WillScot Corporation
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Operations
WillScot Corporation (“WillScot” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), is a leading provider of modular space and portable storage solutions in the United States (“US”), Canada and Mexico. The Company leases, sells, delivers and installs mobile offices, modular buildings and storage products through an integrated network of branch locations that spans North America.
WillScot, whose Class A common shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (Nasdaq: WSC), serves as the holding company for the Williams Scotsman family of companies. All of the Company’s assets and operations are owned through Williams Scotsman Holdings Corp. (“WS Holdings”). WillScot operates and ownsowns 91.0% of WS Holdings, and Sapphire Holding S.à r.l. (“Sapphire”), an affiliate of TDR Capital LLP (“TDR Capital”), owns the remaining 9.0%.
WillScot was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempt company under the name Double Eagle Acquisition Corporation ("Double Eagle"), on June 26, 2015. Prior to November 29, 2017, Double Eagle was a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination. On November 29, 2017, Double Eagle indirectly acquired Williams Scotsman International, Inc. (“WSII”) from Algeco Scotsman Global S.à r.l., (together with its subsidiaries, the “Algeco Group”), which is majority owned by an investment fund managed by TDR Capital. As part of the transaction (the “Business Combination”), Double Eagle domesticated to Delaware and changed its name to WillScot Corporation. Additional information about the Business Combination and the Company's operations prior thereto is contained in the consolidated financial statements and notes included in WillScot's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the US (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.
The results of operations for the interim periods presented.
The results of consolidated operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in WillScot's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of WillScot and its subsidiaries that it controls due to ownership of a majority voting interest. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. Although WillScot was the indirect acquirer of WSII for legal purposes, WSII was considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes.
As a result of WSII being the accounting acquirer, the financial reports filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Company subsequent to the Business Combination are prepared “as if” WSII is the predecessor and legal successor to the Company. The historical operations of WSII are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of WSII prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of WillScot and WSII following the Business Combination on November 29, 2017; (iii) the assets and liabilities of WSII at their historical cost; and (iv) WillScot's equity structure for all periods presented. The recapitalization of the number of shares of common stock attributable to the purchase of WSII in connection with the Business Combination is reflected retroactively to the earliest period presented and is utilized for calculating earnings per share in all prior periods presented. No step-up basis of intangible assets or goodwill was recorded in the Business Combination transaction consistent with the treatment of the transaction as a reverse capitalization of WSII. WSII’s remote accommodations business, which consisted of Target Logistics Management LLC (“Target Logistics”) and its subsidiaries and Chard Camp Catering Services (“Chard,” and together with Target Logistics, the “Remote Accommodations Business”), was transferred to members of the Algeco Group on November 28, 2017 in a transaction under common control and was not included as part of the Business Combination. The operating results of the Remote Accommodations Business, net of tax, for the three and nine

months ended September 30, 2017 have been reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”) as defined under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). Using exemptions provided under the JOBS Act provided to EGCs, the Company has elected to defer compliance with new or revised financial accounting standards until a company that is not an issuer (as defined under section 2(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002)it is required to comply with such standards. As such, compliance dates included below pertain to non-issuers, and as permitted, early adoption dates for non-issuers are indicated.
Subject to limited exception, WillScot will cease to be EGC on the earlier (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which WillScot’s annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion, (ii) the date on which the Company issues more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt securities during the preceding three-year period, and (iii) the date on which WillScot is deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the SEC’s rules. Based on the recent ModSpace (defined below) acquisition described in Note 2, WillScot anticipates that its 2019 annual gross revenues will exceed $1.07 billion. WillScot also anticipates that, due in part to the amount of Class A common stock issued by WillScot to fund the ModSpace acquisition, WillScot will be deemed to be a large accelerated filer, atand cease to qualify as an EGC, as of December 31, 2019 based on the value of its Class A common stock held by non-affiliates at June 30, 2019. WillScot currently foresees remaining an EGC until December 31, 2019, but would lose EGC eligibility immediately if it were to issue additional debt and exceed the debt issuance criteria described above.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014,June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09,2016-13, Revenuefrom Contracts with CustomersFinancial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 606)326), which prescribes that financial assets (or a single comprehensive modelgroup of financial assets) should be measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Credit losses relating to these financial assets should be recorded through an allowance for entities to use in the accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers.credit losses. The new guidance will supersede virtually all existing revenue guidance under GAAP andstandard is effective for annual reporting periodsthe Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption for non-public entities is permitted starting with annual reporting2019, including interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The core principle contemplated by this new standard waswithin that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount reflecting the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. New disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are also required. In April and May 2016, the FASB also issued clarifying updates to the new standard specifically to address certain core principles including the identification of performance obligations, licensing guidance, the assessment of the collectability criterion, the presentation of taxes collected from customers, non-cash considerations, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition.
fiscal year. The Company is currently finalizing its evaluationcontinues to evaluate the impacts of adopting the impact that the updated guidance will havestandard on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures. As part of the evaluation process, the Company continues to hold regular meetings with key stakeholders from across the organization to discuss the impact of the standard on its existing contracts. The Company plans to adopt Topic 606 using the modified retrospective transition approach.
The Company is utilizing a bottom-up approach to analyze the impact of the standard on its portfolio of contracts by reviewing the Company’s current accounting policies and practices to identify potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of the new standard to the Company’s existing revenue contracts.

As part of its implementation project, the Company has prepared analyses with respect to revenue stream scoping, performed contract reviews of a representative sample of customer arrangements, developed a gap analysis and evaluated the revised disclosure requirements. The two primary lines of business impacted by the adoption are new and used sales transactions and modular leasing services transactions. The Company has substantially completed its procedures based on the new and used sales and modular leasing service transactions that occurred through the second quarter of 2018 and is not aware of any significant changes based on the work performed to date. The Company has incorporated the recently acquired Modular Space Holdings, Inc. (“ModSpace”) into the project during the third quarter of 2018. As described in Note 2, ModSpace was acquired in August 2018 and the Company has commenced workshops with key stakeholders, detailed contract reviews and a financial statement disclosure gap evaluation specific to revenue streams acquired through the acquisition.
After finalizing its procedures during the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company will conclude on the level of impact that the adoption of ASC 606 will have on the consolidated financial statements, including financial statement disclosures. Specific to disclosures, the Company expects to provide additional detail regarding the disaggregation of revenue and contract balances. The Company is required to adopt the standard as ofeffective January 1, 2019 and plans to first present financial statements that reflect the adoption in the first quarter of 2019.2020.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"). This guidance revises existing practice related to accounting for leases under ASC Topic 840, Leases (“ASC 840”) for both lessees and lessors. The new guidance requires lessees to recognizeestablishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The lease liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments and the right-of-use asset will be based on the lease liability, subject to adjustment such asbalance sheet for initial direct costs. For income statement purposes,
9



the new standard retains a dual model similar to ASC 840, requiringall leases towith terms longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, or finance. Operatingwith classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This guidance also expands the requirements for lessees to record leases will resultembedded in straight-line expense (similar to current accounting by lessees for operating leases under ASC 840) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current accounting by lessees for capital leases under ASC 840). Whileother arrangements and the new standard maintains similar accountingrequired quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. Accounting guidance for lessors as under ASC 840, the new standard reflects updates to, among other things, align with certain changes to the lessee model. 
The new standardis largely unchanged. This guidance is effective for non-public entities for fiscalfiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.those annual periods using a modified retrospective transition approach. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. However, based on WillScot's expectation that it will cease to be an EGC as of December 31, 2019, the Company plans towill adopt the new standard in the fourth quarter of 2019. Adoption of the new standard could be required earlier in 2019 if WillScot loses EGC eligibility earlier than anticipated based on other criteria.
The guidance includes a number of practical expedients that the Company is evaluating and may elect to apply. The adoption of the new stawithndard will require the Company to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that will be significant to our consolidated balance sheet. The Company will continue to evaluate the impacts of this guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company plans to update its systems, processes and internal controls to meet the new reporting and disclosure requirements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date.
During December 2017, shortly after the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”) which provides guidance on accounting for the Tax Act’s impact. SAB 118 provides a measurement period, which in no case should extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date, during which a company acting in good faith may complete the accounting for the impacts of the Tax Act under ASC Topic 740. Per SAB 118, companies must reflect the income tax effects of the Tax Act in the reporting period in which the accounting under ASC Topic 740 is complete. To the extent the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete, companies can determine a reasonable estimate for those effects and record a provisional estimate in the financial statements in the first reporting period in which a reasonable estimate can be determined. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 based on the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to the Tax Act being enacted. If a company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of the impacts of the Tax Act in a reporting period, a provisional amount must be recorded in the first reporting period in which a reasonable estimate can be determined. As a result of the Tax Act, in 2017, the Company remeasured its net deferred tax liabilities and recognized a provisional net benefit of $28.1 million. In addition, based on information currently available, the Company recorded a provisional income tax expense of $2.4 million in 2017 related to the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. The Company recorded a minor adjustment in 2018 to the provisional amounts recorded in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 (see Note 9) and continues to evaluate the provisions of the Tax Act including guidance from the Department of Treasury and Internal Revenue Service. Additionally, the Company filed its US tax return for 2017 during the fourth quarter of 2018 and any changes to the estimates used to the final tax positions for temporary differences, earnings and profits will result in adjustments of the remeasurement amounts for the Tax Act recorded as of December 31, 2017.
The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the Global Low Taxed Intangible Income (“GILTI”) provision of the Tax Act. The Company is required to make an accounting policy election of either (1) treating GILTI as a current period expense when incurred or (2) factoring such amounts into the Company’s measurement of its deferred taxes. The Company has not completed its analysis and has not made a determination of its accounting policy for GILTI.

NOTE 2 - Acquisitions
Tyson Acquisition
On January 3, 2018, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Onsite Space LLC (d/b/a Tyson Onsite (“Tyson”)). Tyson provided modular space rental services in the Midwest, primarily in Indiana, Illinois and Missouri. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of $24.0 million in cash consideration, net of cash acquired. The transaction was funded by borrowings under the ABL Facility (defined in Note 7).
Through September 30, 2018, the Company has recorded adjustments to the Tyson opening balance sheet, which increased rental equipment and accrued liabilities by $0.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively and decreased property, plant and equipment by $0.1 million. The offset of these adjustments was recorded to goodwill as detailed in Note 6. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired may impact the Company’s statements of operations in future periods. The Company expects that the preliminary values assigned to the rental fleet, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and other accrued tax liabilities will be finalized during the fourth quarter of 2018. 
Tyson results were immaterial to the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and as a result, the Company is not presenting pro-forma information.

