Thank you, Ryan. Good evening everyone and thank you for your interest in Alta Equipment Group and our fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results. Before I start, I first want to thank all of my Alta teammates for their hard work and dedication to our business and our customers in what was a unique 2024. More importantly, thank you for your commitment to one another in concert with Alta's guiding principles. My remarks today will focus on four key areas. First, I'll briefly present our fourth quarter results. Second, I'll present and comment on our full year 2024 results, focusing on key themes and the factors that led to the year-on-year reduction in EBITDA. Third, I'll provide guidance for 2025 adjusted EBITDA and discuss the assumptions that underpin the annual guide. Lastly, I'll be reiterating our cash flow profile, specifically resetting for investors why our rent to sell business model allows us to cash flow throughout the cycle as the 2023 and 2024 comparative is indicative of that theme. Before I get to my talking points, it should be noted that I'll be referencing slides from our investor presentation throughout the call today. I'd encourage everyone on today's call to review our presentation in our 10K, which is available on our investor relations
[email protected]. With that said, for the first portion of my prepared remarks and as presented in slides 10 to 12 in the earnings deck, fourth quarter performance. For the quarter, the company recorded revenue of $498.1 million, underpinned by a notable $69 million sequential increase in equipment sales when compared to Q3, indicative of a return to the equipment markets by our customer base post-election. While this increase was a welcome relief from the first three quarters of the year, gross margins on equipment sales were weak as the overhang of supply in the markets continue to pressure pricing in Q4. Additionally, given the uptick in demand in Q4, we made prudent inventory decisions to ultimately relieve the balance sheet by taking lesser than average margins on certain on a certain subsection of the used equipment, something that we don't expect to reoccur going forward. While the equipment sales lines outperformed our expectations, part service and rental revenues underperformed for the quarter as rental equipment in the north came back into our yards earlier than expected, driven by the mild fall weather which allowed contractors to finish jobs on time and before the snow flew. Additionally, given the increase in equipment demand for the quarter, we made strategic decisions to offload rental fleet primarily in our rent to sell product categories in our construction segment whereby we sold equipment to customers that were renting the units, which ultimately put pressure on rental revenues and EBITDA for the quarter. Lastly, on revenue, as mentioned, our product support departments underperformed in the quarter, which we believe to be more of a timing issue than anything structurally wrong in our business as the midweek holiday schedule impacted PTO for our technicians and for our customers more acutely than in previous years, ultimately leading to reduced work days in the quarter when compared to years past. On the cost line, expense optimization initiatives that started earlier in the year began to take hold as investors should take note of the sequential reduction in SG&A expenses realized in Q4. On a run rate basis, our calculations suggest these cost optimization efforts have yielded approximately $8 million on an annual basis. In summary, we recorded $40.7 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter. Now turning to our full fiscal year 2024 financial results. The company recorded $1.88 billion in revenue in 2024, effectively flat when compared with 2023 revenue. On the adjusted EBITDA line, the company achieved $168.3 million for the year when compared to $201 million pro forma adjusted EBITDA in 2023, effectively creating an estimated $33 million gap between 2023 and 2024. When we look back at the anatomy of that gap, the explanation is fairly simple; one, given 2024 market conditions previously noted, we didn't sell as much equipment in 2024 when compared to 2023, with the issue most acutely present in our construction and master distribution segments. All told, a reduction of approximately $100 million from pro forma levels from the pro forma levels of 2023 in new equipment, new and used equipment volumes impacted EBITDA by roughly $13 million. Number two, given the supply overhang in the equipment markets and the competitive environment for deals, gross margins on equipment volumes we were able to execute on were compressed year-over-year, and that margin compression on new and used equipment impacted the EBITDA line roughly $24 million in 2024. These two factors totaling $37 million were offset by previously mentioned cost optimization efforts as well as variable cost relief on lower sales volume, which totaled approximately $7 million for the year. To conclude, the reduction of our 2024 adjusted EBITDA was almost exclusively related to the supply demand dynamics and the macro factors that were at play in the construction equipment markets this year, and we are proud of how the business reacted to these factors. A quick check in on the balance sheet as of year-end and as depicted on Slide 15, we ended the quarter with approximately $330 million of cash and availability on a revolving line of credit facility. Certainly a comfortable amount of liquidity to navigate any business climate that may be ahead of us. Last point on 2024, as it relates to the balance sheet and optimization efforts, I want to point investors to Slide 19 and note that at the end of Q2, when we realized that we were in a different demand environment than what we had planned for, we outlined for investors that we expected to reduce the size of the fleet by $40 million to $50 million and delever the balance sheet as much as possible by year-end. I'm pleased to report mission accomplished. And as noted on slide 19, we were able to flex our fleet by $45 million, which was the primary factor, and is paying down funded debt by $61 million in the second half of 2024. I'll provide more detail on how we were able to accomplish this when I present our cash flow model momentarily. Moving on to the third portion of my prepared remarks 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance, which was included in today's earnings release. In terms of the guidance range itself, we expect to report $175 million to $190 million of adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2025. A few observations on the guide, and I'd like to point investors to the bridge provided on slide 20 of our presentation, which presents the path as we see it from our 2024 adjusted EBITDA to the midpoint of the 2025 guide. First, I should point out that the guide does not have any aggressive assumptions on equipment sales growth, specifically in the construction segment. That said, between better volumes in our material handling and master distribution segments, expanded gross margins overall, we have calculated this positive impact to EBITDA at $7 million. Investors should keep in mind that 100 basis points of gross margin on a billion dollars of equipment net of direct selling costs is approximately $7 million of incremental EBITDA for Alta. Second, we expect to drive organic growth in product support revenues much like we've done