Filing Impact

10-Q
Custom Truck One Source, Inc. reported higher Q1 2026 revenue but a small net loss as it invests in fleet and inventory growth. Total revenue rose to $461.6 million, up 9.3% from Q1 2025, driven by stronger rental activity and new equipment sales.
Rental revenue increased 18.0% to $137.2 million, supported by an 11.8% rise in average original equipment cost on rent and better fleet utilization. Equipment sales grew 6.9% to $292.6 million, while parts and services were roughly flat.
Gross profit improved 20.5% to $103.1 million and operating income more than doubled to $31.5 million, yet higher interest and depreciation kept results in a modest net loss of $4.1 million (basic and diluted loss per share of $0.02). Cash generated from operations was $23.8 million, partially funding rental equipment and property investments.
The company reorganized into two segments, Specialty Equipment Rentals (SER) and Specialty Truck Equipment & Manufacturing (STEM). Q1 2026 Adjusted EBITDA reached $98.0 million, and the net leverage ratio declined to 4.02x, with quarter-end cash of $9.6 million and ABL availability of $256.9 million.

Insights
Leverage trends improve as profitability normalizes, but interest burden remains heavy.
Custom Truck One Source grew Q1 2026 revenue to $461.6M, up 9.3% year over year, and lifted gross profit by 20.5% to $103.1M. Operating income jumped to $31.5M, versus $12.4M a year earlier, reflecting stronger rental economics and disciplined operating costs.
Despite this, the company still posted a small net loss of $4.1M, largely due to $24.5M of non‑floorplan interest expense and $68.3M of depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA of $98.0M for the quarter translates into LTM Adjusted EBITDA of $408.1M, supporting substantial debt but highlighting sensitivity to financing costs.
Net debt was $1.64B at March 31, 2026, yielding a Net Leverage Ratio of 4.02x, down from 4.31x at year‑end. Available liquidity included $9.6M of cash and $256.9M of ABL availability, plus potential upsizing capacity. Future performance will hinge on sustaining rental utilization, managing inventory tied to the $411.3M sales order backlog, and containing interest expense on variable‑rate facilities.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income, as adjusted for provision for income taxes, interest expense, net..."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
original equipment cost financial
"Ending OEC — Ending original equipment cost (“OEC”) is the original equipment cost of units at the end..."
Original equipment cost is the initial price paid to produce or buy a piece of machinery, device, or component as supplied by the original manufacturer, before any aftermarket changes, upgrades, or refurbishment. For investors it matters because that upfront cost affects a company’s production margins, capital spending, depreciation schedules and the estimated expense of replacing or maintaining assets—much like knowing the purchase price of a new car helps predict future insurance, repair and resale value.
Sales-type leases financial
"Impact of sales-type lease accounting for certain leases containing RPOs..."
floor plan payables financial
"Floor plan payables represent financing arrangements to facilitate the Company’s purchase of new and used trucks..."
Net Leverage Ratio financial
"Net Leverage Ratio is defined as Net Debt over Adjusted EBITDA for the previous twelve-month period..."
The net leverage ratio measures how much debt a company has compared to its available assets or earnings, after accounting for its cash and liquid assets. It helps investors understand how heavily a company relies on borrowed money to finance its operations and growth. A higher ratio indicates greater financial risk, while a lower ratio suggests a more cautious approach to borrowing.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1: Business and Organization
Organization
Custom Truck One Source, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“we,” “our,” “us,” or “the Company”) are engaged in the business of providing a range of products and services to customers through rentals and sales of specialty equipment, rentals and sales of aftermarket parts and services related to the specialty equipment, and repair, maintenance and customization services related to that equipment.
We are a specialty equipment provider to the electric utility transmission and distribution, telecommunications, rail, forestry, waste management and other infrastructure-related industries in North America. Our core business relates to our new equipment inventory and rental fleet of specialty equipment that is utilized by service providers in infrastructure development and improvement work. We offer our specialized equipment to a diverse customer base, including utilities and contractors, for the maintenance, repair, upgrade, and installation of critical infrastructure assets, including distribution and transmission electric lines, telecommunications networks and rail systems, as well as for lighting and signage. We rent, produce, sell and service a broad range of new and used equipment, including bucket trucks, digger derricks, dump trucks, cranes, service trucks, and heavy-haul trailers.
After a recent evaluation of how we currently assess overall operational decision-making and report internal financial information, beginning January 1, 2026, we are reporting the financial results of our two operating segments, which will also be our two reportable segments: (1) Specialty Equipment Rentals (“SER”), which comprises our legacy Equipment Rental Solutions (“ERS”) segment (except for certain used sales to be accounted for by STEM, defined below), plus a portion of our legacy Aftermarket Parts and Services (“APS”) segment, and (2) Specialty Truck Equipment & Manufacturing (“STEM”), which comprises our legacy Truck and Equipment Sales (“TES”) segment, certain used sales that previously were accounted for by ERS, plus a portion of our legacy APS segment. Additionally, beginning January 1, 2026, our segment reporting reflects intersegment sales and a gross margin. This new structure better represents the financial profile and economics of our rental and sales & manufacturing businesses. Refer to Note 14: Segments, for additional segment information and a recast of prior period segment financial information.
Basis of Presentation
Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires that these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and most of the disclosures in these Notes be presented on a historical basis, as of or for the current interim period ended or comparable prior period.
The accompanying interim statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Custom Truck One Source, Inc. at that date. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and disclosures necessary for a fair statement of these interim statements, have been included. The results reported in these interim statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be reported for the entire year or for any other periods. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Custom Truck One Source, Inc. audited consolidated financial statements included in the Custom Truck One Source, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2025-11 — Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”), which is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. ASU 2025-11 also addresses the form and content of such financial statements,
8
interim disclosures requirements, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2025-11 may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-06, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”), which amends the guidance for accounting for software costs to reflect current software development practices, including iterative and agile methodologies, by removing references to development stages. It also clarifies the criteria for capitalization, which begins when both of the following occur: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either prospectively, retrospectively, or utilizing a modified transition approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU 2025-06 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires additional disclosures in the notes to financial statements, disaggregating specific expense categories within relevant income statement captions. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the requirements on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Rental revenue is primarily comprised of revenues from rental agreements and freight charges billed to customers. Equipment sales recognized pursuant to sales-type leases are recorded within equipment sales revenue. Charges to customers for damaged rental equipment are recorded within parts and services revenue.
Receivables, Contract Assets and Liabilities
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had net receivables related to contracts with customers of $101.4 million and $96.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had net receivables related to rental contracts of $102.2 million and $99.5 million, respectively.
The Company manages credit risk associated with its accounts receivable at the customer level. Because the same customers generate the revenues that are accounted for under both Topic 606 and Topic 842, the discussions below address how credit risk and the Company's allowance for credit losses impact the Company's total revenues.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses reflects its estimate of the amount of receivables that it will be unable to collect. The estimated losses are calculated using the loss rate method based upon a review of outstanding receivables, related aging, including specific accounts if deemed necessary, and on the Company’s historical collection experience. The Company's estimates reflect changing circumstances, including changes in the economy or in the particular circumstances of individual customers, and, as a result, the Company may be required to increase or decrease its allowance.
Accounts receivable, net consisted of the following:

