Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization and Description of Business

Organization

Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries including Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping, Inc. (“Brundage-Bone”), Capital Pumping (“Capital”), Camfaud Group Limited (“Camfaud”) and Eco-Pan, Inc. (“Eco-Pan”).

Nature of business

Brundage-Bone and Capital are concrete pumping service providers in the United States ("U.S.") and Camfaud is a concrete pumping service provider in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). Their core business is the provision of concrete pumping services to general contractors and concrete finishing companies in the commercial, infrastructure and residential sectors. Most often equipment returns to a “home base” nightly and these service providers do not contract to purchase, mix, or deliver concrete. Brundage-Bone and Capital collectively have approximately 100 branch locations across approximately 20 states, with its corporate headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Camfaud has approximately 30 branch locations throughout the U.K., with its corporate headquarters in Epping (near London), England.

Eco-Pan provides industrial cleanup and containment services, primarily to customers in the construction industry. Eco-Pan uses containment pans specifically designed to hold waste products from concrete and other industrial cleanup operations. Eco-Pan has 19 operating locations across the U.S. with its corporate headquarters in Denver, Colorado. In addition, we have concrete waste management operations under our Eco-Pan brand name in the U.K. and currently operate from a shared Camfaud location.

Seasonality

The Company’s sales are historically seasonal, with lower revenue in the first quarter and higher revenue in the fourth quarter of each year. Such seasonality also causes the Company’s working capital cash flow requirements to vary from quarter to quarter and primarily depends on the variability of weather patterns with the Company generally having lower sales volume during the winter and spring months.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022 ("Annual Report"). During the nine months ended July 31, 2023, there were no significant changes to those accounting policies.

Basis of presentation

Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2022, which was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements provided herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The enclosed statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present a fair statement of the interim periods. The consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the first nine months of the year are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations and cash flows that might be expected for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation.

Table of Contents

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition

The Company generates revenues primarily from (1) concrete pumping services in both the U.S. and U.K and (2) the Company’s concrete waste services business, both of which are discussed below. In addition, the Company generates an immaterial amount of revenue from the sales of replacement parts to customers. The Company’s delivery terms for replacement part sales are FOB shipping point. Revenue is disaggregated between two accounting standards: (1) ASC 606, Revenue Recognition ("ASC 606") and (2) ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842").

Leases as Lessor

Our Eco-Pan business involves contracts with customers whereby we are a lessor for the rental component of the contract and therefore, such rental components of the contract are recorded as lease revenue. We account for such rental contracts as operating leases. We recognize revenue from pan rentals in the period earned, regardless of the timing of billing to customers. The lease component of the revenue is disaggregated by a base price that is based on the number of contractual days and a variable component that is based on days in excess of the number of contractual days.

The table below summarizes our revenues as presented in our unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the periods ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 by revenue type and by applicable accounting standard:

	*Three Months Ended July 31,*				*Nine Months Ended July 31,*
(in thousands)	*2023*		*2022*		*2023*		*2022*
Service revenue - ASC 606		112,340		98,288		299,521		269,425
Lease fixed revenue – ASC 842		5,237		3,748		13,453		10,119
Lease variable revenue - ASC 842		3,094		2,433		9,063		6,854
Total revenue		120,671		104,469		322,037		286,398

Newly adopted accounting pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”) - In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Specifically, to the extent the Company's debt agreements are modified to replace LIBOR with another interest rate index, ASU 2020-04 will permit the Company to account for the modification as a continuation of the existing contract without additional analysis. Companies may generally elect to apply the guidance for periods that include March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Effective October 1, 2021, the Company transitioned all of its GBP borrowings from LIBOR to the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") rate. Effective June 29, 2022, the Company transitioned all of its U.S. Dollar borrowings from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). See Note 9 for further discussion.

