| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $1.9B | +7.9% | +22.1% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $-31.1M | -8.4% | +353.5% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +18.9% | -0.8% | +0.3% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +7.3% | +8.7% | +21.9% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | -1.6% | -0.5% | +307.7% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $-107.6M | +69.6% | -1102.4% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | -5.5% | +71.8% | -921.3% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 298.8% | +6.1% | -3.8% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 1.33x | +2.0% | +3.6% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $3.7B | +6.7% | +1.6% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | -0.14 vs -0.16 | +12.3% | 0.05 vs 0.01 | +443.6% |
| Revenue Surprise | $1.9B vs $2.0B | -2.8% | $563.4M vs $516.6M | +9.1% |

Operator : Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and welcome to Custom Truck One Source's Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. Please note, this conference call is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference call over to your host today, Brian Perman, Vice President of Investor Relations for Custom Truck One Source. Brian Perman : Thank you, operator, and good morning. Before we begin, we would like to remind you that management's commentary and responses to questions on today's call may include forward-looking statements, which, by their nature, are uncertain and outside of the company's control. Although these forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and beliefs, actual results may differ materially. For a discussion of some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ, please refer to the Risk Factors section of the company's filings with the SEC. Additionally, please note that you can find reconciliations of the historical non-GAAP financial measures discussed during the call in the press release we issued yesterday after the market closed. That press release and our second quarter investor presentation are posted on the Investor Relations section of our website. Yesterday afternoon, we also filed our second quarter 2026 10-Q with the SEC. Today's discussion of our results of operations for Custom Truck One Source Inc., or Custom Truck, is presented on a historical basis as of or for the 3 months ended June 30, 2026, and prior periods. Also a reminder that beginning last quarter, our financial reporting now reflects our 2 new reportable segments: Specialty Equipment Rentals, or SER, and Specialty Truck Equipment and Manufacturing, or STEM. While our 2026 results in our earnings press release and SEC filing reflect the application of intersegment pricing and margins as per accounting requirements for intersegment sales, the segment results for 2025 reflect the intersegment sales with no margin as no intersegment agreement was in place in the period. For an illustrative comparison of what the 2025 results would have been had intersegment sales been reflected with the appropriate gross margin and had other internal accounting policies been in place at the time, please see the appendix of the Q2 investor presentation posted on our Investor Relations website. Joining me today are Ryan McMonagle, CEO; and Chris Eperjesy, CFO. I will now turn the call over to Ryan. Ryan McMonagle : Thanks, Brian, and good morning, everyone. We delivered record revenue in the second quarter, capping a strong first half, driven by continued strong momentum in our core end markets and outstanding execution by our team. In the second quarter, we generated revenue of $563 million and adjusted EBITDA of $117 million, up 10% and 25% year-over-year, respectively. Our Specialty Equipment Rental segment continues to deliver consistently strong performance, driven by sustained and growing demand …
