This Form 10-Q, including the following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A"), contains forward-looking statements under federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, those set forth under this Item, those discussed in Part II-Item 1A, "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and those that may be identified from time to time in our reports and registration statements filed with theSEC . This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Part I-Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes and the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 31, 2020 , as filed with theSEC onFebruary 23, 2021 (the "2020 Annual Report"). In preparing the following MD&A, we presume that readers have access to and have read the MD&A in our 2020 Annual Report, pursuant to Instruction 2 to paragraph (b) of Item 303 of Regulation S-K. We undertake no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of filing of this Form 10-Q to conform such forward-looking statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as otherwise required by law. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, there is continued uncertainty as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company's financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the continuing evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic, its variants and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to fully estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2021. The following discussions are subject to the future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants.
General
The Company, incorporated in 1979, is a leading rental provider of relocatable modular buildings for classroom and office space, electronic test equipment for general purpose and communications needs, and liquid and solid containment tanks and boxes. The Company's primary emphasis is on equipment rentals. The Company is comprised of four reportable business segments: (1) its modular building and portable storage container rental segment ("Mobile Modular"); (2) its electronic test equipment segment ("TRS-RenTelco"); (3) its containment solutions for the storage of hazardous and non-hazardous liquids and solids segment ("Adler Tanks"); and (4) its classroom manufacturing segment selling modular buildings used primarily as classrooms inCalifornia ("Enviroplex"). The Mobile Modular business segment includes the results of operations of the Mobile Modular Portable Storage division, which represented approximately 11% of the Company's total revenues in the six months endedJune 30, 2021 . Mobile Modular Portable Storage offers portable storage units and high security portable office units for rent, lease and purchase. Kitchens To Go was acquired onApril 1, 2021 , with its results included in the Mobile Modular segment since that date. In the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , Mobile Modular, TRS-RenTelco,Adler Tanks and Enviroplex contributed 64%, 32%, 3% and 1% of the Company's income before provision for taxes (the equivalent of "pretax income"), respectively, compared to 65%, 27%, 6% and 2% for the same period in 2020. The Company generates its revenues primarily from the rental of its equipment on operating leases and from sales of equipment occurring in the normal course of business. The Company requires significant capital outlay to purchase its rental inventory and recovers its investment through rental and sales revenues. Rental revenues and certain other service revenues negotiated as part of lease agreements with customers and related costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Sales revenues and related costs are recognized upon delivery and installation of the equipment to customers. Sales revenues are less predictable and can fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year depending on customer demands and requirements. Generally, rental revenues less cash operating costs recover the equipment's capitalized cost in a short period of time relative to the equipment's potential rental life and when sold, sale proceeds are usually above its net book value. The Company's modular revenues (consisting of revenues from Mobile Modular, Mobile Modular Portable Storage, Kitchens To Go and Enviroplex) are derived from rentals and sales to education and commercial customers, with a majority of revenues generated by education customers. Modular revenues are primarily affected by demand for classrooms, which in turn is affected by shifting and fluctuating school populations, the levels of state funding to public schools, the need for temporary classroom space during reconstruction of older schools and changes in policies regarding class size. As a result of any reduced funding, lower expenditures by these schools may result in certain planned programs to increase the number of classrooms, such as those that the Company provides, to be postponed or terminated. However, reduced expenditures may also result in schools reducing their long-term facility construction projects in favor of using the Company's modular classroom solutions. At this time, the Company can provide no assurances as to whether public schools will either reduce or increase their demand for the Company's modular classrooms as a result of fluctuations in state funding of public schools. 17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking forward, the Company believes that any interruption in the passage of facility bonds or contraction of class size reduction programs by public schools may have a material adverse effect on both rental and sales revenues of the Company. (For more information, see "Item 1. Business - Relocatable Modular Buildings - Classroom Rentals and Sales toPublic Schools (K-12)" in the Company's 2020 Annual Report and "Item 1A. Risk Factors - Significant reductions of, or delays in, funding to public schools have caused the demand and pricing for our modular classroom units to decline, which has in the past caused, and may cause in the future, a reduction in our revenues and profitability" in Part II - Other Information of this Form 10-Q.) Revenues of TRS-RenTelco are derived from the rental and sale of general purpose and communications test equipment to a broad range of companies, from Fortune 500 to middle and smaller market companies primarily in the aerospace, defense, communications, manufacturing and semiconductor industries. Electronic test equipment revenues are primarily affected by the business activity within these industries related to research and development, manufacturing, and communication infrastructure installation and maintenance. Revenues ofAdler Tanks are derived from the rental and sale of fixed axle tanks ("tanks") and vacuum containers, dewatering containers and roll-off containers (collectively referred to as "boxes"). These tanks and boxes are rented to a broad range of industries and