Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
Results of Operations
General
The Company, incorporated in 1979, is a leading rental provider of relocatable modular buildings for classroom and office space, portable storage containers, and electronic test equipment for general purpose and communications needs. The Company’s primary emphasis is on equipment rentals. At December 31, 2025 the Company was comprised of four reportable business segments: (1) its modular building rental segment (“Mobile Modular”); (2) its portable storage container rental segment ("Portable Storage"); (3) its electronic test equipment rental segment (“TRS-RenTelco”); and (4) its classroom manufacturing segment selling modular buildings used primarily as classrooms in California (“Enviroplex”). In 2025, Mobile Modular, Portable Storage, TRS-RenTelco and Enviroplex contributed 66%, 12%, 16% and 6%, respectively, of the Company’s income from continuing operations before provision for taxes (the equivalent of “pre-tax income”), compared to 69%, 16%, 12% and 3%, respectively, for 2024.
The Company generates its revenues primarily from the rental of its equipment on operating leases with sales of equipment occurring in the normal course of business. The Company requires significant capital outlay to purchase its rental inventory and recovers its investment through rental and sales revenues. Rental revenue and certain other service revenues negotiated as part of the lease agreements with customers and related costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the lease. Sales revenue and related costs are recognized upon delivery and installation of the equipment to the customers. Sales revenues are less predictable and can fluctuate from period to period depending on customer demands and requirements. Generally, rental revenues less cash operating costs recover the equipment’s capitalized cost in a shorter period of time relative to the equipment’s potential rental life and when sold, sale proceeds are usually above its net book value.
The Company’s rental operations include rental and rental related services revenues which comprised approximately 70% of the Company’s total revenues from continuing operations in 2025 and 72% for the three years ended December 31, 2025. Over the past three years, modulars, storage containers and electronic test equipment comprised approximately 68%, 14% and 18%, respectively, of the cumulative rental operations revenues from continuing operations. The Company’s direct costs of rental operations include depreciation of rental equipment, rental related service costs, impairment of rental equipment, and other direct costs of rental operations (which include direct labor, supplies, repairs, insurance, property taxes, license fees and amortization of certain lease costs).
The Company sells modulars, storage containers and electronic test equipment that are new, or previously rented. The Company’s Enviroplex subsidiary manufactures and sells new modular classrooms. The renting and selling of some modular equipment requires a dealer’s license, which the Company has obtained from the appropriate governmental agencies. Sales and other revenues of modulars, containers and electronic test equipment have comprised approximately 30% of the Company’s consolidated revenues from continuing operations in 2025 and 28% for the three years ended December 31, 2025. Over the past three years, modulars, containers and electronic test equipment comprised approximately 84%, 3% and 13% of sales and other revenues, respectively. The Company’s cost of sales includes the carrying value of the equipment sold and the direct costs associated with the equipment sold such as delivery, installation, modifications and related site work.
The rental and sale of modulars to public school districts comprised 25%, 24% and 18% of the Company’s consolidated rental and sales revenues from continuing operations for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. (For more information, see “Item 1. Business – Relocatable Modular Buildings – Classroom Rentals and Sales to Public Schools (K-12)” above.)
Selling and administrative expenses primarily include personnel and benefit costs, which includes share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, credit losses, advertising costs, and professional service fees. The Company believes that sharing of common facilities, financing, senior management, and operating and accounting systems by all of the Company’s operations, results in an efficient use of overhead. Historically, the Company’s operating margins have been impacted favorably to the extent its costs and expenses are leveraged over a large installed customer base. However, there can be no assurance as to the Company’s ability to maintain a large installed customer base or ability to sustain its historical operating margins.
Recent Developments
Dividends
In February 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.495 per common share for the quarter ending March 31, 2026, an increase of 2% over the prior year’s comparable quarter.

Overview
Consolidated revenues in 2025 increased 4% to $944.2 million, from $910.9 million in 2024. Consolidated net income in 2025 decreased to $156.3 million, or $6.35 per diluted share in 2025, compared to $231.7 million, or $9.43 per diluted share, in 2024. The decrease in consolidated net income and earnings per diluted share during the year was primarily attributed to the terminated Merger Agreement in 2024 which provided a $180.0 million gain on merger termination, partly offset by $63.2 million in transaction costs, net of provision for income taxes. Excluding the gain and transaction costs attributed to the merger termination in the prior year, the Company's net income increased by approximately $10.9 million, or 7%, to $156.3 million, and diluted earnings per share increased $0.43, or 7%, to $6.35, compared to $5.92 in 2024. The Company’s year over year total revenue increase was primarily due to higher rental operations and sales revenues, as more fully described below.
For 2025 compared to 2024, on a consolidated basis from continuing operations:
Gross profit increased $19.6 million, or 4%, to $455.0 million. Mobile Modular’s gross profit increased $6.0 million, or 2%, primarily due to higher gross profit on rental operations revenues. Portable Storage's gross profit decreased $5.2 million, or 8%, due to lower gross profit on rental operations revenues, partly offset by an increase in gross profit on sales revenues. TRS-RenTelco’s gross profit increased $12.2 million, or 22%, primarily due to higher gross profit on both rental operations and sales revenues. Enviroplex’s gross profit increased $6.6 million, primarily due to $11.6 million higher sales revenues and increased gross margin on sales revenues of 32.4%, compared to 26.1% in 2024.
