On September 25, 2026, we redeemed $45.0 million of the 2031 Secured Notes to reduce borrowing costs. The redemption resulted in a $1.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt.• Total revenue increased $34.5 million, or 6.1%, to $601.3 million.

From the filings
Before
• Total revenues increased $23.1 million, or 3.9%, to $612.2 million. The increase in revenue was driven by a $27.4 million increase in delivery and installation revenue related to increased sitework for large complex projects and improved activation activity and a $6.8 million increase in leasing revenue. The increases were partially due to $12.6 million of total revenue, including both leasing and delivery and installation, associated with a significant event project in the three months ended June 30, 2026. The increase in total revenue was partially offset by a $7.0 million decline in new sales and a $4.1 million decline in rental unit sales.Now
• Total revenue increased $34.5 million, or 6.1%, to $601.3 million. The increase in revenue was driven in part by a $22.3 million increase in delivery and installation revenue related to increased modular activations and increased sitework for large complex projects. The increase in total revenues was also due to a $17.5 million increase in leasing revenue, resulting from a decrease in write-offs of aged receivables recorded as a reduction to revenue and an increase in modular space average units on rent. The increase in total revenues was partially offset by a $4.0 million decline in new sales and a $1.3 million decline in rental unit sales.Total average units on rent for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were 189,182 and 195,182…

Total average units on rent for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were 190,105 and 197,799, respectively, representing a decrease of 7,694 units, or 3.9%. Lower demand was driven by reduced non-residential construction project starts due to higher interest rates and increased economic uncertainty, partially offset by increased demand for large complex projects like data centers and a significant event project in the three months ended June 30, 2026.Now
Total average units on rent for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were 189,182 and 195,182, respectively, representing a decrease of 6,000 units, or 3.1%. Demand trends varied by product type and end market. Demand for portable storage containers and smaller modular units declined, primarily due to lower non-residential construction project starts and increased economic uncertainty. This decline was partially offset by strong demand for modular products serving larger, more complex projects, including projects related to power generation, data centers, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, stadiums, and other infrastructure.Loss on Extinguishment of Debt: We recorded a $1.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt for the three…

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA decreased $38.8 million, or 8.1%, to $438.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $477.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was driven by increased cost of leasing of $20.7 million, increased SG&A of $12.5 million, and decreased new and rental unit sales gross profit of $9.7 million. The decrease was partially offset by increased delivery and installation gross profit of $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.Now
Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA decreased $48.6 million, or 6.7%, to $672.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 from $721.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was driven by increased upfront variable costs associated with increased modular unit activation demand to support leasing revenue growth, decreased new and rental unit sales gross profit of $8.8 million, and a net increase in the provision for credit losses recorded to bad debt expense and accounts receivable write-offs recorded as a reduction to revenue of $8.0 million. Cost of leasing increased $26.0 million to support increased modular space unit activation and employee SG&A, excluding stock compensation expense, increased $13.6 million primarily related to variable compensation costs. These decreases were partially offset by increased delivery and installation gross profit of $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2025.Loss on Extinguishment of Debt: We recorded a $1.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine…

Disposal costs $ 5,086 $ 16,336 $ 16,336
Relocation costs 715 1,093 1,093
In December 2025, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") approved a comprehensive network optimization initiative (the "Network Optimization Plan") designed to reduce real estate costs while maintaining market coverage and customer service capabilities. The Network Optimization Plan encompassed exiting approximately 665 acres of real estate representing 108 branch and drop lot locations and approximately 25 % of the Company's leased acreage. To enable these exits, management identified rental fleet units with a net book value of $ 312.1 million to be abandoned, representing approximately 53,000 units (approximately 31,000 portable storage units and 22,000 modular space units). For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded restructuring costs for the Network Optimization Plan of $ 301.9 million, consisting of accelerated depreciation of rental equipment. As of June September 30, 2026, the Company has disposed of approximately 23,000 28,000 portable storage units and 11,000 12,000 modular space units related to the Network Optimization Plan. The Company expects to substantially complete all real estate exits and related rental equipment disposals under the Network Optimization Plan by 2029.
Expenses associated with the Network Optimization Plan include accelerated depreciation, disposal costs, relocation costs, and other related costs. Disposal costs consist of demolition costs, waste removal disposal fees and scrapping removal fees and are recorded within restructuring costs when incurred. Relocation costs consist primarily of costs to relocate units to other branch locations and are recorded within costs of leasing when incurred. The Company does not expect to exit locations until the end of the applicable contractual lease term; therefore, rental expense will continue to be incurred within selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense as the Company consumes its right to use the real estate.
The following table presents charges relating to the Network Optimization Plan recognized in the three and six nine months ended June September 30, 2026 and the total costs incurred to date:

Liability as of June September 30, 2026
As of June September 30, 2026, the Company expects the initiative to result in total future costs of approximately $ 43 41 million, consisting of rental equipment disposal costs of approximately $ 27 26 million and rental equipment relocation costs of approximately $ 16 15 million. The amount and timing of the actual charges may vary due to a variety of factors, including the ability of vendors to accommodate disposal volumes and additional changes in the time needed to exit leased properties. The Company's estimates for the charges discussed above exclude any potential income tax effects.

