The Company leases, sells, delivers and installs modular space solutions (modular office complexes, mobile offices, classrooms, blast-resistant modules, clearspan structures and sanitation solutions) and portable storage products (portable storage containers and climate-controlled containers and trailers) through an integrated network of branch locations. WillScot also offers its customers a thoughtfully curated selection of solutions with Value-Added Products ("VAPS"), such as workstations, furniture, appliances, media packages, power and solar solutions, telematics, connectivity and data solutions, security and protection products, entrance packages, electrical and lighting products, organization and space optimization assets, perimeter solutions and other items that improve the overall customer experience. The Company operates a hybrid in-house and outsourced logistics and service infrastructure that provides delivery, site work, installation, disassembly, removal and other services to customers for an additional fee as part of leasing and sales operations.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the US ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of WillScot and its subsidiaries, that it controls due to ownership of amajority voting interest, and contain all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary by management to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. 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. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires entities to disclose more detailed information in the reconciliation of their statutory tax rate to their effective tax rate and their income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on its income tax disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires incremental disclosures about specific expense categories, including but not limited to, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and selling expenses. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software("ASU 2025-06") to modernize the accounting guidance for costs incurred to develop internal-use software, including which costs are required to be recognized as an asset. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on its accounting and disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standard

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets("ASU 2025-05"), which provides a practical expedient and, if applicable, an accounting policy election to simplify the measurement of credit losses for certain receivables and contract assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and may be early adopted. Effective July 1, 2025, the Company early adopted ASU 2025-05, electing the practical expedient permitting an entity to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged over the life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements or disclosures.

NOTE 2 -Business Combination and Acquisition

Business Combination

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company acquired a regional provider of climate-controlled containers and trailers for $115.6 million, net of cash acquired, the tangible assets of which consisted primarily of approximately 2,100 temperature-controlled units. As of the acquisition date, the fair value of the goodwill recognized was $54.5 million, the fair value of the intangible assets acquired was $18.7 million, and the fair value of rental equipment acquired was $36.6 million. The preliminary accounting for the transaction, including the valuation of acquired rental equipment and intangible assets, was based on the best estimates of management and is subject to revision based on the final valuations. Goodwill recognized is attributable to expected operating synergies, assembled workforce, and the going concern value of the acquired business. Goodwill recorded for this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. Revenue and earnings from the business combination following the acquisition date are not available, as the business was integrated into the Company's centralized financial and operational processes following the acquisition.

Asset Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company acquired $23.2 million in rental fleet assets fromtwo companies for $25.8 million in cash.

Major Product and Service Lines

Equipment leasing is the Company's core business and the primary driver of the Company's revenue and cash flows. This includes turnkey space solutions along with VAPS. Leasing is complemented by new unit sales and sales of rental units. In connection with its leasing and sales activities, the Company provides services including delivery and installation, maintenance, removal, and other ad hoc services.

The Company’s revenue by major product and service line for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

(b) Includes $9.6 million and $10.3 million of service revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $28.3 million and $30.4 million of service revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(c) Includes primarily damage billings, delinquent payment charges, service revenue, and other processing fees associated with leasing arrangements, and is partially offset by write-offs of specific uncollectible lease receivables recorded as a reduction to revenue of $24.5 million and $9.0 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $50.2 million and $21.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Leasing and Services Revenue

The majority of revenue (75% and 74% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and 75% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024) was generated by lease income subject to the guidance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASC 842"). The remaining revenue was generated by performance obligations in contracts with customers for services or the sale of units subject to the guidance in Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASC 606").

Receivables

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 ASC 842 and ASC 606, 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 markets. 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 the Company 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 estimate is sensitive to changing circumstances, and the Company may be required to increase or decrease its allowance in future periods in response to changing circumstances, including changes in the economy or in the particular circumstances of individual customers. The Company has elected the practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. 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 expense.

Activity in the allowance for credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

Balance at end of period$74,325$99,241$74,325$99,241

The Company had an increase to write-offs of accounts receivable due to the age of the receivables and a conclusion that collectibility was no longer probable. The majority of balances written off were previously fully reserved.

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. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded deferred revenue related to service revenue billed in advance of$136.2 million and$139.4 million, respectively. During thethree and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, the Company recognized revenue of$21.0 million and $78.8 millionfor service revenue billed in advance that was recorded as deferred revenue as of December 31, 2024.