Pro-forma results are presented in aggregate with the ModSpace acquisition below.Assets Held for Sale
ModSpace Acquisition
On August 15, 2018, (the "Closing Date"), the Company acquired ModSpace,Modular Space Holdings, Inc. ("ModSpace"), a privately-owned national provider of office trailers, portable storage units and modular buildings. The acquisition was consummated by merging a special purpose subsidiary of the Company with and into ModSpace, with ModSpace surviving the merger as a subsidiary of WSII. The Company acquired ModSpace to create long-term shareholder value driven by, among other things, economies of scale, cost synergies and revenue opportunities unique to a combination of WillScot's and ModSpace's operations, and other benefits associated with being an industry-leading specialty rental services provider.
Purchase Price
The aggregate purchase price for ModSpace was $1.2 billion and consisted of (i) $1.1 billion in cash, (ii) 6,458,229 shares of WillScot's Class A common stock (the "Stock Consideration") with a fair market value of $95.8 million and (iii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of WillScot’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $15.50 per share (the "ModSpace"2018 Warrants") with a fair market value of $52.3 million, and (iv) a working capital adjustment of $5.7$4.7 million. Of the cash consideration, $3.0 million was deposited into an escrow account to fund any post-closing adjustments from differences between the estimated working capital and the actual working capital of ModSpace at closing. The final working capital of ModSpace at closing is still being evaluated by the Company and the sellers' representative in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. 
The acquisition was funded by the net proceeds of WillScot's issuance of 9,200,000 shares of Class A common stock, (see Note 8), the net proceeds of WSII’s issuance of $300.0 million in senior secured notes and $200.0 million in senior unsecured notes (see(see Note 7)8), and borrowings under the ABL Facility (see Note 7)8).
The purchase price has been determined to be as follows:
Purchase Price 
(in thousands, except for per share amounts) Price 
Cash $1,054,416 
Stock consideration (a) 95,796 
ModSpace warrants (b) 52,310 
Working capital adjustment (c) 5,724 
Total purchase price $1,208,246 
(a) The fair market value of the 6,458,229 shares issued as consideration was determined using the closing price on August 15, 2018, of $15.78 per share less a discount of 6.0%, based on a lock up agreement executed in connection with the acquisition of ModSpace.
(b) Warrants were valued assuming a fair market value of $5.23 as estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model as of August 15, 2018.

The Company's analysis, as of the acquisition date, are determined based on preliminary valuations and analyses. Accordingly, the Company has made provisional estimates for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The valuation of intangible assets acquired is based on certain valuation assumptions yet to be finalized, including cash flow projections, discount rates, contributory asset charges and other valuation model inputs. The valuation of tangible long-lived assets acquired is dependent upon, among other things, refinementincluded an assessment of the inputs inrisk of collectability of receivables by analyzing historical payment trends, the valuation modelstatus of collection efforts, and an analysisany other pertinent customer specific information that existed as of the condition and estimated remaining useful lives of the assets acquired.

NOTE 3 - Revenue
Adoption of ASU 2014-09
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASC 606") as well as subsequent updates using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2019. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2019 are presented under the guidance required by ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition ("ASC 605"). The tables below present unaudited pro-forma consolidated statementsimplementation of operations informationASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results for the period ending September 30, 2019.
Revenue Recognition Policy
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.
Modular Leasing and Services Revenue
The majority of revenue (69% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 63% and 67% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively) is generated by rental income subject to the guidance of ASC 840. The remaining revenue for 2019 and 2018 is generated by performance obligations in contracts with customers for services or sale of units subject to the guidance in ASC 606 or ASC 605.
Leasing Revenue (ASC 840)
Income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company's lease arrangements typically include multiple lease and non-lease components. Examples of lease components include, but are not limited to, the lease of modular space or portable storage units, and examples of non-lease components include, but are not limited to, the delivery, installation, maintenance, and removal services commonly provided in a bundled transaction with the lease components. Arrangement consideration is allocated between lease deliverables and non-lease components based on the relative estimated selling (leasing) price of each deliverable. Estimated selling (leasing) price of the lease deliverables is based upon the estimated stand-alone selling price of the related performance obligations using an adjusted market approach.
When leases and services are billed in advance, recognition of revenue is deferred until services are rendered. If equipment is returned prior to the contractually obligated period, the excess, if ModSpaceany, between the amount the customer is contractually required to pay over the cumulative amount of revenue recognized to date is recognized as incremental revenue upon return.
Rental equipment is leased primarily under operating leases and, Actonfrom time to time, under sales-type lease arrangements. Operating lease minimum contractual terms generally range from 1 month to 60 months and averaged approximately 10 months across the Company's rental fleet for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Services Revenue (ASC 606)
The Company generally has three non-lease service-related performance obligations in its contracts with customers:
Delivery and installation of the modular or portable storage unit;
Maintenance and other ad hoc services performed during the lease term; and
Removal services that occur at the end of the lease term.
Consideration is allocated to each of these performance obligations within the contract based upon their estimated relative standalone selling prices using the estimated cost plus margin approach. Revenue from these activities is recognized as the services are performed.
Sales Revenue (ASC 606)
Sales revenue is generated by the sale of new and used units. Revenue from the sale of new and used units is generally recognized at a point in time upon the transfer of control to the customer, which occurs when the unit is delivered and installed in accordance with the contract. Sales transactions constitute a single performance obligation.

Receivables, Contract Assets and Liabilities
As reflected above, approximately 69% of the Company's rental revenue is accounted for under ASC 840 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The customers that are responsible for the remaining revenue that is accounted for under ASC 606 (and ASC 605 prior to 2019) are generally the same customers that rent the Company's equipment. The Company incurred $10.7manages credit risk associated with its accounts receivables at the customer level. Because the same customers generate the revenues that are accounted for under both ASC 606 and ASC 840, the discussions below on credit risk and the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts address the Company's total revenues.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to the Company's receivables is limited because of a large number of geographically diverse customers who operate in a variety of end user markets. The Company's top five customers with the largest open receivables balances represented 2.4% of the total receivables balance as of September 30, 2019. The Company manages credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, and other monitoring procedures.
The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts reflects its estimate of the amount of receivables that it will be unable to collect based on specific customer risk and historical write-off experience. The Company's estimates reflect changing circumstances, including changes in the economy or in the particular circumstances of individual customers. Accordingly, the Company may be required to increase or decrease its allowance. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized bad debt expenses of $5.5 million and $14.8$11.8 million, respectively, within SG&A in transaction costs related to the ModSpace acquisitionits condensed consolidated statements of income, which included amounts written-off and changes in its allowances for doubtful accounts. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized bad debt expenses of $3.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively.

NOTE 3 - Discontinued Operations

For the future services revenues that are expected to be recognized within twelve months, the Company has elected to utilize the optional disclosure exemption made available regarding transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations. The transaction price for performance obligations that will be completed in greater than twelve months is variable based on the costs ultimately incurred to provide those services and Target Logistics. therefore the Company is applying the optional exemption to omit disclosure of such amounts.

The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. While the Company may bill certain customers in advance, its contracts do not contain a significant financing component based on the short length of time between upfront billings and the performance of contracted services. For certain products, services, or customer types, the Company requires payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer.

Impairment Indicator Analysis
t, which the Company expects will be non-deductible for income tax purposes. The Company expects to finalizehad no goodwill impairment during the valuation of the acquired net assets of ModSpace within the one-year measurement period from the date of acquisition. 
As described in Note 2, the Company acquired Tyson in January 2018. A preliminary valuation of the acquired net assets of Tyson resulted in the recognition of $3.4 million of goodwill in the Modular - US segment, which the Company expects will be deductible for tax purposes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and there were no indicators of impairment as of September 30, 2019. There were indicators of impairment as of December 31, 2018, as detailed below.
In December 2018, there was a significant decline in the debt and equity capital markets, including the Company’s stock price, which constituted an indicator of potential impairment in management's judgment. As a result, the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2018. The interim impairment analysis determined that there was no impairment of goodwill for either the US or Canadian reporting units as of December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, the Company madeUS reporting unit continued to have a $0.3 millionfair value in excess of carrying value of over 100%. The Canadian reporting unit was determined to have a fair value in excess of carrying value of less than 1% as of December 31, 2018.
The fair value of the reporting units at December 31, 2018 was determined based on the income approach, which requires management to make certain estimates and $0.7 million adjustmentjudgments for estimates of economic and market information in the discounted cash flow analyses.
There are inherent uncertainties and judgments involved when determining the fair value of the reporting units because the success of the reporting unit depends on the achievement of key assumptions developed by management including, but not limited to (i) achieving revenue growth through pricing, increased units on rent, increased penetration of VAPS, and other commercial strategies, (ii) efficient management of the Company's operations and the Company's fleet through maintenance and capital investment, and (iii) achieving margin expectations, including integration synergies with acquired companies.
In addition, some of the estimates and assumptions used in determining fair value of the reporting units utilize inputs that are outside the control of management and are dependent on market and economic conditions, such as the discount rate, foreign currency rates, and growth rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and deterioration of market and economic conditions would adversely impact the Company's ability to meet its projected results and would affect the fair value of the reporting units.
Of the key assumptions that impact the goodwill impairment test, the expected future cash flows, discount rate and foreign exchange rates are among the most sensitive and are considered to be critical assumptions. If any one of the above inputs changes, it could reduce or increase the estimated fair value of the affected reporting unit. A reduction in the fair value of a reporting unit could result in an impairment charge up to the preliminary valuationfull amount of goodwill reported.
Although the Company believes that it has sufficient historical and projected information available to test for goodwill impairment, it is possible that actual results could differ from the estimates used in its impairment tests. As a result, the Company continues to monitor actual results versus forecast results and internal and external factors that may impact the enterprise value of the acquired net assets of Tyson, including the related goodwill, due to further evaluation of rental equipment and property, plant and equipment, and non-indemnified liabilities.reporting unit.
As discussed in further detail in Note 2, the Company acquired Acton in December 2017. A preliminary valuation of the acquired net assets of Acton resulted in the recognition of $28.6 million of goodwill to the Modular - US segment, as defined in Note 14, for the year ended December 31, 2017. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company made a 
$1.7 million net adjustment that increased the acquired net assets of Acton, primarily due to further evaluation of insurance related receivables. 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company made net adjustments of

NOTE 9 – Income Taxes
The Company recorded an incomeCompany’s effective tax benefit of approximately $6.5 million and $13.6 millionrate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019 was 266.4% and 8.4%, respectively, and $7.6 million15.0% and $17.8 million for23.9% for the samecorresponding periods of 2017.
in 2018. The Company’s effectiveCompany did not recognize a tax rate (“ETR”)benefit on the loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was 15.0% and 36.2%, respectively, and 23.9% and 33.3% for theor nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
2019 as it is not more likely than not that the benefit is realizable. A tax benefit will be recognized only when there is sufficient income to support realizability. The Company’s estimated annual ETR ("EAETR") of 14.8% on the forecasted pre-tax loss is lower than the US statutoryeffective tax rate of 21.0% due to certain offsets to the overall tax benefit, namely: (1) a partial valuation allowance, $8.0 million tax expense, due to the limitation on the deductibility of interest expense estimated for the current year partially offset by reduction to the deferred tax liability, $2.3 million tax benefit, established for the book over tax basis difference for the Company's investment in its Canadian subsidiary and (2) a gross permanent disallowance, $6.6 million, of which $5.7 million relates to the non-deductibility of certain transaction costs in relation to the ModSpace acquisition.
The Company’s ETR for the three months ended September 30, 2018 of 15.0% is comparable to its EAETR due to minimal discrete items for the quarter of $0.6 million, which is primarily attributable to adjustments to deferred taxes for legislation enacted in certain state taxing jurisdictions during the quarter, notably, in New Jersey. 
The Company’s ETR for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 of 23.9% is higher than the EAETR due to $5.3 million of discrete tax benefit recorded year to date, of which a $4.3 million tax benefit is attributable to a reduction in our net state deferred tax liability in Maryland due to change in tax law enacted in the second quarter.
In addition, to the foregoing, the Company also recognized tax expense of $0.1 million and tax benefit of $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, related2019 is principally a result of discrete items. The higher effective rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 is due to foreign currency gains and losses. Fora smaller pre-tax loss from operations than the prior two quarters.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, the Company recognized income tax expensebenefit of $1.6 $1.2 million and $4.8$2.0 million, respectively, relatedprimarily attributable to foreign currency gains. The Company also adjusted(i) enacted legislative changes and (ii) valuation allowance adjustments generated by changes in provisional ModSpace balances recorded in 2019.
During the provisional amounts for the impacts of the Tax Act under SAB 118 reported in its financial statements for the yearthree and nine months ended December 31, 2017. As of September 30, 2018, athe Company recognized income tax benefit of $0.6 million tax benefit has been recorded in relationand $5.3 million, respectively, mainly related to tax reform guidance under SAB 118. As noted above, the Company recorded a discrete benefit of $4.3 millionenacted legislative changes in the second quarter of 2018 to reduce its net state deferred tax liability primarily related to the enactment of an apportionment rule change in Maryland.2018.

