Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains statements that, to the extent they are not recitations of historical fact, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws, and are based on our current expectations and assumptions. Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. The words “anticipates,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements are not intended to guarantee future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially due to factors such as:
These are only some of the factors that may affect the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. For a discussion identifying additional important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, see our filings with the SEC including, but not limited to, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of their initial issuance, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

ALTA EQUIPMENT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise indicated)
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Nature of Operations
Alta Equipment Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Alta” or the “Company”) are engaged in the sale, service, and rental of material handling, construction, and environmental processing equipment in the states of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York (including New York City in our Material Handling segment), Virginia, Massachusetts (including Boston), Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Nevada, and Florida as well as the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario. Unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the terms “the Company”, “we”, “us,” and “our” in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements refers to Alta Equipment Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no significant changes to those accounting policies.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with estimates, actual results may differ.
New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2023
Financial Instruments — Credit Losses
On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("Topic 326"). This standard prescribes an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, we recognize an allowance for our estimate of expected credit losses over the entire contractual term of our trade receivables from revenue transactions, except those arising from rental revenues, from the date of initial recognition of the financial instrument. Estimates of expected credit losses over their contractual life are recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The adoption of Topic 326 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures or our existing internal controls as our non-rental accounts receivable are of short duration and there is not a material difference between incurred losses and expected losses.
NOTE 3 — REVENUE RECOGNITION
We recognize revenue in accordance with two different accounting standards: 1) Topic 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606") and 2) Topic 842, Leases, ("Topic 842").

The Company believes that the disaggregation of revenues from contracts to customers as summarized above, together with the discussion below, depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. See Note 18, Segments, for further information.
Leases revenues (Topic 842)
New and used equipment sales: The Company enters into various equipment sale transactions with certain customers, whereby customers purchase equipment from the Company and then lease the equipment to a third party. In some cases, the Company provides a guarantee to repurchase the equipment back at the end of the lease term between the customer and third-party lessee at a stated residual amount set forth in the initial sales contract or to pay the customer for the deficiency, if any, between the sale proceeds received for the equipment and the guaranteed minimum resale value. The Company is precluded from recognizing a sale of equipment when it is obligated or has an option to repurchase or guarantees the resale value of the equipment to the customer for contracts determined to be operating leases. For these arrangements, because the Company generally receives the full amount of the consideration at the beginning of the arrangement, the Company initially records deferred revenue for the amount received which represents the net proceeds upon the equipment’s initial transfer. These amounts, excluding the guaranteed residual value, are recognized into rental revenue on a pro-rata basis over the lease contract period up to the first exercise date of the guarantee under Topic 842. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total deferred revenue relating to these various equipment sale transactions amounted to $2.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The Company also recognized a liability for its guarantee to repurchase equipment at residual amounts of $6.5 million and $7.0 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Rental revenue: Owned equipment rentals represent revenues from renting equipment. The Company accounts for these rental contracts as operating leases. The Company recognizes revenue from equipment rentals in the period earned, regardless of the timing of billing to customers. A rental contract includes rates for daily, weekly or monthly use, and rental revenues are earned on a daily basis as rental contracts remain outstanding. Because the rental contracts can extend across multiple reporting periods, the Company records unbilled rental revenues and deferred rental revenues at the end of each reporting period. Unbilled rental revenues are included as a component of “Accounts receivable, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rental equipment is also purchased outright (“rental conversions”). Rental revenue and revenue attributable to rental conversions are recognized in “Rental revenue” and “Rental equipment sales” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively.
Revenues from contracts with customers (Topic 606)
Accounting for the different types of revenues pursuant to Topic 606 is discussed below. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues under Topic 606 are recognized at a point in time rather than over time.
9
New and used equipment sales: With the exception of bill-and-hold arrangements and project-based revenues, the Company’s revenues from the sale of new and used equipment are recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the promised good(s). Under bill-and-hold arrangements, revenue is recognized when all configuration work is complete and the equipment has been set aside for final shipment, at which point the Company has determined control has been transferred. The bill-and-hold arrangements primarily apply to sales when physical shipment of heavy equipment to the customer is prohibited by law (e.g. frost laws) or requested by the customer due to their inability to arrange freight simultaneous to the satisfaction of the performance obligations, both are limited circumstances. The customer equipment sold under a bill-and-hold arrangement is physically separated from Company inventory and that equipment cannot be used by the Company or sold to another customer. Revenue recognized from bill-and-hold agreements totaled $6.8 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company does not offer material rights of return.
Project-based revenues, as referred to herein, are contracts with customers where the Company provides design and build solutions, automated equipment installation and system integration and installation and set-up of warehouse management systems and related hardware and software support services. This revenue is recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied over time using the cost-to-cost input method, based on contract costs incurred to date to total estimated contract costs. The Company recognizes deferred revenue with respect to automated equipment installation and system integration services and related software and hardware. The Company recognized $23.1 million and $16.7 million in project-based revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Parts sales: Revenues from the sale of parts are recognized at the time of pick-up by the customer for over-the-counter sales transactions. For parts that are shipped to a customer, the Company elected to use a practical expedient of Topic 606 and treat such shipping activities as fulfillment costs, thereby recognizing revenues at the time of shipment. The Company does not offer material rights of return.
Service revenue: The Company records service revenue primarily from guaranteed and periodic maintenance contracts with customers. The Company recognizes periodic maintenance service revenues at the time such services are completed, which is when the control of the promised services is transferred over to the customer. The Company recognizes guaranteed maintenance service revenues over-time using an input method of costs incurred to estimated costs over the life of the related contract, typically three to five years. Revenue recognized from guaranteed maintenance contracts totaled $6.3 million and $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company also records service revenue from warranty contracts whereby the Company performs service on behalf of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) or third-party warranty provider.
Rental equipment sales: The Company also sells rental equipment from our rental fleet. These sales are recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the promised good(s). In some cases, certain rental agreements contain a rental purchase option, whereby the customer has an option to purchase the rented equipment during the term of the rental agreement. Revenues from the sale of rental equipment are recognized at the time the rental purchase option agreement has been approved and signed by both parties, as the equipment is already in the customer’s possession under the previous rental agreement, and therefore control has been transferred as title has been transferred.
Contract costs
The Company does not recognize assets associated with the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer that the Company expects to recover (for example, a sales commission). Most of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time or over a period of one year or less, and the Company has used the practical expedient that allows it to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. The amount of the costs associated with the revenue recognized over a period of greater than one year is insignificant.
Receivables and contract assets and liabilities
The Company has contract assets and contract liabilities associated with project-based contracts with customers.
Contract assets are fulfilled contractual obligations prior to receivables being recognizable for project-based revenue. Contract assets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $5.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively.
Revenue from recurring support services is recognized ratably over the contract period. The deferred revenue (contract liabilities) includes the unearned portion of project-based revenue, revenue related to guaranteed maintenance service contracts for customers covering equipment previously purchased and deferred revenue related to rental agreements. The deferred guaranteed maintenance amounts are recognized based on an estimated rate at which the services are provided over the life of the contract. Total deferred revenue relating to project-based revenue, service maintenance contracts and equipment rental agreements as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $14.8 million and $16.0 million, respectively. Deferred revenue also includes the net proceeds upon sale of equipment with certain guaranteed purchase obligations. In total, deferred revenue as of March 31, 2023 and December 31,
10
2022 was $17.5 million and $19.0 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $7.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, from the prior year ending deferred revenue balance.
We believe the concentration of credit risk with respect to our receivables is limited because our customer base is comprised of a large number of geographically diverse customers.
During the fourth quarter 2022, substantially all of the Company's operating facilities that were previously leased from four real estate entities related through common ownership were sold to an unrelated third party. The Company continues to lease those facilities, however the lessor is no longer a related party. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, total rent expense under related party lease agreements, all of which are classified as operating, was $1.2 million.
Our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and Chief Operating Officer ("COO") collectively own an indirect, non-controlling minority interest in OneH2, Inc. (“OneH2”), which they each acquired through various transactions that took place in early 2018 and prior. Our CEO is on the Board of Directors of OneH2. OneH2 is a privately held company that produces and delivers hydrogen fuel to end users. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company purchased $0.2 million of hydrogen fuel from OneH2. The Company paid OneH2 $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 in addition to $3.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022, as part of the Company's investment to build and commercialize its own hydrogen production plant which it expects to become operational in late 2023.