| Accounts receivable | $ | $ | |||||||||
| Less: allowance for doubtful accounts | ( | ( | |||||||||
| Accounts receivable, net | $ | $ | |||||||||
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company wrote-off $3.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of receivables, net of recoveries.
When customers are billed for rentals in advance of the rental period, the Company defers recognition of revenue. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $4.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of deferred rental revenue. Of the $3.6 million deferred rental revenue as of December 31, 2025, $0.8 million was recorded as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Additionally, the Company collects deposits from customers for orders placed for equipment and rentals. The Company had approximately $11.3 million and $19.9 million in deposits as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. All of the $19.9 million deposit liability balance as of December 31, 2025 was recorded as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026 due to performance obligations being satisfied. The Company’s remaining performance obligations on its equipment deposit liabilities have original expected durations of one year or less.
The Company does not have material contract assets, and as such, did not recognize any material impairments of any contract assets.

Note 5: Floor Plan Financing
Floor plan payables represent financing arrangements to facilitate the Company’s purchase of new and used trucks, cranes, and construction equipment inventory. All floor plan payables are collateralized by the inventory financed. These payables become due and payable upon the sale, transfer, or reclassification of each unit of inventory. Certain floor plan arrangements require the Company to satisfy various financial ratios consistent with those under the ABL Facility (as defined below). As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
The amounts owed under floor plan payables are summarized as follows:

Note 8: Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the effects of potentially dilutive shares of common stock, if dilutive. Potentially dilutive effects include contingently issuable shares and share-based compensation. Our potentially dilutive shares aggregated 3.7 5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the impact would have been anti-dilutive. The Company had no

As of both March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we were authorized to issue 500,000,000 0.0001
On August 2, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program, allowing for the repurchase of up to $30 million of the Company’s shares of common stock, which authorization was further increased by $25 million of shares on September 14, 2023, and increased again by $25 million of shares on March 11, 2024, upon exhaustion of prior authorization. Under the repurchase program, repurchases can be made from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, all in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements. The specific timing, price and size of purchases will depend on prevailing stock prices, general economic and market conditions, and other considerations. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of its common stock, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. At March 31, 2026, $1.9 million was available under the stock repurchase program.

