Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1: Business and Organization

Organization

Nesco Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), a Delaware corporation, serves as the parent for our primary operating company, NESCO, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, with Holdings, “we,” “our,” “us,” “Nesco,” or the "Company"), and is engaged in the business of providing a range of services and products to customers through rentals of specialty equipment, sales of parts related to the specialty equipment, and repair and maintenance services related to that equipment.

Our wholly-owned subsidiaries include: NESCO, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company, NESCO Holdings I, Inc., a Delaware corporation, NESCO Finance Corporation, a Delaware corporation, NESCO Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, NESCO International, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and NESCO El Alquiler S. de R.L. de C.V., an operating company in Mexico.

We are a specialty equipment rental provider to the electric utility transmission and distribution, telecommunications and rail industries in North America.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair statement of these interim statements have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year or for any other period. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Use of Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to use judgment to make estimates that directly affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates are used for items including, but not limited to, the useful lives and residual values of our rental equipment, and business combinations. In addition, estimates are used to test both long-lived assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived assets for impairment, and to determine the fair value of impaired assets, if any impairment exists. These estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis using information currently available, and we revise our recorded estimates as updated information becomes available, facts and circumstances change, or actual amounts become determinable. Actual results could differ from our estimates. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period results.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. Accordingly, we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements related to effective dates for the adoption of newly issued standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). An emerging growth company is permitted to apply the effective dates applicable to non-public entities, which generally are delayed in comparison to public entities that are non-emerging growth entities.

Leases

The FASB’s new guidance to account for leases (“Topic 842”) by entities that are lessees, requires (1) recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and (2) disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 provides two classifications for leases: financing or operating.

Finance leases - The accounting and recognition for leases qualifying as finance leases is similar to the accounting and recognition required under ASC Topic 840, "Leases (“Topic 840”)," for capital leases. As of June 30, 2020, we have capital lease obligations of approximately $24.4 million. When we make our contractually required payments under the capital leases, we allocate a portion to reduce the capital lease obligation and a portion is recognized as interest expense. The assets leased under the capital leases are included in rental equipment, and depreciation thereon is recognized in cost of rental revenue.

Operating leases - Under Topic 842, operating leases result in the recognition of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. ROU assets represent our right to use the leased asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Under Topic 842, operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date and measured based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease ROU assets will also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease that we are reasonably certain to exercise. Lease expense under Topic 842 will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Upon adoption of Topic 842, we expect to recognize operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities that reflect the present value of these future payments, which we currently estimate to be in the range of $8.0 million to $10.0 million.

The FASB issued new guidance with respect to deferring the effective date of Topic 842 by one year. Accordingly, we will adopt Topic 842 effective January 1, 2022, using the transition method that allows us to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit in the period of adoption. A modified retrospective approach is required for adoption for all leases that exist at or commence after the date of initial application with an option to use certain practical expedients. We expect to use the package of practical expedients that allows us to not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases.

Under Topic 842, lessor accounting will remain substantially similar to the current accounting; however, certain refinements were made to conform the standard with the recently issued revenue recognition guidance in ASC Topic 606," Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”)," specifically related to the allocation and recognition of contract consideration earned from lease and non-lease revenue components. On July 30, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which created a practical expedient that provides lessors an option not to separate lease and non-lease components when certain criteria are met and instead account for those components as a single lease component. We are currently in the process of evaluating whether our lease arrangements will meet the criteria under the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component, which would alleviate the requirement upon adoption of Topic 842 that we reallocate or separately present lease and non-lease components.

Measurement of Current Expected Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," to update the methodology used to measure current expected credit losses (“CECL”). This ASU applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases, and trade accounts receivable as well as certain off-balance sheet credit exposures, such as loan commitments. This ASU replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology to reflect CECL and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to explain credit loss estimates. The guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings (deficit) in the period of adoption. For emerging growth companies electing the modified transition dates of non-public entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350)," intended to simplify the subsequent accounting for goodwill acquired in a business combination. Prior guidance required utilizing a two-step process to review goodwill for impairment. A second step was required if there was an indication that an impairment may exist, and the second step required calculating the potential impairment by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill (as if purchase accounting were performed on the testing date) to the carrying amount of the goodwill. The new guidance eliminates the second step from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and then recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value (although the loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit). The guidance requires prospective adoption and will be effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption of this guidance is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are currently assessing the expected impact on our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Following the adoption of Topic 606, as of January 1, 2018, we recognized revenue in accordance with two different accounting standards: 1) Topic 606 and 2) Topic 840, which addresses lease accounting, for which we will adopt an update to this standard using the modified retrospective approach, as described herein. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we recognized rental revenue in accordance with Topic 840, Leases, which is the lease accounting standard.

Under Topic 606, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. A “performance obligation” is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account under Topic 606. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services. As reflected below, most of our revenue is accounted for under Topic 840. Our contracts with customers generally do not include multiple performance obligations. The inset below presents our revenue types based on the accounting standard used to determine the accounting.

Rental revenue is primarily comprised of revenues from rental agreements and freight charges billed to customers as well as charges to customers for damaged equipment. Effective July 1, 2019, damage billings are classified in rental revenue, given that the amounts are directly related to the Company's rental arrangements with its customers. Amounts for damages in comparable prior periods have been reclassified to rental revenue from parts and services ($0.6 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively). Additionally, sales of equipment, which are presented separately between sales of rental equipment and new equipment, were previously presented on a combined basis as equipment sales. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, sales of rental equipment were $4.3 million and $11.7 million, respectively, and sales of new equipment were $4.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively.

Inventory

Parts, tools and accessories inventory is primarily comprised of items purchased for resale or rent to customers. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, in connection with a new inventory management system, we elected to change our method for these inventories, which were previously valued using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, to the moving average cost method. We believe the change is preferable because it better reflects movement of the inventory and the corresponding value which provides a better reflection of periodic income from operations. This change was not applied retrospectively to prior periods, as the effect of the change was not material to our consolidated financial statements, including interim periods.