NOTE 9 — FLOOR PLANS
Floor Plan — First Lien Lender
On April 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Sixth Amended and Restated Floor Plan First Lien Credit Agreement ("Floor Plan Credit Agreement") by and among Alta Equipment Group, Inc. and the other credit parties named therein, and the lender JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Under the Floor Plan Credit Agreement, the Company has a first lien floor plan facility (the "First Lien Floor Plan Facility") with its first lien lender to primarily finance new inventory. In connection with the acquisition of the stock of Yale Industrial Trucks Inc. ("YIT"), on July 6, 2022 the Company amended its Floor Plan Credit Agreement to increase the maximum borrowing capacity by $10.0 million from $50.0 million to $60.0 million. The First Lien Floor Plan Facility has an expiration date of the earlier of (a) April 1, 2026, or (b) December 1, 2025 if the Notes (as hereinafter defined) remain outstanding on December 1, 2025. The interest cost for the First Lien Floor Plan Facility is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin. The First Lien Floor Plan Facility is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had an outstanding balance on our First Lien Floor Plan Facility of $59.6 million, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs. The effective interest rate at March 31, 2023 was 7.5%. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding balance on our First Lien Floor Plan Facility of $58.6 million, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs. The effective interest rate at December 31, 2022 was 7.0%. The Company routinely sells equipment that is financed under the First Lien Floor Plan Facility. When this occurs, the payable under the First Lien Floor Plan Facility related to the financed equipment being sold becomes due to be paid.
Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) Captive Lenders and Suppliers’ Floor Plans
The Company has floor plan financing facilities with several OEM captive lenders and suppliers (the “OEM Floor Plan Facilities”, and together with the First Lien Floor Plan Facility, collectively the “Floor Plan Facilities”) for new and used inventory and rental equipment, each with borrowing capacities ranging from $0.1 million to $135.0 million. Primarily, the Company utilizes the OEM Floor Plan Facilities for purchases of new equipment inventories. Certain OEM Floor Plan Facilities provide for up to twelve-months interest only or deferred payment periods. In addition, certain OEM Floor Plan Facilities regularly provide for interest and principal free payment terms. The Company routinely sells equipment that is financed under OEM Floor Plan Facilities. When this occurs, the payable under the OEM Floor Plan Facilities related to the financed equipment being sold becomes due to be paid.
With recent acquisitions, some of the Company’s OEM Floor Plan Facilities were amended to include new locations and new entities. The OEM Floor Plan Facilities are secured by the equipment being financed and contain certain operating company guarantees. The interest cost is SOFR plus an applicable margin. The effective rates, excluding the favorable effect of interest-free periods, as of March 31, 2023 ranged from 7.6% to 9.8%.

