Custom Truck One Source, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Results

KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 04, 2025-- 

Custom Truck One Source, Inc. $(CTOS)$, a leading provider of specialty equipment to the electric utility, telecom, rail, and other infrastructure-related end markets, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

CTOS Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Highlights

   -- Total quarterly revenue of $520.7 million, an increase of $73.5 million 
      or 16.4%, compared to the third quarter of 2024 
 
   -- Full-year revenue of $1,802.3 million, a decrease of 3.4%, compared to 
      2023 
 
   -- Quarterly net income of $27.6 million, compared to a net loss of $17.4 
      million for the third quarter of 2024 
 
   -- Full-year net loss of $28.7 million compared to 2023 net income of $50.7 
      million 
 
   -- Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA of $102.0 million, an increase of $21.8 million 
      or 27.2%, compared to the third quarter of 2024 
 
   -- Full-year Adjusted EBITDA of $339.7 million, a decrease of $87.3 million, 
      or 20.4%, compared to 2023 full-year record Adjusted EBITDA of $426.9 
      million 

"In the fourth quarter, we achieved sequential improvement in revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA, driven by continued strong fundamentals across our primary end markets: utility, infrastructure, rail, and telecom. The significant improvements in our core T&D markets that we experienced in the third quarter continued into the fourth quarter, which led to noted sequential increases in rental revenue and rental asset sales within our ERS segment. For the quarter, our rental fleet saw average utilization of just under 79%, the highest quarter of the year and the highest since the third quarter of 2023. We ended the year with total OEC of $1.52 billion, the highest in our history, which should support our expected growth within ERS in 2025," said Ryan McMonagle, Chief Executive Officer of CTOS. "TES experienced record quarterly and annual revenue, exceeding $300 million and $1 billion, respectively, for the first time, up more than 16% on a sequential quarterly basis and 6% for the full year. Anticipated seasonal trends, as well as sustained robust demand for vocational vehicles across our end markets continued to drive record performance within the TES segment in the quarter. We believe that the current pace of customer orders and our existing TES backlog are sufficient to achieve the growth we expect in the segment this year. We are optimistic about fiscal 2025 and believe CTOS is well-positioned to benefit from secular tailwinds driven by data center investments, manufacturing onshoring, electrification, and utility grid upgrades. We made progress reducing our inventory in the fourth quarter, with inventory declining more than $150 million, which sets us up well for 2025, as we remain focused on working capital management, free cash flow generation and deleveraging," McMonagle added.

Management Commentary

Consolidated total revenue increased on a sequential quarter basis by $73.5 million, to $520.7 million, driven by higher levels of new truck sales and equipment on rent. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, total revenue was flat. Rental revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased 4.3% to $125.5 million, compared to $120.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. New and used equipment sales decreased 2.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to $359.3 million, compared to $367.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

ERS segment rental revenue and rental equipment sales revenue increased by $15.5 million (14.8%) and $6.0 million (13.2%), respectively, on a sequential quarter basis, driven by improvements in equipment uptakes for transmission and distribution job starts. Average OEC on rent and utilization each improved sequentially by 11.9% and 7.8%, respectively, with average OEC on rent growth of $128.4 million and average utilization improving to 78.9% in the quarter. ERS segment rental revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $120.9 million compared to $116.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, a 3.7% increase. Used equipment sales decreased 24.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024 to $51.6 million compared to $68.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. ERS gross profit improved $14.0 million (32.9%) on a sequential quarter basis, to $56.6 million. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, ERS gross profit declined from $63.4 million to $56.6 million. Adjusted Gross Profit improved sequentially to $104.8 million compared to $87.5 million. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, Ending OEC increased by $59.8 million as our fleet additions outpaced disposals of equipment from our rental fleet. With an average fleet unit age of 3.2 years, down from 3.5 years at the end of last year, we believe our fleet is well positioned to capitalize from continuing strong rental demand.

TES segment revenue increased by $47.8 million (18.4%) on a sequential quarter basis to $307.7 million. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, revenue in our TES segment in the fourth quarter of 2024 increased 2.9%. This increase was driven primarily by robust demand for our products in the forestry and utility end-markets. Gross profit decreased by 3.6% to $51.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $52.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. TES saw a reduction in backlog of 46.4% to $368.8 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of the impact of an improved supply chain and availability of most products. As of the end of the fourth quarter, our new sales backlog represented more than four months of new equipment sales, which is in our historical normal range of four to six months.

APS segment revenue increased by $4.1 million (11.3%) on a sequential quarter basis to $40.6 million. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, revenue in our APS segment in the fourth quarter of 2024 increased by $2.4 million (6.2%). Gross profit margin was flat at 27.0% in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.

