Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Operations
WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp. (“WillScot Mobile Mini” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a leading business services provider specializing in innovative flexible work space and portable storage solutions in the United States (“US”), Canada and Mexico. The Company leases, sells, delivers and installs mobile solutions and storage products through an integrated network of branch locations that spans North America.
On July 1, 2020, a wholly-owned subsidiary of WillScot Corporation, a Delaware corporation, merged with and into Mobile Mini, Inc. (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, Mobile Mini, Inc. ("Mobile Mini") continued its existence as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of WillScot Corporation (“WillScot”). Immediately following the Merger, WillScot changed its name to “WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp.” and filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “A&R Charter”), which reclassified all outstanding shares of WillScot Class A Common Stock and converted such shares into shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of WillScot Mobile Mini (“WillScot Mobile Mini Common Stock”). The WillScot Class A Common Stock was listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (Nasdaq: WSC) up until the Merger, and the WillScot Mobile Mini Common Stock has been listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (Nasdaq: WSC) since the Merger. As used herein, the term “Common Stock” or “the Company’s Common Stock” refers to WillScot Class A Common Stock prior to filing of the A&R Charter on July 1, 2020 and to WillScot Mobile Mini Common Stock as of and following the filing of the A&R Charter on July 1, 2020. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Company” and “WillScot Mobile Mini” as used in these financial statements mean WillScot and its subsidiaries when referring to periods prior to July 1, 2020 (prior to the Merger) and to WillScot Mobile Mini, when referring to periods on or after July 1, 2020 (after the Merger).
On September 30, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its former Tank and Pump Solutions ("Tank and Pump") segment. On December 12, 2022, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to sell its United Kingdom Storage Solutions ("UK Storage Solutions") segment. The Company completed the sale of the UK Storage Solutions segment on January 31, 2023. The consolidated financial statements present the historical financial results of the former Tank and Pump segment and the UK Storage Solutions segment as income from discontinued operations for all periods presented and the carrying values of the former Tank and Pump segment and the UK Storage Solutions segment assets and liabilities within assets and liabilities held for sale for reporting periods prior to the segments' disposals. See Note 3 for further discussion.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the US (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of WillScot Mobile Mini and its subsidiaries that it controls due to ownership of a majority voting interest. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as WillScot Mobile Mini. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Trade Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company is exposed to credit losses from trade receivables. The Company assesses each customer’s ability to pay for the products it leases or sells by conducting a credit review. The credit review considers expected billing exposure and timing for payment and the customer’s established credit rating. The Company performs its credit review of new customers at inception of the customer relationship and for existing customers when the customer transacts after a defined period of dormancy. The Company also considers contract terms and conditions, country risk and business strategy in the evaluation.
The Company monitors ongoing credit exposure through an active review of customer balances against contract terms and due dates. The Company may employ collection agencies and legal counsel to pursue recovery of defaulted receivables. The allowance for credit losses reflects the estimate of the amount of receivables that the Company will be unable to collect based on historical write-off experience and, as applicable, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability. This estimate is sensitive to changing circumstances, including changes in the economy or in the particular circumstances of individual customers. Accordingly, the Company may be required to increase or decrease its allowances.
Specifically identifiable lease revenue receivables and sales receivables not deemed probable of collection are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The remaining provision for credit losses is recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses.
Activity in the allowance for credit losses for the years ended December 31 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(in thousands) | 2022 | | 2021 | | 2020 |
Balance at beginning of period | $ | 45,773 | | | $ | 28,105 | | | $ | 15,828 | |
Provision for credit losses, net of recoveries(a) | 34,881 | | | 37,469 | | | 30,544 | |
Write-offs | (23,705) | | | (19,777) | | | (18,296) | |
Foreign currency translation and other | 99 | | | (24) | | | 29 | |
Balance at end of period | $ | 57,048 | | | $ | 45,773 | | | $ | 28,105 | |
(a) For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the provision for credit losses included $23.7 million, $19.8 million and $18.3 million, respectively, recorded as a reduction to revenue for the provision of specific receivables whose collection was not considered probable.
The Company’s trade accounts receivable subject the Company to potential concentrations of credit risk. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers. Receivables related to sales are generally secured by the product sold to the customer. The Company generally has the right to repossess its rental units in the event of non-payment of receivables relating to the Company’s leasing operations.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, and finished units for sale. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value based on the weighted-average cost. The cost includes expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition.
Rental Equipment
Rental equipment is comprised of modular space and portable storage units held for rent or on rent to customers and value-added products and services (“VAPS”) which are in use or available to be used by customers. Rental equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Costs of improvements and conversions of rental equipment are capitalized when such costs extend the useful life of the equipment or increase the rental value of the unit. Costs incurred for equipment to meet a particular customer specification are capitalized and depreciated over the lease term taking into consideration the residual value of the asset. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Estimated Useful Life | | Residual Value |
Modular space units | 10 - 30 years | | 20 - 55% |
Portable storage units | 30 years | | 55% |
VAPS and other related rental equipment | 1 - 8 years | | —% |
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
The Company capitalizes external costs and directly attributable internal costs to acquire or create internal use software incurred subsequent to the completion of the preliminary project stage. Costs associated with post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. The Company evaluates implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract as described in Cloud Computing Arrangements below.
Land is not depreciated. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term. Assets leased under capital leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or their useful life, unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:
| | | | | |
| Estimated Useful Life |
Buildings and leasehold improvements | 10 - 40 years |
Vehicles, machinery, and equipment | 3 - 30 years |
Furniture and fixtures | 3 - 10 years |
Software | 3 - 10 years |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
When circumstances indicate the carrying amount of long-lived assets in a held-for-use asset group may not be recoverable, the Company evaluates the assets for potential impairment using internal projections of undiscounted cash flows resulting from the use and eventual disposal of the assets. Events or changes in circumstances that may necessitate a recoverability evaluation include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in the regulatory environment or an expectation it is more likely than not that the asset will be disposed of before the end of its previously estimated useful life. If the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment expense is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value (subject to the carrying amount not being reduced below fair value for any individual long-lived asset that is determinable without undue cost and effort).