Selling and administrative expenses increased $10.9 million, or 5%, to $211.4 million, primarily due to $5.1 million higher employee salaries and benefit costs and a $5.0 million increase in marketing and administrative expenses in 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred $63.2 million in transaction costs related to the Merger Agreement with Willscot Mobile Mini that was terminated September 20, 2024. These significant costs that did not recur during the year ended December 31, 2025, are reported separately on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
Other income, net was $9.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, a result of the sale of a corporate property. These types of transactions are infrequent in nature and did not recur for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Interest expense decreased $16.6 million, due to 23% lower average debt levels of the Company, accompanied by 15% lower net average interest rates of 5.48% in 2025 compared to 6.48% in 2024.
Pre-tax income contribution by Mobile Modular, Portable Storage and TRS-RenTelco was 66%, 12% and 16%, respectively, compared to 69%, 16% and 12%, respectively, in 2024. These results are discussed on a segment basis below. Pre-tax income contribution by Enviroplex was 6% for 2025, compared to 3% in 2024.
The provision for income taxes resulted in an effective tax rate of 26.6% and 26.1% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA increased $10.7 million, or 3%, to $362.5 million in 2025. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash impairment costs, share-based compensation and transaction costs. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities and net income to Adjusted EBITDA can be found on page 46.
Mobile Modular
For 2025, Mobile Modular’s total revenues increased $9.8 million, or 2%, to $645.1 million compared to 2024, primarily due to higher rental operations revenues, partly offset by lower sales and other revenues. Higher gross profit on rental operations revenues and lower allocated interest expense, partly offset by lower gross profit on sales and other revenues, and higher selling and administrative expenses, resulted in an increase in pre-tax income of $5.7 million, or 4%, to $141.7 million in 2025. Included within pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 2024, was Other income, net of $6.2 million comprised of an allocated net gain on sale of a corporate property. Excluding Other income, net, the total change in pre-tax income for 2025 was an increase of $11.9 million, or 9%.
The following table summarizes year-to-year results for each revenue and gross profit category, income from operations, pre-tax income, and other selected information.

Mobile Modular’s gross profit for 2025 increased $6.0 million, or 2%, to $309.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024:
Gross Profit on Rental Revenues – Rental revenues increased $8.8 million, or 3%, due to 2% higher average rental equipment on rent and 1% higher average monthly rental rates in 2025. As a percentage of rental revenues, depreciation was 13% in both 2025 and 2024, and other direct costs were 27% in 2025 and 26% in 2024, which resulted in gross margin percentage of 60% in 2025, compared to 61% in 2024. The higher rental revenues and lower rental margins resulted in gross profit on rental revenues increasing $0.9 million to $195.6 million in 2025.
Gross Profit on Rental Related Services – Rental related services revenues increased $14.1 million, or 11%, compared to 2024. The increase in rental related services revenues was primarily attributable to higher site related services and repair revenues. The higher revenues accompanied by higher gross margin percentage of 36% in 2025, compared to 35% in 2024, resulted in rental related services gross profit increasing $6.4 million, or 14%, to $50.4 million in 2025.
Gross Profit on Sales – Sales revenues decreased $12.6 million, or 7%, primarily due to lower new equipment sales of $121.1 million compared to $143.3 million in 2024, partly offset by higher used equipment sales of $49.6 million compared to $39.9 million in 2024. The lower total sales revenues and higher gross margin of 34% in 2025, compared to 32% in 2024, resulted in sales gross profit decreasing $0.7 million, or 1%, to $57.6 million in 2025. Sales occur routinely as a normal part of Mobile Modular’s rental business; however, these sales can fluctuate from period to period depending on customer requirements, equipment availability and funding.
For 2025, Mobile Modular’s selling and administrative expenses increased $6.1 million, or 4%, to $142.8 million, when compared to 2024. The increase in selling and administrative expenses during the year was primarily attributed to $3.1 million higher allocated corporate expenses, $1.1 million higher marketing and administrative costs and an increase in employees' salaries and benefit costs of $1.0 million.
Portable Storage
For 2025, Portable Storage’s total revenues decreased $1.7 million, or 2%, to $92.8 million compared to 2024, primarily due to lower rental operations revenues, partly offset by $2.1 million higher sales revenues. Lower gross profit on rental operations revenues, coupled with $1.4 million higher selling and administrative costs, partly offset by $1.6 million lower allocated interest expense and $0.8 million higher gross profit on sales revenues, resulted in a decrease in pre-tax income of $6.3 million, or 20%, to $24.5 million in 2025. Included within pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 2024, was Other income, net of $1.3 million comprised of an allocated net gain on sale of a corporate property. Excluding Other income, net, the total change in pre-tax income for 2025 was a decrease of $5.0 million, or 17%.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to
Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2023
Overview
Consolidated revenues in 2024 increased 8% to $910.9 million, from $841.3 million in 2023. Consolidated net income in 2024 increased to $231.7 million, or $9.43 per diluted share in 2024, compared to $174.6 million, or $7.12 per diluted share, in 2023. The increase in consolidated net income and earnings per diluted share during the year was primarily attributed to the $180.0 million gain on merger termination, partly offset by $63.2 million in transaction costs attributed to the terminated merger with Willscot Mobile Mini, net of provision for income taxes. Consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2023, included the $61.5 million gain on sale of discontinued operations from the divestiture of Adler Tanks, net of tax. Excluding the gain and transaction costs attributed to the merger termination in 2024, and the gain on sale of discontinued operations in 2023, the Company's net income increased by approximately $33.9 million, or 30%, to $145.7 million, and diluted earnings per share increased $1.37, or 30%, to $5.93, compared to $4.56 in 2023. The Company’s year over year total revenue increase was primarily due to higher sales, rental, and rental related services revenues, as more fully described below.