During 2024, the Company closed on a sale leaseback transaction with an unrelated third party. Under this transaction, the Company sold eight properties with a combined net book value of $29.0 million for gross proceeds of $53.8 million, which was reduced by transaction costs and other fees of $1.3 million, for net cash proceeds of approximately $52.5 million, which were used to reduce borrowings under the senior secured credit facility and to repay a note payable related to one of the properties. The Company recognized a gain of $23.5 million on this transaction, which is included in gain on sale leaseback transaction in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Net income was $27.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $16.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in net income is primarily the result of the gain on a sale leaseback transaction that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by higher interest expense on variable-rate debt and floor plan liabilities.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $102.0 million, an increase of $21.8 million (27.2%) on a sequential quarter basis. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, the $16.3 million (13.8%) decrease in Adjusted EBITDA from $118.4 million was largely driven by a decline in used equipment sales in our ERS segment. Adjusted EBITDA also decreased due to higher costs associated with variable-rate floor plan liabilities as a result of higher interest rates and inventory levels.

As of December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents was $3.8 million. Total Debt outstanding was $1,547.7 million, Net debt was $1,543.8 million and Net Leverage Ratio was 4.5 times as of December 31, 2024. Availability under the senior secured credit facility was $364.0 million as of December 31, 2024, and based on our borrowing base, we have an additional $158.3 million of availability that we can potentially utilize by upsizing our existing facility.

2025 Outlook

We are providing our full-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1, 4) guidance for 2025 at this time. We expect 2025 to be a return to growth. We believe TES will continue to benefit from an overall good macro demand environment as well as our strong relationships with our key customers, and chassis and attachment suppliers. After unexpected volatility in our ERS segment rental markets in 2024, primarily in the transmission and distribution utility market, we began to experience a return to strong demand in the second half of fiscal year 2024, that has continued into 2025. Coupled with our efforts to further penetrate the vocational rental market, we believe the ERS outlook from our rental customers for long-term demand and growth will be strong. As a result, we expect to further grow our rental fleet (based on net OEC) by mid-single digits. Regarding TES, further supply chain improvements, healthy, but improved inventory levels exiting 2024, and normalized backlog levels will continue to allow us to produce and deliver even more units again in 2025. Further, as we have begun to make progress on unwinding our significant strategic investment in inventory levels over the last two years, we expect to generate meaningful free cash flow in 2025, setting a target to generate $50 million to $100 million of levered free cashflow(2, 4) and deliver a meaningful reduction in our net leverage ratio(3, 4) to below four times by the end of the fiscal year. "After a somewhat unpredictable 2024, including the uncertainties relating to a high-interest rate environment and the Presidential election, our fiscal year 2025 outlook again reflects the long-term strength of our end markets, our strong strategic and competitive positioning, and the continued focus by our teams to profitably grow our business," said Ryan McMonagle, Chief Executive Officer of CTOS.

1    Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure that we use to monitor 
     our results of operations, to measure performance against debt covenants 
     and performance relative to competitors. Refer to the section below 
     entitled, "Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures" for further 
     information about Adjusted EBITDA. 
2    Levered Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating 
     activities, less cash flow for investing activities, excluding 
     acquisitions, plus acquisition of inventory through floor plan payables 
     -- non-trade less repayment of floor plan payables -- non-trade, both of 
     which are included in cash flow from financing activities in our 
     Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 
3    Net leverage ratio is a non-GAAP performance measure used by management, 
     and we believe it provides useful information to investors because it is 
     an important measure to evaluate our debt levels and progress toward 
     leverage targets, which is consistent with the manner our lenders and 
     management use this measure. Refer to the section below entitled 
     "Non-GAAP Financial and Performance Measures" for further information 
     about net leverage ratio. 
4    CTOS is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of its 
     forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, Levered Free Cash Flow, and Net Leverage 
     Ratio for the year ending December 31, 2025 to their respective most 
     directly comparable GAAP financial measure due to the high variability 
     and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect such GAAP measures 
     including, but not limited to, customer buyout requests on rentals with 
     rental purchase options and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA, Levered 
     Free Cash Flow, and Net Leverage Ratio should not be used to predict 
     their respective most directly comparable GAAP measure as the differences 
     between the respective measures are variable and unpredictable.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES

In our press release and schedules, and on the related conference call, we report certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We utilize these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis and some of these measures are commonly used in our industry to evaluate performance by excluding items considered to be non-recurring. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors expanded insight to assess performance, in addition to the standard GAAP-based financial measures. The press release schedules reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure that we refer to. Although management evaluates and presents these non-GAAP measures for the reasons described herein, please be aware that these non-GAAP measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, operating income/loss, net income/loss, earnings/loss per share or any other comparable measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, we may calculate and/or present these non-GAAP financial measures differently than measures with the same or similar names that other companies report, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure that we use to monitor our results of operations, to measure performance against debt covenants and performance relative to competitors. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it allows for an effective evaluation of operating performance, without regard to financing methods or capital structures. We exclude the items identified in the reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts are either non-recurring or can vary substantially within the industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, including the method by which the assets were acquired, and capital structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historical costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that results will be unaffected by the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and other items that we do not view as indicative of ongoing performance. Our Adjusted EBITDA includes an adjustment to exclude the effects of purchase accounting adjustments when calculating the cost of inventory and used equipment sold. When inventory or equipment is purchased in connection with a business combination, the assets are revalued to their current fair values for accounting purposes. The consideration transferred (i.e., the purchase price) in a business combination is allocated to the fair values of the assets as of the acquisition date, with amortization or depreciation recorded thereafter following applicable accounting policies; however, this may not be indicative of the actual cost to acquire inventory or new equipment that is added to product inventory or the rental fleets apart from a business acquisition. We also include an adjustment to remove the impact of accounting for certain of our rental contracts with customers containing a rental purchase option that are accounted for under GAAP as a sales-type lease. We include this adjustment because we believe continuing to reflect the transactions as an operating lease better reflects the economics of the transactions given our large portfolio of rental contracts. These, and other, adjustments to GAAP net income or loss that are applied to derive Adjusted EBITDA are specified by our senior secured credit agreement and the indenture of our senior secured notes.

Adjusted Gross Profit. We present total gross profit excluding rental equipment depreciation ("Adjusted Gross Profit") as a non-GAAP financial performance measure. This measure differs from the GAAP definition of gross profit, as we do not include the impact of depreciation expense, which represents non-cash expense. We use this measure to evaluate operating margins and the effectiveness of the cost of our rental fleet.

Net Debt. We present the non-GAAP financial measure "Net Debt," which is total debt (the most comparable GAAP measure, calculated as current and long-term debt, excluding deferred financing fees, plus current and long-term finance lease obligations) minus cash and cash equivalents. We believe this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors to evaluate our financial position.

Net Leverage Ratio. Net leverage ratio is a non-GAAP performance measure used by management and we believe it provides useful information to investors because it is an important measure to evaluate our debt levels and progress toward leverage targets, which is consistent with the manner our lenders and management use this measure. We define net leverage ratio as net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), as adjusted for provision for income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation of rental equipment and non-rental depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the impact of the fair value mark-up of acquired rental fleet, business acquisition and merger-related costs, including integration, the impact of accounting for certain of our rental contracts with customers that are accounted for under GAAP as sales-type lease and stock compensation expense. 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 and inventory sold. 
       The equipment and inventory acquired received a purchase accounting 
       step-up in basis, which is a non-cash adjustment to the equipment cost 
       pursuant to our ABL Credit Agreement and Indenture. 
(2)    Represents transaction and other costs related to acquisitions of 
       businesses; costs associated with closed operations; costs associated 
       with restructuring and business optimization activities (inclusive of 
       systems establishment costs); employee retention and/or severance 
       costs; costs related to start-up/preopenings and openings of locations; 
       reconfiguration or consolidation of facilities or equipment conversion 
       costs. These adjustments are presented as adjustments to net income 
       (loss) pursuant to our ABL Credit Agreement and Indenture. 
(3)    Represents the impact of sales-type lease accounting for certain leases 
       containing rental purchase options (or "RPOs"), as the application of 
       sales-type lease accounting is not deemed to be representative of the 
       ongoing cash flows of the underlying rental contracts. The adjustments 
       are made pursuant to our ABL Credit Agreement and Indenture. The 
       components of this adjustment are presented in the table below:

(4)    During Q4 2024, the Company closed on a sale leaseback transaction with 
       an unrelated third party. The Company sold 8 properties with a combined 
       net book value of $29.0 million for gross proceeds of $53.8 million, 
       which was reduced by transaction costs and other fees of $1.3 million, 
       for net cash proceeds of approximately $52.5 million. Additionally, 
       $3.2 million from the proceeds were used to repay a note payable. The 
       Company recognized a gain of $23.5 million on this transaction. 
(5)    Represents non-cash share-based compensation expense associated with 
       the issuance of stock options and restricted stock units. 
(6)    Represents the charge to earnings for our interest rate collar and the 
       change in fair value of the liability for warrants. On July 31, 2024, 
       all of the Company's stock purchase warrants expired and unexercised.
