Alta Equipment Group Q3 2026 earnings summary
Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Q3 2026 earnings summary10 Nov, 2026
Executive summary
Q3 revenue declined 1.2% YoY to $417.4M; Adjusted EBITDA rose 7.7% to $44.9M, with margin up 90 bps to 10.8%.
Construction Equipment growth, higher service margins, lower costs and reduced fleet investment supported profitability and cash generation despite weaker Material Handling sales.
Material Handling bookings and backlog strengthened, but delivery timing shifted some expected revenue into Q1 2027; management described a constructive 2027 setup without formal guidance.
Financial highlights
Q3 gross profit was $117.3M, down 0.4% YoY; operating income increased to $7.2M from $4.8M.
Net loss available to common shareholders was $12.2M versus $42.3M in Q3 2025.
Q3 operating expenses fell $2.9M to $110.1M; interest expense decreased $2.5M YoY to $19.9M.
Nine-month operating cash flow was $58.8M versus a $0.9M outflow; cash flow after investing activities was $52.8M, a $73.0M YoY improvement.
Nine-month revenue declined 1.8% to $1,303.4M and Adjusted EBITDA was $121.6M versus $123.8M.
Outlook and guidance
FY2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance was reduced to $165M–$170M from $167.5M–$177.5M, mainly due to delayed Material Handling backlog conversion.
FY2026 free cash flow before rent-to-sell decisioning guidance was lowered to $95M–$105M from $100M–$110M.
Elevated Material Handling backlog is expected to convert through Q4 and Q1 2027; late-Q4 deliveries may not generate revenue until Q1 after dealer preparation.
Year-end 2026 total net debt / Adjusted EBITDA guidance is below 4.6x; management expects product support and rental performance to exceed prior-year levels.
Rental fleet is targeted below $500M by year-end from $508.9M at Q3 close; potential strategic additions are expected to be modest.
