Custom Truck One Source reports Q3 EPS (3c), consensus (2c)

Reports Q3 revenue $482.1M, consensus $492.4M. “In the third quarter, we achieved strong year-over-year revenue growth of 8% and adjusted EBITDA growth of 20%, driven by continued strength in our core T&D markets. In our ERS segment, we saw substantial growth in OEC on rent, both on a sequential and a year-over-year basis, leading to average utilization in the quarter of over 79%, the highest level in more than two years. Average OEC on rent for the quarter was $180 million higher than for the third quarter last year. We remain very positive on the mega trends driving the utility end market and the role we play in supporting the continued buildout,” said Ryan McMonagle, CEO. “Coming off near-record quarterly TES sales in the second quarter, revenue in the segment in the third quarter was up 6% versus the third quarter of last year and is up more than 8% year-to-date. We continue to see robust demand for vocational vehicles across our end markets. Signed orders in the quarter were up 30% on a year-over-year basis, more than 40% among our local and regional accounts. Given current market conditions and ongoing customer conversations regarding demand for the remainder of 2025 and for 2026, we continue to believe Custom Truck is well-positioned to benefit from the spending required to address the unprecedented power demand required for data center and electrification investments, as well as for continued utility grid upgrades. As a result, we are reaffirming our 2025 consolidated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the year.”
