CEO Comments
Erik Olsson, Mobile Mini’s President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, “I am very pleased with our performance overall and within both our individual portable storage and specialty containment businesses. Our portable storage business grew a strong 7.7% year-over-year, driven by increases in both units on rent and rental rates. The momentum we saw in the later part of the second quarter continued into the third quarter, with our North American sales force driving the highest number of quarterly portable storage activations in the Company’s history, with core activations up 12% from the third quarter 2014. As a result, utilization at the end of the quarter was a strong 72.7%. In our specialty containment business we continue to see good momentum in the downstream industrial segment and our overall specialty containment business generated $11 million of adjusted EBITDA at a robust 40.4% margin.”
Mr. Olsson continued, “We delivered a very good quarter, which included expanding our portable storage adjusted EBITDA margin to 39.3%, notwithstanding short-term pressure related to the divestiture of our wood mobile office business. Given our increasing utilization we also added to our sales force and made incremental growth capital expenditures for high demand markets. We continue to leverage our infrastructure across our two business segments, and are well-positioned for continued growth.”