historically and more notably we expect to be more efficient in product support in 2025. Our confidence here is based on technician productivity efforts that began in 2024 which will yield less non billable time and better profitability in 2025. Between these two items, we expect an incremental $9 million of EBITDA coming from product support. Third, as mentioned previously, we believe that the cost out initiatives implemented in 2024 yielded an $8 million run rate in savings. Estimating that we realized half of those savings in 2024, this leads the other half or $4 million to be realized in 2025. Fourth, when it comes to rental, our growth expectations here are minimal as we look to drive physical utilization year-over-year versus getting aggressive on any rate increase assumptions or on the size of the fleet. Lastly, we have general inflationary type costs on our impacts in our cost structure each year associated with raises for employees, increases in employee benefits and other selling expenses which are a headwind to the aforementioned positive factors influencing EBITDA. I would caveat that all the factors predispose a generally supportive macro environment which seems to be changing daily and to the extent that to the extent more than typical macro dislocations occur, some of our assumptions may prove false. To summarize, we remain confident in our business model and in our long-term prospects and the team at Alta is committed to the execution of this plan and getting the business back to a more profitable growth path in 2025. Moving on to the last portion of my prepared remarks, I'd like to focus investors on slides 13 and 14 from today's earnings presentation which presents Alta's cash flow performance in 2023 and 2024. As an introduction to the slides in the five years of being a public company, one of the items that I spend more time dealing and discussing with investors is Alta's cash flow profile, especially as it relates to our Rent to Sell business model, which is admittedly unique and requires a second level understanding. Slides 13 and 14 aim to help equity and debt investors alike with this understanding and presents the rent-to-sell model in a more simplistic way than previous iterations. First, slide 13 which provides the definitional foundation of rent to rent fleet versus rent-to-sell equipment. As noted on the slide, rent-to-rent is treated and invested in via maintenance capex like a traditional fixed asset. Notably, rent-to-rent fleet is meant to be held or the long-term and the return on investment in the rent-to-rent fleet will come via the rental stream on that fleet over many years. As opposed to rent-to-rent, rent-to-sell equipment should be viewed more like an analyst would view general inventory as it might be temporary or as it is meant to be a temporary or short term investment in equipment to take advantage of market demand for lightly used heavy construction equipment. The return on investment on rent-to-sell fleet similar to new equipment is primarily made through the ultimate sale of the equipment versus the rental stream earned on the equipment during its time on our balance sheet. Most importantly, like inventory, minimal to no maintenance CapEx is required on the rent-to-sell fleet. Lastly, on slide 13 you will note the variation of the rent-to-sell equipment levels in 2023 versus 2024. Important to note that in 2023 we are planning for a strong 2024 which ultimately was not the case. Said differently, in 2023 we fleeted up for a certain level of demand we were experiencing and expecting to continue in 2024. But in the midst of 2024 when it was clear that demand levels were lower than what we had planned for, we prudently reacted and reduced our rent to sell equipment efficiently and profitably. Overall, the juxtaposition that was 2023 versus 2024 presented on slide 13 is a great example of the flexibility of our rent to sell business model. Moving on to slide 14 which presents an updated way for investors to serve our cash flow performance in a simplistic manner. The first layer of the analysis is to isolate free cash flow prior to rent to sell or RTS decisioning which allows us to remove the complexity with the rent to sell equipment from the analysis. Now walking down the analysis on slide 14, first you will note that the analysis starts with our traditional adjusted EBITDA calculation but has additional non cash add backs that come directly from our cash flow statement. This adjusted EBITDA is then reduced for the gain loss on the sale of rent-to-sell fleet, a figure that comes directly from our construction segment financial. Next we burden the calculation for net PPE and e-CapEx needed for traditional operational fixed costs and cash taxes, two items that must be attended to annually. Going down the slide, next we burden for pro forma maintenance CapEx associated with the rent-to-rent fleet which again is treated as a traditional fixed asset. This first layer of the calculation ultimately yields free cash flow prior to rent-to-sell decisioning. Next, we bring in the rent-to-sell cash activity for the year, which is presented in a simple cash in and cash out manner, all sourced directly from our GAAP financials. Note that as previously discussed on slide 13, in 2023 we made the decision to fleet up which depressed free cash flow after rent to sell decisioning while the flexing down of the fleet in 2024 allowed us to drive free cash flow after rent to sell decisioning in 2024. As you will note, we had a better free cash flow performance in 2024 versus 23 despite the notable reduction in EBITDA year-over-year. In the end, free cash flow after rent to sell decisioning is what is left before we service debt and make other capital allocation decisions. To conclude the presentation of the slide, we bring in cash interest to provide a coverage ratio that you will note has been nearly two times in each of the past two years, a comfortable level on that ratio. In summary, free cash flow after rent-to-sell decisioning produced in each of the past two years, which encompass two extremely different operating environments. The company -- you can see that the company has plenty of cash flows to service its current debt levels and still have additional cash flow to allocate elsewhere. Finally, I would note that the average cash flow available for equity investors in 2023-2024 was approximately $45 million, which means that recent trading levels in the stock would suggest that ALTG Common is trading at a 30% free cash flow yield and below one turn of EBITDA. Last point on slide 14 is that this analysis is fully reconcilable to our GAAP based financials statement. Our GAAP based statement of cash flows and that reconciliation is available in Appendix B of our earnings presentation, which I encourage investors to digest and inquire on to fully understand Alta's cash flow and financial profile as the uniqueness of our business model and GAAP requirements can sometimes be difficult to navigate in term in determining the business's true cash flow capability. In closing again, I want to thank my teammates at Alta for your commitment to our business and to each other throughout 2024, you embodied our guiding principles in a challenging environment and I'm proud of all of your efforts. To our shareholders, we appreciate your confidence and look forward to driving shareholder value in 2025. Thank you for your time and I will turn it back over to the operator for Q&A.