Consistent with the provisions of ASC 842, the Company assesses whether any operating lease asset impairment exists in accordance with the measurement guidance in Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 360, Property Plant and Equipment.
Cloud Computing Arrangements
In accordance with ASU 2018-15, Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) (“ASC 350-40"), the Company evaluates implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract under the internal-use software framework. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the development stage are generally capitalized as other assets. Amortization expense is calculated on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the cloud computing arrangement and recorded as selling, general and administrative expense.
Purchase Accounting
The Company accounts for acquisitions of businesses under the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company records assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets and is assigned to the Company's reporting units that are expected to benefit from the acquisition. When appropriate, our estimates of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired include assistance from independent third-party valuation firms. Valuations are finalized as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date. Any subsequent changes to purchase price allocations result in a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Transaction costs are expensed in the acquisition of a business.
Long-lived assets (principally rental equipment), goodwill and other intangible assets generally represent the largest components of our acquisitions. Rental equipment is valued utilizing a replacement cost approach. Intangible assets are recognized at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition and generally consist of customer relationships and trade names. Determination of the estimated fair value of intangible assets requires judgment. The estimated fair value of customer relationships is determined based on estimates and judgments regarding discounted future after-tax earnings and cash flows arising from lease renewals and new lease arrangements expected from customer relationships. The fair value of trade name intangible assets is determined utilizing the relief from royalty method. Under this form of the income approach, a royalty rate based on observed market royalties is applied to projected revenue supporting the trade name and discounted to present value.
Acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions. An asset acquisition is accounted for by allocating the cost of the acquisition to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. Goodwill is not recognized in an asset acquisition. Any consideration in excess of net assets acquired is allocated to qualifying acquired assets on a relative fair value basis. The Company measures the fair value of assets acquired utilizing observable market transaction data for comparable assets or recent purchase prices. Transaction costs are considered a component of the cost of an asset acquisition.
Evaluation of Goodwill Impairment
For acquired businesses, the Company records assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The Company performs its annual impairment test of goodwill at the reporting unit level as of October 1, as well as during any reporting period in which events or changes in circumstances occur that, in management’s judgment, may constitute triggering events under ASC 350-20, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. Generally, reporting units are at the operating segment level or one level below the operating segment (the component level), if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by segment management. The Company performs its assessment of goodwill utilizing either a qualitative or quantitative impairment test. The qualitative
impairment test assesses company-specific, industry, market and general economic factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, or elects not to use the qualitative impairment test, a quantitative impairment test is performed. The quantitative impairment test involves a comparison of the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount. The Company uses an independent valuation specialist for its quantitative impairment tests to assist in the valuation.
Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions include revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate projected future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates, value of net operating losses, future economic and market conditions and determination of appropriate market comparables. Management bases fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Actual future results may differ from these estimates.
If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the calculated fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment charge would be recognized for the excess, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill
Intangible assets that are acquired by the Company and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized but are tested for impairment at least annually. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of the Williams Scotsman and Mobile Mini trade names. The Company performs its assessment of indefinite-lived intangible assets utilizing either a qualitative or quantitative impairment test. When utilizing a quantitative impairment test, the Company calculates fair value using a relief-from-royalty method. This method is used to estimate the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset who would otherwise have to pay royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge would be recorded to the extent the recorded indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds the fair value.
Other intangible assets that have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss over the estimated useful lives of the intangible asset.
Retirement Benefit Obligation
The Company provides benefits to certain of its employees under defined contribution benefit plans. The Company’s contributions to these plans are generally based on a percentage of employee compensation or employee contributions. These plans are funded on a current basis. For its US and Canada employees, the Company sponsors defined contribution benefit plans that have discretionary matching contribution and profit-sharing features. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company made matching contributions of $13.8 million, $10.9 million and $7.1 million to these plans, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to the Merger, stock awards were granted under the WillScot Corporation 2017 Incentive Award Plan (the "2017 Incentive Plan"), which included Restricted Stock Awards ("RSAs") and Restricted Stock Units. On June 24, 2020, WillScot's stockholders approved the WillScot Mobile Mini 2020 Incentive Award Plan ("2020 Incentive Plan") to take effect pending completion of the Merger and, as a result, all future incentive awards are granted under the 2020 Incentive Plan. The 2020 Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. Under the 2020 Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant an aggregate of 6,488,988 shares of Common Stock in the form of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSAs, RSUs, performance compensation awards and stock bonus awards. Stock-based payments, including the grant of stock options, RSAs and RSUs, are subject to service-based vesting requirements, and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.
Stock-based compensation expense includes grants of stock options, time-based RSUs ("Time-Based RSUs") and performance-based RSUs ("Performance-Based RSUs", together with Time-Based RSUs, the "RSUs"). RSUs are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value. In addition, stock-based payments to non-executive directors include grants of RSAs. Time-Based RSUs and RSAs are valued based on the intrinsic value of the difference between the exercise price, if any, of the award and the fair market value of WillScot Mobile Mini's Common Stock on the grant date. Performance-Based RSUs are valued based on a Monte Carlo simulation model to reflect the impact of the Performance-Based RSUs market condition. The probability of satisfying a market condition is considered in the estimation of the grant-date fair value for Performance-Based RSUs and the compensation cost is not reversed if the market condition is not achieved, provided the requisite service has been provided.
