WillScot Reports First Quarter 2026 Results and Raises 2026 Full Year Outlook

Exceeded Q1 2026 Outlook for Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA

Raises 2026 Full Year Outlook for Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA

and Net CAPEX on Continued Improving Commercial Demand

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WillScot Holdings Corporation ("WillScot" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:WSC), a leader in innovative temporary space solutions, today announced first quarter 2026 results, including key performance highlights and market updates, and raised its 2026 full year outlook.

Q1 2026¹

• Generated revenue of $549 million, gross profit margin percentage of 52.1%, and net income of $28 million.
• Reported Adjusted Net Income of $39 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $211 million at a 38.5% margin.
• Reported diluted and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.15 and $0.21, respectively.
• Leasing and services revenue of $525 million increased year-over-year, with a 2.0% decline in leasing revenue more than offset by a 12.3% increase in delivery and installation revenue driven by project activations during the quarter.
• Generated Net cash provided by operating activities of $191 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $116 million at a 21.1% margin.
• Paid down $76 million of outstanding debt and returned $20 million to shareholders through our quarterly cash dividend and share repurchases.
• Increased previously issued full year 2026 outlook for revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Net CAPEX given continued improving commercial demand.
  
  
  
  

Tim Boswell, President and Chief Executive Officer of WillScot, commented, "Our first quarter 2026 results were encouraging, with clear progress across our commercial and operational priorities for the year. We are seeing a steady increase in demand from larger project opportunities, most notably in the data center, power generation and utility, diversified manufacturing, and events sectors, that align well with both our value proposition and our strategic focus on enterprise accounts, new verticals, and our expanded offerings. Order and activation trends continued to strengthen through April, which combined with the growing volume of larger projects, is giving us better visibility into the second half of the year and is consistent with our longer-term strategy to drive higher quality revenue mix. Operationally, our teams are mobilizing to support increased activity levels by executing our previously announced Network Optimization Plan, rolling out our route optimization and dispatch platform in the field, continuing to optimize centralized shared services, and activating fleet to increase availability and minimize lead times across the network. Each of these initiatives supports our ability to capture immediate market opportunities while improving long-term profitability and the customer experience."

Boswell continued, "The strengthening commercial activity supports our increased 2026 outlook for Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and capital expenditures, and we think there is a credible path to inflect leasing revenues to year-over-year growth in the second half of 2026. We remain focused on advancing initiatives that are within our control to strengthen our competitive positioning, serve our customers, and drive long-term shareholder value creation. I am incredibly grateful to our team for their focus on clean and consistent execution."

Matt Jacobsen, Chief Financial Officer of WillScot, commented, "First quarter 2026 revenues of $549 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $211 million exceeded our outlook entering the year. Large project demand drove outperformance in unit activations, which drove a year-over-year increase in variable costs, but also 12% year-over-year growth in delivery and installation revenues in the quarter. While these items naturally weigh on Adjusted EBITDA margins in the short-term, we expect that these activity levels will support units-on-rent and an increased lease revenue run-rate heading into the second half of the year."

Jacobsen concluded, "Based on first quarter results and our current order book levels, we are raising our 2026 outlook to $2.250 billion in revenue and $915 million in Adjusted EBITDA. We continue to see improving commercial demand stemming mainly from larger project activity in our modular space portfolio. In contrast, we have not seen improved demand across local markets, so while stabilizing, we remain cautious about the outlook. That said, we are raising our Net CAPEX outlook to $325 million for 2026 to support strong demand in select product lines tied to large scale projects. This increase speaks favorably to our competitive positioning and is expected to offset continued softness in other transactional product categories, supporting the second half 2026 leasing revenue inflection now implied in our current outlook."

^{1 - Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin, Net Debt, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio, Net CAPEX and Return on Invested Capital are financial measures that are not required by, or calculated in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the US ("GAAP"). Further information and reconciliations for these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP are included at the end of this press release. Information reconciling forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort and, therefore, neither the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures nor reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided.}

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin, Return on Invested Capital, Net CAPEX, and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and, therefore, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. For reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release (except as explained below), see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included in this press release.

