NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(1) Mobile Mini, Inc. - Organization and Description of Business
Mobile Mini, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a leading provider of portable storage solutions and tank and pump solutions. In these notes, the terms “Mobile Mini” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Mobile Mini, Inc.
At September 30, 2019, we had a fleet of storage solutions units operating throughout the United States (the “U.S.”), Canada and the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”), serving a diversified customer base, including construction companies, large and small retailers, medical centers, schools, utilities, distributors, the military, hotels, restaurants, entertainment complexes and households. These customers rent our products for a wide variety of applications, including the storage of construction materials and equipment, retail and manufacturing inventory, documents and records and other goods. We also have a fleet of tank and pump solutions products, concentrated in the U.S. Gulf Coast, including liquid and solid containment units, serving a specialty sector in the industry. Our tank and pump products are rented primarily to chemical, refinery, oil and natural gas drilling, mining and environmental service customers.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mobile Mini and our wholly owned subsidiaries. We do not have any subsidiaries in which we do not own 100% of the outstanding stock. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management of Mobile Mini, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 5, 2019.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates affect the calculation of depreciation and amortization, the calculation of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the analysis of goodwill and long-lived assets for potential impairment and certain accrued liabilities.
(2) Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software. In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued a standard that provides guidance on accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The amendments in this update align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license.
This guidance also requires entities to present the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs in the same line item in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element (service) of the arrangement and classify payments for capitalized implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting element. The entity is also required to present the capitalized implementation costs in the statement of financial position in the same line item that a prepayment for the fees of the associated hosting arrangement would be presented. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. We will adopt this standard on January 1, 2020 and do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. In January 2017, the FASB issued a standard requiring an entity to no longer perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, impairment will be measured using the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Entities may early adopt the guidance. We will adopt this standard on January 1, 2020 and do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

MOBILE MINI, INC.

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued a standard on lease accounting requiring a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. This standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019, utilizing a modified retrospective transition approach. We chose to use the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information was not updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard were not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019.
The standard includes optional transition practical expedients intended to simplify its adoption. We elected to adopt the package of practical expedients, which allowed us to retain the historical lease classification determined under legacy GAAP as well as a relief from reviewing expired or existing contracts to determine if they contain leases.
Upon adoption, we recognized operating lease liabilities totaling approximately $91 million, with corresponding right of use assets. The liabilities were calculated as the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments for existing operating leases. When we enter contractual arrangements as lessor, we expect the period of each rental to be less than one year. As such, the accounting for contracts in which we are the lessor is not affected. This standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows. See Note 13 for additional information.
(3) Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is a market-based measurement determined by assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We categorize each of our fair value measurements in one of the following three levels based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:
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.
At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we did not have any financial instruments required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair values based on their short-term nature. The fair values of our revolving credit facility and finance leases are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of our revolving credit facility debt and finance leases, which are measured using Level 2 inputs, at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, approximated their respective book values.
The fair value of our $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due July 1, 2024 (the “Senior Notes” or “2024 Notes”) is based on their latest sales price at the end of each period obtained from a third-party institution and is Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as there is not an active market for the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are presented on the balance sheet net of deferred financing costs. The gross carrying value and the fair value of our Senior Notes are as follows:
| | September 30, 2019 | | | December 31, 2018 | |
| | (In thousands) | |
Carrying value | | $ | 250,000 | | | $ | 250,000 | |
Fair value | | | 258,750 | | | | 247,028 | |
(4) Revenues
Revenue Recognition
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.
10
MOBILE MINI, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) - Continued
Rental revenue includes revenues associated with rental contracts with customers and may have multiple performance obligations including the direct rental of fleet to our customers, fleet delivery and pickup. Also included in rental revenues are ancillary fees including late charges and charges for damages. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the contractually stated price as our best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct promise in the contract. Our prices are determined using methods and assumptions developed consistently across similar customers and markets.
We enter into contracts with our customers to rent equipment based on a monthly rate for our Storage Solutions fleet and a daily, weekly or monthly rate for our Tank & Pump Solutions fleet. Revenues from renting are recognized ratably over the rental period, in accordance with lease accounting guidance. The rental continues until cancelled by the customer or the Company. If equipment is returned prior to the end of the contractually obligated period, the excess, if any, 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. Customers may utilize our equipment delivery and pick-up services in conjunction with the rental of equipment, but it is not required. Revenue pursuant to the delivery or pick up of a rented unit is recognized upon completion of the service in accordance with revenue recognition guidance and is included in the rental revenues financial statement caption.
Sales revenue is primarily generated by the sale of new and used units, and to a lesser extent, parts and supplies sold to Tank & Pump Solutions customers. Sales contracts generally have a single performance obligation that is satisfied at the time of delivery. Sales revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract and recognized when the customer takes possession of the unit or other sale items.
Our Storage Solutions rental customers are generally billed in advance. Additionally, we may bill our customers in advance for fleet pickup. Tank & Pump Solutions rental customers are typically billed in arrears, a minimum of once per month. Sales transactions are generally billed in advance or upon transfer of the sold items. Payments from customers are generally due upon receipt of the invoice. Certain customers have extended terms for payment, but no terms are greater than one year following the invoice date.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.
Contract Costs and Liabilities
When customers are billed in advance, we defer recognition of revenue and reflect unearned rental revenue at the end of the period. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had approximately $40.7 million and $41.0 million, respectively, of unearned rental revenue included in accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We expect to perform the remaining performance obligations and recognize the unearned rental revenue within the next twelve months.

(5) Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Restricted stock awards are subject to the risk of forfeiture and are not included in the calculation of basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding until vested. Diluted EPS is calculated under the treasury stock method. Potential common shares include restricted common stock and incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options.
The following table is a reconciliation of net income and weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted EPS:

There were approximately 0.8 million and 0.7 million of common stock equivalents that would have been included in the diluted EPS denominator for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 20, 2018, respectively, had there not been a net loss. These common stock equivalents were excluded because their inclusion would reduce the net loss per share. In addition, the following table represents the effect of stock options and restricted share awards that were issued or outstanding but excluded in calculating diluted EPS because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the period indicated, or the underlying performance criteria had not yet been met:

(7) Asset Impairment Charge and Loss on Divestiture, Net of Proceeds
Consistent with our strategy to focus on high returning assets, during the second quarter of 2018 we initiated an organization-wide project to assess the economic and operational status of our fleet and other assets as well as an in-depth analysis of our fleet management process to identify inefficiencies. The task encompassed an intensive review of underperforming assets throughout North America and the U.K. using our recently implemented enterprise resource planning system and sophisticated work order system that allows specific identification of the status of each unit and facilitates deeper analysis of repair and maintenance costs. The result of this review was the identification of specific assets over which a further determination as to the economics of continued retention and repair could be made.
In July 2018, management presented a proposed plan of sale for certain identified assets to the Board of Directors, and on July 24, 2018 the Board of Directors made the strategic decision to approve the plan and authorized management to begin actively marketing the assets for sale. As a result, we placed these assets as held for sale and recognized a $98.3 million loss on divestiture in the third quarter of 2018. In the fourth quarter of 2018, additional assets were identified and placed as held for sale, resulting in a full-year loss of $102.1 million, which consisted primarily of a non-cash loss of $111.4 million. The majority of the assets were sold as scrap metal. In addition to rental fleet, we also identified and placed for sale, property, plant and equipment and inventory that were not being used efficiently. The assets represent a subset of larger asset groups held by the Company. The sale was completed as of December 31, 2018.

(9) Rental Fleet
Rental fleet is capitalized at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the unit using the straight-line method. Rental fleet is depreciated whether or not it is out on rent. Capitalized cost of rental fleet includes the price paid to acquire the unit and freight charges to the location when the unit is first placed in service, and when applicable, the cost of manufacturing or remanufacturing, which includes the cost of customizing units. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred.
We periodically review depreciable lives and residual values against various factors, including the results of our lenders’ independent appraisal of our rental fleet, practices of our competitors in comparable industries and profit margins achieved on sales of depreciated units. Appraisals on our rental fleet are required by our lenders on a regular basis. The appraisal typically reports no difference in the value of the unit due to the age or length of time it has been in our fleet. Based in part upon our lender’s third-party appraiser who evaluated our fleet as of September 30, 2018, management estimates that the net orderly liquidation appraisal value as of September 30, 2019 was approximately $1.1 billion. Our net book value for this fleet as of September 30, 2019 was $1.0 billion.
Depreciation expense related to our rental fleet for both the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $23.9 million. At September 30, 2019, all rental fleet units were pledged as collateral under our Second Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement dated as of March 22, 2019 (the “New Credit Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”), as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto.
Rental fleet consisted of the following at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

(10) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Our depreciation expense related to property, plant and equipment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $24.2 million and $21.4 million, respectively. Normal repairs and maintenance to property, plant and equipment are expensed as incurred. When property or equipment is retired or sold, the net book value of the asset, reduced by any proceeds, is charged to gain or loss on the disposal of property, plant and equipment and is included in rental, selling and general expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Property, plant and equipment at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consisted of the following:
| | Residual Value as Percentage of Original Cost | | Estimated Useful Life in Years | | September 30, 2019 | | | December 31, 2018 | |

(11) Goodwill and Intangibles
For acquired businesses, we record assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the respective acquisition dates. Based on these values, the excess purchase prices over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Of the $705.8 million total goodwill at September 30, 2019, $470.9 million related to the North America Storage Solutions segment, $53.7 million related to the U.K. Storage Solutions segment and $181.2 million related to the Tank & Pump Solutions segment.
The following table shows the activity and balances related to goodwill from January 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019 (in thousands):
Balance at January 1, 2019 | | $ | 705,217 | |
Acquisition | | | 2,328 | |
Foreign currency | | | (1,776 | ) |
Balance at September 30, 2019 | | $ | 705,769 | |
Intangible assets are amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset utilizing a method which reflects the estimated pattern in which the economic benefits will be consumed. Customer relationships are amortized based on the estimated attrition rates of the underlying customer base. Other intangibles are amortized using the straight-line method.

(12) Debt
Lines of Credit
On March 22, 2019, Mobile Mini and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the New Credit Agreement with Deutsche Bank as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The New Credit Agreement amended, restated and replaced Mobile Mini’s prior Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement dated as of December 14, 2015 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank, as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto.
The New Credit Agreement provides for a five year, $1 billion first lien senior secured revolving credit facility, which is for borrowing in U.S. Dollars (the “U.S. Subfacility”), in British Pounds and Euros (the “U.K. Subfacility”), and in Canadian Dollars (the “Canadian Subfacility”). The U.S. Subfacility is subject to, among other things, the terms of a borrowing base calculated as a discount to the value of certain pledged U.S. collateral; the U.K. Subfacility is subject to a similar borrowing base that includes certain pledged U.K. collateral; and the Canadian Subfacility is subject to a similar borrowing base that includes certain pledged Canadian collateral. Under the terms of the New Credit Agreement, certain real property will require an appraisal before the value can be considered in the borrowing base of the respective subfacilities. All three borrowing bases are subject to certain reserves and caps customary for financings of this type. The New Credit Agreement has an accordion feature that permits, under certain conditions, an increase of up to $500 million of additional commitments. If at any time the aggregate amounts outstanding under the subfacilities exceed the respective borrowing base then in effect, a prepayment of an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess is required to be made. Mobile Mini has the right to prepay loans under the New Credit Agreement in whole or in part at any time. All amounts borrowed under the New Credit Agreement must be repaid on or before March 22, 2024. The New Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of irrevocable standby letters of credit by U.S. lenders in amounts totaling up to $50 million, by U.K.-based lenders in amounts totaling up to $20 million and by Canadian-based lenders in amounts totaling up to $20 million.