RSAs cliff vest in a one year period. Time-Based RSUs vest ratably over a period of four years. Certain Performance-Based RSUs cliff vest based on achievement of the relative total stockholder return ("TSR") of the Company's Common Stock as compared to the TSR of the constituents in an Index at the grant date over the performance period of three years. For certain 2022 and 2021 grants, the TSR of the Company's Common Stock is compared to the TSR of the constituents in the S&P 400 index. The target number of RSUs may be adjusted from 0% to 200% based on the TSR attainment levels defined by the Compensation Committee. The 100% target payout is tied to performance at the 50% percentile, with a payout curve ranging from 0% (for performance less than the 25% percentile) to 200% (for performance at or above the 85% percentile). For grants in 2020 and prior, the TSR of the Company's Common Stock is compared to the TSR of constituents in the Russell 3000 index. The target number of RSUs may be adjusted from 0% to 150% based on the TSR attainment levels defined by the Compensation Committee. The 100% target payout is tied to performance at the 50% percentile, with a payout curve ranging
from 0% (for performance less than the 25% percentile) to 150% (for performance at or above the 75% percentile). Vesting is also subject to continued service requirements through the vesting date.
For 555,790 Performance-Based RSUs granted in 2021, the awards cliff vest based on achievement of specified share prices of the Company's Common Stock at annual measurement dates over performance periods of 4.5 years to 4.8 years. The target number of RSUs may be adjusted from 0 to 1,333,334 based on the stock price attainment levels defined by the Company's Compensation Committee. The 555,790 RSU target payout is tied to a stock price of $47.50, with a payout ranging from 0 RSUs (for a stock price less than $42.50) to 1,333,334 RSUs (for a stock price of $60.00 or greater).
Stock options vest in tranches over a period of four years and expire ten years from the grant date. The fair value of each stock option award on the grant date is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected dividend yield, expected stock price volatility, weighted-average risk-free interest rate and weighted-average expected term of the options. The volatility assumption used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model was based on a blend of peer group volatility and Company trading history as the Company did not have a sufficient trading history as a stand-alone public company to rely exclusively on its own trading history. Future calculations may use the Company trading history. Additionally, due to an insufficient history with respect to stock option activity and post-vesting cancellations, the expected term assumption was based on the simplified method under GAAP, which is based on the vesting period and contractual term for each tranche of awards. The mid-point between the weighted-average vesting term and the expiration date is used as the expected term under this method. The risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes model is based on the implied US Treasury bill yield curve at the date of grant with a remaining term equal to the Company’s expected term assumption. WillScot Mobile Mini has never declared or paid a cash dividend on common shares.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The Company’s reporting currency is the US Dollar (“USD”). Exchange rate adjustments resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized in profit or loss, whereas effects resulting from the translation of financial statements are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is a component of shareholders’ equity.
The assets and liabilities of subsidiaries whose functional currency is different from the USD are translated into USD at exchange rates at the reporting date and income and expenses are translated using average exchange rates for the respective period.
Exchange rate adjustments resulting from transactions in foreign currencies (currencies other than the Company entities’ functional currencies) are remeasured to the respective functional currencies using exchange rates at the dates of the transactions and are recognized in currency (gains) losses on the consolidated statements of operations.
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from a receivable or payable to a consolidated Company entity, the settlement of which is neither planned nor anticipated in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of a net investment in the Company entity and are included within accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on variable rate debt and currency exchange rates. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company records derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other non-current assets (if in an unrealized gain position) or within accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities (if in an unrealized loss position). If a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge and meets the highly effective threshold, the changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the cash flow hedges are reclassified to earnings when the hedged item impacts earnings. For any derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, changes in fair value would be recognized in earnings in the period that the change occurs. The Company assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing quarterly basis, whether the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are highly effective in offsetting the changes in cash flows of the hedged items. In the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash inflows and outflows related to derivative instruments are presented based on the underlying nature of the hedged items.
The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments only with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.
Revenue Recognition
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.
Leasing and Services Revenue
The majority of revenue is generated by rental income subject to the guidance in ASC 842. The remaining revenue is generated by performance obligations in contracts with customers for services or sale of units subject to the guidance in Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASC 606").
Leasing Revenue
Income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company's lease arrangements can include multiple lease and non-lease components. Examples of lease components include, but are not limited to, the lease of modular space and portable storage units and VAPS. Examples of non-lease components include, but are not limited to, the delivery, installation, maintenance, and removal services commonly provided in a bundled transaction with the lease components. Arrangement consideration is allocated between lease deliverables and non-lease components based on the relative estimated selling (leasing) price of each deliverable. Estimated selling (leasing) price of the lease deliverables is based upon the estimated stand-alone selling price of the related performance obligations using an adjusted market approach.
When leases and services are billed in advance, recognition of revenue is deferred until services are rendered. If equipment is returned prior to the contractually obligated period, the excess, if any, between the amount the customer is contractually required to pay over the cumulative amount of revenue recognized to date is recognized as incremental revenue upon return.
Rental equipment is leased primarily under operating leases. Operating lease minimum contractual terms within the Modular segment, as defined in Note 18, generally range from 1 month to 60 months and averaged approximately 10 months across this segment's rental fleet for the year ended December 31, 2022. Rental contracts with customers within the Storage segment, as defined in Note 18, are generally based on a 28-day rate and billing cycle. The rental continues until cancelled by the Company or the customer. The Company records changes in estimated collectability directly against leasing revenue.
The Company may use third parties to satisfy its performance obligations, including both the provision of VAPS and other services. To determine whether it is the principal or agent in the arrangement, the Company reviews each third-party relationship on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company is considered an agent when its role is to arrange for another entity to provide the VAPS and other services to the customer. In these instances, the Company does not control the rental unit or service before it is provided and the risk of performance is held by the third party. The Company is considered the principal when it controls the VAPS or other services prior to transferring control to the customer and retains the risk of performance. WillScot Mobile Mini may be a principal in the fulfillment of some leasing contracts and services elements and an agent for other elements within the same contract. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis when the Company is the principal in the arrangement and on a net basis when it is the agent.
Services Revenue
The Company generally has three non-lease service-related performance obligations in its contracts with customers:
•Delivery and installation of the modular or portable storage unit;
•Maintenance and other ad hoc services performed during the lease term; and
•Removal services that occur at the end of the lease term.
Consideration is allocated to each of these performance obligations within the contract based upon their estimated relative standalone selling prices using the estimated cost plus a margin approach. Revenue from these activities is recognized as the services are performed.
