For the three months to 30 September 2020, the Group delivered total revenues of €335 million, up 29% versus the prior year including acquisitions. Prior to acquisitions, total revenue grew by €17 million (6.5%) driven by both growth in modular space leasing and sales.

Organic revenue per unit grew by 5.6% and by 10% including acquisitions. Organic EBITDA increased 11% (€8m) driven by continued progress against the Group’s strategic objectives. Including M&A EBITDA grew 34% to €101m, as the integration of recent acquisitions continues to progress well. Cash conversion remained strong at 53% the year to date, with growth capex deferred from the second quarter, and 82% before growth capex.

Net leverage at the period end was 5.1x on a pro forma basis and has reduced during 2020. The liquidity position remains strong with €259 million of cash on the balance sheet at 30 September alongside €105 million ABL availability and a further €103 million held outside the Restricted Group.

The Group continues to have positive momentum across its four strategic objectives through an efficient cost base, a focus on optimising sales and granular management of branch level performance, effective capital investment and a targeted acquisition strategy.
