COLUMBIA, Mo., May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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.

The Company's original equipment cost ("OEC") under management increased $285 million in the first quarter to $9,065 million comprising of $3,930 million of EquipmentShare owned fleet, $5,056 million of OWN Program fleet, and $79 million of equipment on operating leases. In addition, the appraised value of the OWN Program fleet was $4,039 million as of March 31, 2026.

Net rental equipment capex(7) for the first quarter was $213 million after gross purchases of rental equipment of $328 million, and was $616 million after gross purchases of rental equipment of $1,815 million for the trailing twelve month period.

As of March 31, 2026, total available liquidity was $1,605 million, which included availability on the asset-based revolving credit facility of $1,276 million and cash and cash equivalents of $329 million.

Net leverage(8) decreased to 2.8x as of March 31, 2026, from 3.2x as of March 31, 2025.

We cannot 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.
