PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
General Overview
McGrath RentCorp (the “Company”) is a California corporation organized in 1979 with corporate offices located in Livermore, California. The Company’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “MGRC”. References in this report to the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “ours” refer to McGrath RentCorp and its subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise.
The Company is a diversified business-to-business rental company with three rental divisions: relocatable modular buildings, portable storage containers and electronic test equipment. Although the Company’s primary emphasis is on equipment rentals, sales of equipment occur in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2025, the Company was comprised of four reportable business segments: (1) its modular building segment (“Mobile Modular”); (2) its portable storage container segment (“Portable Storage”); (3) its electronic test equipment segment (“TRS-RenTelco”); and (4) its classroom manufacturing business selling modular buildings used primarily as classrooms in California (“Enviroplex”).
Mutual decision to terminate Merger Agreement with WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp
As previously disclosed, on January 28, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), with WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation ("WillScot Mobile Mini”), Brunello Merger Sub I, Inc., a California corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of WillScot Mobile Mini, and Brunello Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of WillScot Mobile Mini. On September 17, 2024, the Company and WillScot Mobile Mini mutually agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement, effective upon WillScot Mobile Mini's cash payment of $180.0 million to the Company, which was received on September 20, 2024.
Transaction costs attributed to the Merger Agreement are reported in the Company's Corporate segment. Expenses recognized as a result of the terminated Merger Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2024, were $63.2 million. The termination payment received of $180.0 million, net of transaction costs, resulted in net proceeds received of $116.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company determined that the transaction costs incurred on the terminated merger were significant and required separate presentation on the Company's consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2024. Due to this determination, the Company has excluded such transaction costs from Selling and administrative expenses and reported these costs separately on the consolidated statements of income as non-operating expenses.

Business Model
The Company invests capital in rental products and generally has recovered its original investment through rents less cash operating expenses in a relatively short period of time compared to the product’s rental life. When the Company’s rental products are sold, the proceeds generally have recovered a high percentage of the original investment. With these characteristics, a significant base of rental assets on rent generates a considerable amount of operating cash flows to support continued rental asset growth. The Company’s rental products have the following characteristics:
•
The product required by the customer tends to be expensive compared to the Company’s monthly rental charge, with the interim rental solution typically evaluated as a less costly alternative.
•
Generally, we believe the Company’s customers have a short-term need for our rental products. The customer’s rental requirement may be driven by a number of factors including time, budget or capital constraints, future uncertainty impacting their ongoing requirements, equipment availability, specific project requirements, peak periods of demand or the customer may want to eliminate the burdens and risks of ownership.
•
All of the Company’s rental products have long useful lives relative to the typical rental term. Modular buildings (“modulars”) have an estimated life of eighteen years compared to the typical rental term of twelve to twenty-four months, portable storage containers ("containers") have an estimated life of twenty-five years compared to a typical rental term of three to twelve months and electronic test equipment has an estimated life range of one to eight years (depending on the type of product) compared to a typical rental term of one to six months.
•
We believe short-term rental rates typically recover the Company’s original investment quickly based on the respective product’s annual yield, or annual rental revenues divided by the average cost of rental equipment. For modulars, the original investment is recovered in approximately four years, in approximately three years for containers and approximately three years for electronic test equipment.
•
When a product is sold from our rental inventory, a significant portion of the original investment is usually recovered. Effective asset management is a critical element to each of the rental businesses and the residuals realized when product is sold from inventory. Modular asset management requires designing and building the product for a long life, coupled with ongoing repair and maintenance investments, to ensure its long useful rental life and generally higher residuals upon sale. Container asset management requires selecting and purchasing quality products and making ongoing repair and maintenance investments. Steel containers have no technical obsolescence. Electronic test equipment asset management requires understanding, selecting and investing in equipment technologies that support market demand and, once invested, proactively managing the equipment at the model level for optimum utilization through its technology life cycle to maximize the rental revenues and residuals realized.
The Company believes that rental revenue growth from an increasing base of rental assets and improved gross profit on rents are the best measures of the health of each of our rental businesses. Additionally, we believe our business model and results are enhanced by operational leverage that is created from large regional sales and inventory centers for modulars, a single U.S. based sales, inventory and operations facility for electronic test equipment, as well as shared senior management and back-office functions for financing, human resources, insurance, marketing, information technology and operating and accounting systems.
Human Capital Management
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 1,306 employees, of whom 148 were primarily administrative and executive personnel, with 725, 206, 131 and 96 in the operations of Mobile Modular, Portable Storage, TRS-RenTelco and Enviroplex, respectively. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and management believes its relationship with our employees is good.
The Company believes its employees are key to its success and it is committed to all of its employees’ engagement, training and career development, and personal and professional growth. The Board of Directors also receives regular updates from senior management on matters relating to the Company’s strategy for the recruitment, retention and development of the Company’s employees. The Company provides training in technical, operational and leadership skills, and places special emphasis on safety, effective communications, customer service, and employee development. Additionally, the Company offers employees a tuition reimbursement program whereby the employee may receive reimbursement for tuition and fees for undergraduate or graduate-level academic courses at an accredited two or four year college or university that may help employees improve performance in their current job or prepare them for advancement.
Government Regulations
We are subject to certain environmental, transportation, anti-corruption, import controls, health and safety, privacy, government contracting and procurement, and other laws and regulations in locations in which we operate. Our activity in jurisdictions in which we

RELOCATABLE MODULAR BUILDINGS
Description
Modulars are designed for use as classrooms, temporary offices adjacent to existing facilities, sales offices, construction field offices, restroom buildings, health care clinics, child care facilities, office space and for a variety of other purposes and may be moved from one location to another. Modulars vary from simple single-unit construction site offices to multi-floor modular complexes. The Company’s modular rental fleet includes a full range of styles and sizes. The Company considers its modulars to be among the most attractive and well-designed available. The units are constructed with wood or metal siding, sturdily built and physically capable of a long useful life. Modulars are generally provided with installed heat, air conditioning, lighting, electrical outlets and floor covering, and may have customized interiors including partitioning, cabinetry and plumbing facilities.
Mobile Modular purchases new modulars from various manufacturers who build to Mobile Modular’s design specifications. During 2025, Mobile Modular purchased 27% of its new modular units from one manufacturer. The Company believes that the loss of any of its primary modular manufacturers could have an adverse effect on its operations since Mobile Modular could experience higher prices and longer lead times for delivery of modular units until other manufacturers are able to increase their production capacity.
The Company’s modulars are manufactured to comply with state building codes, carry a low risk of obsolescence, and can be modified or reconfigured to accommodate a wide variety of customer needs. Historically, as state building codes have changed over the years, Mobile Modular has been able to continue to use existing modulars, with minimal, if any, required upgrades. The Company provides no assurance that it will continue to be able to use existing modular equipment with minimal upgrades as building codes change in the future.
Mobile Modular operates from regional sales and inventory centers serving large geographic areas. These sales and inventory centers have in-house infrastructure and operational capabilities to support quick and efficient repair, modification, and refurbishment of equipment for the next rental opportunity. The Company believes operating from large regional sales and inventory centers results in better operating margins as operating costs can be spread over a large installed customer base. Mobile Modular actively maintains and repairs its rental equipment, and management believes this ensures the continued use of the modular product over its long life and, when sold, has resulted in higher sale proceeds relative to its capitalized cost. When rental equipment returns from a customer, the necessary repairs and preventative maintenance are performed prior to its next rental. By making these expenditures for repair and maintenance throughout the equipment’s life, we believe that older equipment can generally rent for rates similar to those of newer equipment. Management believes the condition of the equipment is a more significant factor in determining the rental rate and sale price than its age. Over the last three years, used equipment sold each year represented approximately 2% of rental equipment, and has been, on average, 16 years old with sale proceeds above its net book value.
Competitive Strengths
Strong Industry Position – Mobile Modular has a leading modular building fleet in the United States. Rental units for temporary classroom and other educational space needs are an important industry segment and the Company believes Mobile Modular is a leading supplier in California and Florida, and a significant supplier in Texas, of modular educational facilities for rental to both public and private schools. Management is knowledgeable about the needs of its educational customers and the related regulatory requirements in the states where Mobile Modular operates, which enables Mobile Modular to meet its customers’ specific project requirements.
Expertise – The Company believes that over the 45 plus years during which Mobile Modular has competed in the modular rental industry, it has developed expertise that delivers value to customers. Mobile Modular has dedicated its attention to continuously developing and improving the quality of its modular units. Mobile Modular has expertise in the licensing and regulatory requirements that govern modulars in the states where it operates, and its management, sales and operational staffs are knowledgeable and committed to providing exemplary customer service. Mobile Modular has expertise in project management and complex applications.
Operating Structure –Part of the Company’s strategy for Mobile Modular is to create facilities and infrastructure capabilities that allow it to drive greater efficiency and pass the benefits to customers. Mobile Modular achieves this by building regional sales and inventory centers designed to serve a broad geographic area and a large installed customer base under a single overhead structure, thereby reducing its cost per transaction. The Company’s regional facilities and related infrastructure enable Mobile Modular to maximize its modular inventory utilization through efficient and cost effective in-house repair, maintenance and refurbishment for quick redeployment of equipment to meet its customers’ needs.
Asset Management – The Company believes Mobile Modular markets high quality, well-constructed and attractive modulars. Mobile Modular requires manufacturers to build to its specifications, which enables Mobile Modular to maintain a standardized quality fleet. In addition, through its ongoing repair, refurbishment and maintenance programs, the Company believes Mobile Modular’s buildings are the best maintained in the industry. The Company depreciates its modular buildings over an 18 year estimated useful life
-5-
to a 50% residual value. Older buildings continue to be productive primarily because of Mobile Modular’s focus on ongoing fleet maintenance. Also, as a result of Mobile Modular’s maintenance programs, when a modular unit is sold, a high percentage of the equipment’s capitalized cost is recovered. In addition, the fleet’s utilization is regionally optimized by managing inventory through estimates of market demand, fulfillment of current rental and sale order activity, modular returns and capital purchases.
Customer Service - The Company believes the modular rental industry to be service intensive and locally based. The Company strives to provide excellent service by meeting its commitments to its customers, being proactive in resolving project issues and seeking to continuously improve the customers’ experience. Mobile Modular is committed to offering quick response to requests for information, providing experienced assistance, on time delivery and preventative maintenance of its units. Mobile Modular’s goal is to continuously improve its procedures, processes and computer systems to enhance internal operational efficiency. The Company believes this dedication to customer service results in high levels of customer loyalty and repeat business.
Market
Management estimates relocatable modular building rental is an industry that today has equipment on rent or available for rent in the U.S. with an aggregate original cost of over $5.0 billion. Mobile Modular’s largest business segment is for temporary classroom and other educational space needs of public and private schools, colleges and universities in California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington, D.C. Management believes the demand for rental classrooms is driven by shifting and fluctuating school populations, the limited state funds for new construction, the need for temporary classroom space during reconstruction of older schools, class size reduction and the phasing out of portable classrooms compliant with older building codes (see “Classroom Rentals and Sales to Public Schools (K-12)” below). Other customer applications include sales offices, construction field offices, health care facilities, church sanctuaries and child care facilities. Industrial, manufacturing, entertainment and utility companies, as well as governmental agencies commonly use large multi-modular complexes to serve their interim administrative and operational space needs. Modulars offer customers quick, cost-effective space solutions while conserving their capital. The Company’s corporate offices and regional sales and inventory center offices are housed in various sizes of modular units.
Since most of Mobile Modular’s customer requirements are to fill temporary space needs, Mobile Modular’s marketing emphasis is primarily on rentals rather than sales. Mobile Modular attracts customers through its website at www.mobilemodular.com, internet advertising and direct marketing. Customers are encouraged to visit a regional sales and inventory center to view different models on display and to see a regional office, which is a working example of a modular application.
Because service is a major competitive factor in the rental of modulars, Mobile Modular offers quick response to requests for information, assistance in the choice of a suitable size and floor plan, in-house customization services, rapid delivery, timely installation and field service of its units. On Mobile Modular’s website, customers are able to view and select inventory for quotation and request in-field service.
Rentals
Rental periods range from one month to several years with a typical initial contract term between twelve and twenty four months. In general, monthly rental rates are determined by a number of factors including length of term, market demand, product availability and product type. Upon expiration of the initial term, or any extensions, rental rates are reviewed, and when appropriate, are adjusted based on current market conditions. Most rental agreements are operating leases that provide no purchase options, and when a rental agreement does provide the customer with a purchase option, it is generally on terms management believes to be attractive to Mobile Modular.
The customer is responsible for obtaining the necessary use permits and for the costs of insuring the unit, and is financially responsible for transporting the unit to the site, preparation of the site, installation of the unit, dismantle and return delivery of the unit to Mobile Modular, and certain costs for customization. Mobile Modular maintains the units in good working condition while on rent. Upon return, the units are inspected for damage and customers are billed for items considered beyond normal wear and tear. Generally, the units are then repaired for subsequent use. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and can include floor repairs, roof maintenance, cleaning, painting and other cosmetic repairs. The costs of major refurbishment of equipment are capitalized to the extent the refurbishment significantly improves the quality and adds value or life to the equipment.
At December 31, 2025, Mobile Modular owned 41,722 new or previously rented modulars, with an aggregate cost of $1,485.8 million including accessories, or an average cost per unit of $35,612. Utilization is calculated at the end of each month by dividing the cost of rental equipment on rent by the total cost of rental equipment, excluding new equipment inventory and accessory equipment. At December 31, 2025, fleet utilization was 70.7% and average fleet utilization during 2025 was 73.0%.
-6-
Sales
In addition to operating its rental fleet, Mobile Modular sells modulars to customers. These sales may arise out of its marketing efforts for the rental fleet and from existing equipment already on rent or from specific requests for new buildings for a permanent need. The Company has a dedicated team that focuses on these custom sale opportunities. Such sales can be of either new or used units from the rental fleet, which permits some turnover of older units. During 2025, Mobile Modular’s largest sale represented approximately 3% of Mobile Modular’s sales, 2% of the Company’s consolidated sales and 1% of the Company’s consolidated revenues.
Mobile Modular typically provides limited 90-day warranties on used modulars and passes through the manufacturers’ one-year warranty on new units to its customers. Warranty costs have not been significant to Mobile Modular’s operations to date, and the Company attributes this to its commitment to high quality standards and regular maintenance programs. However, there can be no assurance that warranty costs will continue to be insignificant to Mobile Modular’s operations in the future.
Enviroplex manufactures portable classrooms built to the requirements of the California Division of the State Architect and sells directly to California public school districts and other educational institutions.
Seasonality
Typically, during each calendar year, our highest numbers of classrooms are shipped for rental and sale orders during the second and third quarters for delivery and installation prior to the start of the upcoming school year. The majority of classrooms shipped in the second and third quarters have rental start dates during the third quarter, thereby making the fourth quarter the first full quarter of rental revenues recognized for these transactions.
Competition
Competition in the rental and sale of relocatable modular buildings is intense. Some of our competitors in the modular building leasing industry have a greater range of products and services, greater financial and marketing resources, larger customer bases, and greater name recognition than we have. In addition, a number of other smaller companies operate regionally throughout the country and have a stronger local presence in those places. Mobile Modular operates primarily in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, the Midwest, North Carolina, the Pacific Northwest, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington, D.C. Significant competitive factors in the rental business include availability, price, service, reliability, appearance and functionality of the product. Mobile Modular markets high quality, well-constructed and attractive modulars. Part of the Company’s strategy for modulars is to create facilities and infrastructure capabilities that its competitors cannot easily duplicate. The Company's facilities and related infrastructure enable it to modify modulars efficiently and cost effectively to meet its customers’ needs. Management's goal is to be more responsive at less expense. Management believes this strategy, together with its emphasis on prompt and efficient customer service, gives Mobile Modular a competitive advantage. Mobile Modular is determined to respond quickly to requests for information, and provide experienced assistance for the first-time user, rapid delivery and timely repair of its modular units. Mobile Modular’s already high level of efficiency and responsiveness continues to improve as the Company upgrades procedures, processes and computer systems that control its internal operations. The Company anticipates intense competition to continue and believes it must continue to improve its products and services to remain competitive in the market for modulars.
Classroom Rentals and Sales to Public Schools (K-12)
Mobile Modular and Enviroplex provide classroom and specialty space needs serving public and private schools, colleges and universities. Within the educational market, the rental (by Mobile Modular) and sale (by Enviroplex and Mobile Modular) of modulars to public school districts for use as portable classrooms, restroom buildings and administrative offices for kindergarten through grade twelve (K-12) are a significant portion of the Company’s revenues. Mobile Modular rents and sells classrooms in California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, North Carolina, the Pacific Northwest, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington, D.C. Enviroplex sells classrooms in the California market. California is Mobile Modular’s largest educational market. Historically, demand in this market has been fueled by shifting and fluctuating student populations, insufficient funding for new school construction, class size reduction programs, modernization of aging school facilities and the phasing out of portable classrooms no longer compliant with current building codes. The following table shows the approximate percentages of the Company’s modular rental and sales revenues, and of its consolidated rental and sales revenues for the past three years, that rentals and sales to these schools constitute:

Consolidated Rental and Sales Revenue percentage is calculated by dividing Modular rental and sales revenues to public schools (K-12) by the Company’s consolidated rental and sales revenues from continuing operations.
School Facility Funding
Funding for public school facilities is derived from a variety of sources including the passage of both statewide and local facility bond measures, operating budgets, developer fees, various taxes including parcel and sales taxes levied to support school operating budgets, and lottery funds. There is no certainty on the timing of the bond sales and it could take additional years before projects funded by these bonds generate meaningful demand for relocatable classrooms.

PORTABLE STORAGE CONTAINERS
Description
Portable Storage’s rental inventory is comprised of steel containers used to provide a temporary storage solution that is delivered to the customer’s location and addresses the need for secure, temporary storage with immediate access to the unit. The containers are comprised of the following products:
•
Storage containers, which consist of new and used steel shipping containers certified under International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”) standards, that provide a flexible, low cost alternative to warehousing, while offering greater security, convenience and immediate accessibility. Storage containers are made from weather-resistant corrugated steel and are 8 feet wide and available in lengths ranging from 8 to 53 feet, with 20-foot and 40-foot length containers being the most common.
•
Office containers are either modified or specifically manufactured containers that provide self-contained office space with maximum design flexibility. Office containers are often referred to as ground level offices (“GLOs”). GLOs provide the advantage of ground level accessibility and high security.
Competitive Strengths
Strong Industry Position - The Company believes that Portable Storage is one of the largest participants in the temporary portable storage rental industry in North America. Portable Storage has a national reach from branches serving the West, Pacific Northwest, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Midwest.
Expertise and Customer Service – The Company believes that Portable Storage has highly experienced operating management and branch employees. The Company believes that Portable Storage provides a superior level of customer service due to its strong relationship building skills, quality of fleet, driver development program and the quality of its responsiveness.
Asset Management – The Company believes that Portable Storage markets high quality, well-constructed and well-maintained rental products. The Company depreciates its containers over a 25-year estimated useful life to 62.5% residual value. We believe that if maintained, older containers will continue to produce similar rental rates as newer equipment. The fleet’s utilization is regionally optimized by understanding key vertical market customer demand, seasonality factors, competitors’ product availability and expected equipment returns.
Market
The portable storage container rental market in the U.S. has a large and diverse number of market segments including construction, retail, commercial and industrial, energy and petrochemical, manufacturing, education and healthcare.
The container rental products may be utilized throughout the U.S. and are not subject to any local or regional construction code or approval standards.
Rentals
Portable Storage rents its storage and office containers typically for rental periods of one to twelve months, although in some instances, rental terms can be over a year or longer. Monthly rental rates typically are between 2% and 4% of the equipment’s original acquisition cost. At December 31, 2025, Portable Storage owned 42,262 containers with an aggregate cost of $245.1 million or an average cost per unit of $5,801. Utilization is calculated each month by dividing the cost of the rental equipment on rent by the total cost of rental equipment, excluding new and accessory equipment. Utilization was 59.0% at December 31, 2025 and averaged 60.8% during the year.
Seasonality
Rental activity may vary depending upon the extent of retail activity that typically occurs during the fourth quarter and the impact inclement weather may have on construction activity.
Competition
The portable storage container rental industry is highly competitive. Some of our competitors may be larger than we are, have greater financial and other resources than we have, are more geographically diverse than we are and have greater name recognition among customers than we do. Portable Storage also competes against local companies that may have longer operating histories and a strong local presence. As a result, our competitors that have these advantages may be better able to attract and retain customers and provide their products and services at lower rental rates. Portable Storage competes with these companies based upon product availability, product quality, price and service. Portable Storage may encounter increased competition from existing competitors or from new entrants in the future.