NOTE 1011 - Fair Value Measures
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The Company utilizes the suggested accounting guidance for the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 -Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 -Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 -Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions
The Company has assessed that the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, capital lease and other financing obligations, and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

NOTE 1213 - Stock-Based Compensation
On November 16, 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved a long-term incentive award plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Under the Plan, the Committee may grant an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Class A common stock in the form of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance compensation awards and stock bonus awards. Stock-based payments including the grant of stock options, RSUs, and RSAs are subject to service-based vesting requirements, and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, no RSAs, RSUs or stock options were granted under the Plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, 27,675 RSAs, 921,7302019, 478,400 time-based restricted stock units ("Time-Based RSUs") and 302,182 market-based restricted stock units ("Market-Based RSUs", and together with the Time-Based RSUs, the "RSUs"), and 589,25752,755 restricted stock awards ("RSAs") were granted under the WillScot Corporation 2017 Incentive Award Plan (the "Plan"). NaN stock option awards were granted under the Plan. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, 0 and 35,050 RSUs were forfeited.
Stock-based payments to employees include grants of stock options and RSUs, which are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value.
RSUs and RSAs are valued based on the intrinsic value of the difference between the exercise price, if any, of the award and the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the grant date. RSAs vest over a one-year period and RSUs vest over a four-year period.
Stock options vest in tranches over a period of four years and expire ten years from the grant date. The fair value of each stock option award on the grant date is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield, expected stock price volatility, weighted-average risk-free interest rate and weighted-average expected term of the options. The volatility assumption used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model is based on peer group volatility as the Company does not have a sufficient trading history as a stand-alone public company. Additionally, due to an insufficient history with respect to stock option activity and post-vesting cancellations, the expected term assumption is based on the simplified method under GAAP, which is based on the vesting period and contractual term for each tranche of awards. The mid-point between the weighted-average vesting term and the expiration date is used as the expected term under this method. The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes model is based on the implied US Treasury bill yield curve at the date of grant with a remaining term equal to the Company’s expected term assumption. The Company has never declared or paid a cash dividend on common shares.
As of September 30, 2018, none of the granted RSAs, RSUs or stock options had vested.

Market-Based Restricted Stock Units
On March 21, 2019, the Company granted 302,182 Market-Based RSUs, which vest based on achievement of the relative total stockholder return ("TSR") of the Company's common stock as compared to the TSR of the constituents of the Russell 3000 Index at grant date over the three-year period performance period. The target number of Market-Based RSUs may be adjusted from 0% to 150% based on the TSR attainment levels defined by the Compensation Committee. The 100% target payout is tied to performance at the 50% percentile, with a payout curve ranging from 0% (for performance less than the 25% percentile) to 150% (for performance at or above the 75% percentile). Vesting is also subject to continued service requirements through the vesting date. Each Market-Based RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share upon vesting of the Company’s Class A common stock, or its cash equivalent.
The Market-Based RSUs were valued based on a Monte Carlo simulation model to reflect the impact of the Market-Based RSU market condition, resulting in a grant-date fair value per Market-Based RSU of $13.22. The probability of satisfying a market condition is considered in the estimation of the grant-date fair value for Market-Based RSUs and the compensation cost is not reversed if the market condition is not achieved, provided the requisite service has been provided.
Compensation expense for Market-Based RSUs recognized in SG&A on the condensed consolidated statements of operations was $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, with associated tax benefits of $0.0 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. At September 30, 2019, unrecognized compensation cost related to Market-Based RSUs totaled $3.2 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period of 3.52.5 years.

NOTE 14 - Derivatives
On November 6, 2018, WSII entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap Agreement”) with a financial counterparty that effectively converts $400.0 million in aggregate notional amount of variable-rate debt under the Company’s ABL Facility into fixed-rate debt. The Swap Agreement will terminate on May 29, 2022, at the same time the Company’s ABL Facility matures. The Swap Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants and may be terminated prior to its expiration.
The Swap Agreement was designated and qualified as a hedge of the Company’s exposure to changes in interest payment cash flows created by fluctuations in variable interest rates on the ABL Facility. Although no significant ineffectiveness is expected with this hedging strategy, the effectiveness of the interest rate swaps is evaluated on a quarterly basis. The Company did not have any derivative financial instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
The following table summarizes the outstanding interest rate swap arrangement as of September 30, 2019:

The interest rate swap, excluding the impact of taxes, resulted in a loss recognized of $0.7 million and $8.6 million in other comprehensive income ("OCI") for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The Company reclassified $0.8 million and $2.0 million from AOCL into interest expense on the condensed consolidated income statement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
Cash flows from derivative instruments are presented within net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

NOTE 1315 - Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various lawsuits or claims in the ordinary course of business. Management is of the opinion that there is no pending claim or lawsuit which, if adversely determined, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 1416 - Segment Reporting
The Company historically has operatedoperates in two1 principal linesline of business;business: modular leasing and sales and remote accommodations, which were managed separately. The Remote Accommodations Business was considered a single operating segment. As part of the Business Combination, the Remote Accommodations segment is no longer owned by the Company and is reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements. As such, the segment was excluded from the segment information below.
28



sales.
Modular leasing and sales is comprised of two2 operating segments: US and Other North America. The US modular operating segment (“Modular - US”) consists of the contiguous 48 states and Hawaii. The Other North America operating segment (“Modular - Other North America”) consists of Alaska, Canada and Mexico. Corporate and other includes eliminations of costs and revenue between segments and Algeco Group corporate costs not directly attributable to the underlying segments. Following the Business Combination, no additional Algeco Group corporate costs were incurred and the Company’s ongoing corporate costs are included within the Modular - US segment. Total assets for each reportable segment are not available because the Company utilizes a centralized approach to working capital management. Transactions between reportable segments are not significant.
As discussed in Note 6, the net assets acquired from ModSpace were allocated to both the Modular - US and Modular - Other North America segments. The US operations of ModSpace are included in the Modular - US segment and the Canadian operations of ModSpace are included in the Modular - Other North America segment. The operations and net assets acquired from Acton and Tyson are both included in the Modular - US segment.
The CompanyChief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") evaluates business segment performance on Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes certain items as shown in the reconciliation of the Company’s consolidated net loss before tax to Adjusted EBITDA below. Management believes that evaluating segment performance excluding such items is meaningful because it provides insight with respect to intrinsic operating results of the Company.
The Company also regularly evaluates gross profit by segment to assist in the assessment of its operational performance. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA to be the more important metric because it more fully captures the business performance of the segments, inclusive of indirect costs.

NOTE 1517 - Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss)loss attributable to WillScot by the weighted average number of its Class A common shares outstanding during the period. The common shares issued as a result of the vesting of RSUs and RSAs as well as the exercise of stock options, were included in EPS based on the weighted average number of days in which they were vested and outstanding during the period. Concurrently with the Business Combination, 12,425,000 of WillScot's Class A common shares were placed into escrow by shareholders and became ineligible to vote or participate in the economic rewards available to the other Class A shareholders. Escrowed shares were therefore excluded from the EPS calculation while deposited in the escrow account. 6,212,500 of the escrowed shares were released to shareholders on January 19, 2018, and the remaining escrowed shares were released to shareholders on August 21, 2018.
WillScot's Class B common shares have no rights to dividends or distributions made by the Company and, in turn, are excluded from the EPS calculation.
Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic net income (loss) per share, except that it includes the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities were exercised. Effects of potentially dilutive securities are presented only in periods in which they are dilutive. Stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards, representing 589,257, 886,680 and 27,675 shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Warrants representing 44,750,000 shares of Class A shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Pursuant to the exchange agreement entered into by WS Holding's shareholders, Sapphire has the right, but not the obligation, to exchange all, but not less than all, of its shares of WS Holdings into newly issued shares of WillScot’s Class A common stock in a private placement transaction. The impact
Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic EPS, except that it includes the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities were exercised. Effects of this exchange has beenpotentially dilutive securities are presented only in periods in which they are dilutive.
Stock options and warrants representing 534,188 and 9,999,579 shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because thetheir effect would have been anti-dilutive. Stock options, Time-Based RSUs, RSAs, and warrants representing 386,875, 1,071,721, 52,755, and 22,183,513 shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Market-Based RSUs representing 294,697 shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which can vest at 0% to 150% of the amount granted, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Stock options, Time-Based RSU, RSAs and warrants representing 589,257, 886,680, 27,675 and 44,750,000 shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 17 - Subsequent Events
On November 6, 2018, WSII entered into an interest rate swap transaction with a financial counterparty that effectively converts $400.0 million in aggregate notional amount of its variable-rate debt into fixed-rate debt. The fixed rate paid by WSII is 3.06% and the variable rate received resets monthly to a one-month LIBOR rate. The swap transaction, which matures on May 29, 2022, was consummated to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in WSII’s floating-rate credit agreement, which also matures on May 29, 2022, and not for trading or speculative purposes. The master agreement that governs the interest rate swap contains customary representations, warranties and covenants and may be terminated prior to its expiration.
On November 8, 2018, WillScot announced the commencement of an offer to each holder of its public and private warrants to purchase one-half share of Class A common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, of WillScot for a purchase price of $5.75 (the “Warrants”) to receive 0.1818 common shares in exchange for each Warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the “Offer”). The warrants issued in connection with the Company's acquisition of ModSpace, each of which is exercisable for one share of WillScot Class A common stock at an exercise price of $15.50 per share, are not subject to the Offer. The Offer is made solely upon the terms and conditions in a Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and other related offering materials that are being distributed to holders of the Warrants. The Offer will be open until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on December 6, 2018, or such later time and date to which WillScot may extend.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand WillScot Corporation (“WillScot” or the “Company”("WillScot"), our operations and our present business environment. Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refers to WillScot and its subsidiaries. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto, contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
On November 29, 2017, the Company, through its subsidiary, Williams Scotsman Holdings Corp. (“WS Holdings”), acquired all of the equity interest of Williams Scotsman International, Inc. (“WSII”) via a reverse recapitalization (the “Business Combination”). As a result of the Business Combination, (i) WillScot’s consolidated financial results for periods prior to November 29, 2017 reflect the financial results of WSII and its consolidated subsidiaries, as the accounting predecessor to WillScot, and (ii) for periods from and after this date, WillScot’s financial results reflect those of WillScot and its consolidated subsidiaries (including WSII and its subsidiaries) as the successor following the Business Combination.
Prior to the completion of the Business Combination, WSII also provided full-service remote workforce accommodation solutions in their remote accommodations business, which consisted of Target Logistics Management LLC (“Target Logistics”) and its subsidiaries and Chard Camp Catering Services (“Chard,” and together with Target Logistics, the “Remote Accommodations Business”). A parent company of WSII’s former owners, Algeco Scotsman Global S.à r.l., (together with its subsidiaries, the “Algeco Group”), undertook an internal restructuring (the “Carve-Out Transaction”) whereby certain assets related to WSII’s historical Remote Accommodations Business were transferred from WSII to other entities owned by the Algeco Group. This Remote Accommodations Business segment in its entirety is presented as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have beenwere prepared in accordanceconformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the US (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements.. We use certain non-GAAP financial information that we believe is important for purposes of comparison to prior periods and development of future projections and earnings growth prospects.