There was no revenue, income or earnings per share from discontinued operations during the year ended December 31, 2024. Revenues from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $9.4 million and income from discontinued operations was $62.8 million, which included the net gain on sale of discontinued operations of $61.5 million. Earnings per diluted share from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $2.56. Additional information regarding discontinued operations and the divestiture of Adler Tanks is included in the Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
For 2024 compared to 2023, on a consolidated basis from continuing operations:
Gross profit increased $41.8 million, or 11%, to $435.4 million. Mobile Modular’s gross profit increased $45.6 million, or 18%, due to higher gross profit on rental, sales and rental related services revenues. Portable Storage's gross profit decreased $5.0 million, or 7%, due to lower gross profit on rental and rental related services revenues. TRS-RenTelco’s gross profit decreased $6.5 million, or 10%, primarily due to lower gross profit on rental and other revenues. Enviroplex’s gross profit increased $7.7 million, primarily due to $25.6 million higher sales revenues and increased gross margin on sales revenues of 26.1%, compared to 20.9% in 2023.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased $7.1 million, or 3%, to $200.4 million, primarily due to $15.9 million in transaction costs incurred by the Company in 2023, attributed to the acquisitions of Vesta Modular, Brekke Storage, Dixie Storage and Inland Leasing, and the divestiture of Adler Tanks, partly offset by an increase in employee salaries and benefit costs of $7.8 million in 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company determined that transaction costs incurred by the Company attributed to the terminated merger were significant and required separate presentation on the consolidated statements of income. Due to this determination, the Company has excluded the transaction costs incurred by the Company from Selling and administrative expenses for all reportable business segments for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Other income, net increased $5.7 million due to the sale of a property in 2024, resulting in a net gain of $9.3 million, compared to the gain on sale of four properties in 2023.
Interest expense increased $6.7 million, due to 10% higher average debt levels of the Company, accompanied by 6% higher net average interest rates of 6.48% in 2024 compared to 6.12% in 2023.
Pre-tax income contribution by Mobile Modular, Portable Storage and TRS-RenTelco was 69%, 16% and 12%, respectively, compared to 62%, 22% and 16%, respectively, in 2023. These results are discussed on a segment basis below. Pre-tax income contribution by Enviroplex was 3% for 2024 and less than 1% for 2023.
The provision for income taxes resulted in an effective tax rate of 26.1% and 25.5% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA increased $33.4 million, or 10%, to $351.7 million in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash impairment costs, share-based compensation and transaction costs. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities and net income to Adjusted EBITDA can be found on page 46.
Mobile Modular
For 2024, Mobile Modular’s total revenues increased $73.1 million, or 13%, to $635.4 million compared to 2023, primarily due to higher rental, sales and rental related services revenues. Higher gross profit on rental, sales and rental related services revenues, and $1.9 million lower selling and administrative expenses, resulted in an increase in pre-tax income of $44.0 million, or 48%, to $136.0 million in 2024.

As a percentage of rental revenues, depreciation was 13% in both 2024 and 2023, respectively, and other direct costs were 26% in 2024 and 30% in 2023, which resulted in gross margin percentage of 61% in 2024, compared to 57% in 2023. The higher rental revenues and increased rental margins resulted in gross profit on rental revenues increasing $33.1 million, or 20%, to $194.7 million in 2024.
Gross Profit on Rental Related Services – Rental related services revenues increased $13.1 million, or 11%, compared to 2023. The increase in rental related services revenues was primarily attributable to higher delivery, return delivery and dismantle revenues and higher site related services. The higher revenues accompanied by higher gross margin percentage of 35% in 2024, compared to 34% in 2023, resulted in rental related services gross profit increasing $4.9 million, or 13%, to $44.0 million in 2024.
Gross Profit on Sales – Sales revenues increased $28.0 million, or 18%, primarily due to higher new equipment sales of $143.3 million compared to $116.2 million in 2023. The higher sales revenues and comparable gross margin of 32% in 2024, resulted in sales gross profit increasing $8.1 million, or 16%, to $58.3 million in 2024. Sales occur routinely as a normal part of Mobile Modular’s rental business; however, these sales can fluctuate from period to period depending on customer requirements, equipment availability and funding.
For 2024, Mobile Modular’s selling and administrative expenses decreased $1.9 million, or 1%, to $136.7 million, when compared to 2023.
Portable Storage
For 2024, Portable Storage’s total revenues decreased $6.6 million, or 7%, to $94.5 million compared to 2023, primarily due to lower rental and rental related services revenues, partly offset by $1.1 million higher sales revenues. Lower gross profit on rental and rental related services revenues, partly offset by $0.4 million higher gross profit on sales revenues and a $2.3 million reduction in selling and administrative expenses, resulted in a decrease in pre-tax income of $2.1 million, or 6%, to $30.8 million in 2024.
The following table summarizes year-to-year results for each revenue and gross profit category, income from operations, pre-tax income, and other selected information.