When customers are billed in advance for services, the Company defers recognition of revenue until the related services are performed, which generally occurs at the end of the contract. The balance sheet classification of deferred revenue is determined based on the contractual lease term. For contracts that continue beyond their initial contractual lease term, revenue continues to be deferred until the services are performed. As of June September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recorded deferred revenue related to service revenue billed in advance of $ 145.8 150.3 million and $ 134.6 million , respectively.

The measure of profit or loss used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to evaluate operating segment performance and allocate resources is Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is used to determine capital allocation between operating segments and certain aspects of management's compensation. Management believes that evaluating operating segment performance excluding such items is meaningful because it provides insight with respect to the intrinsic and ongoing operating results of the Company. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an important metric because it reflects the business performance of the segment, inclusive of indirect costs.

We are a leading business services provider specializing in innovative and flexible turnkey space solutions.

Our diverse product offering includes:

We operate a hybrid in-house and outsourced logistics and service infrastructure that provides delivery, sitework, installation, disassembly, removal and other services to our customers for an additional fee as part of our leasing and sales operations. We also provide other services to our customers, including technical expertise and oversight regarding building design and permitting, site preparation, and project management, including expansion or contraction of installed space based on changes in project requirements. We serve diverse end markets across all sectors of the economy throughout the United States ("US"), Canada, and Mexico. As of June September 30, 2026, our branch network included approximately 240 230 branch locations and additional drop lots to service our over 85,000 customers.
We primarily lease, rather than sell, our space solutions to customers, which results in a diversified and predictable recurring revenue stream. Over 90% of new lease orders are on our standard lease agreement, pre-negotiated master lease, or enterprise account agreements. Rental contracts with customers are generally based on a 28-day or monthly rate and billing cycle. The initial lease periods vary, and our leases are customarily renewable on a month-to-month basis after their initial term and continue until cancelled by the customer or us. As our customers value flexibility, they consistently extend their leases or renew on a month-to-month basis such that the average effective duration of our consolidated lease portfolio, excluding seasonal portable storage units, was approximately 41 40 months as of June September 30, 2026. We believe our lease revenue is predictable due to its recurring nature and the underlying stability and diversification of our lease portfolio. We complement our core leasing business by selling both new and used units, allowing us to leverage scale, achieve purchasing benefits, and redeploy capital employed in our lease fleet.
Our customers operate in diversified end markets, including construction and infrastructure, commercial and industrial, energy and natural resources, and government and institutions. Core to our operating model is the ability to redeploy standardized assets across end markets. We track several leading market indicators to predict demand, including Gross Domestic Product in North America, the Architecture Billings Index, and non-residential construction square foot starts. These indicators, among others, support our demand forecast for our two largest end markets, the commercial and industrial sector and the construction and infrastructure market, which collectively accounted for approximately 86% 87% of our revenues for the six nine months ended June September 30, 2026.