Executive Summary and Outlook
We are the leading provider of modular space and portable storage solutions in the United States (“US”), Canada and Mexico. In the third quarter of 2018, we completed the acquisition of Modular Space Holdings, Inc. (“ModSpace”) for a total purchase price of approximately $1.2 billion. With the addition of ModSpace, asAs of September 30, 2018,2019, our branch network included over 120 locations and additional storage lots to service more than 50,000 customers across the US, Canada and Mexico. We offer our customers an extensive selection of “Ready to Work” modular space and portable storage solutions and now manage a fleet of over 132,000approximately 130,000 modular space units and over 26,000 portable storage units. We remain focused on our core priorities of growing modular leasing revenues by increasing modular space units on rent, both organically and through our consolidation strategy, delivering “Ready to Work” solutions to our customers with value-addedvalue added products and services (“VAPS”("VAPS"), and on continually improving the overall customer experience.
SubsequentSince the end of 2017, we have complemented our already strong organic growth by acquiring and integrating regional and national competitors in Acton Mobile Holdings LLC (“Acton”) (acquired in December 2017) and Modular Space Holdings, Inc. ("ModSpace") (acquired in August 2018). The remaining integration activities for these acquisitions as of September 30, 2019 primarily consist of continued real estate exits and the related fleet relocations required to exit these properties. As of September 30, 2019, we have completed approximately 75% of our planned real estate exits, and the close ofremaining exits will continue during the ModSpace transaction on August 15, 2018, we began the process to integrate ModSpace's operations into our organizational structure, branch footprint, shared services and information technology platform. These efforts are well underway and effective November 1, 2018, our combined sales organization began writing all new contracts (including those associated with legacy ModSpace assets) from WillScot's operating and information technology platform. We anticipate full information technology cut-over from the ModSpace systems in the first quarterremainder of 2019 and will continue ourinto 2020. Five held for sale properties were sold during the three months ended September 30, 2019 for net proceeds of $4.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, total net sale proceeds from held for sale properties were $12.9 million. These exits, along with other integration efforts around real estate consolidation and fleet relocation on both the Acton Mobile ("Acton") and ModSpace acquisitions.  
Before announcing the ModSpace acquisition, we secured debt commitments from several financial institutionsactions taken, have allowed us to fund the acquisition. In the third quarter, we entered into or amended several agreements to fund the cash consideration paid in the acquisition on a permanent basis and to pay related fees and expenses. In particular we:
• upsized our senior secured revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility") to $1.425 billion (expandable to $1.8 billion through an accordion feature) and obtained the amendments required to finance the acquisition and to give effect to our greater scale thereafter;
• completed a $300.0 million private placement of 6.875% senior secured notes due 2023 (the "2023 Secured Notes");

• completed a $200.0 million private placement of senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the "Unsecured Notes"); and
• raised $147.2realize approximately $31.2 million of gross proceedscumulative synergies from an underwritten common stock offering.these acquisitions. Approximately 70% of the estimated annualized cost synergies from the acquisitions of $70.0 million were in our run rate as of September 30, 2019. These acquisitions, coupled with WillScot's innovative "Ready to Work" solutions and commitment to customer service, have solidified WillScot's market leading position.

Although only 9.7% of our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were from the Modular - Other North America segment, markets in Canada, including Alaska, and Mexico, show continued improvement despite declines experienced over the last several years related to the energy markets. Improvement in average modular space monthly rental rates, average modular space units on rent, and average modular space monthly utilization continued in the third quarter as compared to the same period in 2017. However, competitive pressures in these markets may continue to depress pricing given current levels of supply in the market until utilization across the industry improves.

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 20182019 and 20172018
Revenue: Total revenue increased $102.7$53.4 million, or 88.4%24.4%, to $272.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $218.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily the result of a 34.3% increase in leasing and services revenue driven by increased volumes from acquisitions and improved pricing. Increased volumes were driven by units acquired as part of the ModSpace acquisition, as well as increased modular delivery and installation revenues on the combined rental fleet of 32.3% due to increased transaction volumes and higher revenues per transaction. Average modular space monthly rental rates increased 12.3% to $630 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and average modular space units on rent increased 15,820 units, or 21.0%, due to the impact of an additional 1.5 months of contribution from the ModSpace acquisition in the third quarter of 2019. Improved pricing was driven by a combination of our price optimization tools and processes, as well as by continued growth in our “Ready to Work” solutions and increased VAPS penetration across our customer base, offset partially by lower average modular space monthly rental rates on acquired units for ModSpace. The increase in leasing and services revenue was partially offset by decreases of $9.4 million, or 45.0%, and $2.0 million, or 20.8%, on new unit and rental unit sales, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2018 driven by large sales originating from $116.2ModSpace that were completed subsequent to the acquisition in the third quarter of 2018 that did not reoccur in 2019.
35



On a pro forma basis, including results of WillScot and ModSpace for all periods presented, total revenues decreased $28.3 million, or 9.4%, year-over-year for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This decline was driven by reduced new sales, which declined $34.7 million, or 75.1%, driven primarily by one large new sale recognized in 2018 in the amount of $26.3 million in our Modular - US segment, and decreased rental unit sales, which declined $6.3 million, or 45.0%. The declines in sales volumes were partially offset by increases in our core modular leasing revenues, which increased $14.0 million, or 7.9%, driven primarily by a 13.9% increase in average modular space monthly rental rates.
Total average units on rent for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 107,649 and 91,194, respectively. The increase is due to the impact of an additional 1.5 months of contribution from the ModSpace acquisition in the third quarter of 2019, with modular space average units on rent increasing 15,820 units, or 21.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Modular space average monthly rental rates increased 12.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Portable storage average units on rent increased by 635 units, or 4.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Average portable storage monthly rental rates increased 2.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The average modular space unit utilization rate during the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 71.2%, as compared to 71.8% during the same period in 2018. This decrease was driven by lower average modular space units on rent, partially offset by a lower total modular space unit fleet size. The average portable storage unit utilization rate during the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 63.0%, as compared to 68.0% during the same period in 2018. The decrease in average portable storage utilization rate was driven by organic declines in the number of portable storage average units on rent.
Gross Profit: Our gross profit percentage was 38.0% and 37.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our gross profit percentage, excluding the effects of depreciation, was 54.1% and 53.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Gross profit increased $22.5 million, or 27.8%, to $103.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.2019 from $80.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in gross profit is a result of a $30.6 million increase in modular leasing gross profit and increased delivery and installation gross profit of $3.1 million. Increases in modular leasing and services gross profit were primarily as a result of increased revenues due to additional activity and units on rent as a result of the ModSpace acquisition as well as increased margins due to favorable average monthly rental rates on modular space units and increased delivery and installation margins driven primarily by higher pricing per transaction. These increases were partially offset by increased depreciation of $8.4 million as a result of additional rental equipment acquired as part of the ModSpace acquisition, as well as continued capital investment in our existing rental equipment.
SG&A: Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") decreased $3.7 million, or 5.1%, to $68.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $71.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The primary driver of the decrease is related to lower discrete costs. Discrete items within SG&A decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, by $12.0 million as transaction and integration costs related to the ModSpace acquisition which closed in the third quarter of 2018 decreased $10.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, but were partially offset by an increase in stock compensation expense of $0.8 million.
Decreases in discrete items were also offset by increased employee costs of $3.1 million driven by the increased size of the workforce, net of realized employee cost synergies savings to date achieved as a result of the restructuring activities; and increased occupancy costs of $0.6 million largely due to the expansion of our branch network and storage lots, including a portion of the expected cost savings as we have now exited approximately 75% of redundant real estate locations.
The remaining increases of $4.6 million are related to increased professional fees, insurance, computer, travel, office, bad debt, and other expenses related to operating a larger business as a result of our recent acquisitions and our expanded employee base and branch network.
We estimate incremental cost synergies of approximately $10.0 million related to the Acton and ModSpace acquisitions were realized in the three months ended September 30, 2019, which compares to approximately $2.4 million of synergies realized in the three months ended September 30, 2018, bringing cumulative synergies related to the Acton, Tyson, and ModSpace acquisitions from the dates of the acquisitions to September 30, 2019 to approximately $31.2 million. These cost synergies are consistent with our integration plans and we expect these activities to continue through 2019 as we continue our efforts to achieve expected annual recurring cost savings of over $70.0 million once our integration plans are fully executed and in our results.
Other Depreciation and Amortization:Other depreciation and amortization of $3.7 million remained flat for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Restructuring Costs: Restructuring costs were $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The restructuring charges relate primarily to employee termination and lease breakage costs related to the ModSpace and Acton acquisitions and integration.
Currency Losses (Gains), net: Currency losses (gains), net decreased by $0.6 million to a $0.2 million loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to a $0.4 million gain for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in currency gains in 2019 was primarily attributable to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on loans and borrowings and intercompany receivables and payables denominated in a currency other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency.