applications including oil and gas exploration and field services, refinery, chemical and industrial plant maintenance, environmental remediation and field services, infrastructure building construction, marine services, pipeline construction and maintenance, tank terminals services, wastewater treatment, and waste management and landfill services for the containment of hazardous and non-hazardous liquids and solids. The Company's rental operations include rental and rental related service revenues which comprised approximately 83% and 82% of consolidated revenues in the six months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Of the total rental operations revenues for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , Mobile Modular, TRS-RenTelco andAdler Tanks comprised 59%, 25% and 16%, respectively, compared to 58%, 25% and 17%, respectively, in the same period of 2020. The Company's direct costs of rental operations include depreciation of rental equipment, rental related service costs, impairment of rental equipment (if applicable), and other direct costs of rental operations (which include direct labor, supplies, repairs, insurance, property taxes, license fees, cost of sub-rentals and amortization of certain lease costs). The Company's Mobile Modular, TRS-RenTelco andAdler Tanks business segments sell modular units, electronic test equipment and liquid and solid containment tanks and boxes, respectively, which are either new or previously rented. In addition, Enviroplex sells new modular buildings used primarily as classrooms inCalifornia . For the six months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020, sales and other revenues of modular, electronic test equipment and liquid and solid containment tanks and boxes comprised approximately 17% and 18% of the Company's consolidated revenues, respectively. Of the total sales and other revenues for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020, Mobile Modular and Enviroplex together comprised 73% and 72%, respectively, TRS-RenTelco comprised 24% and 26%, respectively, andAdler Tanks comprised 3% and 2%, respectively. The Company's cost of sales includes the carrying value of the equipment sold and the direct costs associated with the equipment sold, such as delivery, installation, modifications and related site work. Selling and administrative expenses primarily include personnel and benefit costs, which include share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, bad debt expense, advertising costs, and professional service fees. The Company believes that sharing of common facilities, financing, senior management, and operating and accounting systems by all of the Company's operations results in an efficient use of overhead. Historically, the Company's operating margins have been impacted favorably to the extent its costs and expenses are leveraged over a large installed customer base. However, there can be no assurances as to the Company's ability to maintain a large installed customer base or ability to sustain its historical operating margins.
Adjusted EBITDA
To supplement the Company's financial data presented on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company presents "Adjusted EBITDA", which is defined by the Company as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure as management believes it provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's liquidity and financial condition and because management, as well as the Company's lenders, use this measure in evaluating the performance of the Company. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP measures to further evaluate period-to-period operating performance, compliance with financial covenants in the Company's revolving lines of credit and senior notes and the Company's ability to meet future capital expenditure and working capital requirements. Management believes the exclusion of non-cash charges, including share-based compensation, is useful in measuring the Company's cash available for operations and performance of the Company. Because management finds Adjusted EBITDA useful, the Company believes its investors will also find Adjusted EBITDA useful in evaluating the Company's performance. 18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows, or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of the Company's profitability or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Unlike EBITDA, which may be used by other companies or investors, Adjusted EBITDA does not include share-based compensation charges. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is of limited use in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and does not accurately reflect real cash flow. In addition, other companies may not use Adjusted EBITDA or may use other non-GAAP measures, limiting the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of comparison. The Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that the Company will not incur expenses that are the same as or similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The Company compensates for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of the Company's performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined by theSEC , the Company includes in the tables below reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

1. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision
for income taxes, depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation.
2. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total
revenues for the period.
Adjusted EBITDA is a component of two restrictive financial covenants for the Company's unsecured Credit Facility, the Note Purchase Agreement, Series C Senior Notes, Series D Senior Notes and Series E Senior Notes (as defined and more fully described under the heading "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in this MD&A). These instruments contain financial covenants requiring the Company to not: • Permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the
Credit Facility and the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined and more fully
described under the heading "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in this MD&A)) of Adjusted 19
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Permit the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of funded debt (as defined in the
Credit Facility and the Note Purchase Agreement) to Adjusted EBITDA at any
time during any period of four consecutive quarters to be greater than 2.75 to 1. AtJune 30, 2021 , the actual ratio was 2.01 to 1. AtJune 30, 2021 , the Company was in compliance with each of the aforementioned covenants. There are no anticipated trends that the Company is aware of that would indicate non-compliance with these covenants, although, significant deterioration in our financial performance could impact the Company's ability to comply with these covenants.