ELECTRONIC TEST EQUIPMENT
Description
TRS-RenTelco rents and sells electronic test equipment nationally and internationally from two facilities located on the grounds of the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in Grapevine, Texas (the “Dallas facility”) and Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Canada (the “Montreal facility”). TRS-RenTelco’s revenues are derived from the rental and sale of general purpose and communications test equipment to a broad range of companies, from Fortune 500 to middle and smaller market companies, in the aerospace, defense, communications, manufacturing and semiconductor industries. Electronic test equipment revenues are primarily affected by the business activity within these industries related to research and development, manufacturing, and communication infrastructure installation and maintenance. The Dallas facility, TRS-RenTelco’s primary operating location, houses the electronic test equipment inventory, sales engineers, calibration laboratories, and operations staff for U.S. and international business. The Montreal facility houses sales engineers and operations staff to serve the Canadian market. As of December 31, 2025, the original cost of electronic test equipment inventory was comprised of 78% general purpose electronic test equipment and 22% communications electronic test equipment.
Engineers, technicians and scientists utilize general purpose electronic test equipment in developing products, controlling manufacturing processes, completing field service applications and evaluating the performance of their own electrical and electronic equipment. These instruments are rented primarily to aerospace, defense, electronics, industrial, research and semiconductor industries. To date, Keysight Technologies, Rhode & Schwarz and Tektronix, a division of Fortive Corporation, have manufactured the majority of TRS-RenTelco’s general purpose electronic test equipment with the remainder acquired from over 60 other manufacturers.
Communications test equipment, including fiber optic test equipment, is utilized by technicians, engineers and installation contractors to evaluate voice, data and multimedia communications networks, to install fiber optic cabling, and in the development and manufacturing of transmission, network and wireless products. These instruments are rented primarily to manufacturers of communications equipment and products, electrical and communications installation contractors, field technicians, and service providers. To date, Anritsu, Viavi Solutions and Fluke Networks, a division of Fortive Corporation, have manufactured a significant portion of TRS-RenTelco’s communications test equipment, with the remainder acquired from over 40 other manufacturers.
TRS-RenTelco’s general purpose test equipment rental inventory includes oscilloscopes, amplifiers, analyzers (spectrum, network and logic), signal source and power source test equipment. The communications test equipment rental inventory includes network and transmission test equipment for various fiber, copper and wireless networks. TRS-RenTelco occasionally rents electronic test equipment from other rental companies and re-rents the equipment to customers.
Competitive Strengths
Strong Industry Position - The Company believes that TRS-RenTelco is one of the largest electronic test equipment rental and leasing companies offering a broad and deep selection of general purpose and communications test equipment for rent in North America.
Expertise - The Company believes that its knowledge of products, technology and applications expertise provides it with a competitive advantage over others in the industry. Customer requirements are supported by application engineers and technicians that are knowledgeable about the equipment’s uses to ensure the right equipment is selected to meet the customer’s needs. This knowledge can be attributed to the experience of TRS-RenTelco’s management, sales and operational teams.
Operating Structure - TRS-RenTelco is supported by a centralized distribution and inventory center on the grounds of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport in Texas. The Company believes that the centralization of servicing all customers in North America and internationally by TRS-RenTelco’s experienced logistics teams provides a competitive advantage by minimizing transaction costs and enabling TRS-RenTelco to ensure customer requirements are met.
Asset Management - TRS-RenTelco’s rental equipment inventory is serviced by an ISO 9001-2015 registered and compliant calibration laboratory that repairs and calibrates equipment ensuring that off rent equipment is ready to ship immediately to meet customers’ needs. TRS-RenTelco’s team of technicians, product managers and sales personnel are continuously monitoring and analyzing the utilization of existing products, new technologies, general economic conditions and estimates of customer demand to ensure the right equipment is purchased and sold, at the right point in the equipment’s technology life cycle. The Company believes this enables it to maximize utilization of equipment and the cash flow generated by the rental and sales revenue of each model of equipment. TRS-RenTelco strives to maintain strong relationships with equipment manufacturers, which enables it to leverage those relationships to gain rental opportunities.
Customer Service - The Company believes that its focus on providing excellent service to its customers provides a competitive advantage. TRS-RenTelco strives to provide exemplary service to fulfill its commitments to its customers. TRS-RenTelco prides itself
-10-
in providing solutions to meet customers’ needs by having equipment available and responding quickly and thoroughly to their requests. TRS-RenTelco’s sophisticated in-house laboratory ensures the equipment is fully functional and meets its customers’ delivery requirements. Service needs of TRS-RenTelco’s customers are supported 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by its customer care specialists. TRS-RenTelco’s goal is to provide service beyond its customers’ expectations, which, the Company believes, results in customer loyalty and repeat business.
Market
Electronic test equipment rental is a market which we estimate has equipment on rent worldwide or available for rent with an aggregate original cost in excess of $1 billion. There is a broad customer base for the rental of such instruments, including aerospace, communications, defense, electrical contractor, electronics, industrial, installer contractor, network systems and research companies.
TRS-RenTelco markets its electronic test equipment throughout the United States, Canada, and, to a limited extent, other countries. TRS-RenTelco attracts customers through its outside sales force, website at www.TRSRenTelco.com, telemarketing program, trade show participation, paid internet search and electronic mail campaigns. A key part of the sales process is TRS-RenTelco’s knowledgeable inside sales engineering team that effectively matches test equipment solutions to meet specific customer’s requirements.
The Company believes that customers rent electronic test equipment for many reasons. Customers frequently need equipment for short-term projects, to evaluate new products, and for backup to avoid costly downtime. Delivery times for the purchase of such equipment can be lengthy; thus, renting allows the customer to obtain the equipment expeditiously. The Company also believes that the relative certainty of rental costs can facilitate cost control and be useful in the bidding of and pass-through of contract costs. Finally, renting rather than purchasing may better satisfy the customer’s budgetary constraints.
Rentals
TRS-RenTelco rents electronic test equipment typically for rental periods of one to six months, although in some instances, rental terms can be up to a year or longer. Monthly rental rates typically are between 2% and 10% of the current manufacturers’ list price. TRS-RenTelco depreciates its equipment over 1 to 8 years with no residual value.
At December 31, 2025, TRS-RenTelco had an electronic test equipment rental inventory including accessories with an aggregate cost of $337.1 million. Utilization is calculated each month by dividing the cost of the rental equipment on rent by the total cost of rental equipment, excluding accessory equipment. Utilization was 63.2% as of December 31, 2025 and averaged 63.8% during the year.
Sales
Profit from equipment sales is a material component of TRS-RenTelco’s overall annual earnings. Gross profit from sales of both used and new equipment over the last five years generally has ranged from approximately 21% to 27% of total annual gross profit for our electronics division. For 2025, gross profit on equipment sales was approximately 26% of total division gross profit. Equipment sales are driven by the turnover of older technology rental equipment, to maintain target utilization at a model number level, and new equipment sales opportunities. In 2025, approximately 22% of the electronic test equipment revenues were derived from sales. The largest electronic test equipment sale during 2025 represented 3% of electronic test equipment sales, less than 1% of the Company’s consolidated sales and less than 1% of consolidated revenues. There is intense competition in the sales of electronic test equipment from a world-wide network of test equipment brokers and resellers, legacy rental companies, and equipment manufacturers. We believe the annual world-wide sales of electronic test equipment is in excess of $8.0 billion per year.
Seasonality
Rental activity may decline in the fourth quarter month of December and the first quarter months of January and February. These months may have lower rental activity due to holiday closures, particularly by larger companies, inclement weather and its impact on various field related communications equipment rentals, and companies’ operational recovery from holiday closures which may impact the start-up of new projects coming online in the first quarter. These factors may impact the quarterly results of each year’s first and fourth quarter.
Competition
The electronic test equipment rental business is characterized by intense competition from several competitors, some of which may have access to greater financial and other resources than we do. TRS-RenTelco competes with these and other test equipment rental companies on the basis of product availability, price, service and reliability. Although no single competitor holds a dominant market share, we face intense competition from these established entities and new entrants in the market. Some of our competitors may offer similar equipment for lease, rental or sales at lower prices and may offer more extensive servicing, or financing options.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following discussion of various risks and uncertainties. We believe these risk factors are the most relevant to our business and could cause our results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made by us. Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be seriously harmed if any of these risks or uncertainties actually occur or materialize. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR STRATEGY AND OPERATIONS:
Our future operating results may fluctuate, fail to match past performance or fail to meet expectations, which may result in a decrease in our stock price.
Our operating results may fluctuate in the future, may fail to match our past performance or fail to meet the expectations of analysts and investors. Our results and related ratios, such as gross margin, operating income percentage and effective tax rate may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control including but not limited to:
•
general economic conditions in the geographies and industries where we rent and sell our products;
•
legislative and educational policies where we rent and sell our products;
•
the budgetary constraints of our customers;
•
seasonality of our rental businesses and our end-markets;
•
success of our strategic growth initiatives;
•
costs associated with the launching or integration of new or acquired businesses;
•
the timing and type of equipment purchases, rentals and sales;
•
the nature and duration of the equipment needs of our customers;
•
the timing of new product introductions by us, our suppliers and our competitors;
•
the volume, timing and mix of maintenance and repair work on our rental equipment;
•
supply chain delays or disruptions;
•
our equipment mix, availability, utilization and pricing;
•
inflation in the cost of materials, labor and new rental equipment;
•
the mix, by state and country, of our revenues, personnel and assets;
•
rental equipment impairment from excess, obsolete or damaged equipment;
•
movements in interest rates or tax rates;
•
changes in, and application of, accounting rules;
•
changes in the law and regulations applicable to our business operations; and
•
claims and litigation matters.
As a result of these factors, our historical financial results are not necessarily indicative of our future results or stock price.
Our stock price has fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate in the future, which may result in a decline in the value of your investment in our common stock.
The market price of our common stock fluctuates on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and is likely to be affected by a number of factors including but not limited to:
•
our operating performance and the performance of our competitors, and in particular any variations in our operating results or dividend rate from our stated guidance or from investors’ expectations;
•
any changes in general conditions in the global economy, the industries in which we operate or the global financial markets;
•
investors’ reaction to our press releases, public announcements or filings with the SEC;
•
the stock price performance of our competitors or other comparable companies;
-13-
•
any changes in research analysts’ coverage, recommendations or earnings estimates for us or for the stocks of other companies in our industry;
•
any sales of common stock by our directors, executive officers and our other large shareholders, particularly in light of the limited trading volume of our stock;
•
any merger, acquisition or divestiture activity that involves us or our competitors; and
•
other announcements or developments affecting us, our industry, customers, suppliers or competitors.
In addition, in recent years the U.S. stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations are often unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations and any other negative economic trends may cause declines in the market price of our common stock and may be based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our Company or its performance, and these fluctuations and trends could materially reduce our stock price.
Failure to successfully manage the transition associated with the appointment of our new Chief Executive Officer could have an adverse impact on our business.
On February 5, 2026, we announced the pending retirement of our CEO, Joseph Hanna, effective April 3, 2026. The Board appointed Philip Hawkins, currently our Chief Operating Officer, as our new Chief Executive Officer. CEO transitions can be inherently difficult to manage, may cause disruption to our business due to, among other things, diverting management’s attention away from our financial and operational goals during the transition or causing a deterioration in morale. During the transition period, there may be uncertainty among investors, customers, and other third parties, concerning our future direction and performance. It may also be more difficult for us to recruit and retain other personnel during the transition. Our business and stock price may suffer if the CEO transition is not perceived well by the investor community, customers and employees, or is otherwise unsuccessful.
Our ability to retain our executive management and to recruit, retain and motivate key qualified employees is critical to the success of our business.
If we cannot successfully recruit and retain qualified personnel, our operating results and stock price may suffer. We believe that our success is directly linked to the competent people in our organization, including our executive officers, senior managers and other key personnel. Personnel turnover can be costly and could materially and adversely impact our operating results and can potentially jeopardize the success of our current strategic initiatives. We need to attract and retain highly qualified personnel to replace personnel when turnover occurs, as well as add to our staff levels as growth occurs. Our business and stock price likely will suffer if we are unable to fill, or experience delays in filling open positions, or fail to retain key personnel.
Failure by third parties to manufacture and deliver our products to our specifications or on a timely basis may harm our reputation and financial condition.
We depend on third parties to manufacture our products even though we are able to purchase products from a variety of third-party suppliers. In the future, we may be limited as to the number of third-party suppliers for some of our products. Although in general, we make advance purchases of some products to help ensure an adequate supply, currently we do not have any long-term purchase contracts with any third-party supplier. We may experience supply problems as a result of financial or operating difficulties or failure of our suppliers, or shortages and discontinuations resulting from product obsolescence or other shortages or allocations by our suppliers. Unfavorable economic conditions may also adversely affect our suppliers or the terms on which we purchase products. In the future, we may not be able to negotiate arrangements with third parties to secure products that we require in sufficient quantities or on reasonable terms. If we cannot negotiate arrangements with third parties to produce our products or if the third parties fail to produce our products to our specifications or in a timely manner, our reputation and financial condition could be harmed.
We have engaged in acquisitions and may engage in future acquisitions that could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and business.
We anticipate that we will continue to consider acquisitions in the future that meet our strategic growth plans. We are unable to predict whether or when any prospective acquisition will be completed. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the following:
•
difficulties in integrating the operations, technologies, products and personnel of the acquired companies;
•
diversion of management’s attention from normal daily operations of our business;
•
difficulties in entering markets in which we have no or limited direct prior experience and where competitors in such markets may have stronger market positions;
•
regulatory hurdles in completing the transaction;
-14-
•
difficulties in complying with regulations applicable to any acquired business, such as environmental regulations, and managing risks related to an acquired business;
•
timely completion of necessary financing and required amendments, if any, to existing agreements;
•
an inability to implement uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
•
undiscovered and unknown problems, defects, damaged assets liabilities, or other issues related to any acquisition that become known to us only after the acquisition;
•
negative reactions from our customers to an acquisition;
•
disruptions among employees related to any acquisition which may erode employee morale;
•
loss of key employees, including costly litigation resulting from the termination of those employees;
•
an inability to realize cost efficiencies or synergies that we may anticipate when selecting acquisition candidates;
•
recording of goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets that will be subject to future impairment testing and potential periodic impairment charges;
•
incurring amortization expenses related to certain intangible assets; and
•
becoming subject to litigation.
Acquisitions are inherently risky, and no assurance can be given that our recent and future acquisitions will be successful or will not adversely affect our business, operating results, or financial condition. The success of our acquisition strategy depends upon our ability to successfully complete acquisitions and integrate any businesses that we acquire into our existing business. The difficulties of integration could be increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically dispersed organizations; maintaining acceptable standards, controls, procedures and policies; integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds; combining different corporate cultures; and the impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management and other personnel. In addition, if we consummate one or more significant future acquisitions in which the consideration consists of stock or other securities, our existing shareholders’ ownership could be diluted significantly. If we were to proceed with one or more significant future acquisitions in which the consideration included cash, we could be required to use, to the extent available, a substantial portion of our Credit Facility. If we increase the amount borrowed against our available credit line, we would increase the risk of breaching the covenants under our credit facilities with our lenders. In addition, it would limit our ability to make other investments, or we may be required to seek additional debt or equity financing. Any of these items could adversely affect our results of operations.
We continually assess the strategic fit of our existing businesses and may divest or otherwise dispose of businesses that are deemed not to fit with our strategic plan or are not achieving the desired return on investment, and we cannot be certain that our business, operating results and financial condition will not be materially and adversely affected.
A successful divestiture depends on various factors, including reaching an agreement with potential buyers on terms we deem attractive, as well as our ability to effectively transfer liabilities, contracts, facilities, and employees to any purchaser, identify and separate the assets to be divested from the assets that we wish to retain, reduce fixed costs previously associated with the divested assets or business, and collect the proceeds from any divestitures. These efforts require varying levels of management resources, which may divert our attention from other business operations. If we do not realize the expected benefits of any divestiture transaction, our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows could be negatively impacted. In addition, divestitures of businesses involve a number of risks, including significant costs and expenses, the loss of customer relationships and a decrease in revenues and earnings associated with the divested business. Furthermore, divestitures potentially involve significant post-closing separation activities, which could involve the expenditure of material financial resources and significant employee resources. Any divestiture may result in a dilutive impact to our future earnings if we are unable to offset the dilutive impact from the loss of revenue associated with the divestiture, as well as significant write-offs, including those related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
If we determine that our goodwill and intangible assets have become impaired, we may incur impairment charges, which would negatively impact our operating results.
At December 31, 2025, we had $379.1 million of goodwill and intangible assets, net, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we assess potential impairment of our goodwill and intangible assets at least annually, as well as on an interim basis to the extent that factors or indicators become apparent that could reduce the fair value of any
-15-
of our businesses below book value. Impairment may result from significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired asset, negative industry or economic trends and significant underperformance relative to historic or projected operating results.
Our rental equipment is subject to residual value risk upon disposition and may not sell at the prices or in the quantities we expect.
The market value of any given piece of rental equipment could be less than its depreciated value at the time it is sold. The market value of used rental equipment depends on several factors, including:
•
the market price for new equipment of a like kind;
•
the age of the equipment at the time it is sold, as well as wear and tear on the equipment relative to its age;
•
the supply of used equipment on the market;
•
technological advances relating to the equipment;
•
worldwide and domestic demand for used equipment; and
•
general economic conditions.
We include in income from operations the difference between the sales price and the depreciated value of an item of equipment sold. Changes in our assumptions regarding depreciation could change our depreciation expense, as well as the gain or loss realized upon disposal of equipment. Sales of our used rental equipment at prices that fall significantly below our projections or in lesser quantities than we anticipate will have a negative impact on our results of operations and cash flows.
If we do not effectively manage our credit risk, collect on our accounts receivable or recover our rental equipment from our customers’ sites, it could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