Other Income, Net: Other income, net was $1.1 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Other income, net of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily related to $0.9 million of gains on real estate sold during the period and the receipt of $1.3 million of insurance proceeds related to assets damaged during Hurricane Irma in the third quarter, which contributed $0.4 million to other income, net. Other income, net of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was driven by the receipt of a settlement related to assets damaged during Hurricane Harvey which contributed $0.8 million to other income, net.
Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased $12.5 million, or 28.8%, to $30.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $43.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The interest costs incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2018 included $20.5 million of bridge financing fees and upfront commitment fees related to the financing of the ModSpace acquisition. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 includes an additional 1.5 months of expense under our current debt structure as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. In the third quarter of 2018, as part of financing the ModSpace acquisition, we upsized our ABL Facility to $1.425 billion, issued $300.0 million of senior secured notes (the "2023 Secured Notes"), and issued $200 million of 10% senior unsecured notes (the "Unsecured Notes"). Further, in the second quarter of 2019 we issued $190.0 million of Tack-on Notes in aggregate principal amount to the 2023 Secured Notes and used the proceeds to repay a portion of the ABL Facility. Subsequent to the issuance of the Tack-on Notes, we redeemed all $200.0 million in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Notes using proceeds from the ABL Facility. See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt.
Income Tax Benefit: Income tax benefit decreased $5.3 million to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in income tax benefit was driven by the discrete benefits recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2018 which did not occur in the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
Revenue: Total revenue increased $299.5 million, or 60.6%, to $793.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $494.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily the result of a 88.4%63.2% increase in leasing and services revenue driven by increased volumes from acquisitions and improved pricingpricing. Increased volumes were driven by units acquired as part of the ModSpace acquisition, as well as increased modular delivery and volumes.installation revenues on the combined rental fleet of 61.5% due to increased transaction volumes and higher revenues per transaction. Average modular space monthly rental rates increased 3.7%9.0% to $561$605 for the threenine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, and average modular space units on rent increased 33,94931,563 units, or 81.9%52.0%. Improved pricing was driven by a combination of our price optimization tools and processes, as well as by continued growth in our “Ready to Work” solutions and increased VAPS penetration across our customer base, offset partially by the average modular space monthly rental rates on acquired units for Acton, Tyson, and ModSpace. Improved volumes were driven by units acquired as part of the Acton, Tyson, and ModSpace acquisitions, as well as increased modular delivery and installation revenues on the combined rental fleet of 90.2%. The increase in leasing and services revenue was further complemented by increases of $11.3$4.5 million, or 117.7%13.4%, and $3.0$13.9 million, or 45.5%88.0%, on new unit and rental unit sales, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase year over year2018. Increases in both new sales was primarily driven by a single large sale project within the US.

On a pro-formapro forma basis, including results of WillScot Acton, Tyson, and ModSpace for all periods presented, total revenues increased $30.4decreased $13.1 million, or 11.3%1.6%, year-over-year for the threenine months ended September 30, 2018. Increases were2019. This decline was driven by reduced new sales, which declined $42.6 million, or 52.8%, driven primarily by one large new sale recognized in 2018 in the amount of $26.3 million in our Modular - US segment, and decreased rental unit sales, which declined $6.7 million, or 18.4%. The declines in sales volumes were partially offset by an increase in our core modular leasing and services revenues, which increased $44.3 million, or 8.6%, as a result of a 12.0%13.5% increase in average modular space monthly rental rates, and due to increased new sales.rates.
Total average units on rent for the threenine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 109,138 and 2017 were 91,194 and 53,705,75,079, respectively.

Average portable storage monthly rental rates increased 2.6%decreased 1.6% for the threenine months ended September 30, 2018.2019. The average modular space unit utilization rate during the threenine months ended September 30, 2019 was 72.1%, as compared to 70.1% during the same period in 2018. This increase was driven by higher utilization on the acquired ModSpace fleet as compared to the overall average utilization for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was 71.8%, as compared to 71.3% duringwhich included the same period in 2017. The increase in average modular space utilization rate was driven by improvement in the modular space average units on rent in the Modular - Other North America business segment, slightly offset by declines in the Modular - US business segment as a result offleet acquired units at lower utilization rates.from Acton and Tyson. The average portable storage unit utilization rate during the threenine months ended September 30, 20182019 was 68.0%64.6%, as compared to 69.8%68.3% during the same period in 2017.2018.

The increase in gross profit is a result of a $52.0$165.8 million increase in modular leasing and services gross profit and increased new unit and rental unit gross profit of $4.1$5.6 million. Increases in modular leasing and services gross profit were primarily as a result of increased revenues due to additional units on rent as a result of recent acquisitions as well as increased margins due to favorable average monthly rental rates on modular space units.units and increased delivery and installation margins driven primarily by higher pricing per transaction. These increases were partially offset by increased depreciation of $16.5$46.1 million as a result of additional rental equipment acquired as part of the Acton, Tyson, and ModSpace acquisitions,acquisition, as well as continued capital investment in our existing rental equipment.
Selling, General and Administrative:SG&A: Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”)&A increased $35.8$48.5 million, or 99.2%29.4%, to $71.9$213.3 million for the threenine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, compared to $36.1$164.8 million for the threenine months ended September 30, 2017. $13.92018. Employee costs increased $23.3 million driven by the increased size of the SG&A increase was driven by discrete items includingworkforce, net of realized employee cost synergies savings to date achieved as a result of the restructuring activities; and occupancy costs increased transaction costs of $5.4$8.2 million relatedlargely due to the ModSpace acquisitionexpansion of our branch network and increasedstorage lots, including a portion of the expected cost savings as we have now exited approximately 75% of redundant real estate locations.

We estimate cost synergies of approximately $2.4$24.8 million related to the Acton and TysonModSpace acquisitions were realized duringin the quarternine months ended September 30, 2019, which compares to approximately $3.9 million of synergies realized for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, bringing cumulative synergies related to the Acton, Tyson, and ModSpace acquisitions from the dates of the acquisitions to approximately $31.2 million. This is consistent with our integration plans remain on track. Effective November 1, 2018, our combined sales organization began writing all new contracts (including those associated with legacy ModSpace assets) from WillScot's operating and information technology platform. Exitwe expect these activities for redundant branch locations, such as preparing units and materials for transport to other locations remain on schedule. These activities are expected to continue through 2019 andas we expect additionalcontinue our efforts to achieve expected annual recurring cost savings as we execute the establishedof over $70.0 million once our integration plans for Actonare fully executed and ModSpace. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $7.6 million in corporate & other related to Algeco Group costs no longer included in our operations.results.
Other Depreciation and Amortization: Other depreciation and amortization increased $2.2 million, or 28.6%, to $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was driven primarily by depreciation on property, plant and equipment and amortization of the trade name acquired as part of the ModSpace acquisition in the third quarter of 2018.

Impairment Losses on Long-Lived Assets:
Impairment losses on long-lived assets were $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $0.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we reclassified certain branch facilities that we intend to exit from property, plant and equipment to held for sale, and recognized an impairment on these assets because the carrying value of the facilities exceeded the estimated fair value less cost to sell. Additionally, one of the properties exited during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was acquired as part of the ModSpace acquisition and had a favorable lease intangible. As a result of the exit of this property, the remaining net book value of the favorable lease intangible was deemed impaired, resulting in an impairment charge of $2.4 million.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
Revenue: Total revenue increased $168.4 million, or 51.7%, to $494.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $325.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily the result of a 56.4% increase in leasing and services revenue driven by improved pricing and volumes. Average modular space monthly rental rates increased 4.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and average modular space units on rent increased 20,047 units, or 49.3%. Improved pricing was driven by a combination of our price optimization tools and processes, as well as by continued growth in our “Ready to Work” solutions and increased VAPS penetration across our customer base, offset partially by the average modular space monthly rental rates on acquired units for Acton, Tyson, and ModSpace. Improved volumes were driven by units acquired as part of the Acton, Tyson, and ModSpace acquisitions and organic unit on rent growth, as well as increased modular delivery and installation revenues on the combined rental fleet of 56.8%. The increase in leasing and services revenues was further complemented by an increase of $9.1 million, or 37.1% in new unit sales as compared to the same period in 2017 primarily driven by a single large sale project in the third quarter within the US. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in rental unit sales of $1.4 million, or 8.1% in rental unit sales as compared to the same period in 2017.
On a pro-forma basis, including results of WillScot, Acton, Tyson, and ModSpace for all periods presented, total revenues increased $67.3 million, or 9.1%, year-over-year for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Increases were driven by core leasing and services revenues as a result a of a 10.6% increase in average modular space monthly rental rates and a 0.7% increase in average modular space units of rent, and due to increased new sales.
Total average units on rent for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were 75,079 and 53,279, respectively. The increase was due to units acquired as part of the Acton, Tyson, and ModSpace acquisitions and organic improvements in modular space average units on rent, with modular space average units on rent increased by 20,047 units, or 49.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Modular space average monthly rental rates increased 4.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Portable storage average units on rent increasing by 1,753 units, or 13.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Average portable storage monthly rental rates increased 7.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The average modular space unit utilization rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 70.1%, as compared to 69.8% during the same period in 2017. The increase in average modular space utilization rate was driven by improvement in the modular space average units on rent in the Modular - Other North America business segment. The average portable storage unit utilization rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 68.3%, as compared to 71.4% during the same period in 2017. The decrease in average portable storage utilization rate was driven by organic declines in the number of portable storage average units on rent in the Modular - US segment.
Gross Profit: Our gross profit percentage was 38.8% and 36.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Our gross profit percentage, excluding the effects of depreciation, was 55.0% and 53.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Gross profit increased $67.7 million, or 57.0%, to $186.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $118.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in gross profit is a result of a $95.3 million increase in modular leasing gross profit and increased new unit and rental unit gross profit of $2.0 million. Increases in modular leasing and services gross profit were primarily as a result of increased revenues due to additional units on rent as a result of recent acquisitions as well as increased margins due to favorable average monthly rental rates on modular space units. These increases were partially offset by increased depreciation of $29.6 million as a result of additional rental equipment acquired as part of the Acton, Tyson, and ModSpace acquisitions, as well as continued capital investment in our existing rental equipment.
Selling, General and Administrative: SG&A expenses increased $64.3 million, or 64.0%, to $164.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $100.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. $25.8 million of the SG&A expenses increase was driven by discrete items including increased transaction costs of $8.7 million related to the ModSpace acquisition and increased integration costs of $14.9 million related to the Acton and ModSpace integrations. Additionally, stock compensation expense increased by $2.2 million due to grants of stock options, RSAs and RSUs to certain employees in the first quarter of 2018. The remaining increases of $38.5 million are primarily related to $8.6 million of increased public company costs including outside professional fees, and increased headcount, occupancy, and other SG&A cost increases as a result of operating a larger operation as a result of our recent acquisitions and our expanded employee base and branch network. We estimate cost synergies of approximately $3.9 million related to the Acton and Tyson acquisitions have been realized year to date as of the third quarter and our integration plans remain on track. Effective November 1, 2018, we began delivering all units acquired from ModSpace under a combined operating and information technology platform. Exit activities for redundant branch locations, such as preparing units and materials for transport to other locations remain on schedule. These activities are expected to continue through 2019 and we expect additional cost savings as we execute the established integration plans for Acton and ModSpace. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $15.7 million in corporate & other related to Algeco Group costs no longer included in our operations. 
Other Depreciation and Amortization: Other depreciation and amortization increased $2.0 million, or 35.1%, to $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was driven primarily by depreciation on property, plant and equipment acquired as part of the Acton
42