Portable Storage’s gross profit for 2024 decreased $5.0 million, or 7%, to $63.9 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023:
Gross Profit on Rental Revenues – Rental revenues decreased $4.6 million, or 6%, due to 7% lower average rental equipment on rent, partly offset by 1% higher average monthly rental rates in 2024. As a percentage of rental revenues, depreciation was 6% and 5% in 2024 and 2023, respectively, and other direct costs were 8% and 10% in 2024 and 2023, respectively, which resulted in gross margin percentage of 86% in 2024, compared to 85% in 2023. The lower rental revenues and higher rental margins resulted in gross profit on rental revenues decreasing $3.5 million, or 6%, to $60.2 million in 2024.
Gross Profit on Rental Related Services – Rental related services revenues decreased $2.8 million, or 14%, compared to 2023. The decrease in rental related services revenues was primarily attributable to a reduction in delivery and return delivery revenues. The lower revenues coupled with lower gross margin percentage of 2% in 2024, compared to 9% in 2023, resulted in rental related services gross profit decreasing $1.5 million to $0.4 million, in 2024.
Gross Profit on Sales – Sales revenues increased $1.1 million, or 24%, primarily due to higher used equipment sales. The higher sales revenues and comparable gross margin of 38% in 2024, resulted in sales gross profit increasing $0.4 million, or 24%, to $2.1 million in 2024. Sales occur routinely as a normal part of Portable Storage’s rental business; however, these sales can fluctuate from period to period depending on customer requirements, equipment availability and funding.
For 2024, Portable Storage’s selling and administrative expenses decreased $2.3 million, or 7%, to $29.2 million, compared to $31.5 million in 2023. The reduction in selling and administrative expenses was primarily the result of $2.5 million lower allocated corporate services, which in 2023 included transaction costs of $1.3 million, attributed to the divestiture of Adler Tanks.
TRS-RenTelco
For 2024, TRS-RenTelco’s total revenues decreased $13.0 million, or 9%, to $135.2 million, compared to 2023, primarily due to lower rental and other revenues, partly offset by higher sales revenues. Pre-tax income decreased $1.5 million, or 6%, to $23.2 million for 2024, primarily due to lower gross profit on rental and other revenues, partly offset by $1.9 million higher gross profit on sales revenues and a $4.0 million reduction in selling and administrative expenses.

TRS-RenTelco’s gross profit for 2024 decreased $6.5 million, or 10%, to $56.1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023:
Gross Profit on Rental Revenues – Rental revenues decreased $12.5 million, or 11%, to $101.8 million, with depreciation expense decreasing $4.6 million, or 9%, and other direct costs decreasing $0.4 million, or 2%, resulting in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of $7.5 million, or 17%, in 2024 compared to 2023. As a percentage of rental revenues, depreciation was 43% and 42% in 2024 and 2023, respectively, and other direct costs were 20% and 18% in 2024 and 2023, respectively, which resulted in gross margin percentage of 37% in 2024, compared to 40% in 2023. The reduction in rental revenues was primarily attributed to 9% lower average rental equipment on rent and 2% lower average monthly rental rates.
Gross Profit on Sales – Sales revenues increased $0.4 million, or 2%, to $27.5 million in 2024. Gross profit on sales increased $1.9 million, or 14%, to $15.1 million, with a gross margin percentage of 55% in 2024, compared to 49% in 2023. The higher gross margin during the year was primarily attributed to an increase in margin on used equipment sales. Sales occur routinely as a normal part of TRS-RenTelco’s rental business; however, these sales and related gross margins can fluctuate from period to period depending on customer requirements, equipment availability and funding.
For 2024, TRS-RenTelco’s selling and administrative expenses decreased $4.0 million, or 13%, to $27.0 million, when compared to 2023. The reduction in selling and administrative expenses was primarily the result of $4.0 million lower allocated corporate services, which included transaction costs of $1.6 million in 2023 attributed to the divestiture of Adler Tanks.
Adjusted EBITDA
To supplement the Company’s financial data presented on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company presents “Adjusted EBITDA”, which is defined by the Company as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash impairment costs, share-based compensation, transaction costs, gains on property sales and non-operating transactions. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure as management believes it provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s liquidity and financial condition and because management, as well as the Company’s lenders, use this measure in evaluating the performance of the Company.
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP measures to further evaluate period-to-period operating performance, compliance with financial covenants in the Company’s revolving lines of credit and senior notes and the Company’s ability to meet future capital expenditure and working capital requirements. Management believes the exclusion of non-cash charges and non-operating transactions, including share-based compensation, transaction costs and gains on property sales is useful in measuring the Company’s cash available for operations and performance of the Company. Because management finds Adjusted EBITDA useful, the Company believes its investors will also find Adjusted EBITDA useful in evaluating the Company’s performance.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows, or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of the Company’s profitability or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP and may be different from non−GAAP measures used by other companies. Unlike EBITDA, which may be used by other companies or investors, Adjusted EBITDA does not include share-based compensation charges, transaction costs, gains on property sales and non-operating transactions. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is of limited use in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and does not accurately reflect real cash flow. In addition, other companies may not use Adjusted EBITDA or may use other non-GAAP measures, limiting the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of comparison. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that the Company will not incur expenses that are the same as or similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The Company compensates for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of the Company’s performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined by the SEC, the Company includes in the tables below reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA 1
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from operations before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and non-operating transactions. Total Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, include Adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations of $3.7 million, $37.7 million and $28.0 million, respectively, from the divestiture of Adler Tanks which occurred in 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA is a component of two restrictive financial covenants for the Company’s unsecured Credit Facility, the Note Purchase Agreement, Series D, E, F and G Senior Notes (as defined and more fully described under the heading “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources”). These instruments contain financial covenants requiring the Company to not:
Permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility and the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined and more fully described under the heading “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - Liquidity and Capital Resources” in this MD&A)) of Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility and the Note Purchase Agreement) to fixed charges as of the end of any fiscal quarter to be less than 2.50 to 1. At December 31, 2025, the actual ratio was 3.88 to 1.
