Q3 2020 Consolidated Performance Overview
In response to COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in March 2020, the Company 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 action theaters. Our core online auction channels (IronPlanet.com, GovPlanet.com, Marketplace-E) continued to operate as usual.
GTV increased 22% to $1.3 billion in Q3 2020 with total GTV increasing across all our regions. The increase was primarily in the US due to strong execution of the strategic accounts and regional sales teams driving year-over-year positive growth at both our live and online auctions. The International sales team also delivered higher GTV results as earlier lockdown measures lifted and border restrictions eased in Europe, as well as a higher level of private treaty deals in Australia. Total GTV increased in Canada mainly due to positive year-over-year live auction performance, and auction calendar shifts.
Total revenue increased 14% to $331.5 million in Q3 2020.
Service revenue increased 25% with commissions revenue increasing 24% and fees revenue increasing 25%. Fees revenue was up 25% driven by higher fees from total GTV which was up 22%. We also had positive performance in Ancillary as we earned more fees from refurbishing and transporting sellers' equipment driven by greater GTV activity in the US. Fees also grew due to RBFS as well as higher buyer fees on more favorable mix. Commissions revenue increased 24%, primarily in line with the increase in Service GTV.
Inventory sales revenue decreased 2% representing lower inventory sales volume. The lower sales volume was offset by strong year-over-year improvement in the inventory sales margin rate performance in the US and Canada. The decrease in the inventory volume was attributable to lower government surplus contracts in the US due to COVID-19 related government shutdowns and the shift of the Canadian Grand Prairie auction to Q4 2020. Partially offsetting these decreases was positive volume growth in International as border restrictions eased in Europe during Q3 2020 together with large private treaty deals in Australia.
Costs of services increased 8% to $39.2 million primarily driven by the 25% increase in Service GTV, offset by significant cost reductions in employee compensation, and travel, advertising and promotion as a result of our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our response included transitioning our live on site auctions to online bidding, utilizing TAL solutions for selected International and on-the-farm agricultural events, and implementing travel restrictions. We also incurred higher ancillary and logistical service expenses, in line with the increase in ancillary fees earned from refurbishing and transporting sellers' equipment driven by higher GTV volume in the US.
Cost of inventory decreased 6% to $96.3 million, primarily in line with lower activity in inventory sales revenue. Cost of inventory sold decreased at a higher rate than the decrease of inventory sales revenue, indicating an increase in the revenue margin. The margin improved due to rate improvement in US and Canada.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased 18% to $110.2 million primarily due to $8.8 million higher short-term and long-term incentive expenses driven by strong performance, higher headcount to support our growth initiatives, and a one-time $4.3 million severance costs related to the realignment of leadership to support the new global operations organization, in line with strategic growth priorities led by the new CEO. These increases were partially offset by lower SG&A expenses related to lower travel, advertising, and promotion costs as we implemented travel restrictions.
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 Euro and Australian dollar exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar.
Net income attributable to stockholders increased 80% to $45.4 million, primarily related to the higher operating income, lower interest expense, and partially offset by the increase in the effective tax rate.
Primarily for the same reasons noted above, diluted EPS attributable to stockholders increased 78% to $0.41 per share for Q3 2020 from $0.23 per share in Q3 2019. Diluted adjusted EPS attributable to stockholders* increased 91% to $0.44 per share in Q3 2020, after excluding $4.3 million of severance costs ($3.2 million net of tax).

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.
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.
(in U.S. $000's, except share and per share data, and percentages) Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, % Change % Change 2020 2019 2020 over 2019 2020 2019 2020 over 2019 Net income attributable to stockholders $ 45,387 $ 25,266 80 $ 121,239 $ 97,466 24 % % Pre-tax adjusting items: Severance 4,283 100 4,283 100 % % Current income tax effect of adjusting items: Severance (1,065) (100) (1,065) (100) % % Current income tax adjusting item: Change in uncertain tax provision % 766 100 % Deferred tax adjusting item: Change in uncertain tax provision % 5,462 100 % --- Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders* $ 48,605 $ 25,266 92 $ 130,685 $ 97,466 34 % % --- Weighted average number of dilutive shares outstanding 110,369,718 109,381,173 1 110,060,712 109,634,195 0 % % --- Diluted earnings per share attributable to stockholders $ 0.41 $ 0.23 78 $ 1.10 $ 0.89 24 % % Diluted adjusted EPS attributable to Stockholders* $ 0.44 $ 0.23 91 $ 1.19 $ 0.89 34 % % ===
(1) Please refer to page 11 for a summary of adjusting items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. (2) Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders* represents net income attributable to stockholders excluding the effects of adjusting items. (3) Diluted adjusted EPS attributable to stockholders* is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to stockholders*, net of the effect of dilutive securities, by the weighted average number of dilutive shares outstanding.