and ModSpace acquisitions in the first and third quarters, respectively.
Restructuring Costs: Restructuring costs were $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The 2018 restructuring charges relate primarily to employee termination and lease breakage costs related to the Acton and ModSpace acquisitions and integrations. The 2017 restructuring charges relate primarily to the Algeco Group corporate function and consist of employee termination costs.
Currency Losses (Gains), net: Currency losses (gains), net decreased by $14.0 million to a $1.2 million loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to a $12.8 million gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in currency losses (gains) was primarily attributable to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on loans and borrowings and intercompany receivables and payables denominated in a currency other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency. The majority of the intercompany receivables and payables contributing to these gains and losses were settled concurrently with the Carve-Out Transaction and Business Combination.
Other (Income) Expense, net: Other (income) expense, net was $5.0 million of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $1.6 million of other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in other (income) expense was driven by income from insurance proceeds related to assets damaged during Hurricane Harvey which contributed $4.8 million to other (income) expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased $17.4 million, or 20.5%, to $67.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $84.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Upon consummation of the Business Combination in November 2017, we issued the 2022 Secured Notes and entered into the ABL Facility to fund our operations as a stand-alone company. In the third quarter as part of financing the ModSpace acquisition, we upsized our ABL Facility to $1.425 billion, issued the 2023 Secured Notes, and issued the Unsecured Notes. In connection with the ModSpace acquisition, the Company incurred bridge financing fees and upfront commitment fees of $20.5 million in the third quarter, which are not expected to reoccur.
The majority of the interest costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 relate to the previous debt structure of the Company as part of the Algeco Group. The decrease in interest expense is driven by our lower average debt balance in 2018 under our new debt structure as compared to the Algeco Group debt structure in place in 2017, partially offset by bridge financing and upfront commitment fees of $20.5 million incurred in connection with the ModSpace acquisition. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt, and the additional debt incurred during the third quarter as part of financing the ModSpace acquisition, which we expect will increase our interest expense in future periods.
Interest Income: Interest income decreased $9.8 million, or 100.0%, to zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease is due to the decrease in the principal balance of notes due from affiliates, which were settled upon consummation of the Business Combination in November 2017.
Income Tax Benefit: Income tax benefit decreased $4.2 million to $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in income tax benefit was mainly due to a lower statutory income tax rate in the US partially offset by discrete tax benefits recorded at September 30, 2018 as compared to September 30, 2017.

Business Segment Results
Our principal line of business is modular leasing and sales. The Company formerly operated a Remote Accommodations Business, which was considered a single reportable segment. The Remote Accommodations Business was transferred to another entity included in the Algeco Group in connection with the Business Combination in November 2017 and is no longer a part of our business. Modular leasing and sales comprises two reportable segments: Modular - US and Modular - Other North America. The Modular - US reportable segment includes the contiguous 48 states and Hawaii, and the Modular - Other North America reportable segment includes Alaska, Canada and Mexico. The Acton and Tyson acquisitions are both included in the Modular - US segment, and ModSpace is included in both Modular segments as ModSpace operated in the United States and Canada. Corporate and other represents primarily SG&A related to the Algeco Group’s corporate costs, which were not incurred by WillScot in 2018. 
The following tables and discussion summarize our reportable segment financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017.2018. Future changes to our organizational structure may result in changes to the segments disclosed.

Modular - US Segment
Revenue: Total revenue increased $93.9$50.1 million, or 90.5%25.4%, to $247.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $197.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Modular leasing revenue increased $45.4 million, or 35.5%, driven by improved volumes and pricing. Average modular space units on rent increased 14,075 units, or 20.7%. Average modular space monthly rental rates increased 13.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Volumes improved as a result of units acquired as part of the ModSpace acquisition as well as increased modular delivery and installation revenues on the combined rental fleet of 34.0% due to an additional 1.5 months of contribution from the ModSpace acquisition in the third quarter of 2019. Improved pricing was driven by a combination of our price optimization tools and processes, as well as by continued growth in our “Ready to Work” solutions and increased VAPS penetration across our customer base, offset partially by the lower average modular space monthly rental rates on acquired units. The increases in leasing and services revenue were partially offset by decreases in sales revenues. New unit sales revenue decreased $8.4 million, or 43.8%, and rental unit sales revenue decreased $1.1 million, or 12.8%. These decreases were driven by large sales originating from ModSpace that were completed subsequent to the acquisition in the third quarter of 2018 that did not reoccur in 2019.
On a pro forma basis, including results of WillScot and ModSpace for all periods presented, total revenues decreased $25.9 million, or 9.5%, year-over-year for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This decline was driven by reduced new sales, which declined $33.6 million, or 75.8%, driven primarily by one large new unit sale recognized in 2018 in the amount of $26.3 million, and decreased rental unit sales, which declined $4.7 million, or 38.5%. The declines in sales volumes
41



were partially offset by increases in our core modular leasing revenues, which increased $12.9 million, or 8.0%, driven primarily by continued pricing improvement in the third quarter, with increases in pro forma average modular space monthly rental rates of $83, or 15.1%, year over year for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Modular space units on rent decreased 5.6% on a pro forma basis to 82,053 and pro forma utilization for our modular space units decreased to 73.2%, down 170 bps from $103.774.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Gross Profit: Gross profit increased $21.2 million, or 29.0%, to $94.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.2019 from $73.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in gross profit was driven by higher modular leasing and service revenues driven both by organic growth primarily from pricing and by an additional 1.5 months of contribution from the ModSpace acquisition in the third quarter of 2019, as well as due to increased modular space delivery and installation margins. Modular leasing and service gross profit increased $30.8 million, or 32.2%. The increase in gross profit from modular leasing and service revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in sales gross profit and a $7.6 million increase in depreciation of rental equipment primarily related to units acquired in the ModSpace acquisition, as well as continued capital investment in our existing rental equipment.
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA increased $22.0 million, or 37.7%, to $80.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $58.4 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was driven by higher modular leasing and services gross profits discussed above, partially offset by increases in SG&A, excluding discrete and other items, of $6.6 million. Discrete and other items within SG&A decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, by $11.2 million as decreases in transaction costs and integration cost related to the ModSpace and Acton acquisitions and integrations of $10.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, were partially offset by an increase in stock compensation expense of $0.8 million and a $1.6 million increase in other costs. Increases in SG&A, excluding discrete items, primarily related to increased employee costs of $3.1 million driven by the increased size of the workforce, net of realized employee cost synergies savings to date achieved as a result of the restructuring activities; and increased occupancy costs of $0.4 million largely due to the expansion of our branch network and storage lots, including a portion of the expected cost savings as we have now exited approximately 75% of redundant real estate locations. The remaining increases in SG&A of $3.1 million were primarily related to increased professional fees, insurance, computer, travel, office costs, bad debt and other expenses related to operating a larger business as a result of our recent acquisitions and our expanded employee base and branch network.
Capital Expenditures for Rental Equipment: Capital expenditures for rental equipment increased $2.0 million, or 4.7%, to $45.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $43.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Net capital expenditures for rental equipment also increased $2.3 million, or 6.7%, to $36.7 million. The increases for both were driven by increased spend for refurbishments and VAPS to drive revenue growth and for maintenance of a larger fleet following our recent acquisitions.
Modular - Other North America Segment
Revenue: Total revenue increased $3.3 million, or 15.5%, to $24.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $21.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Modular leasing revenue increased $61.4$4.1 million, or 92.2%29.9%, driven by improved volumes and pricing and volumes.in the quarter. Average modular space units on rent increased by 1,745 units, or 23.5%, due to an additional 1.5 months of contribution from the ModSpace acquisition in the third quarter of 2019. Average modular space monthly rental rates increased 3.1%5.3% driven by continued growth in our “Ready to Work” solutions and increased VAPS penetration across the combined post-acquisition customer base. Modular delivery and installation revenues increased $1.0 million, or 20.4%. New unit sales were $0.8 million and $1.7 million, and rental unit sales revenue was $0.1 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
On a pro forma basis, including results of WillScot and ModSpace for all periods presented, total revenues decreased $2.4 million, or 8.9%, year-over-year for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This decline was driven by reduced new and rental unit sales, which declined $1.1 million, or 57.9%, and $1.6 million, or 94.1%, respectively as a result of our focus on the core leasing business. The declines in sales volumes were partially offset by increases in our core modular leasing revenues, which increased $1.1 million, or 6.5%, driven primarily by continued pricing improvement in the third quarter, with increases in pro forma average modular space monthly rental rates of $37, or 6.4%, year-over-year for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Modular space units on rent decreased 0.8% on a pro forma basis to 9,180 and pro forma utilization for our modular space units increased to 57.2%, up 40 bps from 56.8%, for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Gross Profit: Gross profit increased $1.3 million, or 16.5%, to $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $7.9 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The effects of favorable foreign currency movements increased gross profit by less than $0.1 million related to changes in the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso in relation to the US dollar. The increase in gross profit, excluding the effects of foreign currency, was driven primarily by increased leasing and services revenues and margins as a result of higher modular space units on rent and average monthly rental rates, partially offset by reduced new and rental unit sales gross profit and by increased depreciation of rental equipment of $0.7 million for three months ended September 30, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.8 million, or 29.0%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was driven by increased leasing and services gross profit as a result of increased modular space volumes and average monthly rental rates, partially offset by decreased new and rental unit sales gross profit. Additionally, SG&A, excluding discrete and other items, increased $0.2 million, also driven by the ModSpace acquisition, consisting primarily of increased occupancy costs of $0.2 million.
Capital Expenditures for Rental Equipment: Capital expenditures for rental equipment decreased $0.9 million, or 24.3%, to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was driven by reduced spend due to increased unit selection afforded by the larger fleet following the ModSpace acquisition, partially offset by increased spending on VAPS to drive revenue growth. Net capital expenditures of $2.7 million remained flat to the prior year.

The increase was driven by higher modular leasing and services gross profits discussed above, partially offset by increases in SG&A, excluding discrete and other items, of $15.5$45.9 million. Discrete and other items within SG&A decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, by $4.1 million as decreases in transaction costs related to the ModSpace, Acton, and Tyson acquisitions of which $2.4$14.6 million represents public companywere partially offset by increases in integration cost of $5.8 million, an increase in stock compensation expense of $2.8 million, and a $2.0 million increase in other costs. Increases in SG&A, excluding discrete items, primarily relate to increased employee costs including outside professional fees. The majorityof $21.5 million driven by the increased size of the remaining increase was driven by increased headcount, occupancy, and other SG&Aworkforce, net of realized employee cost increasessynergies savings to date achieved as a result of the restructuring activities; and increased occupancy costs of $6.4 million largely due to the expansion of our branch network and storage lots, including a portion of the expected cost savings as we have now exited approximately 75% of redundant real estate locations. The remaining increases of $18.0 million are primarily related to increased professional fees, insurance, computer, travel, office costs, bad debt and other expenses related to operating a larger operationbusiness as a result of our recent acquisitions and our expanded employee base and branch network.
Capital Expenditures for Rental Equipment: Capital expenditures for rental equipment increased $18.9$48.6 million, or 78.4%46.5%, to $43.0$153.1 million for the threenine months ended September 30, 20182019 from $24.1$104.5 million for the threenine months ended September 30, 2017.2018. Net capital expenditures for rental equipment also increased $16.2$46.0 million, or 89.0%54.4%, to $34.4$130.5 million. The increases for both were driven by increased spend for refurbishments new fleet, and VAPS to drive revenue growth and for maintenance of a larger fleet following our Acton, Tyson, and ModSpacerecent acquisitions.