Recent Developments
Dividends
OnJune 9, 2021 , the Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of$0.435 per common share for the quarter endedJune 30, 2021 , an increase of 4% over the prior year's comparable quarter.
Acquisitions
OnMay 17, 2021 , the Company completed the purchase of the assets ofDesign Space Modular Buildings PNW, LP ("Design Space") for$266.0 million in cash consideration and$0.5 million liability to the seller. Design Space provides modular buildings and portable storage container rental and sale solutions to customers in the West andPacific Northwest states in theU.S. Design Space became part of the Mobile Modular reporting segment. OnApril 1, 2021 the Company completed the purchase of assets ofGRS Holding LLC ,DBA Kitchens to Go ("Kitchens To Go") for$18.3 million cash consideration. Kitchens To Go provides interim and permanent modular kitchen solutions for foodservice providers that require flexible facilities to continue or expand operations. Kitchens To Go became part of the Mobile Modular division.
Note Purchase Agreement
OnJune 16, 2021 , the Company issued and sold toPrudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company ,The Prudential Insurance Company of America andThe Prudential Insurance Company of America (collectively, the "Purchasers")$60 million aggregate principal amount of 2.35% Series E Notes (the "Series E Notes") pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement, datedMarch 31, 2020 (the "Note Purchase Agreement"), among the Company,PGIM, Inc. and the noteholders party thereto. The Series E Notes are an unsecured obligation of the Company. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.35% per annum and mature onJune 16, 2026 . Interest on the Series E Notes is payable semi-annually beginning onDecember 16, 2021 and continuing thereafter onJune 16 andDecember 16 of each year until maturity. The Company may at any time prepay all or any portion of the Series D Notes; provided that such portion is at least$5,000,000 (and increments of$100,000 in excess thereof). In the event of a prepayment, the Company will pay an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus a make-whole amount. The full net proceeds from the Series E Notes was used to pay down the Company's credit facility. Covid-19 The outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, which began inDecember 2019 , has continued to spread globally including to every state inthe United States .The Center for Disease Control ("CDC") andWorld Health Organization ("WHO") have recognized this outbreak as a pandemic, which has caused shutdowns to businesses and cities worldwide while disrupting supply chains, business operations, travel, consumer confidence and business sentiment. Each of the states in which the Company operates, and in some cases the localities as well, have previously issued orders requiring the closure of non-essential business and/or requiring residents to stay at home, however, currently none of the Company's locations are required to be closed by local or state order. The Company is following guidelines established by theCDC andWHO and orders issued by state and local governments where the Company operates. The Company has taken a number of precautionary health and safety measures to safeguard its employees and customers, while maintaining business continuity to enable each of its operating segments and branch locations to continue providing services to customers identified as essential businesses under the relevant state and local rules. The Company has implemented remote work policies, restricted travel, separated work groups, enhanced cleaning and hygiene protocols in all of its facilities, products and vehicles, and requires distancing protocols for production and logistical personnel. The Company is continuing to monitor and assessing orders issued by federal, state and local governments to ensure compliance with evolving COVID-19 guidelines. The Company also continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on its existing customerswho themselves may be impacted by governmental shutdowns and other impacts due to the governmental orders. As of the date of this filing, significant uncertainty continues to exist concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its variants. While the Company's operating segments and branch locations currently continue to operate, the Company's results of operations may be negatively impacted by project delays; early returns of equipment currently on rent with 20
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- customers; overall decreased customer demand for new rental orders, rental related services and sales of new and used rental equipment; and payment delay, or non-payment, by customerswho are significantly impacted by COVID-19. In light of the uncertain and rapidly evolving situation relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has taken a number of precautionary measures to manage its resources conservatively by reducing and/or deferring non-essential capital expenditures and operating expenses to mitigate the adverse impact of the pandemic. The Company will continue to assess its capital expenditure needs against its cash availability during the crisis to make the most strategic decisions for its business. Furthermore, the Company believes that its recently renewed$420 million credit facility, coupled with its ability to access additional capital through the issuance of additional senior notes, will strengthen the Company's liquidity position and serve to mitigate some of the operational risk related to decreased customer demand for new rental orders and sales resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. While the Company has not seen a significant impact from COVID-19 in the financial results for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 as set forth in the below section discussing the results of operations for the quarter endedJune 30, 2021 , the Company is currently unable to determine or predict the full nature, duration or scope of the overall impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its business, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. The Company will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter its business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that the Company determines are in the best interests of employees, customers and shareholders. 21

23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mobile Modular's gross profit for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 increased$3.3 million , or 9%, to$40.8 million . For the three months endedJune 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020:
• Gross Profit on Rental Revenues - Rental revenues increased
or 14%, primarily due to 7% higher average rental equipment on rent and 7%
higher average monthly rental rate in 2021, with over half of the increase
due to revenues earned during the quarter from new Design Space and
Kitchens To Go customers. As a percentage of rental revenues, depreciation
was 13% in 2021 and 12% in 2020, and other direct costs were 30% in 2021
and 27% in 2020, which resulted in gross margin percentages of 57% in 2021
compared to 61% in 2020. The higher rental revenues and lower rental
margins, resulted in gross profit on rental revenues increasing$1.8 million , or 6%, to$30.3 million in 2021.