We generally rent and sell to customers on 30 day payment terms, individually perform credit evaluation procedures on our customers for each transaction and require security deposits or other forms of security from our customers when a significant credit risk is identified. Historically, accounts receivable write-offs and write-offs related to equipment not returned by customers have not been significant and have averaged less than 1% of total revenues over the last five years. If economic conditions deteriorate, we may see an increase in credit losses relative to historical levels, which may materially and adversely affect our operations. Business segments that experience significant market disruptions or declines may experience increased customer credit risk and higher credit losses. Failure to manage our credit risk and receive timely payments on our customer accounts receivable may result in write-offs and/or loss of equipment, particularly electronic test equipment. If we are not able to effectively manage credit risk issues, or if a large number of our customers should have financial difficulties at the same time, our receivables and equipment losses could increase above historical levels. If this should occur, our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Effective management of our rental assets is vital to our business. If we are not successful in these efforts, it could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
Our modular, containers and electronics rental products have long useful lives and managing those assets is a critical element to each of our rental businesses. Generally, we design units and find manufacturers to build them to our specifications for our modulars and containers. Modular asset management requires designing and building the product for a long life that anticipates the needs of our customers, including anticipating potential changes in legislation, regulations, building codes and local permitting in the various markets in which the Company operates. Electronic test equipment asset management requires understanding, selecting and investing in equipment technologies that support market demand, including anticipating technological advances and changes in manufacturers’ selling prices. Container asset management requires obtaining high quality, well-constructed products and repairing and maintaining the products to ensure its long life. For each of our modular, container and electronic test equipment assets, we must successfully maintain and repair this equipment cost-effectively to maximize the useful life of the products and the level of proceeds from the sale of such products. To the extent that we are unable to do so, our result of operations could be materially adversely affected.
We are subject to information technology system failures, network disruptions and breaches in data security which could subject us to liability, reputational damage or interrupt the operation of our business.
We rely upon our information technology systems and infrastructure for our business. We sustained an immaterial cybersecurity attack in 2021. Upon detection, we promptly undertook steps to address the incident, restored network systems and resumed normal operations. The attack did not result in any material disruption to our operations or ability to service our customers and did not affect our financial performance.
In the future, we could experience additional breaches of our security measures resulting in the theft of confidential information or reputational damage from industrial espionage attacks, malware or other cyber-attacks, which may compromise our system
-16-
infrastructure or lead to data leakage, either internally or at our third-party providers. Similarly, additional data privacy breaches by those who access our systems may pose a risk that sensitive data, including intellectual property, trade secrets or personal information belonging to us, our employees, customers or other business partners, may be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public.
Any future breaches could subject us to reputational damage. Cyber-attacks are increasing in their frequency, sophistication and intensity, and have become increasingly difficult to detect. We expend significant resources to minimize the risk of security breaches, including deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, training employees annually, and engaging third-party experts and contractors. Significant and increasing investments of time and resources by management and Board have been, and will continue to be, required to anticipate and address cybersecurity risks and incidents. However, given that the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently, and often are not identified until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures in time to stop a cyber incident. Thus, there can be no assurance that our efforts to protect our data and information technology systems will prevent future breaches in our systems (or that of our third-party providers). Such breaches could adversely affect our business and result in financial and reputational harm to us, theft of trade secrets and other proprietary information, legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, and regulatory penalties.
Disruptions in our information technology systems or failure to protect these systems against security breaches could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Additionally, if these systems fail, become unavailable for any period of time or are not upgraded, this could limit our ability to effectively monitor and control our operations and adversely affect our operations.
Our information technology systems facilitate our ability to transact business, monitor and control our operations and adjust to changing market conditions. We sustained an immaterial cybersecurity attack in 2021 involving ransomware that impacted certain of our systems, but was unsuccessful in its ability to disrupt our network. Upon detection, we promptly undertook steps to address the incident, restored network systems and resumed normal operations. Any future cybersecurity attack causing disruption in our information technology systems or the failure of these systems to operate as expected could, depending on the magnitude of the problem, adversely affect our operating results by limiting our capacity to effectively transact business, monitor and control our operations and adjust to changing market conditions in a timely manner.
As part of our business, we develop, receive and retain confidential data about our company and our customers. In addition, because of recent advances in technology and well-known efforts on the part of computer hackers and cyber-terrorists to breach data security of companies, we face risks associated with failure to adequately protect critical corporate, customer and employee data, which could adversely impact our customer relationships, our reputation, and even violate privacy laws.
Further, the delay or failure to implement information system upgrades and new systems effectively could disrupt our business, distract management’s focus and attention from our business operations and growth initiatives, and increase our implementation and operating costs, any of which could negatively impact our operations and operating results.
The nature of our businesses, including the ownership of industrial property, exposes us to the risk of litigation and liability under environmental, health and safety and products liability laws. Violations of environmental or health and safety related laws or associated liability could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to national, state, provincial and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, hazardous substance handling, storage and disposal and employee health and safety. These laws and regulations are complex and frequently change. We could incur unexpected costs, penalties and other civil and criminal liability if we fail to comply with applicable environmental or health and safety laws. We also could incur costs or liabilities related to waste disposal or remediating soil or groundwater contamination at our properties, at our customers’ properties or at third party landfill and disposal sites. These liabilities can be imposed on the parties generating, transporting or disposing of such substances or on the owner or operator of any affected property, often without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous substances.
Several aspects of our businesses involve risks of environmental and health and safety liability. For example, our operations involve the use of petroleum products, solvents and other hazardous substances in the construction and maintaining of modular buildings and for fueling and maintaining our delivery trucks and vehicles. The historical operations at some of our previously or currently owned or leased and newly acquired or leased properties may have resulted in undiscovered soil or groundwater contamination or historical non-compliance by third parties for which we could be held liable. Future events, such as changes in existing laws or policies or their enforcement, or the discovery of currently unknown contamination or non-compliance, may also give rise to liabilities or other claims
-17-
based on these operations that may be material. In addition, compliance with future environmental or health and safety laws and regulations may require significant capital or operational expenditures or changes to our operations.
Accordingly, in addition to potential penalties for non-compliance, we may become liable, either contractually or by operation of law, for investigation, remediation and monitoring costs even if the contaminated property is not presently owned or operated by us, or if the contamination was caused by third parties during or prior to our ownership or operation of the property. In addition, certain parties may be held liable for more than their “fair” share of environmental investigation and cleanup costs. Contamination and exposure to hazardous substances or other contaminants such as mold can also result in claims for remediation or damages, including personal injury, property damage, and natural resources damage claims. Although expenses related to environmental compliance, health and safety issues, and related matters have not been material to date, we cannot assure that we will not have to make significant expenditures in the future in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Violations of environmental or health and safety related laws or associated liability could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In general, litigation in the industries in which we operate, including class actions that seek substantial damages, arises with increasing frequency. Enforcement of environmental and health and safety requirements is also frequent. Such proceedings are invariably expensive, regardless of the merit of the plaintiffs’ or prosecutors’ claims. We may be named as a defendant in the future, and there can be no assurance, irrespective of the merit of such future actions, that we will not be required to make substantial settlement payments in the future. Further, a significant portion of our business is conducted in California which is one of the most highly regulated and litigious states in the country. Therefore, our potential exposure to losses and expenses due to new laws, regulations or litigation may be greater than companies with a less significant California presence.
The nature of our business also subjects us to property damage and product liability claims, especially in connection with our modular buildings and portable storage rental businesses. Although we maintain liability coverage that we believe is commercially reasonable, an unusually large property damage or product liability claim or a series of claims could exceed our insurance coverage or result in damage to our reputation.
Our routine business activities expose us to risk of litigation from employees, vendors and other third parties, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We may be subject to claims arising from disputes with employees, vendors and other third parties in the normal course of our business; these risks may be difficult to assess or quantify and their existence and magnitude may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. If the plaintiffs in any suits against us were to successfully prosecute their claims, or if we were to settle any such suits by making significant payments to the plaintiffs, our operating results and financial condition would be harmed. Even if the outcome of a claim proves favorable to us, litigation can be time consuming and costly and may divert management resources. In addition, our organizational documents require us to indemnify our senior executives to the maximum extent permitted by California law. We maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that we believe is commercially reasonable in connection with such obligations, but if our senior executives were named in any lawsuit, our indemnification obligations could magnify the costs of these suits and/or exceed the coverage of such policies.
If we suffer loss to our facilities, equipment or distribution system due to catastrophe, our insurance policies could be inadequate or depleted, our operations could be seriously harmed, which could negatively affect our operating results.
Our facilities, rental equipment and distribution systems may be subject to catastrophic loss due to fire, flood, hurricane, earthquake, terrorism or other natural or man-made disasters. In particular, our headquarters, three operating facilities, and certain of our rental equipment are located in areas of California, with above average seismic activity and could be subject to catastrophic loss caused by an earthquake. Our rental equipment and facilities in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina and Georgia are located in areas subject to hurricanes and other tropical storms. In addition to customers’ insurance on rented equipment, we carry property insurance on our rental equipment in inventory and operating facilities as well as business interruption insurance. We believe our insurance policies have adequate limits and deductibles to mitigate the potential loss exposure of our business. We do not maintain financial reserves for policy deductibles and our insurance policies contain exclusions that are customary for our industry, including exclusions for earthquakes, flood and terrorism. If any of our facilities or a significant amount of our rental equipment were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could disrupt our operations, delay orders, shipments and revenue recognition and result in expenses to repair or replace the damaged rental equipment and facility not covered by insurance, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our debt instruments contain covenants that restrict or prohibit our ability to enter into a variety of transactions and may limit our ability to finance future operations or capital needs. If we have an event of default under these instruments, our indebtedness could be accelerated, and we may not be able to refinance such indebtedness or make the required accelerated payments.
The agreements governing our 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”) and our Credit Facility contain various covenants that limit our discretion in operating our business. In particular, we are limited in our ability to merge, consolidate, reorganize or transfer substantially all of our assets, make investments, pay dividends or distributions, redeem or repurchase stock, change the nature of our business, enter into transactions with affiliates, incur indebtedness and create liens on our assets to secure debt. In addition, we are required to meet certain financial covenants under these instruments. These restrictions could limit our ability to obtain future financing, make strategic acquisitions or needed capital expenditures, withstand economic downturns in our business or the economy in general, conduct operations or otherwise take advantage of business opportunities that may arise.
A failure to comply with the restrictions contained in these agreements could lead to an event of default, which could result in an acceleration of our indebtedness. In the event of an acceleration, we may not have or be able to obtain sufficient funds to refinance our indebtedness or make any required accelerated payments. If we default on our indebtedness, our business financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
The majority of our indebtedness is subject to variable interest rates, which makes us vulnerable to increases in interest rates, which could negatively affect our net income.
Our indebtedness exposes us to interest rate increases because the majority of our indebtedness is subject to variable rates. At present, we do not have any derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps or hedges to mitigate interest rate variability. The interest rates under our credit facilities are reset at varying periods. These interest rate adjustments could cause periodic fluctuations in our operating results and cash flows. Our annual debt service obligations increase by approximately $2.7 million per year for each 1% increase in the average interest rate we pay based on the $265.0 million balance of variable rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2025. If interest rates rise in the future, and, particularly if they rise significantly, interest expense will increase and our net income will be negatively affected.
SPECIFIC RISKS RELATED TO OUR RELOCATABLE MODULAR BUILDINGS AND PORTABLE STORAGE BUSINESS SEGMENTS:
Significant reductions of, or delays in, funding to public schools have caused the demand and pricing for our modular classroom units to decline, which has in the past caused, and may cause in the future, a reduction in our revenues and profitability.
Rentals and sales of modular buildings to public school districts for use as classrooms, restroom buildings, and administrative offices for K-12 represent a significant portion of Mobile Modular’s rental and sales revenues. Funding for public school facilities is derived from a variety of sources including the passage of both statewide and local facility bond measures, developer fees and various taxes levied to support school operating budgets. Many of these funding sources are subject to financial and political considerations, which vary from district to district and are not tied to demand. Historically, we have benefited from the passage of statewide and local facility bond measures and believe these are essential to our business.
The state of California is our largest market for classroom rentals. The strength of this market depends heavily on public funding from voter passage of both state and local facility bond measures, and the ability of the state to sell such bonds in the public market. A lack of passage of state and local facility bond measures, or the inability to sell bonds in the public markets in the future could reduce our revenues and operating income, and consequently have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. Furthermore, even if voters have approved facility bond measures and the state has raised bond funds, there is no guarantee that individual school projects will be funded in a timely manner.
To the extent public school districts’ funding is reduced for the rental and purchase of modular buildings, our business could be harmed and our results of operations negatively impacted. We believe that interruptions or delays in the passage of facility bond measures or completion of state budgets, an insufficient amount of state funding, a significant reduction of funding to public schools, or changes negatively impacting enrollment may reduce the rental and sale demand for our educational products. Any reductions in funding available to the school districts from the states in which we do business may cause school districts to experience budget shortfalls and to reduce their demand for our products despite growing student populations, class size reduction initiatives and modernization and reconstruction project needs, which could reduce our revenues and operating income and consequently have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.
Fluctuations in the construction industry could cause the demand and pricing for our modular buildings and portable storage units to decline, which has in the past caused, and may cause in the future, a reduction in our revenues and profitability.
-19-
We rent and sell modular buildings and portable storage units to commercial contractors, builders and other customers associated with the construction industry, and derive a meaningful portion of our total revenues from such industry. Changes in the construction industry related to demand, interest rate fluctuations, available capital, and other factors, could decrease the market for our products and cause a decrease in our rental revenues as well as result in volatility in the timing and amount of new modular sales revenues.
Public policies that create demand for our products and services may change, resulting in decreased demand for or the pricing of our products and services, which could negatively affect our revenues and operating income.
Various states where we operate enacted laws and constitutional amendments to provide funding for school districts to limit the number of students that may be grouped in a single classroom. School districts with class sizes in excess of state limits have been and continue to be a significant source of our demand for modular classrooms. In California, efforts to address aging infrastructure and deferred maintenance have resulted in modernization and reconstruction projects by public school districts including seismic retrofitting, asbestos abatement and various building repairs and upgrades, which has been another source of demand for our modular classrooms. The most recent economic recession caused state and local budget shortfalls, which reduced school districts’ funding and their ability to comply with state class size reduction requirements. If educational priorities and policies shift away from class-size reduction or modernization and reconstruction projects, demand and pricing for our products and services may decline, not grow as quickly as, or not reach the levels that we anticipate. Further, declines in public school enrollment could result in lower demand for modular classrooms. Significant equipment returns may result in lower utilization until equipment can be redeployed or sold, which may cause rental rates to decline and negatively affect our revenues and operating income. Additionally, declining public school enrollment could lead to decreased demand for our products and services.
Our business is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations, which can change from time to time, governing construction, environmental health and safety, labor and employment, government contracts, transportation, immigration, anti-corruption, anti-trust and privacy, among others. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could harm our business and financial condition, resulting in lower operating results and cash flows.
Similar to conventionally constructed buildings, the modular building industry, including the manufacturers and lessors of portable classrooms, are subject to regulations by multiple governmental agencies at the federal, state and local level relating to environmental, zoning, health, safety, energy efficiency, labor and transportation matters, among other matters. Failure to comply with these laws or regulations could impact our business or harm our reputation and result in higher capital or operating expenditures or the imposition of penalties or restrictions on our operations.
As with conventional construction, typically new codes and regulations are not retroactively applied. Nonetheless, new governmental regulations in these or other areas may increase our acquisition cost of new rental equipment, limit the use of or make obsolete some of our existing equipment, or increase our costs of rental operations.
Building codes are generally reviewed every three years. All aspects of a given code are subject to change including, but not limited to, such items as structural specifications for earthquake safety, energy efficiency and environmental standards, fire and life safety, transportation, lighting and noise limits.
Compliance with building codes and regulations entails a certain amount of risk as state and local government authorities do not necessarily interpret building codes and regulations in a consistent manner, particularly where applicable regulations may be unclear and subject to interpretation. These regulations often provide broad discretion to governmental authorities that oversee these matters, which can result in unanticipated delays or increases in the cost of compliance in particular markets. The construction and modular industries have developed many “best practices” which are constantly evolving. Some of our peers and competitors may adopt practices that are more or less stringent than the Company’s. When, and if, regulatory standards are clarified, the effect of the clarification may be to impose rules on our business and practices retroactively, at which time, we may not be in compliance with such regulations and we may be required to incur costly remediation. If we are unable to pass these increased costs on to our customers, our profitability, operating cash flows and financial condition could be negatively impacted.
-20-
We are subject to laws and regulations governing government contracts. These laws and regulations expose us to business volatility and risks, including government budgeting cycles and appropriations, potential early termination of contracts, procurement regulations, governmental policy shifts, audits, investigations, sanctions and penalties. Furthermore, these laws and regulations make these government contracts more favorable to government entities than other third parties and any changes in these laws and regulations, or our failure to comply with these laws and regulations could harm our business.
Mobile Modular and Portable Storage derive a portion of its revenues from contracts with U.S. federal government entities, government prime contractors, state entities and local entities, including school districts, and such revenues are growing. Contracts with government entities are subject to budgetary constraints, and our continued performance under our contracts with these agencies and their prime contractors, or award of additional contracts from these agencies or their prime contractors, could be jeopardized by spending reductions or budget cutbacks at these agencies.