Permit the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of funded debt (as defined in the Credit Facility and the Note Purchase Agreement) to Adjusted EBITDA at any time during any period of four consecutive quarters to be greater than 2.75 to 1. At December 31, 2025, the actual ratio was 1.42 to 1.
At December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with each of these aforementioned covenants. There are no anticipated trends that the Company is aware of that would indicate non-compliance with these covenants, though, significant deterioration in our financial performance could impact the Company's ability to comply with these covenants.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s rental businesses are capital intensive and generate significant cash flows. Cash flows for the Company in 2025 as compared to 2024 are summarized as follows:
Cash Flows from Operating Activities: The Company’s operations provided net cash flows of $255.7 million for 2025, compared to $374.4 million in 2024. The $118.7 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributed to the gain on merger termination from WillScot Mobile Mini after transaction costs, which contributed $86.0 million to net income during 2024. Further, operating activities provided for a $20.4 million increase in accounts receivable as compared to 2024, a result of higher customer billings compared to related cash payments in 2025, and prepaid expenses and other assets increased $9.8 million, primarily attributed to the timing of cash payments made and expense recognition during the year. Finally, there was a $12.2 million decrease in accounts payable as a result of the payment timing of rental equipment acquisitions and other trade accounts payable, which contributed to the year over year change.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities was $127.1 million for 2025, compared to $150.8 million in 2024. The $23.6 million reduction in net cash used was primarily due to $48.7 million lower rental equipment purchases when compared to the previous year, due to higher equipment acquisitions in 2024 to meet customer rental demand. The reduction in net cash used in investing activities was partly offset by a $23.8 million increase in cash paid for the acquisition of businesses in 2025.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities was $129.1 million in 2025, compared to $223.7 million in 2024. The $94.6 million change was primarily attributable to $95.1 million lower net payments under bank lines of credit in 2025, partially offset by $75.0 million in borrowings under issued Series G senior notes in 2025, which were used to pay the principal balance in full of the Company's $73.0 million term note entered into in 2024. The reduction in total net payments under bank lines of credit when compared to the previous year was primarily due to lower cash flows from operations, including the net impact of the gain on merger termination from WillScot Mobile Mini after transaction costs, partly offset by the $48.7 million reduction in purchases of rental equipment when compared to the previous year.
Significant capital expenditures are required to maintain and grow the Company’s rental assets. During the last three years, the Company has financed its working capital and capital expenditure requirements through cash flows from operations, proceeds from the sale of rental equipment and from borrowings. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into a merger agreement with WillScot Mobile Mini, which was subsequently terminated, resulting in proceeds received of $116.8 million, net of transaction costs, which were primarily used to paydown outstanding borrowings on bank lines of credit. Comparatively, in 2023 the Company sold its Adler Tanks business, generating a total of $202.7 million in net proceeds, which were primarily used to expand the Company's rental asset fleet through the acquisition of Vesta Modular. These types of transactions are considered nonrecurring to the Company and not a normal part of continuing operations. Sales of rental equipment occur routinely as a normal part of the Company’s rental businesses. However, these sales can fluctuate from period to period depending on customer requirements and funding. Although the net proceeds received from sales may fluctuate from period to period, the Company believes its liquidity will not be adversely impacted from lower sales in any given year because it believes it has the ability to increase its bank borrowings, offer additional notes and conserve its cash in the future by reducing the amount of cash it uses to purchase rental equipment, pay dividends, or repurchase the Company’s common stock.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
The Company defines “Adjusted free cash flow” as cash provided by operating activities less payments for purchases of rental equipment and property, plant and equipment, and plus proceeds from sale of rental equipment and property, plant and equipment, which are included in cash flows from investing activities; excluding nonrecurring taxes paid in cash on sale of discontinued operations and the contractual merger termination payment from WillScot Mobile Mini after deducting the Company’s transaction costs. The Company believes that Adjusted free cash flow provides useful additional information regarding cash flow available to meet debt service obligations and other capital requirements. However, Adjusted free cash flow is not a measure of performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Net income, Net cash provided by operating activities, or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The table below provides a reconciliation between Net cash provided by operating activities and Adjusted free cash flow.