Also included within parts, tools and accessories inventory are materials and components that we carry to service our rental fleet and new equipment held for sale. These materials and components are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis.

Equipment inventory consists of equipment bought specifically for resale to customers. These new purchases are recorded directly to inventory when received. Equipment inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a specific identification basis.

Inventory consisted of the following:


(in $000s)	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Parts, tools and accessories inventory	$	27,324	$	30,174

Note 3: Segments

We have two reportable business segments, Equipment Rental and Sales (“ERS”) and Parts, Tools, and Accessories (“PTA”). ERS provides rental solutions to utilities and contractors serving multiple infrastructure end-markets, including electric transmission and distribution, telecom, rail, lighting and signage. We rent and sell specialized equipment to utilities and utility contractors that build and maintain critical transmission and distribution infrastructure. Utilizing our national platform and rental fleet, we expanded our focus on equipment rental to the telecom, rail, lighting and signage end-markets. The majority of our existing equipment can be used across multiple end-markets and many of our customers operate in these multiple end-markets. We rent and sell a broad range of new and used equipment including bucket trucks, digger derricks, line equipment, cranes, pressure diggers, rail mounted equipment and underground equipment. Our PTA segment offers customers sale and rental solutions for parts, tools, and accessories to complement our specialty equipment line doing business servicing these same end-markets.

Our reportable segments align with the information our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) receives on a regular basis to evaluate the performance of the business and to allocate resources. The accounting principles applied at the operating segment level in determining gross profit are generally the same as those applied at the consolidated financial statement level. There are no inter-segment revenues, and cost allocations to operating segment cost of revenue are minimal; that is, revenue, cost of equipment and parts sold or rented, depreciation of rental equipment and gross profit are directly attributed to each of the operating segments. The following tables present our financial information by segment:

(1) As discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, rental revenue is primarily comprised of revenues from rental agreements and freight charges billed to customers as well as charges to customers for damaged equipment. Effective in 2019, billings to customers for damages are classified in rental revenue, given that the amounts are directly related to the Company’s rental arrangements with its customers. Amounts for damages in the comparable prior period have been reclassified to rental revenue from parts sales and services ($0.6 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively).

(2) Amounts for equipment rental revenue of $0.7 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, previously reported in the PTA segment as rental revenue have been reclassified to the ERS segment to align the reportable segment information to the information our CODM began receiving on a regular basis in 2019.

Total assets by segment are not disclosed herein because asset by operating segment data is not reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources.

Gross profit is the primary operating result whereby our segments are evaluated for performance and resource allocation. The following table presents a reconciliation of consolidated gross profit to consolidated loss before income taxes:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Note 4: Business Combination

On September 20, 2019, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Truck Utilities, Inc. (“Truck Utilities”). Truck Utilities is a specialty rentals, parts, tools and accessories sales, service, equipment sales and truck upfitting company serving the electric transmission, distribution, telecom, and other regional end-markets. On November 4, 2019, we closed on the acquisition for a purchase price of approximately $44.7 million (net of cash acquired of $3.1 million), prior to certain capital expenditure adjustments of approximately $3.8 million. Truck Utilities’ rentals, equipment sales and truck upfitting operations were added to our ERS segment, while its parts, tools and accessories sales and service were added to our PTA segment. The transaction was financed by drawing on the 2019 Credit Facility.

As of the date of this report, we were in the preliminary phases of preparing the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation for this acquisition presented below is preliminary. Completion of the purchase price allocation, which we expect will be completed during the third quarter of 2020, will encompass the finalization of valuations for acquisition-date working capital, intangible assets, property and equipment, as well as completion of acquisition-related income tax

assessments. We have estimated the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using the information that was available. Upon completion of the valuation process, amounts recognized could change resulting in additional expenses recognized for depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets in future periods.

We accounted for the acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price has been allocated to the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired as determined by management with the assistance of independent third parties. The results of operations of Truck Utilities has been included with the Company’s results since the date of the acquisition. Transaction costs associated with the acquisitions were expensed as incurred.

The fair value (which remains provisional) of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date is presented below.


(in $000s)
Current assets, net of current liabilities	$	319
Property and equipment	78
Rental equipment	38,780
Customer relationships	2,820
Total identifiable assets acquired	41,997
Goodwill	9,523
Total consideration	$	51,520

The preliminary values of intangible assets and goodwill related to the acquisition of Truck Utilities consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale provided by the acquired rental equipment portion of the business, as well as additional service center locations in the central Midwestern region of the United States. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 we recorded adjustments to the preliminary fair value assigned to certain rental equipment, which reduced goodwill. These adjustments were not significant. Goodwill has been preliminarily allocated to the ERS and PTA reporting units in the amount of $6.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

The operating results of the acquisition have been reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. Truck Utilities reported revenue of $10.1 million and pretax income of $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 ($22.5 million and $0.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020). The following pro forma information is presented for comparison purposes as if the Truck Utilities acquisition was completed as of January 1, 2019:


(in $000s)	Three Months Ended June 30, 2019		Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Total revenue	$	73,811	$	146,316
Net loss	(5,667)		(12,082)
Basic and diluted net loss per share	(0.26)		(0.56)

Less current maturities	(1,280)		(1,280)
Long-term debt	$	732,805	$	713,023

On March 10, 2020, we entered into an agreement (the “Incremental Agreement”) amending the 2019 Credit Facility. The Incremental Agreement amends the syndicate of banks for a new participant that increased the maximum amount of the facility by $35.0 million to a total of $385.0 million. As of June 30, 2020, there was $78.3 million (excluding cash) of availability under the 2019 Credit Facility.

