Custom Truck One Source, Inc. (NYSE:CTOS), a leading provider of specialty equipment to the electric utility, telecom, rail, and other infrastructure-related end markets, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. All comparisons are to the comparable period in the prior year unless otherwise noted.

CTOS Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Highlights

Record fourth quarter revenue of $528.2 million, an increase of $7.4 million or 1.4%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024
Record full-year revenue of $1,944.0 million, an increase of 7.9%, compared to 2024
Quarterly net income of $20.9 million, compared to net income of $27.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024
Full-year net loss of $31.1 million compared to a net loss of $28.7 million in 2024
Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA of $120.7 million, an increase of $18.7 million or 18.4%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024
Full-year Adjusted EBITDA of $383.6 million, an increase of $43.9 million, or 12.9%, compared to 2024 full-year Adjusted EBITDA of $339.7 million
Quarterly average OEC on rent increased by $165.9 million, or 13.7%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024
Full-year average OEC on rent increased by $154.8 million, or 14.1%, compared to 2024
Fleet utilization of 83.6% (highest in nearly three years)
Sales order backlog ended the year at $335.3 million, up $55.5 million sequentially

"In the fourth quarter, we achieved record quarterly revenue, as well as sequential and year-over-year improvement in both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, delivering 18% Adjusted EBITDA growth in the quarter and 13% for the full year. The significant improvements in our core T&D markets that we experienced in the third quarter continued into the fourth quarter, positioning our ERS segment to finish the year with 20% revenue growth in the fourth quarter and 17% for the full year. For the quarter, our rental fleet achieved average utilization of almost 84%, the highest levels in nearly three years. We ended the year with total OEC of $1.64 billion, the highest in our history, which should support our expected growth within ERS in 2026," said Ryan McMonagle, Chief Executive Officer of CTOS. "TES finished the year with strong performance, achieving record annual revenue of just under $1.1 billion, up 4% for the full year. Anticipated seasonal trends, as well as sustained demand for vocational vehicles across our end markets continued to drive record performance within the TES segment. We made progress reducing our inventory in the fourth quarter, with inventory declining more than $100 million, which sets us up well for 2026, as we remain focused on working capital management, free cash flow generation and continued deleveraging. We are optimistic about 2026, as CTOS is well-positioned to benefit from secular tailwinds driven by data center investments, electrification, infrastructure investment and utility grid upgrades, leading to another year of expected growth across our segments," McMonagle added.

(a)		Ending OEC — Ending original equipment cost ("OEC") is the original equipment cost of units at the end of the measurement period.
(b)		Average OEC on rent — Average OEC on rent is calculated as the weighted-average OEC on rent during the stated period.
(c)		Fleet utilization — 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.
(d)		OEC on rent yield ("ORY") — 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 of less than 12 months, the ORY is adjusted to an annualized basis.
(e)		Sales order backlog — purchase orders received for customized and stock equipment. Sales order backlog should not be considered an accurate measure of future net sales.

Management Commentary

The 13.5% increase in ERS segment rental revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 was the result of improved average fleet utilization (which increased to 83.6% compared to 78.9%) driven by increased rental volume, with average OEC on rent increasing by 13.7% year-over-year. The 35.6% increase in rental equipment sales in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 was the result of higher year-end buyout activity of rental contracts with purchase options. ERS gross profit and adjusted gross profit increased 21.6% and 19.1%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

Revenue in our TES segment decreased 7.7% in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, driven by higher mid-year customer capital expenditure spending that pulled equipment purchases forward in anticipation of potential tariffs, price increases, and an atypical year-end buying pattern with certain customers deferring deliveries into 2026, reducing year-end demand in certain areas of the business. Gross profit decreased by 13.1% in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, due to continued pricing pressures on truck sales. However, strong order intake led to a $30 million increase in TES backlog at the end of the fourth quarter compared to the end of the third quarter of 2025 and remains in our expected range of four to six months.