In addition to increasing its rental assets, the Company has periodically made acquisitions of businesses and business assets. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2023, the company transacted a total of $23.8 million and $462.1 million in acquisition related costs, respectively. There were no acquisition related transactions during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company had other capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment of $44.4 million in 2025, $40.2 million in 2024 and $44.0 million in 2023, and has used cash each year to provide returns to its shareholders in the form of cash dividends. The Company paid cash dividends of $47.9 million, $46.8 million and $45.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company has in the past made purchases of shares of its common stock from time to time in over-the-counter market (NASDAQ) transactions, through privately negotiated, large block transactions and through a share repurchase plan, in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. In September 2024, the Company's Board of Directors increased the capacity under the share repurchase program by authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock (the "Repurchase Plan"), an increase from the 1,309,805 remaining shares authorized for repurchase under the Repurchase Plan established in August 2015. The amount and time of the specific repurchases are subject to prevailing market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors, including management’s discretion. All shares repurchased by the Company are canceled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that any authorized shares will be repurchased, and the Repurchase Plan may be modified, extended or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time. There were no shares of common stock repurchased during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. As of December 31, 2025, 2,000,000 shares remain authorized for repurchase under the Repurchase Plan.
Unsecured Revolving Lines of Credit
On July 15, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, L/C Issuer and lender, and other lenders named therein (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a $650.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (which may be further increased to $950.0 million, by adding one or more tranches of term loans and/or increasing the aggregate revolving commitments), which includes a $40.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $20.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. The proceeds of the Credit Facility are available to be used for general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions. The Credit Facility permits the Company’s existing indebtedness to remain, which includes the Company’s $20.0 million Treasury Sweep Note due July 15, 2027 and the Company’s existing senior notes issued pursuant to the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc., dated as of April 21, 2011 (as amended, the "Prior NPA") comprised of (i) the $40.0 million aggregate outstanding principal of notes issued March 17, 2021 and due March 17, 2028, and (ii) the $60.0 million aggregate outstanding principal of notes issued June 16, 2021 and due June 16, 2026. The Prior NPA was amended and restated, and superseded in its entirety, by the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined and more fully described below under the heading "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement" in this MD&A). In addition, the Company may incur additional senior note indebtedness in an aggregate amount not to exceed $250.0 million. The Credit Facility matures on July 15, 2027 and replaced the Company’s prior $420.0 million credit facility dated March 31, 2020 with Bank of America, N.A., as agent, as amended. All obligations outstanding under the prior credit facility as of the date of the Credit Facility were refinanced by the Credit Facility on April 23, 2022.
On August 19, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit Facility Letter Agreement and a Credit Line Note in favor of MUFG Union Bank, N.A., which provides for a $20.0 million line of credit facility related to its cash management services (“Sweep Service Facility”). The Sweep Service Facility matures on the earlier of July 15, 2027, or the date the Company ceases to utilize MUFG Union Bank, N.A. for its cash management services. The Sweep Service Facility replaced the Company’s prior $12.0 million sweep service facility, dated as of March 30, 2020.
On April 23, 2024, the Company entered into a first incremental facility amendment with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and the first incremental lender (“BoA”) and the guarantors named therein (the “First Incremental Amendment”). The First Incremental Amendment amends the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2022, as amended, by and among the Company, BoA, the other lenders named therein, and the guarantors named therein (the “Credit Agreement”) to institute an incremental term loan “A” facility in an aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million (the “Incremental Credit Facility”). The proceeds from the Incremental Credit Facility were used for general corporate purposes. Concurrently with entry into the First Incremental Amendment, the Company repaid revolving loans issued under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount equal to approximately $75.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repaid the principal amount of the incremental term loan "A" facility in its entirety.
At December 31, 2025, under the Credit Facility and Sweep Service Facility, the Company had unsecured lines of credit that permit it to borrow up to $650.0 million of which $265.0 million was outstanding and had the capacity to borrow up to an additional $385.0 million. The Credit Facility contains financial covenants requiring the Company to not (all defined terms used below not otherwise defined herein have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Amended Credit Facility):
Permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges as of the end of any fiscal quarter to be less than 2.50 to 1. At December 31, 2025, the actual ratio was 3.88 to 1.
Permit the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of funded debt to EBITDA at any time during any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to be greater than 2.75 to 1. At December 31, 2025, the actual ratio was 1.42 to 1.
At December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with each of the aforementioned covenants. There are no anticipated trends that the Company is aware of that would indicate non-compliance with these covenants, although significant deterioration in our financial performance could impact the Company’s ability to comply with these covenants.
Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement
On June 8, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with PGIM, Inc. (“PGIM”) and the holders of Series D and Series E Notes previously issued pursuant to the Prior NPA. The Note Purchase Agreement amended and restated, and superseded in its entirety, the Prior NPA. Pursuant to the Prior NPA, the Company issued (i) $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.57% Series D Senior Notes, due March 17, 2028, and (ii) $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.35% Series E Senior Notes, due June 16, 2026, to which the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement shall apply.
In addition, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company may authorize the issuance and sale of additional senior notes (the “Shelf Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of (x) $300 million minus (y) the amount of other notes (such as the Series D Senior Notes, Series E Senior Notes, Series F Senior Notes and Series G Senior Notes, each defined below) then outstanding, to be dated the date of issuance thereof, to mature, in case of each Shelf Note so issued, no more than 15 years after the date of original issuance thereof, to have an average life, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, of no more than 15 years after the date of original issuance thereof, to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date thereof at the rate per annum, and to have such other particular terms, as shall be set forth, in the case of each Shelf Note so issued, in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement. Shelf Notes may be issued and sold from time to time at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and in such amounts as the Board of Directors may determine, subject to prospective purchasers’ agreement to purchase the Shelf Notes. The Company will sell the Shelf Notes directly to such purchasers. The full net proceeds of each Shelf Note will be used in the manner described in the applicable Request for Purchase with respect to such Shelf Note.