NOTE 10 — LONG-TERM DEBT
Line of Credit — First Lien Lender
On April 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Sixth Amended and Restated ABL First Lien Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement”) by and among Alta Equipment Group Inc. and the other credit parties named therein, the lenders named therein, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the syndication agents and documentation agent named therein, superseding and replacing the Fifth Amended and Restated ABL First Lien Credit Agreement. Under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement, the Company has an asset based revolving line of credit (the “ABL Facility”) with its first lien holder with advances on the line being supported by eligible accounts receivable, parts, and otherwise unencumbered new and used equipment inventory and rental equipment. In connection with the acquisition of YIT, on July 6, 2022 the Company amended the ABL Facility by exercising $80.0 million of the $150.0 million accordion function increasing borrowing capacity from $350.0 million to $430.0 million, which includes a $35 million Canadian-denominated sublimit facility. The ABL Facility is collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company, and the interest cost is SOFR plus an applicable margin on the CB Floating Rate, depending on borrowing levels. The ABL Facility matures on the earlier of April 1, 2026 or December 1, 2025 if any of the Notes (as hereinafter defined) remain outstanding as of December 1, 2025. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had an outstanding ABL Facility balance of
13
$257.8 million, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs. The effective interest rate was 6.7% at March 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had an outstanding ABL Facility balance of $219.5 million, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs. The effective interest rate was 6.2% at December 31, 2022.
Maximum borrowings under the Floor Plan Facilities and ABL Facility are limited to $780.0 million unless certain other conditions are met. The total amount outstanding as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $572.8 million and $476.4 million, exclusive of debt issuance and deferred financing costs of $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
Senior Secured Second Lien Notes
On April 1, 2021, the Company completed a private offering of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes (the “Notes”), for the purposes of, among other things, repayment and refinancing of a portion of the Company’s prior existing debt, reducing interest rate exposure and providing liquidity for financing of future growth initiatives. The Company sold $315.0 million of 5.625% Notes which are due in 2026. The Notes are guaranteed (the “Guarantees” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”) by the guarantors that are party thereto (the “Guarantors”) on a second lien, senior secured basis. The Notes were sold in a private placement in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a purchase agreement among the Company, the Guarantors, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the initial purchasers.
The Notes are guaranteed by each of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries that become a borrower or guarantor under our or the Guarantors’ indebtedness, including the Credit Agreements, as amended and restated concurrently with the closing of the Notes offering. The Notes and the Guarantees are secured, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens, by second-priority liens on substantially all of our assets and the assets of the Guarantors that secure on a first-priority basis all of the indebtedness under our ABL Facility and the First Lien Floor Plan Facility and certain hedging and cash management obligations, including, but not limited to, equipment, fixtures, inventory, intangibles and capital stock of our restricted subsidiaries now owned or acquired in the future by us or the Guarantors.
The Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.625% per annum and will mature on April 15, 2026. Interest on the Notes is payable in cash on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2021.
As of March 31, 2023, outstanding borrowings under the Notes were $311.3 million, which included $3.7 million deferred financing costs and original issue discounts. The effective interest rate on the Notes, taking into account the original issue discount, is 5.93%.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had additional leases, substantially all real estate, that were executed but had not yet commenced with undiscounted lease payments of $3.1 million. These leases are expected to commence in 2023 with lease terms up to 10 years.
See Note 13, Contingencies, for more information on certain contracts where the Company guarantees the performance of the third-party lessee.
NOTE 13— CONTINGENCIES
Guarantees
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was party to certain contracts in which it guarantees the performance of agreements with various third-party financial institutions. The terms of the guarantees range from 1 to 5 years. In the event of a default by a third-party lessee, the Company would be required to pay all or a portion of the remaining unpaid obligations as specified in the contract. The estimated exposure related to these guarantees was $1.7 million and $1.5 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. It is anticipated that the third parties will have the ability to repay the debt without the Company having to honor the guarantee; therefore, no amount has been accrued on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
16
Legal Proceedings
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, various claims and lawsuits, incidental to the ordinary course of our business, were pending against the Company. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Contractual Obligations
The Company does not believe there are any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on the Company. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 there were $4.9 million in outstanding letters of credit issued in the normal course of business, respectively. These letters of credit reduce our available borrowings as disclosed in Note 10, Long-Term Debt.
NOTE 14 — INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $0.1 million of deferred income tax expense in foreign jurisdictions. There was no income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was 9.1% and 0.0%, respectively. The effective income tax rate in 2023 was primarily related to income tax expense associated with tax filing jurisdictions with no associated valuation allowance and 2022 was primarily due to tax losses in these tax jurisdictions.
The Company considers the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested. The undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and related unrecognized deferred tax liability are not material as of March 31, 2023.The Company will continue to evaluate its plans for reinvestment or repatriation of unremitted foreign earnings. If the Company determines that all or a portion of such foreign earnings are no longer indefinitely reinvested, the Company may be subject to foreign withholding taxes and U.S. state income taxes, beyond the one-time transition tax.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had federal net operating tax loss carryforwards of approximately $30.5 million, which may be carried forward indefinitely and are eligible to offset 80% of future taxable income. The Company also has state net operating loss carryforwards of $32.2 million with varying carryforward expiration periods ranging from 2025 to 2041. We have established a valuation allowance fully offsetting the net operating losses that the Company does not expect to be realizable in the U.S.
The Company’s plan is to have broad-based, long-term programs intended to attract and retain talented employees and align stockholder and employee interests. We calculated the fair value of the restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs") at grant date based on the closing market price of our common stock at the date of grant. The compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of the award. The number of PSUs granted depends on the Company's achievement of target performance goals, which may range from 0% to 200% of the target award amount. The PSUs vest ratably over three years including the one-year performance period. Upon vesting, each stock award is exchangeable for one share of the Company's common stock, with accrued dividends.
The Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $0.8 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
As of March 31, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested portion of the Company's restricted stock awards was $1.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years. As of March 31, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested portion of the Company's performance stock awards was $3.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

NOTE 16 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying value of financial instruments reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for Cash, Accounts receivable, Accounts payable, Accrued expenses and Other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term nature or maturity of these financial instruments.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Debt Instruments
The carrying value of the Company's debt instruments vary from their fair values. The fair values were determined by reference to transacted prices and quotes for these instruments and upon current borrowing rates with similar maturities, which are Level 2 fair value inputs. The estimated fair value, as well as the carrying value, of the Company's debt instruments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are shown below:

