CEO Comments
Erik Olsson, Mobile Mini’s Chief Executive Officer, remarked, “I am very pleased with our performance and profitability in the first quarter, including our 15.8% increase in adjusted EBITDA. Our Tank & Pump division is starting to show its real potential and delivered 35.3% growth in adjusted EBITDA with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 34.9%, which was a 520 basis point increase over last year. Our North America Storage Solutions business is also very healthy, with year-over-year rate increases of 3.2% on our core business coupled with a 2% increase in units on rent. In the United Kingdom, where Brexit continues to cause uncertainty in the general economy, we managed to increase rates and grow trucking and ancillary revenues to offset a small decrease in units on rent, resulting in increased rental revenues in local currency.”
Mr. Olsson continued, “Our outlook remains very positive for the remainder of 2019. In our Tank & Pump business, we have demonstrated to our customers that we provide outstanding service and product, along with technology tools that deliver improved customer efficiency. We believe we are positioned to capitalize on the growth in demand throughout this industry and gain additional business with existing and new customers. Pending orders in the North American Storage Solutions segment remain well above the prior-year at this time and the pipeline remains solid. Overall, North American economic indicators are positive and, for 2019 rental revenue growth we expect to exceed our Evergreen target, while delivering margin expansion, strong free cash flow and meaningful de-leveraging.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information

These financial measures are not recognized measures under GAAP and they are not intended to be and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow and constant currency financial information are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies.

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share. Adjusted net income and related earnings per share information exclude certain transactions that management believes are not indicative of our business. We believe that the inclusion of this non-GAAP presentation makes it easier to compare our financial performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis.
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, including share-based compensation, as well as transactions that management believes are not indicative of our 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 useful information regarding our ability to meet our future debt payment requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements and an overall evaluation of our financial condition. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have certain limitations as analytical tools and should not be used as substitutes for net income, cash flows from operations, 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, respectively, divided by total revenues expressed as a percentage.
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 small acquisitions.
Constant Currency. We calculate the effect of currency fluctuations on current periods by translating the results for our business in the U.K. during the current period using the average exchange rates from the comparative period. We present constant currency information to provide useful information to assess our underlying business excluding the effect of material foreign currency rate fluctuations. Calculated in constant currency, our rental revenues and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $1.3 million and $0.4 million higher than when calculated in accordance with GAAP.