Note 6: Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets consisted of the following:


(in $000s)	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Goodwill	$	238,237	$	238,195
Nesco trade name	28,000		28,000
Other intangible assets:
Trade names	1,030		1,030
Non-compete agreements	380		380
Customer relationships	52,880		52,880
	82,290		82,290
Less: accumulated amortization	(13,200)		(11,738)
Intangible assets, net	69,090		70,552
Goodwill and intangible assets	$	307,327	$	308,747

Goodwill related to our ERS segment and PTA segment was $229.5 million and $8.7 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

We perform our annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth quarter of each year. In addition to the annual impairment test, we regularly assess whether a triggering event has occurred which would require interim impairment testing. During the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, we qualitatively assessed whether it was more likely than not that the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were impaired. Based that interim impairment assessment, we determined that our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we did not identify any triggering events that necessitated an impairment test.

Note 7: Earnings per Share

The merger and other related transactions with Capitol Investment Corp. IV were accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Earnings per share has been recast for all historical periods to reflect the Company's capital structure for all comparative periods.

Diluted net income (loss) per share includes the effects of potentially dilutive shares of common stock. Potentially dilutive effects include the exercise of warrants, contingently issuable shares, and share-based compensation, all of which have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share because earnings are at a net loss and therefore, the potentially dilutive effect would be anti-dilutive. The share amounts of our potentially dilutive shares excluded aggregated 27.5 million and 27.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and dilutive loss per share:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Net loss (in $000s)	$	(13,150)	$	(5,423)	$	(29,119)	$	(12,147)



Weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding	49,033,903		21,660,638		49,033,903		21,660,638
Basic and diluted net loss per share	$	(0.27)	$	(0.25)	$	(0.59)	$	(0.56)

Note 8: Share-Based Compensation

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company approved the 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which authorizes up to 3,150,000 shares of common stock of Nesco Holdings, Inc. for issuance in accordance with the plan’s terms, subject to certain adjustments. On June 11, 2020, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which increased the total authorized shares of common stock of Nesco Holdings, Inc. to 6,150,000 (the "Plan"). The purpose of the Plan is to provide the Company's and its subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees and consultants who, by their position, ability and diligence, are able to make important contributions to the Company’s growth and profitability, with an incentive to assist the Company in achieving its long-term corporate objectives, to attract and retain executive officers and other employees of outstanding competence and to provide such persons with an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company. To accomplish these objectives, the Plan provides for awards of equity-based incentives through granting of restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights and other stock or cash based awards. At June 30, 2020, there were 2,241,000 shares in the share reserve still available for issuance.

The Company records share-based compensation awards using a fair value method and recognizes compensation expense for an amount equal to the fair value of the share-based payment issued in its financial statements. The Company’s share-based compensation plans include programs for stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs"), and deferred compensation.

Compensation Expense

Share-based compensation expense was $0.6 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company's board of directors approved and awarded various share grants under the Plan, totaling approximately 1.2 million options and 0.8 million RSUs. As of June 30, 2020, there was approximately $10.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based compensation arrangements under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.4 years.

Note 9: Fair Value Measurements

FASB accounting standards provide a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. Levels within the hierarchy are defined as follows:

•Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;

•Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets (other than those included in Level 1) which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

•Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The following table sets forth the carrying values (exclusive of deferred financing fees) and fair values of our financial liabilities:


	Carrying Value		Fair Value
(in $000s)			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
June 30, 2020

Note 10: Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company uses various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, to manage the risks associated with interest rate exposure. These financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes.

The fair values of derivative instruments included within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:


	Liability Derivatives
(in $000s)	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Derivative instruments:
Interest rate collar	$	8,476	$	1,709
Total derivative instruments	$	8,476	$	1,709

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

On July 17, 2019, we entered into an interest rate collar agreement to mitigate the risk of changes in the interest rate paid during the contract period for $170.0 million of the Company's variable rate loans under the 2019 Credit Facility. Under the terms of the interest rate collar, we are required to pay the counterparty to the agreement an amount equal to the difference between a monthly LIBOR-based interest rate and a defined interest rate floor; conversely, we are entitled to receive from the counterparty an amount equal to the excess of a LIBOR-based interest rate and a defined interest rate cap. The required payments due to or due from the counterparty are calculated by applying the interest rate differential to the notional amount ($170.0 million) and are determined monthly through July 31, 2024. The interest rate collar expires in July 2024 and has not been designated as a cash flow hedge. Consequently, the change in fair value of the interest rate collar ($0.8 million and $6.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively) is recognized in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within Other (income) expense, net.

Derivatives Instruments Designated as Hedges

When a derivative contract is entered into, the Company may designate the derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, a cash flow hedge of a recognized asset or liability or as an undesignated derivative. When a derivative is designated, the Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identification of the derivative instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivative instruments that are designated as hedges to specific assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions.

The fair market value of derivative instruments is determined through market-based valuations and may not be representative of the actual gains or losses that will be recorded when these instruments mature due to future fluctuations in the markets in which they are traded.

The Company assesses at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in cash flow hedging transactions are effective in offsetting the changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. To the extent the derivative is deemed to be an effective

hedge, the fair market value changes of the instrument are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into net loss when the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair market value of derivatives not deemed to be an effective hedge are recorded in net loss in the period of change. If the hedging relationship ceases to be effective subsequent to inception, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the hedging relationship will be undesignated and any future gains and losses on the derivative instrument will be recorded in net loss.

We entered into an interest rate collar on December 4, 2018, to hedge the interest rate risk associated with our previous revolving credit facility, which was repaid on the date of the merger with Capitol Investment Corp. IV. The interest rate collar was designated as a cash flow hedge and had a term extending to September 30, 2020. On July 17, 2019, we terminated the interest rate collar, which resulted in the hedge becoming undesignated. Accordingly, $0.8 million (net of income taxes of $0.3 million) was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to Other income (expense) net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies

We record a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. We review these provisions at least quarterly and adjust these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information.