Note 10: Fair Value Measurements
The FASB accounting standards provide a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs.
13
The following table sets forth the carrying values (exclusive of deferred financing fees) and fair values of our financial liabilities:
| Carrying Value | Fair Value | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| (in $000s) | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| March 31, 2026 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| ABL Facility | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
| 2029 Secured Notes | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2023 Credit Facility | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Other notes payable | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| December 31, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| ABL Facility | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
| 2029 Secured Notes | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2023 Credit Facility | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Other notes payable | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The carrying amounts of the ABL Facility, 2023 Credit Facility and other notes payable approximated fair value as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, based upon terms and conditions available to the Company at those dates in comparison to the terms and conditions of its outstanding debt. The estimated fair value of the 2029 Secured Notes is calculated using Level 2 inputs, based on bid prices obtained from brokers.
Note 11: Income Taxes
Interim Income Tax Expense (Benefit) – Our income tax expense or benefit reflects a combination of income taxes in foreign jurisdictions and certain U.S. states. We have federal and state net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) and non-deductible interest expense carryforwards in the U.S. that may be applied to reduce taxable income in current and future tax years. Some of these carryforwards are subject to annual usage limitations and expiration, while other state NOLs and a portion of federal NOLs do not have limitations or expiration. We carry a valuation allowance against our U.S. carryforwards, which results in no net income tax expense in our earnings in periods when additional NOLs are generated or when existing NOLs are utilized. Certain states that we operate in have rules regarding the deductibility of items that diverge from U.S. federal deductibility rules and in addition, a number of these states have placed limitations on the usage of NOLs to offset taxable income apportioned to those states. Our overall effective tax rate is affected by a number of factors, including the relative amounts of income we earn in different tax jurisdictions, tax law changes, certain non-deductible expenses, the changes in our valuation allowance and divergence of state rules from federal rules. The factors result in an effective tax rate that differs from statutory rates.
The Company’s effective income tax rate was (7.8 )% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 30.2 % for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to changes in the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. During the period, the Company reduced its valuation allowance based on updated projections of future taxable income and the realization of certain deferred tax assets, which resulted in a discrete tax benefit and a lower effective tax rate.
Note 12: Commitments and Contingencies
We record a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. We review these provisions at least quarterly and adjust these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information.
Legal Matters
In the normal course of business, there are various claims in process, matters in litigation, and other contingencies. At this time, no claims of these types, certain of which are covered by insurance policies, have had a material effect on the Company. Certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates do not allow insurance recoveries related to punitive damages. For matters pertaining to the pre-acquisition activities of Custom Truck One Source, L.P. (“Custom Truck LP”), the sellers of Custom Truck LP have agreed to indemnify the Company for losses arising out of the breach of pre-closing covenants in the purchase agreement and certain indemnified tax matters discussed below, with recourse limited to $10.0 million and $5.0 million escrow accounts, respectively.
From time to time, the Company is audited by state and local taxing authorities. These audits typically focus on the Company’s withholding of state-specific sales tax and rental-related taxes.
14
Custom Truck LP’s withholdings of federal excise taxes for each of the four quarterly periods during 2015 are currently under audit by the IRS. The IRS issued an assessment on October 28, 2020 in an aggregate amount of $2.4 million for the 2015 periods, alleging that certain types of sold equipment are not eligible for the Mobile Machinery Exemption set forth in the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). An appeal was filed on January 28, 2021. Based on management’s understanding of the facts and circumstances, including the relevant provisions of the Code, and historical precedent, including previous successful appeals of similar assessments in prior years, management does not believe the likelihood of a loss resulting from the IRS assessment to be probable at this time.
While it is not possible to predict the outcome of the foregoing matters with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the final outcome of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Purchase Commitments
Note 13: Related Parties
The Company has transactions with related parties as summarized below.
Rentals and Sales — The Company rents and sells equipment and provides services to R&M Equipment Rental, a business partially owned by members of the Company’s management.

