Immediately following the acquisition by Nesco Holdings II, Inc. of Custom Truck One Source, L.P. (“Custom Truck LP”) as discussed in Note 3, Acquisition and Related Financing Transactions,3: Business Combinations, on April 1, 2021 (the “Acquisition”), Nesco Holdings, Inc. (“Nesco Holdings”) changed its name to “Custom Truck One Source, Inc.” and changed The New York Stock Exchange ticker for its shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) from “NSCO” to “CTOS.“CTOS,
As and the ticker of its redeemable warrants from “NSCO.WS” to “CTOS.WS.” Terms such as, “we,” “our,” “us,” or “the Company” refer to Nesco Holdings prior to the Acquisition, closedand to the combined company after first quarter 2021, the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires that these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and most of the disclosures in these Notes be presented on a historical basis, as of or for the three months ended March 31, 2021 or prior periods.Acquisition. Unless the context otherwise requires, the term “CTOS”“Nesco” or “Nesco Holdings” as used in these financial statements means Nesco Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries when referring to periods prior to March 31, 2021 (prior to the Acquisition). The term “Company” refers to standalone Nesco Holdings prior to the Acquisition, and to the combined company post Acquisition. We may use terms such as, “we,” “our,” or “us,” to refer to standalone Nesco Holdingsterm “Custom Truck LP” means Custom Truck LP and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to and on the Acquisition, and todate of the combined company post Acquisition.
We are a specialty equipment rental provider to the electric utility transmission and distribution, telecommunications, rail and railother infrastructure-related industries in North America. Our core business relates to our new equipment inventory and rental fleet of specialty rental equipment that is utilized by service providers in infrastructure development and improvement work. Specifically, weWe offer our specialized equipment to a diverse customer base, including utilities and primarily contractors, for the maintenance, repair, upgrade, and installation of critical infrastructure assets, including distribution and transmission electric lines, telecommunications networks and rail systems, as well as a small percentage for lighting and signage. We rent, produce, sell and sellservice a broad range of new and used equipment, including bucket trucks, digger derricks, line equipment,dump trucks, cranes, pressure diggers,service trucks, and underground equipment, which formsheavy-haul trailers. Following the Acquisition, we changed our reportable segments to be consistent with how we currently manage the business, representing 3 reporting segments: Equipment Rental Solutions (“ERS”), Truck and Equipment Sales (“TES”) and Aftermarket Parts and Services (“APS”).
Equipment Rental Solutions (“ERS”) segment. To complementSegment
We own a broad range of new and used specialty equipment, including truck-mounted aerial lifts, cranes, service trucks, dump trucks, trailers, digger derricks and other machinery and equipment. The majority of our rental fleet can be used across a variety of end-markets, which coincides with the needs of many of our customers who operate in multiple end-markets. As is customary for equipment rental companies, we sell used equipment out of our rental fleet to end user customers. These sales are often made in response to specific customer requests. These sales offer customers an opportunity to buy well-maintained equipment with long remaining useful lives and enable us to effectively manage the age and mix of our rental fleet to match current market demand. We also employ rental purchase options on a select basis, which provide a buyout option with an established purchase price that decreases over time as rental revenue is collected. Customers are given credit against such purchase price for a portion of the amounts paid over the life of the rental, allowing customers the flexibility of a rental with the option to purchase at any time at a known price. Activities in our ERS segment consist of the rental and sale from the rental fleet, of the foregoing products.
Truck and Equipment Sales (“TES”) Segment
We offer a broad variety of new equipment for sale to be used across our end-markets, which can be modified to meet our customers’ specific needs. We believe that our integrated production capabilities and extensive knowledge gained over a long history of selling equipment have established us as a trusted partner for customers seeking tailored solutions with short lead times. In support of these activities, we primarily employ a direct-to-customer sales model, leveraging our dedicated sales force of industry and product managers, who are focused on driving national and local sales. We also opportunistically engage in the sale of used equipment purchased from third parties or received via trade-ins from new equipment sales customers. In all of these cases, we will sell used equipment directly to customers, rather than relying on auctions. Activities in our TES segment consist of the production and sale of new and used specialty equipment and vocational trucks, which includes equipment from leading original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) across our end-markets, as well as our Load KingTM brand.

7


Aftermarket Parts and Services (“APS”) Segment

The ensuing economic impacts from restrictions put in place around the globe to address the COVID-19 pandemic, including shutdowns and workplace changes, have led to issues, broadly, in the global flow of goods and services (the “supply chain”) segment.. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions on our supply chain, including, but not limited to, the commercial vehicle manufacturers that provide the chassis used in our production and manufacturing processes. Supply chain disruptions, such as the ongoing semiconductor shortage, could potentially limit the ability of these manufacturers to meet demand in future periods.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the accounting policies described below. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires that these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and most of the disclosures in these Notes be presented on a historical basis, as of or for the current interim period ended or comparable prior period. The consolidated financial position and results of operations and cash flows (including segment information) presented herein include those of Custom Truck One Source, Inc. as of March 31, 2022 and since the date of the Acquisition. Financial information presented for periods prior to the Acquisition represent those of Nesco Holdings and its subsidiaries.
The accompanying interim statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.S-X, and the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2021, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Custom Truck One Source, Inc. at that date. Accordingly, theythese interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair statement of these interim statements, have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year or for any other period. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’sCustom Truck One Source, Inc. audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’sCustom Truck One Source, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.
Use of Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to use judgment to make estimates that directly affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates are used for items including, but not limited to, the useful lives and residual values of our rental equipment, business combinations, and determining the valuation allowanceallocation of purchase price related to deferred income taxes.business combinations. In addition, estimates are used to test both long-lived assets, goodwill, and indefinite-lived assets for impairment, and to determine the fair value of impaired assets, if any impairment exists. These estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis using information currently available, and we revise our recorded

estimates as updated information becomes available, facts and circumstances change, or actual amounts become determinable. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Leases
The Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") new guidance to account for leases (“Topic 842”) by entities that are lessees, requires (1) recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, and (2) disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 provides two classifications for leases: financing or operating.
Finance leases. The accounting and recognition for leases qualifying as finance leases is similar to the accounting and recognition required under ASC Topic 840, Leases (“Topic 840”), for capital leases. As of March 31, 2021, we have capital lease obligations of approximately $9.6 million. When we make our contractually required payments under the capital leases, we allocate a portion to reduce the capital lease obligation and a portion is recognized as interest expense. The assets leased under the capital leases are included in rental equipment, and depreciation thereon is recognized in cost of rental revenue.
Operating leases. Under Topic 842, operating leases result in the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ROU assets represent our right to use the leased asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Under Topic 842, operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date and measured based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease ROU assets will also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease that we are reasonably certain to exercise. Lease expense under Topic 842 will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Upon adoption of Topic 842, it is expected that operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities that reflect the present value of these future payments related to Nesco Holdings will be in the range of $7.9 million to $8.9 million.
We will adopt Topic 842 in the second quarter of 2021 as a result of losing emerging growth company status and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit in the period of adoption. A modified retrospective approach is required for adoption for all leases that exist at or commence after the date of initial application with an option to use certain practical expedients. We expect to use the package of practical expedients that allows us to not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases.
Under Topic 842, lessor accounting will remain substantially similar to the current accounting; however, certain refinements were made to conform the standard with the recently issued revenue recognition guidance in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), specifically related to the allocation and recognition of contract consideration earned from lease and non-lease revenue components. On July 30, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which created a practical expedient that provides lessors an option not to separate lease and non-lease components when certain criteria are met and instead account for those components as a single lease component. We are currently in the process of evaluating whether our lease arrangements will meet the criteria under the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component, which would alleviate the requirement upon adoption of Topic 842 that we reallocate or separately present lease and non-lease components.
Measurement of Current Expected Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 (the “ASU”), Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The ASU adds to GAAP an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss, or “CECL,” model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which is intended to result in the more timely recognition of losses. Under the CECL model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering estimated prepayments, but not expected extensions or modifications) from the date of initial recognition of the financial instrument. Measurement of expected credit losses are to be based on relevant forecasts that affect collectability. The scope of financial assets within the CECL methodology is broad and includes trade receivables from certain revenue transactions and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. While our review is ongoing, we believe the ASU will only have applicability to our receivables from non-leasing revenue transactions, as the ASU does not apply to receivables arising from operating leases. At the point that non-leasing trade receivables are recorded, they become subject to the CECL model and estimates of expected credit losses on receivables over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. We are currently evaluating whether the new guidance, while limited to our non-operating lease trade receivables, will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-13 must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings (deficit) in the period of adoption. We will adopt the ASU in the second quarter of 2021 as a result of losing emerging growth company status.

