Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Preparation
Description of Business
RB Global, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “RB Global”) is a leading, omnichannel marketplace and trusted provider of value-added insights, services and transaction solutions for buyers and sellers of commercial assets and vehicles worldwide.
The Company is incorporated in Canada under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).
Basis of Preparation
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and accordingly, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with, and follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as, the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for fair financial statement presentation. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts in the following tables are in millions except per share amounts.
Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027 and interim periods in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2028 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which provides targeted improvements to ASC 350-40 to increase the operability of the recognition guidance considering different methods of software development. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2028, including interim reporting periods within that year, and may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or under a modified transition approach.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-scope Improvements, which includes a comprehensive listing of required interim disclosures and a new disclosure principle for reporting material events occurring after the most recent annual period. ASU 2025-11 is effective for the Company for interim reporting periods within the fiscal year ending December 31, 2028 and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively.
The Company is evaluating the impact of these pronouncements on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, including the methods of adoption. ASUs recently issued but not discussed above are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.
Note 3. Acquisitions
J.M. Wood
On July 14, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in J.M. Wood Auction Co., Inc. ("J.M. Wood"), an auction business located in Montgomery, Alabama, U.S. The acquisition is expected to expand the Company's geographic coverage and combines J.M. Wood's regional expertise and customer relationships with the Company's global network and technology.
The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations. The following table presents the final allocation of the purchase consideration to the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:
| | | | | |
| Fair value of purchase consideration | $ | 213.6 | |
| |
| Assets acquired and liabilities assumed: | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 6.4 | |
| Inventory | 8.2 | |
| Property, plant, and equipment, net | 4.0 | |
| Intangible assets | 48.9 | |
| Other, net | (0.8) | |
| Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired | 66.7 | |
| |
| Goodwill acquired on acquisition | $ | 146.9 | |
| |
Approximately $163.6 million of the purchase price, net of cash acquired, was paid on closing with the remainder to be paid in fixed installments on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the closing date. The deferred payments that form part of the purchase consideration have been recorded as liabilities at their acquisition-date fair value of $43.1 million, determined by discounting the contractual payments using the Company’s credit-adjusted discount rate, with $13.8 million presented within trade and other liabilities and $29.3 million presented within other non-current liabilities. The portion of the deferred payments that represents compensation for future services is being recognized over the requisite service period.
The following table presents the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Asset | | Fair value at acquisition | | Weighted average amortization period |
| Customer relationships | | $ | 45.1 | | | 7 years |
| Trade names and trademarks | | 3.8 | | | 5 years |
| Fair value of acquired intangible assets | | $ | 48.9 | | | 6.8 years |
The goodwill recognized reflects the expected synergies of the combined company, the assembled workforce of J.M. Wood, and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill has been assigned to the Ritchie Bros. reporting unit, and substantially all of it is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
J.M. Wood acquisition-related and integration costs of $4.8 million, substantially comprised of the portion of deferred payments related to post-acquisition employment, were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
BigIron
On March 4, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interest in Big Iron Auction Company (“BigIron”), a U.S.-based online marketplace for agricultural equipment, land, and livestock, for approximately $350.0 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The acquisition is expected to accelerate the Company’s strategic expansion into the U.S. agriculture sector. On April 21, 2026, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The acquisition is subject to other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026.
Blackmon
On April 13, 2026, the Company acquired the business assets of Blackmon Auctions (“Blackmon”), a U.S.-based auction provider serving the construction, transportation, agriculture, and real estate sectors. The acquisition is expected to strengthen the Company’s presence and expand its footprint in the south central U.S. As the acquisition closed subsequent to March 31, 2026, the initial accounting is incomplete. The preliminary purchase accounting will be included in the Company's second quarter 2026 condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Note 4. Segment Information
The Company has one operating and reportable segment which reflects the manner in which the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), its Chief Executive Officer, reviews and assesses the performance of the business and allocates resources.
The information used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources includes various measures of segment profit, however, for the purposes of the disclosures required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has determined that the measure most consistent with the measurement principles used in measuring the corresponding amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements is net income. Consolidated financial information is used to monitor forecast versus actual results in order to make key operating decisions. The CODM does not evaluate the performance of the Company or allocate resources at any level below the consolidated level or based on the Company's assets or liabilities.
The following table presents the significant segment expenses, in the context of deriving net income, that are regularly provided to and reviewed by the CODM, reconciled to the segment’s net income:

Note 6. Income Taxes
Income tax expense for interim periods is based upon an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for the effects of any significant and infrequent or unusual items required to be recognized discretely within the current interim period. The estimated income tax expense reflects, among other items, management’s best estimate of operating results. It does not include the estimated impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations or unusual and/or infrequent items, which may cause significant variations in the customary relationship between income tax expense and income before income taxes.
The Company's effective tax rate was 21.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The variance from the Canadian statutory federal tax rate of 25.0%, comprised of the basic corporate rate of 38% less the 13% general rate reduction, relates primarily to deductions for stock-based compensation in excess of the related book expense and the benefit related to Foreign-Derived Intangible Income.
The Company is routinely subject to tax audits and reviews in various jurisdictions around the world. Tax authorities may challenge the manner in which the Company has filed its tax returns and reported its income.
On December 3, 2024, the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") issued the Company a Notice of Assessment and Statement of Interest for C$79.1 million ($56.9 million), for the taxation years 2010 through 2015, inclusive of C$37.7 million ($27.1 million) in income taxes, and C$41.4 million ($29.8 million) in interest and penalties. The CRA is asserting that one of the Company’s Luxembourg subsidiaries, which was in operation from 2010 to 2020, was a resident in Canada from 2010 through 2015 and that its worldwide income should be subject to Canadian income taxation.
In February 2025, the Company filed a Notice of Objection with the CRA as it believes it is and has been in full compliance with Canadian tax laws and it intends to pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies necessary to resolve this matter. In addition, the Company paid a deposit of C$39.5 million ($28.4 million) to the CRA in early February 2025, recorded within other non-current assets, the minimum required by law as part of the CRA’s objection process. In the event that the Company prevails in its objection or subsequent legal proceedings, the deposit would be refunded with interest to the Company. In June 2025, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal with the Tax Court of Canada. In October 2025, the Canadian Crown filed a response to the Company’s Notice of Appeal with the Tax Court of Canada maintaining the CRA’s assertion and requesting that the Company’s appeal be dismissed. The Company believes the Crown’s response is without merit and plans to continue to litigate.
In the event that the Company’s tax filing position is not upheld by either the CRA or by a court of last resort, the Company would incur and record the amounts assessed in income tax, interest and penalties in its consolidated financial statements, which could have a material negative effect on the Company’s results of operations.
The Company, from time to time, receives correspondence and information requests relating to this matter, including as it relates to other taxation years, to which it responds fully and timely. Depending on the outcome of this matter, the Company could incur additional income taxes, penalties and interest, which could have a material negative effect on its results of operations.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has not recorded any amounts relating to this matter in the consolidated financial statements, as it is the Company’s conclusion that it is more likely than not that the Company’s tax filing position will ultimately be sustained. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter and the final disposition of any appeals, which could take numerous years to resolve.

| Senior Unsecured Notes | Level 1 | | 792.7 | | | 828.5 | | | 792.4 | | | 837.0 | |
The fair value of loans receivable with a maturity date greater than one year are determined by estimating discounted cash flows using market rates. The fair values of the Revolving Facility loans and TLA Facility loans, before deduction of deferred debt issuance costs, approximate their carrying amounts as the interest rates are market-based and short-term in nature. The fair values of the Senior Secured Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes are determined by reference to a quoted market price traded in an over-the-counter broker market.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments was not material at March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025. The gross notional amount of forward currency contracts outstanding at March 31, 2026 was $76.4 million (December 31, 2025 - $59.6 million).

Loans Receivable
The Company participates in fully collateralized lending arrangements secured by equipment and, in some cases, other assets. These arrangements typically have terms of one to five years. In an event of default, the Company will be entitled to the proceeds of disposition of the collateral to recover the loans receivable balance. The related allowance for credit losses is not material.

