Nesco Holdings, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2019 Financial Results
FORT WAYNE, Ind., March 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Nesco Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NSCO, "Nesco" or the "Company"), a leading provider of specialty rental equipment to the electric utility, telecom, and rail infrastructure end-markets, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2019.
FULL YEAR 2019 HIGHLIGHTS
- Total revenue of $264.0 million (+7.2% from 2018)
- Equipment rental revenue of $182.7 million (+5.5% from 2018)
- Equipment sales revenue of $34.1 million (-23.2% from 2018)
- Parts, tools, and accessories revenue of $47.2 million (+64.8% from 2018)
- Consolidated net loss of $27.1 million (includes $15.9 million of transaction and process improvement costs)
- Adjusted EBITDA of $127.5 million (+4.8% from 2018)
- Adjusted EBITDA including a full year of Truck Utilities of $134.5 million
- Closed acquisition of Truck Utilities on November 4, 2019
Lee Jacobson, Chief Executive Officer of Nesco, said, "The fourth quarter capped off another year of solid growth for Nesco. Our core specialty rental equipment remains in high demand in each of our end-markets, as evidenced by more than 8% year-over-year equipment rental revenue growth in the fourth quarter, excluding the impact from Truck Utilities and another quarter of record equipment on rent, which is also up more than 8% year-over-year in the fourth quarter. Parts, tools and accessories segment revenue increased more than 70% on a year-over-year basis in the fourth quarter, excluding Truck Utilities, driven by a combination of new regional locations and increased spend within our equipment rental customer base."
"Demand within our core electrical transmission and distribution, telecom and rail end markets remain robust," continued Jacobson. "Our largest contractor customers reported another quarter of record, or near record, revenue backlogs in our core end markets and our average customer rental contract period exceeded 13 months for most of 2019, a record for Nesco. Looking ahead, we expect 2020 will be a period of strong growth for our business. Our recent investment in new fleet will allow us to capture many previously lost rental opportunities due to equipment availability. We will also benefit from the investment we made in expanding our parts, tools and accessories service locations from two to seven in 2019 and one additional expected in 2020; and a full year of contribution from the Truck Utilities acquisition. We plan to take a measured approach toward capital spending in 2020 in order to generate positive free cash flow, reduce leverage and focus on maintaining high fleet utilization."
FULL YEAR 2019 RESULTS
Total Revenue
Total revenue in 2019 was $264.0 million, an increase of $17.7 million, or 7.2%, from 2018. Excluding equipment sales, revenue grew $28.0 million or 13.9%, from 2018. Truck Utilities contributed $8.5 million to revenue since the acquisition was completed in November 2019, split nearly evenly between both the Equipment Rental and Sales ("ERS") and Parts Tools and Accessories ("PTA") segments.
ERS segment revenue declined 0.4% to $216.8 million in 2019, compared to $217.6 million for the same period in 2018. Equipment rental revenue increased 5.5% to $182.7 million, primarily due to a 6.1% increase in average equipment on rent, which grew to $477.5 million in 2019, compared to $450.2 million in 2018. Fleet utilization was 80.7% in 2019, compared to 82.3% in 2018. After adjusting for new units that have not yet entered into service, Truck Utilities and the prior year's benefit from storm recovery in Puerto Rico, utilization was down 0.4% year-over-year. Equipment sales revenue of $34.1 million was a reduction from the prior year of $10.3 million or 23.2% leading to an overall decline in ERS revenue for the year. Equipment sales can be lumpy in nature, but any timing difference that may reduce used sales provides Nesco with the opportunity to continue to rent this equipment.
PTA segment revenue grew 64.8% to $47.2 million in 2019, compared to $28.7 million in 2018. PTA revenue growth was driven by increased penetration of Nesco's equipment rental customer base and a ramping of revenues at the new PTA locations.
Net Loss
The Company reported a net loss in 2019 of $27.1 million, compared to a net loss of $15.5 million for the same period in 2018. The year-over-year increase in net loss was primarily driven by a $13.3 million increase in deal-related transaction and business acquisition expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA increased $5.8 million, or 4.8%, from $121.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 to $127.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA including a full year of Truck Utilities was $134.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The year over year increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by an $11.6 million, or 8.6%, increase in core rental gross profit, excluding depreciation to $147.2 million ($76.6 million, including depreciation), compared to $135.5 million ($71.4 million, including depreciation) in 2018. This increase was partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due largely to increased expenses related to becoming a public company.