SimplifyingTrade Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses
We are exposed to credit losses from trade receivables generated through our leasing, sales and service businesses. We assess each customer’s ability to pay for the Testproducts and services by conducting a credit review. The credit review considers expected billing exposure and timing for Goodwill Impairment
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, intended to simplify the subsequent accounting for goodwill acquired in a business combination. Prior guidance required utilizing a two-step process to review goodwill for impairment. A second step was required if there was an indication that an impairment may exist,payment and the second step required calculatingcustomer’s established credit rating. We perform a credit review of new customers at inception of the potential impairment by comparingcustomer relationship and, for existing customers, when the implied fair valuecustomer transacts new leases or product orders after a period of a reporting unit’s goodwill (as if purchase accounting were performed ondormancy. We also consider contract terms and conditions, country risk and business strategy in the testing date)evaluation.
We monitor ongoing credit exposure through an active review of customer balances against contract terms and due dates. We may employ collection agencies and legal counsel to pursue recovery of defaulted receivables. The allowances for credit losses reflect the carryingestimate of the amount of the goodwill. The new guidance eliminates the second step from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount,receivables that management assesses will be unable to be collected based on historical write-off experience and, then recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value (although the loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit). We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2021; however, as discused in Note 5, Goodwillapplicable, current conditions and Intangible Assets, there was 0 impairment of goodwillreasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability. This estimate could require change based on changing circumstances, including changes in the three months endedeconomy or in the particular circumstances of individual customers. Accordingly, we may be required to increase or decrease the allowances. We review the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $12.8 million and $10.8 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and 2020. Accordingly, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impactis included in accounts receivable, net on our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with two different accounting standards: (1) Topic 606 and (2) Topic 840, which addresses lease accounting, for which we will adopt an update to this standard (Topic 842) using the modified retrospective approach, as described above. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized rental revenue in accordance with Topic 840, Leases, which is the lease accounting standard.
Under Topic 606, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. A “performance obligation” is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account under Topic 606. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services. As reflected below, most of our revenue is accounted for under Topic 840. Our contracts with customers generally do not include multiple performance obligations. The table below presents our revenue types based on the accounting standard used to determine the accounting.

Rental revenue is primarily comprised of revenues from rental agreements and freight charges billed to customers, as well as charges to customers for damaged equipment, which is assessed and billed at the time a rental asset is returned to the Company.
Inventory
Parts, tools, and accessories inventory is primarily composed of items purchased for resale or rent to customers. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, in connection with a new inventory management system, we elected to change our method for these inventories, which were previously valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, to the moving average cost method. We believe the change is preferable because it better reflects movement of the inventory and the corresponding value which provides a better reflection of periodic income from operations. This change was not applied retrospectively to prior periods, as the effect of the change was not material to our consolidated financial statements, including interim periods.
Also included within parts, tools, and accessories inventory are materials and components that we carry to service our rental fleet and new equipment held for sale. These materials and components are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
Equipment inventory consists of equipment bought specifically for resale to customers. These new purchases are recorded directly to inventory when received. Equipment inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a specific identification basis.

Note 3: Acquisition and Related Financing TransactionsBusiness Combinations
Acquisition of Custom Truck One Source, L.P.
On December 3, 2020, Nesco Holdings and Nesco Holdings II, Inc., a subsidiary of Nesco Holdings (the “Buyer” or the “Issuer”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain affiliates of The Blackstone Group (“Blackstone”) and other direct and indirect equity holders (collectively, “Sellers”) of Custom Truck One Source, L.P. (“Custom Truck”), Blackstone Capital Partners VI-NQ L.P., and PE One Source Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Platinum Equity, LLC (“Platinum”), pursuant to which Buyer agreed to acquire 100% of the partnership interests of Custom Truck.Truck LP. In connection with the Acquisition, Nesco Holdings and certain Sellers entered into Rollover and Contribution Agreements (the “Rollover Agreements”), pursuant to which such Sellers agreed to contribute a portion of their equity interests in Custom Truck LP (the “Rollovers”) with an aggregate value of $100.5 million in exchange for shares of Common Stock, valued at $5.00 per share. We believe the Acquisition creates a leading, one-stop shop for specialty equipment, serving highly attractive and growing infrastructure end markets, including transmission and distribution, telecom, rail and other national infrastructure initiatives.
Also on December 3, 2020, Nesco Holdings entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Platinum, relating to, among other things, the issuance and sale to Platinum (the “Subscription”) to Platinum of shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price in the range of $700 million to $763 million, with the specific amount calculated in accordance with the Investment Agreement based upon the total equity funding required to fund the consideration paid pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The shares of Common Stock issued and sold to Platinum had a purchase price of $5.00 per share. In accordance with the Investment Agreement, on December 21, 2020, Nesco Holdings entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) to finance, in part, the Acquisition. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement, the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase an aggregate of 28,000,000 shares of Common Stock at $5.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $140 million (the “Supplemental Equity Financing”).
On April 1, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), in connection with (i) the Rollovers, CTOS Inc.the Company issued, in the aggregate, 20,100,000 shares of Common Stock to the parties to the Rollover Agreements, (ii) the Subscription, CTOS Inc.the Company issued 148,600,000 shares of Common Stock to Platinum, and (iii) the Supplemental Equity Financing, CTOS Inc.the Company issued, in the aggregate, 28,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the PIPE Investors.

Opening Balance Sheet
The Acquisition will beacquisition of Custom Truck One Source, L.P. has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, and CTOS Inc. will be treated asthe Company is considered the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, we are required to assign the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the Closing Date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values will beis recorded as goodwill. CTOS Inc.The total purchase price has been assigned to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their fair values as of the Closing Date, and the estimated fair values have been recorded based on independent valuations, discounted cash flow analysis, quoted market prices, contributory asset charges, and estimates made by management, which estimates fall under “Level 3” of the fair value hierarchy (as defined in Note 11: Fair Value Measurements).
The following table summarizes the April 1, 2021 fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Since the Closing Date, the Company identified and recorded certain measurement period adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation, which are reflected in the table below. These adjustments were not completedsignificant and related primarily to rental equipment and current liabilities. The measurement period adjustments, coupled with the valuation analysis and calculations in sufficient detail necessary to arrive atadditional cash consideration discussed above, increased goodwill by approximately $15.6 million during the required estimatesyear ended December 31, 2021. The final assessment of the fair value of the Custom Truck LP assets acquired orand liabilities assumed including estimates of fair values for inventory, rental equipment and certain intangible assets.
The Company expensed approximately $10.4 million in transaction costs related to the Acquisition within Transaction and other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Additionally, there were approximately $6.1 million in transaction costs related to the Acquisition that are deferred and recorded within Prepaid expenses and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheetwas complete as of March 31, 2021, which costs will2022.

Financing Transactions
On the Closing Date, the Issuer issued $920 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.50% senior secured second lien notes due 2029 (the “2029 Secured Notes”). The 2029 Secured Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 1, 2021, by and among the Issuer, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, and the guarantors party thereto (the “Indenture”). The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencingwhich commenced on October 15, 2021. Unless earlier redeemed, the 2029 Secured Notes will mature on April 15, 2029. The notes were offered pursuant to a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons outside of the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The proceeds from the issuance and sale of the 2029 Secured Notes were used to consummate the Acquisition and to repay the Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (see Note 4, Debt),previously issued by Nesco Holdings, repay certain indebtedness of Custom Truck LP and pay certain fees and expenses related to the Acquisition and financing transactions.
ABL Facility
OnAlso on the Closing Date, the Buyer, its direct parent, and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries entered into a senior secured asset basedasset-based revolving credit agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain other lenders party thereto, consisting of a $750.0 million first lien senior secured asset basedasset-based revolving credit facility with a maturity of five years (the “ABL Facility”), which includes borrowing capacity for revolving loans (with a swingline sub-facility) and the issuance of letters of credit. Proceeds from the ABL Facility were used to finance the repayment of certain indebtedness of (i) Custom Truck LP under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of April 18, 2017 (the “Custom Truck LP Credit Facility”), by and among Custom Truck LP, the other entities party thereto and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent, and (ii) Buyer under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2019 (the “2019 Credit Facility”), by and among Capitol Investment Merger Sub 2, LLC, the other entities party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, as well as to pay fees and expenses related to the Acquisition and the financing transactions.
Pro Forma Information
The below pro forma information is presented for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and uses the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities on the Closing Date, and makes the following assumptions: (1) removes acquisition-related costs and charges that were recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and applies these costs and charges as if the Acquisition and related financing transactions had occurred on January 1, 2020; (2) adjusts for the impacts of purchase accounting in the three months ended March 31, 2021; (3) adjusts interest expense, including amortization of debt issuance costs, to reflect borrowings on the ABL Facility and issuance of the 2029 Secured Notes, as if the funds had been borrowed and the notes had been issued on January 1, 2020 and used to repay Nesco’s 2019 Credit Facility, Nesco’s Senior Secured Notes due 2024 and the Custom Truck LP Credit Facility and term loan; and (4) adjusts for the income tax effect using a tax rate of 25%. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s results of operations had the Acquisition been completed on January 1, 2020, nor is it necessarily indicative of the Company’s future results. The pro forma information does not reflect any cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies, or revenue opportunities that could result from the Acquisition.