MOBILE MINI, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) - Continued
Loans made under the U.S. Subfacility bear interest at a rate equal to, at Mobile Mini’s option, either (a) the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin (“LIBOR Loans”) or (b) the prime rate plus an applicable margin (“Base Rate Loans”). With some exceptions, Mobile Mini may freely convert LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans and vice versa. Loans made under the U.K. Subfacility denominated in British Pounds bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin and loans denominated in Euros bear interest at a rate equal to the Euro interbank offered rate (“EURIBOR”) plus an applicable margin. Loans made under the Canadian Subfacility bear interest at a rate equal to, at Mobile Mini’s option, either (i) the Canadian prime rate plus an applicable margin (“Canadian Prime Rate Loans”) or (ii) the Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptance rate (“B/A Rate”) plus an applicable margin (“Canadian LIBOR Loans”). With some exceptions, Mobile Mini may freely convert Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Canadian LIBOR Loans and vice versa. The applicable margin for each type of loan is based on an availability-based pricing grid and ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% for LIBOR Loans and 0.25% to 0.75% for Base Rate Loans at each measurement date. As of September 30, 2019, the applicable margins are 1.50% for LIBOR Loans and 0.50% for Base Rate Loans. The applicable margins will be readjusted quarterly based upon Mobile Mini’s daily average total borrowing availability. Mobile Mini is also required to pay an unused line fee in respect of the unutilized commitments under the New Credit Agreement at a fee rate of 0.225% per annum, as well as customary letter of credit fees.
Ongoing extensions of credit under the New Credit Agreement are subject to customary conditions, including sufficient availability under the respective borrowing base. The New Credit Agreement also contains covenants that require Mobile Mini to, among other things, periodically furnish financial and other information to the various lenders. The New Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants applicable to Mobile Mini and its subsidiaries, including negative covenants that restrict the ability of such entities to, among other things, (i) allow certain liens to attach to Mobile Mini or subsidiary assets, (ii) repurchase or pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments on capital stock and certain other securities, or prepay certain indebtedness, (iii) incur additional indebtedness or engage in certain other types of financing transactions, and (iv) make acquisitions or other investments. In addition, Mobile Mini must comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each quarter, upon specified excess availability under the New Credit Agreement falling below the greater of (y) $90 million and (z) 10% of the lesser of the then total revolving loan commitment and aggregate borrowing base. As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with the minimum borrowing availability threshold set forth in the New Credit Agreement and therefore, are not subject to any financial maintenance covenants.
The U.S. Subfacility is guaranteed by Mobile Mini and certain of its domestic subsidiaries. The U.K. Subfacility and the Canadian Subfacility are guaranteed by Mobile Mini and certain of its domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The U.S. Subfacility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all assets of Mobile Mini and the guarantors of such subfacility; the U.K. Subfacility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the borrowers and the guarantors of such subfacility; and the Canadian Subfacility is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the borrowers and the guarantors of such subfacility.
The New Credit Agreement also includes other covenants, representations, warranties, indemnities, and events of default that are customary for facilities of this type, including events of default relating to a change of control of Mobile Mini.
Senior Notes
We have outstanding $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2024 Notes issued at their face value on May 9, 2016. The 2024 Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per year and mature on July 1, 2024. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1. The 2024 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries.

(13) Leases
Real Estate
We lease our corporate and administrative offices in Phoenix, Arizona and our U.K. headquarters in Stockton-on-Tees. We also lease field locations throughout the U.S. and the U.K., as well as two in Canada. Many real estate leases include one or more options to renew. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at our discretion and we assess the initial lease term based on the term that we are reasonably certain to occupy the leased property. None of our real estate leases contain residual value guarantees or purchase options. The majority of our real estate leases are operating leases.
Equipment Leases
Mobile Mini also engages in leases related to ancillary equipment to support our field operations; such as, forklifts, trucks, service vehicles and automobiles. These leases often include an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease and are generally finance leases. In addition, we have leases for certain office equipment.
Lease Assets and Liabilities
For leases with an initial term greater than twelve months, we recognize a lease asset and liability at commencement date. Lease assets are initially measured at cost, which includes the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, less lease incentives received. In our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, finance lease assets are included in property, plant and equipment.
For operating leases, the liability is initially and subsequently measured as the present value of the unpaid lease payments. For finance lease liabilities, the lease liability is also initially measured as the present value of the unpaid lease payments and is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. We are required to use estimates and judgments in the determination of our lease liabilities. Key estimates and judgments include the following:
Lease Discount Rate – We are required to discount our unpaid fixed lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, our incremental borrowing rate. Our finance leases generally have an interest rate implicit in the lease. For operating leases and certain finance leases, we generally cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, in which case we use our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for the lease. We estimate our incremental borrowing rate for these leases based on current rates available to us on finance leases, which are collateralized, have a level payments structure and a specified lease term.
Lease Term – Our lease terms include the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by an extension of the lease that we are reasonably certain to exercise.
19
MOBILE MINI, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) - Continued
Fixed Payments – Lease payments included in our measurement of the lease liability include the following: fixed payments owed over the lease term, termination penalties if we expect to exercise a termination option, the price to purchase the underlying asset if we are reasonably certain to exercise the purchase option and residual value guarantees if applicable.

Assets recorded under capital lease obligations totaled approximately $90.3 million as of December 31, 2018 and the related accumulated amortization totaled approximately $35.7 million.
Lease Expense and Activity
Payments due under lease contracts include fixed payments plus, for many of our leases, variable payments. Fixed payments under our leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, including any periods of free rent. Variable expenses associated with leases are recognized when they are incurred. For our real estate leases, variable payments include such items as allocable property taxes, local sales and business taxes, and common area maintenance charges. Variable payments associated with equipment leases include such items as maintenance services provided by the lessor and local sales and business taxes. We have elected as an accounting policy to not separate lease components and non-lease components.
In our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, expenses for our operating leases are recognized within rental, selling and general expenses and amortization of assets held under finance leases is included in depreciation and amortization expense.