5.30% Senior Notes Due in 2032
On September 8, 2025, the Company issued and sold to the purchasers $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.30% Series G Notes (the “Series G Senior Notes”) pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.
The Series G Senior Notes are an unsecured obligation of the Company and bear interest at a rate of 5.30% per annum and mature on September 8, 2032. Interest on the Series G Senior Notes is payable semi-annually beginning on March 8, 2026 and continuing thereafter on September 8 and March 8 of each year until maturity. The principal balance is due when the notes mature on September 8, 2032. The full net proceeds from the Series G Senior Notes were used to pay down the Company’s term loan "A" facility in its entirety. At December 31, 2025, the principal balance outstanding under the Series G Senior Notes was $75.0 million.
6.25% Senior Notes Due in 2030
On September 27, 2023, the Company issued and sold to the purchasers $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Series F Notes (the “Series F Senior Notes”) pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.
The Series F Senior Notes are an unsecured obligation of the Company and bear interest at a rate of 6.25% per annum and mature on September 27, 2030. Interest on the Series F Senior Notes is payable semi-annually beginning on March 27, 2024 and continuing thereafter on September 27 and March 27 of each year until maturity. The principal balance is due when the notes mature on September 27, 2030. The full net proceeds from the Series F Senior Notes were primarily used to fulfill the income tax obligations incurred from the divestiture of Adler Tanks. At December 31, 2025, the principal balance outstanding under the Series F Senior Notes was $75.0 million.
2.57% Senior Notes Due in 2028
On March 17, 2021, the Company issued and sold to the purchasers $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.57% Series D Notes (the “Series D Senior Notes”) pursuant to the terms of the Prior NPA.
The Series D Senior Notes are an unsecured obligation of the Company and bear interest at a rate of 2.57% per annum and mature on March 17, 2028. Interest on the Series D Senior Notes is payable semi-annually beginning on September 17, 2021 and continuing thereafter on March 17 and September 17 of each year until maturity.

2.35% Senior Notes Due in 2026
On June 16, 2021, the Company issued and sold to the purchasers $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.35% Series E Notes (the "Series E Notes") pursuant to the terms of the Prior NPA.
The Series E Senior Notes are an unsecured obligation of the Company and bear interest at a rate of 2.35% per annum and mature on June 16, 2026. Interest on the Series E Senior Notes is payable semi-annually beginning on December 16, 2021 and continuing thereafter on June 16 and December 16 of each year until maturity. The principal balance is due when the notes mature on June 16, 2026. The full net proceeds from the Series E Senior Notes were used to pay down the Company’s credit facility. At December 31, 2025, the principal balance outstanding under the Series E Senior Notes was $60.0 million.
Among other restrictions, the Note Purchase Agreement, which has superseded in its entirety the Prior NPA, under which the Series D Senior Notes, Series E Senior Notes, Series F Senior Notes and Series G Senior Notes were sold, contains financial covenants requiring the Company to not (all defined terms used below not otherwise defined herein have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement):
Permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) to fixed charges as of the end of any fiscal quarter to be less than 2.50 to 1. At December 31, 2025, the actual ratio was 3.88 to 1.
Permit the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) at any time during any period of four consecutive quarters to be greater than 2.75 to 1. At December 31, 2025, the actual ratio was 1.42 to 1.
At December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with each of the aforementioned covenants. There are no anticipated trends that the Company is aware of that would indicate non-compliance with these covenants, although significant deterioration in our financial performance could impact the Company’s ability to comply with these covenants.
Although no assurance can be given, the Company believes it will continue to be able to negotiate general bank lines of credit and issue senior notes adequate to meet capital requirements not otherwise met by operational cash flows and proceeds from sales of rental equipment.

Critical Accounting Policies
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies are in Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company determined its critical accounting policies by considering those policies that involve the most complex or subjective assumptions, estimates, and/or judgment. Material changes in these assumptions, estimates or judgments could have the potential to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results. The Company has identified below the accounting policies that it believes could potentially have a material impact on operating results if a change in assumption, estimate and/or judgment were to occur.
Depreciation - The estimated useful lives and estimated residual values used for rental equipment are based on the Company’s experience as to the economic useful life and sale value of its products. Additionally, to the extent information is publicly available, the Company also compares its depreciation policies to other companies with similar rental products for reasonableness.
The lives and residual values of rental equipment are subject to periodic evaluation. For modular equipment, external factors to consider may include, but are not limited to, changes in legislation, regulations, building codes, local permitting, and supply or demand. Internal factors for modulars may include, but are not limited to, change in equipment specifications, condition of equipment, or maintenance policies. For portable storage containers, external factors to consider may include, but are not limited to, the quality of the steel construction, types of materials stored and the frequency of movements and uses. Internal factors for portable storage containers may include, but are not limited to, change in equipment specifications and maintenance policies. For electronic test equipment, external factors to consider may include, but are not limited to, technological advances, changes in manufacturers’ selling prices, and supply or demand. Internal factors for electronic test equipment may include, but are not limited to, change in equipment specifications, condition of equipment, or maintenance policies.