Acquisition of HiRail
On January 14, 2022, a subsidiary of the Company, CTOS Canada, Ltd., closed a Share Purchase Agreement with certain affiliates of Ontario Limited (d/b/a HiRail Leasing), Ontario Inc. (d/b/a Heavy Equipment Repairs), and Ontario Limited (d/b/a Northshore Rail Contracting) (collectively “HiRail”) to acquire 100% of the equity interests of HiRail. The acquisition of HiRail expands our presence in our strategic markets and deepens our relationships with key customers.
Purchase Price
The Company paid $51.6 million to HiRail equity interest holders and to repay debt obligations as consideration for the HiRail acquisition.
Opening Balance Sheet
The Acquisition of HiRail has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, we are required to assign the purchase price to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of January 14, 2022. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill and is attributable to expanded access to markets for our product and service offering, synergies, and broader product offerings to existing customers of HiRail. The total purchase price has been preliminarily assigned to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their preliminary fair values as of January 14, 2022, and the estimated fair values have been recorded based on independent valuations, discounted cash flow analysis, quoted market prices, contributory asset charges, and estimates made by management, which estimates fall under “Level 3” of the fair value hierarchy (as defined in Note 11: Fair Value Measurements).
The following table summarizes as of January 14, 2022, fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final assessment of the fair value of the HiRail assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including estimates of fair values for inventory, property and equipment, rental equipment, certain intangible assets, deferred income taxes and the final assignment of goodwill to reporting units, was not complete as of March 31, 2022. The preliminary fair values are subject to change pending a final determination of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as more information is received about their respective values. As of March 31, 2022, the Company is in the process of determining the value of intangible assets acquired including customer relationships, trade names, and other intangible assets.

Receivables, Contract Assets and Liabilities
The Company manages credit risk associated with its accounts receivable at the customer level. Because the same customers generate the revenues that are accounted for under both Topic 606 and Topic 842, the discussions below on credit risk and the Company's allowance for credit losses address the Company's total revenues.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses reflects its estimate of the amount of receivables that it will be unable to collect. The estimated losses are based upon a review of outstanding receivables, the related aging, including specific accounts if deemed necessary, and on the Company’s historical collection experience. The estimated losses are calculated using the loss rate method based upon a review of outstanding receivables, related aging, and historical collection experience. The Company's estimates reflect changing circumstances, including changes in the economy or in the particular circumstances of individual customers, and, as a result, the Company may be required to increase or decrease its allowance. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized bad debt expense of $1.4 million, as reductions of rental revenue in accordance with the collectability provisions of Topic 842. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $1.5 million within selling, general, and administrative expense in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income (Loss), which included changes in its allowances for credit losses.
When customers are billed for rentals in advance of the rental period, the Company defers recognition of revenue. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had approximately $1.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of deferred rental revenue. Additionally, the Company collects deposits from customers for orders placed for equipment and rentals. The Company had approximately $24.0 million in deposits as of March 31, 2022.
The Company does not have material contract assets, and it did not recognize any material impairments of any contract assets.
The primary costs to obtain contracts for new and rental unit sales with the Company's customers are commissions. The Company pays its sales force commissions related to the sale and rental of new and used units. For new unit and rental unit sales, the period benefited by each commission is less than one year. As a result, the Company has applied the practical expedient for incremental costs of obtaining a sales contract and expenses commissions as incurred.

FASBThe Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) accounting standards provide a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. Levels within the hierarchy are defined as follows:
16


Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (other than those included in Level 1) which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The following table sets forth the carrying values (exclusive of deferred financing fees) and fair values of our financial liabilities:

The carrying amounts of the ABL Facility and other notes payable approximated fair value as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 based upon terms and conditions available to the Company at those dates in comparison to the terms and conditions of its outstanding debt. The estimated fair value of the 2029 Secured Notes and Senior Secured Notes due 2024 is calculated using Level 2 inputs, based on bid prices obtained from brokers. The Level 3 fair value presented above consists of the fair value of the Non-Public Warrants (as defined in Note 9, 12: Financial Instruments)Instruments). The Company estimated the fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the market value of the underlying common stock,Common Stock, the remaining contractual term of the warrant, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends, and expected volatility of the price of the underlying common stock.Common Stock.

Note 9:12: Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company uses various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, to manage the risks associated with interest rate exposure. These financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes.

Warrants
Nesco Holding’s predecessor, Capitol Investment Corp. IV, an entity formed on May 1, 2017, as a special purpose acquisition company (“Capitol” or the “SPAC”), issued warrants for the purchase of approximately 7.5 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to a private placement agreement (the “Non-Public Warrants”). In connection with the SPAC’s initial public offering, warrants for the purchase of approximately 13.4 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock were issued to public investors (the “Public Warrants”). The Public Warrants together with the Non-Public Warrants are hereafter referred to collectively as the “Warrants.”
The Warrants provide for the purchase of approximately 20.9 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Warrants are currently exercisable and terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) July 31, 2024, and (ii) the redemption date. The Company may redeem the Public Warrants at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant upon providing 30-days’ notice, only in the event that the last sale price of the Common Stock is at least $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. If the Company elects to redeem the Public Warrants as described above, the Public Warrant may be exercised on a “cashless basis.” The redemption rights do not apply to the Non-Public Warrants if, at the time of the redemption, such Non-Public Warrants continue to be held by the initial holders as of July 31, 2019, or their affiliates or permitted transferees; however, once such Non-Public Warrants are transferred (other than to an affiliate or permitted transferee), the Company may redeem those Non-Public Warrants that have been transferred in a manner similar to any Public Warrants.
The Public Warrants are accounted for as freestanding equity-classified instruments because the Company has the ability to settle with holders of the Public Warrants either by net-share or physical settlement. Because the Non-Public Warrants do not meet the “indexed to the entity’s stock” condition, they have been accounted for as a derivative liability and remeasured at their estimated fair value each period. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized income of $4.1 million in Other (income) expense in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income (Loss) related to the fair value remeasurement.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
On July 17, 2019, we entered into an interest rate collar (the "Collar"“Collar”) agreement to mitigate the risk of changes in the interest rate paid during the contract period for $170.0 million of the Company’s variable rate loans. Under the Collar, we are required to pay the counterparty to the agreement an amount equal to the difference between a monthly LIBOR-based interest rate and a defined interest rate floor; conversely, we are entitled to receive from the counterparty an amount equal to the excess of a LIBOR-based interest rate and a defined interest rate cap. The required payments due to or due from the counterparty are calculated by applying the interest rate differential to the notional amount ($170.0 million) and are determined monthly through July 31, 2024. The Collar expires in July 2024 and has not been designated as a cash flow hedge. The Collar is carried at fair value and reported in Derivative and warrant liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheetsConsolidated Balance Sheets ($5.2 million and $7.02.4 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2021, respectively)2021) as a Level 2 measurement (see Note 8, 11: Fair Value Measurements)Measurements). The change in fair value of the Collar is recognized in Other expense (income), net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (($1.8 million)Net Income (Loss) and $6.0totaled $(1.7) million in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively).
The counterparty to the Collar is an investment grade major international financial institution. The Company could be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty; however, the credit rating and the concentration of risk in this financial institution are monitored on a continuous basis and present no significant credit risk to the Company.
Warrants
During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company identified an immaterial error in its historical accounting for certain of its issued and outstanding warrants, as further described below.
17


In connection with the Company’s predecessor, Capitol Investment Corp. IV, an entity formed on May 1, 2017, as a special purpose acquisition company (“Capitol” or the “SPAC”), warrants for the purchase of approximately 7.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock were issued pursuant to a private placement agreement (the “Non-Public Warrants”). In connection with the SPAC’s initial public offering, warrants for the purchase of approximately 13.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to public investors (the “Public Warrants”). The Public Warrants together with the Non-Public Warrants may hereafter collectively be referred to as the “Warrants.”
The Warrants provide for the purchase of approximately 20.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Warrants are currently exercisable and terminate on the earlier to occur of (i) July 31, 2024, and (ii) the redemption date. The Company may redeem the Public Warrants at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant upon providing 30-days’ notice, only in the event that the last sale price of the common stock is at least $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. If the Company elects to redeem the Public Warrants as described above, the Public Warrant may be exercised on a “cashless basis.” The redemption rights do not apply to the Non-Public Warrants if at the time of the redemption such Non-Public Warrants continue to be held by the initial holders as of July 31, 2019, or their affiliates or permitted transferees; however, once such Non-Public Warrants are transferred (other than to an affiliate or permitted transferee), the Company may redeem those Non-Public Warrants that have been transferred in a manner similar to any Public Warrants. In periods prior to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company accounted for both the Public and Non-Public Warrants as freestanding equity-classified instruments.
On April 12, 2021, the Commission issued Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies ("SPACs") (the “Statement”). The Statement indicated that, if warrant agreements can provide for potential changes to the settlement amounts that depend on the characteristics of the holder of the warrant, such provisions would preclude the warrants from being indexed to the entity’s stock, and, therefore, result in classification of the warrants as a liability measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. The Company’s warrant agreement provides for a different settlement amount in a cashless exercise for holders of the Non-Public Warrants upon exercise at any time as compared to holders of the Public Warrants upon the Company's election to redeem; therefore, the Non-Public Warrants are precluded from being indexed to the Company’s stock and should have been classified as liabilities.
The Public Warrants continue to be accounted for as freestanding equity-classified instruments because the Company has the ability to settle with holders of the Public Warrants either by net-share or physical settlement. Because the Non-Public Warrants do not meet the “indexed to the entity’s stock” condition, they should have been accounted for as a derivative liability and remeasured at their estimated fair value each period. The change in fair value each period should have been reported in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The effect of correcting the accounting for the Non-Public Warrants from an equity-classified instrument to a liability instrument resulted in the reclassification of $10.3 million from Additional paid-in capital to Derivative and warrant liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2021, which represents the initial value of the Non-Public Warrants that should have been recognized on July 31, 2019, the date on which the Company merged with the SPAC. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized an expense of $7.6 million in Other (income) expense in its consolidated statement of operations related to the fair value remeasurement. Included in the first quarter 2021 remeasurement amount is an income amount of $1.4 million representing the net change in the fair value of the Non-Public Warrants from July 31, 2019 (the issue date of the Non-Public Warrants) to December 31, 2019, of $6.1 million in income, offset by $4.7 million in expense from the change in fair value for the year ended December 31, 2020. In evaluating whether the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements were materially misstated for the interim or annual periods prior to January 1, 2021, the Company applied the guidance of ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 1.M, Assessing Materiality and SAB Topic 1.N, E, and concluded that the effect of the error on prior period financial statements was not material. The Company also evaluated if the cumulative effect of correcting the prior period misstatement in its consolidated financial statements would be material to either the quarter, or annual period, in the three months ended March 31, 2021, and the forecasted year ending December 31, 2021, respectively. The guidance states that prior-year misstatements which, if corrected in the current year would materially misstate the current year’s financial statements, must be corrected by adjusting prior year financial statements, even though such correction previously was and continues to be immaterial to the prior-year financial statements. The Company concluded the impact of correcting the accounting for the Non-Public Warrants on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the three-months ending March 31, 2021, and the forecasted year ending December 31, 2021, is immaterial.

