Elevated period of capital investment in fleet now behind us - average unit age now <3 years, among lowest in the industry
Expect reduced maintenance capex in 2026 which should also support
improved levered cash flow
Expect to continue to reduce inventory in 2026 and to focus levered cash flow on debt reduction
Remain committed to achieving net leverage meaningfully below 4x in fiscal 2026
Targeting 3x net leverage in 2027
Growth Capex is defined as fleet additions in excess of maintenance and replacement requirements, resulting in a net increase in earning assets and revenue capacity.
Net Rental Capex is defined as total capital expenditures for the rental fleet less cash proceeds from the sale of vehicles from the rental fleet.

We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of our forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, Levered Cash Flow, and Net Leverage Ratio for the year ending December 31, 2026 and future periods to their respective most directly comparable GAAP financial measure due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect such GAAP measures including, but not limited to, customer buyout requests on rentals with rental purchase options and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA, Levered Cash Flow, and Net Leverage Ratio should not be used to predict their respective most directly comparable GAAP measure as the differences between the respective measures are variable and unpredictable.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company realigned its reportable segments from three segments (ERS, TES and APS) to two segment: SER and STEM. Historical period results have been recast to conform to the current segment alignment. Please refer to the Appendix of this document for the calculation of the respective figures.
29
Adjusted EBITDA, Levered Cash Flow and Net Leverage Ratio are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the Appendix of this document for definitions of each. Please refer to the supplemental information provided in the appendices of investor presentations (available on our Investor Relations website) for reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Levered Cash Flow and Net Leverage Ratio to the most comparable GAAP measure.
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.
Adjusted Gross Profit - Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as Gross Profit excluding depreciation of rental equipment and is a financial performance measure that we use to monitor our results from operations. We believe the exclusion of depreciation expense of the rental fleet provides a meaningful measure of financial performance because it provides useful information relating to profitability that reflects ongoing and direct operating expenses, such as freight costs and fleet maintenance costs, related to our rental fleet. Although management evaluates and presents this non-GAAP measure for the reasons described herein, please be aware that this non-GAAP measure has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, gross profit or any other comparable operating measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, we may calculate and/or present this non-GAAP financial measure differently than measures with the same or similar names that other companies report, and as a result, the non-GAAP measure we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA - Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), 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, 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 sales-type lease and stock compensation expense. This non-GAAP measure is subject to certain limitations.
Segment 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").
Levered Cash Flow - Net cash provided by operating activities, less cash flow for investing activities, excluding acquisitions, plus acquisition of inventory through floor plan payables - non-trade less repayment of floor plan payables - non-trade, both of which are included in cash flow from financing activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Net Leverage Ratio - Net leverage ratio is a non-GAAP performance measure used by management and we believe it provides useful information to investors because it is an important measure to evaluate our debt levels and progress toward leverage targets, which is consistent with the manner our lenders and management use this measure. We define net leverage ratio as net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the previous twelve-month period ("last twelve months," or "LTM").

This non-GAAP measure is subject to certain limitations.
Represents the non-cash impact of purchase accounting, net of accumulated depreciation, on the cost of equipment and inventory sold. The equipment and inventory acquired received a purchase accounting step-up in basis, which is a non-cash adjustment to the equipment cost pursuant to our ABL Credit Agreement and Indenture.
Represents transaction and other 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 or equipment conversion costs. These adjustments are presented as adjustments to net income (loss) pursuant to our ABL Credit Agreement and Indenture.
Represents the impact of sales-type lease accounting for certain leases containing rental purchase options (or "RPOs"), as the application of sales-type lease accounting is not deemed to be representative of the ongoing cash flows of the underlying rental contracts. The adjustments are made pursuant to our ABL Credit Agreement and Indenture.

$1.3 million, for net cash proceeds of approximately $52.5 million. Additionally, $3.2 million from the proceeds were used to repay a note payable. The Company recognized a gain of $23.5 million on this transaction.