Information regarding the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and reconciling forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX to those GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort. We cannot provide the most comparable GAAP financial measures nor reconciliations of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the provision for income taxes. Preparation of such reconciliations would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income, and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort. Although we provide outlooks for Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX that we believe will be achieved, we cannot accurately predict all the components of the Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX calculations. The Company provides Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX guidance because we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX, when viewed with our results under GAAP, provides useful information for the reasons noted below.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to using GAAP financial measurements, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating results. Set forth below are definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release, reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and the reasons why we believe these measures provide useful information to investors. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of, results reported under GAAP. Our measurements of these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define EBITDA as net income plus net interest (income) expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Our adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA") reflects the following further adjustments to EBITDA to exclude certain non-cash items and the effect of what we consider transactions or events not related to our core business operations:

• Currency (gains) losses, net on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than the subsidiaries' functional currency.
• Restructuring costs, lease impairment expense, and other related charges associated with restructuring plans designed to streamline operations and reduce costs including employee and lease termination costs.
• Goodwill and other impairment charges related to non-cash costs associated with impairment charges to goodwill, other intangibles, rental fleet and property, plant and equipment.
• Costs to integrate acquired companies, including outside professional fees, non-capitalized costs associated with system integrations, non-lease branch and fleet relocation expenses, employee relocation and training costs, and other costs required to realize cost or revenue synergies.
• Transaction costs including legal and professional fees and other transaction specific related costs.
• Non-cash charges for stock compensation plans.
• Other expense, including consulting expenses related to certain one-time projects, financing costs not classified as interest expense, gains and losses on disposals of property, plant, and equipment, unrealized gains and losses on investments, costs to implement the Company's real estate exits prior to the approval of the Network Optimization Plan, and non-equity executive transition costs.
  
  
  
  

We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

We evaluate business performance utilizing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as shown in the reconciliations below. We believe that evaluating performance excluding such items noted above is meaningful because it provides insight with respect to the intrinsic and ongoing operating results of the Company and captures the business performance, inclusive of indirect costs. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (as defined below) are useful to investors because they (i) allow investors to compare performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from operating results the impact of items that do not reflect core operating performance; (ii) are used by our board of directors and management to assess our performance; (iii) may, subject to certain limitations, enable investors to compare the performance of the Company to its competitors; (iv) provide additional tools for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends; and (v) align with definitions in our ABL Facility.

Gross profit (C)	$	285,675			$	300,366
Gross Profit Margin (C/B)		52.1	%			53.7	%

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is defined as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA from the last twelve months. We define Net Debt as total debt net of total cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio provides useful information to management and investors in evaluating our borrowing capacity and allocation strategies. The following table provides a reconciliation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2026
Long-term debt	$	3,482,297

Adjusted EBITDA from the last twelve months (B)	$	953,268
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio (A/B)		3.7

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income, plus certain non-cash items and the effect of what we consider transactions not related to our core business operations, including:

• Restructuring costs, lease impairment expense, and other related charges associated with restructuring plans designed to streamline operations and reduce costs including employee and lease termination costs.
• Goodwill and other impairment charges related to non-cash costs associated with impairment charges to goodwill, other intangibles, rental fleet and property, plant and equipment.
• Depreciation expense related real estate exits.
• Equity-based executive transition costs.
• Costs to integrate acquired companies, including outside professional fees, non-capitalized costs associated with system integrations, non-lease branch and fleet relocation expenses, employee relocation and training costs, and other costs required to realize cost or revenue synergies.
• Transaction costs including legal and professional fees and other transaction specific related costs.
• Other expense, including consulting expenses related to certain one-time projects, financing costs not classified as interest expense, gains and losses on disposals of property, plant, and equipment, unrealized gains and losses on investments, costs to implement the Company's real estate exits prior to the approval of the Network Optimization Plan, and non-equity executive transition costs.
  
  
  
  

We define Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share as Adjusted Net Income divided by Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share are important measures that allow investors to evaluate performance between periods on a more comparable basis and provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and operational strength of our business.

The following table provides reconciliations of Net income to Adjusted Net Income, Diluted earnings per share to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and weighted average diluted shares outstanding to Adjusted Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding:

Return on Invested Capital

Return on Invested Capital is defined as Adjusted earnings before interest and amortization divided by Average Invested Capital. Management believes that the presentation of Return on Invested Capital provides useful information regarding the long-term health and profitability of the business relative to the Company's cost of capital. We define Adjusted earnings before interest and amortization as Adjusted EBITDA (see reconciliation above) reduced by depreciation and estimated taxes. We include estimated taxes at our current statutory tax rate.

Average Invested Capital is calculated as an average of Net Assets, a four quarter average for annual metrics and two quarter average for quarterly metrics. Net assets is defined for purposes of the calculation below as total assets less goodwill, intangible assets, net, and all non-interest bearing liabilities.