Note 10: Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $4.1$(1.8) million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, as compared to $0.7 millionrespectively. During the first quarter of 2022 the Company settled the Collar for the same period of the prior year. Income tax expense for the current period reflects the Company's estimated overall tax rate from of the Company'sno gain or loss.

estimateNote 13: Income Taxes
We are subject to taxation in all jurisdictions in which we operate within the United States and Canada. Substantially all of full-yearour income before income taxes for all periods presented is U.S. sourced.
We record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when we determine that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The valuation allowance primarily relates to federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, as well as disallowed interest expense deduction carryforwards. While the Acquisition resulted in a significant increase in deferred tax liabilities, these tax liabilities, which give rise to future taxable income arising from disallowed interest expense.against which tax carryforwards may be applied, are subject to limitations. Federal and state income tax limitation rules are expected to limit the application of our carryforwards and, accordingly, we record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets to amounts expect to be realized. The Company's effective tax rate for the current period, (17.2)%,three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due primarily to the recording of valuation allowance for deferredallowances. During three months ended March 31, 2022, the tax assets.rate also differed from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate as a result of state tax expense recorded during the period. The increase in the effective tax rate in three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to three months ended March 31, 2021 is primarily due to the near break-even pre-tax loss in the current period.

Note 11:14: Commitments and Contingencies
We record a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. We review these provisions at least quarterly and adjust these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information.
Legal Matters
In the normal course of business, there are various claims in process, matters in litigation, and other contingencies. At this time, no claims of these types, certain of which are covered by insurance policies, have had a material effect on the Company. Certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates do not allow insurance recoveries related to punitive damages. For matters pertaining to the pre-Acquisition activities of Custom Truck LP, Sellers have agreed to indemnify Nesco and Buyer for losses arising out of the breach of Sellers’ pre-closing covenants in the Purchase Agreement and certain indemnified tax matters, with recourse limited to a $10 million and $8.5 million escrow account, respectively.
From time to time, the Company is audited by state and local taxing authorities. These audits typically focus on the Company’s withholding of state-specific sales tax and rental-related taxes.
Custom Truck’sTruck LP’s withholdings of federal excise taxes for each of the four quarterly periods during 2015 are currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). The IRS issued an assessment on October 28, 2020 in an aggregate amount of $2.4 million for the 2015 periods, alleging that certain types of sold equipment are not eligible for the Mobile Machinery Exemption set forth in the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”)“Code”. An appeal was filed on January 28, 2021. Based on management’s understanding of the facts and circumstances, including the relevant provisions of the IRC,Code, and historical precedent, including previous successful appeals of similar assessments in prior years, management does not believe the likelihood of a loss resulting from the IRS assessment to be probable at this time.
While it is not possible to predict the outcome of the foregoing matters with certainty, it is the opinion of management, that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Purchase Commitments
We enter into purchase agreements with manufacturers and suppliers of equipment for our rental fleet and inventory. All of these agreements are cancellable within a specified notification period to the supplier.

Note 16: Segments
Our operations are primarily organized and managed by operating segment. Operating segment performance and resource allocations are primarily based on gross profit. The accounting policies of the reportable segments alignare consistent with those described in Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the financial statements. Intersegment sales and any related profits are eliminated in consolidation. We manage the business in 3 reporting segments: Equipment Rental Solutions (“ERS”), Truck and Equipment Sales (“TES”) and Aftermarket Parts and Services (“APS”). The segment operations are described in Note 1: Business and Organization to these financial statements. Segment information presented below has been adjusted for all prior periods, consistent with the information our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) receives on a regular basis to evaluatecurrent reportable segment presentation.
The Company’s segment results are presented in the performance of the business and to allocate resources. The accounting principles applied at the operating segment level in determining gross profit are generally the same as those applied at the consolidated financial statement level. Inter-segment revenues, and cost allocations to operating segment cost of revenue are minimal; that is, revenue, cost of equipment and parts sold or rented, depreciation of rental equipment and gross profit are directly attributed to each of the operating segments.

Overview of Markets and Related Industry Performance
Beginning in late March 2020, the Company began to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which continued into the second quarter of 2020. We began to see a normal seasonal uptick in demand starting in late August and our original equipment cost (“OEC”) on rent also started to improve in late August. While we are encouraged by the trend, the Company’s results of operations have not yet fully recovered to the same levels prior to the pandemic, and we remain cautious about the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Company serves critical infrastructure sectors that have been identified by the United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (“CISA”) as vital to the U.S. Accordingly, we have continued to meet the needs of our customers during the pandemic. We continue to adhere to protocols designed to maintain the health and safety of our employees and their families, as well as our customers, vendors and communities. These protocols have allowed the Company to keep all business and service locations operational throughout the pandemic with little to no disruption.
In late March 2020, we saw a decline in demand from customers as planned projects were delayed in response to the uncertainty caused by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. These delays were most pronounced in electric distribution customers close to population centers in efforts to promote social distancing. Electric transmission customers also delayed planned new project starts. This led to a decline in OEC on rent during the second quarter of 2020 and into the beginning of the third quarter of 2020. As projects ended or were delayed, equipment was returned and there was little offsetting demand from new projects. This trend began to reverse starting in late August 2020 as “shelter-in-place” restrictions were relaxed across the country. Electric distribution and transmission customers continue to have large backlogs of projects that must be undertaken to maintain an aged grid, to harden the grid against the impact of severe weather events, to ensure the uninterrupted supply of electricity and to meet growing electricity demands from increased household usage and vehicle electrification. We have experienced relative stability in the rail and telecom sectors. Telecom end-customers have announced intentions to continue to invest in 5G infrastructure and additional network enhancements designed to address deficiencies that became apparent with increased traffic during pandemic stay-at-home orders.
The unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to make it difficult to predict our future business and financial performance. However, our customers continue to reiterate record or near-record backlogs and capital investment plans. We are not aware of any significant project cancellations by our customers during the pandemic at this time. Customer projects that we are aware of were merely delayed. Many projects that were previously delayed have now been rescheduled. Following the project delays discussed above, we are now experiencing an increase in demand as customers work to fulfill backlogs. Like us, our customers have become more adept at working safely within the pandemic environment.
At the onset of the pandemic, our focus was on delivering upon the needs of our customers, managing costs and cash flows, and preparing for a future recovery. We reduced our capital spending, our working capital balances and undertook cost reduction efforts

Financial and Performance Measures
Financial Measures
Revenue — As a full-service equipment provider, we generate revenue through renting, selling, assembling, upfitting, and servicing new and used heavy-duty trucks and cranes, as well as the sale of related parts. We also sell and rent specialized tools on an individual basis and in kits. Rental revenue is primarily comprised of revenues from rental agreements and freight charges billed to customers. For periods after January 1, 2021, the Company records changes in estimated collectability directly against rental revenue. Equipment sales revenue reflects the value of vocational trucks and other equipment sold to customers. Parts and service revenue is derived from maintenance and repair services, light upfit services, and parts, tools and accessories sold directly to customers.
Cost of rental revenue — Cost of rental revenue reflects repairs and maintenance costs of rental equipment, parts costs, labor and other overheads related to maintaining the rental fleet, and freight associated with the consolidated financial statementsshipping of rental equipment.
Depreciation of rental equipment — Depreciation of rental equipment is comprised of depreciation expense on the rental fleet. We allocate the cost of rental equipment generally over the rentable life of the equipment. The depreciation allocation is based upon estimated lives ranging from five to seven years. The cost of equipment is depreciated to an estimated residual value using the straight-line method.
Cost of equipment sales — Cost of equipment sales reflects production and inventory costs associated with new units sold, parts costs, labor and other overheads related to production, and freight associated with the shipping and receiving of equipment and parts. Cost of equipment sales also includes the net book value of rental units sold.
Selling, general and administrative expenses — Selling, general and administrative expenses include sales compensation, fleet licensing fees and corporate expenses, including salaries, stock-based compensation expense, insurance, advertising costs, professional services, fees earned on customer arranged financing, gains or losses resulting from insurance settlements, and information technology costs.
Amortization and non-rental depreciation — Amortization expense relates to intangible assets such as customer lists, trade names, etc. Non-rental depreciation expense reflects the depreciation of property and equipment that is not part of the rental fleet.
Transaction expenses — Transaction expenses and other expense include expenses directly related notes theretoto the acquisition of businesses. These expenses generally are comprised of travel and out-of-pocket expenses and legal, accounting and valuation or appraisal fees incurred in connection with pre- and post-closure activities. We also included within.include costs and expenses associated with post-acquisition integration activities related to the acquired businesses.
Measures RelatedFinancing and other expense (income) — Financing and other expense (income) reflects the financing expense (income) associated with sales-type lease activity, foreign currency gains and losses related to our FleetCanadian operations, as well as other miscellaneous gains or losses from non-operating activities. Also included in financing and other expense (income) are the unrealized remeasurement gains and losses related to our interest rate collar and redeemable warrants.
Interest expense — Interest expense consists of contractual interest expense on outstanding debt obligations, floorplan financing facilities, amortization of deferred financing costs and other related financing expenses.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) — We have net operating loss carryforward and disallowed interest deduction carryforward assets, which are generally available to be used to offset taxable income generated in future years. Due to limitations on the use of these carryforwards under U.S. federal and state income tax regulations, we record valuation allowances to reduce the carryforward assets to amounts that we estimate will be realized. Accordingly, income tax expense or benefit generally is comprised of changes to these valuation allowance estimates and does not reflect taxes on current period income (or tax benefit on current period losses). For these reasons, our effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory tax rate.
Performance Measures
We consider the following key operational measures when evaluating our performance and making day-to-day operating decisions:
24