Aggregate carrying value (1) |

|
| 554.1 |
|
(1) Total debt excluding the impact of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs.
Contingent Consideration
The contingent consideration liability represents the fair value of the future earn-out that the Company may be required to pay in conjunction with the acquisitions upon the achievement of certain performance milestones. The principal valuation technique for the contingent consideration is using a probability weighted range of outcomes analysis. The earn-out for the acquisitions is measured at fair value in each reporting period, based on Level 3 inputs, with any change to the fair value recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table sets forth, by level of hierarchy, the Company’s recurring measures at fair value as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, which are presented in “Other current liabilities” and “Other liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Derivative Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage a portion of these inherent risks, we may purchase certain types of derivative financial instruments based on management's judgment of the trade-off between risk, opportunity and cost. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The impact of hedge ineffectiveness was not significant in any of the periods presented.
Currency Derivative Contracts
From time to time, we use foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuations in exchange rates relating to certain foreign currencies. We had currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional amount of $5.5 million at March 31, 2023 that hedge our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates for certain inventory purchases through August 2023. The
18
unrealized gain on the foreign currency forward contracts for the period ended March 31, 2023 was not material. The Company has determined the currency derivative contracts are based on Level 2 inputs reflecting quoted market inputs.
Interest Rate Cap
During November 2022, we entered into an interest rate cap through December 2025 to protect cash flows from the risks associated with interest payments from interest rate increases on variable rate debt. The interest rate cap is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge. The premiums are recognized in income when paid from the effective date through the termination date. All changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap are deferred in AOCI and subsequently recognized in earnings in the period when the derivative contract settles. As of March 31, 2023, we have a notional amount of $200.0 million hedged at a strike rate of 4.5% on one-month SOFR. The unrealized loss on the interest rate cap for the period ended March 31, 2023 was not material.
The Company has determined fair value of the interest rate cap based on significant observable inputs (Level 2) reflecting quoted market prices for similar instruments from commercial banks and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (forward curves, implied volatility, counterparty credit risks) at regular intervals.
The following table sets forth the Company’s derivative financial instruments measured at fair value as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, which were presented in “Other assets” and "Other current liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

NOTE 17 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On March 1, 2023 the Company purchased the assets of M&G Materials Handling Co. ("M&G"), a privately held Yale dealer with a presence in Rhode Island. The purchase price was $2.3 million. The acquisition is not material for the three months ended March 31, 2023; therefore, we did not include an opening balance sheet for the M&G acquisition herein. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the balance sheet date. The Company expects to finalize the valuation and complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practical but no later than one year from the acquisition date. Costs and expenses related to the acquisition have been expensed as incurred in operating expenses.

During 2023, we have had purchase price accounting adjustments related to 2022 acquisitions which were not significant individually or in the aggregate. See the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the total cash outflow in "Expenditures for acquisitions, net of cash acquired" for the net current year impact of the 2022 acquisitions purchase price accounting adjustments and acquisition of M&G. We describe our 2022 acquisitions in more detail in Note 17 of the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
NOTE 18 — SEGMENTS
The Company has three reportable segments: Material Handling, Construction Equipment, and Master Distribution. All other business activities, including electric vehicles and corporate are included in "Corporate and Other". The Company’s segments are determined based on management structure, which is organized based on types of products and services sold, as described in the following paragraphs. The operating results for each segment are reported separately to the Company’s CEO to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources, to assess the Company’s operating performance and to make strategic decisions.
The Material Handling segment is principally engaged in operations related to the sale, service, and rental of lift trucks and other material handling equipment in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, New York (including New York City), Virginia and the New England region (including Boston) of the U.S. as well as Ontario and Quebec provinces of Canada.
The Construction Equipment segment is principally engaged in operations related to the sale, service, and rental of construction equipment in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Florida and the New England region (including Boston) of the U.S.
The Company began separately reporting Master Distribution as its own segment in the first quarter of 2023. The Master Distribution segment is principally engaged in large-scale equipment distribution rights with sub dealers throughout North America related to environmental processing equipment. The financial data below, as of December 31, 2022, has been recast to reflect the change in segment presentation.
The Company retains various unallocated expense items at the general corporate level, which the Company refers to as “Corporate and Other” in the table below. Corporate and Other holds corporate debt and has minor transactional activity all together. Corporate incurs expenses associated with compensation (including stock-based compensation) of our directors, corporate officers and members of our shared-services team, consulting and legal fees related to acquisitions and capital raising activities, corporate governance and compliance related matters, certain corporate development related expenses, interest expense associated with original issue discounts and deferred financing cost related to previous capital raises and a portion of the Company’s income tax provision. There is also intercompany elimination activity presented within the Corporate and Other segment.