ASU 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02") - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which is codified in ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”) and supersedes current lease guidance in ASC 840, Leases. ASC 842 requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset ("ROU") and a corresponding lease liability for substantially all leases. The lease liability will be equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments while the right-of-use asset will be similarly calculated and then adjusted for initial direct costs. In addition, ASC 842 expands the disclosure requirements to increase the transparency and comparability of the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases ASC 842: Targeted Improvements, which allows entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The new standard is effective for emerging growth companies that have elected to use private company adoption dates for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted the guidance for the year ended October 31, 2022, with an effective date of adoption of November 1, 2021.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet effective

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”) - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, which, along with subsequently issued related ASUs, requires financial assets (or groups of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, among other provisions. This ASU is effective for smaller reporting companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt the guidance during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending October 31, 2024. The amendments of this ASU should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the effects adoption of this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

The Company completed one asset acquisition during the second quarter of 2023 and five acquisitions during fiscal 2022. All acquisitions either added complementary assets in markets in which the Company already operates or expanded the Company's footprint into adjacent markets. With the exception of the Coastal Carolina Pumping, Inc. ("Coastal") acquisition during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, all other transactions qualified as asset acquisitions. Except for the acquisition of Pioneer in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and Coastal in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, these acquisitions were not individually significant to our results of operations. The consideration for the acquisitions in fiscal 2022 consisted of cash and was allocated to the acquired long-lived tangible and intangible assets.

August 2022 (Fiscal 2022) Coastal Acquisition

In August 2022, the Company acquired the property, equipment and intangible assets of Coastal for total purchase consideration of $30.8 million, which was paid for using cash and the ABL Facility (defined below). This transaction expanded our operations in the Carolinas and Florida and qualified as a business combination under ASC 805. Accordingly, the Company recorded all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values. There was no goodwill recognized in this transaction.

The following table represents the final allocation of consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition-date fair values with any measurement-period adjustments included:

(in thousands)
Consideration paid:	$	30,762

Net assets acquired:
Intangible assets	$	2,500
Property and equipment		28,500
Liabilities assumed		(238	)
Total net assets acquired	$	30,762

All assets were valued using level 3 inputs. The equipment was valued using a market approach while the intangible assets were valued using an income approach based on management’s projections.

Identifiable intangible assets acquired consist of customer relationships of $1.7 million and non-compete agreements valued at $0.8 million. The customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. The non-compete agreements were valued using a direct valuation of economic damages approach. The Company determined the useful life of both the customer relationships and non-compete agreements to be 5 years.

Concurrent with closing of the asset purchase agreement, the Company signed five leases directly with the seller. The leases were entered into at market rates and the Company recognized an ROU asset and liability of $6.5 million related to these leases.

November 2021 (Fiscal 2022) Pioneer Acquisition

In November 2021, the Company acquired the assets, no cash, of Pioneer Concrete Pumping Services (“Pioneer”) for total purchase consideration of $20.2 million, of which, $1.0 million was held back (the “Holdback”) to allow for a post-closing joint inspection of Pioneer’s fleet vehicles. The Holdback had not been paid out as of July 31, 2023. This transaction was treated as an asset acquisition. The Company allocated $19.1 million to the purchase of Pioneer's equipment. The remaining $1.1 million was allocated to a definite-lived assembled workforce intangible asset and a definite-lived customer relationships intangible asset. All assets were valued using level 3 inputs. The equipment was valued using a market approach while the intangible assets were valued using an income approach based on management’s projections. The intangible assets will be amortized over 3 to 5 years.

Transaction Costs

Transaction costs include expenses for legal, accounting, and other professionals that were incurred in connection with an asset acquisition or business combination and could not be capitalized under ASC 805. There were no significant transaction costs incurred in each of the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022.

Note 4. Fair Value Measurement

The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and current accrued liabilities approximate their fair value as recorded due to the short-term maturity of these instruments, which approximates fair value. The Company’s outstanding obligations on its asset-backed loan ("ABL") credit facility are deemed to be at fair value as the interest rates on these debt obligations are variable and consistent with prevailing rates. There were no changes since October 31, 2022 in the Company's valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

Long-term debt instruments

The Company's long-term debt instruments are recorded at their carrying values in the consolidated balance sheet, which may differ from their respective fair values. The fair values of the long-term debt instruments are derived from Level 2 inputs. The fair value amount of the long-term debt instruments as of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022 is presented in the table below based on the prevailing interest rates and trading activity of the Senior Notes.