Note 14: Segments
Our operations are primarily organized and managed by operating segment. Beginning January 1, 2026, we revised our reportable segments to combine our legacy ERS segment (excluding certain used sales) with the rental-related aftermarket activities portion of our legacy APS segment to form SER and to combine our legacy TES segment (plus certain used sales previously accounted for by ERS) with the sales-related aftermarket activities portion of our legacy APS segment to form STEM. Prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the change to two reportable segments.
15
Under this new segment reporting, operating segment performance and resource allocations are based on Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as segment operating income or loss before depreciation and amortization, further excluding the effects of purchase accounting adjustments and the impact of sales-type lease accounting for certain leases containing rental purchase options (or “RPOs”).
Adjusted EBITDA aids the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in managing the inventory levels and rental fleet, entering into significant revenue contracts, expanding into new markets or launching new products, making capital expenditures, designing and implementing key marketing strategies, making personnel changes, and approving operating budgets. Additionally, the new segment structure better represents the financial profile and economics of our rental and sales and manufacturing businesses. Significant expense categories that are regularly reviewed by the operating segments’ CODM are disclosed below. The CODM for both segments is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Transactions between our segments consist of new equipment produced by STEM that is sold to SER for inclusion in its fleet of rental equipment. Additionally, SER sells certain used equipment to STEM. Beginning January 1, 2026, transactions between segments are accounted for as if completed on an arm’s length basis using a cost-plus methodology. However, intersegment sales and purchases are eliminated in consolidation and do not affect consolidated results. The Company’s segment results are presented in the tables below:

(1) - Specifically identifiable lease revenue receivables not deemed probable of collection are recorded as a reduction of rental revenue. This is classified as a segment expense for Segment Adjusted EBITDA reviewed by the chief operating decision maker.
(2) - Impact of sales-type lease accounting for certain leases containing RPOs: this impact is excluded from the measure of Adjusted EBITDA utilized by our CODM to allocate resources and to assess the performance of our segments as we believe continuing to reflect the transactions as an operating lease better reflects the economics of the transactions given our large portfolio of rental contracts.
(3) - Cost of rental revenue, excluding depreciation: reflects repairs and maintenance costs of rental equipment, parts costs, labor and other overheads related to maintaining the rental fleet, and freight associated with the shipping of rental equipment.
(4) - Cost of equipment sales, net of purchase accounting, sales-type leases and depreciation: reflects production and inventory costs associated with new units sold, labor and other overheads related to production, and freight associated with the shipping and receiving of equipment. Cost of equipment sales also includes the net book value of rental units sold. These costs are net of (i) the impact of purchase accounting step-up in basis on equipment and inventory acquired ("non-cash purchase accounting impact") and (ii) the impact of sales-type lease accounting for certain leases containing RPOs, further excluding depreciation.
(5) - Cost of parts and services sales, excluding depreciation: reflects inventory costs associated with parts costs and freight associated with the shipping and receiving of parts, further excluding depreciation.
Total assets by operating segment are not disclosed herein because assets by operating segment data are not reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources.