Revenue: Total revenue increased $8.6$25.9 million, or 67.7%52.3%, to $21.3$75.4 million for the threenine months ended September 30, 20182019 from $12.7$49.5 million for the threenine months ended September 30, 2017.2018. Modular leasing revenue increased $4.8$17.0 million, or 53.9%51.2%, driven by improved pricingvolumes and volumespricing in the quarter. Average modular space monthly rental rates increased 9.5% and average modular space units on rent increased by 2,1542,870 units, or 40.8%46.7%, for the period, resulting in a higherand average modular space utilization whichmonthly rental rates increased 4.2%. Improved volumes were driven by 320 bps. Improvedunits acquired as part of the ModSpace acquisition and improved pricing was driven by a combination of our price optimization tools and processes, as well as byprimarily through continued growth in our “Ready to Work” solutions and increased VAPS penetration across ourthe combined post-acquisition customer base, further lifted by the average modular space monthly rental rates on acquired ModSpace units in Canada. Improved volumes were driven by units acquired as part of the ModSpace acquisition.base. Modular delivery and installation revenues increased $2.4$2.1 million, or 96.0%, new18.6%.

The increase in modular delivery and installation revenues was primarily driven by the ModSpace acquisition.acquisition and our larger post-acquisition sales team and fleet size. The increase in rental unit sales revenue was primarily driven by several large rental unit sale projects in the first half of 2019.
On a pro-formapro forma basis, including results of the WillScot and ModSpace for all periods presented, pricing improvement continuedtotal revenues decreased $5.1 million, or 6.3%, year-over-year for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decline was driven by reduced modular delivery and installation revenues and reduced new unit sales, which declined $6.3 million, or 32.0%, and $2.3 million, or 44.2%, respectively. The decline in modular delivery and installation revenues was driven by several large projects that began or were completed during the third quarter,prior year and resulted in large delivery and installation revenues. These declines were partially offset by increases in rental unit sales of $3.3 million, or 58.9%. Core modular leasing revenues increased $0.3 million, or 0.6%, with increases in pro-formapro forma average modular space monthly rental rates of $5,$22, or 0.9%3.9%, for the threenine months ended September 30, 2018.

Modular leasing revenue increased $114.2 million, or 59.3%, driven by improved pricing and volumes. Average modular space monthly rental rates increased 4.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and average modular space units on rent increased 18,913 units, or 53.0%. Improved pricing was driven by a combination of our price optimization tools and processes, as well as by continued growth in our “Ready to Work” solutions and increased VAPS penetration across our customer base, offset partially by the average modular space monthly rental rates on acquired units. Improved volumes were driven by units acquired as part of the Acton, Tyson, and ModSpace acquisitions and organic unit on rent growth, as well as increased modular delivery and installation revenues on the combined rental fleet of 54.0%. The increases in leasing and services revenue were further complemented by increases in sales revenues. New unit sales revenue increased $8.6 million, or 39.8% and rental unit sales revenue decreased slightly by $0.3 million, or 2.1%. The increase year-over-year in new sales was primarily driven by a single large sale project in the third quarter.

The increase was driven by higher modular leasing and services gross profits discussed above, as well as a gain recognized from the receipt of insurance proceeds related to assets damaged during Hurricane Harvey of $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. These increases were partially offset by increases in SG&A, excluding discrete items, of $24.7 million, of which $8.6 million represents public company costs including outside professional fees. The majority of the remaining increase was driven by increased headcount, occupancy, and other SG&A cost increases as a result of operating a larger operation as a result of our recent acquisitions and our expanded employee base and branch network.

Modular leasing revenue increased $8.2 million, or 32.7%, driven by improved pricing and volumes. Average modular space monthly rental rates increased 6.8% and average modular space units on rent increased by 1,134 units, or 22.6% for the period driven by organic unit on rent growth as well as due to the ModSpace acquisition in the third quarter. Both of these resulted in a higher modular space utilization which increased by 600 bps. Modular delivery and installation revenues increased $5.2 million, or 85.2%, due primarily to a large camp installation during the second quarter and due to increased deliveries and returns as a result of the ModSpace acquisition. New unit sales revenue increased $0.5 million, or 17.2% and rental unit sales revenue decreased $1.1 million, or 40.7% associated with decreased sale opportunities.

Other Non-GAAP Financial Data and Reconciliations
We use certain non-GAAP financial information that we believe is important for purposes of comparison to prior periods and development of future projections and earnings growth prospects. This information is also used by management to measure the profitability of our ongoing operations and analyze our business performance and trends.
We evaluate business segment performance on Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain items as described in the reconciliation of our consolidated net lossincome (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation below. We believe that evaluating segment performance excluding such items is meaningful because it provides insight with respect to intrinsic operating results of the Company.
We also regularly evaluate gross profit by segment to assist in the assessment of the operational performance of each operating segment. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be the more important metric because it more fully captures the business performance of the segments, inclusive of indirect costs.
Management also evaluates Free Cash Flow as defined in Item 2, Liquidity and Capital Resources, as it provides useful additional information concerning cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest (income) expense, income tax expense (benefit),benefit, depreciation and amortization. Our Adjusted EBITDA reflects the following further adjustments to EBITDA to exclude certain non-cash items and the effect of what we consider transactions or events not related to our core business operations:
Currency losses (gains) losses,, net: on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency. Substantially all such currency gains (losses)losses (gains) are unrealized and attributable to financings due to and from affiliated companies.
GoodwillNon-cash impairment charges associated with goodwill and other impairment charges related to non-cash costs associated with impairment charges to goodwill, other intangibles, rental fleet and property, plant and equipment.long-lived assets.
Restructuring costs associated with restructuring plans designed to streamline operations and reduce costs including employee and lease termination costs.
Transaction costs including legal and professional fees and other transaction specific related costs.
Costs to integrate acquired companies, including outside professional fees, fleet relocation expenses, employee training costs and other costs.
Non-cash charges for stock compensation plans.
Other expense includes consulting expenses related to certain one-time projects, financing costs not classified as interest expense and gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider the measure in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow from operations or other methods of analyzing WillScot’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for our working capital needs;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
45



Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

48



Adjusted EBITDA
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to reinvest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to meet our obligations.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage
We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit plus depreciation on rental equipment. Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by revenue. Adjusted Gross Profit and Percentage are not a measurementmeasurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit, gross profit percentage, or other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our measurement of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Percentage provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it assists in analyzing the performance of our business.

Adjusted EBITDA less Net CAPEX
We define Adjusted EBITDA less Net CAPEX as Adjusted EBITDA less the gross profit on sale of rental units, less Net Capital Expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA less Net CAPEX is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our measurement of Adjusted EBITDA less Net CAPEX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Our management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA less Net CAPEX provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it assists in analyzing the performance of our business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
WillScot is a holding company that derives all of its operating cash flow from its operating subsidiaries. Our principal sources of liquidity include cash generated by operating activities from our subsidiaries, credit facilitiesborrowings under the ABL Facility, and sales of equity and debt securities. We believe that our liquidity sources and operating cash flows are sufficient to address our future operating, debt service and capital requirements.requirements over the next twelve months.
Our consolidation strategy includes the pursuit of strategic acquisitions that we believe will add value to our existing business. We continue to review available acquisition opportunities with the awareness that any such acquisition may fromrequire us to incur additional debt to finance the acquisition and/or to issue shares of our Class A common stock or other equity securities as acquisition consideration or as part of an overall financing plan. From time to time we may also seek to retirestreamline our capital structure and improve our financial position through refinancing or purchaserestructuring our warrants throughexisting debt or retiring certain of our securities for cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, exchange offers or otherwise. Any such transactions will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.consideration.
ABL Facility 
On November 29, 2017, WS Holdings, WSII and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the ABL Facility with an aggregate principal amount of up to $600.0 million.
54



In July and August 2018, the Company entered into three amendments (the "ABL Amendments") to the ABL Facility that, among other things, (i) permitted the ModSpace acquisition and the Company’s financing thereof, (ii) increased the ABL Facility limit to $1.425 billion in the aggregate, with an accordion feature allowing up to $1.8 billion of capacity, and (iii) increased certain thresholds, basket sizes andand default and notice triggers to account for the Company’s increased scale following the ModSpace Acquisition.
Borrowings under the ABL Facility, at the Borrower’s option, bear interest at either an adjusted LIBOR or a base rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin. At inception of the ABL Facility until March 31, 2018, the applicable margin was fixed at 2.50% for LIBOR borrowings and 1.50% for base rate borrowings. Commencing on March 31, 2018, the applicable margins are subject to one step-down of 0.25% or one step-up of 0.25%, based on excess availability levels with respect to the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility requires the payment of an annual commitment fee on the unused available borrowings of between 0.375% and 0.5% per annum. At September 30, 2018, the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the ABL Facility was 4.65%.
The ABL Facility requires the Borrowers to maintain a (i) minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.00:1.00 and (ii) maximum total net leverage ratio of 5.50:1.00, in each case, at any time when the excess availability under the amended ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) $135.0 million and (b) an amount equal to 10% of the Line Cap.
At September 30, 2018,2019, the Borrowers had $552.9$489.2 million of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility, including $414.5$354.8 million under the US ABL Facility and $138.4$134.4 million under the Canadian ABL Facility.
2022 Senior Secured Notes 
On November, 29, 2017, WSII issued the 2022 Secured Notes with a $300.0 million aggregate principal amount that bear interest at 7.875% and mature on December 15, 2022. The net proceeds, along with other funding obtained in connection with the Business Combination, were used to repay $669.5 million outstanding under WSII’s former credit facility, to repay $226.3 million of notes due to affiliates and related accrued interest, and to pay $125.7 million of the cash consideration paid for 100% of the outstanding equity of WSII. Interest on the 2022 Secured Notes is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 beginning June 15, 2018.
2023 Senior Secured Notes
On August 6, 2018, a special purpose subsidiary of WSII completed a private offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% senior secured notes due August 15, 2023. The issuer entered into an indenture dated August 6, 2018 with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, which governs the terms of the 2023 Secured Notes. In connection with the ModSpace acquisition, the issuer merged with and into WSII and WSII assumed the 2023 Secured Notes. Interest is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning February 15, 2019. The net proceeds were used to fund the ModSpace acquisition.
2023 Senior Unsecured Notes
On August 3, 2018, a special purpose subsidiary of WSII completed a private offering of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its senior unsecured notes due November 15, 2023 (the “Unsecured Notes”). The issuer entered into an indenture with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the “Unsecured Notes Indenture”), which governs the terms and conditions of the Unsecured Notes. In connection with the ModSpace acquisition, the issuer merged with and into WSII and WSII assumed the Unsecured Notes.
The Unsecured Notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum if paid in cash (or if paid in kind, 11.5% per annum) for any interest period ending on or before February 15, 2021, and thereafter are payable solely in cash at an increased rate per annum of 12.5%. Interest is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning February 15, 2019. The net proceeds were used to fund the ModSpace acquisition.
Cash Flow Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017 2018

