Status update summary
1 Apr, 2026Overview of new segment reporting framework
Transitioning from three segments to two: Specialty Equipment Rentals (SER) and Specialty Truck Equipment and Manufacturing (STEM), effective Q1 2026, with operations already aligned since January 1, 2024.
APS activities are now split between SER and STEM based on whether they are rental- or sales-led, eliminating APS as a standalone segment.
Historical results recast for 2024 and 2025 for comparability, with direct SG&A now allocated to segments and segment-level adjusted EBITDA reported.
No impact to consolidated GAAP results, free cash flow, net leverage, or capital allocation strategy; only internal accounting for intersegment transactions changes.
Shared corporate expenses (~$99M in 2025) remain outside segments for clarity.
Rationale and benefits of realignment
New structure aligns external reporting with internal management and decision-making, reflecting how management evaluates the business.
Provides clear separation between rental and sales/manufacturing businesses, improving visibility into margin, capital intensity, and segment performance.
Enhances investor transparency and peer comparability, allowing each segment to highlight its performance.
Simplifies reporting by integrating APS activities into the most relevant segment.
No change to customer strategy, go-to-market approach, or leadership structure.
Segment definitions and key metrics
SER includes most of the legacy ERS segment and rental-related APS; STEM includes legacy TES, certain used sales, and sales-related APS.
SER key metrics: revenue by category, gross profit/margin, adjusted EBITDA, utilization, OEC on rent, on-rent yield, net capex, fleet size/age, asset-level returns.
STEM key metrics: revenue by category, gross profit/margin, adjusted EBITDA, new sales backlog, net order trends.
Segment-level reporting includes revenue, gross profit, and adjusted EBITDA after direct SG&A allocations.
Inter-segment transactions use cost-plus methodology (10% margin for used equipment, 16% for new equipment transfers).