Custom Truck One Source, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“we,” “our,” “us,” or “the Company”) are engaged in the business of providing a range of products and services to customers through rentals and sales of specialty equipment, rentals and sales of aftermarket parts and services related to the specialty equipment, and repair, maintenance and customization services related to that equipment.
We are a specialty equipment provider to the electric utility transmission and distribution, telecommunications, rail, forestry, waste management and other infrastructure-related industries in North America. Our core business relates to our new equipment inventory and rental fleet of specialty equipment that is utilized by service providers in infrastructure development and improvement work. We offer our specialized equipment to a diverse customer base, including utilities and contractors, for the maintenance, repair, upgrade, and installation of critical infrastructure assets, including distribution and transmission electric lines, telecommunications networks and rail systems, as well as for lighting and signage. We rent, produce, sell and service a broad range of new and used equipment, including bucket trucks, digger derricks, dump trucks, cranes, service trucks, and heavy-haul trailers. Beginning January 1, 2026, we manage the business in two reporting segments: Specialty Equipment Rentals (“SER”) and Specialty Truck Equipment & Manufacturing (“STEM”). Refer to Note 14: Segments, for additional information on our reporting segments.
Financial and Performance Measures
Financial Measures
Revenue — As a full-service equipment provider, we generate revenue through renting, selling, assembling, upfitting, and servicing new and used heavy-duty trucks and cranes, as well as the sale of related parts. We also sell and rent specialized tools on an individual basis and in kits. Rental revenue is primarily comprised of revenues from rental agreements and freight charges billed to customers. The Company records changes in estimated collectability directly against rental revenue. Equipment sales revenue reflects the value of vocational trucks and other equipment sold to customers as well as upfit services. Parts and service revenue is derived from maintenance and repair services, and parts, tools and accessories sold directly to customers. Rental revenue excludes active rental contracts which qualify to be accounted for as sales-type leases.
Cost of rental revenue — Cost of rental revenue reflects repairs and maintenance costs of rental equipment, parts costs, labor and other overheads related to maintaining the rental fleet, and freight associated with the shipping of rental equipment.
Depreciation of rental equipment — Depreciation of rental equipment is comprised of depreciation expense on the rental fleet. We allocate the cost of rental equipment generally over the rentable life of the equipment. The depreciation allocation is based upon estimated lives ranging from one to seven years. The cost of equipment is depreciated to an estimated residual value using the straight-line method.
Cost of equipment and parts and services sales — Cost of equipment sales reflects production and inventory costs associated with new units sold, parts costs, labor and other overheads related to production, and freight associated with the shipping and receiving of equipment and parts. Cost of equipment sales also includes the net book value of rental units sold, including active rental contracts which qualify to be accounted for as sales-type leases.
Selling, general and administrative expenses — Selling, general and administrative expenses include sales compensation, fleet licensing fees and corporate expenses, including salaries, stock-based compensation expense, insurance, advertising costs, professional services, fees earned on customer arranged financing, gains or losses resulting from insurance settlements, and information technology costs.
Amortization and non-rental depreciation — Amortization expense relates to intangible assets such as customer lists, trade names, etc. Non-rental depreciation expense reflects the depreciation of property and equipment that is not part of the rental fleet.
Transaction expenses and other — Transaction expenses and other include costs related to acquisitions of businesses; costs associated with closed operations; costs associated with restructuring and business optimization activities (inclusive of systems establishment costs); employee retention and/or severance costs; costs related to start-up/pre-openings and openings of locations; reconfiguration or consolidation of facilities and equipment conversion costs.
Financing and other expense (income) — Financing and other expense (income) reflects the financing expense (income) associated with lease agreements qualifying to be accounted for as a sales-type lease, foreign currency gains and losses related to our Canadian operations, as well as other miscellaneous gains or losses from non-operating activities.
Interest expense — Interest expense consists of contractual interest expense on outstanding debt obligations, floor plan financing facilities, amortization of deferred financing costs and other related financing expenses.
19
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) — We have net operating loss carryforward and disallowed interest deduction carryforward assets, which are generally available to be used to offset taxable income generated in future years. Due to limitations on the use of these carryforwards under U.S. federal and state income tax regulations, we record valuation allowances to reduce the carryforward assets to amounts that we estimate will be realized. Accordingly, income tax expense or benefit generally is comprised of changes to these valuation allowance estimates and does not reflect taxes on current period income (or tax benefit on current period losses). For these reasons, our effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory tax rate.
Operating Metrics
We consider the following key operational metrics, which are consistent with those defined by the American Rental Association, when evaluating our performance and making day-to-day operating decisions:
Ending OEC — Ending original equipment cost (“OEC”) is the original equipment cost of units at the end of the measurement period. OEC represents the original equipment cost and excludes the effect of adjustments to rental equipment fleet acquired in business combinations. OEC is the basis for calculating certain of the measures set forth below. Additionally, the pricing of our rental contracts and equipment sales prices for our equipment is based upon OEC, and we measure a rate of return from our rentals and sales using OEC. OEC is a widely used industry metric to compare fleet dollar value independent of depreciation.
Average OEC on rent — Average OEC on rent is calculated as the weighted-average OEC on rent during the stated period.
Fleet utilization — Fleet utilization is defined as the total number of days the rental equipment was rented during a specified period of time divided by the total number of days available during the same period and weighted based on OEC. Utilization is a measure of fleet efficiency expressed as a percentage of time the fleet is on rent and is considered to be an important indicator of the revenue generating capacity of the fleet.
OEC on rent yield — OEC on rent yield (“ORY”) is a measure of return realized by our rental fleet during a period. ORY is calculated as rental revenue (excluding freight recovery and ancillary fees) during the stated period divided by the average OEC on rent for the same period. For periods less than 12 months, ORY is adjusted to an annualized basis.
Sales order backlog — Sales order backlog consists of purchase orders received for customized and stock equipment. Sales order backlog should not be considered an accurate measure of future net sales.

