Recent Business Highlights:
- On March 1, 2021, Alta acquired the assets of ScottTech, a material handling, warehouse control software, and turnkey warehouse system integration provider. The addition of ScottTech provides synergies with PeakLogix and significantly expands Alta’s capabilities with customers in the warehouse, logistics, and e-commerce markets.
- The company refinanced its capital structure via the completion of an offering of $315 million worth of 5.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes on April 1, 2021. The capital raise fully repaid its 9.80% variable rate second lien term loan, created $280 million of credit line availability, and reduced the company’s cost of debt, providing the financial structure to support the execution of its growth strategy.
- Product support revenue, which includes parts and service sales, grew 36.0% year over year in the first quarter of 2021 providing an ongoing higher-margin, recurring revenue stream.
Full Year Financial Guidance:
Alta expects to report Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $110 million to $115 million, net of new equipment floorplan interest, for the full year 2021. At the midpoint, this represents a 35.5% increase over $83.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA in 2020.
