Q2 2021 Consolidated Performance Overview

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020, we transitioned all our traditional live on site auctions to online bidding utilizing our existing online bidding technology and simultaneously ceased all public attendance at our live auction theaters. Our core online auction channels (IronPlanet.com, GovPlanet.com, Marketplace-E) continued to operate as usual.

Total GTV increased 2% to $1.5 billion and decreased 3% when excluding the impact of foreign exchange in Q2 2021. GTV volumes grew primarily in International and Canada, offset by lower volume in the US. All regions continued to experience very strong mix adjusted auction price performance due to high demand for used equipment, in part aided by our digital marketing efforts. However, despite higher mix adjusted pricing, we experienced headwinds due to negative mix impacts driven in part by older aged equipment in the transportation and construction sectors. This combined with auction calendar shifts of $52 million from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that were shifted from Q1 into Q2 2020 that did not repeat in Q2 2021 led to lower GTV. Total GTV increased in International driven by an improved economic climate, the benefit from the use of new satellite yards in France, Germany and Australia coupled with a favourable foreign exchange impact, partially offset by the auction shift of Caorso, Italy. Total GTV also increased in Canada which benefited from a favourable foreign exchange impact, higher performance at our Toronto auction, an increased volume from RBFS providing escrow services for private brokered transactions, offset by lower overall volumes in Edmonton and Grand Prairie as well as the shift of our Montreal auction. Total GTV volumes decreased in the US due to the shift of our Los Angeles auction, lower activity due to supply constraints mainly in our Fort Worth auction and Denver regional combined events and the non-repeat of a large supply contract. In addition, lower volumes in our US strategic accounts in the finance, original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and transportation sectors also contributed to lower GTV, partially offset by positive online performance.

Total revenue increased 2% to $396.4 million in Q2 2021, with total service revenue increasing by 8%, offset by a decrease in inventory sales revenue by 7%.

Service revenue increased 8% with fees revenue increasing 14% and commissions revenue increasing 3%. Fee revenue was up 14% mainly due to fee revenue from the acquisition of Rouse, and the continued growth in RBFS fee revenue. Fees revenue also increased due to the revised global buyer fee structure implemented on May 1, 2021 and the re-instatement of fees at the Canadian on-the-farm auctions which were waived in Q2 as part of our COVID-19 pandemic response. These increases were partially offset by lower ancillary revenue mainly due to lower fees earned on refurbishment, transportation and redeployment of assets in the US. Commissions revenue was up 3%, in line with the higher service GTV of 3%.

Inventory sales revenue decreased 7% representing a lower mix of volumes of inventory contracts, partially offset by higher pricing, primarily in the US and Canada. These decreases were partially offset by strong year-over-year performance in our International region primarily driven by increased sales in Australia, and in the Middle East benefiting from overall improved economic conditions

from the recovery of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, we saw increased volumes sold through our GovPlanet business as a result of the new non-rolling and rolling stock contracts effective June 1, 2021 and higher volumes due to the government shutdowns in prior year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Costs of services decreased 1% to $39.0 million. This decrease was primarily driven by lower activity in line with lower GTV in the US, lower ancillary and logistical service expenses, in line with the decrease in ancillary fees earned on refurbishment, transportation and redeployment of assets in the US. These decreases were partially offset by higher costs incurred to support the increased activity in our GovPlanet business, incremental costs to introduce the new satellite yards in Europe and the second full quarter of costs of services incurred from Rouse since acquisition.

Cost of inventory decreased 8% to $131.0 million, primarily in line with lower inventory sales revenue. Cost of inventory sold decreased at a higher rate than the decrease of inventory sales revenue, indicating a slight increase in the revenue rates primarily in our GovPlanet business and US region, partially offset by the International region.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased 11% to $111.8 million primarily due to an unfavourable impact of foreign exchange fluctuation, higher wages, salaries and benefit expenses driven by higher headcount to support our growth initiatives and a second full quarter of costs incurred from Rouse since acquisition. We also incurred higher travel, advertising and promotion expenses to promote our global digital marketing efforts, and increased travel activity due to the lifting of border and quarantine restrictions. These increases were partially offset by lower short-term and long-term incentive costs including the non-repeat of a prior year one-time incentive accrual to employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Foreign exchange had a favourable impact on total revenue and an unfavourable impact on expenses. These impacts were primarily due to the fluctuations in the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and the Euro exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar.

Net income attributable to stockholders increased 15% to $60.7 million primarily related to the decrease in effective tax rate following a $6.2 million income tax expense recognized in Q2 2020 relating to an unfavourable adjustment to reflect final regulations published regarding hybrid financing arrangements, and slightly higher operating income. Adjusted net income attributed to stockholders* increased 2% to $60.7 million in Q2 2021 compared to $59.3 million in Q2 2020.

Primarily for the same reasons noted above, diluted EPS attributable to stockholders increased 12% to $0.55 per share for Q2 2021 from $0.49 per share in Q2 2020. Diluted adjusted EPS attributable to stockholders* increased 2% to $0.55 per share in Q2 2021.

Non-GAAP Measures

This news release references to non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning and are, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Non-GAAP financial measures referred to in this report are labeled as “non-GAAP measure” or designated as such with an asterisk (*).

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Stockholders* and Diluted Adjusted EPS Attributable to Stockholders* Reconciliation
The Company believes that adjusted net income attributable to stockholders* provides useful information about the growth or decline of the net income attributable to stockholders for the relevant financial period and eliminates the financial impact of adjusting items the Company does not consider to be part of the normal operating results. Diluted Adjusted EPS attributable to stockholders* eliminates the financial impact of adjusting items which are after-tax effects of significant non-recurring items that the Company does not consider to be part of the normal operating results, such as acquisition-related costs, management reorganization costs, and certain other items, which the Company refers to as ‘adjusting items’.

The following table reconciles adjusted net income attributable to stockholders* and diluted adjusted EPS attributable to stockholders* to net income attributable to stockholders and diluted EPS attributable to stockholders, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the consolidated income statements.