Sales Revenue
Sales revenue is generated by the sale of new and rental units. Revenue from the sale of new and rental units is generally recognized at a point in time upon the transfer of control to the customer, which occurs when the unit is delivered and installed in accordance with the contract. Sales transactions constitute a single performance obligation.
Other Matters
The Company's non-lease revenues do not include material amounts of variable consideration, other than the variability noted for services arrangements expected to be performed beyond a twelve-month period.
The Company's payment terms vary by the type and location of its customer and the product or services offered. The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. While the Company may bill certain customers in advance, its contracts do not contain a significant financing component based on the short length of time between upfront billings and the performance of contracted services. For certain products, services, or customer types, the Company requires payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer. At December 31, 2022, current deferred revenue and customer deposits included deferred revenue of $195.8 million and customer deposits of $8.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, current deferred revenue and customer deposits included deferred revenue of $150.1 million and customer deposits of $2.2 million, respectively.
Revenue is recognized net of sales tax billed to customers, which is subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Leases as Lessee
The Company leases real estate for certain of its branch offices, administrative offices, rental equipment storage properties, vehicles and equipment, and administrative operations. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Leases are classified as either finance or operating at inception of the lease, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Short-term leases, defined as leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has leases that contain both lease and non-lease components and has elected, as an accounting policy, to not separate lease components and non-lease components. Right of use ("ROU") assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease liability is calculated as the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments for existing leases using either the rate implicit in the lease or, if none exists, the Company's incremental borrowing rate, as the discount rate. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments for those leases where the implicit rate is not known. The Company's incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what would be the Company's secured credit rating. Variable lease payments are expensed in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Variable lease payments include payments for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, management fees and insurance.
Many of the Company’s real estate lease agreements include one or more options to extend the lease, which are not included in the minimum lease terms unless the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise the option. Additionally, the Company’s leases do not generally include options to terminate the lease prior to the end of the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Advertising and Promotion
Advertising and promotion costs, which are expensed as incurred, were $8.5 million, $7.6 million and $7.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Shipping Costs
The Company includes third-party costs to deliver rental equipment to customers in costs of leasing and services, and cost of sales.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company records deferred tax assets to the extent it believes that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce the deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.
The Company assesses the likelihood that each of the deferred tax assets will be realized. To the extent management believes realization of any deferred tax assets is not likely, the Company establishes a valuation allowance. When a valuation allowance is established or there is an increase in an allowance in a reporting period, tax expense is generally recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Conversely, to the extent circumstances indicate that a valuation allowance is no longer necessary, that portion of the valuation allowance is reversed, which generally reduces the Company’s income tax expense.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for the income taxes on the undistributed earnings of wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries unless such earnings are indefinitely reinvested, or will only be repatriated when possible to do so at minimal additional tax cost. Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in profit (loss) for the year.
In accordance with applicable authoritative guidance, the Company accounts for uncertain income tax positions using a benefit recognition model with a two-step approach; a more-likely-than-not recognition criterion; and a measurement approach that measures the position as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If it is not more-likely-than-not that the benefit of the tax position will be sustained on its technical merits, no benefit is recorded. Uncertain tax positions that relate only to timing of when an item is included on a tax return are considered to have met the recognition threshold. The Company classifies interest on tax deficiencies and income tax penalties within income tax expense.
The Company accounts for any impacts of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") in the period in which they are incurred.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are prioritized into three levels that may be used to measure fair value. See further discussion of the levels in Note 15.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
ASU 2021-08. Business Combinations (Topic 815): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2021-08"). ASU 2021-08 requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective date. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this guidance, which will depend on the contract assets and liabilities acquired in future business combinations.

During 2022, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of 13 smaller entities, which consisted primarily of approximately 14,100 storage units and 4,400 modular units for $220.6 million in cash.

NOTE 3 - Discontinued Operations
Tank and Pump Divestiture
On September 30, 2022, the Company sold its former Tank and Pump segment for $321.9 million. Exiting the former Tank and Pump segment represented the Company’s strategic shift to concentrate its operations on its core modular and storage businesses. In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company ceased recording depreciation and amortization for the former Tank and Pump segment rental fleet, property, plant and equipment, and operating lease assets during the third quarter of 2022 when the former Tank and Pump segment initially qualified as held for sale. In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations, the criteria for discontinued operations presentation were met during the third quarter of 2022 and results for the former Tank and Pump segment were reported in income from discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The carrying values of the divested business' assets and liabilities were presented within assets and liabilities held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.
As part of the divestiture, the Company entered into a customary transition services agreement with the buyer to assist them in the transition of certain functions, including, but not limited to, information technology, accounting and human resources, for a period of six months with an option for the buyer to extend the agreement for a period of up to twelve months. There was no significant continuing involvement with the former Tank and Pump segment after its disposal.
UK Storage Solutions Divestiture
On December 12, 2022, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell its UK Storage Solutions segment for cash consideration of £335.0 million, subject to certain adjustments.

The Company will record a gain on the sale of the UK Storage Solutions segment in the first quarter of 2023. Exiting the UK Storage Solutions segment represented the Company’s strategic shift to concentrate its operations on its core modular and storage businesses in North America. The Company ceased recording depreciation and amortization for the UK Storage Solutions segment rental fleet, property, plant
and equipment, and operating lease assets during the fourth quarter of 2022 when the UK Storage Solutions segment initially qualified as held for sale. The criteria for discontinued operations presentation were met and results for the UK Storage Solutions segment were reported in income from discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The carrying value of the UK Storage Solutions segment's assets and liabilities were presented within assets and liabilities held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Receivables
The Company manages credit risk associated with its accounts receivables at the customer level. Because the same customers generate the revenues that are accounted for under both ASC 606 and ASC 842, the discussions below on credit risk and the Company's allowance for credit losses address the Company's total revenues.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to the Company's receivables is limited because of a large number of geographically diverse customers who operate in a variety of end user markets. No single customer accounted for more than 1.7% and 1.6% of the Company’s receivables at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company's top five customers with the largest open receivables balances represented 5.4% and 5.6% of the total receivables balance as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company manages credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, and other monitoring procedures.
