Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions.

Commitments and contingencies · 2,732 characters as filed

Note 12: Commitments and Contingencies We record a liability when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. We review these provisions at least quarterly and adjust these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. Legal Matters In the normal course of business, there are various claims in process, matters in litigation, and other contingencies. At this time, no claims of these types, certain of which are covered by insurance policies, have had a material effect on the Company. Certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates do not allow insurance recoveries related to punitive damages. For matters pertaining to the pre-acquisition activities of Custom Truck One Source, L.P. (Custom Truck LP), the sellers of Custom Truck LP have agreed to indemnify the Company for losses arising out of the breach of pre-closing covenants in the purchase agreement and certain indemnified tax matters discussed below, with recourse limited to $10.0 million and $5.0 million escrow accounts, respectively. From time to time, the Company is audited by state and local taxing authorities. These audits typically focus on the Companys withholding of state-specific sales tax and rental-related taxes. Custom Truck LPs withholdings of federal excise taxes for each of

Fair value · 1,363 characters as filed

Note 10: Fair Value Measurements The FASB accounting standards provide a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. The following table sets forth the carrying values (exclusive of deferred financing fees) and fair values of our financial liabilities: Carrying Value Fair Value (in $000s) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 March 31, 2026 ABL Facility $ 687,975 $ $ 687,975 $ 2029 Secured Notes 920,000 896,425 2023 Credit Facility 17,203 17,203 Other notes payable 23,312 23,312 December 31, 2025 ABL Facility $ 697,975 $ $ 697,975 $ 2029 Secured Notes 920,000 901,600 2023 Credit Facility 17,297 17,297 Other notes payable 25,487 25,487 The carrying amounts of the ABL Facility, 2023 Credit Facility and other notes payable approximated fair value as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, based upon terms and conditions available to the Company at those dates in comparison to the terms and conditions of its outstanding debt. The estimated fair value of the 2029 Secured Notes is calculated using Level 2 inputs, based on bid prices obtained from brokers.

Income taxes · 1,950 characters as filed

Note 11: Income Taxes Interim Income Tax Expense (Benefit) Our income tax expense or benefit reflects a combination of income taxes in foreign jurisdictions and certain U.S. states. We have federal and state net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) and non-deductible interest expense carryforwards in the U.S. that may be applied to reduce taxable income in current and future tax years. Some of these carryforwards are subject to annual usage limitations and expiration, while other state NOLs and a portion of federal NOLs do not have limitations or expiration. We carry a valuation allowance against our U.S. carryforwards, which results in no net income tax expense in our earnings in periods when additional NOLs are generated or when existing NOLs are utilized. Certain states that we operate in have rules regarding the deductibility of items that diverge from U.S. federal deductibility rules and in addition, a number of these states have placed limitations on the usage of NOLs to offset taxable income apportioned to those states. Our overall effective tax rate is affected by a number of factors, including the relative amounts of income we earn in different tax jurisdictions, tax law changes, certain non-deductible expenses, the changes in our valuation allowance and divergence of state rules from federal rules. The factors result in an effective tax rate that differs from statutory rates. The Companys effective income tax rate was (7.8)% for the three months ended March 31, 2026,

Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued ASU 2025-11 Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (ASU 2025-11), which is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. ASU 2025-11 also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, interim disclosures requirements, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact ASU 2025-11 may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-06, Intangibles Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (ASU 2025-06), which amends the guidance for accounting for software costs to reflect current software development practices, including iterative and agile methodologies, by removing references to development stages.

Segment reporting · 6,749 characters as filed

"Note 14: Segments Our operations are primarily organized and managed by operating segment. Beginning January 1, 2026, we revised our reportable segments to combine our legacy ERS segment (excluding certain used sales) with the rental-related aftermarket activities portion of our legacy APS segment to form SER and to combine our legacy TES segment (plus certain used sales previously accounted for by ERS) with the sales-related aftermarket activities portion of our legacy APS segment to form STEM. Prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the change to two reportable segments. Under this new segment reporting, operating segment performance and resource allocations are based on Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as segment operating income or loss before depreciation and amortization, further excluding the effects of purchase accounting adjustments and the impact of sales-type lease accounting for certain leases containing rental purchase options (or RPOs). Adjusted EBITDA aids the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) in managing the inventory levels and rental fleet, entering into significant revenue contracts, expanding into new markets or launching new products, making capital expenditures, designing and implementing key marketing strategies, making personnel changes, and approving operating budgets. Additionally, the new segment structure better represents the financial profile and economics of our rental and sales and manufacturing businesses. Sign