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 market rate in place at the time those services are provided, 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, certain subsidiaries of the Company, including Williams Scotsman, Inc. ("WSI"), entered into an asset-based credit agreement. As amended on June 30, 2022, the agreement provided for revolving credit facilities in the aggregate principal amount of up 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”), (ii) a $400.0 million senior secured asset-based multicurrency revolving credit facility (the "Multicurrency Facility," and together with the US Facility, the "ABL Facility"), available to be drawn in US Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling or Euros, and (iii) an accordion feature that permitted the Company to increase the lenders' commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of $750.0 million and the amount of suppressed availability (as defined in the ABL Facility), plus any voluntary prepayments that are accompanied by permanent commitment reductions under the ABL Facility, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions including lender approval. The ABL Facility was scheduled to mature on June 30, 2027.

At September 30, 2025, the applicable margin for Term Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA"), Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), British Pounds Sterling and Euro loans was 1.50%. In addition to the applicable margin, the facility included a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The applicable margin for base rate and Canadian Prime

Rate loans was 0.50%. The applicable margins were subject to one step down of 0.25% or one step up of 0.25% based on the Company's leverage ratio and excess availability from the prior quarter. The ABL Facility required the payment of a commitment fee on the unused available borrowings of 0.20% annually. As of September 30, 2025, the weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the ABL Facility, as adjusted for the effects of the interest rate swap agreements, was 5.25%. Refer to Note 11 for a more detailed discussion on interest rate management.

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 September 30, 2025, the Line Cap was $3.2 billion and the Company had $1.7 billion of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility, including $1.5 billion under the US Facility and $190.0 million under the Multicurrency Facility. Borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility was made available for up to $220.0 million of letters of credit and $220.0 million of swingline loans. At September 30, 2025, the available capacity was $193.5 million of letters of credit and $219.3 million of swingline loans. The Company had issued $26.5 million of standby letters of credit under the ABL Facility at September 30, 2025. At September 30, 2025, letters of credit and bank guarantees carried fees of 1.625%.

The Company had approximately $1.5 billion of outstanding borrowings under the ABL Facility at September 30, 2025. Debt issuance costs of $13.3 million and $19.0 million were included in the carrying value of the ABL Facility at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

The ABL Facility and related guarantees are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of WSI and the Company’s other subsidiaries that are borrowers or guarantors under the ABL Facility, subject to customary exclusions. Refer to Note 17 for details on financing activities completed subsequent to September 30, 2025 whereby the Company amended its ABL Facility to reduce borrowing costs and extend the maturity date to October 16, 2030. After giving effect to the extension, the Company has no maturities of debt until 2028 other than for finance leases.

Senior Secured Notes

On March 26, 2025, WSI completed a private offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.625% senior secured notes due 2030 (the "2030 Secured Notes") to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to non-U.S. persons outside the U.S. in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2030 Secured Notes mature on April 15, 2030 and bear interest at a rate of 6.625% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning October 15, 2025. Unamortized deferred financing costs pertaining to the 2030 Secured Notes were $6.1 million as of September 30, 2025.

On March 27, 2025, net proceeds from the offering of the 2030 Secured Notes, together with $33.0 million of additional borrowings under the ABL Facility, were used to (i) redeem all of WSI's outstanding 6.125% senior secured notes due 2025 (the "2025 Secured Notes") at a redemption price equal to 100.00% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes outstanding, totaling $526.5 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date and (ii) pay related fees and expenses.

The 2028 Secured Notes, 2029 Secured Notes, 2030 Secured Notes, and 2031 Secured Notes (collectively, “the Secured Notes”) are unconditionally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, “the Note Guarantors”). WillScot is not a guarantor of the Secured Notes. The Note Guarantors are guarantors or borrowers under the ABL Facility. To the extent lenders under the ABL Facility release the guarantee of any Note Guarantor, such Note Guarantor will also be released from obligations under the Secured Notes. The Secured Notes and related guarantees are secured by a second priority security interest in substantially the same assets of WSI and the Note Guarantors securing the ABL Facility. Upon the repayment of the 2028 Secured Notes, if the lien associated with the ABL Facility represents the only lien outstanding on the collateral under the 2029 Secured Notes, 2030 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes (other than certain permitted liens), the collateral securing the 2029 Secured Notes, 2030 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes will be released and the 2029 Secured Notes, 2030 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes will become unsecured subject to satisfaction of customary conditions.

Finance Leases

The Company maintains finance leases primarily for transportation and branch operations-related equipment. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, obligations under the finance leases were $154.9 million and $143.8 million, respectively.

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants and restrictions associated with its debt instruments as of September 30, 2025.