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, after giving effect to all potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. We include all common shares granted under our stock-based compensation plan which remain unvested ("non-vested restricted stock units"), in the number of shares outstanding for our diluted earnings per share calculations using the treasury method.
Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were calculated as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. This discussion contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 reflecting Alta’s current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect its future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward- looking statements due to a number of factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, economic and competitive conditions, regulatory changes and other uncertainties, as well as those factors discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” all of which are difficult to predict. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur. Alta assumes no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements.
Recent Developments
Strategic Acquisitions
Our growth strategy is predicated on making strategic acquisitions that expand our geographic reach, broaden our capabilities and service offerings and diversify our customer and supplier bases. We believe these acquisitions, both immediately and over the long-term will be accretive to our financial performance. To that end, on March 1, 2023 the Company purchased the assets of M&G, a privately held Yale dealer with a presence in Rhode Island. With the acquisition, the Company now offers material handling customers in Rhode Island both Hyster and Yale branded products.
Equipment Inventory Availability and Product Support
Throughout 2021 and 2022, our industry was unfavorably impacted by equipment supply chain constraints leading to shortages across construction and material handling equipment categories and limiting our collective ability to meet customer demand and potentially increase our market share. While we continue to experience delivery delays and longer than normal lead times for certain equipment categories, we saw the continued subsiding of equipment supply chain constraints in the first quarter of 2023, resulting in an increase in our new equipment inventory relative to prior periods. This increase in new inventory in the first half of the fiscal year, given the seasonality of our Construction segment, is natural for our business and in line with historic norms. Our ability to take delivery of new equipment from our OEMs in the first quarter of 2023 was the primary driver of the $68.0 million increase in new and used equipment sales when compared to the same period last year. Additionally, and notably, the broader supply chain issues have not materially impacted our ability to source replacement parts for our service operation, as our OEMs have prioritized the production and delivery of replacement parts to dealers. As our customers focus on the “up-time” of their equipment, we continued to see strong demand for our product support capabilities, skilled technicians labor and replacement parts in the first quarter of 2023.
Business Description
The Company owns and operates one of the largest integrated equipment dealership platforms in the U.S. and has a presence in Canada. Through our branch network, we sell, rent, and provide parts and service support for several categories of specialized equipment, including lift trucks, heavy and compact earthmoving equipment, environmental processing equipment, cranes, paving and asphalt equipment, and other material handling and construction equipment. We engage in five principal business activities in these equipment categories:
We have operated as an equipment dealership for over 38 years and have developed a branch network that includes over 70 total locations in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, New York, Virginia, Nevada and Florida and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. We offer our customers end-to-end solutions for their equipment needs by providing sales, parts, service and rental functions. Additionally, we provide warehouse design and build services, automated equipment installation and system integration solutions within our Material Handling segment.
22
Within our territories, we are the exclusive distributor of new equipment and replacement parts on behalf of our OEM partners. We and our regional subsidiaries enjoy long-standing relationships with leading material handling and construction equipment OEMs, including Hyster-Yale, Volvo, JCB and Kubota, among many others. We also now, through the acquisition of Ecoverse, have exclusive master dealer rights throughout North America for environmental processing equipment with leading OEMs including Doppstadt, Backus and Backers, among others. We are consistently recognized by OEMs as a top dealership partner and have been identified as a nationally recognized Hyster-Yale dealer and multi-year recipient of the Volvo Dealer of the Year award. More recently, the Company entered into a dealer agreement with Nikola Corporation to become the authorized dealer to sell and service Nikola medium and long-haul class 8 electric vehicle trucks in New York, New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, New England, Florida and Illinois markets.
Business Segments
For detailed description of our business segments, refer to Note 18, Segments.
Financial Statement Overview
Our revenues are primarily derived from sale or rental of equipment and product support (e.g. parts and service) related activities, and consist of:
New Equipment Sales. We sell new heavy construction, material handling and environmental processing equipment and are a leading regional distributor for nationally recognized equipment manufacturers. Our new equipment sales operation is a primary source of new customers for the rental, parts and services business. The majority of our new equipment sales is predicated on exclusive distribution agreements we have with best-in-class OEMs. The sale of new equipment to customers, while profitable from a gross margin perspective, acts as a means of generating equipment field population and activity for our higher-margin aftermarket revenue streams, specifically service and parts. We also sell tangential products and services related to our material handling equipment offerings which include, but are not limited to, automated equipment and related installation, warehouse systems integration solutions and related controls software.
Used Equipment Sales. We sell used equipment which is typically equipment that has been taken in on trade from a customer that is purchasing new equipment, equipment coming off a third-party lease arrangement where we purchase the equipment from the finance company, or used equipment that is sourced for our customers in the open market by our used equipment specialists. Used equipment sales in our territories, like new equipment sales, generate parts and services business for the Company.
Parts Sales. We sell replacement parts to customers and supply parts to our own rental fleet. Our in-house parts inventory is extensive such that we are able to provide timely service support to our customers. The majority of our parts inventory is made up of OEM replacement parts for those OEM’s with which we have exclusive agreements to sell new equipment.
Service Support. We provide maintenance and repair services for customer-owned equipment and we maintain our own rental fleet. In addition to repair and maintenance on an as needed or scheduled basis, we provide ongoing preventative maintenance services and warranty repairs for our customers. We have committed substantial resources to training our technical service employees and have a full-scale service infrastructure that we believe differentiates us from our competitors. Approximately 40% of our employees are skilled service technicians.
Equipment Rentals. We rent heavy construction, compact, aerial, material handling, and a variety of other types of equipment to our customers on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Our rental fleet, which is well-maintained, has an original acquisition cost (which we define as the cost originally paid to manufacturers plus any capitalized costs) of $527.0 million as of March 31, 2023. The original acquisition cost of our rental fleet excludes the $10.9 million of assets associated with our guaranteed purchase obligations, which are assets that are not in our day-to-day operational control. In addition to being a core business, our rental business also creates cross-selling opportunities for us in our sales and product support activities.
Rental Equipment Sales. We also sell rental equipment from our rental fleet. Customers often have options to purchase equipment after or before rental agreements have matured. Rental equipment sales, like new and used equipment sales, generate customer-based equipment field population within our territories and ultimately yield high-margin parts and services revenue for us.
Principal Costs and Expenses
Our cost of revenues are primarily related to the costs associated with the sale or rental of equipment and product support activities, which includes direct labor costs for our skilled technicians. Our operating expenses consist principally of selling, general and administrative expenses, which primarily includes personnel costs associated with our sales and administrative staff and expenses associated with the deployment of our service vehicle fleet and occupancy expenses. In addition, we have interest expense related to our floorplan payables, finance leases, line of credit, and secured second lien notes. These principal costs and expenses are described further below:
23
New Equipment Sales. Cost of new equipment sold consists of the total acquisition costs of the new equipment we purchase from third parties.
Used Equipment Sales. Cost of used equipment sold consists of the net book value, or cost, of used equipment we purchase from third parties or the trade-in value of used equipment that we obtain from customers in new equipment sales transactions.
Parts Sales. Cost of parts sales represents the average cost of parts used in the maintenance and repair of customer-owned equipment we service or parts sold directly to customers for their owned equipment (e.g. over-the-counter parts).
Services Revenue. Cost of services revenues primarily represents the labor costs attributable to services provided for the maintenance and repair of customer-owned equipment. Training, paid time off, and other non-billable costs of maintaining our expert technicians flow through this department in addition to the direct customer-billable labor.
Rental Revenue. Rental expense represents the costs associated with rental equipment, including, among other things, the cost of repairing and maintaining our rental equipment and other miscellaneous costs of owning rental equipment. Other rental expenses consist primarily of equipment support activities that we provide our customers in connection with renting equipment, such as freight services and damage waiver policies.
Rental Depreciation. Depreciation of rental equipment represents the depreciation costs attributable to rental equipment. Estimated useful lives vary based upon type of equipment. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, for information on our rental equipment depreciation methods.
Rental Equipment Sales. Cost of previously rented equipment sold consists of the net book value (i.e. net of accumulated depreciation) of rental equipment sold from our rental fleet.
General and Administrative Expenses. These costs are comprised of three main components: personnel, operational and occupancy costs. Personnel costs are comprised of hourly and salaried wages for administrative employees, including incentive compensation, and employee benefits, including medical benefits. Operational costs include marketing activities, costs associated with deploying and leasing our service vehicle fleet, insurance, IT, office and shop supplies, general corporate costs, depreciation on non-sales and rental related assets and intangible amortization. Occupancy costs are comprised of all expenses related to our facility infrastructure, including rent, utilities, property taxes and building insurance.
Other (Expense) Income, Net . This section of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations is mostly comprised of interest expense and other miscellaneous items that result in income or expense. Interest expense is mostly driven by our OEM floorplan financing arrangements, a working capital line of credit, our second lien secured notes and our finance lease arrangements.