(14) Income Taxes
We are subject to taxation in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as various U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. We have identified our U.S. federal tax return as our “major” tax jurisdiction. As of September 30, 2019, we are no longer subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for years prior to 2015, to examination for any U.S. state taxing authority prior to 2013, or to examination for any foreign jurisdictions prior to 2014. All subsequent periods remain open to examination.
Prior to 2019, we asserted that the unremitted earnings of our U.K. subsidiaries were permanently reinvested. In 2019, we withdrew our permanent reinvestment assertion for one of these subsidiary’s 2019 earnings but maintain our assertion in relation to this subsidiary’s historical earnings prior to 2019. Therefore, 0 deferred tax liability has been recorded on the related historical earnings. The 2019 earnings are not subject to withholding taxes in the U.K. and, due to U.S. tax reform enacted in 2017, are not subject to U.S. federal income taxes when distributed. We may be subject to state income taxes in very limited circumstances and have accordingly accounted for this immaterial impact in the current period.
21
MOBILE MINI, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) - Continued
Our effective income tax rate decreased to 26.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 33.4% for the prior-year period. Our current year rate was affected by non-deductible stock compensation of $3.6 million recorded in the current period, largely offset by a $0.7 million benefit related to a federal tax return true up. See additional information regarding the non-deductible stock compensation in Note 15.
The prior-year effective tax was impacted by the $98.3 million asset impairment charge and loss on divestiture. Additionally, in the prior-year period, we recognized a $2.9 million benefit resulting from the reduction of tax expense related to the U.S. federal tax reform enacted in 2017, as well as benefits related to state tax rate changes enacted in the third quarter of 2018. These tax benefits had the effect of increasing the effective tax rate due to the $33.5 million pre-tax loss recognized during the nine-month period.
Uncertain tax positions are recognized and measured using a two-step approach. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation process, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $0.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits all of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
| | 2019 | |
| | (In thousands) | |
Beginning balance | | $ | — | |
Additions based on tax positions related to prior years | | | 493 | |
Ending balance | | $ | 493 | |
All of the unrecognized tax benefits outstanding at September 30, 2019 is expected to reverse within the next twelve months.
Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income before taxes. Penalties and associated interest costs, if any, are recorded in rental, selling and general expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(15) Share-Based Compensation
We have historically awarded stock options and restricted stock awards for employees and non-employee directors as a means of attracting and retaining quality personnel and to align employee performance with stockholder value. Share-based compensation plans are approved by our stockholders and administered by the stock compensation committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The current plan allows for a variety of equity programs designed to provide flexibility in implementing equity and cash awards, including incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance stock, performance units and other stock-based awards. Participants may be granted any one of the equity awards or any combination. We do not award stock options with an exercise price below the market price of the underlying securities on the date of grant. As of September 30, 2019, 1.2 million shares are available for future grants, assuming performance-based awards vest at their target amount. Generally, stock options have contractual terms of ten years.
Service-based awards. We grant share-based compensation awards that vest over time subject to the employee rendering service over the vesting period. The majority of the service–based awards vest in equal annual installments over a period of three to four years. The expense for service-based awards is expensed ratably over the full service period of the grant.
Performance-based awards. All performance-based awards granted from 2016 through 2019 vest contingently over a three-year period assuming a target number of options or restricted share awards. However, the terms of these awards provide that the number of options or restricted share awards that ultimately vest may vary between 50% and 200% of the target amount or may be 0. The targets were set at the time of grant. For awards granted from 2016 through 2019, performance conditions are related to the Company’s return on capital employed.
22
MOBILE MINI, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) - Continued
Expense related to performance-based awards that have multiple vesting dates, is recognized using the accelerated attribution approach, whereby each vesting tranche is treated as a separate award for purposes of determining the implicit service period. The accelerated attribution approach generally results in a higher expense during the earlier years of vesting. Expense related to performance-based awards is recognized based upon anticipated attainment.
The following table summarizes the Company’s share-based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Mobile Mini amended the terms of certain share-based compensation agreements with our Chief Executive Officer who retired as an employee of the Company and assumed the position of Chairman of the Board for Mobile Mini as of October 1, 2019. The amended agreements provide that his service period under such agreements will extend to include his status as a Director. In connection with these modifications, we recorded additional share-based compensation during the period of $3.6 million.
As of September 30, 2019, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option awards, assuming achievement at target, was approximately $0.1 million and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 0.4 years. As of September 30, 2019, the unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock awards assuming achievement at target was approximately $9.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.5 years.
Stock Options. The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model which requires the input of assumptions. We estimate the risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. Treasury security rate in effect at the time of the grant. The expected life of the options, volatility and dividend rates are estimated based on our historical data. NaN new stock options were issued in 2019 or 2018.

(17) Commitments and Contingencies
We are a party to various claims and litigation in the normal course of business. Our current estimated range of liability related to various claims and pending litigation is based on claims for which our management can determine that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Because of the uncertainties related to both the probability of incurred and possible range of loss on pending claims and litigation, management must use considerable judgment in making reasonable determination of the liability that could result from an unfavorable outcome. As additional information becomes available, we will assess the potential liability related to our pending litigation and revise our estimates. Such revisions in our estimates of the potential liability could materially impact our results of operation. We do not anticipate the resolution of such matters known at this time will have a material adverse effect on our business or consolidated financial position.

(19) Segment Reporting
Our operations are comprised of 3 reportable segments: North American Storage Solutions, U.K. Storage Solutions and Tank & Pump Solutions. Discrete financial data on each of our products is not available and it would be impractical to collect and maintain financial data in such a manner. The results for each segment are reviewed discretely by our chief operating decision maker.
We operate in the U.S., the U.K. and Canada. All of our locations operate in their local currency. Although we are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuation in foreign markets where we rent and sell our products, we do not believe such exposure will have a significant impact on our results of operations. Revenues recognized by our U.S. locations were $132.0 million and $125.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and were $388.4 million and $362.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements. The tables and information in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” section were derived from exact numbers and may have immaterial rounding differences.
Overview
Executive Summary
We believe we are the world’s leading provider of portable storage solutions, maintaining a strong leadership position in virtually all markets served. Our mission is to be the leader in portable storage solutions to customers throughout North America and the U.K. and tank and pump solutions in the U.S. We are committed to providing our customers with superior service and access to a high-quality and diverse fleet. In managing our business, we focus on renting rather than selling our units, with rental revenues representing approximately 95% of our total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We believe this strategy is highly attractive and provides predictable, recurring revenue. Additionally, our assets have long useful lives and relatively low maintenance costs. We also sell new and used units and provide delivery, and other ancillary products and value-added services.
We operate our portable storage business in North America as “Mobile Mini Storage Solutions” and our tank and pump business as “Mobile Mini Tank + Pump Solutions”. As of September 30, 2019, our network of locations included 118 Storage Solutions locations, 20 Tank & Pump Solutions locations and 17 combined locations. Our Storage Solutions fleet consisted of approximately 199,100 units and our Tank & Pump Solutions fleet consisted of approximately 12,700 units. During the quarter we completed the acquisition of a portable storage business which further strengthened our business in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
ABL Refinancing. In March 2019, we created more capital flexibility and positioned Mobile Mini for future growth by entering into the Second Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement dated as of March 22, 2019 (the “New Credit Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”), as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto, which replaced our prior Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement dated as of December 14, 2015 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement extends the maturity of our ABL financing to March 2024 and reduces fees associated with unused credit.
Business Environment and Outlook. Approximately 66% of our consolidated rental revenue during the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2019 was derived from our North American Storage Solutions business, 13% was derived from our U.K. Storage Solutions business and 21% was derived from the Tank & Pump Solutions business. Our business is subject to the general health of the economy and we utilize a variety of general economic indicators to assess market trends and determine the direction of our business.
Based on our assessment, we expect that the majority of our North American end markets will continue to drive demand for our products, although some macro-economic indicators are pointing to slower growth. In particular, the construction industry, which represents approximately 35% of our consolidated rental revenue, is forecasted to continue to show growth. Economic indicators related to the industrial and commercial end-segment are mixed. Industrial and commercial customers, which comprise approximately 26% of our rental revenue, generally operate in industries such as: large processing plants for organic and inorganic chemicals, refineries, distributors and trucking and utility companies. Our national retail accounts typically involve seasonal demand in the third and fourth quarter during the holiday season. Retail and consumer service customers comprise approximately 23% of our revenue and include department, drug, grocery and strip mall stores as well as hotels, restaurants, service stations and dry cleaners. Upstream oil and gas customers comprise approximately 2% of our revenue and include companies performing such activities as exploratory well drilling, operation of producing wells and bringing crude oil and/or raw natural gas to the surface using alternative methods.
On June 23, 2016, the U.K. voted to leave the European Union (the “E.U.”) in a referendum vote that continues to have unknown social, geopolitical and economic impacts (“Brexit”). The terms of the U.K.’s withdrawal remain highly uncertain, which has impacted their economy, and the chances of a no-deal Brexit cannot be ruled out. As the Brexit terms and their impact become clear, we may adjust our U.K. strategy and operations accordingly.