Legal Matters

We are subject to various claims and legal actions that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. These matters include, but are not limited to, general liability claims (including personal injury, product liability, property, and auto claims), indemnification and guarantee obligations, employee injuries and employment-related claims, and contract and real estate matters. We maintain insurance coverage for our operations and employees. Our major policies include coverage for property, general liability, auto, directors and officers, health, and workers’ compensation insurances. The ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to such matters generally cannot be estimated with certainty and requires the use of estimates in recording liabilities for potential litigation settlements against us. Estimates for losses from litigation are made after consultation with outside legal counsel. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Purchase Commitments

We enter into purchase agreements with manufacturers and suppliers of equipment for our rental fleet and inventory. All of these agreements are cancelable within a specified notification period to the supplier.

Note 12: COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization ("the WHO") declared the rapid spread of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") a global health pandemic. Beginning in March, governmental authorities began imposing restrictions on non-essential activities as part of social distancing measures. These measures have adversely affected the global and North American economies. The end markets Nesco operates in have been identified by the United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency ("CISA") as a critical markets that should continue operating throughout the pandemic, appropriately modified to adhere to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control workforce and customer protection guidance.

We have undertaken efforts intended to maintain the health and safety of our employees and their families and to ensure the Company's continued financial and operational viability, especially in relation to our position as a supplier to critical industries. Employees whose tasks can be completed offsite have been instructed to work from home. Our service locations remain operational, and we are maintaining social distancing and enhanced cleaning protocols and usage of personal protective equipment, where appropriate.

While Nesco’s business is considered critical, we are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our financial position and operating results due to numerous uncertainties. Some of our customers are delaying projects, deferring future capital equipment purchases and eliminating in-person sales meetings. As a result, our business has been and will continue to be adversely impacted by the pandemic. Since the pandemic began, management has been focused on delivering for our customers and managing our costs and cash flows while preparing for a future recovery. We have reduced our capital spending, our working capital balances and undertaken cost reduction efforts including limited headcount reductions. At the same time, we have continued to make opportunistic investments

in the fleet, systems and personnel to position the Company for long-term growth. We are continually monitoring the markets in which we operate and will take additional actions we believe are appropriate as the situation continues to develop.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Throughout this section, unless otherwise noted “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company,” or "Nesco” refers to Nesco Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The information provided below supplements, but does not form part of, our financial statements. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on the views and beliefs of Nesco’s management, as well as assumptions and estimates made by our management. Actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking statements as a result of various risk factors, including those that may not be in the control of management. For further information on items that could impact our future operating performance or financial condition, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2020, and our Quarterly Report filed with the SEC on May 7, 2020.

Overview of Markets and Related Industry Performance

The global and North American economies continue to face unprecedented uncertainty arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has necessitated governmental authorities, institutions and communities to take extraordinary actions. Nesco serves critical infrastructure sectors that have been identified by the by the United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency ("CISA") as vital to the U.S.

Accordingly, we have continued to meet the needs of our customers during the pandemic. We have also undertaken efforts intended to maintain the health and safety of our employees and their families, as well as our customers, vendors and communities.

While Nesco’s business is considered critical and while we delivered year-on-year increases in revenue and cash from operating activities during the second quarter of 2020 compared with the same period in 2019, we are unable to predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on our financial position and operating results due to ongoing uncertainties. Government and business mitigation efforts have varied from region to region as circumstances have unfolded at local levels. Some of our customers continue to delay projects, to defer capital equipment purchases and to minimize in-person sales meetings. As a result, our business has been and will continue to be adversely impacted by the pandemic.

The combination of our financial position, our available liquidity, the flexibility to reduce capital spending provided by our young fleet age and the critical nature of our end markets should help to lessen the impacts of COVID-19 on our financial performance. Should a prolonged downturn eventuate, sustained adverse impacts may affect our future valuation of certain assets and therefore may increase the likelihood of an impairment charge, write-off, or reserve associated with such assets, including goodwill, intangible assets, rental and property and equipment, inventories, accounts receivable and other assets.

Since the pandemic began, management has been focused on delivering for our customers and managing our costs and cash flows while preparing for a future recovery. We have reduced our capital spending, our working capital balances and undertaken cost reduction efforts including limited headcount reductions. At the same time, we have continued to make opportunistic investments in fleet, systems and personnel to position us for long-term growth. We are continually monitoring the markets in which we operate and will take additional measures we believe are appropriate as the situation continues to develop.

Starting in March, we saw a decline in demand from electric distribution customers in population centers where projects were delayed by efforts to promote social distancing. Electric distribution projects seem to have since stabilized. Electric transmission projects were more stable during the early part of the pandemic but experienced a normal seasonal summer slowdown starting in June. Electric distribution and transmission customers continue to have large backlogs of projects that must be undertaken to reduce fire hazards, to ensure the uninterrupted supply of electricity and to meet growing electricity demands of the future tied to increased household usages and vehicle electrification. We have experienced relative stability in the rail and telecom sectors. Telecom end-customers have announced intentions to continue to invest in 5G infrastructure and additional network enhancements designed to address deficiencies that became apparent with increased traffic during pandemic stay-at-home orders.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

We use a variety of operational and financial metrics, including non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, to enable us to analyze our performance and financial condition. We utilize these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis and believe that they are the most relevant measures of performance. Some of these measures are commonly used in our industry to evaluate performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide expanded insight to assess performance, in addition to the standard GAAP-based financial measures. There are no specific rules or regulations for determining non-GAAP measures, and as such, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies within the industry.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. You should read this discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition together with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto also included within.

Measures Related to our Fleet

We consider the following key operational measures when evaluating our performance and making day-to-day operating decisions:

Equipment on rent - Equipment on rent is the original equipment cost (“OEC”) of units rented to customers at a given point in time. Average equipment on rent is calculated as the weighted-average equipment on rent during the stated period. OEC represents the original equipment cost, exclusive of the effect of adjustments to rental equipment fleet acquired in business combinations. This adjusted measure of OEC is used by our creditors pursuant to our credit agreements, wherein this is a component of the basis for determining compliance with our financial loan covenants. Additionally, the pricing of our rental contracts and equipment sales prices for our equipment is based upon OEC, and we measure a rate of return from our rentals and sales using OEC. OEC is a widely used industry metric to compare fleet dollar value independent of depreciation.