AverageEnding OEC on rentOriginalEnding original equipment cost (“OEC”) on rent is the original equipment cost of units rented to customers at a given point in time. Average OEC on rent is calculated as the weighted-average OEC on rent duringend of the statedmeasurement period. OEC represents the original equipment cost, exclusive of the effect of adjustments to rental equipment fleet acquired in business combinations, and is the basis for calculating certain of the measures set forth below. This adjusted measure of OEC is used by our creditors pursuant to our credit agreements, wherein this is a component of the basis for determining compliance with our financial loan covenants. Additionally, the pricing of our rental contracts and equipment sales prices for our equipment is based upon OEC, and
23


we measure a rate of return from our rentals and sales using OEC. OEC is a widely used industry metric to compare fleet dollar value independent of depreciation.
Average OEC on rent — Average OEC on rent is calculated as the weighted-average OEC on rent during the stated period.
Fleet utilization — Fleet utilization is defined as the total numbers of days the rental equipment was rented during a specified period of time divided by the total number of days available during the same period and weighted based on OEC. Utilization is a measure of fleet efficiency expressed as a percentage of time the fleet is on rent and is considered to be an important indicator of the revenue generating capacity of the fleet.
OEC on rent yield — OEC on rent yield (“ORY”) is a measure of return realized by our rental fleet during a period. ORY is calculated as rental revenue (excluding freight recovery and ancillary fees) during the stated period divided by the average OEC on rent for the same period. For periods less than 12 months, ORY is adjusted to an annualized basis.
Gross Profit
Gross profitSales order backlog — Sales order backlog consists of purchase orders received for products expected to be shipped within the next 12 months, although shipment dates are subject to change due to design modifications or changes in other customer requirements. Sales order backlog should not be considered an accurate measure of future net sales.
Operating Segments
We operate in three reportable operating segments: Equipment Rental Solutions, Truck and Equipment Sales and Aftermarket Parts and Services.
Equipment Rental Solutions (“ERS”) Segment — We own a broad range of new and used specialty equipment, including truck-mounted aerial lifts, cranes, service trucks, dump trucks, trailers, digger derricks and other machinery and equipment. As of March 31, 2022, this equipment (the “rental fleet”) is comprised of more than 9,000 units. The majority of our rental fleet can be used across a variety of end-markets, which coincides with the needs of many of our customers who operate in multiple end-markets. As is customary for equipment rental companies, we sell used equipment out of our rental fleet to end user customers. These sales are often made in response to specific customer requests. These sales offer customers an opportunity to buy well-maintained equipment with long remaining useful lives and enable us to effectively manage the age and mix of our rental fleet to match current market demand. We also employ rental purchase options (“RPOs”) on a select basis, which provide a buyout option with an established purchase price that decreases over time as rental revenue is collected. Customers are given credit against such purchase price for a portion of the amounts paid over the life of the rental, allowing customers the flexibility of a rental with the option to purchase at any time at a known price. Activities in our ERS segment consist of the rental and sale from the rental fleet, of the foregoing products.
Truck and Equipment Sales (“TES”) Segment — We offer a broad variety of new equipment for sale to be used across our end-markets, which can be modified to meet our customers’ specific needs. We believe that our integrated production capabilities and extensive knowledge gained over a long history of selling equipment have established us as a trusted partner for customers seeking tailored solutions with short lead times. In support of these activities, we primarily employ a direct-to-customer sales model, leveraging our dedicated salesforce of industry and product managers, who are focused on driving national and local sales. We also opportunistically engage in the sale of used equipment purchased from third parties or received via trade-ins from new equipment sales customers. In all of these cases, we will sell used equipment directly to customers, rather than relying on auctions. Activities in our TES segment consist of the production and sale of new and used specialty equipment and vocational trucks, which includes equipment from leading original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) across our end-markets, as well as our Load KingTM brand.
Aftermarket Parts and Services (“APS”) Segment — The APS segment includes the sale of specialized aftermarket parts, including captive parts related to our Load KingTM brand, used in the maintenance and repair of the equipment we sell and rent. Specialized tools, including stringing blocks, insulated hot stick, and rigging equipment, are sold or rented to customers on an individual basis or in packaged specialty kits. We also provide truck and equipment maintenance and repair services, which are executed throughout our nationwide branch network and fleet of mobile technicians supported by our 24/7 call center based in Kansas City, Missouri.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this MD&A and in the Supplemental Pro Forma Information, we report certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, 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. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with expanded insight to assess performance, in addition to the standard GAAP-based financial measures. Reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure that we userefer to monitor our results from operations.is included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following provides a description of the non-GAAP financial measures.
24


Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that the Company uses to monitor its results fromof operations, to measure performance against debt covenants and performance relative to competitors. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it allows for an effective evaluation of operating performance when compared to peers, without regard to financing methods or capital structures. The Company excludes the items identified in the reconciliations of Net lossnet 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, capital structures, including the method by which the assets were acquired.acquired, and capital structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, Net lossnet 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. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that results will be unaffected by the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. The Company’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as Netnet income or loss before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, equity-basedshare-based compensation, and other items that Thethe Company does not view as indicative of ongoing performance. Additionally, theThe Company’s 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. Additionally, the pricing of rental contracts and equipment sales prices for equipment is based on OEC, and the Company measures a rate of return from rentals and sales using OEC. As indicated above,The Company also includes an adjustment to remove the agreements governingimpact 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 the Company’s indebtedness definesenior secured credit agreements.
Although management evaluates and presents the Adjusted EBITDA non-GAAP measure for the reasons described herein, please be aware that this adjustmentnon-GAAP measure has 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 operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, we may calculate and/or present this non-GAAP financial measure differently than measures with the same or similar names that other companies report, and, as a result, the non-GAAP measure we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.
Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA
We present Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA as such, this metricif the Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2020. Refer to the reconciliation of pro forma combined net income (loss) to Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 in the section entitled “Supplemental Pro Forma Information.”
Gross Profit Excluding Depreciation of Rental Equipment
Gross profit excluding depreciation of rental equipment is an indicationa financial performance measure that we use to monitor our results from operations. We believe the exclusion of depreciation expense of the costrental fleet provides a meaningful measure of equipment sales fromfinancial performance because it provides useful information relating to profitability that reflects ongoing and direct operating expenses, such as freight costs and fleet maintenance costs, related to our rental fleet. Although management evaluates and presents this non-GAAP measure for the removal ofreasons described herein, please be aware that this non-GAAP measure has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, gross profit or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, we may calculate and/or present this non-GAAP financial measure differently than measures with the purchase accounting adjustments.same or similar names that other companies report, and as a result, the non-GAAP measure we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

Operating Expenses. Total Revenue -Operating expenses The increase in total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $8.7 million, or 59.3%,2022 compared to the same periodthree months ended December 31, 2021 was driven primarily by continued strong equipment sales due to high demand related to infrastructure investments in 2020.T&D and Telecom.
Cost of Revenue, Excluding Depreciation - The increase in cost of revenue, excluding rental equipment depreciation for the first quarter isthree months ended March 31, 2022 was driven primarily by the increase in equipment sales revenue versus the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in gross profit when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021 was largely driven by rising equipment sales prices for the period.
Depreciation of Rental Equipment - Depreciation of our rental fleet remained consistent in the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Operating Expenses - Operating expenses increased in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as a result of variable pay programs and other expenses, offset by lower transaction expensesand post-acquisition integration costs related to the Acquisition.
Other Expense. Expense -Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 decreased $1.3 million, or 5.8%, comparedprimarily due to the same periodfinancing income related to growth in 2020. The decrease is attributable to the change in fair value of an interest rate collar, which is an undesignated hedging instrument, which resulted in income in the current quarter of approximately $1.8 million ($6.0 million expensecustomer rental contracts accounted for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020), coupled with reduced interest expense as a result of lower borrowings from the revolving credit facility (net interest expense in the current quarter decreased by $1.1 million). The decrease was offset by a charge for the change in fair value of the liability for warrants of $7.6 million during the period.sales-type leases.
Income Tax Expense.Expense (Benefit) - IncomeThe Company's effective tax expense was $4.1 millionrate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $0.7 million for the same period of the prior year. Income tax expense for the current period reflects the Company's estimated overall tax rate from of the Company's estimate of full-year taxable income arising from disallowed interest expense. The Company's effective tax rate for the current period, (17.2)%,2022 differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due primarily to the recording of valuation allowance forallowances against deferred tax assets.

