Management Comments
Tim Boswell
Our second quarter 2026 results reflect continued progress across our key commercial and operational priorities. Large project and event activity, combined with our Enterprise Accounts and verticals strategies, drove year-over-year modular unit activation growth for the third consecutive quarter and a return to year-over-year revenue growth. We believe that our expanded product offering and operational capabilities are a winning combination in this market environment, and we continue to see strong year-over-year growth in our order book heading into the second half of the year. To support this momentum, we are advancing our fleet readiness plans with increased work order and refurbishment activity, as well as new fleet investment in our highest demand and most differentiated fleet categories. And we are complementing these efforts with the continued rollout of our route optimization and dispatch platform and expansion of our field and project management services all of which support the superior execution that we bring to our customers. While overall non-residential construction activity remains muted, the mix of that activity, combined with our go-to-market strategy, our offering, and our operational capabilities, is driving momentum into the second half of the year. We are raising our 2026 outlook for Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA modestly, recognizing both this top-line momentum and the continued uncertain economic environment. And we are raising our outlook for capital expenditures based on specific project opportunities we expect to execute heading into 2027. Overall, I am incredibly proud of how our team has responded in this market environment. We are capturing and creating new commercial opportunities, expanding our capabilities to build upon our competitive strengths, and executing operationally on behalf of our customers, all with a clear focus on driving long-term shareholder value creation.

Second quarter 2026 revenues of $612 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $228 million exceeded our outlook, supported by solid leasing and services revenue growth. Leasing revenue continued to improve sequentially, driven by large project activity. And we were pleased to see leasing revenue inflect to year-over-year growth in the quarter earlier than expected, driven in part by a significant event project. Margin performance in the quarter reflects elevated variable costs supporting modular space unit activation growth, in addition to the revenue mix impact of higher delivery and installation revenue as we expected. These margin pressures are normal in periods of elevated activity. And our unit activation trends, pending order book, and continued investments in the fleet reinforce our confidence in sustained leasing revenue growth in the second half of this year. Based on first half 2026 results and current commercial demand, we are raising our 2026 outlook to $2.3 billion in revenue and $920 million in Adjusted EBITDA. Large project demand remains solid, with our differentiated product lines and service capabilities driving strong win rates. To support this growth, we are raising our Net CAPEX outlook to $375 million for 2026. The incremental capital will be used to purchase and refurbish fleet in our highest demand product categories, serving large projects that we expect to activate in the second half of the year and into early 2027. Based on our top-line momentum and large project pipeline, we anticipate year-over-year leasing revenue trends to continue improving while variable activation costs begin to taper sequentially and help drive significant sequential margin expansion through the remainder of 2026. Despite these encouraging trends, we will continue to take a measured approach in our outlook.