	*As of July 31,*				*As of October 31,*
	*2023*				*2022*
(in thousands)	*Carrying Value*		*Fair Value*		*Carrying Value*		*Fair Value*
Senior Notes	$	375,000	$	359,063	$	375,000	$	339,375

Warrants

At July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, there were 13,017,677 public warrants and no private warrants outstanding. Each warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The warrants expire on December 6, 2023, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company may call the outstanding public warrants for redemption at a price of $0.01 per warrant, if the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third business day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

The Company accounts for the public warrants issued in connection with its IPO in accordance with ASC 815, under which certain provisions in the public warrant agreements do not meet the criteria for equity classification and therefore these warrants must be recorded as liabilities. The fair value of each public warrant is based on the public trading price of the warrant (Level 2 fair value measurement). Gains and losses related to the warrants are reflected in the change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the consolidated statements of operations.

All other non-financial assets

The Company's non-financial assets, which primarily consist of property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at carrying value. However, on a periodic basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles), non-financial instruments are assessed for impairment and, if applicable, written down to and recorded at fair value.

On January 28, 2021, Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (i) completed a private offering of $375.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.000% senior secured second lien notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”) issued pursuant to an indenture, among the Issuer, the Company, the other Guarantors (as defined below), Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee and as collateral agent (the "Indenture") and (ii) entered into an amended and restated ABL Facility (as subsequently amended, the "ABL Facility") by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agent, sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, the other lenders party thereto, which provided up to $125.0 million of asset-based revolving loan commitments to the Company and the other borrowers under the ABL Facility. The proceeds from the Senior Notes, along with certain borrowings under the ABL Facility, were used to repay all outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s then existing Term Loan Agreement (see discussion below), dated December 6, 2018, and pay related fees and expenses.

On July 29, 2022, the ABL Facility was amended to, among other changes, increase the maximum revolver borrowings available to be drawn thereunder from $125.0 million to $160.0 million and increase the letter of credit sublimit from $7.5 million to $10.5 million. The ABL Facility also provides for an uncommitted accordion feature under which the borrowers under the ABL Facility can, subject to specified conditions, increase the ABL Facility by up to an additional $75.0 million. The $35.0 million in incremental commitments was provided by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

On June 1, 2023, the ABL Facility was amended to, among other changes, (1) increase the maximum revolver borrowings available to be drawn thereunder from $160.0 million to $225.0 million, (2) increase the letter of credit sublimit from $10.5 million to $22.5 million and (3) extend the maturity of the ABL Facility to the earlier of (a) June 1, 2028 and (b) the date that is 180 days prior to (i) the final stated maturity date of the Senior Notes or (ii) the date the Senior Notes become due and payable. The ABL Facility also provides for an uncommitted accordion feature under which the borrowers under the ABL Facility can, subject to specified conditions, increase the ABL Facility by up to an additional $75.0 million. The $65.0 million in incremental commitments were provided by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and PNC Bank, N.A. The amended ABL Facility was treated as a debt modification. The Company capitalized an additional $0.5 million of debt issuance costs related to the June 1, 2023, ABL Facility amendment. The preexisting unamortized deferred costs of $1.4 million and the additional costs of $0.5 million will be amortized from June 1, 2023 through June 1, 2028.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

Commercial Self-Insured Losses

The Company retains a significant portion of the risk for workers' compensation, automobile, and general liability losses (“self-insured commercial liability”). Reserves have been recorded that reflect the undiscounted estimated liabilities including claims incurred but not reported. When a recognized liability is covered by third-party insurance, the Company records an insurance claim receivable to reflect the covered liability. Amounts estimated to be paid within one year have been included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, with the remainder included in Other liabilities, non-current on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Insurance claims receivables that are expected to be received from third-party insurance within one year have been included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets, with the remainder included in Other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes as of July 31, 2023 for (1) recorded liabilities, related to both asserted as well as unasserted insurance claims and (2) any related insurance claims receivables.

Medical Self-Insured Losses

The Company offers employee health benefits via a partially self-insured medical benefit plan. Participant claims exceeding certain limits are covered by a stop-loss insurance policy. The Company contracts with a third-party administrator for tasks including, but not limited to, processing claims and remitting benefits. As of July 31, 2023, the Company had accrued $2.1 million, for estimated health claims incurred but not reported based on historical claims amounts and average lag time.

Litigation

Share Repurchase Program

In January 2023, the board of directors of the Company approved a $10.0 million increase to the Company’s share repurchase program. This authorization will expire on March 31, 2024 and is in addition to the repurchase authorization of up to $10.0 million through June 15, 2023 that was previously approved in June 2022.