Fleet count - Fleet count represents the average or period end (defined as either) equipment units held in our rental fleet over any period.

Fleet utilization - Fleet utilization, with respect to the average equipment units held in our rental fleet over any period, is defined as the total number of days the rental equipment was rented during the period divided by the total number of days such rental equipment could have been rented during the same period, assuming that each piece of equipment could have been rented every day in the period (i.e. no maintenance or planned downtime is included in the calculation).

Rental rate per day - Rental rate per day for the period is calculated as total rental revenue excluding freight and billings to customers for damaged equipment divided by the total billed rental days.

Fleet age - Fleet age represents the number of years from the manufacturer chassis year of the rental equipment unit through the current year end. We evaluate fleet age for each equipment type and our fleet as a whole. In order to calculate average fleet age by type and average total fleet age, we weight the fleet age by the number of units within the relevant group.

Gross Profit, Income from Operations and Cash Flow from Operations

Gross profit, income from operations and cash flow from operations are financial performance measures that we use to monitor our results from operations and to measure our performance against our debt covenants.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is also a financial performance measure that we use to monitor our results from operations, to measure our performance against our debt covenants and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors.

We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance because it is a useful financial metric to assess our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. Such items are excluded pursuant to the definition of Adjusted EBITDA in the 2019 Credit Facility and the Indenture, Adjusted EBITDA is the basis for several financial loan covenants contained in the 2019 Credit Facility. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods of our ability to generate cash from operations sufficient to pay taxes, service debt and undertake capital expenditures. We use these financial measures for business planning purposes, for loan compliance purposes, and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors.

Our use of the terms EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in its industry and therefore are limited in their usefulness as comparative measures. These financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance, operating cash flows or as measures of liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of U.S. GAAP financial measures. We encourage investors to review our non-GAAP financial measures together with our U.S. GAAP results and historical consolidated financial statements, and not in isolation. Other companies may use similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Accordingly, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA includes an adjustment to exclude the effects of purchase accounting adjustments when calculating the cost of used equipment sold. When equipment is purchased in connection with a business combination, the equipment is revalued to its then current fair value for accounting purposes. The consideration transferred (i.e., the purchase price) in a business combination is allocated to the fair value of equipment as of the acquisition date, with depreciation recorded thereafter following our accounting policies; however, this may not be indicative of our actual cost to acquire new equipment that we add to our fleet apart from a business acquisition. Additionally, the pricing of our rental contracts and equipment sales prices for our equipment is based upon OEC, and we measure a rate of return from our rentals and sales using OEC. As indicated above, the agreements governing our indebtedness define this adjustment to EBITDA, as such, and we believe this metric is a better indication of our true cost of equipment sales due to the removal of the purchase accounting adjustments.

Total Revenue. Total revenue for the second quarter 2020, increased by $5.6 million, or 9.0%, compared to the second quarter 2019. Rental revenue decreased $1.1 million, or 2.4%, compared to the same period in 2019. This was primarily a result of units coming off rent and lack of new project starts as customers delayed projects in response to COVID-19. This led to a decrease in average equipment on rent to $461.1 million in the current quarter from $464.7 million in the same quarter of 2019. Sales of rental equipment, which can vary from quarter to quarter, increased $0.7 million, or 15.0%, and sales of new equipment increased $0.9 million, or 20.9%, compared to the same period in 2019. Parts sales and service revenue increased $5.2 million, or 87.5%, compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to the acquisition of Truck Utilities.

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $25.9 million, or 20.8%, compared to the same period in 2019. Rental revenue increased $4.2 million, or 4.5%, compared to the same period in 2019 driven by investments made in 2019 and partially offset by delays in projects resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter. Sales of rental equipment increased $2.3 million, or 20.0%, and sales of new equipment increased $6.2 million, or 90.3%, compared to the same period in 2019. Parts sales and service revenue increased $13.2 million, or 109.5%, compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to the acquisition of Truck Utilities.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation of $19.7 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $7.2 million, or 28.4%, compared to the same period in 2019 ($9.9 million, or 23.5%, including depreciation).

Cost of revenue, excluding depreciation of $39.8 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $23.0 million, or 46.3%, compared to the same period in 2019 ($29.1 million, or 34.9%, including depreciation). The vast majority of the increase in cost of revenue for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 is due to the costs related to increases in parts sales and service revenue and in equipment sales revenue.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $3.0 million, or 27.7%, and $5.9 million, or 26.4%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The increase is primarily due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of increased headcount with the expansion of the organization and additional expenses incurred as a result of being a public company. Offsetting this increase is a reduction in transaction expenses of $1.3 million ($3.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2020) compared to the same period in 2019, which were directly related to the merger with Capitol in 2019.

Other Expense. Other expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $1.9 million, or 12.7%, and $8.9 million, or 30.0%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. This is primarily a result of the changes in fair value of an interest rate collar, which is an undesignated hedging instrument. The resulting expense in the current quarter related to the collar was approximately $0.8 million ($6.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2020). In addition, net interest expense in the current quarter increased by $1.1 million.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was a benefit of $1.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. This is due to our recovery of taxes paid in prior years as a result of the United States CARES Act that was enacted in March 2020.

Financial Performance

We believe that our operating model, together with our highly variable cost structure, enables us to sustain high margins, strong cash flow generation and stable financial performance throughout various economic cycles. We are able to generate substantial free cash flow through our earnings, as well as sales of used equipment. Our highly variable cost structure adjusts with the utilization of our equipment, thereby reducing our costs to match our revenue. We principally evaluate financial performance based on five measurements: Adjusted EBITDA, fleet count, fleet utilization, equipment dollars ("OEC") on rent and rental rate per day. The following table summarizes these operating metrics.