Accounting and Operating Overview
Our principal operating revenues and expenses are:
Revenues:
| • | Rental revenues include all rent and ancillary revenues we receive for our rental fleet. |
| • | Sales revenues consist primarily of sales of new and used fleet and, to a lesser extent, parts and supplies sold to customers. |
Costs and expenses:
| • | Rental, selling and general expenses include, among other expenses, payroll and payroll-related costs (including share-based compensation and commissions for our sales team), fleet transportation and fuel costs, repair and maintenance costs for our rental fleet and transportation equipment, real estate lease expense, insurance costs, and general corporate expenses. |
| • | Cost of sales is the net book value of the units that were sold during the reported period and includes both our cost to buy, transport, remanufacture and modify used containers and our cost to manufacture Storage Solutions units and other structures. |
| • | Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation on our rental fleet, our property, plant and equipment, and amortization of definite-lived intangible assets. |
Our principal asset is our rental fleet, which is capitalized at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the unit using the straight-line method. Rental fleet is depreciated whether or not it is out on rent. Capitalized cost of rental fleet includes the price paid to acquire the unit and freight charges to the location when the unit is first placed in service and, when applicable, the cost of manufacturing or remanufacturing, which includes the cost of customizing units. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred.

We are a capital-intensive business. Therefore, in addition to focusing on measurements calculated in accordance with GAAP, we focus on EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to measure our operating results. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and the resultant margins, and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. As such, we include in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. We also evaluate our operations on a constant currency basis. These reconciliations and a description of the limitations of these measures are included below.
Non-GAAP Data and Reconciliations
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as net income before discontinued operations, net of tax (if applicable), interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and debt restructuring or extinguishment expense (if applicable), including any write-off of deferred financing costs. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes certain non-cash expenses, as well as transactions that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing business. Because EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, as defined, exclude some but not all items that affect our cash flow from operating activities, they may not be comparable to similarly titled performance measures presented by other companies.
We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide an overall evaluation of our financial condition and useful information regarding our ability to meet our future debt payment requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have certain limitations as analytical tools and should not be used as substitutes for net income, cash flows, or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins are calculated as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues expressed as a percentage.
Reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

For more information see Note 15 “Share-Based Compensation” to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. |
(5) | Incremental costs associated with actual and potential acquisitions. |
Free Cash Flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, minus or plus, net cash used in or provided by investing activities, excluding acquisitions and certain transactions. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. We present free cash flow because we believe it provides useful information regarding our liquidity and ability to meet our short-term obligations. In particular, free cash flow indicates the amount of cash available after capital expenditures for, among other things, investments in our existing business, debt service obligations, payment of authorized quarterly dividends, repurchase of our common stock and strategic acquisitions.
Reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow is as follows:

Of the $153.5 million of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019, $123.3 million, or 80.3%, related to the Storage Solutions business and $30.2 million, or 19.7%, related to the Tank & Pump Solutions business. Of the $149.7 million of total revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, $120.4 million, or 80.4%, related to the Storage Solutions business and $29.3 million, or 19.6%, related to the Tank & Pump Solutions business.
Rental Revenues. Storage Solutions rental revenues increased 3.7% during the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the prior-year period. In constant currency, rental revenues increased 4.7%. This increase was driven by a 3.6% increase in year-over-year rental rates, as well as favorable mix and increases in delivery and pickup revenue, offset by a slight decrease in average units on rent on a consolidated basis. Average units on rent in North America were up slightly during the current-year quarter compared to the prior-year, while average units on rent in the U.K. were down 3.4%.
During 2018, we began to pursue partnerships with other rental companies to provide supplementary product offerings for certain of our Storage Solutions customers. Arranging these comprehensive managed rental services for our customers increases loyalty while generating additional revenue, without additional investment in fleet. While these revenues were not material for the third quarter of 2019 or 2018, we do expect to continue to develop these revenues. During the third quarter of 2019 we recognized $2.5 million of rental revenue related to managed service arrangements, compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Excluding revenues and units related to managed rental service arrangements, yield for the three months ended September 30, 2019 (calculated as rental revenues divided by average units on rent and adjusted to a 28-day period) increased 4.0%, or 5.0% in constant currency, as compared to the prior-year period. The increase was driven by higher rates overall, and in North America, favorable mix and increased delivery and pickup revenue.
42
Rental revenues within the Tank & Pump Solutions business increased $0.4 million, or 1.5%, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the prior-year period. Increased average fleet on rent combined with increased re-rent activity and slight increases in year-over-year rates were largely offset by changes in rental mix. Delivery, pickup and similar revenue was consistent with the prior-year period. Downstream activity continues to be solid overall with increased year-over-year rental revenue driven by the continued growth of business conducted under several large master service agreements signed in late 2017 and early 2018, as well as increased rates. These agreements were still in early stages in the third quarter of 2018 and are now implemented. Increased revenue related to these agreements more than offset decreased activity at certain of our downstream customers due to the completion of large-scale maintenance projects. Rental revenue related to upstream activity decreased compared to the prior-year period, while rental revenues from our diversified customers were up compared to the prior-year quarter as a result of increased project activity.
Sales Revenues. We focus on rental revenues. In general, sales of units from our fleet occur due to a particular customer need, or due to having fleet in excess of demand at a particular location. Storage Solutions sales revenue of $6.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 decreased $1.3 million, or 16.3%, compared to the prior-year period. Tank & Pump Solutions sales revenue of $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 increased $0.4 million from the prior-year period.