Note 16. Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. For purposes of calculating earnings per share (“EPS”), a company that has participating security holders (for example, holders of unvested restricted stock that have non-forfeitable dividend rights and the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock) is required to utilize the two-class method for calculating EPS unless the treasury stock method results in lower EPS. The two-class method is an allocation of earnings/(loss) between the holders of common stock and a company’s participating security holders. Under the two-class method, earnings/(loss) for the reporting period is calculated by taking the net income (loss) for the period, less both the dividends declared in the period on participating securities (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) for the period. Our common shares outstanding are comprised of shareholder owned common stock and shares of unvested restricted stock held by participating security holders. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, excluding participating shares. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares as determined for basic earnings per share plus shares potentially issuable in conjunction with unvested restricted stock awards, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options and shares of zero-dividend convertible perpetual preferred stock outstanding.

Business Overview

The Company is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein include the accounts of Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries including Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping, Inc. (“Brundage-Bone”), Capital Pumping, LP (“Capital”), and Camfaud Group Limited (“Camfaud”), and Eco-Pan, Inc. (“Eco-Pan”).

As part of the Company’s business growth and capital allocation strategy, the Company views strategic acquisitions as opportunities to enhance our value proposition through differentiation and competitiveness. Depending on the deal size and characteristics of the M&A opportunities available, we expect to allocate capital for opportunistic M&A utilizing cash on the balance sheet and the Company's revolving line of credit. In recent years and as further described below, we have successfully executed on this strategy, including (1) our November 2021 acquisition of Pioneer Concrete Pumping Service, Inc. (“Pioneer”) for the purchase consideration of $20.2 million, which provided us with complementary assets and operations in both Georgia and Texas and (2) our acquisition of Coastal Carolina Concrete Pumping, Inc. ("Coastal") in August 2022 for the purchase consideration of $30.8 million, which expanded our operations in the Carolinas and Florida.

U.S. Concrete Pumping

Results of Operations

The tables included in the period-to-period comparisons below provide summaries of our revenues, gross profits and net income for our business segments for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022.

Three Months Ended July 31, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended July 31, 2022

Total revenue	$	120,671		$	104,469		$	16,202			15.5	%

Total revenue. Total revenues were $120.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 2023 compared to $104.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2022. Revenue by segment is further discussed below.

U.S. Concrete Pumping. Revenue for our U.S. Concrete Pumping segment increased by 12.9%, or $10.0 million, from $77.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 to $87.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 primarily driven from prior acquisitions and improved pricing.Revenue attributable to our acquisition of Coastal was $5.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

U.K. Operations. Revenue for our U.K. Operations segment increased by 19.7%, or $2.8 million, from $14.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 to $ 17.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Excluding the impact from foreign currency translation, revenue was up 17.5% year-over-year. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to improved pricing across the U.K. region.

U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services. Revenue for the U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services segment improved by 28.8%, or $3.7 million, from $12.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 to $16.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in revenue was primarily due to organic volume growth due to an increase in demand and pricing improvements.

Corporate. There was no change in revenue for our Corporate segment for the periods presented. Any year-over-year changes for our Corporate segment are primarily related to the intercompany leasing of real estate to certain of our U.S. Concrete Pumping branches. These revenues are eliminated in consolidation through the Intersegment line item.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

	Three Months Ended July 31,						Change
(in thousands, unless otherwise stated)	2023			2022			$		%
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross Profit		49,484			41,934			7,550		18.0	%
Gross Margin		41.0	%		40.1	%

Gross margin. Our gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was 41.0% compared to 40.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The slight increase in our gross margin was primarily related to the strong revenue growth discussed above and the easing of diesel fuel prices, partially offset by inflationary pressures primarily in labor inflation.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses ("G&A"). G&A expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 were $29.9 million, an increase of $2.1 million from $27.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. G&A expenses as a percent of revenue were 24.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 26.6% for the same period a year ago. The dollar increase in G&A expenses was largely due to higher labor costs of approximately $3.0 million as a result of additional headcount from recent acquisitions.

