(1) The year-over-year decrease in net income margin primarily reflects the impact of the Ahern Rentals acquisition in 2022.
Note: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Net income margin and adjusted EBITDA margin represent net income or adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. See the tables
provided elsewhere in this presentation for adjusted EBITDA reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures. Note: 2017 net income margin excludes one-time benefit from the
Tax Act.