The above table contains a non-GAAP financial measure. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the company. The non-GAAP financial measure used is organic revenue and growth rates associated with organic revenue. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, we have provided a reconciliation of organic revenue to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the table above and in subsequent tables in management's discussion and analysis of our individual business segments. This measure is supplemental to, and should be used in conjunction with, the most comparable GAAP measure. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends.
We define organic revenue growth as revenue growth excluding the impact of acquisitions that do not appear fully in both periods in the current and prior years. We believe organic revenue growth is a meaningful metric to investors as it provides a more consistent comparison of our revenues to prior periods as well as to industry peers.
Revenues: Consolidated revenues increased by $89.0 million, or 26.8%, to $420.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period last year. Organic sales growth in the three months ended March 31, 2023 reached 16.2% compared to the same period last year. Despite headwinds of equipment supply chain volatility, higher interest rates, inflation and tight labor markets, we have experienced continued demand for our products and services as the fundamentals in many of the markets we serve remain solid. We continue to maintain a strong backlog and, in certain regions, we have taken market share from competitors with our inventory stocking strategies. Our customer focus through turbulent market times has led to an organic revenue increase of 29.1% in new and used equipment sales, a 19.0% organic revenue increase in our combined parts and service product support departments and an 6.6% organic increase in rental revenue. Rental equipment sales declined 30.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period last year as we strategically balance the decision to retain fleet to benefit from the elevated utilization and rental rate environment but still accommodate sales into our territories to bolster field population for longer-term returns in our product support departments. Overall, on a consolidated basis, we realized an organic increase of $53.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the same period last year.

The consolidated gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 28.8%, a 120 basis point increase from the 27.6% for the same period in 2022. New and used equipment sales margins increased 20 basis points to 18.5%, consistent overall with prior year but reflective of a favorable pricing environment for new equipment and our focus on providing more customized equipment solutions which yield a higher gross margin versus commodity products. The favorable pricing market coupled with our flexible rent-to-sell rental model, which allows us to sell previously depreciated rental fleet, led to a 1100 basis point increase in rental equipment sales margin when comparing the year-over-year periods despite lower sales volume in the category. The lower sales volume of rental equipment sales is related to loosening supply chain constraints on new equipment, which led to the large increase in new equipment sales for the quarter, as previously mentioned. Parts sales margins are modestly improved year to date when compared to the same time last year amid a favorable pricing environment and the acquisition of Ecoverse in the fourth quarter of 2022. We realized a 150 basis point increase in rental revenue gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023, largely as a result of an elevated rental rate environment when compared to the same period last year. Service gross margins remained consistent year-over-year.
General and Administrative expenses: Consolidated general and administrative expenses increased by $22.4 million to $109.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the same period last year, driven by the full period impact from our 2022 acquisitions as well as an increases in operating input costs, such as vehicles, fuel and technician supplies, and an increase in certain sales-based expenses such as sales commissions and marketing expenditures which supported the large increase in equipment sales year to date. Further, employment costs such as wages and benefits increased due to an overall growth of our employee headcount compounded by inflationary labor market factors.
Other (expense) income, net: Consolidated other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $11.0 million compared to $5.8 million for the same period in 2022. The increase is primarily due to an increase in interest expense due to higher interest rates and more debt outstanding due to acquisitions and increasing inventory levels.
Provision for income taxes: The Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to income in the current year that cannot be fully offset with net operating losses.There was no income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to net losses in these tax jurisdictions.

Revenues: Material Handling segment revenues increased by $39.2 million to $164.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period last year. Organically, the segment revenues increased 21.2% year to date over the same period in the prior year based on a favorable demand backdrop, an elevated pricing environment, and our OEMs ability to deliver more new equipment in 2023 versus 2022 allowing for throughput on our sales backlog. Importantly, on an organic basis product support revenues made up of the combined parts and service departments increased 15.3% as volumes, pricing and labor productivity all showed improvements. Rental revenue increased 16.4%, on an organic basis for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period last year on higher rental rates and a higher nominal level of fleet on rent. Additionally, it should be noted the three months ended March 31, 2023 included three months of operating activity for our YIT acquisition in Canada, which closed on July 29, 2022, driving further variance between the comparable periods on an inorganic basis.