Excluding amortization of intangible assets of $4.7 million, depreciation expense of $0.6 million and stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million, G&A expenses were $23.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 (19.6% of revenue), up $3.2 million from $20.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 (19.6% of revenue). The increase was primarily due to the higher labor costs as discussed above.

Total other income (expense)

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $7.1 million, up $0.5 million from $6.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a higher average ABL revolver draw during the fiscal 2023 third quarter as compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023 the Company recognized a $0.9 million gain on the fair value remeasurement of our liability-classified warrants. During the third quarter of fiscal 2022 the Company recognized a $7.4 million gain on the fair value measurement of our liability-classified warrants. The continued decline in the fair value remeasurement of the public warrants for both periods presented is due to the Company's share price trading below the exercise price as the warrants get closer to expiring in December 2023.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense. For the third fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2023 the Company recorded income tax expense of $3.3 million on pretax income of $13.7 million. For the same quarter a year ago, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $2.0 million on a pretax income of $15.0 million. The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2023 was primarily impacted by the respective change in fair value of warrant liabilities, which is not recognized for tax purposes.

Gross Margin		40.2	%		40.2	%

Gross margin. Our gross margin for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 was 40.2%. The margin has remained consistent due to the easing of diesel fuel prices being completely offset by inflationary pressures primarily in labor inflation.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses ("G&A"). G&A expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 were $87.2 million, an increase of $4.1 million from $83.2 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2022. The increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to (1) higher labor costs of approximately $6.2 million primarily due to additional headcount that joined the Company as a result of recent acquisitions, (2) higher rent, utilities and office expenses aggregating to $1.2 million primarily from recent acquisitions and (3) higher legal and accounting expenses, partially offset by $2.9 million in additional non-cash expense related to fluctuations in the GBP and lower amortization of intangible assets expense of $2.6 million. G&A expenses as a percent of revenue were 27.1% for fiscal 2023 compared to 29.0% for the same period a year ago.

Excluding amortization of intangible assets of $14.3 million, depreciation expense of $1.8 million and stock-based compensation expense of $3.1 million, G&A expenses were $68.0 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 (21.1% of revenue), up $7.7 million from $60.3 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2022 (21.0% of revenue). The increase was primarily due to the higher labor costs, legal and accounting costs, rent, utilities, and office expenses, which was partially offset by fluctuations in the GBP as discussed above.

Total other income (expense)

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was $21.3 million, up $2.2 million from $19.1 million from the nine months ended July 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a higher average ABL revolver draw during the (nine months ended July 31, 2023) as compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities. During the nine months ended July 31, 2023 the Company recognized a $6.6 million gain on the fair value remeasurement of our liability-classified warrants. During the nine months ended July 31, 2022 the Company recognized a $9.9 million gain on the fair value measurement of our liability-classified warrants. The continued decline in the fair value remeasurement of the public warrants for all periods presented is due to the Company's share price trading below the exercise price as the warrants get closer to expiring in December 2023.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense. For the nine months ended July 31, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $ 5.4 million on pretax income of $ 27.8 million. For the same period a year ago, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $ 2.5 million on pretax income of $ 22.7 million. The effective tax rate for the three and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2023 was primarily impacted by the respective change in fair value of warrant liabilities, which is not recognized for tax purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our capital structure is primarily a combination of (1) permanent financing, represented by stockholders’ equity; (2) zero-dividend convertible perpetual preferred stock; (3) long-term financing represented by our Senior Notes and (4) short-term financing under our ABL Facility. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations, available cash and cash equivalents and access to our revolving credit facility under our ABL Facility, which provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $225.0 million, subject to a borrowing base limitation. We use our liquidity and capital resources to: (1) finance working capital requirements; (2) service our indebtedness; (3) purchase property, plant and equipment; and (4) finance strategic acquisitions, such as the acquisition of Pioneer, Coastal and others. As of July 31, 2023, we had $11.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $184.0 million of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility, providing total available liquidity of $195.5 million.

We may from time to time seek to retire or pay down borrowings on the outstanding balance of our ABL Facility or Senior Notes using cash on hand. Such repayments, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalent balances, cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, potential acquisitions and overall economic conditions. To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of liquidity are insufficient to fund our future business activities and requirements, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service obligations and the instruments governing such debt could provide for operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations.

