Adjusted Core EBITDA financial
"Adjusted Core EBITDA of $399 million for the first quarter and $1,776 million on a TTM(1) basis."
Earnings a company generates from its regular business activities before paying interest, taxes and accounting charges for asset wear-and-tear, with additional adjustments that strip out one-time, unusual or non-recurring items to show the underlying profit of core operations. Investors use it like a steady-mileage estimate for a car — it highlights recurring performance and makes it easier to compare profitability across periods or companies by removing noise that can distort short-term results.
TTM financial
"TTM refers to the trailing twelve month period ended March 31, 2026."
Trailing twelve months (TTM) is a way of measuring a company’s financial performance using the most recent 12 months of data, instead of a fixed fiscal year. Investors use it like a rolling report card—smoothing short-term spikes or seasonal swings—to see current trends in revenue, profit or cash flow and make more timely comparisons between companies or against recent history.
OWN Program payouts financial
"OWN Program payouts were $217 million in the first quarter and $777 million for the trailing twelve month period."
Net leverage ratio financial
"Net leverage(8) decreased to 2.8x as of March 31, 2026, from 3.2x as of March 31, 2025."
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.
IPO Founders Awards financial
"Adjusted net (loss) income is a non-GAAP measure that excludes stock based compensation expense related to equity awards granted to each of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President (the “IPO Founders Awards”)."

Columbia, MO. - - (Business Wire) - - EquipmentShare.com Inc (Nasdaq: EQPT) (“EquipmentShare” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 which can be found on EquipmentShare’s website at https://ir.equipmentshare.com/.
“We delivered a strong first quarter and are raising our 2026 outlook across the board,” said Jabbok Schlacks, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of EquipmentShare. “Rental Segment revenue grew 37% year over year, supported by strong customer demand across industrial, infrastructure, data center, and advanced manufacturing projects. Trailing twelve month mature rental location adjusted EBITDA margin was 55%, highlighting strong organic unit economics and the embedded earnings power of our footprint as it matures. The quarter’s strong financial performance reinforces the strength of our technology-enabled organic growth model, the value T3 brings to larger and more complex jobsites, and our continued focus on scaling EquipmentShare with discipline and attractive returns.”
“What we're seeing every day with customers is that large, complex jobsites need more than equipment availability. They need visibility, control, and faster execution,” said Willy Schlacks, Founder and President of EquipmentShare. “T3 is the live operating layer across equipment, access control, service, utilization, and jobsite activity that delivers that. T3 also what makes AI meaningful for construction by turning actual jobsite data into improved uptime, smarter service prioritization, and greater customer control. Our strong first quarter financial performance reflects growing customer demand for an integrated platform over fragmented alternatives, and that momentum continues to accelerate.”

First Quarter 2026 Results
•Rental Segment(2) revenue increased 37% to $764 million due to significant customer demand which drove continued expansion of the Company’s operational location footprint and an increase in the size of the Company’s managed fleet.
•Equipment sales (“Sales Segment”) revenue increased 23% to $179 million due to a $27 million increase in sales of new and used equipment to contractors and other end users, supported by our expanded branch footprint, and a $7 million increase in disciplined, selective placements into the OWN Program. Investor demand for the OWN Program remains oversubscribed.
•Net loss decreased by $19 million to $29 million due to $11 million of higher operating income, partially offset by $5 million of higher total other expenses, net and $13 million of higher income tax benefit. Adjusted net loss decreased by $36 million to $12 million and adjusted net income increased by $80 million to $75 million on a TTM basis.
•Adjusted Core EBITDA increased $110 million to $399 million due to the continued expansion of our full-service rental location footprint and maturation of existing rental sites within the Rental Segment(2)(6). The Company believes the earnings power embedded in our branch network continues to increase as recently opened locations mature, which should support earnings growth and margin expansion over time.
•The Company opened 22 operational locations during the first quarter, including 19 full-service rental locations and 3 building material locations.

Trailing Twelve Month Financial Information
This press release includes certain unaudited financial information for the trailing twelve months (“TTM”) ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, which is calculated as the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, plus the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 less the three months ended March 31, 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 presentation include, but are not limited to, “EBITDA”, “Adjusted Earnings Per Share”, “Adjusted Net (Loss) 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 (Loss) 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 (Loss) Income is defined as net (loss) income adjusted to exclude stock based compensation expense related to the IPO Founders Awards. The Company believes Adjusted Net (Loss) 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 (Loss) Income less deemed dividends on perpetual preferred stock divided by adjusted fully diluted weighted average diluted 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 startup 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
A - 4
(i) OWN program payouts and (ii) new market startup 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 startup 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 startup 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.