The Company reclassified amounts from AOCI into the condensed consolidated statements of operations within interest expense related to the interest rate swaps. Associated with these reclassifications, the Company recorded tax expense of $0.7 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and tax expense of $2.1 million and $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The interest rate swaps are discussed in Note 11.

NOTE 10 –Income Taxes

The Company recorded $17.0 million and $54.9 million of income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $20.6 million and $17.4 million of income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was 28.2% and 29.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 22.6% and 22.2%, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and provincial taxes, non-deductible executive compensation, and discrete tax expense related to equity compensation. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state and provincial taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by a discrete tax benefit related to equity compensation.

On July 4, 2025, the United States Congress passed the budget reconciliation bill H.R. 1 referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill (“OBBB”). The OBBB contains several changes to corporate taxation including modifications to capitalization of research and development expenses, limitations on deductions for interest expense and accelerated fixed asset depreciation. The Company has evaluated the legislation and does not expect a material impact to its annual effective rate or financial statements.

NOTE 11 -Derivatives

In January 2023, the Company entered intotwo interest rate swap agreements with financial counterparties relating to $750.0 million in aggregate notional amount of variable-rate debt under the ABL Facility. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company receives a floating rate equal to one-month term SOFR and makes payments based on a fixed interest rate of 3.44% on the notional amount. In January 2024, the Company entered intotwo interest rate swap agreements with financial counterparties relating to $500.0 million in aggregate notional amount of variable-rate debt under the ABL Facility. Under the terms of the agreements, the Company receives a floating rate equal to one-month term SOFR and makes payments based on a fixed interest rate of 3.70% 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. At September 30, 2025, the floating rate that the Company received under the terms of these swap agreements was 4.17% for the swap agreements entered in January 2023 and 4.14% for the swap agreements entered in January 2024.

The location and the fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedges were as follows:

The fair value of the interest rate swaps was based on dealer quotes of market forward rates, a Level 2 input on the fair value hierarchy (see Note 12), and reflected the amount that the Company would receive or pay for contracts involving the same attributes and maturity dates.

The following table discloses the impact of the interest rate swaps, excluding the impact of income taxes, on other comprehensive income (“OCI”), AOCI and the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30,2025 and 2024:

NOTE 12 -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 following 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 values of cash and short-term deposits, marketable securities, trade receivables, trade payables, and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts. The Company's nonfinancial assets, which are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, include rental equipment, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets, and certain other assets. Based on the borrowing rates currently available for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair values of finance leases at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 approximate their respective book values. The carrying value of the ABL Facility, excluding debt issuance costs, approximates fair value as the interest rates are variable and reflective of current market rates.

The fair values of the Secured Notes are based on their last trading price at the end of each period obtained from a third party. The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of these financial liabilities measured using Level 2 inputs:

September 30, 2025December 31, 2024

As of September 30, 2025, the carrying values of the 2028 Secured Notes, the 2029 Secured Notes, the 2030 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes included $3.6 million, $6.6 million, $6.1 million, and $5.4 million, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs, which were presented as direct reductions of the corresponding liabilities. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying values of the 2025 Secured Notes, the 2028 Secured Notes, the 2029 Secured Notes, and the 2031 Secured Notes included $1.2 million, $4.4 million, $7.5 million, and $5.7 million, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs, which were presented as direct reductions of the corresponding liabilities.

The location and the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are disclosed in Note 11.

NOTE 13 -Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense includes grants of stock options, time-based restricted stock units ("Time-Based RSUs"), performance-based restricted stock units ("Performance-Based RSUs," together with Time-Based RSUs, the "RSUs"), and restricted stock awards ("RSAs"). Stock options are valued based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Time-Based RSUs and RSAs are valued based on the intrinsic value of the difference between the exercise price of the award, if any, and the fair market value of WillScot'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 RSU's 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.

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 the S&P MidCap 400 Index at the grant date over the performance period ofthree years. The target number of RSUs may be adjusted from 0% to 200% based on the TSR attainment levels defined by the Company's 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 above the 85% percentile).

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.

NOTE 14 -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 September 30, 2025, 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 Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.

NOTE 15 -Segment Reporting

The Company hasone reportable segment. Refer to Note 3 for revenue by geographic area and revenue by major product and service lines. Refer to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for total assets. Refer to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for total expenditures for additions to long-lived assets.

The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest (income) expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization. The Company reflects 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. The measure of profit or loss used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to evaluate operating segment performance and allocate resources is Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that evaluating operating 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 considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important metric because it reflects the business performance of the segment, inclusive of indirect costs.