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash providedprovided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 was $15.6$99.1 million as compared to $46.9$15.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, an increase of $83.5 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $108.9 million of net income, adjusted for non-cash items, during 2019 compared to 2018 due to the impact of the ModSpace acquisition on revenue and gross profit, which is reflected in the first nine months of 2019, but is only included for a month and a half in 2018. The increase in net income, adjusted for non-cash items, was partially offset by a decrease of $31.3 million.$25.4 million in the net movements of the operating assets and liabilities. The reductiondecrease related to the operating assets and liabilities was attributable to an increase in accounts receivable and an increase in cash providedinterest payments in the

The increasedecrease in cash used in investing activities was principally the result of the acquisitions of Tyson and ModSpace for cash consideration of $24.0 million and $1,060.1 million during 2018. Additionally, cash used for rental equipment expenditures increased $29.2 million driven primarily by strategic investment in refurbishment of existing fleet, purchase of VAPS, and new fleet purchases to maintain and grow units on rent. The increase in cash used was partially offset by a $69.9$1,084.1 million decrease in cash used for business acquisitions, a $9.9 million increase in lendingproceeds from the sale of rental equipment, and a $12.5 million increase in proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment. The decrease in cash used in business acquisitions was due to affiliates. Inthe acquisition of Acton and ModSpace in the first nine months of 2018 we did not engage in any lending activitieswith no business acquisitions during the same period of 2019. Proceeds from the sale of rental equipment increased due to increased sales volume as a result of the notes dueacquisition of ModSpace. Proceeds from affiliates were settledthe sale of property, plant and equipment increased primarily as a result of the sale of seven held for sale properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as part of the Business Combination.ongoing integration and consolidation process following the acquisition of ModSpace.
The overall decrease in cash used in investing activities was partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures of $52.9 million in 2019 that was primarily a result of increased refurbishments of existing fleet, following our recent acquisitions, and purchases of VAPS to drive revenue growth.

Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of, and proceeds from, rental equipment and property, plant and equipment, which are all included in cash flows from investing activities. Management believes that the presentation of Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because it provides useful additional information concerning cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements. The following table provides a $24.2reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flows for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, are derived by subtracting the cash flows from operating activities and the relevant line items within financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, from corresponding items for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. GAAP requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we consider reasonable under the circumstances, and reevaluate our estimates and judgments as appropriate. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2017 Form 10-K. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) suggests companies provide additional disclosure on those accounting policies considered most critical. The SEC considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to our financial condition and results of operations and requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management in its application. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we have provided an additional disclosure on

our stock-based compensation policies as described in Note 12 of this Form 10-Q and regarding our goodwill policy and estimates below. For a complete discussion of our significant critical accounting policies, see the “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section of the MD&A in our 2017 Form 10-K.
Goodwill
We perform our annual goodwill impairment test on October 1. In addition, we perform qualitative impairment tests during any reporting period in which events or changes in circumstances quantitatively indicate that impairment may have occurred. Management judgment is a significant factor in the goodwill impairment evaluation process. The computations require management to make estimates and assumptions. Actual values may differ significantly from these assumptions, particularly if there are significant adverse changes in the operating environmentPart II, Item 7 of our reporting units.Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
In assessing the fair valueOther than adoption of reporting units, we consider the market approach, the income approach, or a combination of both. Under the market approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on quoted market prices of companies comparablerecent accounting standards as discussed in Note 1 to the reporting unit being valued. Whilenotes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the market prices are not an assumption, a presumption that they provide an indicator of the value of the reporting unit is inherent in the valuation. The initial determination of the comparable companies also involves a degree of judgment.
Under the income approach, the fair value of the reporting unit is based on the present value of estimated cash flows. The income approach relies on the timing and estimates of future cash flows, which are based on management’s estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period, including growth rates in revenue, operating margins, capital expenditures and tax rates. The cash flows are based on our most recent business operating plans and various growth rates have been assumed for years beyond the current business plan period. The income approach also relies upon the selection of an appropriate discount rate, which is based on a weighted-average cost of capital analysis. The discount rate is affected by changes in short-term interest rates and long-term yield, as well as by variances in the typical capital structure of marketplace participants. Given current economic conditions, it is possible that the discount rate will fluctuate in the near term.
On August 15, 2018 the Company completed its acquisition of ModSpace. The Company has performed a preliminary allocation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as well an allocation of net assets, including goodwill, amongst its reporting units. As of September 30, 2018 the Company has allocated $203.3 million and $32.5 million of goodwill to the US and Canadian reporting units, respectively. For the quarternine months ended September 30, 2018 the Company completed its interim review for impairment indicators for all reporting units, identifying no events or changes in circumstances that indicate an impairment may have occurred. The Company will perform its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1, 2018. While no indicators of impairment are currently present, due to Company’s historical impairment activity associated with its Canadian reporting unit, it is possible that the annual impairment test may indicate a need to write down the preliminary goodwill balance allocated to the Canadian reporting unit.2019.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There have been no significantWe are exposed to certain market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Changes in these factors cause fluctuations in our earnings and cash flows. We evaluate and manage exposure to these market risks as follows:
Interest Rate Risk
We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk through our marketABL Facility, which bears interest at variable rates based on LIBOR. We had $917.5 million in outstanding principal under the ABL Facility at September 30, 2019.
In order to manage this risk, since December 31, 2017. ForOn November 6, 2018, WSII entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converts $400.0 million in aggregate notional amount of variable-rate debt under our ABL Facility into fixed-rate debt. The swap agreement provides for WillScot to pay a discussionfixed rate of 3.06% per annum on the outstanding debt in exchange for receiving a variable interest rate based on 1-month LIBOR. The effect is a synthetically fixed rate of 5.56% on the $400.0 million notional amount, when including the current applicable margin.
An increase in interest rates by 100 basis points on our ABL Facility, inclusive of the impact of our exposureinterest rate swaps, would increase our quarter to market risk, referdate interest expense by approximately $1.1 million.
Foreign Currency Risk
We currently generate the majority of our consolidated net revenues in the US, and the reporting currency for our consolidated financial statements is the US dollar. As our net revenues and expenses generated outside of the US increase, our results of operations could be adversely impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Since we recognize foreign revenues in local foreign currencies, if the US dollar strengthens, it could have a negative impact on our foreign revenues upon translation of those results into the US dollar for consolidation into our financial statements.
In addition, we are exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on transactions generated by our Annual Reportforeign subsidiaries in currencies other than their local currencies. These gains and losses are primarily driven by intercompany transactions and rental equipment purchases denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the purchasing entity. These exposures are included in currency (gains) losses, net, on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.condensed consolidated statements of operations.
To date, we have not entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervisionOur management, with participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, ofhas evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (asas defined in RulesRule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act)Act, as of September 30, 2018.2019. Based upon theirthat evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2018, due to the existence of previously reported material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Notwithstanding a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, our management concluded that our condensed consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods presented, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Description of Material Weakness as of December 31, 2017
As disclosed in further detail in “Part II - Item 9A - Controls and Procedures” of the 2017 Annual Report, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting - specifically, ineffective controls over accounting for income taxes and reverse acquisition accounting. These control deficiencies resulted in numerous adjustments and disclosures that were corrected prior to the issuance of our 2017 financial statements.
Remediation Plans
During our third quarter ended September 30, 2018, we continued to implement a remediation plan that addresses the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting through the following actions:
• Increased involvement on a quarterly basis of our third-party consultants dedicated to determining the appropriate accounting for material and complex tax and unique business transactions;
• Review of the tax accounting process to identify and implement enhanced processes and related internal control review procedures; and
• Adding additional review controls to approve complex accounting and related calculations.
58



Under the direction of the Audit Committee, management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of the Company’s internal control environment, as well as policies and procedures to improve the overall effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.
We believe the measures described above will remediate the control deficiencies identified and will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. As management continues to evaluate and work to improve internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify, or in appropriate circumstances not to complete, certain of the remediation measures described above. These controls must be in place and operating effectively for a sufficient period of time in order to validate the full remediation of the material weaknesses. We expect that the remediation of the material weaknesses will be complete as of December 31, 2018.2019.
Changes in Internal Controls
As discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company completed its acquisitions in December 2017, January 2018 and August 2018, respectively. During the first and second quarters of 2018, we transitioned all of the business processes of Tyson and Acton, respectively, onto our existing platforms. We are continuing to integrate Acton and Tyson into our existing control procedures, but we do not expect changes to significantly affect our internal control over financial reporting. As permitted by interpretive guidance for newly acquired businesses issued by the SEC Staff, management has excluded the internal control over financial reporting of ModSpace from the evaluation of the Company's effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018. Since the date of acquisition on August 15, 2018, ModSpace's financial results are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and constituted approximately $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion of total and net assets, respectively, as of September 30, 2018, and $65.5 million and $4.2 million of net revenues and net income, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2018. As part of our post-closing integration activities, we are engaged in the process of assessing the internal controls of ModSpace. The Company has begun to integrate policies, processes, people, technology and operations for the post-acquisition combined company, and it will continue to evaluate the impact of any related changes to internal control over financial reporting.
Other than the items discussed above, thereThere were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our quarter ended September 30, 20182019, that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters involve, among other things, disputes with vendors or customers, personnel and employment matters, and personal injury. We assess these matters on a case-by-case basis as they arise and establish reserves as required. 
As of September 30, 2018,2019, there were no material pending legal proceedings in which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party or to which any of our property is subject.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
AsThe Company’s financial position, results of September 30,operations and cash flows are subject to various risks, many of which are not exclusively within the Company’s control, which may cause actual performance to differ materially from historical or projected future performance. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, therewhich have been nonot materially changed other than as reflected below.
Trade policies and changes in trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs, their enforcement and downstream consequences, may have a material updatesadverse impact on our business, results of operations, and outlook.
Tariffs and/or other developments with respect to trade policies, trade agreements, and government regulations could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, the United States government has imposed tariffs on steel, aluminum and lumber imports from certain countries, which could result in increased costs to the Company for these materials. Without limitation, (i) tariffs currently in place and (ii) the imposition by the federal government of new tariffs on imports to the United States could materially increase (a) the cost of our products that we are offering for sale or lease, (b) the cost of certain products that we source from foreign manufacturers, and (c) the cost of certain raw materials or products that we utilize. We may not be able to pass such increased costs on to our risk factors since those described incustomers, and we may not be able to secure sources of certain products and materials that are not subject to tariffs on a timely basis. Although we actively monitor our Risk Factor inprocurement policies and practices to avoid undue reliance on foreign-sourced goods subject to tariffs, when practicable, such developments could have a material adverse impact on our Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2018 as filed with the SEC.business, financial condition and results of operations.