Financial performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:


	Three Months Ended June 30,							Six Months Ended June 30,
(in $000s, except fleet count and rate per day)	2020	2019	change	(%)	2020	2019	change	(%)
Adjusted EBITDA ^(a)	$26,168	$30,477	$(4,309)	(14.1)	$58,229	$60,911	$(2,682)	(4.4)
Average equipment on rent ^(b)	$461,100	$464,700	$(3,600)	(0.8)	$480,400	$458,400	$22,000	4.8
Average fleet count	4,615	4,086	529	12.9	4,621	4,000	621	15.5
Average fleet utilization^(c)	71.3%	80.2%	(8.9)%	(11.1)	73.6%	81.1%	(7.5)%	(9.2)
Average rental rate per day^(d)	$136.71	$136.67	$0.04	—	$137.26	$137.06	$0.20	0.1

(a) EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, provision for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA as further adjusted for (1) non-cash purchase accounting impact, (2) transaction and process improvement costs, including the effect of the cessation of operations in Mexico, (3) major repairs, (4) share-based payments, and (5) the change in fair value of derivative instruments. These metrics are subject to certain limitations. See "Financial Overview—Adjusted EBITDA" and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net income (loss) below.

(b) Average equipment on rent is the average original equipment cost of units on rent during the period. The measure provides a value dimension to the fleet utilization statistics. This metric has been adjusted to exclude Mexico, which the Company commenced exit activities in the third quarter of 2019.

(c) Average fleet utilization for the period is calculated as the total number of invoiced days divided by the total number of available equipment days. This metric has been adjusted to exclude Mexico, which the Company commenced exit activities in the third quarter of 2019.

(d) Average rental rate per day for the period is calculated as total rental revenue excluding freight and damaged billings divided by the total rental days, which represents the number of billable days in the period aggregated across all units in the fleet. This metric has been adjusted to exclude Mexico, which the Company commenced exit activities in the third quarter of 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $4.3 million, or 14.1%, to $26.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. This decrease can be attributed to a combination of a $1.6 million decline in gross profit, excluding depreciation of $19.7 million, as well as the aforementioned increase in operating expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2.7 million, or 4.4%, to $58.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. This decrease is primarily due to the aforementioned increase in operating expenses, offset by a $2.9 million increase in gross profit, excluding depreciation of $39.8 million.

The following is a reconciliation from U.S. GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Notes to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA reconciliations:

(1) Represents the non-cash impact of purchase accounting, net of accumulated depreciation, on the cost of equipment sold. The equipment acquired received a purchase step-up in basis, which is a non-cash adjustment to the equipment cost pursuant to our credit agreement.

(2) 2020: Represents transaction costs related to Nesco’s acquisition of Truck Utilities (which include post-acquisition integration expenses incurred during the current quarterly and six month periods); 2019: Represents transaction expenses related to merger activities associated with the transaction with Capitol that was consummated on July 31, 2019. These expenses are comprised of professional consultancy, legal, tax and accounting fees. Also included are costs of startup activities (which include training, travel, and process setup costs) associated with the rollout of new PTA locations that occurred throughout the prior year into the current periods. Finally, the expenses associated with the Company's closure of its Mexican operations, which closure activities commenced in the third quarter of 2019, are included for the current quarterly and six month periods. Pursuant to Nesco’s credit agreement, the cost of undertakings to affect such cost savings, operating expense reductions and other synergies, as well as any expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions, are amounts to be included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

(3) Represents the undepreciated cost of replaced vehicle chassis and components from heavy maintenance, repair and overhaul activities associated with our fleet, which is an adjustment pursuant to our credit agreement.

(4) Represents non-cash stock compensation expense associated with the issuance of stock options and restricted stock units.

(5) Represents the charge to earnings for our interest rate collar (which is an undesignated hedge) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Equipment on Rent. Average equipment on rent was $461.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $3.6 million or 0.8% over the same period in 2019. The decrease is primarily due to COVID-19 related customer project delays.

Average equipment on rent for the six months ended June 20, 2020 was $480.4 million up from $458.4 million for the same period in 2019. The increase is due to fleet investments made in 2019 and continued demand from customers during the first quarter, offset by project delays related to COVID-19 in the second quarter.

Fleet Count. Average fleet count was 4,615 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of 529 units from an average fleet count of 4,086 over the same period in 2019. Average fleet count for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 4,621, an increase of 621 from an average fleet count of 4,000 over the same period in 2019. Bucket trucks represented the largest category of our year over year capital expenditures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, driven by strong demand in 2019 and the first quarter of 2020 that has been offset by project delays resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fleet Utilization. Fleet utilization was 71.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 80.2% the same period of 2019. Fleet utilization was 73.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 81.1% the same period of 2019. The decrease in both periods is primarily due to COVID-19 related customer project delays.

Rental Rate Per Day. Average rental rate per day was $136.71 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a slight increase from $136.67 for the same period in 2019. Average rental rate per day was $137.26 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a 0.1% increase from $137.06 for the same period in 2019. Consolidated rate remained steady year over year.

Fleet Age. We use fleet age by type to assist in our decision to sell and purchase a particular fleet category to ensure our fleet age remains competitive. Our overall average fleet age was 3.7 as of June 30, 2020, compared to 3.7 years at June 30, 2019. We believe the current age of our fleet is young and gives us flexibility from a capital allocation and sales perspective.

Fleet Composition. We own a diverse selection of equipment in order to meet the needs of our customers. Bucket trucks, digger derricks, line equipment and rail-mounted equipment make up a significant percentage of our fleet portfolio. We also carry cranes, pressure diggers, underground equipment, and other miscellaneous fleet items, making us a full service specialty equipment provider. All of our equipment is available for rent and our used equipment sales and new equipment purchases are partially driven by our desire to keep an optimal product mix and maintain a competitive fleet age.