After a recent evaluation of how we currently assess overall operational decision-making and report internal financial information, beginning January 1, 2026, we are reporting the financial results of our two operating segments, which will also be our two reportable segments: (1) Specialty Equipment Rentals (“SER”), which comprises our legacy Equipment Rental Solutions (“ERS”) segment (except for certain used sales to be accounted for by STEM, defined below), plus a portion of our legacy Aftermarket Parts and Services (“APS”) segment, and (2) Specialty Truck Equipment & Manufacturing (“STEM”), which comprises our legacy Truck and Equipment Sales (“TES”) segment, certain used sales that previously were accounted for by ERS, plus a portion of our legacy APS segment. Additionally, beginning January 1, 2026, our segment reporting reflects intersegment sales and a gross margin, with adjusted EBITDA being the new reportable segments’ profit measure. This new structure better represents the financial profile and economics of our rental and sales & manufacturing businesses.
Specialty Equipment Rentals (“SER”) Segment — We own a broad range of new and used specialty equipment, including truck-mounted aerial lifts, cranes, service trucks, dump trucks, trailers, digger derricks and other machinery and equipment. As of March 31, 2026, this equipment (the “rental fleet”) is comprised of more than 10,350 units. The majority of our rental fleet can be used across a variety of end-markets, which coincides with the needs of many of our customers who operate in multiple end-markets. As is customary for equipment rental companies, we sell used equipment out of our rental fleet to end user customers and to our STEM segment. These sales are often made in response to specific customer requests. These sales offer customers an opportunity to buy well-maintained equipment with long remaining useful lives and enable us to effectively manage the age and mix of our rental fleet to match current market demand. We also employ rental purchase options (“RPOs”) on a select basis, which provide a buyout option with an established purchase price that decreases over time as rental revenue is collected. Customers are given credit against such purchase price for a portion of the amounts paid over the life of the rental, allowing customers the flexibility of a rental with the option to purchase at any time at a known price. Activities in our SER segment consist of the rental and sale from the rental fleet of the foregoing specialty equipment, rentals of aftermarket parts and services related to the specialty equipment, and repair, maintenance and customization services related to that equipment.
Specialty Truck Equipment & Manufacturing (“STEM”) segment — We offer a broad variety of new equipment for sale to be used across our end-markets, which can be modified to meet our customers’ specific needs. We believe that our integrated production
20
capabilities and extensive knowledge gained over a long history of selling equipment have established us as a trusted partner for customers seeking tailored solutions with short lead times. In support of these activities, we primarily employ a direct-to-customer sales model, leveraging our dedicated sales force of industry and product managers, who are focused on driving national and local sales. We also opportunistically engage in the sale of used equipment purchased from third parties, our SER segment or received via trade-ins from new equipment sales customers. In the majority of these cases, we will sell used equipment directly to customers, rather than relying on auctions. Activities in our STEM segment consist of the production and sale of new and used specialty equipment and vocational trucks, which includes equipment from leading original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) across our end-markets, as well as our Load KingTM brand, and the sales of aftermarket parts and services related to the specialty equipment, and repair, maintenance and customization services related to that equipment.

Total Revenue - The increase in total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025 is a result of higher rental revenue driven by higher average OEC on rent of 11.8% as well as strong new equipment sales.
Cost of Revenue, Excluding Rental Equipment Depreciation - The increase in cost of revenue, excluding rental equipment depreciation for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was driven primarily by the increase in equipment sales volume.
Depreciation of Rental Equipment - Depreciation of our rental equipment increased in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, as a result of higher rental equipment levels.
Operating Expenses - Operating expenses decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily as a result of lower stock compensation expense and IT software amortization.
Total Other Expense - Other expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, due to less interest expense on floorplan financing as a result of lower inventory levels.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit) - Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.3 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of (7.8)%. Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $7.7 million, at an effective tax rate of 30.2%. The changes in effective tax rate was primarily attributable to changes in the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets.
Net Income (loss) - Net loss decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher operating income as a result of higher rental revenue driven by higher average OEC on rent as well as strong new equipment sales.

Operating Metrics
We principally evaluate operational performance based on the following metrics: ending OEC, average OEC on rent, fleet utilization, and OEC on rent yield. We also report sales order backlog related to our customers’ orders for new vocational heavy duty trucks as an indicator of the demand environment for our products. The table below presents these key measures.

22
Total Revenue - The increase in total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was due to an increase in rental revenue as well as rental equipment sales. Rental revenue increased as a result of higher fleet utilization of 3.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, driven by higher average OEC on rent of 11.8%. Rental equipment sales increased due to an increase in buyout activity of rental contracts with purchase options. The decrease in parts sales and services was driven by fewer tool kits sold. Intersegment sales decreased as fewer units were identified as rental asset disposals given the increased demand for rental units.
Cost of Rental Revenue, Excluding Depreciation - The increase in cost of rental revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was largely due to an increase in rental activity.
Cost of Equipment Sales, net of Purchase Accounting, Sales-Type Leases and Depreciation - The increase in cost of equipment sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was due to an increase in rental equipment sales volume.
Cost of Parts and Services, Excluding Depreciation - The decrease in cost of parts and services three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was in line with the decline in parts and services revenue as fewer tool kits were sold.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses - Selling, general and administrative expenses were flat for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.
Rental AR Provision - Represents specifically identifiable lease revenue receivables not deemed probable of collection which are recorded as a reduction of rental revenue per the Company’s significant accounting policies. This is classified as a segment expense for Segment Adjusted EBITDA reviewed by the chief operating decision maker.
Sales Type Lease Adjustments - Represents the impact of sales-type lease accounting for certain leases containing rental purchase options (or “RPOs”), as we believe continuing to reflect the transactions as an operating lease better reflects the economics of the transactions given our large portfolio of rental contracts.
Adjusted EBITDA - The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was due to higher operating income.

