EquipmentShare Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results with Accelerated Organic Growth and Margin Expansion
Rental revenue growth outpaced managed fleet growth, while quarterly interest expense increased to $88 million.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
EquipmentShare (Nasdaq: EQPT) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $1,468 million, with rental growth and higher profitability supporting its results. Revenue increased 55% year over year, while net income rose to $20 million from $6 million. Rental revenue increased 49% to $1,113 million. Rental adjusted EBITDA, an adjusted earnings measure, rose 52% to $491 million; its margin reached 44%, up 68 basis points year over year.
The managed fleet's original equipment cost grew 32% to $10,663 million. Available liquidity was $2,298 million, and net leverage fell to 3.4 times from 3.7 times a year earlier. However, quarterly interest expense increased to $88 million from $75 million. EquipmentShare's 2026 outlook calls for revenue of $5,808–$6,045 million and adjusted core EBITDA of $2,136–$2,224 million. The company expects 262 mature rental sites by year-end, versus 186 at the end of 2025.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Third Quarter 2026 Results
- Rental Segment(1) revenue increased

The Company does not provide a reconciliation between the expected non-GAAP measures and the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the period reflected above because certain significant information required for such reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amounts of these items that have not yet occurred and are out of the Company’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results.

Trailing Twelve Month Financial Information
This press release includes certain unaudited financial information for the trailing twelve months (“TTM”) ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, which is calculated as the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, plus the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 less the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. This presentation is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, the Company believes that this presentation provides useful information to investors regarding our recent financial performance, and management views this presentation of the four most recently completed fiscal quarters as a key measurement period for investors to assess our historical results. In addition, the Company uses TTM information to evaluate our financial performance for ongoing planning purposes.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain financial information that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for the corresponding GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures in this presentation may be calculated in a way that is not comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. Non-GAAP measures in this press release include, but are not limited to, “EBITDA”, “Adjusted Earnings Per Share”, “Adjusted Net Income”, “Core EBITDA”, and “Adjusted Core EBITDA”, and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of the Company’s profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. Schedules that reconcile certain non-GAAP financial measures to a financial measure included in financial statements calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are included in the below tables.
EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Core EBITDA, and Adjusted Core EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock compensation expense. The exclusion of these items and other similar items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual. The Company believes EBITDA is meaningful to investors because it provides investors with a useful representation of our ongoing operations and performance.
Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense related to the IPO Founders Awards. The Company believes Adjusted Net Income is meaningful to investors because it provides investors with a useful representation of our ongoing operations and performance.
Adjusted Earnings Per Share (“Adjusted EPS”) is defined as Adjusted Net Income less deemed dividends on perpetual preferred stock divided by adjusted fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The Company believes Adjusted EPS is meaningful to investors because it provides investors with a useful representation of our ongoing operations and performance.
Core EBITDA is defined as the sum of Equipment Rental and Services Operations Segment EBITDA and Equipment Sales Segment EBITDA. The Company believes Core EBITDA is meaningful to investors because it reflects the profitability of our two core segments.
Adjusted Core EBITDA is defined as Core EBITDA adjusted for new market start-up costs attributable to new locations less than twelve months old. The Company believes Adjusted Core EBITDA is meaningful to investors as it is the primary operating performance measure used by the Company to assess its core operating performance.
Adjusted Core EBITDA can also be calculated as EBITDA less amortization and non-cash stock compensation expense, other (income) expense, (gain) loss on sale of properties and other assets, and All Other Segment Adjusted EBITDA, plus the sum of OWN Program payouts, equipment and vehicle operating lease expense, loss (gain) on debt extinguishment, and new market start-up costs. Adjusted Core EBITDA reflects the Company’s underlying operating performance by excluding items unique to the Company’s organic growth and financing strategy such as (i) OWN Program payouts and (ii) new market start-up costs. As a capital-light fleet growth model, the OWN Program enables third-party participants to own rental equipment deployed and managed by EquipmentShare. When the equipment rents, OWN Program participants receive a portion of the rental revenue generated by the equipment. When equipment is included in the OWN Program rather than purchased and owned or leased directly by the Company, depreciation and interest expense associated with that equipment are reduced, while OWN Program payouts are recorded as cost of revenues. This shift increases cost of revenues and decreases depreciation and interest expense. Excluding OWN Program payouts assists investors in evaluating the Company’s business and performance relative to industry peers as no other company uses a similar model.
New market start-up costs reflect the upfront investments required to support our continued geographic expansion. As the only large-scale equipment rental provider that is fully focused on organic growth, excluding new market start-up costs provides greater transparency with respect to the Company's financial condition and results of operation as it enhances comparability with industry peers.
These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to and are not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our use of the terms EBITDA and Adjusted Core EBITDA may vary from the use of similar terms by other companies in our industry and accordingly may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