The OEC of our ERS fleet was $640.4 million as of June 30, 2020, a $3.1 million, or 0.5%, increase from $637.3 million at December 31, 2019.

Operating Results by Segment - Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

The Company manages its operations through two business segments: rental and sale of fleet and equipment along with repair and maintenance related to those assets (ERS), and the rental and sale of parts, tools, and accessories (PTA).

Total Revenues. Revenue in our ERS segment represented 78.0%. and 85.4% of our consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. ERS segment revenue decreased by $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Rental revenue decreased $1.8 million primarily as a result of COVID-19 project delays. Sales of rental and new equipment, which can vary from quarter to quarter, increased $1.6 million.

ERS segment revenue increased by $10.8 million or 10.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period last year. Rental revenue increased by $2.3 million over the prior period driven by end-market demand in the first quarter and offset by pandemic-related project delays in the second quarter. New equipment sales increased by $6.2 million, or 90.3%, compared to the same period in 2019. Used equipment sales increased by $2.3 million due in part to dispose of aged units.

Cost of Revenue. The $2.0 million increase in cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior year is primarily due to increased service costs on units coming off rent as well as costs related to increased sales of rental and new equipment.

Cost of revenue increased by $10.7 million year over year for the six months ending June 30, 2020, primarily due to a $7.4 million increase in cost of sales of new and rental equipment.

Depreciation. Depreciation of our rental fleet increased by $2.7 million and $6.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to growth in fleet count.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2020, excluding depreciation of $18.6 million, decreased by $2.2 million compared to the same period in 2019 due primarily to a reduction in high margin rental revenue.

Gross profit for the six months ending June 30, 2020, excluding depreciation of $37.5 million decreased by $0.2 million in the first half of 2020 compared to the first half of 2019.

Total Revenues. PTA segment revenue increased $5.9 million or 64.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to same period in 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 PTA segment revenue increased by $15.1 million, or 83.5%. The increase in revenue is primarily due to the acquisition of Truck Utilities. The PTA segment would have grown more but experienced headwinds from COVID-19 social distancing measures in the last part of the first quarter and throughout the second quarter as a result of new project delays.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue in the PTA segment increased $5.3 million and $12.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. as a direct result of the increase in parts sales volume, as well as the expansion of operations from two PTA locations to seven over the course of 2019 with an eighth location partially opening during the second quarter of 2020.

Gross Profit. PTA gross profit, excluding $1.1 million of depreciation, increased $0.7 million, or 19.9%, and $2.7 million, or 41.3%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019. The increase in gross profit is driven by higher revenue in the segment, offset by a mix shift to lower margin parts sales and service revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historical Liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity include cash generated by operating activities and borrowings under our 2019 Credit Facility. We believe that our liquidity sources and operating cash flows are sufficient to address our operating, debt service and capital requirements over the next twelve months, however, we are continuing to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the financial markets. We have proactively reduced our planned 2020 net capital expenditures (which we define to be purchases of rental and other property and equipment, net of proceeds from disposals of such assets) to help manage liquidity and optimize utilization. As of June 30, 2020, we had $5.3 million in cash compared to $6.3 million as of December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, we had $268.5 million of outstanding borrowings under our 2019 Credit Facility with an additional $78.3 million in availability (subject to a borrowing base) compared to $250.0 million of outstanding borrowing under the 2019 Credit Facility as of December 31, 2019.

2019 Credit Facility

On July 31, 2019, we entered into the 2019 Credit Facility, which provides us with $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of commitments pursuant to a first lien senior secured asset based revolving credit facility. On March 10, 2020, we entered into an agreement (the “Incremental Agreement”) that amended the syndicate of banks for a new participant that increased the maximum amount of the 2019 Credit Facility by $35.0 million to a total of $385.0 million.

The new 2019 Credit Facility has a five-year term and a floating rate of interest based on either the federal funds rate plus a margin ranging between 50 and 100 basis points or LIBOR plus a margin ranging between 150 and 200 basis points, in each case, depending on excess availability under the facility. Our availability under the 2019 Credit Facility is a percentage of the value of our accounts receivable, our parts inventory, our fleet inventory, and our cash, in each case, subject to certain eligibility criteria and periodic collateral evaluations. A portion of the 2019 Credit Facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit. The 2019 Credit Facility is guaranteed by our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions, and is secured by substantially all of our assets and the guarantors. We can reduce the aggregate commitments under the 2019 Credit Facility without premium or penalty. The 2019 Credit Facility contains covenants which, among other things, limit the occurrence of additional indebtedness (including acquired indebtedness), issuance of certain preferred stock, the payment of dividends, making restricted payments and investments, the purchase or acquisition or retirement for value of any equity interests, the provision of loans or advances to restricted subsidiaries, the sale or lease or transfer of any properties to any restricted subsidiaries, the transfer or sale of assets, and the creation of certain liens. In addition, the 2019 Credit Facility requires the Company to comply with a financial maintenance covenant requiring the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00; provided that this covenant shall only be tested if availability under the 2019 Credit Facility is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the Line Cap and (ii) $30 million, and shall be tested until availability is no longer less than such amounts for 20 consecutive calendar days.

Senior Secured Notes due 2024

In connection with the closing of the merger and related transactions, on July 31, 2019 we completed a private offering for Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2024 (the "Senior Secured Notes") issued by Capitol Investment Merger Sub 2, LLC, our wholly owned and indirect subsidiary (the "Issuer"). The aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes was $475.0 million. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum payable semi-annually, in cash in arrears, on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2020. The Senior Secured Notes do not have registration rights.

A summary of the key provisions are as follows:

Guarantors - The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) by Capitol Intermediate Holdings, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary ("Holdings") and the wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of the Issuer (together, "Guarantors") that guarantee obligations under the 2019 Credit Facility or any future debt of Nesco or any other Guarantors.