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 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, and the Company may be required to increase or decrease its allowance. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized bad debt expense to reflect changes in the allowance for credit losses of $10.4 million, $16.4 million, and $12.7 million, respectively, within SG&A expense in its consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the provision for credit losses included $23.7 million, $19.8 million and $18.3 million, respectively, recorded as a reduction to revenue for the provision of specific receivables whose collection was not considered probable.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
When customers are billed in advance for services, the Company defers recognition of revenue until the related services are performed, which generally occurs at the end of the contract. The balance sheet classification of deferred revenue is determined based on the contractual lease term. For contracts that continue beyond their initial contractual lease term, revenue continues to be deferred until the services are performed. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, $47.2 million, $38.8 million and $35.6 million, respectively, of deferred revenue relating to these services, was recognized as revenue. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had approximately $102.2 million and $74.4 million, respectively, of deferred revenue related to these services.
The Company does not have material contract assets, and it did not recognize any material impairments of any contract assets.
The Company's uncompleted contracts with customers have unsatisfied (or partially satisfied) performance obligations. For the future services revenues that are expected to be recognized within twelve months, the Company has elected to utilize the optional disclosure exemption made available regarding transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations. The transaction price for performance obligations that will be completed in greater than twelve months is variable based on the costs ultimately incurred to provide those services and therefore the Company is applying the optional exemption to omit disclosure of such amounts.
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 on the sale of new and rental units. For new 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.

Asset Backed Lending Facility
On July 1, 2020, in connection with the completion of the Merger, Williams Scotsman Holdings Corp ("Holdings"), WSII, and certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a new asset-based credit agreement that initially provided for revolving credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2.4 billion, consisting of: (i) a senior secured asset-based US dollar revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion (the "US Facility"), available to WSII and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "US Borrowers"), and (ii) a $400.0 million senior secured asset-based multicurrency revolving credit facility (the "Multicurrency Facility," together with the US Facility, the "ABL Facility"), available to be drawn in US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling or Euros by the US Borrowers and certain of WSII's wholly-owned subsidiaries organized in Canada and in the UK. On July 1, 2020, in connection with the completion of the Merger, approximately $1.47 billion of proceeds from the ABL Facility were used to repay an asset-based credit agreement entered into by the Company in 2017 and an asset-backed lending facility assumed in the transaction with Mobile Mini, as well as, to pay fees and expenses related to the Merger and the related financing transactions. In connection with these repayments, the Company wrote off $4.4 million of deferred financing costs to loss on extinguishment of debt. The ABL Facility was initially scheduled to mature on July 1, 2025.
Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at a base rate plus an applicable margin determined quarterly by reference to the Company's excess availability for the most recently completed quarter. Borrowings under the ABL Facility initially bore interest at (i) in the case of US Dollars, at WSII's option, either an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.875% or an alternative base rate plus 0.875%, (ii) in the case of Canadian Dollars, at WSII's option, either a Canadian BA rate plus 1.875% or Canadian prime rate plus 0.875%, and (iii) in the case of Euros and British Pounds Sterling, an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 1.875%. Effective January 7, 2022, borrowings were subject to the highest applicable margin and bore interest at (i) in the case of US Dollars, at the borrower's option, either an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 2.125% or an alternative base rate plus 1.125%, (ii) in the case of Canadian Dollars, at the borrower's option, either a Canadian BA rate plus 2.125% or Canadian prime rate plus 1.125%, (iii) in the case of Euros, the EURIBOR rate plus 2.125%, and (iv) in the case of British Pounds Sterling, the SONIA rate plus 2.125%. On December 13, 2021, due to the upcoming transition of LIBOR, the ABL Facility was amended to adjust the rate for borrowings denominated in Euros from a LIBOR-based rate to the EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) rate plus 1.875% and to adjust the rate of borrowings denominated in British Pounds Sterling from a LIBOR-based rate to the SONIA (Sterling Overnight Index Average) rate plus 1.9076%. On December 16, 2021, the ABL Facility was amended to permit (i) the merger of WSII with and into Williams Scotsman, Inc. ("WSI") and (ii) WSI to assume the duties and obligations of WSII, the administrative borrower of the ABL Facility.
On June 30, 2022, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into an amendment to the ABL Facility to, among other things, extend the expiration date until June 30, 2027 and increase the aggregate principal amount of the revolving credit facilities to $3.7 billion, consisting of: (i) a senior secured asset-based US dollar revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $3.3 billion (the “US Facility”) and (ii) a $400.0 million senior secured asset-based multicurrency revolving credit facility (the "Multicurrency Facility"), available to be drawn in US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling or Euros. The amendment also converted the interest rate for borrowings denominated in US dollars from a LIBOR-based rate to a Term SOFR-based rate with an interest period of one month and adjusted the applicable margins. The applicable margin for Canadian BA rate, Term SOFR, British Pounds Sterling and Euros loans is 1.50%. The facility includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% in addition to the applicable margin. The applicable margin for base rate and Canadian Prime Rate loans is 0.50%. The applicable margins are subject to one step down of 0.25% based on excess availability or one step up of 0.25% based on the Company's leverage ratio. The ABL Facility requires the payment of an annual commitment fee on the unused available borrowings of 0.2% annually. At December 31, 2022, the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the ABL Facility was 5.91%.
Borrowing availability under the US Facility and the Multicurrency Facility is equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate Revolver Commitments and (ii) the Borrowing Base ("Line Cap"). At December 31, 2022, the Line Cap was $3.0 billion and the Borrowers had approximately $1.0 billion of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility, including $705.0 million under the US Facility and $309.1 million under the Multicurrency Facility. Borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility is made available for up to $205.9 million of letters of credit and up to $220.0 million of swingline loans. At December 31, 2022, letters of credit
and bank guarantees carried fees of 1.625%. The Company had issued $14.1 million of standby letters of credit under the ABL Facility at December 31, 2022.