Adjusted EBITDA*
The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA* provides useful information about the growth or decline of our net income when compared between different financial periods.
The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA* to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measures in, or calculated from, our consolidated income statements:
(in U.S. $000's, except percentages) Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, % Change % Change 2020 2019 2020 over 2019 2020 2019 2020 over 2019 Net income $ 45,490 $ 25,272 80 $ 121,438 $ 97,575 24 % % Add: depreciation and amortization expenses 18,436 17,692 4 55,586 51,919 7 % % Add: interest expense 8,737 10,090 (13) 26,801 31,023 (14) % % Less: interest income (510) (517) (1) (1,775) (2,435) (27) % % Add: income tax expense 15,437 6,760 128 48,741 28,800 69 % % Pre-tax adjusting items: Severance 4,283 100 4,283 100 % % --- Adjusted EBITDA* $ 91,873 $ 59,297 55 $ 255,074 $ 206,882 23 % % ===
(1) Please refer to page 11 for a summary of adjusting items during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. (2) Adjusted EBITDA* is calculated by adding back depreciation and amortization expenses, interest expense, and income tax expense, and subtracting interest income from net income excluding the pre-tax effects of adjusting items.
Adjusted Net Debt* and Adjusted Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA* Reconciliation
The Company believes that comparing adjusted net debt/adjusted EBITDA* on a trailing 12-month basis for different financial periods provides useful information about the performance of the Company's operations as an indicator of the amount of time it would take the Company to settle both the short and long-term debt. The Company does not consider this to be a measure of liquidity, which is the ability to settle only short-term obligations, but rather a measure of how well the Company funds liquidity.
The following table reconciles adjusted net debt* to debt, adjusted EBITDA* to net income, and adjusted net debt*/adjusted EBITDA* to debt/ net income, respectively, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures in, or calculated from, our consolidated financial statements.
(in U.S. $millions, except percentages) As at and for the 12 months ended September 30, % Change 2020 2019 2020 over 2019 Short-term debt $ 20.3 $ 5.8 250 % Long-term debt 632.6 689.3 (8) % --- Debt 652.9 695.1 (6) % Less: Cash and cash (470.3) (309.6) 52 equivalents % --- Adjusted net debt* 182.6 385.5 (53) % --- Net income $ 173.0 $ 133.0 30 % Add: depreciation and amortization % expenses 74.2 69.1 7 Add: interest expense 37.1 42.8 (13) % Less: interest income (3.1) (3.3) (6) % Add: income tax 61.6 40.7 51 expense % Pre-tax adjusting items: Share-based payment (4.1) (100) expense recovery % Severance 4.3 100 % --- Adjusted EBITDA* $ 343.0 $ 282.3 22 % --- Debt/net income 3.8 x 5.2 x (27) % Adjusted net debt*/adjusted % EBITDA* 0.5 x 1.4 x (64) ===
(1) Please refer to page 11 for a summary of adjusting items for the trailing 12-months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. (2) Adjusted EBITDA* is calculated by adding back depreciation and amortization expenses, interest expense, and income tax expense, and subtracting interest income from net income excluding the pre- tax effects of adjusting items. (3) Adjusted net debt* is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from short and long- term debt. (4) Adjusted net debt*/adjusted EBITDA* is calculated by dividing adjusted net debt* by adjusted EBITDA*.
Operating Free Cash Flow* ("OFCF") Reconciliation
The Company believes OFCF*, when compared on a trailing 12-month basis to different financial periods provides an effective measure of the cash generated by the business and provides useful information regarding cash flows remaining for discretionary return to stockholders, mergers and acquisitions, or debt reduction. The balance sheet scorecard includes OFCF* as a performance metric. OFCF* is also an element of the performance criteria for certain annual short-term and long-term incentive awards.
The following table reconciles OFCF* to cash provided by operating activities, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure in, or calculated from, the consolidated statements of cash flows:
(in U.S. $millions, except percentages) 12 months ended September 30, % Change 2020 2019 2020 over 2019 Cash provided % by operating activities $ 289.2 $ 356.2 (19) --- Property, plant % and equipment additions 16.5 10.4 59 Intangible asset % additions 28.9 25.1 15 Proceeds on % disposition of property plant and equipment (16.6) (13.7) 21 --- Net capital % spending $ 28.8 $ 21.8 32 --- OFCF* $ 260.4 $ 334.4 (22) % ===
(1) OFCF* is calculated by subtracting net capital spending from cash provided by operating activities.
