Custom Truck One Source reports Q1 EPS (2c), two estimates (5c)

Reports Q1 revenue $461.6M, consensus $451.28M. “In the first quarter, we achieved record first-quarter revenue and delivered substantial year-over-year growth in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of 9% and 33%, respectively. The sustained performance in our core T&D markets continues to be the primary driver of performance within our SER segment and for the Company as a whole. For the quarter, our rental fleet achieved average utilization of 81.4%, up 370 basis points versus the first quarter of last year. We ended the quarter with total OEC of $1.66 billion, the highest in our history, which should support our expected growth within SER in 2026,” said Ryan McMonagle, Chief Executive Officer of CTOS. “Our STEM segment also had a strong quarter, delivering revenue of $268 million, which excludes $95 million of sales to our SER segment. Our strong performance in the quarter allowed us to make substantial progress in reducing our net leverage, down almost 30 basis points versus the end of the previous quarter. We continue to be optimistic about the remainder of 2026, as CTOS remains well-positioned to benefit from secular tailwinds driven by data center investments, electrification, utility grid upgrades and infrastructure investment. For 2026, we remain focused on Adjusted EBITDA growth, working capital management, free cash flow generation and continued deleveraging,” McMonagle added.