Rental, Selling and General Expenses. Rental, selling and general expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 of $91.4 million increased $0.6 million, or 0.7%, as compared to the prior-year period. As a percentage of total revenues, rental, selling and general expenses were 59.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, which was a decrease from 60.6% in the prior-year period.
Rental, selling and general expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 included $1.9 million of expense related to incremental costs associated with actual and potential acquisitions. Excluding these expenses, rental, selling and general expenses decreased $1.3 million, or 1.4% and as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 58.3%. In constant currency, consolidated rental, selling and general expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 0.6%.
Excluding the incremental costs associated with actual and potential acquisitions, Storage Solutions rental, selling and general expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $0.7 million. In constant currency rental, selling and general expense was flat as compared to the prior-year period. An increase in payroll costs, was largely offset by a decrease in short-term variable incentive plan expense. Additionally, decreased transportation costs offset higher administrative costs, including an increase in provision for doubtful accounts.
43
Rental, selling and general expenses for the Tank & Pump Solutions business decreased $0.6 million, or 3.0%, in the current-year quarter, as compared to the prior-year quarter. Increased payroll costs were more than offset by decreased short-term variable incentive plan expense and decreased third party transportation costs.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales is the cost related to our sales revenue only. Within the Storage Solutions business, cost of sales was $4.0 million and $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Storage Solutions sales revenue, less cost of sales (sales profit), was $2.4 million and $2.5 million for the three-months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Sales profit expressed as a percentage of sales revenue (sales profit margin) was 37.1% in the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and 32.1% in the prior-year quarter.
Within the Tank & Pump Solutions business, cost of sales was $0.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and $0.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. Tank & Pump Solutions sales profit was $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Asset Impairment Charge and Loss on Divestiture, Net. During the prior-year quarter we identified specific underperforming assets to classify as held for sale. As a result, we recognized a loss of $98.3 million in that period. See Note 7 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Total depreciation and amortization expense was $17.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $1.3 million, or 8.0%, as compared to the prior-year period.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $10.5 million in the prior-year period. This slight decrease is due primarily to an overall decrease in debt outstanding largely offset by a higher effective interest rate on our lines of credit. Our average debt outstanding in the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $895.9 million, compared to $923.4 million in the prior-year quarter. The weighted average interest rate on our debt was 4.4% and 4.3% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, excluding the amortization of deferred financing costs. Taking into account the amortization of deferred financing costs, the weighted average interest rate was 4.6% and 4.5% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes. During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, we had a $6.8 million provision for income taxes, compared to a benefit of $19.6 million in the prior-year quarter. Our effective income tax rate decreased to 23.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 27.3% for the prior-year quarter.
During the current-period quarter we had a $0.7 million benefit related to the true-up of a prior-year tax return. In the quarter ended September 30, 2018, we recognized a $2.6 million reduction in our provisional tax expense related to the impact of the U.S. federal tax reform enacted in the fourth quarter of 2017. Excluding the tax effect of the $98.3 million asset impairment charge and loss on divestiture discussed in Note 7 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the $2.6 million reduction to our provisional tax expense, our income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $7.4 million, and the tax rate was 28.0%.
Net Income. As a result of the income statement activity discussed above, we had net income of $22.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net loss of $52.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, we realized adjusted EBITDA of $61.7 million, an increase of $6.2 million. In constant currency, adjusted EBITDA increased $6.6 million, or 12.0%, as compared to adjusted EBITDA of $55.4 million in the prior-year period. The increase was generated by revenue growth in both our Storage Solutions and Tank & Pump Solutions business, combined with reduced rental, selling and general expenses, after adjusting for certain items. Our adjusted EBITDA margins were 40.2% and 37.0% for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, adjusted EBITDA related to the Storage Solutions business increased $5.0 million. In constant currency, adjusted EBITDA increased $5.4 million, or 11.7%, to $51.6 million from $46.2 million in the prior-year period. Increased adjusted EBITDA in North American Storage Solutions was partially offset by decreased Adjusted EBITDA in U.K. Storage Solutions. Adjusted EBITDA related to the Tank & Pump Solutions business increased $1.2 million, or 13.3%, to $10.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $9.3 million during the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margins for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 were 41.5% for the Storage Solutions business and 34.7% for the Tank & Pump Solutions business.

Of the $432.4 million of total revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, $347.5 million, or 80.4%, related to the Storage Solutions business and $84.9 million, or 19.6%, related to the Tank & Pump Solutions business.
Rental Revenues. Storage Solutions rental revenues increased 4.5% during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the prior-year period. In constant currency, rental revenues increased 5.6%. This increase was driven by a 3.2% increase in year-over-year rental rates and a slight increase in units on rent, as well as favorable mix and increases in delivery and pickup revenue.
During 2018, we began to pursue partnerships with other rental companies to provide supplementary product offerings for certain of our Storage Solutions customers. Arranging these comprehensive managed rental services for our customers increases loyalty while generating additional revenue, without additional investment in fleet. While these revenues were not material for the first nine months of 2019 or 2018, we do expect to continue to develop these revenues. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 we recognized $6.5 million of rental revenue related to managed service arrangements, compared to $3.2 million in the first nine months of 2018.
Excluding revenues and units related to managed rental service arrangements, yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased 3.5%, or 4.6% in constant currency as compared to the prior-year period, due primarily to increased rates and increased delivery and pickup revenue.
Rental revenues within the Tank & Pump Solutions business increased $8.8 million, or 10.9%, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the prior-year period. This increase was driven by an approximately 10.8% increase in fleet on rent for the current period and increased year-over-year rental rates. Additionally, delivery, pickup and similar revenue increased due to growth in areas such as equipment monitoring and other trucking services. In the downstream segment, increased year-over-year rental revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was driven by the continued growth of business conducted under several large master service agreements signed in late 2017 and early 2018, as well as increased rates. These agreements were still in early stages in the first nine months of 2018 and are now implemented. Within our upstream segment healthy year-over-year growth in the first six months of 2019 was offset by a year-over-year decrease in rental revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019, resulting in a slight increase in rental revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Rental revenues from our diversified customers were up compared to the prior-year period as a result of increased project activity.
Sales Revenues. We focus on rental revenues. In general, sales of units from our fleet occur due to a particular customer need, or due to having fleet in excess of demand at a particular location. Storage Solutions sales revenue of $19.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 decreased $2.8 million, or 12.8%, compared to the prior-year period. Tank & Pump Solutions sales revenue of $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $0.3 million from the prior-year period.

