WillScot reports Q1 adjusted EPS 21c, consensus 16c

Reports Q1 revenue $549M, consensus $518.17M. Tim Boswell, CEO, commented, “Our first quarter 2026 results were encouraging, with clear progress across our commercial and operational priorities for the year. We are seeing a steady increase in demand from larger project opportunities, most notably in the data center, power generation and utility, diversified manufacturing, and events sectors, that align well with both our value proposition and our strategic focus on enterprise accounts, new verticals, and our expanded offerings. Order and activation trends continued to strengthen through April, which combined with the growing volume of larger projects, is giving us better visibility into the second half of the year and is consistent with our longer-term strategy to drive higher quality revenue mix. Operationally, our teams are mobilizing to support increased activity levels by executing our previously announced Network Optimization Plan, rolling out our route optimization and dispatch platform in the field, continuing to optimize centralized shared services, and activating fleet to increase availability and minimize lead times across the network. Each of these initiatives supports our ability to capture immediate market opportunities while improving long-term profitability and the customer experience. The strengthening commercial activity supports our increased 2026 outlook for revenue, adjusted EBITDA and capital expenditures, and we think there is a credible path to inflect leasing revenues to year-over-year growth in the second half of 2026. We remain focused on advancing initiatives that are within our control to strengthen our competitive positioning, serve our customers, and drive long-term shareholder value creation. I am incredibly grateful to our team for their focus on clean and consistent execution.”