APS segment revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased by $3.4 million or 8.5% primarily due to softer demand across parts, tools and accessories, and lower service activity in the quarter. Gross profit margin was flat at 27.0% in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.

The decrease in net income in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024 was primarily the result of the $23.5 million gain on a sale leaseback transaction that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2024, partially offset by an increase in gross profit, lower selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense and a larger tax benefit.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $120.7 million, an 18.4% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, which was largely driven by increased operating income, excluding the gain on sale leaseback transaction in 2024, and lower floor plan interest expense resulting from lower inventory levels.

As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents was $6.3 million; Total Debt outstanding was $1,660.8 million; Net debt was $1,654.5 million and Net Leverage Ratio was 4.3 times. Availability under the senior secured credit facility was $248.1 million as of December 31, 2025, and based on our borrowing base, we have an additional $200.8 million of availability that we can potentially utilize by upsizing our existing facility.

New Segment Presentation

Beginning with the three months ending March 31, 2026, CTOS will report our results under two reportable segments: (1) Specialty Equipment Rentals ("SER") and (2) Specialty Truck Equipment and Manufacturing ("STEM"). Upon implementation, the new SER segment will consist of our historical ERS segment and a portion of our historical APS segment, and the new STEM segment will consist of our historical TES segment and a portion of our historical APS segment. We will also begin reflecting intercompany activity between the two segments, which will ultimately be eliminated in consolidation. This new segment reporting reflects how CTOS's business is managed and how resources are allocated in 2026, and management believes this new presentation better reflects the positioning of CTOS's strategies and operations portfolio. Management expects to provide more information as well as to recast guidance based on the new two segments in early April. We believe our new segment realignment will better reflect key economic drivers, capital intensity, and margin profiles of the respective new segments, as well as align our external reporting with how management allocates capital and evaluates performance.

2026 Outlook

We are providing our full year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA^{1, 4} guidance for 2026 at this time:

Consolidated CTOS:

Revenue is expected to increase 3% to 9% year-over-year, with Adjusted EBITDA^{1, 4} expected to increase 7% to 13%
Net rental fleet investment (purchases less proceeds) is expected to be approximately $150 million to $170 million, with mid-single digit net OEC growth, reflecting a meaningful reduction from over $250 million in 2025
Inventory months on hand is expected to continue trending toward the targeted level of below six months, supporting working capital improvement
Levered free cash flow^{2, 4} is expected to exceed $50 million and net leverage ratio is expected to be meaningfully below four times by the end of fiscal 2026; the longer-term target remains achieving a net leverage ratio^{3, 4}below three times in 2027

Equipment Rental Solutions (ERS):

OEC on rent and utilization reached historically high levels in the second half of fiscal 2025, and the Company expects these trends to continue in 2026
Demand for equipment serving the transmission and distribution utility market remains at record levels, and further penetration of the vocational rental market is expected to provide incremental growth
Average fleet age ended 2025 at just over 2.9 years, which positions the Company to reduce rental fleet investment while continuing to pursue growth

Truck and Equipment Sales (TES):

Demand across end markets and relationships with key customers, chassis suppliers, and attachment suppliers are expected to support performance in 2026
Sales order backlog increased by over $55 million (nearly 20%) in the fourth quarter and remains within the targeted range of four to six months LTM TES new sales

"Looking ahead, our focus in 2026 is on disciplined execution – translating strong end-market demand into profitable growth, free cash flow generation, and further balance sheet improvement. With a younger, highly utilized fleet and improving working capital dynamics, we believe CTOS is positioned to drive higher returns on invested capital while maintaining financial flexibility as we invest selectively to support our customers' long-term needs, and to translate that into meaningful free cash flow generation," said Ryan McMonagle, Chief Executive Officer of CTOS.