(1) Excludes the non-cash impact of purchase accounting.
Total Revenue - The increase in total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was due to higher equipment sales driven by demand in service vehicles. Parts sales and services also increased driven primarily by higher service activity and increased demand for replacement parts. Intersegment sales were consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Although unit sales to SER were higher in the prior year, the current year revenue reflects the impact of intercompany markup, which increased the per-unit value and offset the decline in volume.
Cost of Equipment Sales, net of Purchase Accounting and Depreciation - The increase in cost of equipment sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was driven by the increase in equipment sales volume.
Cost of Parts and Services, Excluding Depreciation - The increase in cost of parts and services for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, corresponded with the increase in parts sales and services revenue reflecting higher volume of work performed and the related increase in materials and labor required to support that activity.
Cost of Intersegment Sales - Cost of intersegment sales declined for three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025 due to fewer units sold to SER. While intersegment revenue increased slightly because of the markup applied in 2026, the lower unit volume directly reduced the associated cost of sales.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses - Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher sales commission.
Floorplan Interest Expense - The decrease in floorplan interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was due to the lower inventory levels.
Adjusted EBITDA - The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was due to increased gross profit and lower interest expense on variable-rate floor plan liabilities from lower inventory levels.

See Note 14 - Segments for additional information.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity include cash generated by operating activities and borrowings under revolving credit facilities as described below. We believe that our liquidity sources and operating cash flows are sufficient to address our operating, debt service and capital requirements, including investments in our rental fleet, over the next 12 months and beyond. As of March 31, 2026, we had $9.6 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $6.3 million as of December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $688.0 million and $698.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our ABL Facility, respectively. Availability under the ABL Facility was $256.9 million as of March 31, 2026, and based on our borrowing base, we have an additional $191.6 million of suppressed availability that we can potentially utilize by upsizing our existing facility. For further information on the ABL Facility, see Note 7: Long-Term Debt in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
25
Loan Covenants and Compliance
The ABL Facility contains customary negative covenants for transactions of this type, including covenants that, among other things, limit Nesco Holdings II, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Borrower” with respect to the ABL Facility, or the “Issuer” with respect to the Indenture, defined below) and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to: incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends, redeem stock, or make other distributions; repurchase, prepay or redeem subordinated indebtedness; make investments; create restrictions on the ability of the Borrower’s restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends; create liens; transfer or sell assets; consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Borrower’s assets; enter into certain transactions with the Borrower’s affiliates; and designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries, in each case subject to certain exceptions, as well as a restrictive covenant applicable to each Specified Floor Plan Company (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) limiting its ability to own certain assets and engage in certain lines of business. The covenants governing the payment of dividends and making other distributions are based upon a combination of fixed amounts, percentages of Adjusted EBITDA or upon multiple pro forma measures depending on the purpose of any such dividend payments or distributions the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries are permitted to make. Unlimited dividends under the ABL Facility may be permitted so long as, on a pro forma basis, “distribution conditions” (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement governing the ABL Facility) are satisfied. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s distribution conditions were satisfied and, as a result, the Company determined there were no restrictions on distributions by the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries by the ABL Credit Agreement.
The 5.50% senior secured second lien notes due 2029 (the “2029 Secured Notes”) were issued pursuant to the indenture governing our 2029 Secured Notes (the “Indenture”) which contains covenants that limit the Issuer’s (and certain of its subsidiaries’) ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends, redeem stock, or make other distributions; (iii) make other restricted payments or investments; (iv) create liens on assets; (v) transfer or sell assets; (vi) create restrictions on payment of dividends or other amounts by the Issuer’s restricted subsidiaries; (vii) engage in mergers or consolidations; (viii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; or (ix) designate the Issuer’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The covenants governing the payment of dividends and making other distributions are based upon a combination of fixed amounts, percentages of Adjusted EBITDA or upon multiple pro forma measures depending on the purpose of any such dividend payments or distributions the Issuer and its restricted subsidiaries are permitted to make. Unlimited dividends, under the Indenture, may be made so long as after giving effect to making the dividends, the Consolidated Total Debt Ratio would be no greater than 5.00 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s Consolidated Total Debt Ratio was not greater than 5.00 to 1.00 and, as a result, the Company determined there were no restrictions on distributions by the Issuer and its restricted subsidiaries by the Indenture. For further information on the ABL Facility and Indenture, see Note 8: Long-Term Debt in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Part II, Item 8 in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed on March 10, 2026.