Total costs and expenses | | $ | 82,405 | | | $ | 80,009 | | | $ | 2,396 | | | | 3.0 | | |
Rental, Selling and General Expenses. Rental, selling and general expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $279.4 million increased $10.3 million, or 3.8%, as compared to the prior-year period. As a percentage of total revenues, rental, selling and general expenses were 61.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which was a decrease from 62.2% in the prior-year period. In the first nine months of 2019, we realized savings of approximately $4.1 million related to the 2018 fleet divestiture and new strengthened processes around fleet management.
Rental, selling and general expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included $3.6 million related to the amendment of certain stock award agreements in conjunction with the transition of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) to Chairman of the Board of Directors. In addition, we recognized $2.6 million of expense related to incremental costs associated with actual and potential acquisitions. Excluding these expenses, rental, selling and general expenses increased $4.1 million, or 1.5% and as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 60.2%.
Excluding the CEO transition expenses and the incremental costs associated with actual and potential acquisitions, Storage Solutions rental, selling and general expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $1.6 million. In constant currency rental, selling and general expense increased $3.9 million, or 1.9%, from the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to higher payroll costs. Decreased short-term variable incentive plan expense was partially offset by increased expense related to our long-term share-based incentive compensation plan, as well as an increase in bad debt expense.
Rental, selling and general expenses for the Tank & Pump Solutions business increased $2.5 million, or 4.5%, in the first nine months of 2019, as compared to the prior-year period. Increased payroll and maintenance costs to support the increased business was partially offset by decreased short-term variable incentive plan expense.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales is the cost related to our sales revenue only. Within the Storage Solutions business, cost of sales was $12.1 million and $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Storage Solutions sales profit was $6.9 million and $7.1 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Sales profit margin was 36.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 32.5% in the prior-year period.
Within the Tank & Pump Solutions business, cost of sales was $2.4 million compared to $2.2 million in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Tank & Pump Solutions sales profit was $1.9 million and $1.7 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
47
Asset Impairment Charge and Loss on Divestiture, Net. During the prior-year period we identified specific underperforming assets to classify as held for sale. As a result, we recognized a loss of $98.3 million in that period. See Note 7 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Total depreciation and amortization expense was $53.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $2.8 million, or 5.5%, as compared to the prior-year period.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was $31.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $30.2 million in the prior-year period. This increase is due to a higher effective interest rate on our lines of credit, partially offset by an overall decrease in debt outstanding. Our average debt outstanding in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $895.0 million, compared to $921.5 million in the prior-year period. The weighted average interest rate on our debt was 4.5% and 4.1% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, excluding the amortization of deferred financing costs. Taking into account the amortization of deferred financing costs, the weighted average interest rate was 4.7% and 4.4% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had a $19.8 million provision for income taxes, compared to an $11.2 million benefit in the prior-year period. Our effective income tax rate decreased to 26.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 33.4% for the prior-year period.
Our current-year rate was affected by non-deductible stock compensation of $3.6 million recorded in the current nine-month period, largely offset by a $0.7 million benefit related to a federal tax return true up. See additional information regarding the non-deductible stock compensation in Note 15.
The prior-year effective tax was impacted by the $98.3 million asset impairment charge and loss on divestiture. Additionally, in the prior-year period, we recognized a $2.9 million benefit resulting from the reduction of provisional tax expense related to the U.S. federal tax reform enacted in 2017, as well as benefits related to state tax rate changes enacted in the third quarter of 2018. These tax benefits had the effect of increasing the effective tax rate due to the $33.5 million pre-tax loss recognized during the nine-month period. Excluding the tax affects of the $98.3 million asset impairment charge and loss on divestiture, $1.3 million of restructuring expenses, as well as the $2.9 million reduction to our provisional tax expense, our income tax provision was $16.2 million, and the tax rate was 24.4%
Net (Loss) Income. As a result of the income statement activity discussed above, we had net income of $54.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to a net loss of $22.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019, we realized adjusted EBITDA of $174.8 million, an increase of $20.8 million. In constant currency, adjusted EBITDA increased $22.0 million, or 14.3%, as compared to adjusted EBITDA of $154.0 million in the prior-year period. The increase was generated by strong revenue growth in both our Storage Solutions and Tank & Pump Solutions business, and was partially offset by overall increased rental, selling and general expenses. Our adjusted EBITDA margins were 38.6% and 35.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, adjusted EBITDA related to the Storage Solutions business increased $14.1 million. In constant currency, adjusted EBITDA increased $15.3 million, or 12.0%, to $143.1 million from $127.8 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA related to the Tank & Pump Solutions business increased $6.7 million, or 25.8%, to $32.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from $26.2 million during the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margins for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were 39.5% for the Storage Solutions business and 35.0% for the Tank & Pump Solutions business.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Renting is a capital-intensive business that requires us to acquire assets before they generate revenues, cash flow and earnings. The majority of the assets that we rent have very long useful lives and require relatively little maintenance expenditures. Most of the capital we have deployed in our rental business historically has been used to expand our operations geographically, execute opportunistic acquisitions, increase the number of units available for rent at our existing locations, and add to the mix of products we offer. During recent years, our operations have generated annual cash flow that exceeds our pre-tax earnings, particularly due to cash flow from operations and the deferral of income taxes caused by accelerated depreciation of our fixed assets in our tax return filings. Our strong cash flows from operating activities for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 of $151.9 million and $116.2 million, respectively, resulted in free cash flow of $92.0 million and $48.0 million, respectively. In addition to free cash flow, our principal current source of liquidity is our revolving credit facility as described below.
48
Revolving Credit Facility. On March 22, 2019, Mobile Mini and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Second Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement dated as of March 22, 2019 (the “New Credit Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (“Deutsche Bank”), as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The New Credit Agreement amends, restates and replaces Mobile Mini’s existing Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement dated as of December 14, 2015 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank, as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto.
The New Credit Agreement provides for a five year, $1 billion first lien senior secured revolving credit facility, maturing on or before March 22, 2024. The New Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of irrevocable standby letters of credit by U.S.-based lenders in amounts totaling up to $50.0 million, by U.K.-based lenders in amounts totaling up to $20.0 million, and by Canadian-based lenders in amounts totaling up to $20.0 million.
Our and our subsidiary guarantors’ obligations under the New Credit Agreement are secured by a blanket lien on substantially all of our assets. At September 30, 2019, we had $584.0 million of borrowings outstanding and $412.9 million of additional borrowing availability under the New Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with the terms of the New Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2019 and were above the minimum borrowing availability threshold and, therefore, are not subject to any financial maintenance covenants.
We believe our cash provided by operating activities will provide for our normal capital needs for the next twelve months. If not, we have sufficient borrowings available under our New Credit Agreement to meet any additional funding requirements. We monitor the financial strength of our lenders on an ongoing basis using publicly-available information. Based upon that information, we do not presently believe that there is a likelihood that any of our lenders will be unable to honor their respective commitments under the New Credit Agreement.
Senior Notes. The 2024 Notes, issued on May 9, 2016, bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per year, have an eight-year term and mature on July 1, 2024. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1. The 2024 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $151.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $116.2 million in the prior-year period, an increase of $35.7 million. The increase was driven by growth in our underlying business and changes in certain assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities was increased by $14.2 million and reduced by $4.5 million related to changes in certain assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Decreased accounts receivable resulted in an $18.7 million increase in cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Investing Activities. The amount of cash that we use during any period in investing activities is almost entirely within management’s discretion. In addition to our expenditures for our rental fleet, capital expenditures include items such as the cost to buy or replace forklifts, trucks and trailers that we use to move and deliver our products to our customers, and for our computer
49
information and communication systems. Net cash used in investing activities was $64.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $64.7 million in the prior-year period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we made one tuck-in acquisition for $4.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we received $3.5 million related to the sale of assets held for sale.
Rental fleet expenditures were as follows for the periods indicated:
| | Additions to Rental Fleet, Excluding Acquisitions for the Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
| | 2019 | | | 2018 | |
| | (In thousands) | |
North America Storage Solutions | | $ | 39,114 | | | $ | 39,400 | |
United Kingdom Storage Solutions | | | 3,657 | | | | 5,805 | |
Tank & Pump Solutions | | | 18,476 | | | | 20,415 | |
Consolidated additions to rental fleet, excluding acquisitions | | | 61,247 | | | | 65,620 | |
Proceeds from sale of rental fleet | | | (10,782 | ) | | | (11,447 | ) |
Rental fleet net capital expenditures | | $ | 50,465 | | | $ | 54,173 | |
Rental fleet expenditures were $61.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $4.4 million compared to the prior-year period. Expenditures for rental fleet were made to meet overall increases in Tank & Pump Solutions demand as well as for North American Storage Solutions. Proceeds of $10.8 million from the sale of rental fleet units for the first nine months of 2019 were consistent with the first nine months of 2018. In general, sales of units from our fleet occur due to a particular customer need, or due to having fleet in excess of rental demand at a particular location; as such, the proceeds from sale of rental units will normally fluctuate from period to period.
Gross capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment were $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $14.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. The current and prior-year periods include hardware and software-related costs of approximately $4.0 million and $5.6 million, respectively, largely driven by our ongoing technology innovations.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $85.2 million, compared to $61.1 million for the prior-year period. In the current-year period, we repaid $9.5 million under our lines of credit and paid $3.5 million of deferred financing costs primarily related to the New Credit Agreement. Also, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we paid $36.9 million of dividends and purchased $29.5 million of treasury stock, of which $28.4 million were purchased under our authorized share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2019, we have $42.4 million remaining available for stock repurchases under our authorized share repurchase program. In the prior-year period, we repaid $24.1 million under our lines of credit and paid $33.3 million of dividends.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
Our contractual obligations primarily consist of our outstanding balance under the New Credit Agreement, the principal amount of the 2024 Notes and obligations under finance leases. We also have operating lease liabilities for: (i) real estate properties for the majority of our locations with remaining lease terms typically ranging from one to five years, (ii) delivery, transportation and yard equipment, typically under a seven-year lease with purchase options at the end of the lease term at a stated or fair market value price, and (iii) office related equipment.
At September 30, 2019, primarily in connection with securing our insurance policies, we have provided certain insurance carriers and others with approximately $3.1 million in letters of credit. We currently do not have any material obligations under purchase agreements or commitments.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS
We do not maintain any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or others that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
50
SEASONALITY
Demand from our Storage Solutions customers is somewhat seasonal. Construction customers typically reflect higher demand during months with more temperate weather, while demand for our Storage Solutions units by large retailers is stronger from September through December because these retailers need to store more inventories for the holiday season. Our retail customers usually return these rented units to us in December and early in the following year. In the Tank & Pump Solutions business, demand from customers is typically higher in the middle of the year from March to October, driven by the timing of customer maintenance projects. The demand for rental of our pumps may also be impacted by weather, specifically when temperatures drop below freezing.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting policies and management estimates and significant accounting policies are included in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations’ section and in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