FinancialKey Performance Measures
We believe that our operating model, together with our highly variable cost structure, enables us to sustain high margins, strong cash flow generation and stable financial performance throughout various economic cycles. We are able to generate free cash flow through our earnings, as well as sales of used equipment. Our highly variable cost structure adjusts with the utilization of our equipment,

(d)    OEC on rent yield (“ORY”) is a measure of return realized by our on rental fleet during the 12-month period. ORY is calculated as rental revenue (excluding freight recovery and ancillary fees) during the stated period divided by the Average OEC on rent for the same period. For periods less than 12 months, the ORY is adjusted to an annualized basis.
(e)    Sales order backlog consists of purchase orders received for products expected to be shipped within the next 12 months, although shipment dates are subject to change due to design modifications or changes in other customer requirements. Sales order backlog should not be considered an accurate measure of future net sales.
Adjusted EBITDA.Ending OEC - The decrease in Ending OEC was driven by higher rental fleet sales in the current quarter.
Average OEC on Rent - The decrease in Average OEC on rent was driven by higher rental fleet sales.
Fleet Utilization - Fleet utilization declined modestly due to typical seasonal slowdowns in project work.
OEC on Rent Yield - ORY was flat reflective of the impact of continued pricing increases.
Sales Order Backlog - Sales order backlog consists of customer orders placed for customized and stock equipment. The increase in sales order backlog was driven by continued strong customer demand.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $4.5 million, or 14.1%,
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) to $27.5 millionAdjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease can primarily be attributed to a $3.5 million decline in gross profit, excluding depreciation of $17.8 million, caused by lower rental yield resulting from a slower ramp in transmission projects compared to distribution projects2022 and a shift in revenue mix, with sales of equipment making up approximately 23.0% of total revenue. Reduced servicing volume in the PTA segment also contributed to the decline inDecember 31, 2021. As previously noted, Adjusted EBITDA.

Average OEC on Rent. Average OEC on rent was $499.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, remaining flat compared2022 due to the same period in 2020, reflecting the slow recovery following the COVID-19 related project delays that negatively impacted OEC on rent beginning with the second quarter of the prior year.
Fleet Utilization. Fleet utilization was 78.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 77.3% over the same period of 2020. Both periods were impacted by COVID-19 related customer project delays and the increase of 1.2% was primarily due to gains in rail and telecom.
OEC On Rent Yield. ORY was 35.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 36.5% over the same period of 2020. Relatively flat ORY was driven by the mix of equipment types on rent and rental fleet mix and lower rental yield from a slower ramp in transmission projects as compared to distribution projects.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historical Liquidity
Our principal sources of liquidity include cash generated by operating activities and borrowings under revolving credit facilities.facilities as described below. We believe that our liquidity sources and operating cash flows are sufficient to address our operating, debt service and capital requirements over the next 12 months; however, we are continuing to monitor the impact of COVID-19 and associated on-going supply chain issues on our business and the financial markets. As of March 31, 2021,2022, we had $3.2$23.8 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $3.4$35.9 million as of December 31, 2020.2021. As of March 31, 2021,2022, we had $260.0$410.1 million of outstanding borrowings under our 2019 CreditABL Facility compared to $251.0$394.9 million of outstanding borrowing under the 2019 CreditABL Facility as of December 31, 2020. In connection with the Acquisition, our debt structure changed significantly. Our debt structure effective as of April 1, 2021 is described below.2021.
ABL Facility
In connection with the Acquisition that closed on April 1, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Nesco Holdings II, Inc., the buyer, as borrower, and the ABL Guarantors (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) entered into the ABL Credit Agreement. The ABL Facility provides for revolving loans, in an amount equal to the lesserAs of the then-currentMarch 31, 2022, borrowing base (described below) and the committed maximum borrowing capacity of $750.0 million, with a $75.0 million swingline sublimit, and letters of credit in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) $50.0 million and (b) the aggregate unused amount of commitmentsavailability under the ABL Facility then in effect. The ABL Facility permits Buyer to incur additional capacity under the ABL Facility in an aggregate amount equal to the greater of (x) $200.0was $330.9 million, and (y) 60.0%outstanding standby letters of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) in additional commitments. As of the Closing Date, Buyer will have no commitments from any lender to provide incremental commitments.
Borrowings under the ABL Facility will be limited by a borrowing base calculation based on the sum of, without duplication:
(a) 90.0% of book value of eligible accounts of Buyer and certain ABL Guarantors; plus
(b) the lesser of (i) 75.0% of book value of eligible parts inventory of Buyer and certain ABL Guarantors (subject to certain exceptions) and (ii) 90.0% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible parts inventory of Buyer and certain ABL Guarantors; plus
(c) the sum of (i) 95.0% of the net book value of the eligible fleet inventory of Buyer and certain ABL Guarantors that has not been appraised and (ii) 85.0% of the net orderly liquidation value of the eligible fleet inventory of Buyer and certain ABL Guarantors that has been appraised; plus
(d) 100.0% of eligible cash of Buyer and certain ABL Guarantors; minus

credit were $4.8 million. Borrowings under the ABL Facility will bear interest at a floating rate, which, at Buyer’s election, will be (a) in the case of U.S. dollar denominated loans, either (i) LIBORthe London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin or (ii) the base rate plus an applicable margin or (b) in the case of Canadian dollar denominated loans, the CDOR rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin varies based on Average Availability (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) from (x) with respect to base rate loans, 0.50% to 1.00% and (y) with respect to LIBOR loans and CDOR rate loans, 1.50% to 2.00%. The ability to draw under the ABL Facility or issue letters of credit thereunder is conditioned upon, among other things, delivery of prior written notice of a borrowing or issuance, as applicable, the ability to reaffirm the representations and warranties contained in the ABL Credit Agreement and the absence of any default or event of default under the ABL Facility.
Buyer is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the ABL Facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder at a rate equal to 0.375% per annum, which may be reduced following the first full fiscal quarter to 0.250% per annum based on average daily usage.

In addition, at any time prior to April 15, 2024, the Issuer may redeem during each calendar year up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Secured Notes at a redemption price equal to 103% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Secured Notes to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date; provided that in any given calendar year, any amount not previously utilized in any calendar year may be carried forward to subsequent calendar years.
Subject to certain exceptions, the holders of the 2029 Secured Notes also have the right to require the Issuer to repurchase their 2029 Secured Notes upon the occurrence of a change in control, as defined in the Indenture, at an offer price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2029 Secured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase.

In connection with any offer to purchase all or any of the 2029 Secured Notes (including a change of control offer and any tender offer), if holders of no less than 90% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Secured Notes validly tender their 2029 Secured Notes, the Issuer or a third party is entitled to redeem any remaining 2029 Secured Notes at the price offered to each holder.
Restrictive Covenants

Item 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKQuantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest rate risk
We are subject to interest rate market risk in connection with our long-term debt. Our principal interest rate exposure relates to outstanding amounts under our asset-based revolving credit facilities. The Company’s 2019 Credit Facility provided for variable rate borrowings of up to $385.0 million, subject to a borrowing base.facility. Interest rate changes generally impact the amount of our interest payments and, therefore, our future net income and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. The 2019 Credit Facility was repaid in full, and all commitments thereunder were terminated, on April 1, 2021. AssumingAs of March 31, 2022, we had completed the Acquisition and related financing transactions and applied the proceeds as of December 31, 2020, we would have had $415.0$410.1 million aggregate principal amount of variable rate debt, consisting of that $415.0 million that will bethe balance outstanding under the ABL Facility. Holding other variables constant, each one-eighth percentage point increase or decrease in the applicable interest rates would correspondingly changedchange our interest expense on the ABL Facility by approximately $0.5 million per year.on an annual basis. This amount does not reflect the impact of the interest rate collar currently in place.
We manage a portion of our risks from exposures to fluctuations in interest rates as part of our risk management program through the use of derivative financial instruments. The objective of controlling these risks is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flows caused by fluctuations, and our primary exposure is from our variable-rate debt. We currently haveDuring the three months ended March 31, 2022, we settled an interest rate collar agreement in place as a hedge against fluctuations in the required interest payments due on variable rate debt. All of our derivative activities are for purposes other than trading.
Fair values of our derivatives can change significantly from period to period based on, among other factors, market movements and changes in our positions. We manage counterparty credit risk (the risk that counterparties will default and not make payments to us according to the terms of our standard master agreements) on an individual counterparty basis.