FOURTH QUARTER 2019 RESULTS
Total Revenue
Total revenue in the fourth quarter was $77.2 million, an increase of $8.6 million or 12.5% from the fourth quarter 2018. Excluding equipment sales, revenue grew $14.4 million or 27.6% from the fourth quarter 2018. Truck Utilities contributed $8.5 million to revenue since the acquisition was completed in November 2019, split nearly evenly between both segments.
ERS segment revenue declined 1.2% to $60.8 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $61.5 million for the same period in 2018. Equipment rental revenue increased 11.3% (or 8.1% excluding Truck Utilities) to $50.0 million. This growth is primarily due to a 10.0% increase in average equipment on rent, which grew to $508.7 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $462.4 million in the same quarter of 2018. Fleet utilization was 81.5% in the fourth quarter compared to 83.5% in the same period of 2018. After adjusting for new units that have not yet entered into service and Truck Utilities, utilization was approximately flat year-over-year. The Company's average rental rate per day was $138 and $140 in the fourth quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company continues to realize gains in pricing by product line, but average reported rate remains relatively constant due to a changing fleet mix as a result of increased investment in relatively lower cost telecom and rail equipment. Equipment sales revenue of $10.8 million was a reduction from the prior year quarter of 34.9% (or 51.7% excluding Truck Utilities) leading to an overall decline in ERS revenue for the quarter.
PTA segment revenue grew 129.9% (or 70.6% excluding Truck Utilities) to $16.4 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 2018. PTA revenue growth was driven by increased penetration of Nesco's equipment rental customer base and a ramping of revenues at the newer PTA locations.
Net Loss
The Company reported net income in the fourth quarter of $3.1 million, compared to a net loss of $3.4 million for the same period in 2018. The year-over-year increase in net earnings was primarily driven by an income tax benefit of $7.3 million due to tax valuation allowance reductions from the rental equipment acquired in the Truck Utilities acquisition.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA increased slightly to $35.6 million, as compared to the same period in 2018. Adjusted EBITDA reflects a $4.5 million or 12.5% increase in core rental gross profit excluding depreciation to $40.8 million ($21.5 million, including depreciation), compared to $36.3 million ($18.7 million, including depreciation) in 2018. This increase was partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due largely to increased expenses related to becoming a public company.
Liquidity and Capitalization
On March 10, 2020, the Company completed an increase in the size of its asset-based lending facility from $350 million to $385 million with the addition of MUFG Bank, Ltd. as a new lender under the facility. Nesco made significant investments in its fleet and acquired Truck Utilities in 2019. The increase in facility size expands liquidity, enabling continued flexibility for Nesco to grow its fleet and opportunistically pursue mergers and acquisitions.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had total cash of $6.3 million and availability on its asset-based lending facility of $96.9 million, which does not reflect the impact of the increased size of the asset-based facility. Total debt outstanding, including capital leases, was $756.6 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2019.
Investing Activities
Average fleet count increased to 4,172 units in 2019, from 3,839 units in 2018. Total purchases of rental fleet and property and equipment in 2019 was $109.7 million, including $36.7 million of maintenance expenditures and $73.0 million of growth expenditures. Nesco accelerated the timing of some capital expenditures planned for 2020 into the fourth quarter of 2019 in order to capture potential upside from market demand in 2019 and is reducing 2020 target capital expenditures as a result. The Company received $28.5 million from sale of rental equipment and parts and insurance proceeds from damaged equipment in 2019, resulting in total net capital expenditures of $81.3 million.
FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
The Company's current expectations for the full year 2020 are as follows:
- Total revenue of $330 to $360 million (25% to 36% growth)
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $142 to $154 million (11% to 21% growth)
- Net capital expenditures (after proceeds from equipment sales)(2) of $45 to $55 million

NEW INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBER
On March 2, 2020, the Company announced that it had appointed Gerard E. Holthaus to serve as an independent director. Mr. Holthaus is the non-executive Chairman of the Board of WillScot Corp, a leading provider of modular space solutions in North America. He is the former non-executive chairman of Algeco Scotsman Global S.à.r.l., the leading global provider of modular space solutions. He previously served as executive chairman and CEO of Algeco Scotsman, where he was responsible for its North American and European operations, and as executive chairman, president and CEO of WSII prior to its acquisition by Algeco Scotsman in 2007. Mr. Holthaus is also a former director of BakerCorp International, Inc. and Neff Corporation, two equipment rental companies that completed strategic sales. Mr. Holthaus is also currently Non-Executive Chairman of FTI Consulting.