To the extent that the useful lives of all of our rental equipment were to decrease or increase by one year, the Company estimates the annual depreciation expense would increase or decrease by approximately $4.8 million. If the estimated residual values of all of our rental equipment were to change one percentage point, the Company estimates the annual depreciation expense would change by approximately $0.9 million. Any changes in depreciation expense as a result of a change in useful lives or residual values would result in a proportional increase or decrease in the gross profit the Company would recognize upon the ultimate sale of the equipment.
Maintenance, repair and refurbishment - Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The direct material and labor costs of value-added additions or major refurbishment of modular buildings are capitalized to the extent the refurbishment significantly improves the quality and adds value or life to the equipment. Judgment is involved as to when these costs should be capitalized. The Company’s policies narrowly limit the capitalization of value-added items to specific additions such as portable storage office conversions, restrooms, sidewalls and ventilation upgrades. In addition, only major refurbishment costs incurred near the end of the estimated useful life of the rental equipment, which extend its useful life, and are subject to certain limitations, are capitalized. The Company capitalized $19.4 million in extended life or value added refurbishments in 2025. Changes in these policies to expense these costs as incurred could impact the Company’s financial results.
Acquisition Accounting - The Company has made acquisitions of businesses in the past and records the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Long-lived assets (primarily rental equipment), goodwill and other intangible assets generally represent the largest components of the Company’s acquisitions. Determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired can be judgmental in nature and can involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Rental equipment is valued utilizing either a cost, market or income approach, or a combination of certain of these methods, depending on the asset being valued and the availability of market or income data. The intangible assets acquired are primarily comprised of customer relationships, non-compete agreements and trade names. These assets are valued on an excess earnings or income approach based on projected cash flows. The estimated fair values of these intangible assets reflect various assumptions about revenue growth rates, operating margins, projected cash flows, discount rates, customer attrition rates, terminal values, useful lives and other prospective financial information. When appropriate, the Company’s estimates of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired include assistance from independent third-party valuation firms. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the cost of the acquired business over the net of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The judgments made in determining the estimated fair value assigned to the assets acquired, as well as the estimated life of the assets, can materially impact the Company’s financial results in periods subsequent to the acquisition through depreciation and amortization, and in certain instances through impairment charges, if the asset becomes impaired in the future. As discussed below, we regularly review for impairments.
Impairment of rental equipment - The carrying value of the Company’s rental equipment is its capitalized cost less accumulated depreciation. To the extent events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value cannot be recovered, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value to fair value. The Company evaluates the carrying value of rental equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances have occurred that would indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. Determining fair value includes estimates and judgments regarding the projected net cash flows considering current and future market conditions including assumptions regarding utilization, rental pricing, the condition of the equipment, the equipment’s expected remaining life and sale proceeds. Due to uncertainties inherent in the valuation process and market conditions, it is reasonably possible that actual results of operating and disposing of rental equipment could be materially different than current expectations.
Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets - The Company’s goodwill is not amortized to expense, the Company assesses whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to complete quantitative impairment assessments. These impairment assessments occur annually, or more frequently if an event occurs, or circumstances change in the interim that would indicate that it was more likely than not the fair value had reduced below its carrying value. Application of the goodwill impairment assessment requires judgement including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, business projections including changes in pricing, rental and sale activity and costs, long term growth rates and discount rates. In 2025, 2024 and 2023 the Company performed qualitative assessments taking into consideration the market value of the Company, any changes in management, key personnel, strategy and any relevant macroeconomic conditions, concluding that the fair value of the reporting units substantially exceeded the respective reporting units carrying value, including goodwill.
Intangible assets (other than goodwill) acquired are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Definite lived intangibles are amortized over their expected useful lives, while indefinite lived intangibles are not amortized. The Company monitors conditions related to these assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period. The Company tests these assets for potential impairment annually and whenever management determines events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Revenue recognition:
Lease revenue - Rental revenues from operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease for all operating segments. Rental billings for periods extending beyond period end are recorded as deferred income and are recognized in the period earned. Rental related services revenues are primarily associated with relocatable modular building and portable storage container leases. For modular building leases, rental related services revenues for modifications, delivery, installation, dismantle and return delivery are lease related because the payments are considered minimum lease payments that are an integral part of the negotiated lease agreement with the customer. These revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Certain leases are accounted for as sales-type leases. For these leases, sales revenue and the related accounts receivable are recognized upon delivery and installation of the equipment and the unearned interest is recognized over the lease term on a basis which results in a constant rate of return on the unrecovered lease investment. Other revenues include interest income on sales-type leases and rental income on facility leases.
Non-lease revenue - Sales revenue is recognized upon delivery and installation of the equipment to customers. Site related services revenues outside of the modular building such as grading, drainage, landscaping and paving are recognized upon completion of the services performed. The Company typically recognizes non-lease related revenues at a point in time because the customer does not simultaneously consume the benefits of the Company’s promised goods and services, or performance obligations, and obtain control when delivery and installation are complete. Revenue from contracts that satisfy the criteria for over-time recognition are recognized
as work is performed by using the input method based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total contract costs for each contract. For contracts that have multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in the contract based on the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling prices of each distinct performance obligation in the contract. The standalone selling price is typically determined based upon the expected cost plus an estimated margin of each performance obligation. Judgment is involved in determining the performance obligations and standalone selling prices. To the extent actual results were to differ from these estimates, the timing of profit recognition could change and impact the Company’s financial results.