The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA calculated in accordance with “Consolidated EBITDA” as that term is used in the ABL Credit Agreement and the Indenture. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income, as adjusted for provision for income taxes, interest expense, net (excluding interest on floorplan financing), depreciation of rental equipment and non-rental depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the impact of the fair value mark-up of acquired rental fleet (the “non-cash purchase accounting impact”), business acquisition and merger-related costs, including integration, the impact of accounting for certain of our rental contracts with customers that are accounted for under GAAP as a sales-type lease and stock compensation expense.
The Company presents Net Leverage Ratio, which is equivalent to Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio in our ABL Credit Agreement and Consolidated Total Debt Ratio in the Indenture, is defined as Net Debt over Adjusted EBITDA for the previous twelve-month period (“last twelve months,” or “LTM”). Net debt is defined as total debt (calculated as current and long-term debt, excluding deferred financing fees, plus current and long-term finance lease obligations) minus cash and cash equivalents.
Our creditors utilize Adjusted EBITDA and Net Leverage Ratio to assess our compliance with the restrictive covenants in the ABL Credit Agreement and the Indenture. Neither Adjusted EBITDA or Net Leverage Ratio is calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not conform to the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA or Net Leverage Ratio used by other companies. Neither Adjusted EBITDA or Net leverage Ratio should be considered as a substitute for a measure of our financial performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Historical Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (in $000s) | 2026 | 2025 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net cash flow from operating activities | $ | 23,815 | $ | 55,635 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net cash flow for investing activities | (59,234) | (71,306) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net cash flow from financing activities | 38,575 | 17,196 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net change in cash and cash equivalents | $ | 3,335 | $ | 1,575 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
As of March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9.6 million, an increase of $3.3 million from March 31, 2025. Generally, we manage our cash flow by using any excess cash, after considering our working capital and capital expenditure needs, including paying down the outstanding balance under our ABL Facility, and availability under our credit facilities.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash from operating activities was $23.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $55.6 million in the same period of 2025. The decrease in net cash from operating activities is driven by higher levels of inventory on hand as of March 31, 2026 when compared to same period in 2025.
Cash Flows for Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $59.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $71.3 million in the same period of 2025. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a decrease in purchases of rental
28
equipment of $15.0 million, partially offset by an increase in purchases of non-rental property and cloud computing assets of $6.2 million.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash from financing activities was $38.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $17.2 million in the same period of 2025. The increase in net cash from financing activities was primarily due to a decrease in repurchases of stock of $32.6 million and a decrease in repayments on floorplan liabilities and long term debt of $16.1 million, partially offset by lower proceeds from floorplan liabilities and long term debt of $27.3 million.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest rate risk
We are subject to interest rate market risk in connection with our long-term debt. Our principal interest rate exposure relates to outstanding amounts under the ABL Credit Facility and our floor plan financing arrangements. Interest rate changes generally impact the amount of our interest payments and, therefore, our future net income and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. As of March 31, 2026, we had $1,428.1 million aggregate principal amount of variable rate debt, consisting of the balance outstanding under floor plan financing and the ABL Facility. Holding other variables constant, each one-eighth percentage point increase or decrease in the applicable interest rates would correspondingly change our interest expense under floor plan financing and the ABL Facility by approximately $1.8 million on an annual basis.
We, from time to time, may manage a portion of our risks from exposures to fluctuations in interest rates as part of our risk management program through the use of derivative financial instruments. The objective of controlling these risks is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flows caused by fluctuations in the interest rates of our variable-rate debt. We do not currently hedge our interest rate exposure.
Foreign currency exchange rate risk
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we generated $6.6 million of revenues denominated in Canadian dollars. Each 100-basis point increase or decrease in the average Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate for the year would have correspondingly changed our revenues by approximately $0.3 million on an annual basis. We do not currently hedge our exchange rate exposure.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We may, at any given time, be named as a defendant in certain lawsuits, investigations and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.

In the opinion of management, there are no pending litigation, disputes or claims against the Company that, if decided adversely, would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.