Item 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURESControls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participationAs of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2021, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report,Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we carried out an evaluation with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that assessment, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of March 31, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide and werenot effective to provide reasonable assurance thatbecause of the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No changematerial weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting (as defineddescribed below.
Inadequate General Information Technology Controls and Business Process Controls
On April 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Custom Truck LP, which resulted in Rules 13a-15(f)a significant change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. We are in the process of integrating policies, processes, people, technology and 15d-15(f) underoperations for the Exchange Act)combined company. As part of this integration, we have identified deficiencies in the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls associated with the control activities component of the COSO framework. These include:
1.During the third quarter ended September 30, 2021, we identified a material weakness in the design and operation of information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) related to an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system that supports the processes related to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Specifically, we did not maintain adequate control over user access to the ERP system to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and to restrict access to financial applications and data to appropriate Company personnel.
2.During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021, we identified control deficiencies related to overall ITGCs for both user access and program change-management for systems supporting all of the Company’s internal control processes and controls, controls over the completeness and accuracy of information used in business process controls and management review controls. Our business process controls (automated and manual) and management review controls were also deemed ineffective because they are adversely impacted by ineffective ITGCs. These control deficiencies could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures that may not be prevented or detected.
Accordingly, these deficiencies constitute material weaknesses. The material weaknesses did not result in any identified misstatements to our consolidated financial statements, and there were no changes to previously released financial results.
(b) Remediation of the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company is in the process of implementing changes associated with the design, implementation, and monitoring information technology general controls in the areas of user access and program change-management for systems supporting all of the Company’s internal control processes to ensure that internal controls are designed and operating effectively. A significant portion of our remediation plan to address the control deficiencies encompass the completion of our new ERP system implementation planned for the second and third quarters of 2022. The new ERP system will allow us to address segregation of duties by establishing user roles specific to the nature of each job function. We are also establishing controls to ensure appropriate authorization of new user access requests, including performance of routine reviews of user access, and controls over program-change management. Additionally, we are in the process of enhancing relevant process level controls that are relevant to the preparation of consolidated financial statements. The material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
(c) Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the ongoing remediation plans described above, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly periodquarter ended March 31, 2021,2022 that hashave materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. On January 14, 2022, we completed the acquisition of Hi-Rail Leasing, Inc. (“Hi-Rail”). In conducting our evaluation of effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we have elected to exclude Hi-Rail from our evaluation, as permitted under existing SEC rules.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGSLegal Proceedings
We may, at any given time, be named as a defendant in certain lawsuits, investigations and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these potential lawsuits, investigations and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect these matters to have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. In the opinion of management, there are no pending litigations, disputes or claims against the Company that, if decided adversely, would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Item 1A.    RISK FACTORSRisk Factors
TheNo material changes occurred to the indicated risk factors presented below amend and restate the risk factors previouslyas disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition to the other information contained in this Form 10-Q, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.2021.
Effective management of our rental equipment is vital to our business and inability to obtain raw materials, component parts and/or finished goods in a timely and cost-effective manner would adversely affect our ability to manufacture and market our products.
Our rental equipment has a long economic life and managing this equipment is a critical element to our business. We must successfully maintain and repair our equipment cost-effectively to maximize the economic life of our products and the level of proceeds from the sale of such products. As the needs of our customers change, we may need to incur costs to relocate or remanufacture our assets to better meet shifts in demand. If the distribution of our assets is not aligned with regional demand, we may be unable to take advantage of opportunities despite excess inventory in other regions. If we are not able to successfully manage our assets, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
We purchase raw materials, component parts and finished goods to be used in the manufacturing and sale of our products. In addition, we may incorporate vehicle chassis provided directly by our customers in our production process. Although the vast majority of our raw materials and component parts are sourced domestically, certain of our suppliers are based overseas, and certain of our domestic suppliers may source subcomponents from overseas. Outbreaks of communicable diseases have been known to occur in certain of these international regions, resulting in public health crises. Changes in our relationships with suppliers, shortages in availability of materials, production delays, regulatory restrictions, public health crises, or other supply chain disruptions, whether due to our suppliers or customers, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to timely manufacture and market products. Increases in the costs of purchased raw materials, component parts or finished goods could result in manufacturing interruptions, delays, inefficiencies or our inability to market products. In addition, our profit margins would decrease if prices of purchased raw materials, component parts or finished goods increase and we are unable to pass on those increases to our customers.
3447


A small portion of our workforce is unionized, and more of our workforce could become unionized in the future, which could negatively impact the stability of our production, materially reduce our profitability and increase the risk of work stoppages.
Our employees have the right at any time under the National Labor Relations Act to form or affiliate with a union, and unions may conduct organizing activities in this regard. If our employees choose to form or affiliate with a union and the terms of a union collective bargaining agreement are significantly different from our current compensation and job assignment arrangements with our employees, these arrangements could negatively impact the stability of our production, materially reduce our profitability and increase the risk of work stoppages. In addition, even if our managed operations remain non-union, our business may still be adversely affected by work stoppages at any of our suppliers that are unionized. The stoppage of work for a prolonged period of time at one, or several, of our principal manufacturing facilities resulting from union or non-union matters, could materially adversely affect our business.
As a small portion of our workforce is unionized, we are subject to risk of work stoppages and other labor relations matters. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 4% of the U.S. hourly workers of Custom Truck One Source, L.P. were represented by a labor union and were covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Any strikes, threats of strikes or other organized disruptions in connection with the negotiation of new labor agreements or other negotiations could materially adversely affect our business as well as impair our ability to implement further measures to reduce costs and improve production efficiencies.
A material disruption to one of our operation and manufacturing locations could adversely affect our ability to generate revenue.
We have several significant production and manufacturing locations. If operations at any of these production and manufacturing locations were disrupted as a result of public health concerns, equipment failures, natural disasters, work stoppages, power outages or other reasons, our business, financial conditions and results of operations could be adversely affected. Interruptions in production could increase costs and delay delivery of units in production. Production capacity limits could cause us to reduce or delay sales efforts until production capacity is available.
Subsequent to the completion of the Acquisition, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
Although we have conducted due diligence in connection with the Acquisition, we cannot assure you that this diligence will surface all material issues that may arise as a result of the consummation of the Acquisition. As a result of these factors, we may be forced to later write down or write off assets, restructure operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if our due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about the post-combination company or its securities.
The cost of new equipment that we purchase for use in our rental fleet or for our sales inventory may increase and therefore we may spend more for such equipment, and in some cases, we may not be able to procure equipment on a timely basis due to supplier constraints.
The cost of new equipment from manufacturers that we purchase for use in our rental fleet may increase as a result of factors beyond our control, such as inflation, higher interest rates and increased raw material costs, including increases in the cost of steel, which is a primary material used in most of the equipment we use. Such increases could materially impact our financial condition or results of operations in future periods if we are not able to pass such cost increases through to our customers in the form of higher prices. In addition, based on changing demands of our customers, the types of equipment we rent to our customers may become obsolete resulting in a negative impact to our financial condition based on the increased capital expenditures required to replace the obsolete equipment, and our potential inability to sell the obsolete equipment in the used equipment market. In addition, we may incur losses upon dispositions of our rental fleet due to residual value risk.
If the average age of our fleet of rental equipment were to increase, the cost of maintaining our equipment, if not replaced within a certain period of time, will likely increase. If our operating costs increase as our rental equipment fleet ages and we are unable to pass along such costs, our earnings will decrease. As of December 31, 2020, the average age of our rental equipment fleet excluding Mexico was approximately 4.0 years, compared to 3.6 years at December 31, 2019, and 3.7 years at December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2020, the average age of Custom Truck’s rental fleet was approximately 2.8 years. The costs of maintenance may materially increase in the future. Any significant increase in such costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In addition, the market value of any given piece of rental equipment could be less than its depreciated value at the time it is sold. The market value of used rental equipment depends on several factors, including:
35


the market price for new equipment of a like kind;
wear and tear on the equipment relative to its age;
the time of year that it is sold (prices are generally higher during the construction seasons);
worldwide and domestic demands for used equipment;
the supply of used equipment on the market; and
general economic conditions.
We include in operating income the difference between the sales price and the depreciated value of equipment sold. Changes in our assumptions regarding depreciation could change our depreciation expense, as well as the gains or losses realized upon disposal of equipment. We cannot assure that used equipment selling prices will not decline. Any significant decline in the selling prices for used equipment could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The combined company will continue to incur significant transaction and transition costs following the Acquisition and related financing transactions.
Nesco and Custom Truck have incurred and the combined company expects to continue to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with the Acquisition and related financing transactions, including integrating and coordinating the two businesses, operations, policies and procedures. The combined company may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. While we have assumed that a certain level of transaction-related expenses will be incurred, factors beyond our control could affect the total amount or the timing of these expenses. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately. These expenses could exceed the costs historically borne by us and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Integration of the Nesco and Custom Truck businesses may be difficult, costly and time-consuming, and the anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Acquisition and related financing transactions may not be realized or may be less than expected.
Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition and related financing transactions will depend, to a large extent, on our ability to integrate the two businesses. The combination of two independent businesses is a complex, costly and time-consuming process and we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully integrate Nesco and Custom Truck or, if the integration is successfully accomplished, that the integration will not be more costly or take longer than presently contemplated. If we cannot successfully integrate and manage the two businesses within a reasonable time following the Acquisition and related financing transactions, we may not be able to realize the potential and anticipated benefits of the Acquisition and related financing transactions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our ability to realize the expected synergies and benefits of the Acquisition and related financing transactions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control. These risks and uncertainties could adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results, and include, among other things:
our ability to complete the timely integration of operations and systems, organizations, standards, controls, procedures, policies and technologies, as well as the harmonization of differences in the business cultures of Nesco and Custom Truck;
our ability to minimize the diversion of management attention from ongoing business concerns during the integration process;
our ability to retain the service of key management and other key personnel;
our ability to preserve customer, supplier and other important relationships and resolve potential conflicts that may arise;
the risk that certain customers and suppliers will opt to discontinue business with the combined business or exercise their right to terminate their agreements as a result of the Acquisition and related financing transactions pursuant to change of control provisions in their agreements or otherwise;
the risk that Custom Truck may have liabilities that we failed to or were unable to discover in the course of performing due diligence;
difficulties in achieving anticipated cost savings, synergies, business opportunities and growth prospects from the combination; and
difficulties in managing the expanded operations of a significantly larger and more complex combined business.
36