| • | any changes in business, political and economic conditions due to the threat of future terrorist activity in the U.S. and other parts of the world and related U.S. military action overseas; and |
| • | our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets. |
We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
In addition to the information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 under the heading “Risk Factors.”
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk. As of September 30, 2019, we had $584.0 million of indebtedness under our New Credit Agreement, which bears interest at variable rates. Our average interest rate applicable to our revolving credit agreements was 4.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Based upon the average amount of our variable rate debt of $583.8 million outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our annual interest expense would increase by approximately $5.8 million for each one percentage point increase in the interest rate of our lines of credit.
Impact of Foreign Currency Rate Changes. We currently have operations outside the U.S., and we bill those customers primarily in their local currency, which is subject to foreign currency rate changes. Our operations in Canada are billed in the Canadian Dollar, and our operations in the U.K. are billed in British Pounds. We are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of our non-U.S. operations are translated into U.S. dollars. The impact of foreign currency rate changes has historically been insignificant with our Canadian operations, but we have more exposure to volatility with our U.K. operations. Based on the level of our U.K. operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a 10% change in the value of the British Pound as compared to the U.S. dollar would have changed net income by approximately $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We do not currently hedge our currency transaction or translation exposure, nor do we have any current plans to do so.
On June 23, 2016, the U.K. voted to leave the European Union (the “E.U.”) in a referendum vote that continues to have unknown social, geopolitical and economic impacts (“Brexit”). The terms of the U.K.’s withdrawal remain highly uncertain, which has impacted their economy, and the chances of a no-deal Brexit cannot be ruled out. As the Brexit terms and their impact become clear, we may adjust our U.K. strategy and operations accordingly. In order to help minimize our exchange rate gain and loss volatility, we finance our U.K. entities through our revolving credit facility, which allows us, at our option, to borrow funds locally in British Pound denominated debt. In the longer term, any impact from Brexit on us will depend, in part, on the outcome of tariff, trade, regulatory and other negotiations. Although it is unknown what the result of those negotiations will be, it is possible that new terms may adversely affect our operations and financial results.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