"As Nesco continues to grow so does the breadth and expertise of our board, and we are eager to welcome Gerry's voice and insight to the organization. Gerry brings a proven track record of success in the specialty equipment rental arena most recently as Chairman of WillScot. His specialty rental industry expertise is complemented by his strong financial background and makes him a perfect addition to our board," said William Plummer, Chairman of the Board.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company uses a variety of operational and financial metrics, including non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, fleet utilization, original equipment cost on rent, among other metrics, to enable it to analyze its performance and financial condition. The Company utilizes these financial measures to manage its business on a day-to-day basis and believes that they are the most relevant measures of performance. Some of these measures are commonly used in the specialty rentals industry to evaluate performance. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide expanded insight to assess revenue and cost performance, in addition to the standard GAAP-based financial measures. There are no specific rules or regulations for determining non-GAAP measures, and as such, they may not be comparable to measures used by other companies within the industry. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The definitions of non-GAAP financial measures along with a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information to GAAP are included in the supplemental financial schedules.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and further adjusted for (1) non-cash purchase accounting impact, (2) transaction and process improvement costs, including the effect of the cessation of operations in Mexico, (3) major repairs, (4) share-based payments, (5) other non-recurring items, and (6) the change in fair value of derivative instruments. This non-GAAP measure is subject to certain limitations. |
|
(1) |
Represents the non-cash impact of purchase accounting, net of accumulated depreciation, on the cost of equipment sold. The equipment acquired received a purchase step-up in basis, which is a non-cash adjustment to the equipment cost pursuant to the credit agreement governing the Company's asset-based lending facility (the "credit agreement"). |
(2) |
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, represents transaction costs related to the agreement and plan of merger with Capitol, which are comprised of professional consultancy fees, transaction costs, and the loss on extinguishment of debt. Additionally, pursuant to the credit agreement, the cost of undertakings to effect such cost savings, operating expense reductions and other synergies, as well as any expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions, are amounts to be included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. For the year ended December 31, 2019, these costs include startup expenses associated with the new PTA locations (which include training, travel, and process setup costs), transaction expenses related to the acquisition of Truck Utilities, Inc. and expenses associated with the Company's closure of its Mexican equipment rental and sales operations. |
(3) |
Represents the undepreciated cost of replaced chassis components from heavy maintenance, repair and overhaul activities associated with our fleet, which is an adjustment pursuant to our credit agreement. |
(4) |
Represents non-cash stock compensation expense associated with the issuance of stock options and restricted stock units in 2019 and the Class B Profits Interest Awards by NESCO Holdings, LP (our ultimate parent) on February 26, 2014, which is an adjustment pursuant to our credit agreement. |
(5) |
For the year ended December 31, 2018, represents other adjustments pursuant to the credit agreement: Rental expense incurred in 2018 for fleet equipment that had been rented under the terms of an operating lease that was terminated in 2018. |
(6) |
Represents the charge to earnings for our interest rate collar (which is an undesignated hedge) in the year ended December 31, 2019. |

OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL METRICS
Average equipment on rent is the average original equipment cost of units on rent during the period. The measure provides a value dimension to the fleet utilization statistics. This metric has been adjusted to exclude Mexico, for which the Company commenced exit activities in 2019.
Average fleet count is the average number of units in the fleet during the period. This metric has been adjusted to exclude Mexico, for which the Company commenced exit activities in 2019.
Average fleet utilization for the period is calculated as the total number of invoiced days divided by the total number of available equipment days. This metric has been adjusted to exclude Mexico, for which the Company commenced exit activities in the third quarter of 2019.
Average rental rate per day for the period is calculated as total rental revenue excluding freight and damaged billings divided by the total rental days, which represents the number of billable days in the period aggregated across all units in the fleet. This metric has been adjusted to exclude Mexico, for which the Company commenced exit activities in 2019.