We may encounter additional integration-related costs, fail to realize all of the benefits anticipated in the Acquisition and related financing transactions or be subject to other factors that adversely affect preliminary estimates. In addition, even if the operations of the two businesses are integrated successfully, the full benefits of the Acquisition and related financing transactions may not be realized, including the synergies, cost savings or sales or growth opportunities that we expect. The occurrence of any of these events, individually or in combination, could have a material adverse effect on the combined business’ financial condition and operating results.
We expect to achieve pro forma cost synergies totaling approximately $50 million within two years of the closing date of the Acquisition. We also expect to incur integration and restructuring costs of approximately $50 million to achieve these synergies, with $40 million of these costs incurred in the first two years following the closing date. The anticipated synergies are based upon assumptions about our ability to implement integration measures in a timely fashion and within certain cost parameters. Our ability to achieve the planned synergies is dependent upon a significant number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, such as our ability to integrate businesses that we acquire (including the integration of Nesco and Custom Truck), operating difficulties, increased operating costs, delays in implementing initiatives and general economic, competitive or industry conditions. For example, we may be unable to eliminate duplicative costs in a timely fashion or at all. Additionally, achieving these benefits may require certain related one-time costs, charges and expenses, which may be material. We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in generating growth, maintaining or increasing our cash flows or profitability or achieving cost savings and revenue enhancements in connection with the items reflected by these adjustments, and our inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, results of operations and financial position.
The assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma cost synergies are inherently uncertain and, although considered reasonable by Nesco management as of the date of this report, are subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the financial projections, including, among others, risks and uncertainties due to general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions, as well as changes in the combined company’s businesses, financial condition or results of operations, and other risks and uncertainties described in this “Risk Factors” section.
Platinum owns the majority of our equity, and its interests may not be aligned with yours.
Subsequent to the consummation of the Acquisition and related financing transactions, Platinum now owns the majority of our fully diluted shares and, therefore, has the power to control our affairs and policies. Platinum also controls, to a large degree, the election of directors, the appointment of management, the entry into mergers, sales of substantially all of our assets, and other extraordinary transactions. The directors so elected have authority, subject to the terms of our indebtedness, to issue additional stock, implement stock repurchase programs, declare dividends and make other decisions. The interests of Platinum could conflict with your interests; for example, it is in the business of making investments in companies and, from time to time in the future, may acquire interests in businesses that directly or indirectly compete with certain portions of our business or are suppliers or customers of ours. Platinum may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business and, as a result, these acquisition opportunities may not be available to us.
We have, and may incur, significant indebtedness and may be unable to service our debt. This indebtedness could adversely affect our financial position, limit our available cash and our access to additional capital and prevent us from growing our business.
We have a significant amount of indebtedness and may incur additional indebtedness in the future, including in connection with our growth capital expenditure plan. As of December 31, 2020, after giving effect to the Acquisition and related financing transactions, our total indebtedness would have been $1,377 million, consisting of $920.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Secured Notes, $400 million of borrowings under our ABL Facility and capital lease and other debt obligations of $57 million (excluding approximately 360.7 million of indebtedness under our floorplan financing agreements). Although the Indenture and the ABL Credit Agreement contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant exceptions and qualifications, and the additional indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. Moreover, the Indenture does not impose any limitation on our incurrence of certain liabilities or obligations that are not considered “Indebtedness” under the Indenture (such as operating leases), nor does it impose any limitation on the amount of liabilities incurred by our subsidiaries, if any, that might be designated as “unrestricted subsidiaries” under such Indenture. Similarly, the ABL Credit Agreement does not impose any limitation on our incurrence of certain liabilities or obligations that are not considered “Indebtedness” under the agreement (such as operating leases).
The level of our indebtedness could have important consequences, including:
a portion of our cash flow from operations is dedicated to debt service and may not be available for other purposes;
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
37


limiting our ability to obtain financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and potentially impeding our ability to secure favorable lease terms;
exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as borrowings under our ABL Facility will be subject to variable rates of interest;
making us more vulnerable to economic downturns and industry conditions and possibly limiting our ability to withstand competitive pressures;
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors with less indebtedness;
making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our debt;
limiting our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in the industry in which we compete; and
increasing our cost of borrowing.
If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the risks that we now face would intensify.
To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors, some of which are beyond our control. An inability to service our indebtedness could lead to a default under the Indenture or ABL Credit Agreement, which may result in an acceleration of our indebtedness.
To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to pay interest and principal in the future on our indebtedness and to fund our capital expenditures and acquisitions will depend upon our future operating performance and the availability of refinancing indebtedness, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions, the availability of capital, as well as financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.
Our future cash flow may not be sufficient to meet our obligations and commitments. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service our indebtedness and to meet our other commitments, we will be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness, selling material assets or operations or seeking to raise additional debt or equity capital. These actions may not be effected on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms or at all, and these actions may not enable us to continue to satisfy our capital requirements. In addition, our existing debt agreements, including the Indenture and the ABL Credit Agreement, contain, or future debt agreements may contain, restrictive covenants prohibiting us from adopting any of these alternatives. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our indebtedness.
The Indenture and the ABL Credit Agreement impose significant operating and financial restrictions on our company and our subsidiaries, which may prevent us from capitalizing on business opportunities.
The Indenture and the ABL Credit Agreement impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions will limit our ability, among other things, to:
incur additional indebtedness;
pay dividends or certain other distributions on our capital stock or repurchase our capital stock;
make certain investments or other restricted payments;
place restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us;
engage in transactions with stockholders or affiliates;
sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies, reorganize our companies, or suspend or dispose of a substantial portion of our business;
prepay or modify the terms of our other indebtedness;
guarantee indebtedness; and
create liens.
There are limitations on our ability to incur the full $750.0 million of commitments under the ABL Facility. Availability will be limited to the lesser of a borrowing base and $750.0 million. The borrowing base is calculated on a monthly (or more frequent under
38


certain circumstances) valuation of our parts inventory, fleet inventory accounts receivable and unrestricted cash (in each case, subject to customary reserves). As a result, our access to credit under the ABL Facility is potentially subject to significant fluctuations, depending on the value of the borrowing base-eligible assets as of any measurement date. With respect to the ABL Facility, we expect we will also be required by a springing financial covenant to, on any date when Availability (as such term shall be defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the lesser of (A) the aggregate revolving commitments under the ABL Facility at such time and (B) the borrowing base at such time (such lesser amount, the “Line Cap”) and (ii) 60 million, maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00, tested for the four fiscal quarter period ending on the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financials have been delivered, and at the end of each succeeding fiscal quarter thereafter until the date on which Availability has been equal to or greater than the greater of (x) 10% of the Line Cap, and (y) $56 million for 5 consecutive business days. Our ability to meet the financial covenant could be affected by events beyond our control. The inability to borrow under the ABL Facility may adversely affect our liquidity, financial position and results of operations.
These restrictions could limit our ability to obtain future financing, make strategic acquisitions or needed capital expenditures, withstand economic downturns in our business or the economy in general, conduct operations or otherwise take advantage of business opportunities that may arise. A failure to comply with the restrictions in the Indenture and the ABL Credit Agreement could result in an event of default under such instruments or credit agreement. Our future operating results may not be sufficient to enable compliance with the covenants in the Indenture or ABL Credit Agreement or to remedy any such default. In addition, in the event of an acceleration, we may not have or be able to obtain sufficient funds to refinance our indebtedness or make any accelerated payments, including those under the notes and under our ABL Facility. Also, we may not be able to obtain new financing. Even if we were able to obtain new financing, we cannot guarantee that the new financing will be on commercially reasonable terms or terms that are acceptable to us. If we default on our indebtedness, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If we fail to maintain compliance with these covenants in the future, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain waivers from the lenders and/or amend the covenants.
Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.
Borrowings under our ABL Facility are at variable rates of interest and will expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness will increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease. Assuming we had completed the Acquisition and related financing transactions and applied the proceeds as of December 31, 2020, we would have had $415.0 million aggregate principal amount of variable rate debt, consisting of that $415.0 million that will be outstanding under the ABL Facility. Holding other variables constant, each one-eighth percentage point increase or decrease in the applicable interest rates would correspondingly change our interest expense on the ABL Facility by approximately $0.5 million per year. This amount does not reflect the impact of the interest rate collar currently in place. In the future, we may enter into interest rate swaps that involve the exchange of floating for fixed rate interest payments in order to reduce interest rate volatility. However, we may not maintain interest rate swaps with respect to any of our variable rate indebtedness, and any swaps we enter into may not fully mitigate our interest rate risk.