Material Handling gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased 120 basis points to 34.9% compared to the same period in 2022. New and used equipment gross margins along with parts gross margins have remained relatively consistent year-over-year. The 280 basis point service margin decline in the Material Handling segment for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the prior year same period can be partially attributed to the inclusion of our acquired company, YIT, with below average margins in the quarter, and other factors including an increase in time spent on internal work orders (e.g., preparation and delivery of new and used equipment to customers and the repair of company-owned rental equipment) and an uptick in non-billable costs of our technicians (which include training, paid time off and unreimbursed travel time to customers) all contributing to an overall margin reduction. Rental revenue gross margins have declined 500 basis points due to increased rental depreciation expense due to higher rental fleet inventory as compared to the same period last year, attributable also to the acquisition of YIT, which increased the segment’s rental fleet.
General and administrative expenses: Material Handling general and administrative expenses increased by $4.9 million to $45.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period last year, mainly due to the full period impact from the YIT acquisition. Sales related variable costs, such as sales commissions and bonuses as well as an increase in employee benefits and operating input costs, as described previously, are also impacting the year-over-year variance.
Other (expense) income, net: Material Handling other expense, net increased by $6.2 million to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period last year. The increase is mainly related to the increase in total borrowings used to support acquisitions combined with a rise in interest rates on our floating-rate debt.

Revenues: Construction Equipment segment revenues increased by $27.0 million to $233.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period last year. Organically, the segment revenues increased 13.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 over the same period in the prior year based on a favorable demand backdrop, an elevated pricing environment and our OEMs ability to deliver more new equipment in 2023 versus 2022. New and used equipment sales increased by 32.3% organically amid loosening supply chain constraints in our OEM base, and product support revenues increased 22.3%. Rental revenue increased 1.6%, on an organic basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period last year primarily attributable to an increased rental rate environment existing between the comparable periods. Rental equipment sales decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period last year, as the greater availability of new equipment to satisfy sales demand in the quarter (as noted and contained in the 32.3% increase in new and used equipment sales growth) allowed for more flexibility in the decision as to whether to strategically sell equipment out of the rental fleet or to retain fleet to benefit from the elevated rental rate environment heading into the warmer weather rental season.