The Company had approximately $2.0 billion outstanding principal under the ABL Facility at December 31, 2022. Debt issuance costs of $31.8 million were included in the carrying value of the ABL Facility at December 31, 2022.
The obligations of the US Borrowers are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned US organized restricted subsidiary of Holdings, other than excluded subsidiaries (together with Holdings, the "US Guarantors"). The obligations of the Multicurrency Borrowers are unconditionally guaranteed by the US Borrowers and the US Guarantors, and each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned Canadian organized restricted subsidiary of Holdings other than certain excluded subsidiaries (together with the US Guarantors, the "ABL Guarantors").
2025 Senior Secured Notes
In anticipation of the Merger, on June 15, 2020, Picasso Finance Sub, Inc., a newly-formed indirect finance subsidiary (the "Finance Sub") of the Company completed a private offering of $650.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.125% senior secured notes due 2025 (the "2025 Secured Notes") to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Rule 144A"). In connection with the completion of the Merger, on July 1, 2020, the proceeds were used to repay the 2022 Senior Secured Notes, repay Mobile Mini senior notes assumed in the acquisition and pay certain fees and expenses related to the Merger and the related financing transactions. In addition, Finance Sub was merged into WSII on July 1, 2020. The Company recorded $14.3 million in deferred financing fees related to the 2025 Secured Notes.
The 2025 Secured Notes mature on June 15, 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 6.125% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning December 15, 2020. If the Company undergoes a change of control or sells certain of its assets, the Company may be required to offer to repurchase the 2025 Secured Notes. Unamortized deferred financing costs pertaining to the 2025 Secured Notes were $6.2 million as of December 31, 2022.
In the first quarter of 2021, using cash on hand and borrowings on the ABL Facility, the Company redeemed 10% of the outstanding principal, or $65.0 million, of its 2025 Secured Notes and recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statement of operations of $3.2 million comprised of a redemption premium of $1.9 million and write off of unamortized deferred financing fees of $1.3 million. In the second quarter of 2021, using cash on hand and borrowings on the ABL Facility, the Company redeemed 10% of the outstanding principal, or $58.5 million, of its 2025 Secured Notes and recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statement of operations of $2.8 million comprised of a redemption premium of $1.8 million and write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees of $1.0 million.
On and after June 15, 2022, the Company may redeem the 2025 Secured Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices expressed as percentages of principal amount set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the applicable redemption date, subject to the holders' right to receive interest due on an interest payment date falling on or prior to the redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 15 of each of the years set forth below.

NOTE 11 - Equity
Preferred Stock
WillScot Mobile Mini's certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has zero shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
WillScot Mobile Mini's certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. The Company has 207,951,682 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2022. The outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
On June 30, 2020, as contemplated by the Merger, Sapphire Holdings exchanged each of its shares of common stock of Holdings for 1.3261 shares of newly issued WillScot Class A Common Stock (the "Sapphire Exchange"). As a result of the Sapphire Exchange, all issued and outstanding shares of WillScot's Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, were automatically canceled for no consideration and the existing exchange agreement was automatically terminated. As a result of the Sapphire Exchange, Sapphire Holdings became a wholly-owned subsidiary of WillScot. Sapphire Holdings received 10,641,182 shares of Common Stock of WillScot in the Sapphire Exchange. Prior to the Sapphire Exchange, Sapphire Holdings' ownership of Holdings was recorded as a non-controlling interest in the consolidated financial statements. Subsequent to the Sapphire Exchange, the Company's subsidiaries are each wholly owned and there is no non-controlling interest. As a result of the Sapphire Exchange, non-controlling interest of $63.9 million was reclassified to $66.9 million of additional paid-in-capital and $3.0 million to accumulated other comprehensive loss, on the consolidated balance sheet.
In connection with the Merger on July 1, 2020, the Company issued 106,426,722 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for Mobile Mini Common Stock outstanding and subsequently filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which reclassified all outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock and converted such shares into shares of Common Stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, of WillScot Mobile Mini.
In connection with stock compensation vesting and stock option exercises described in Note 16, and the warrant exercises described below, the Company issued 3,847,905, 6,752,647 and 3,151,400 shares of Common Stock during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Stock Repurchase Program
On August 7, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorized the Company to repurchase up to $250 million of its outstanding shares of Common Stock and equivalents. In April 2021, the Board of Directors approved an increase in repurchase authority up to $500 million. In October 2021, the Board of Directors replaced the existing share repurchase program with a new share repurchase program that authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its outstanding shares of Common Stock and equivalents. In July 2022, the Board of Directors approved an increase to the share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its outstanding shares of Common Stock and equivalents. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares, and the timing and exact amount of any repurchases will depend on various factors, including market pricing, business, legal, accounting, and other considerations. The Company may repurchase its shares in open market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with federal securities laws, at the Company's discretion. The repurchase program, which has no expiration date, may be increased, suspended, or terminated at any time. The program is expected to be implemented over the course of several years and will be conducted subject to the covenants in the agreements governing indebtedness.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 19,854,424 shares of Common Stock and stock equivalents for $756.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company repurchased 12,878,490 shares of Common Stock and stock equivalents for $365.9 million. As of December 31, 2022, $630.8 million of the approved repurchase pool remained available.

Deferred tax liability | (941,303) | | | (879,563) | |
Net deferred income tax liability | $ | (431,375) | | | $ | (354,879) | |
As of December 31, 2022, the net deferred income tax liability presented in the table above included net deferred tax liability of $29.7 million ($33.7 million of deferred tax liability, net of $4.0 million of deferred tax asset) related to the UK Storage Solutions segment and recorded in liabilities held for sale - non-current on the consolidated balance sheet.