Security - The Senior Secured Notes and the Guarantees are secured on a second-priority basis by all of our assets and the Guarantors that secure our obligations under the 2019 Credit Facility.

Ranking - The Senior Secured Notes and the Guarantees are general senior secured obligations. The Senior Secured Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior debt and rank senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated obligations. The Guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of the Guarantors’ existing and future senior obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Guarantors’ existing and future subordinated obligations. The Senior Secured Notes and the Guarantees rank effectively subordinated to all of the Guarantors’ and our first-priority secured debt, including borrowings under the 2019 Credit Facility.

Redemption and Repurchase - The Senior Secured Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after the Closing Date at specified redemption prices. At any time prior to August 1, 2021, we may redeem all or part of the notes at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount, plus an applicable premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. We may also redeem some or all of the notes: from August 1, 2021, but before July 31, 2022, at a redemption price of 105.0% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date; from August 1, 2022, but before July 31, 2023, at a redemption price of 102.5% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date; and after August 1, 2023, at a redemption price of 100.0% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, we may redeem up to 40.0% of the Senior Secured Notes until August 1, 2021, at a redemption price of 110.0% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds from one or more equity offerings. In addition, we may be required to make an offer to purchase the Senior Secured Notes upon the sale of certain assets and upon a change of control.

Covenants - The Senior Secured Notes contain various restrictive covenants.

As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all of the covenants and other provisions of the 2019 Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes disclosed above. Any failure to be in compliance with any material provision or covenant of these agreements could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and operations.

Due to the condition and relatively young age of our fleet, we have the ability to significantly reduce or suspend capital expenditures during difficult economic times, to generate additional cash flow during these periods. We believe that cash generated by our rental operations and cash received from the sale of equipment, as well as funds available under the 2019 Credit Facility will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs for the foreseeable future. To the extent additional funds are necessary to meet our long-term liquidity needs as we continue to execute our business strategy, we anticipate that they will be obtained through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of funds. Our ability to meet our operating, investing and financing needs depends to a significant extent on our future financial performance, which will be subject in part to general economic, competitive, financial, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. In addition to these general economic and industry factors, the principal factors in determining whether our cash flows will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements will be changes in governmental regulations for the electric utility transmission and distribution industry, weather, and our customers’ ability to secure materials. In the event that we need access to additional cash, we may not be able to access the credit markets on commercially acceptable terms or at all. We expect to continually assess our performance, the economic environment and market conditions to guide our decisions regarding our uses of cash, including capital expenditures.

We may, from time to time, refinance, reprice, extend, retire or otherwise modify our outstanding debt to lower our interest payments, reduce our debt or otherwise improve our financial position. These actions may include repricing amendments, extensions, and/or opportunistic refinancing of debt. The amount of debt that may be refinanced, re-priced, extended, retired or otherwise modified, if any, will depend on market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our cash position, compliance with debt covenants and other considerations.

Historical Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in $000s)	2020		2019
Net cash flow from operating activities	$	19,669	$	5,177
Net cash flow from investing activities	(35,227)		(35,775)
Net cash flow from financing activities	14,556		31,042
Net change in cash	$	(1,002)	$	444

As of June 30, 2020, we had cash of $5.3 million, a decrease of $1.0 million from December 31, 2019. Generally, we manage our cash flow by using any excess cash, after considering our working capital and capital expenditure needs, to pay down the outstanding balance under our 2019 credit facility.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $5.2 million in same period of 2019. The increase in cash from operations was driven by prudent working capital management.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $35.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $35.8 million in 2019. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities is primarily due to decreased property and equipment investments, increased proceeds from the sale of rental equipment and parts and from increased insurance recoveries, partially offset by increased investments in rental equipment during the first quarter.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $14.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $31.0 million in 2019. The decrease is primarily due to borrowings, net of repayments, on the revolving credit facility decreasing by $15.5 million as our cash from operating activities improved.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets, or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any nonfinancial assets.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest rate risk

We are subject to interest rate market risk in connection with our long-term debt. Our principal interest rate exposure relates to outstanding amounts under the 2019 Credit Facility, which provides for variable rate borrowings of up to $385.0 million, subject to a borrowing base. Interest rate changes generally impact the amount of our interest payments and, therefore, our future net income and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. Assuming the 2019 Credit Facility is fully drawn, each one-eighth percentage point increase or decrease in the applicable interest rates would correspondingly change our interest expense on the 2019 Credit Facility by approximately $0.3 million per year. As of June 30, 2020, we had $268.5 million of outstanding borrowings against the 2019 Credit Facility.

We manage a portion of our risks from exposures to fluctuations in interest rates as part of our risk management program through the use of derivative financial instruments. The objective of controlling these risks is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flows caused by fluctuations, our primary exposure is from our variable-rate debt. We currently have an interest rate collar agreement in place as a hedge against fluctuations in the required interest payments due on our 2019 Credit Facility. All of our derivative activities are for purposes other than trading.

Fair values of our derivatives can change significantly from period to period based on, among other factors, market movements and changes in our positions. We manage counterparty credit risk (the risk that counterparties will default and not make payments to us according to the terms of our standard master agreements) on an individual counterparty basis.

Our interest rate collar contract (currently our only derivative contract) was executed under a standard master agreement that contains a cross-default provision to our borrowing agreement with the counterparty, which provides the ability of the counterparty to terminate the interest rate collar agreement upon an event of default under the borrowing agreement.

Exchange rate risk

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we generated $1.0 million and $1.1 million of U.S. dollar denominated revenues in Canadian dollars and Mexican pesos, respectively. Each 100 basis point increase or decrease in the average Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate or Mexican peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate for the year would have correspondingly changed our revenues by less than $0.1 million. We do not currently hedge our exchange rate exposure.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("the Exchange Act"). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2020, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, we are involved in a variety of lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings. In our opinion, pending legal matters are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our Quarterly Report three months ended March 31, 2020. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.
