EquipmentShare Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results with Accelerated Organic Growth and Margin Expansion

COLUMBIA, Mo., Nov. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EquipmentShare.com Inc (Nasdaq: EQPT) (“EquipmentShare” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026 which can be found on EquipmentShare’s website at https://ir.equipmentshare.com/.

Third Quarter Highlights

• Total revenue increased 55% year over year to $1,468 million.

• Rental Segment⁽¹⁾ revenue growth accelerated to 49% year over year, reaching $1,113 million on 32% growth in OEC⁽²⁾.

• Net income was $20 million, compared to $6 million in the third quarter 2025.

• Adjusted Net Income⁽³⁾ was $46 million, compared to $6 million in the third quarter 2025.

• Rental Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 52% year over year to $491 million, with margin expanding approximately 70 basis points year over year and 130 basis points sequentially to 44%.

• Mature rental locations⁽¹⁾⁽⁴⁾ Adjusted EBITDA margins were 54% on a TTM⁽⁵⁾ basis.

“We delivered another exceptional quarter, with 32% growth in OEC producing 49% growth in Rental Segment revenue and 52% growth in Rental Segment Adjusted EBITDA, while margins expanded both year over year and sequentially,” said Jabbok Schlacks, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of EquipmentShare. “Strong fleet absorption and the maturation of our network were meaningful drivers of that performance. Mature rental locations generated 54% margins on a trailing twelve-month basis and we expect over 260 mature sites by year-end, up 76 since the start of 2026. Alongside that, customers are taking on larger, more complex projects and consolidating their spend with us on one platform that combines equipment, technology and service. Given our visibility into customer demand, we are confident in our full-year 2026 outlook and see an opportunity to outperform it.”

“Construction teams have no patience for technology that adds steps, so we build T3 to be intuitive, reliable and useful in the flow of work,” said Willy Schlacks, Founder and President of EquipmentShare. “This quarter we advanced touchless equipment access, machine-mounted 360-degree safety and capture systems, and our next-generation telemetry device. Across all three, the goal is the same: make the equipment more useful and give customers better visibility and control.”

Financial Summary

Third Quarter 2026 Results

• Rental Segment⁽¹⁾ revenue increased 49% to $1,113 million due to significant customer demand and strong fleet absorption. These factors underscore the continued expansion of the Company’s operational location footprint and an increase in the size of the Company’s managed fleet and pricing and equipment mix.

• Sales Segment⁽⁸⁾ revenue increased 76% to $294 million due to a $139 million increase in disciplined, selective placements into the OWN Program, partially offset by a decrease of $12 million in the sale of new and used equipment to contractors and other end users.

• Net income increased by $14 million to $20 million due to $53 million of higher operating income, partially offset by $32 million of higher total other expense, net and $7 million of higher income tax provision. Excluding stock-based compensation expense of $26 million related to the IPO Founders Awards, Adjusted Net Income increased in the third quarter by $40 million to $46 million and Adjusted Net Income increased by $118 million to $143 million on a TTM basis.

• Adjusted Core EBITDA increased $170 million to $594 million due to the continued expansion of our full-service rental location footprint and maturation of existing rental sites within the Rental Segment. 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 18 operational locations during the third quarter, including 17 full-service rental locations and 1 building material location.

• The Company’s OEC under management increased $812 million in the third quarter to $10,663 million comprising of $4,816 million of EquipmentShare owned fleet, $5,765 million of OWN Program fleet, and $82 million of equipment on operating leases. In addition, the appraised value of the OWN Program fleet was $4,213 million as of September 30, 2026.

• Net rental equipment capex⁽⁹⁾ for the third quarter was $590 million after gross purchases of rental equipment of $822 million, and was $1,052 million after gross purchases of rental equipment of $2,322 million for the TTM period.

• As of September 30, 2026, total available liquidity was $2,298 million, which included undrawn availability on the asset-based revolving credit facility of $1,939 million and cash and cash equivalents of $359 million.

• Net leverage⁽¹⁰⁾ decreased to 3.4x as of September 30, 2026, from 3.7x as of September 30, 2025.

2026 Outlook

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.