As of December 31, 2021, the net deferred income tax liability presented in the table above included net deferred tax liability of $32.1 million ($36.8 million of deferred tax liability, net of $4.7 million of deferred tax asset) and $17.1 million ($37.2 million of deferred tax liability, net of $21.3 million of gross deferred tax asset, which was net of $1.2 million of valuation allowance) included in liabilities held for sale - non-current related to the UK Storage Solutions segment and the former Tank and Pump segment, respectively. See Note 3 for further information.
In general, ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) requires us to evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets and reduce the deferred tax assets by valuation allowances to the extent we determine some or all of our deferred tax assets are not more likely than not realizable. To determine the realizability, ASC 740 requires consideration of sources of available taxable income of the proper character and within the time period before which our deferred tax assets, if any, expire due to the passage of time.
The Company's valuation allowance decreased by $8.1 million from 2021, primarily related to a $7.1 million reduction to the valuation allowance on state NOL where the Company determined that it is more likely than not realizable due to sufficient current and future taxable income. Additionally, the valuation allowance decreased by $1.0 million from 2021 due to the sale of the former Tank and Pump segment.
Tax loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2022 are outlined in the table below and include US Federal, US State and foreign (Canada and Mexico). The availability of these tax losses to offset future income varies by jurisdiction. Furthermore, the ability to utilize the tax losses may be subject to additional limitations upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a change in the ownership of the Company. Some of the Company’s tax attributes are subject to annual limitations due to historical changes in ownership from acquisitions, mergers or other related ownership shift events; however, the Company anticipates that our remaining available net operating losses will be consumed prior to their expiration.
The Company’s tax loss carryforwards are as follows at December 31, 2022:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(in thousands) | Loss Carryforward | | Deferred Tax | | Expiration |
Jurisdiction: | | | | | |
US - Federal | $ | 1,011,711 | | | $ | 209,119 | | | 2027 – 2037, Indefinite |
US - State | 484,295 | | | 23,395 | | | 2023 –2037, Indefinite |
Foreign - Canada and Mexico | 2,595 | | | 619 | | | 2032 – 2037 |
Total | $ | 1,498,601 | | | $ | 233,133 | | | |
As of December 31, 2022, the total amount of the basis difference in investments outside the US, which are indefinitely reinvested and for which deferred taxes have not been provided, is approximately $139.5 million. The basis difference decreased in 2022 due to the basis difference in the UK no longer being deemed indefinitely reinvested following classification of the UK Storage Solution segment as held for sale. The tax, if any, associated with the recovery of the basis difference is dependent on the manner in which it is recovered and is not readily determinable.
Unrecognized Tax Positions
The Company is subject to taxation in US, Canada, Mexico, and state jurisdictions. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by the applicable tax authorities prior to the expiration of statute of limitations for assessing additional taxes, which generally ranges from two to five years after the end of the applicable tax year. As of December 31, 2022, generally, tax years for 2015 through 2021 remain subject to examination by the tax authorities. In addition, in certain taxing jurisdictions, in the case of carryover tax attributes to years open for assessment, such attributes may be subject to reduction by taxing authorities.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(in thousands) | 2022 | | 2021 | | 2020 |
Unrecognized tax benefits – January 1, | $ | 44,314 | | | $ | 54,494 | | | $ | 63,747 | |
Increases based on tax positions related to current period | — | | | — | | | 1,211 | |
Increases based on tax positions related to prior period | — | | | 9 | | | — | |
| | | | | |
Decrease from expiration of statute of limitations | (687) | | | (10,189) | | | (10,464) | |
Unrecognized tax benefits – December 31, | $ | 43,627 | | | $ | 44,314 | | | $ | 54,494 | |
At December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, there were $42.3 million, $43.3 million and $53.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate.
The Company classifies interest on tax deficiencies and income tax penalties within income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized approximately $0.1 million, $1.0 million, and $0.9 million in interest, respectively. The Company accrued approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the payment of interest at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Future tax settlements or statute of limitation expirations could result in a change to the Company’s uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2022, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $0.6 million of
unrecognized tax benefits could decrease in the next twelve months as a result of the expiration of statutes of limitation, audit settlements or resolution of tax uncertainties.
NOTE 14 - Derivatives
Interest Rate Swap
In 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap Agreement”) with a financial counterparty that effectively converted $400.0 million in aggregate notional amount of variable-rate debt under the Company’s ABL Facility into fixed-rate debt. Under the terms of the Swap Agreement, the Company received a floating rate equal to one-month LIBOR and made payments based on a fixed rate of 3.06% on the notional amount. The Swap Agreement was designated and qualified as a hedge of the Company’s exposure to changes in interest payment cash flows created by fluctuations in variable interest rates on the ABL Facility.

Foreign Currency Contract
In December 2022, the Company executed a contingent forward contract to sell £330.0 million upon the closing of the sale of the UK Storage Solutions segment at a price ranging from 1.20550 to 1.20440 USD to British Pounds Sterling. The price was dependent upon the date of the closing of the sale. This contract, which was to expire on September 11, 2023, mitigated the foreign currency risk of the USD relative to the British Pound Sterling prior to the closing of the sale of the UK Storage Solutions segment. This contract did not qualify for hedge accounting and was revalued at fair value at the reporting period with unrealized gains and losses reflected in the Company's results of operations. Upon the closing of the sale of the UK Storage Solutions segment on January 31, 2023, the Company settled the contingent forward contract and received cash at an exchange rate of 1.205 USD to British Pounds Sterling.

NOTE 15 - Fair Value Measures
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
The Company utilizes the suggested accounting guidance for the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| | | | | |
Level 1 - | Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
Level 2 - | Observable inputs, other than Level 1 inputs in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
Level 3 - | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions |
The Company has assessed that the fair value of cash and short-term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables, capital lease and other financing obligations, and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts.