Material Cash Requirements

Our principal uses of cash historically have been to fund operating activities and working capital, purchases of property and equipment, strategic acquisitions, fund payments due under facility operating and finance leases, share repurchases and to meet debt service requirements.

Our working capital deficit as of July 31, 2023 was $2.4 million. We generally operate with a working capital deficit due to our efficient use of cash in funding operations and because we have consistent access to capital markets. We believe we have adequate coverage of our debt covenants.

Table of Contents

The amount of our future capital expenditures will depend on a number of factors including general economic conditions and growth prospects. In response to changing economic conditions, we believe we have the flexibility to modify our capital expenditures by adjusting them (either up or down) to match our actual performance. Our capital expenditures for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 were approximately $43.2 million and $81.0 million, respectively.

To service our debt, we require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to pay interest and principal on our indebtedness will depend upon our future operating performance and the availability of borrowings under the ABL Facility and/or other debt and equity financing alternatives available to us, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and conditions in the global credit and capital markets, as well as financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Based on our current level of operations and given the current state of the capital markets, we believe our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowings under the ABL Facility will be adequate to service our debt and meet our future liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. See “Senior Notes and ABL Facility” discussion below for more information.

Future Contractual Obligations

For information regarding our future contractual obligations, see the MD&A discussion included in Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report.

Senior Notes and ABL Facility

The table below is a summary of the composition of the Company’s debt balances as of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022:

			As of July 31,			As of October 31,

On June 1, 2023, the ABL Facility was amended to, among other changes, (1) increase the maximum revolver borrowings available to be drawn thereunder from $160.0 million to $225.0 million, (2) increase the letter of credit sublimit from $10.5 million to $22.5 million and (3) extend the maturity of the ABL Facility to the earlier of (a) June 1, 2028 and (b) the date that is 180 days prior to (i) the final stated maturity date of the Senior Notes or (ii) the date the Senior Notes become due and payable. The ABL Facility also provides for an uncommitted accordion feature under which the borrowers under the ABL Facility can, subject to specified conditions, increase the ABL Facility by up to an additional $75.0 million. The $65.0 million in incremental commitments were provided by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and PNC Bank, N.A. The amended ABL Facility was treated as a debt modification. The Company capitalized an additional $0.5 million of debt issuance costs related to the June 1, 2023, ABL Facility amendment. The preexisting unamortized deferred costs of $1.4 million and the additional costs of $0.5 million will be amortized from June 1, 2023 through June 1, 2028.

The outstanding balance under the ABL Facility as of July 31, 2023 was $35.7 million and as of that date, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants. In addition, as of July 31, 2023, the Company had $1.1 million in credit line reserves and a letter of credit balance of $4.2 million. As of July 31, 2023, we had $184.0 million of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility. Debt issuance costs related to revolving credit facilities are capitalized and reflected as an asset in deferred financing costs in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company had debt issuance costs related to the revolving credit facilities of $1.9 million as of July 31, 2023. See Note 9 for more information on the Senior Notes and ABL Facility.

Cash Flows

Cash generated from operating activities typically reflects net income, as adjusted for non-cash expense items such as depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, and changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Generally, we believe our business requires a relatively low level of working capital investment due to low inventory requirements and timely customer payments due to daily billings for most of our services.

Cash flow provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities generally reflects the cash effects of transactions and other events used in the determination of net income or loss.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was $66.2 million. The Company had net income of $22.4 million, which included non-cash expense items of $46.5 million. In addition, we had cash outflows related to an increase to our working capital of $2.6 million. Working capital changes primarily include an increase in accrued payroll, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $4.5 million, an increase in trade receivables of $3.2 million, a decrease of $2.1 million to accounts payable, an increase in inventory of $1.0 million and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.9 million. The increase in accrued payroll, accrued expenses and other current liabilities is primarily related to timing of the payment of accrued interest. The Company makes semi-annual interest payments in February and August each year. The increase in trade receivables is due to stronger revenue growth. The decrease in accounts payable is driven by timing of vendor payments.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2022 was $53.7 million. The Company had net income of $20.1 million, which included non-cash expense items of $40.9 million. In addition, we had cash outflows related to an increase to our working capital of $7.3 million. Working capital changes primarily include an increase to trade receivables of $11.0 million, an increase to prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1.2 million an increase in accrued payroll, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $7.5 million and a decrease of $2.3 million to accounts payable. The increase to trade receivables is primarily due to timing of customer payments and seasonality of business volume increases during the second and third quarters of the fiscal year. The increase to prepaid expenses and other current assets is primarily due to timing of prepaid insurance, which is generally prepaid during first quarter of fiscal year 2022. The decrease to accounts payable is driven by timing of vendor payments. The increase in accrued payroll, accrued expenses and other current liabilities is primarily related to an increase in accrued interest. The Company makes semi-annual interest payments in February and August each year.

