Total revenues grew 21.7% to $521.5 million for the fourth quarter and increased 19.4% to $1.9 billion for the year. Our business continues to benefit from the broad-based strength in our major end-user markets. For the year, revenues from our Construction Equipment segment grew 12.9% to $1.1 billion while Material Handling revenues increased 19.4% to $681.5 million. As a result, our high-margin parts and service business revenue increased 17.7% to $519.6 million. One of our key priorities remains providing our customers with best-in-class support to keep their fleets and job sites running with as little down time as possible. Thus, we continued to expand our field service population, ending the year with more than 1,300 skilled technicians, which represents nearly half of our 3,000 employees. Overall, we achieved record results in 2023.” Mr. Greenawalt continued, “Our diversified growth strategy continues to prove very successful. During the year, we achieved organic revenues growth of 12.3% by increasing our market share, expanding our product portfolio, investing in rental fleet and entering new territories. The 16 acquisitions we have completed since going public in 2020 are also major contributors to our success, providing $537 million in revenues and $65 million in Adjusted EBITDA. We are continuing to pursue accretive acquisitions opportunities which would further expand the scale and scope of product offerings for our customers. Of course, our success would not be possible without the solid execution by our dedicated team at Alta.”