Construction Equipment gross profit increased by 200 basis points to 24.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 22.4% in the same period in 2022, with overall margin improvements reflective of the general business climate and demand factors of the industry. Specifically, new and used equipment sales margins decreased 160 basis points to 14.1%, primarily related to the loosening supply market causing a slightly more competitive equipment pricing environment when compared to the same period last year. Additionally, the 14.1% gross profit margin on new and used equipment for the quarter was in line with expectations and historic norms. Notably, the increased sales volume of new and used equipment more than compensated for the lowered relative margin on a nominal dollar basis, as new and used gross profit increased to $15.8 million from $13.3 million in the same period last year. Increased new equipment availability allowed for a more measured approach on the sale of rental equipment. Despite a lower sale volume of rental equipment, the flexibility afforded by the availability of new equipment in our markets allowed for a more deliberate approach to rental equipment sales which led to a 1100 basis point increase in rental equipment sales margin when comparing the year-over-year periods (equating to rental equipment gross profits of $7.7 million compared to $6.9 million from the same period last year). Parts sales margins improved 260 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2023 when compared to the same time last year amid a favorable pricing environment. Service gross margins increased by 360 basis points year-over-year primarily related to an increase in billable rates and positive trends in productivity measures when compared to the same period last year. Rental revenue gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was moderately improved from the same period last year.
31
General and Administrative expenses: Construction Equipment general and administrative expenses increased by $5.8 million to $49.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, mainly due to increases in operating input costs, such as vehicles, fuel and technician shop supplies, and an increase in certain sales-related expenses such as sales commissions and marketing expenditures, which supported the large increase in new and used equipment sales for the quarter. Additionally, we realized increases in personnel costs such as wages, bonuses, and employer-sponsored or union pension benefits, a result of inflationary factors and general headcount increases in the segment.
Other (expense) income, net: Construction Equipment other expense, net increased by $4.5 million to $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The variance was mainly due to the increase in interest rates on our floating-rate debt and the interest expense related to higher inventory levels financed through our floorplan financing facilities.
Master Distribution Results
The Company began separately reporting Master Distribution as its own segment in the first quarter of 2023. This business was acquired during the fourth quarter of 2022. As such, all Master Distribution revenue is considered inorganic and the below tables do not include comparable data for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Overall Summary: Master Distribution segment revenues for the quarter were $26.7 million, made up primarily, 88.0%, of new and used equipment sales and secondarily, 10.9%, of parts sales. It should be noted that Master Distribution’s equipment revenue is seasonal and more heavily weighted towards the first half of the fiscal year, and the first quarter in general, as Master Distribution sells to a network of subdealers who tend to stock inventory early in the year ahead of their customers buying season. Parts revenue does not have the same level of seasonality. Gross profit margin on new and used equipment sales and parts sales was 26.4% and 48.3%, respectively, for the quarter. These gross margin levels are in line with our expectations and recent pre-acquisition history.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 Cash Flows
Cash Flow from Operating Activities. Cash flows from operating activities include net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash items and the effects of changes in working capital. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, operating activities resulted in net cash used in operations of $20.1 million. Our cash flows from operating activities for the quarter primarily related to the seasonal build of our new equipment inventory, which increased by $62.4 million when compared to December 31, 2022, offset by the increase in manufacturers floor plan payable, the proceeds from sale of rental equipment and by net income adjusted for non-cash income and expenses including the gain on sale of rental equipment and depreciation and amortization totaling $23.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, operating activities resulted in net cash used in operations of $6.7 million. Our cash flows from operating activities for the quarter primarily related to a $82.6 million increase in inventory, and a $7.8 million increase in accounts receivable. Cash flows from operating activities were favorably impacted by $40.8 million due to proceeds from the sale of rental equipment and $21.7 million in net inflows related to manufacturer floor plans.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our cash used in investing activities was $18.9 million. This was mainly due to $17.7 million purchases of rental equipment and non-rental property and equipment as well as $1.7 million net use of cash for current year acquisitions and adjustments to the purchase prices of our 2022 acquisitions partially offset by $0.5 million of expenditures for equipment contracted under guaranteed purchase obligations.
33
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our cash used in investing activities was $18.6 million. This was mainly due to $17.4 million purchases of rental equipment, non-rental property and equipment, and equipment contracted under guaranteed purchase obligations offset by proceeds from the sale of property and equipment and a $1.2 million use of cash for an adjustment to the purchase price of a 2021 acquisition.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash provided by financing activities was $37.9 million. The favorable impact was mainly due to $38.3 million of net proceeds under our line of credit, which funded the increase in net working capital and rental fleet as previously noted, net proceeds of $1.0 million related to floor plans with an unaffiliated source (i.e., a non-OEM vendor), and $2.4 million related to other financing activities. This was partially offset by $1.1 million payments on finance lease obligations and $2.7 million related to preferred and common stock dividend payments.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cash provided by financing activities was $24.6 million. The favorable impact was mainly due to $15.4 million of net proceeds under our lines of credits and net proceeds of $10.7 million related to floor plans with an unaffiliated source (i.e. a non-vendor). This was partially offset by $0.7 million payments on finance lease obligations and $0.8 million related to preferred stock dividend payments.
Sources of Liquidity
Our principal sources of liquidity have been from cash provided by our service, parts and rental related operations and the sales of new, used, and rental fleet equipment, proceeds from the issuance of debt, and borrowings available under our line of credit and floor plans. The Company reported $1.7 million in cash for the three months ended March 31, 2023. For more information on our available borrowings under the revolving line of credit, senior secured second lien notes, and floor plans, please refer to Note 9, Floor Plans and Note 10, Long-term Debt. We consider the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested as we do not anticipate the need to repatriate funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs.
Cash Requirements Related to Operations
Our principal uses of cash have been to fund operating activities and working capital (including new and used equipment inventories), purchases of rental fleet equipment and property and equipment, fund payments due under line of credit and floor plans payable, fund acquisitions, meet debt service requirements and funding the preferred stock and common stock dividends. In the future, we may pursue additional strategic acquisitions and seek to open new start-up locations. We anticipate that the uses described above encompass the principal demands on our cash and availability under our line of credit and floor plans in the future.
The amount of our future capital expenditures will depend on a number of factors including general economic conditions and growth prospects. Our gross rental fleet capital expenditures for the period ended March 31, 2023 was $57.3 million, including $42.7 million of transfers from new and used inventory to rental fleet. This gross rental fleet capital expenditure was offset by sales proceeds of rental equipment of $29.0 million for the period ended March 31, 2023 as our business model is to sell lightly used inventory to customers from our rental fleet to increase field population in our geographies. In response to changing economic conditions, we have the flexibility to modify our capital expenditures, especially as it relates to rental fleet.
To service our debt, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to pay interest and principal on our indebtedness, will depend upon our future operating performance and the availability of borrowings under the line of credit and/or other debt and equity financing alternatives available to us, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and conditions in the global credit and capital markets, as well as financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Based on our current level of operations and given the current state of the capital markets, we believe our cash flow from operations, available cash, and available borrowings under the line of credit will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2023, we had $229.4 million of available borrowings under the revolving line of credit and floor plan facilities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In the preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures. Our management reviews these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. While we believe the estimates and judgments we use in preparing our consolidated financial statements are reasonable and appropriate, they are subject to future events and uncertainties regarding their outcome; therefore, actual results may materially differ from these estimates. If actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts first become known. Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 2 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for disclosures regarding the use of estimates and assumptions.
Additionally, see Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a summary of our significant accounting policies.
34
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk primarily consists of interest rate risk associated with our variable and fixed rate debt and foreign currency risks. We employ financial instruments to manage the Company's exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign currencies. See Note 16, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, for more information.
Interest rate risk: Our earnings may be affected by changes in interest rates on the ABL Facility and Floor Plan Facilities. The interest rates applicable to any loans under the ABL Facility are based, at the option of the borrowers, on (i) a floating rate based on the SOFR (for loans denominated in U.S. dollars) or Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (for loans denominated in Canadian dollars) plus an initial margin of 1.75% or (ii) CBFR (for loans denominated in U.S. dollars) or the Canadian Prime Rate (for loans denominated in Canadian dollars) less an initial margin of 0.75%, in each case, where margin is adjusted under the ABL Facility based on the quarterly average excess availability under the ABL Facility. The interest rates applicable to any loans under various Floor Plan Facilities are based on a wide range of benchmark rates (including SOFR, Prime, Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index, and the Canadian Bankers' Acceptance Rate) plus an applicable margin. As of March 31, 2023, the lowest Floor Plan Rate was SOFR plus an initial margin of 2.75%, and the highest was SOFR plus an initial margin of 5.00% plus an adjustment of 0.1145% per annum.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $257.8 million and $219.5 million, respectively, outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $315.0 million and $256.9 million, respectively, outstanding borrowings under the Floor Plan Facilities. As of March 31, 2023, based upon the amount of our variable rate debt outstanding, each one percentage point increase in the interest rates applicable to our variable rate debt when excluding and including the hedge impact of our interest rate cap would reduce our annual pre-tax earnings by $3.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The amount of variable rate indebtedness outstanding may fluctuate significantly. See Note 9, Floor Plans, and Note 10, Long-Term Debt, in our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning the terms of our variable rate debt.
We have fixed rate Notes of $315.0 million which are due in 2026. We did not have exposure to changing interest rates as of March 31, 2023 on the fixed rate Notes. For additional information concerning the terms of our fixed rate debt, see Note 10, Long-Term Debt.
Foreign currency risk: Due to our international operations, a portion of our revenues, cost of revenues, and operating expenses are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Changes in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar and European currencies affect the translated value and relative level of revenues and net income that we report from one period to the next. We have an economic hedge on a portion of committed foreign currency purchases to manage some of our foreign currency exposure.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management utilized the criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) to conduct an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023
Refer to Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the material weakness identified leading to the conclusion that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, the material weakness has not been fully remediated. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have certified that, based on each such officer’s knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows as of, and for, the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We are in the process of executing our remediation plan for the material weakness, which is described below.
35
Remediation
Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include:
We believe that these actions will remediate the material weakness. The material weakness will not be considered remediated, however, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