In addition, such government contracts are subject to unique laws and regulations, and the adoption of new laws or regulations relating to government contracting or changes to existing laws or regulations. New laws, regulations or procurement requirements, or changes to current ones, can significantly increase our costs and risks and reduce profitability. The laws governing government contracts may differ from the laws governing private contracts. For example, many government contracts contain pricing terms and conditions that are not applicable to private contracts such as clauses that allow government entities not to perform on contractual obligations in the case of a lack of fiscal funding. In working with government entities, we must comply with laws, regulations, and contractual provisions relating to the administration, and performance of government contracts, which affect how we and our partners do business with government agencies. As a result of actual or perceived noncompliance with government contracting laws, regulations, or contractual provisions, we may be subject to audits and internal investigations which may prove costly to our business financially, divert management time, or limit our ability to continue to provide services to our government customers. These laws and regulations may impose other added costs on our business, and failure to comply with these or other applicable regulations and requirements could lead to claims for damages from our partners, penalties, and termination of contracts and suspension or debarment from government contracting for a period of time with government agencies. Any such damages, penalties, disruption, or limitation in our ability to do business with a government could adversely impact our business and growth prospects. Furthermore, in the educational markets we serve, we are able to utilize “piggyback” contracts in marketing our products and services and ultimately to book business. The term “piggyback” contract refers to contracts for portable classrooms or other products entered into by public school districts following a formal bid process that allows for the use of the same contract terms and conditions with the successful vendor by other public school districts. As a result, “piggyback” contracts allow us to more readily book orders from our government customers, primarily public school districts, and to reduce the administrative expense associated with booking these orders. The governmental statutes and regulations that allow for use of “piggyback” contracts are subject to change or elimination in their entirety. A change in the manner of use or the elimination of “piggyback” contracts would likely negatively impact our ability to book new business from these government customers and could cause our administrative expenses related to processing these orders to increase significantly. In addition, any failure to comply with these laws and regulations might result in administrative penalties or even in the suspension of these contracts and as a result, the loss of the related revenues which would harm our business and results from operations.
Expansions of our modular and portable storage operations into new markets may negatively affect our operating results.
In the past we have expanded our modular and portable storage operations into new geographies and states. There are risks inherent in the undertaking of such expansion, including the risk of revenue from the business in any new markets not meeting our expectations, higher than expected costs in entering these new markets, risk associated with compliance with applicable state and local laws and regulations, response by competitors and unanticipated consequences of expansion. In addition, expansion into new markets may be affected by local economic and market conditions. Expansion of our operations into new markets will require a significant amount of attention from our management, a commitment of financial resources and will require us to add qualified management in these markets, which may negatively impact our operating results.
Seasonality of our educational business may have adverse consequences for our modular building business.
A significant portion of the modular sale and rental revenues is derived from the educational market. Typically, during each calendar year, our highest numbers of classrooms are shipped for rental and sale orders during the second and third quarters for delivery and installation prior to the start of the upcoming school year. The majority of classrooms shipped in the second and third quarters have rental start dates during the third quarter, thereby making the fourth quarter the first full quarter of rental revenues recognized for these transactions. Although this is the historical seasonality of our business, it is subject to change or may not meet our expectations, which may have adverse consequences for our business.
We face strong competition in our modular building and portable storage markets and we may not be able to effectively compete.
The modular building and portable storage leasing industries are highly competitive in our states of operation and we expect it to remain so. The competitive market in which we operate may prevent us from raising rental fees or sales prices to pass any increased costs on to our customers. We compete on the basis of a number of factors, including equipment and labor availability, quality, price,
-21-
service, reliability, appearance, functionality and delivery terms. We may experience pricing pressures in our areas of operation in the future as some of our competitors seek to obtain market share by reducing prices.
Some of our competitors in the modular building leasing industry have greater range of products and services, greater financial and marketing resources, larger customer bases, vertical integration for efficiency and greater name recognition than we have. These competitors may be better able to respond to changes in the relocatable modular building and portable storage container markets, to finance acquisitions, to fund internal growth and to compete for market share, any of which could harm our business.
We may not be able to quickly redeploy modular and container units returning from leases, which could negatively affect our financial performance and our ability to expand, or utilize, our rental fleet.
As of December 31, 2025, 61% of our modular and 56% of our container portfolios had equipment on rent for periods exceeding the original committed term. Generally, when a customer continues to rent the units beyond the contractual term, the equipment rents on a month-to-month basis. If a significant number of our rented units were returned during a short period of time, particularly those units that are rented on a month-to-month basis, a large supply of units would need to be remarketed. Our failure to effectively remarket a large influx of units returning from leases could negatively affect our financial performance and our ability to continue expanding our rental fleet. In addition, if returned units stay off rent for an extended period of time, we may incur additional costs to securely store and maintain them.
Significant increases in raw material and labor costs could increase our acquisition cost of new modular rental units and repair and maintenance costs of our fleet, which would increase our operating costs and harm our profitability.
We incur labor costs and purchase raw materials, including lumber, siding and roofing and other products to perform periodic repairs, modifications and refurbishments to maintain physical conditions of our modular units. The volume, timing and mix of maintenance and repair work on our rental equipment may vary quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. Generally, increases in labor and raw material costs will also increase the acquisition cost of new modular units and increase the repair and maintenance costs of our fleet. We also maintain a fleet of service trucks and use subcontractor companies for the delivery, set-up, return delivery and dismantle of modulars for our customers. We rely on our drivers and subcontractor service companies to meet customer demands for timely shipment and return, and the loss or inadequate number of driver and subcontractor service companies may cause prices to increase, while negatively impacting our reputation and operating performance. During periods of rising prices for labor, raw materials or fuel, and in particular, when the prices increase rapidly or to levels significantly higher than normal, we may incur significant increases in our acquisition costs for new modular units and incur higher operating costs that we may not be able to recoup from our customers, which would reduce our profitability.
Failure by third parties to manufacture our products timely or properly may harm our reputation and financial condition.
We are dependent on third parties to manufacture our products even though we are able to purchase products from a variety of third-party suppliers. Mobile Modular purchases new modulars from various manufacturers who build to Mobile Modular’s design specifications. Mobile Modular's principal suppliers are not affiliated with the Company. During 2025, Mobile Modular purchased 27% of its modular product from one manufacturer. The Company believes that the loss of any of its primary manufacturers of modulars could have an adverse effect on its operations since Mobile Modular could experience higher prices and longer delivery lead times for modular product until other manufacturers were able to increase their production capacity.
Failure to properly design, manufacture, repair and maintain the modular product may result in impairment charges, potential litigation and reduction of our operating results and cash flows.
We estimate the useful life of the modular product to be 18 years with a residual value of 50% and containers to be 25 years with a residual value of 62.5%. However, proper design, manufacture, repairs and maintenance of the products during our ownership is required for the product to reach their useful lives and residual values. If we do not appropriately manage the design, manufacture, repair and maintenance of our modular product, or otherwise delay or defer such repair or maintenance, we may be required to incur impairment charges for equipment that is beyond economic repair costs or incur significant capital expenditures to acquire new modular product to serve demand. In addition, such failures may result in personal injury or property damage claims, including claims based on presence of mold, and termination of leases or contracts by customers. Costs of contract performance, potential litigation, and profits lost from termination could accordingly reduce our future operating results and cash flows.
Our warranty costs may increase and warranty claims could damage our reputation and negatively impact our revenues and operating income.
Sales of new relocatable modular buildings not manufactured by us are typically covered by warranties provided by the manufacturer of the products sold. We provide ninety-day warranties on certain modular sales of used rental units and one-year
-22-
warranties on equipment manufactured by our Enviroplex subsidiary. Historically, our warranty costs have not been significant, and we monitor the quality of our products closely. If a defect were to arise in the installation of our equipment at the customer’s facilities or in the equipment acquired from our suppliers or by our Enviroplex subsidiary, we may experience increased warranty claims. Such claims could disrupt our sales operations, damage our reputation and require costly repairs or other remedies, negatively impacting revenues and operating income.
SPECIFIC RISKS RELATED TO OUR ELECTRONIC TEST EQUIPMENT BUSINESS SEGMENT:
Market risk and cyclical downturns in the industries using test equipment may result in periods of low demand for our product resulting in excess inventory, impairment charges and reduction of our operating results and cash flows.
TRS-RenTelco’s revenues are derived from the rental and sale of general purpose and communications test equipment to a broad range of companies, from Fortune 500 to middle and smaller market companies, in the aerospace, defense, communications, manufacturing and semiconductor industries. Electronic test equipment rental and sales revenues are primarily affected by the business activity within these industries related to research and development, manufacturing, and communication infrastructure installation and maintenance. Historically, these industries have been cyclical and have experienced periodic downturns, which can have a material adverse impact on the industry’s demand for equipment, including our rental electronic test equipment. In addition, the severity and length of any downturn in an industry may also affect overall access to capital, which could adversely affect our customers and result in excess inventory and impairment charges. During periods of reduced and declining demand for test equipment, we are exposed to additional receivable risk from non-payment and may need to rapidly align our cost structure with prevailing market conditions, which may negatively impact our operating results and cash flows.
Seasonality of our electronic test equipment business may impact quarterly results.
Generally, rental activity declines in the fourth quarter month of December and the first quarter months of January and February. These months may have lower rental activity due to holiday closures, particularly by larger companies, inclement weather and its impact on various field related communications equipment rentals, and companies’ operational recovery from holiday closures which may impact the start-up of new projects coming online in the first quarter. These seasonal factors historically have impacted quarterly results in each year’s first and fourth quarter, but we are unable to predict how such factors may impact future periods.
Our rental test equipment may become obsolete or may no longer be supported by a manufacturer, which could result in an impairment charge.
Electronic test equipment is characterized by changing technology and evolving industry standards that may render our existing equipment obsolete through new product introductions, or enhancements, before the end of its anticipated useful life, causing us to incur impairment charges. We must anticipate and keep pace with the introduction of new hardware, software and networking technologies and acquire equipment that will be marketable to our current and prospective customers.
Additionally, some manufacturers of our equipment may be acquired or cease to exist, resulting in a future lack of support for equipment purchased from those manufacturers. This could result in the remaining useful life becoming shorter, causing us to incur an impairment charge. We monitor our manufacturers’ capacity to support their products and the introduction of new technologies, and we acquire equipment that will be marketable to our current and prospective customers. However, any prolonged economic downturn could result in unexpected bankruptcies or reduced support from our manufacturers. Failure to properly select, manage and respond to the technological needs of our customers and changes to our products through their technology life cycle may cause certain electronic test equipment to become obsolete, resulting in impairment charges, which may negatively impact operating results and cash flows.
If we do not effectively compete in the rental equipment market, our operating results will be materially and adversely affected.
The electronic test equipment rental business is characterized by intense competition from several competitors, some of which may have access to greater financial and other resources than we do. Although no single competitor holds a dominant market share, we face competition from these established entities and new entrants in the market. We believe that we anticipate and keep pace with the introduction of new products and acquire equipment that will be marketable to our current and prospective customers. We compete on the basis of a number of factors, including product availability, price, service and reliability. Some of our competitors may offer similar equipment for lease, rental or sale at lower prices and may offer more extensive servicing, or financing options. Failure to adequately forecast the adoption of, and demand for, new or existing products may cause us not to meet our customers’ equipment requirements and may materially and adversely affect our operating results.
-23-
If we are not able to obtain equipment at favorable rates, there could be a material adverse effect on our operating results and reputation.
The majority of our rental equipment portfolio is comprised of general purpose test and measurement instruments purchased from leading manufacturers. We depend on purchasing equipment from these manufacturers and suppliers for use as our rental equipment. If, in the future, we are not able to purchase necessary equipment from one or more of these suppliers on favorable terms, we may not be able to meet our customers’ demands in a timely manner or for a rental rate that generates a profit. If this should occur, we may not be able to secure necessary equipment from an alternative source on acceptable terms and our business and reputation may be materially and adversely affected.
Our business is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations, in each of the jurisdictions in which we conduct business within the U.S. and internationally, related to government contracts, immigration, export control, anti-corruption, anti-trust, privacy, environmental health and safety, labor and employment, among others. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could harm our business and financial condition, resulting in lower operating results and cash flows. More specifically, if we are not able to anticipate and mitigate the risks associated with operating internationally, there could be a material adverse effect on our operating results.
Currently, total foreign country customers and operations account for less than 10% of the Company’s revenues. In recent years some of our customers have expanded their international operations faster than domestic operations, and this trend may continue. Over time, the amount of our international business may increase if we focus on international market opportunities. Operating in foreign countries subjects the Company to additional risks, any of which may adversely impact our future operating results, including:
•
international political, economic and legal conditions including political unrest and conflict, sanctions, tariffs and trade barriers;
•
our ability to comply with customs, anti-corruption, import/export and other trade compliance regulations, under U.S. and applicable foreign laws, together with any unexpected changes in such regulations;
•
greater difficulty in our ability to recover rental equipment and obtain payment of the related trade receivables;
•
additional costs to establish and maintain international subsidiaries and related operations;
•
difficulties in attracting and retaining staff and business partners to operate internationally;
•
language and cultural barriers;
•
seasonal reductions in business activities in the countries where our international customers are located;
•
difficulty with the integration of foreign operations;
•
longer payment cycles;
•
currency fluctuations; and
•
potential adverse tax consequences.
Unfavorable currency exchange rates may negatively impact our financial results in U.S. dollar terms.
We receive revenues in Canadian dollars from our business activities in Canada. Conducting business in currencies other than U.S. dollars subjects us to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. If the currency exchange rates change unfavorably, the value of net receivables we receive in foreign currencies and later convert to U.S. dollars after the unfavorable change would be diminished. This could have a negative impact on our reported operating results. We currently do not engage in hedging strategies to mitigate this risk.
GENERAL RISKS:
Our effective tax rate may change and become less predictable as our business expands, or as a result of federal and state tax law changes, making our future earnings less predictable.
We continue to consider expansion opportunities domestically and internationally for our rental businesses. Since the Company’s effective tax rate depends on business levels, personnel and assets located in various jurisdictions, further expansion into new markets or acquisitions may change the effective tax rate in the future and may make it, and consequently our earnings, less predictable going forward. Further, the enactment of future tax law changes by federal and state taxing authorities may impact the Company’s current period tax provision and its deferred tax liabilities. In addition, the amount and timing of stock-based compensation may also impact the Company’s current tax provision.
-24-
Changes in financial accounting standards may cause lower than expected operating results and affect our reported results of operations.
Changes in accounting standards and their application may have a significant effect on our reported results on a going-forward basis and may also affect the recording and disclosure of previously reported transactions. New accounting pronouncements and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements have occurred in the past and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct our business.
Adverse economic conditions in the United States and globally, as well as geopolitical tensions, could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
Adverse macroeconomic conditions in the United States and globally, including inflation, cost increases from tariffs, slower than expected growth or recession, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, tightening of the credit markets, higher interest rates and currency fluctuations, could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. These factors could negatively affect demand for our business.
Adverse economic conditions in the United States and globally have from time to time caused or exacerbated significant slowdowns in our industry and in the markets in which we operate, which have adversely affected our business and results of operations. Macroeconomic weakness and uncertainty also make it more difficult for us to accurately forecast revenue, gross margin and expenses, and may make it more difficult to refinance debt.
Furthermore, sustained uncertainty about, or worsening of, geopolitical tensions could result in a global economic slowdown and long-term changes to global trade. Any or all of these factors could negatively affect our industry, our customers and/or suppliers and, as a result, could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, revenue, financial condition and growth.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth in this section as well as those discussed under Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this document. This discussion should be read together with the financial statements and the related notes thereto set forth in “Item 8. 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.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2025 Compared to
Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2024
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.
-33-
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%.
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 2025 decreased $5.2 million, or 8%, to $58.7 million. For the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024:
•
Gross Profit on Rental Revenues – Rental revenues decreased $2.4 million, or 3%, due to 3% lower average rental equipment on rent and 1% lower average monthly rental rates in 2025. As a percentage of rental revenues, depreciation was 6% in both 2025 and 2024, and other direct costs were 11% and 8% in 2025 and 2024, respectively, which resulted in gross margin percentage of 83% in 2025, compared to 86% in 2024. The lower rental revenues and lower rental margins resulted in gross profit on rental revenues decreasing $4.1 million, or 7%, to $56.0 million in 2025.
•
Gross Profit on Rental Related Services – Rental related services revenues decreased $1.2 million, or 7%, compared to 2024. The decrease in rental related services revenues was primarily attributable to a reduction in return delivery revenues. The lower revenues coupled with a negative gross margin percentage of 8% in 2025, compared to a gross margin percentage of 2% in 2024, resulted in rental related services gross profit decreasing $1.7 million to a loss of $1.3 million, in 2025.
•
Gross Profit on Sales – Sales revenues increased $2.1 million, or 37%, primarily due to higher used equipment sales. The higher sales revenues and comparable gross margin of 38% in 2025, resulted in sales gross profit increasing $0.8 million, or 37%, to $2.9 million in 2025. 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 2025, Portable Storage’s selling and administrative expenses increased $1.4 million, or 5%, to $30.6 million, compared to $29.2 million in 2024. The increase in selling and administrative expenses was primarily the result of $0.7 million higher marketing and administrative expenses and an increase in employees' salaries and benefit costs of $0.4 million.
-35-
TRS-RenTelco
For 2025, TRS-RenTelco’s total revenues increased $13.6 million, or 10%, to $148.9 million, compared to 2024, primarily due to higher rental operations and sales revenues. Higher gross profit on rental and sales revenues, coupled with $2.8 million lower allocated interest expense, partly offset by $2.6 million higher selling and administrative expenses, resulted in an increase in pre-tax income of $11.0 million, or 47%, to $34.2 million for 2025. Included within pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 2024, was Other income, net of $1.7 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 $12.7 million, or 59%.