• Total revenues increased $23.1 million, or 3.9%, to $612.2 million. The increase in revenue was driven by a $27.4 million increase in delivery and installation revenue related to increased sitework for large complex projects and improved activation activity and a $6.8 million increase in leasing revenue. The increases were partially due to $12.6 million of total revenue, including both leasing and delivery and installation, associated with a significant event project in the three months ended June 30, 2026. The increase in total revenue was partially offset by a $7.0 million decline in new sales and a $4.1 million decline in rental unit sales.
As of June September 30, 2026, the Company has disposed of approximately 23,000 28,000 portable storage units and 11,000 12,000 modular space units, and has exited 34 branch and drop lot locations related to the Network Optimization Plan. Portable storage units and ground level offices were generally recycled, for which we received proceeds to partially offset the cash paid for the disposal of modular other units. For the six nine months ended June September 30, 2026, we recorded restructuring and other related costs for the Network Optimization Plan of $17.8 $19.5 million, consisting primarily of asset disposal costs. Total cash paid to implement the Network Optimization plan was $14.9 $18.0 million for the six nine months ended June September 30, 2026, and was partially offset by total cash proceeds of $6.8 $7.5 million from portable storage unit and ground level office recycling. As of June September 30, 2026, we expect the initiative to result in total future costs of approximately $43 $41 million, consisting of rental equipment disposal costs of approximately $27 $26 million and rental equipment relocation costs of approximately $16 $15 million.
In each of February and May of 2026 , our Board of Directors declared quarterly dividends of $0.07 per share. In July 2026, the Board of Directors established a dividend committee (the "Dividend Committee") authorized to approve quarterly dividends within parameters approved by the Board of Directors. The Dividend Committee declared a dividend of $0.07 per share in August 2026. Dividends paid were $25.4 $38.2 million for the six nine months ended June September 30, 2026. We intend to continue our quarterly dividend program, subject to Board of Directors and Dividend Committee approval, the requirements of our debt instruments, and based on available cash flow, capital allocation priorities, and market conditions.
Financing Activities
On September 25, 2026, we redeemed $45.0 million of the 2031 Secured Notes to reduce borrowing costs. The redemption resulted in a $1.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
• Reduce outstanding During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we repaid $159.0 million of total borrowings under the senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility") by $25.6 million. and the 2031 Secured Notes.
During the six nine months ended June September 30, 2026, we repurchased 352,900 shares of Common Stock for $7.3 million, excluding excise tax. As of June September 30, 2026, $717.1 million of the authorization for future repurchases of the Common Stock remained available. We executed share repurchases as part of our capital allocation strategy to enhance shareholder value and optimize capital deployment in light of current market valuations. Refer to Part II. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our share repurchase program.
Second Third Quarter Summary
For the three months ended June September 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended June September 30, 2025, results and key drivers of our financial performance included the following:
• Total revenue increased $34.5 million, or 6.1%, to $601.3 million. The increase in revenue was driven in part by a $22.3 million increase in delivery and installation revenue related to increased modular activations and increased sitework for large complex projects. The increase in total revenues was also due to a $17.5 million increase in leasing revenue, resulting from a decrease in write-offs of aged receivables recorded as a reduction to revenue and an increase in modular space average units on rent. The increase in total revenues was partially offset by a $4.0 million decline in new sales and a $1.3 million decline in rental unit sales.
• Leasing revenue increased $6.8 $17.5 million, or 1.5%, primarily 4.0%, driven by a $5.5 decrease of $17.6 million in write-offs of aged receivables recorded as a reduction to revenue, a $5.6 million, or 2.2%, increase in modular space leasing revenue, and a $3.4 $4.2 million, or 3.4%, 4.2%, increase in VAPS and third-party leasing revenue. and a decrease of $4.7 million of write-offs of aged receivables recorded as a reduction to revenue. The increase in modular leasing revenue was driven by a 1.2% increase in average modular space units on rent, driven by strong large project activity and enterprise account commercial performance. These increases were partially offset by a $4.6 $5.6 million, or 5.8%, 7.0%, decrease in portable storage leasing revenue, driven by a 6.7% decrease in average portable storage units on rent, and a $4.2 million decrease in other leasing revenue.
• Delivery and installation revenue increased $27.4 $22.3 million, or 25.3%, 22.7%, driven by an increase in large complex projects and higher overall activity.
• Sales revenue: new unit sales revenue decreased $7.0 $4.0 million, or 32.5%, 21.7%, and rental unit sales revenue decreased $4.1 $1.3 million, or 25.2%. 8.5%.
• Generated net income of $47.0 $51.6 million for the three months ended June September 30, 2026, representing a decrease an increase of $1.0 $8.2 million, or 2.0%, 19.0%, as compared to the same period in 2025. Discrete costs during the period included $6.2 $1.7 million of charges related to the Network Optimization Plan and a $1.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt from the redemption of $45.0 million of the 2031 Secured Notes.
• Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $227.9 $233.6 million for the three months ended June September 30, 2026, representing a decrease of $21.0 $9.8 million, or 8.4%, 4.0%, as compared to the same period in 2025, driven by increased upfront variable costs associated with increased modular unit activation demand to support leasing revenue growth.
• Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $43.0 increased $6.8 million to $162.3 $198.0 million for the three months ended June September 30, 2026, driven by increased modular space activations and average units on rent and positive contributions from working capital during the decrease in quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities included $6.1 $3.1 million of cash outflows related to the execution of our Network Optimization Plan.
• Net cash used in investing activities decreased $95.1 increased $46.2 million to $113.0 million. The three months ended June 30, 2025 included $133.8 $122.7 million. in cash used for acquisitions. Capital expenditures for rental equipment increased $36.8 $52.9 million for the three months ended June September 30, 2026. The increase in capital expenditures was driven by increased investments in differentiated fleet to support activations for large complex projects. Net capital expenditures ("Net CAPEX") increased $38.8 $54.1 million for the three months ended June September 30, 2026.
• Generated Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $55.1 $78.4 million for the three months ended June September 30, 2026 as compared to $130.3 $123.6 million for the three months ended June September 30, 2025. During the three months ended June September 30, 2026, we deployed Adjusted Free Cash Flow to:
• Pay a $0.07 per share dividend, returning $12.7 $12.8 million to our shareholders.
• Redeem $45.0 million of our 2031 Secured Notes to reduce borrowing costs.
• Reduce outstanding borrowings under the senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility") by $11.5 million.
We believe that the predictability of our Adjusted Free Cash Flow allows us to pursue multiple capital allocation priorities opportunistically, including investing in organic opportunities that we see in the market, maintaining appropriate leverage, executing accretive acquisitions, and returning capital to shareholders via share repurchases and dividend distributions. We also believe our strong operating cash flow generation, countercyclical Net CAPEX profile, and $1.5 $1.6 billion of available borrowing capacity under our ABL Facility, provide ample liquidity to execute our strategy.