Cash flow used in investing activities. Net cash used in operating activities generally reflects the cash outflows for property, plant and equipment.

We used $35.9 million to fund investing activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2023. The Company used $43.2 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment and $0.8 million for the purchase of intangible assets, which was partially offset by $8.0 million in proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment.

We used $76.2 million to fund investing activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2022. The Company used $81.0 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment and $1.5 million for the purchase of intangible assets, which was partially offset by proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $6.2 million.

Cash flow provided by (used in) financing activities.

Net cash used in financing activities was $26.7 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2023. Financing activities during this period included $9.7 million in purchase of treasury stock, which included $8.6 million purchased under the share repurchase program and $1.1 million in outflows from the purchase of shares into treasury stock in order to fund the employee tax obligations for certain vested stock awards. In addition, cash used in financing activities included $16.4 million in net proceeds under the Company's ABL Facility.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $14.4 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2022. Financing activities during this period primarily included $16.1 million in net borrowings under the Company’s ABL Facility that were partially offset by $1.4 million in outflows from the purchase of shares into treasury stock in order to fund the employee tax obligations for certain vested stock awards.

Accounting and Other Reporting Matters

Non-GAAP Measures (EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA)

We calculate EBITDA by taking GAAP net income and adding back interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking EBITDA and adding back transaction expenses, loss on debt extinguishment, stock-based compensation, other income, net, goodwill and intangibles impairment and other adjustments. Transaction expenses represent expenses for legal, accounting, and other professionals that were engaged in the completion of various acquisitions. Transaction expenses can be volatile as they are primarily driven by the size of a specific acquisition. As such, we exclude these amounts from Adjusted EBITDA for comparability across periods. Other adjustments include the adjustments for warrant liabilities revaluation, non-recurring expenses and non-cash currency gains/losses. As of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we have modified the method in which adjusted EBITDA is calculated by no longer including an add-back for director costs and public company expenses. Adjusted EBITDA in the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022 is recast by $0.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for these expenses to reflect this change.

We believe these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends related to our financial condition and results of operations, and as a supplemental tool for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with competitors who also present similar non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, these measures (1) are used in quarterly and annual financial reports prepared for management and our board of directors and (2) help management to determine incentive compensation. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently or may not calculate it at all, which limits the usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as comparative measures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management of the Company, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of July 31, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses described below.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management previously identified and disclosed two material weaknesses in "Item 9A Controls and Procedures" of the Company’s Annual Report. Specifically, material weaknesses were identified related to (1) the review of manual journal entries within the financial statement close process, which was identified in connection with the restatement of the Company’s interim unaudited financial statements as of July 31, 2022 ("MW #1"); and (2) the areas of user access and segregation of duties related to information technology systems that support the financial reporting process specifically related to accounts payable and expenditures ("MW #2").

Additionally, these material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of the accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Remediation Activities

As of July 31, 2023, management designed and implemented measures that it believes remediate the identified material weaknesses. Specifically, for MW #1, controls were designed and implemented and evidenced to ensure that journal entries are adequately reviewed and approved, and for MW #2, the Company has designed and implemented a review of user activity reports and control activities to ensure appropriate segregation of duties. Notwithstanding these measures, due to the nature of the remediation process, newly implemented controls must operate effectively for a sufficient period of time for a definitive conclusion, validated through testing, that the deficiencies have been fully remediated and, as such, management can give no assurance that the measures it has undertaken have fully remediated the material weaknesses that it has identified or that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future. Consequently, management will continue to monitor the design and effectiveness of these controls through ongoing tests and will make any further changes that management determines to be appropriate.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our third fiscal quarter of fiscal 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