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.

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.
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.

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 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.
-46-
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 Company believes that its needs for working capital and capital expenditures through 2026 and beyond will be adequately met by operating cash flow, proceeds from the sale of rental equipment, and bank borrowings.
Please see the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on page 63 for a more detailed presentation of the sources and uses of the Company's cash.
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.
-51-
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.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Company is exposed to cash flow and fair value risk due to changes in interest rates with respect to its 2.35%, 2.57%, 6.25% and 5.30% senior notes due in 2026, 2028, 2030 and 2032, respectively, and its revolving lines of credit. Weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at December 31, 2025. The estimate of fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt is based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities. The table below presents principal cash flows by expected annual maturities, related weighted average interest rates and estimated fair value for the Company’s Series E, Series D, Series F and Series G Senior Notes and the Company’s revolving lines of credit under the Credit Facility and Sweep Service Facility as of December 31, 2025.

The Company formed a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, TRS-RenTelco Inc., in 2004 in conjunction with the TRS acquisition. The Canadian operations of the Company subject it to foreign currency risks (i.e. the possibility that the financial results could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates). Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its economic exposure with respect to assets, liabilities and firm commitments denominated in foreign currencies. In 2025, the Company experienced minimal impact on net income due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Although there can be no assurances, given the size of the Canadian operations, the Company does not expect future foreign exchange gains and losses to be significant.
The Company has no derivative financial instruments that expose the Company to significant market risk.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Shareholders
McGrath RentCorp
Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of McGrath RentCorp (a California corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated February 25, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion.
Basis for opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical audit matters
The critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

MCGRATH RENTCORP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
McGrath RentCorp and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a California corporation organized in 1979. The Company is a diversified business to business rental company with three rental divisions; relocatable modular buildings, portable storage containers and electronic test equipment. Although the Company’s primary emphasis is on equipment rentals, sales of equipment occur in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2025, the Company was comprised of four reportable business segments: modular building segment ("Mobile Modular"), portable storage container segment (“Portable Storage”), electronic test equipment segment (“TRS-RenTelco”) and classroom manufacturing division selling modular classrooms in California (“Enviroplex”).
Mutual decision to terminate Merger Agreement with WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp.
As previously disclosed, on January 28, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), with WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation ("WillScot Mobile Mini”), Brunello Merger Sub I, Inc., a California corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of WillScot Mobile Mini, and Brunello Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct wholly owned subsidiary of WillScot Mobile Mini. On September 17, 2024, the Company and WillScot Mobile Mini mutually agreed to terminate the Merger Agreement, effective upon WillScot Mobile Mini's cash payment of $180.0 million to the Company, which was received on September 20, 2024.
Transaction costs attributed to the Merger Agreement are reported in the Company's Corporate segment. Expenses recognized as a result of the terminated merger during year ended December 31, 2024, were $63.2 million. The termination payment received of $180.0 million, net of transaction costs, resulted in net proceeds received of $116.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company determined that the transaction costs incurred on the terminated merger were significant and required separate presentation on the Company's consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2024. Due to this determination, the Company has excluded such transaction costs from Selling and administrative expenses and reported them separately on the consolidated statements of income as non-operating expenses.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of McGrath RentCorp and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
Lease revenues - 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 revenues - 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 service performed. 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. The majority of revenue for these contracts is derived from long-term projects which typically span multiple quarters. The Company uses third parties to provide certain services as part of its contracts with customers. The Company is considered the principal (vs. an agent) as the Company is responsible for the fulfillment of all service elements and burdens the risks associated with the underlying performance obligations. Revenue for these services is recognized on a gross basis.
Other revenue is recognized when earned and primarily includes interest income on sales-type leases, rental income on facility leases and certain logistics services.
Sales taxes charged to customers are reported on a net basis and are excluded from revenues and expenses.
-63-
Depreciation of Rental Equipment
Rental equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis for financial reporting purposes and on an accelerated basis for income tax purposes. The costs of major refurbishment of relocatable modular buildings and portable storage containers are capitalized to the extent the refurbishment significantly adds value to, or extends the life of the equipment. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
The estimated useful lives and residual values of the Company’s rental equipment used for financial reporting purposes are as follows:
Relocatable modular buildings
18 years, 50% residual value
Relocatable modular accessories
3 to 18 years, no residual value
Blast resistant and kitchen modules
20 years, no residual value
Portable storage containers
25 years, 62.5% residual value
Electronic test equipment and accessories
1 to 8 years, no residual value
Costs of Rental Related Services
Costs of rental related services are primarily associated with relocatable modular building and portable storage container leases. Modular building leases primarily consist of costs for services to be provided under the negotiated lease agreement for delivery, installation, modifications, skirting, and dismantle and return delivery. Costs related to these services are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Site related services costs for work outside of the modular building such as grading, drainage, landscaping and paving are recognized in the period the service is performed. Costs of rental related services associated with portable storage containers consists of costs of delivery, removal and cleaning of the containers. These costs are recognized in the period the service is performed.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value of rental equipment and identifiable definite lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances have occurred that would indicate the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. A key element in determining the recoverability of long-lived assets is the Company’s outlook as to the future market conditions for its rental equipment. If the carrying amount is not fully recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to fair value. The Company determines fair value based upon the condition of the rental equipment and the projected net cash flows from its rental and sale considering current market conditions. Goodwill and identifiable indefinite lived assets are evaluated for potential impairment annually or when circumstances indicate potential impairment may have occurred. Impairment losses, if any, are determined based upon the excess of carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. There were no impairments of long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Other Direct Costs of Rental Operations
Other direct costs of rental operations include direct labor, supplies, repairs, insurance, property taxes, license fees, impairment of rental equipment and certain modular lease costs charged to customers in the negotiated rental rate, which are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income includes the carrying value of the equipment sold and all direct costs associated with the sale.
Warranty Reserves
Sales of new relocatable modular buildings, portable storage containers, electronic test equipment and related accessories not manufactured by the Company are typically covered by warranties provided by the manufacturer of the products sold. The Company typically provides limited 90-day warranties for certain sales of used rental equipment and one-year warranties on equipment manufactured by Enviroplex. Although the Company’s policy is to provide reserves for warranties when required for specific circumstances, the Company has not found it necessary to establish such reserves to date as warranty costs have not been significant.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials and work-in-process. Inventories are measured at the lower of actual cost or net realizable value for acquired units and estimated standard costs for manufactured units. Costs for units manufactured are determined using the
-64-
weighted average inventory method. Net realizable value is defined as the value for which an asset can be sold, less the estimated costs of selling such asset. The costs include expenditures incurred in acquiring the inventories, manufacturing, production costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis for financial reporting purposes, and on an accelerated basis for income tax purposes. Depreciation expense for property, plant and equipment is included in “selling and administrative expenses” and “rental related services” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following:

Property, plant and equipment depreciation expense was $9.6 million, $8.9 million and $9.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Construction in progress at December 31, 2025 and 2024 consisted primarily of costs related to building and land improvements.
Capitalized Software Costs
The Company capitalizes certain development costs incurred in connection with its internal use software. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, direct internal and external costs are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. These costs generally include external direct costs of materials and services consumed in the project and internal costs, such as payroll and benefits of those employees directly associated with the development of the software. Maintenance, training and post implementation costs are expensed as incurred. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized software costs are included in property, plant and equipment and construction in progress. There was $0.9 million in costs capitalized to construction in progress during the year ended December 31, 2025. Conversely, there were no internal use software costs capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Company evaluates implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract under the internal-use software framework. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation activities are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in the development stage are generally capitalized as prepaid expenses and other assets. There was $11.4 million in cloud computing arrangements capitalized to prepaid expenses and other assets for the year ended December 31, 2025. Amortization expense is calculated on a straight-line basis over the contractual term including extension options of the cloud computing arrangement and recorded as selling, general and administrative expense.
Shipping Costs
The Company includes third party costs to deliver rental equipment to customers in costs of rental related services and costs of sales.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expenses were $6.7 million, $6.2 million and $5.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the effect of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are adjusted to the extent necessary to reflect tax rates expected to be in effect when temporary differences reverse. Adjustments may be required to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities due to changes in tax laws and audit adjustments by tax authorities. A valuation allowance would be established if, based on the weight of available evidence, management believes that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a recorded deferred tax asset would not be realized in future periods. To the extent adjustments are required in any given period, the adjustments would be included within the “Provision for income taxes” in the consolidated statements of income.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Purchase prices of acquired businesses are allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on the estimated fair values on the respective acquisition dates. Based on these values, the excess purchase prices over the fair value of the net assets acquired are allocated to goodwill. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, goodwill and trade name intangible assets from continuing operations which have indefinite lives totaled $332.6 million and $323.4 million, respectively.
The Company assesses potential impairment of its goodwill and intangible assets when there is evidence that events or circumstances have occurred that would indicate the recovery of an asset’s carrying value is unlikely. The Company also assesses potential impairment of its goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives on an annual basis regardless of whether there is evidence of impairment. If indicators of impairment were to be present in intangible assets used in operations and future discounted cash flows were not expected to be sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount, an impairment loss would be charged to expense in the period identified. The amount of an impairment loss would be recognized as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. Factors the Company considers important, which may cause impairment include, among others, significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired asset, negative industry or economic trends, and significant underperformance relative to historical or projected operating results.
The impairment review of the Company’s goodwill is performed by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The fair value of the reporting unit is compared to its carrying value to determine if the goodwill is impaired. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, then goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit were to exceed its fair value, then a goodwill impairment loss is recorded for the amount the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value.
The Company conducted its annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2025. The impairment analysis did not result in an impairment charge for the fiscal year ended 2025, consistent with the previously reported years of 2024 and 2023. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is judgmental and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The Company based its fair value estimates on assumptions that it believes are reasonable but are uncertain and subject to changes in market conditions.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities including the dilutive effects of stock options, unvested restricted stock awards and other potentially dilutive securities. The table below presents the weighted-average common stock used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share:

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 42,958 and 37,214 shares which had an anti-dilutive effect on the computation of diluted earnings per share that required exclusion, respectively. In 2023, there were no shares having an anti-dilutive effect requiring exclusion from the computation of diluted earnings per share.
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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. In the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 there were no shares of common stock repurchased. As of December 31, 2025, 2,000,000 shares remain authorized for repurchase.
Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company’s accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers for rentals, sales, financed sales and unbilled amounts for the portion of modular building end-of-lease services earned, which were negotiated as part of the lease agreement. Unbilled receivables related to end-of-lease services, which consists of dismantle and return delivery of buildings, were $73.2 million at December 31, 2025 and $69.6 million at December 31, 2024. The Company sells primarily on 30-day terms, individually performs credit evaluation procedures on its customers on each transaction and will require security deposits from its customers when a significant credit risk is identified. The Company records an allowance for credit losses in amounts equal to the estimated losses expected to be incurred in the collection of the accounts receivable. The estimated losses are based on historical collection experience in conjunction with an evaluation of the current status of the existing accounts. Customer accounts are written off against the allowance for credit losses when an account is determined to be uncollectable. The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts receivable from operating lease and non-lease revenues. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as historical payment experience and trends, the age of the accounts receivable balances, the Company’s operating segment, customer industry, credit quality and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. The Company recognized credit losses of $1.7 million, $1.9 million and $2.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The allowance for credit losses was $2.9 million at December 31, 2025, unchanged from the allowance reported in 2024, and $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. From time to time, the Company maintains cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.
Net Investment in Sales-Type Leases
The Company enters into sales-type leases with certain qualified customers to purchase its rental equipment, primarily at its Mobile Modular and TRS-RenTelco operating segments. Sales-type leases have terms that generally range from 12 to 36 months and are collateralized by a security interest in the underlying rental asset. The net investment in sales-type leases was $6.4 million at December 31, 2025, and $6.7 million at December 31, 2024. The Company’s assessment of current expected losses on these receivables was not material and no credit loss expense was provided as of December 31, 2025. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as historical payment experience, the age of the lease receivable balances, credit quality and current economic conditions that may affect a customer's ability to pay. Lease receivables are considered past due 90 days after invoice. The Company manages the credit risk in net investment in sales-type leases, on an ongoing basis, using a number of factors, including, but not limited to the following: historical payment history, credit score, size of operations, length of time in business, industry, historical profitability, historical cash flows, liquidity and past due amounts. The Company uses credit scores obtained from external credit bureaus as a key indicator for the purposes of determining credit quality of its new customers. The Company does not own available for sale debt securities or other financial assets at December 31, 2025.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company believes that the carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their fair values except for fixed rate debt included in notes payable which had an estimated fair value of $251.3 million and $169.4 million, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, compared to the recorded book values of $250.0 million and $175.0 million, respectively. The estimates of fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt are based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
The Company's Canadian subsidiary, TRS-RenTelco Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“TRS-Canada”), functions as a branch sales office for TRS-RenTelco in Canada. The functional currency for TRS-Canada is the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses of TRS-Canada are reported in the results of operations in the period in which they occur.
Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge its economic exposure with respect to assets, liabilities and firm commitments as the foreign currency transactions and risks to date have not been significant.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company measures and recognizes the compensation expense for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), based upon estimated fair values. The fair value of stock options and SARs is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and for RSUs based upon the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock as of the date of grant. The Company recognizes share-based compensation cost ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which generally equals the vesting period. For performance-based RSUs, compensation costs are recognized when it is probable that vesting conditions will be met. In addition, the Company estimates the probable number of shares of common stock that will be earned and the corresponding compensation cost until the achievement of the performance goal is known. The Company recognizes forfeitures based on actual forfeitures when they occur. The Company records share-based compensation costs in “Selling and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of income. The Company recognizes a benefit from share-based compensation in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity if an incremental tax benefit is realized. Further information regarding share-based compensation can be found in Note 10.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each period presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates included in the financial statements are the future cash flows and fair values used to determine the recoverability of the rental equipment and identifiable definite and indefinite lived intangible assets carrying value, the various assets’ useful lives and residual values, and the allowance for credit losses. In addition, determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in a business or asset acquisition can be judgmental in nature and can involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2025‑12, Codification Improvements, as part of its ongoing initiative to make incremental improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments address a broad range of Topics and include technical corrections, clarifications, and other minor improvements intended to enhance the usability and consistency of U.S. GAAP. The amendments are not expected to significantly affect current accounting practice or result in significant implementation costs for most entities. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025‑11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow‑Scope Improvements, which clarifies and reorganizes the guidance in Topic 270 to improve navigability and consistency in interim reporting. The amendments clarify which entities are subject to Topic 270, specify the form and content of interim financial statements and accompanying notes, and provide a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures. The ASU also introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events and changes since the end of the most recent annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments are not intended to change the fundamental nature of interim reporting or significantly expand or reduce existing interim disclosure requirements, but rather to clarify existing guidance. For public business entities, the amendments are effective for interim reporting periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU
-68-
on its interim financial statement disclosures. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This ASU modernizes and clarifies the accounting for internal-use-software development costs to better reflect current software development practices, including agile and iterative methodologies. The amendments remove the existing development-stage model and establish a new principles-based capitalization framework. Under the updated guidance, software development costs are capitalized only when both of the following conditions are met: management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose (the "probable-to-complete" threshold). This ASU also supersedes Subtopic 350-50 and consolidates all website development guidance into Subtopic 350-40. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the financial statement impact of this ASU.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires incremental disclosures about specific expense categories, including but not limited to, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, selling expenses and purchases of inventory. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the financial statement impact of this ASU.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023‑06, Disclosure Improvements, which incorporates certain disclosure and presentation requirements previously included in SEC Regulations S‑X and S‑K into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments are intended to clarify or improve disclosure requirements and enhance consistency between U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements. The amendments affect a variety of Topics and primarily relate to disclosures, including, but not limited to, cash flow statement presentation, commitments, debt, equity, and other financial statement disclosures. The amendments do not change recognition or measurement guidance. The effective date of each amendment is contingent upon the removal of the related disclosure requirement from the applicable SEC regulations. Early adoption is permitted once the amendments become effective. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3. IMPLEMENTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective December 15, 2025, the Company adopted ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires Companies to disclose annually the specific categories in income tax rate reconciliations, provide additional information for reconciling items which meet a quantitative threshold, and disaggregate domestic and foreign income or loss from continuing operations. Additionally, this ASU requires the disclosure of income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state and foreign if certain thresholds are met. The adoption of this new guidance resulted in expanded income tax footnote disclosures found in "Note 9. Income Taxes" to the Consolidated Financial Statements and did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of a regional provider of temporary and permanent modular space solutions for $11.8 million and a regional provider of container solutions for $12.0 million. The final purchase price allocation of the modular solutions provider was $6.3 million to the fair value of rental equipment acquired, intangible assets of $1.1 million and $4.3 million to goodwill. The final purchase price allocation to the container solutions provider was $4.5 million to the fair value of rental equipment acquired, $1.0 million to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets of $1.7 million and $5.1 million to goodwill. These acquisitions were accounted for as a purchase of a “business” in accordance with criteria in ASC 805, Business Combinations, using the purchase method of accounting. Incremental transaction costs totaled $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.
NOTE 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On February 1, 2023, the Company completed the sale of Adler Tank Rentals, LLC to Ironclad Environmental Solutions, Inc. ("Ironclad"), a portfolio company of Kinderhook Industries, for a sale price of $268.0 million. The total transaction costs incurred from the divestiture was $6.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. The divestiture of the Company's Adler Tanks business represents the Company's strategic shift to concentrate its operations on its core modular and storage businesses. The sale price was subject to certain adjustments, including net working capital, certain qualified capital expenditures and certain transaction expenses to
-69-
be borne by the Company. In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a number of ancillary agreements, including an escrow agreement associated with net working capital adjustments, a restricted covenant agreement, a transition services agreement, and a number of leases whereby Ironclad or one of its affiliates would be a lessee to certain properties owned by the Company that the Adler Tanks business would continue to utilize after the sale. These ancillary agreements do not provide for continued involvement by the Company in Adler Tanks. In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations and ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company determined that the criteria for the presentation of discontinued operations and held-for-sale, respectively, were met during the first quarter of 2023.

NOTE 6. LEASES
Lessee
The Company leases real estate for certain of its branch offices and rental equipment storage yards, vehicles and equipment used in its rental operations. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has leases with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately. Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized on the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred, which are not material. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The Company uses the interest rate stated in the lease as the discount rate. If the interest rate is not stated, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available on lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Many of the Company’s real estate lease agreements include options to extend the lease, which are not included in the minimum lease terms unless they are reasonably certain to be exercised. These leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that may extend the lease term from one to three years. The amount of payments associated with such options is not material. Short-term leases are leases having a term of twelve months or less and exclude leases with a lease term of one month or less. The Company recognizes short-term leases on a straight-line basis and does not record a related ROU asset or liability for such leases. At December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company’s ROU assets and operating lease liabilities were $12.9 million and $12.6 million, respectively, which are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other assets and Accrued liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, operating lease expense was $6.6 million and $6.4 million, respectively, which included short term lease expense of $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the weighted-average remaining lease term for operating leases was 3.4 years and the weighted average discount rate was 5.43% and 5.37%, respectively. The Company had no sub-lease income or finance leases during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Lessor
The Company’s equipment rentals for each of its operating segments are governed by agreements that detail the lease terms and conditions. The determination of whether these contracts with customers contain a lease generally does not require significant judgement. The Company accounts for these rentals as operating leases. These leases do not include material amounts of variable payments and the Company has made the accounting policy election to exclude all taxes assessed by a governmental authority. The Company generally does not provide an option for the lessee to purchase the rented equipment at the end of the lease term, thus, does not generate material revenue from sales of equipment under such options. Initial lease terms vary in length based upon customer needs and generally range from one to sixty months. Customers have the option to keep equipment on rent beyond the initial lease term on a
-71-
month-to month basis based upon their needs. All of the Company’s rental products have long useful lives relative to the typical rental term with the original investment typically recovered in approximately three to five years. The rental products are typically rented for a majority of the time owned and a significant portion of the original investment is recovered when sold from inventory. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
As of December 31, 2025, maturities of operating lease payments to be received in 2026 and thereafter were as follows:

In the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s lease revenues from continuing operations were $618.1 million, consisting of $613.6 million of operating lease revenues and $4.5 million of finance lease revenues. The Company has entered into finance leases to finance certain equipment sales to customers. The lease agreements have a bargain purchase option at the end of the lease term. 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. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company’s finance lease revenues included $3.6 million of sales revenues and $0.9 million of interest income. The minimum lease payments receivable and the net investment are included in Accounts receivable on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet for such leases, which were as follows:

NOTE 7. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company’s accounting for revenues is governed by two accounting standards. The majority of the Company’s revenues are considered lease or lease related and are accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. Revenues determined to be non-lease related are accounted for in accordance with Topic 606. The Company accounts for revenues when approval and commitment from both parties have been obtained, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. 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. 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.
-72-
Revenue from contracts that satisfy the criteria for over time recognition are recognized as work is performed by using the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total contract costs for each contract. The majority of revenue for these contracts is derived from long-term projects which typically span multiple quarters. The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in billed contract receivables and contract assets on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the Company’s contracts, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of contractual milestones. Billings can occur subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets, or in advance, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract assets and liabilities are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The contract liabilities included in Deferred income on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $34.3 million and $42.1 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company determined that return delivery revenues for Portable Storage and rent adjustments for TRS-RenTelco met the criteria for contract liability classification, as such the previously reported Deferred income for the year ended December 31, 2024, of $35.4 million has been adjusted accordingly. Revenues totaling $40.6 million were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025, which were included in the contract liability balance at December 31, 2024. For certain modular building sales, the customer retains a small portion of the contract price until full completion of the contract, or revenue is recognizable prior to customer billing, which results in revenue earned in excess of billings. These unbilled contract assets are included in Accounts receivable on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $10.9 million and $13.0 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company did not recognize any material contract asset impairments during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company has uncompleted contracts with customers that have unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations. These contracts are recognized over time and at a point in time. The Company has elected the practical expedient within Topic 606 and does not disclose information related to remaining performance obligations for contracts recognized with an original expected duration of one year or less. For the year ended December 31, 2025, $257.9 million of revenue was recognized for sales and non-lease services transferred at a point in time and $68.3 million of revenue was recognized for sales and non-lease services transferred over time.
The Company generally rents and sells to customers on 30 day payment terms. The Company does not typically offer variable payment terms, or accept non-monetary consideration. Amounts billed and due from the Company’s customers are classified as Accounts receivable on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. For certain sales of modular buildings, progress payments from the customer are received during the manufacturing of new equipment, or the preparation of used equipment. The advance payments are not considered a significant financing component because the payments are used to meet working capital needs during the contract and to protect the Company from the customer failing to adequately complete their obligations under the contract.
Lease Revenues
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. 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 Revenues
Non-lease revenues are recognized in the period when control of the performance obligation is transferred, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For portable storage container and electronic test equipment leases, rental related services revenues for delivery and return delivery are considered non-lease revenues. For site related services revenues outside of the modular building such as grading, drainage, landscaping and paving are considered non-lease.
Sales revenues are typically recognized at a point in time, which occurs upon the completion of delivery, installation and acceptance of the equipment by the customer. Sales contracts that satisfy the criteria for over-time recognition are recognized as work is performed by using the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total contracts costs for each contract. Accounting for non-lease revenues requires judgment in determining the point in time the customer gains control of the equipment and the appropriate accounting period to recognize revenue.
Sales taxes charged to customers are reported on a net basis and are excluded from revenues and expenses.

Customer returns of rental equipment prior to the end of the rental contract term are typically billed a cancellation fee, which is recorded as rental revenue in the period billed. Sales of new relocatable modular buildings, portable storage containers and electronic test equipment and related accessories not manufactured by the Company are typically covered by warranties provided by the manufacturer of the products sold. The Company typically provides limited 90-day warranties for certain sales of used rental equipment and one-year warranties on equipment manufactured by Enviroplex. Although the Company’s policy is to provide reserves for warranties when required for specific circumstances, the Company has not found it necessary to establish such reserves to date as warranty costs have not been significant.
The Company’s incremental cost of obtaining lease contracts, which consists of salesperson commissions, are deferred and amortized over the initial lease term for modular building leases. Incremental costs for obtaining a contract for all other operating segments are expensed in the period incurred because the lease term is typically less than 12 months.
Other Income, net
Other income, net consists of the net gain on sales of property, plant and equipment. These sales are generally recognized at a point in time, with contractually defined performance obligations that are typically transferred upon the closing date of the sale. These types of sales are infrequent in occurrence and reported on the consolidated statements of income within the scope of ASC 610, Other Income. Proceeds to be received from the sale of property, plant and equipment are included in Accounts receivable on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

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 under the heading "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement" in the 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
-75-
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.
Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility bear interest at the Company’s option at either: (i) Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a defined margin, or (ii) the Agent bank’s prime rate (“base rate”) plus a margin. The applicable margin for each type of loan is measured based upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio at the end of the prior fiscal quarter and ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% for SOFR loans and 0% to 0.75% for base rate loans. In addition, the Company pays an unused commitment fee for the portion of the $650.0 million credit facility that is not used. These fees are based upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and range from 0.15% to 0.30%. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the applicable margins were 1.25% for SOFR based loans, 0.25% for base rate loans and 0.20% for unused fees. Amounts borrowed under the Sweep Service Facility are based upon the MUFG Union Bank, N.A. base rate plus an applicable margin and an unused commitment fee for the portion of the $20.0 million facility not used.The applicable base rate margin and unused commitment fee rates for the Sweep Service Facility are the same as for the Amended Credit Facility.

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.

The Company will sell the Shelf Notes directly
-76-
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.

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 D Senior Notes was $40.0 million.
2.35% Senior Notes Due in 2026

The Company's tax loss carryforwards for the year ended December 31, 2025, were $2.4 million for state jurisdictions which are expected to result in a future state tax benefit of $0.1 million. The availability of these tax losses to offset future income varies by jurisdiction. Furthermore, the ability to utilize the tax losses may be subject to additional limitations. The Company’s state net operating loss carryforwards have differing carryforward periods. The Company anticipates that the available net operating losses as of December 31, 2025, will be utilized prior to their respective expiration dates.
For income tax purposes, deductible compensation related to share-based awards is based on the value of the award when realized, which may be different than the compensation expense recognized by the company for financial statement purposes which is based on the award value on the date of grant. The difference between the value of the award upon grant, and the value of the award when ultimately realized, creates either additional tax expense or benefit. In 2025, 2024 and 2023 exercise of share-based awards by employees resulted in an excess tax benefit of $0.8 million, $0.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively.
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company evaluated all of its tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open and determined there were no material unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. In addition, there have been no material changes in unrecognized benefits during 2025, 2024 and 2023.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require the application of significant judgment.
Our income tax returns are subject to examination by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. There may be differing interpretations of tax laws and regulations, and as a result, disputes may arise with these tax authorities involving the timing and amount of deductions and allocation of income. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2021.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision (benefit) for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. Such interest and penalties were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

NOTE 10. BENEFIT PLANS
Stock Plans
The Company adopted the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”), effective June 8, 2016, under which 2,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, plus the number of shares that remained available for grants of awards under the Company's 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “2007 Plan”) become available as a result of forfeiture, termination, or expiration of awards previously granted under the 2007 Plan, were reserved for the grant of equity awards to its employees, directors and consultants. The equity awards have a maximum term of 7 years at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date the equity award is granted. The 2016 Plan replaced the 2007 Plan.
The 2016 Plan provides for the grant of awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), the vesting of which may be performance-based or service-based, and other rights and benefits. Each RSU issued reduces the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for grant under the 2016 Plan by two shares. There were no significant modifications to the 2016 Plan or awards classified as liabilities in the year ended December 31, 2025.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the share-based compensation expense was $11.2 million, $9.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively, before provision for income taxes. The Company recorded a tax benefit of approximately $3.0 million, $2.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively, related to the aforementioned share-based compensation expenses. There was no capitalized share-based compensation expense in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Performance-based RSUs issued prior to 2018 vest over five years, with 60% of the shares immediately vesting after three years when the performance criteria has been determined to have been met and 20% of the remaining shares vesting annually at the anniversary of the performance determination date, subject to continuous employment of the participant. The performance-based RSU grants issued in 2018 and thereafter vest after three years with 100% of the shares vesting immediately when performance criteria has been determined to have been met. There were 80,600 performance-based RSUs expected to vest as of December 31, 2025. Service based RSUs issued to the Company’s directors generally vest over twelve to fourteen months. Service based RSUs issued to the Company’s management vest over three years. There were 123,679 service-based RSUs expected to vest as of December 31, 2025. No forfeitures are currently expected. The total fair value of RSUs that vested during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 based on the weighted average grant date values was $13.2 million, $11.1 million and $8.6 million, respectively.
Share-based compensation expense for RSUs for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $11.2 million, $9.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was $13.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

Stock Options
As of December 31, 2025, no shares were outstanding under the 2016 Plan, and no options had been issued to the Company's non-employee advisors. Additionally, 670,546 shares remained available for issuance under the stock plans.
As of December 31, 2024, all stock options granted in previous years were either exercised, cancelled, forfeited or expired. A summary of the Company’s option activity and related information for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

The intrinsic value of stock options at any point in time is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised and sold under the Company’s stock option plans was less than $0.1 million and $9.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, determined as of the date of option exercise. As of December 31, 2025, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation option arrangements granted under the Company’s stock plans.
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based compensation at the date of grant, which requires the use of accounting judgment and financial estimates, including estimates of the expected term option holders will retain their vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected term and the expected number of options that will be forfeited prior to the completion of their vesting requirements. Application of alternative assumptions could produce significantly different estimates of the fair value of share-based compensation amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
No options were granted in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Employee Stock Ownership and 401(k) Plans
The McGrath RentCorp Employee Stock Ownership and 401(k) Plan (the “KSOP”) provides that each participant may annually contribute an elected percentage of his or her salary, not to exceed the statutory limit. Each employee who has at least two months of service with the Company and is 21 years or older, is eligible to participate in the KSOP. The Company, at its discretion, may make matching contributions. Contributions are expensed in the year approved by the Board of Directors. Dividends on the Company’s stock held by the KSOP are treated as ordinary dividends and, in accordance with existing tax laws, are deducted by the Company in the year paid. For the year ended December 31, 2025 dividends deducted by the Company were $0.5 million, which resulted in a tax benefit of approximately $0.1 million in 2025.
At December 31, 2025, the KSOP held 231,507 shares, or 1% of the Company’s total common shares outstanding. These shares are included in basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.
NOTE 11. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
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
-81-
"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 and 2024. As of December 31, 2025, 2,000,000 shares remain authorized for repurchase under the Repurchase Plan.
NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company leases certain facilities under various operating leases. Most of the lease agreements provide the Company with the option of renewing its lease at the end of the lease term, at the fair rental value. In most cases, management expects that in the normal course of business, facility leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases. Minimum payments under these leases, exclusive of property taxes and insurance, was as follows:

Facility rent expense was $9.3 million in 2025, $9.0 million in 2024 and $10.8 million in 2023.
The Company is involved in various lawsuits and routine claims arising out of the normal course of its business. The Company maintains insurance coverage for its operations and employees with appropriate aggregate, per occurrence and deductible limits as the Company reasonably determines necessary or prudent with current operations and historical experience. The major policies include coverage for property, general liability, auto, directors and officers, health, and workers’ compensation insurances. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes 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. The Company reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. In the opinion of management, there was not at least a reasonable possibility that the ultimate amount of liability not covered by insurance, if any, under any pending litigation and claims, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or operating results of the Company.
The Company’s health plans are self-funded high deductible plans with annual stop-loss insurance for protection against payments that exceed thresholds on a per claim basis and in the aggregate. The Company records an expense when claim payments are made and accrues for the portion of claims incurred, but not yet paid at period end. The Company makes these accruals based upon a combination of historical claim payments, loss development experience and actuarial estimates. A high degree of judgment is required in developing the underlying assumptions and the resulting amounts to be accrued. In addition, our assumptions will change as the Company’s loss experience develops. All of these factors have the potential to impact the amounts previously accrued and the Company may be required to increase or decrease the amounts previously accrued. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, accruals for the Company’s self-funded high deductible health plans were $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Amortization expense in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $10.5 million, $10.3 million and $10.7 million, respectively. Based on the carrying values at December 31, 2025 and assuming no subsequent impairment of the underlying assets, the annual amortization is expected to be $10.2 million in 2026, $10.0 million in 2027, $8.6 million in 2028, $5.1million in 2029, $3.3 million in 2030 and $9.2 million for the years thereafter.
NOTE 15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
There were no significant related party transactions in the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, or amounts owed to related parties at such dates.
NOTE 16. SEGMENT REPORTING
FASB guidelines establish annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise’s operating segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. In accordance with these guidelines, the Company’s four reportable segments are Mobile Modular, Portable Storage, TRS-RenTelco and Enviroplex. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") Joe Hanna, Chief Executive Officer, and senior management focus on several key measures to evaluate and assess each segment’s performance, including rental, rental related services and sales revenue growth, gross profit, income from operations and income before provision for income taxes. In addition to the evaluation of the aforementioned key measures of each reportable segment, the CODM and senior management evaluate supplemental information by reportable segment, such as rental equipment acquisitions, fleet utilization, and average utilization, to further assess segment performance and the future allocation of Company resources.
-83-
The CODM is the primary individual in control of resource allocation, and the allocation determinations are made in consultation with the Company’s senior management team, of which the CODM is a member. The most significant allocation determinations made by the CODM pertain to purchases of rental equipment and employee headcount. These determinations are generally made as part of the annual budgeting process, with regular reviews occurring throughout the year that can result in allocation changes depending upon performance against budget. On a monthly basis, the CODM considers period end and average rental equipment utilization and budget-to-actual variances to gross profit, income from operations, income before provision for income taxes and net income when making decisions about allocating capital and employee resources to the segments. Excluding interest expense, allocations of revenue and expense not directly associated with one of these segments are generally allocated to Mobile Modular, Portable Storage and TRS-RenTelco, based on their pro-rata share of direct revenues. Interest expense is allocated amongst Mobile Modular, Portable Storage and TRS-RenTelco based on their pro-rata share of average rental equipment at cost, goodwill, intangible assets, accounts receivable, deferred income and customer security deposits. The Company does not report total assets by business segment.
Summarized financial information from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, for the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following tables:

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) for the Company. Based on their evaluation the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and the CEO and CFO have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective at the “reasonable assurance” level.
Management’s Assessment of Internal Control. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, is discussed in the Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting included on page 56.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and its report is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