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| December 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 |
| Carrying Amount | Fair Value | Carrying Amount | Fair Value |

(a) The carrying values of the ABL Facility, the 2025 Secured Notes, and the 2028 Secured Notes included $31.8 million, $6.2 million, and $6.5 million of unamortized debt issuance costs as of December 31, 2022, which were presented as a direct reduction of the corresponding liability. As of December 31, 2021, the carrying values of the ABL Facility, the 2025 Secured Notes, and the 2028 Secured Notes included $31.7 million, $8.4 million, and $7.5 million of unamortized debt issuance costs which were presented as a direct reduction of the corresponding liability.
There were no transfers of financial instruments between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The carrying value of the ABL Facility, excluding debt issuance costs, approximates fair value as the interest rates are variable and reflective of market rates. The fair values of the 2025 Secured Notes and the 2028 Secured Notes are based on their last trading price at the end of each period obtained from a third party. The location and the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet are disclosed in Note 14.
As part of the Merger, on July 2, 2020, the Company converted Mobile Mini's outstanding fully vested stock options to 7,361,516 WillScot Mobile Mini stock options using a conversion ratio of 2.405 as set by the merger agreement. The fair value of these options was valued at $19.3 million and is part of the purchase consideration. The value of the Mobile Mini stock options converted to WillScot Mobile Mini stock options in connection with the Merger, was determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and is affected by several variables, the most significant of which are the expected life of the equity award, the exercise price of the stock option as compared to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the Merger date, and the estimated volatility of the Common Stock over the term of the equity award. The volatility assumption was based on a blend of peer group volatility and Company trading history as the Company did not have a sufficient trading history as a stand-alone public company to rely exclusively on its own trading history. The risk-free interest rate is based on the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the Merger. The key inputs utilized to determine the fair value of the stock options converted included within the purchase price were expected volatility of 51.92%, risk free rate of interest 0.17%, dividend yield of zero and expected life of 2 years.
Level 3 Disclosures
When the 2015 Private Warrants and 2018 Warrants were classified as liabilities, the Company utilized a Black Scholes option-pricing model to value the warrants at each reporting period and transaction date, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the common stock warrant liability was determined using Level 3 inputs. Inherent in the pricing model were assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The volatility assumption was based on a blend of peer group volatility and Company trading history that matched the expected remaining life of the warrants as the Company did not have a sufficient trading history as a stand-alone public company to rely exclusively on its own trading history. The risk-free interest rate was based on the US Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants was assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate was based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipated to remain at zero.
The 2018 Warrants were reclassified to equity at June 30, 2020, the date all issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock were cancelled.
The following table presents changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value for the year ended December 31, 2021:

NOTE 17 - Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company assesses these matters on a case-by-case basis as they arise and establishes reserves as required. As of December 31, 2022, with respect to these outstanding matters, the Company believes that the amount or range of reasonably possible loss will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.
NOTE 18 - Segment Reporting
The divestitures of the UK Storage Solutions segment and the former Tank and Pump segment completed the Company's transition of its portfolio to its core modular space and storage solutions businesses in North America. Following the completion of these transactions, the Company operates in two reportable segments and renamed them as follows: Modular Solutions ("Modular") and Storage Solutions ("Storage").
Prior to the third quarter of 2021, the Modular segment represented the activities of WillScot historical segments prior to the Merger. During the third quarter of 2021, the majority of the portable storage product business within the Modular segment was transitioned to the Storage segment, and associated revenues, expenses, and operating metrics beginning in the third quarter of 2021 were transferred to the Storage segment, representing a shift of approximately $5.0 million of revenue
and gross margin per quarter from the Modular segment to the Storage segment. This adjustment was not made to the historical segment results of prior periods, as the Company believes such adjustments to be immaterial.
Total assets for each reportable segment are not available because the Company utilizes a centralized approach to working capital management.
The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest (income) expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization. The Company reflects the further adjustments to EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to exclude certain non-cash items and the effect of what the Company considers transactions or events not related to its core and ongoing business operations. In addition, the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") evaluates business segment performance utilizing Adjusted EBITDA as shown in the reconciliation of the Company’s income from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA below. Management believes that evaluating segment performance excluding such items is meaningful because it provides insight with respect to the intrinsic and ongoing operating results of the Company. The Company also regularly evaluates gross profit by segment to assist in the assessment of its operational performance. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA to be the more important metric because it more fully captures the business performance of the segments, inclusive of indirect costs.
Reportable Segments
The following tables set forth certain information regarding each of the Company’s reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Consistent with the financial statements, the segment results only include results from Mobile Mini's operations after July 1, 2020, the Merger date.

NOTE 19 - Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to WillScot Mobile Mini common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. The shares of Common Stock issued as a result of the vesting of RSUs and RSAs as well as the exercise of stock options or redemption of warrants are included in EPS based on the weighted average number of days in which they were outstanding during the period.
Prior to June 30, 2020, the Company had shares of Class B Common Stock which had no rights to dividends or distributions made by the Company and, in turn, were excluded from the EPS calculation. On June 30, 2020, all shares of Class B Common Stock were cancelled.
Diluted EPS is computed similarly to basic EPS, except that it includes the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities were exercised. Effects of potentially dilutive securities are presented only in periods in which they are dilutive. When liability-classified warrants are in the money and the impact of their inclusion on diluted EPS is dilutive, diluted EPS also
assumes share settlement of such instruments through an adjustment to net income available to common stockholders for the fair value (gain) loss on common stock warrant liabilities and inclusion of the number of dilutive shares in the denominator.
The following table reconciles income from continuing operations attributable to WillScot Mobile Mini common shareholders to net income attributable to common shareholders for the dilutive EPS calculation and the weighted average shares outstanding for the basic calculation to the weighted average shares outstanding for the diluted calculation for the years ended December 31:

NOTE 21 - Subsequent Events
In January 2023, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with financial counterparties relating to $750.0 million in aggregate notional amount of variable-rate debt under the Company’s ABL Facility. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company receives a floating rate equal to one-month term SOFR and will make payments based on a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.44% on the notional amount. The swap agreements were designated and qualified as hedges of the Company’s exposure to changes in interest payment cash flows created by fluctuations in variable interest rates on the ABL Facility. The swap agreements terminate on June 30, 2027.