• Gross Profit on Rental Related Services - Rental related services revenues
increased
revenues are negotiated with the initial modular building lease and are recognized on a straight-line basis with the associated costs over the initial term of the lease. The increase in rental related services
revenues was primarily attributable to increased delivery and return
delivery revenues at Portable Storage and higher amortization of modular
building delivery and return delivery and dismantle revenues. The higher
revenues, partly offset by lower gross margin percentage of 27% in 2021,
compared to 28% in 2020, resulted in rental related services gross profit
increasing
• Gross Profit on Sales - Sales revenues decreased$0.5 million , or 3%, compared to 2020, due to lower new equipment sales. The higher gross margin percentage of 39% in 2021 compared to 29% in 2020, and lower sales
revenue resulted in gross profit on sales increasing
to
higher mix of used sales with higher gross margins, compared to sales of
new equipment. Sales occur routinely as a normal part of Mobile Modular's
rental business; however, these sales and related gross margins can
fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year depending on customer
requirements, equipment availability and funding.
For the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , selling and administrative expenses increased$5.7 million , or 34%, to$22.6 million , primarily due to increased employee salaries and benefit costs totaling$2.0 million , primarily due to the addition of Design Space and Kitchens To Go employees during the quarter,$1.7 million higher amortization of intangible assets due to the Design Space and Kitchens To Go acquisitions and$0.9 million acquisition related transaction costs in 2021. 24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of rental revenues, depreciation was 32% in 2021 and 30% in 2020, and other direct costs were 19% and 17% in 2021 and 2020, respectively, which resulted in gross margin percentages of 49% and 53% in 2021 and 2020,

in a 15% decrease in gross profit on rental revenues to

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's rental businesses are capital intensive and generate significant cash flows. Cash flows for the Company for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 are summarized as follows: Cash Flows from Operating Activities: The Company's operations provided net cash of$98.0 million in 2021, compared to$97.5 million in 2020. The 1% increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, deferred income and deferred income taxes, partly offset by increased prepaid and other expenses and lower income from operations in 2021. Cash Flows from Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities was$320.8 million in 2021, compared to$42.5 million in 2020. The$278.3 million increase was primarily due to$284.3 million cash paid for acquisition of businesses during 2021. Cash Flows from Financing Activities: Net cash provided by financing activities was$224.1 million in 2021, compared to cash used in financing activities of$56.7 million in 2020. The$280.7 million change was due to$211.3 million higher net borrowing under bank lines of credit to fund the Design Space and Kitchens To Go acquisitions,$60 million borrowing under private placement and$13.5 million lower repurchase of common stock in 2021. Significant capital expenditures are required to maintain and grow the Company's rental assets. During the last three years, the Company has financed its working capital and capital expenditure requirements through cash flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of rental equipment and from borrowings. Sales occur routinely as a normal part of the Company's rental business. However, these sales can fluctuate from period to period depending on customer requirements and funding. Although the net proceeds received from sales may fluctuate from period to period, the Company believes its liquidity will not be adversely impacted from lower sales in any given year because it believes it has the ability to increase its bank borrowings and conserve its cash in the future by reducing the amount of cash it uses to purchase rental equipment, pay dividends, or repurchase the Company's common stock.
Unsecured Revolving Lines of Credit
OnMarch 31, 2020 , the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement withBank of America, N.A ., as Administrative Agent, SwingLine Lender , L/C Issuer and lender, and other lenders named therein (the "Credit Facility").

Furthermore, the Company believes it has the financial resources to weather any short-term impacts of COVID-19. However, the Company has limited insight into the extent to which its business may be impacted by COVID-19, and there are many uncertainties, including how long and how severely the Company will be impacted. An extended and severe impact may materially and adversely affect the Company's future operations, financial position and liquidity.
