Fiscal Year 2026

The meeting covered five key proposals, all of which were approved by a strong quorum. No additional proposals or shareholder questions were presented, and the formal business concluded efficiently.
-
Q1 2026 saw strong modular activations and enterprise account growth, with revenue and EBITDA ahead of outlook despite margin pressure from higher variable costs. Guidance for 2026 was raised, driven by a robust project pipeline and anticipated leasing revenue inflection in H2.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Q4 and full-year 2025 results met or exceeded guidance, with stable modular leasing and strong free cash flow. 2026 guidance is conservative, reflecting a storage headwind, but order momentum—especially in enterprise accounts and data centers—could drive upside if sustained. Network optimization and AI initiatives are expected to support future margin and growth.
-
North America's largest turnkey space provider is navigating a non-residential construction slowdown by focusing on operational improvements, network optimization, and value-added products. Despite volume headwinds, strong margins, stable lease durations, and a balanced capital allocation strategy support ongoing growth and shareholder returns.
-
Q3 2025 saw revenue decline year-over-year due to accounts receivable cleanup and lower project revenues, but margins improved and cash flow remained strong. The company is executing a multi-year network optimization, shifting toward higher-value offerings, and maintaining a conservative outlook for 2025.
-
Leadership transition is underway with a focus on organic growth, operational excellence, and talent development. Enterprise accounts and value-added products are key growth drivers, supported by new technology and targeted capital allocation. Order book and modular demand remain strong despite some short-term headwinds.
-
Q2 results met expectations with sequential improvements in lease revenues and margins, driven by strong performance in large projects and enterprise accounts. Guidance for 2025 was narrowed due to macro headwinds, but free cash flow outlook was raised, supported by tax benefits and working capital gains.
-
Q1 2025 results met expectations with a 7% year-over-year increase in the order book, driven by large accounts. Revenue declined 5% year-over-year, but adjusted EBITDA margin remained strong at 41%. The company reaffirmed its 2025 outlook and continues to invest in growth and shareholder returns.
-
A refreshed growth strategy targets $3B revenue, $1.5B EBITDA, and $700M free cash flow in 3–5 years, driven by operational excellence, new product categories, and enhanced sales productivity. Margin expansion and capital returns are prioritized, with organic growth at the core of the outlook.
Fiscal Year 2024
-
2024 saw record revenue and EBITDA despite end-market headwinds, driven by strategic integration, product expansion, and disciplined capital allocation. 2025 guidance anticipates stable margins, modest growth, and continued investment in new offerings, with macro uncertainty and construction demand as key variables.
-
Q3 2024 delivered record Adjusted EBITDA margin and strong free cash flow despite a 1% revenue decline and ongoing volume headwinds from weak non-residential construction. Cost reductions and digital initiatives supported margin expansion, with modest growth and further margin gains expected in 2025.
-
Q2 2024 saw 4% revenue growth and strong margins despite a soft non-residential construction market. Guidance for 2024 was revised down due to slower volume growth, but operational efficiencies, digital initiatives, and robust large-project demand position the company for record results in 2025.