2026 Consolidated Outlook
Revenue	$2,005 million	—	$2,120 million
Adjusted EBITDA^{1, 4}	$410 million	—	$435 million

2026 Revenue Outlook by Segment
ERS	$725 million	—	$760 million
TES	$1,125 million	—	$1,200 million
APS	$155 million	—	$160 million

1		Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure that we use to monitor our results of operations, to measure performance against debt covenants and performance relative to competitors. Refer to the section below entitled, "Non-GAAP Financial and Performance Measures" for further information about Adjusted EBITDA.
2		Levered Free Cash Flow is defined as 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.
3		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. Refer to the section below entitled "Non-GAAP Financial and Performance Measures" for further information about net leverage ratio.
4		CTOS is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, Levered Free Cash Flow, and Net Leverage Ratio for the year ending December 31, 2026 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 Free 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.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES

In our press release and schedules, and on the related conference call, we report certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We utilize these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis and some of these measures are commonly used in our industry to evaluate performance by excluding items considered to be non-recurring. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors expanded insight to assess performance, in addition to the standard GAAP-based financial measures. The press release schedules reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure that we refer to. Although management evaluates and presents these non-GAAP measures for the reasons described herein, please be aware that these non-GAAP measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, operating income/loss, net income/loss, earnings/loss per share or any other comparable measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, we may calculate and/or present these non-GAAP financial measures differently than measures with the same or similar names that other companies report, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure that we use to monitor our results of operations, to measure performance against debt covenants and performance relative to competitors. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it allows for an effective evaluation of operating performance, without regard to financing methods or capital structures. We exclude the items identified in the reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts are either non-recurring or can vary substantially within the industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, including the method by which the assets were acquired, and capital structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historical costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that results will be unaffected by the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, and other items that we do not view as indicative of ongoing performance. Our Adjusted EBITDA includes an adjustment to exclude the effects of purchase accounting adjustments when calculating the cost of inventory and used equipment sold. When inventory or equipment is purchased in connection with a business combination, the assets are revalued to their current fair values for accounting purposes. The consideration transferred (i.e., the purchase price) in a business combination is allocated to the fair values of the assets as of the acquisition date, with amortization or depreciation recorded thereafter following applicable accounting policies; however, this may not be indicative of the actual cost to acquire inventory or new equipment that is added to product inventory or the rental fleets apart from a business acquisition. We also include an adjustment to remove the impact of accounting for certain of our rental contracts with customers containing a rental purchase option that are accounted for under GAAP as a sales-type lease. We include this adjustment because 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. These, and other, adjustments to GAAP net income or loss that are applied to derive Adjusted EBITDA are specified by our senior secured credit agreement and the indenture of our senior secured notes.

Adjusted Gross Profit. We present total gross profit excluding rental equipment depreciation ("Adjusted Gross Profit") as a non-GAAP financial performance measure. This measure differs from the GAAP definition of gross profit, as we do not include the impact of depreciation expense, which represents non-cash expense. We use this measure to evaluate operating margins and the effectiveness of the cost of our rental fleet.

Net Debt. We present the non-GAAP financial measure "Net Debt," which is total debt (the most comparable GAAP measure, calculated as current and long-term debt, excluding deferred financing fees, plus current and long-term finance lease obligations) minus cash and cash equivalents. We believe this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors to evaluate our financial position.

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.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), as adjusted for provision for income taxes, interest expense, net, 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.

(1)		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.
(2)		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/preopenings 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.
(3)		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. The components of this adjustment are presented in the table below:

(4)		During Q4 2024, the Company closed on a sale leaseback transaction with an unrelated third party. The Company sold 8 properties with a combined net book value of $29.0 million for gross proceeds of $53.8 million, which was reduced by transaction costs and other fees of $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.
(5)		Represents non-cash share-based compensation expense associated with the issuance of stock options and restricted stock units.
(6)		Represents the charge to earnings for the change in fair value of the liability for warrants. On July 31, 2024, all of the Company's stock purchase warrants expired and unexercised.
