Cash Flow from Investing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our cash used in investing activities was $14.3 million. This was mainly due to $16.8 million purchases of rental equipment and non-rental property and equipment, the acquisition of CEQ as discussed in Note 15, Business Combinations, and other investing activities, partially offset by $2.3 million proceeds from the sale of rent-to-rent equipment and $0.2 million proceeds from the sale of non-rental property and equipment.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our cash used in investing activities was $16.5 million. This was mainly due to $18.2 million purchases of rental equipment and non-rental property and equipment, and other investing activities partially offset by $1.6 million proceeds from the sale of rent-to-rent equipment and $0.1 million proceeds from the sale of non-rental property and equipment.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by financing activities was $29.5 million. This cash inflow was mainly due to the $34.5 million of net proceeds from our line of credit, long-term borrowings, and finance lease obligations, which funded the increase in net working capital previously noted. These cash inflows were partially offset by payments of $2.7 million for preferred and common stock dividends, net payments of $1.5 million related to non-manufacturer floor plans, and $0.8 million related to other financing activities.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash provided by financing activities was $4.6 million. This cash inflow was mainly due to $10.9 million of net borrowings under our line of credit which funded the increase in net working capital previously noted. Additionally, there were net borrowings of $1.9 million related to non-manufacturer floor plans. These cash inflows were partially offset by payments of $2.7 million for preferred and common stock dividends and $5.5 million related to other financing activities.
Sources of Liquidity
Our principal sources of liquidity have been from cash provided by our service, parts and rental related operations and the sales of new, used, and rental fleet equipment, proceeds from the issuance of debt, and borrowings available under our line of credit and floor plans. The Company also reported $11.1 million in cash as of March 31, 2025. For more information on our available borrowings under the revolving line of credit, senior secured second lien notes, and floor plans, please refer to Note 8, Floor Plans and Note 9, Long-term Debt. We consider the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested as we do not anticipate the need to repatriate funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs.
Cash Requirements Related to Operations
Our principal uses of cash have been to fund operating activities and working capital, including but not limited to new and used equipment inventories, purchases of rental fleet equipment and personal property, payments due under line of credit and floor plans, acquisitions, debt service requirements, stock repurchases, and preferred stock and common stock dividends. In the future, we may pursue additional strategic acquisitions and seek to open new start-up locations. We anticipate that the uses described above encompass the principal demands on our cash and availability under our line of credit and floor plans in the future.
The amount of our future capital expenditures will depend on a number of factors including general economic conditions and our growth prospects. Our gross rental fleet capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $40.4 million, including $28.4 million of transfers from new and used inventory to rental fleet. This gross rental fleet capital expenditure was offset by sales proceeds from rental equipment of $20.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as our business model is to sell lightly used inventory to customers from our rental fleet to increase field population in our geographies. In response to changing economic conditions, we have the flexibility to modify our capital expenditures, especially as it relates to rental fleet.
To service our debt, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to pay interest and principal on our indebtedness, will depend upon our future operating performance and the availability of borrowings under the line of credit and/or other debt and equity financing alternatives available to us, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and conditions in the global credit and capital markets, as well as financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Based on our current level of operations and given the current state of the capital markets, we believe our cash flows from operations, available cash, and available borrowings under the line of credit will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2025, we had $401.6 million of available borrowings under the ABL Facility and Floor Plan Facilities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), we are required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the related disclosures. Our management reviews these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. While we believe the estimates and judgments we use in preparing our consolidated financial statements are reasonable and appropriate, they are subject to future events and uncertainties regarding their outcome; therefore, actual results may materially differ from these estimates. If actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts first become known. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a summary of our significant accounting policies.