1 Interest rates on Revolving Facility and TLA Facility loans reflect the weighted-average interest rates on borrowings as of March 31, 2026. |
At March 31, 2026, the Company had undrawn Revolving Facility commitments aggregating $1.0 billion available until April 2030, subject to certain covenant restrictions, and undrawn uncommitted foreign credit facility capacity aggregating $15.0 million available indefinitely. The Company was in compliance with all financial and other covenants applicable to its debt agreements at March 31, 2026.
Credit Agreement
In 2016, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders (as amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement is comprised of multi-currency revolving facilities (the “Revolving Facility”) and the Term Loan A facility (the “TLA Facility”). The TLA Facility is comprised of a facility denominated in U.S. dollars (the “USD TLA Facility”) and a facility denominated in Canadian dollars (the “CAD TLA Facility”).
On April 3, 2025, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Facility from $750.0 million to $1.3 billion, reduce the USD TLA Facility from $1.225 billion to $950.0 million, reduce certain loan margins and fees, adjust certain covenants for more financial flexibility, and extend the maturity of the Credit Agreement from September 21, 2026 to April 3, 2030. Revolving Facility and TLA Facility loans bear interest at a benchmark rate plus an applicable margin and the TLA Facility loans are subject to quarterly installment payments of 1.25% of principal, with the balance of the loans due at maturity.
Senior Secured and Unsecured Notes
On March 15, 2023, the Company completed the offering of (i) $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.750% senior secured notes due March 15, 2028 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) and (ii) $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.750% senior unsecured notes due March 15, 2031 (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”, and together with the Senior Secured Notes, the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The Senior Secured Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior secured basis and the Senior Unsecured Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.
Note 13. Temporary Equity, Equity and Dividends
Series A Senior Preferred Shares
The Series A Senior Preferred Shares are convertible into common stock and were issued at an initial conversion price of $73.00 per share, which is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment provisions. The conversion price is $71.58 per share as of March 31, 2026. The Series A Senior Preferred Shares carry a 5.5% preferred dividend, which is payable quarterly, in cash or in shares at the Company's option, and are entitled to participate on an as-converted basis in the Company's regular quarterly common share dividends, subject to a $0.27 per share per quarter floor. The Series A Senior Preferred Shares have no par value.
On the fourth anniversary of the issuance date of February 1, 2023, holders will have the right to increase the preferred dividend to 7.50%, and on the ninth anniversary of the issuance date, holders will have the right to increase the preferred dividend to a fixed percentage equal to the greater of (a) 600 bps over the daily simple SOFR as then in effect and (b) 10.50%, subject, in each case, to the Company’s right to redeem the Series A Senior Preferred Shares for which a dividend rate increase has been demanded.
Upon consummation of one or more specified change of control transactions, the holders will have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Series A Senior Preferred Shares in cash provided, however, that each holder, at its option, may elect instead to convert its Series A Senior Preferred Shares into the applicable change of control consideration. In addition, the Company has the right to redeem the Series A Senior Preferred Shares in the event of a change of control transaction where the successor entity is not traded on certain eligible markets. The possible future redemption of the Series A Senior Preferred Shares as a result of a change in control has been assessed as not probable at March 31, 2026.
Holders of the Series A Senior Preferred Shares are entitled to vote together with the common stock on an as-converted basis on all matters permitted by applicable law, subject to certain exceptions to enable compliance with applicable antitrust law. The Series A Senior Preferred Shares rank, with respect to rights as to dividends, distributions, redemptions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, (a) senior to all of the junior preferred stock, common stock and any other class or series of capital shares of the Company, issued or authorized after the Series A Senior Preferred Shares issuance date, the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series ranks senior to or on a parity with the Series A Senior Preferred Shares, (b) on a parity basis with each other class or series of capital shares issued or authorized after the Series A Senior Preferred Shares issuance date, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks on a parity basis with the Series A Senior Preferred Shares, and (c) junior with each other class or series of capital shares issued or authorized after the Series A Senior Preferred Shares issuance date, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks on a senior basis to the Series A Senior Preferred Shares.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, holders of the Series A Senior Preferred Shares were entitled to preferred dividends of $6.7 million (three months ended March 31, 2025 - $6.7 million) and participating dividends of $2.2 million (three months ended March 31, 2025 - $1.9 million).
Redeemable Non-controlling Interest
Redeemable non-controlling interest related to the put/call agreement with one of the minority unitholders of VeriTread, under which the holder could put its remaining 21% interest to the Company if certain performance targets were met.
In January 2026, the minority unitholder exercised its put option, and the Company acquired the remaining redeemable non-controlling interest for approximately $12.3 million, reducing the redeemable non-controlling interest to nil. Subsequently, the Company also acquired the remaining interest held by the other remaining non-controlling interest holder. As of March 31, 2026, the Company owns 100% of VeriTread.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1.

Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts in the following tables are in millions, except per share amounts.
Overview
For a complete overview of our business, refer to Part I, Item 1: Business of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The sectors discussed below are organized by asset class and include Automotive, Commercial, Construction and Transportation (“CC&T”), and Other. Automotive includes automobiles, including passenger vehicles and buses. CC&T includes equipment needed for earth moving, lift and material handling, as well as vocational and commercial trucks and trailers. Other primarily includes assets and equipment related to the agricultural, forestry and energy industries, government surplus assets, smaller consumer recreational transportation items and parts sold in our vehicle dismantling business1. Each respective sector includes salvage and non-salvage transactions.
Key Operating Metrics
We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key operating metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, and make operating decisions. We believe these key operating metrics are useful to investors because management uses these metrics to assess the growth of our business and the effectiveness of our operational strategies.
Gross Transaction Value ("GTV"): Represents total proceeds from all items sold on our auctions and online marketplaces, third-party online marketplaces, private brokerage services and other disposition channels. GTV is not a measure of financial performance, liquidity, or revenue, and is not presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Inventory return: Inventory sales revenue less cost of inventory sold.
Inventory rate: Inventory return divided by inventory sales revenue.
Total lots sold: A single asset to be sold or a group of assets bundled for sale as one unit.
Financial Highlights

•Total GTV increased 13% to $4.3 billion
•Total revenue increased 11% to $1.2 billion
◦Service revenue increased 5% to $897.7 million
◦Inventory sales revenue increased 32% to $336.9 million

Macroeconomic Conditions and Trends
Various macroeconomic conditions and trends, including inflationary pressures, actual or potential tariffs, and volatility in interest rates, affect our business, GTV, and operating costs. Our GTV is further influenced by unit volume growth and changes in average selling prices, which in part are driven by prevailing market conditions.
CC&T
Industry volumes are influenced by a broad range of factors, including macroeconomic conditions, demographic trends, government initiatives, and infrastructure investment. Structural shifts in the market—such as the expansion of data centers, increased manufacturing activity, and re‑shoring efforts—also play a significant role in shaping demand. During the first quarter of 2026, we continued to observe early indications of improving seller confidence, supported by stabilizing values for used equipment, a more favorable interest rate environment, and continued strength in large-scale construction projects, including civil infrastructure and mega projects. We also believe that a portion of the quarter's volume growth reflects the release of pent-up supply, as sellers deferred decisions throughout 2025.
Automotive
Industry unit volume growth is influenced by both the total number of accidents and the proportion of those accidents classified as total losses. Accident frequency is primarily driven by the number of vehicles in operation and aggregate miles traveled. A substantial percentage of these accidents are insured, and insurer involvement plays an important role in determining whether a vehicle is deemed a total loss. At the same time, underinsured accidents can create headwinds for volumes, as insufficient coverage may delay or reduce total‑loss designations and thereby limit the flow of vehicles into salvage channels.
Total‑loss determinations are shaped by several factors, including used vehicle pricing, vehicle age, design complexity, technology content, and repair costs. In the first quarter of 2026, the inflation differential between automotive repair costs and used vehicle prices expanded and remains positive. This dynamic supports a higher percentage of total‑loss determinations relative to overall accidents, creating a favorable environment for salvage activity despite the moderating effect of underinsured incidents.
Recent Developments
•During the first quarter of 2026, the Company obtained Toronto Stock Exchange approval to commence a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) to purchase up to the lesser of (a) 10.0 million Company common shares, and (b) that number of Company common shares worth an aggregate of $500.0 million. The Company intends to make repurchases on an opportunistic basis with decisions regarding the amount and the timing of repurchases based on market conditions at the time, the Company’s share price, and other strategic investment opportunities available to the Company as well as other factors.
•On March 4, 2026, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the equity interest in Big Iron Auction Company (“BigIron”), a U.S.-based online marketplace for agricultural equipment, land, and livestock, for approximately $350.0 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The acquisition is expected to accelerate the Company’s strategic expansion into the U.S. agriculture sector. On April 21, 2026, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The acquisition is subject to other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026.
•On April 13, 2026, the Company acquired the business assets of Blackmon Auctions (“Blackmon”), a U.S.-based auction provider serving the construction, transportation, agriculture, and real estate sectors. The acquisition is expected to strengthen the Company’s presence and expand its footprint in the south central U.S. Blackmon conducts both live and online auctions and processed more than $60 million of GTV in 2025.

The following table presents total lots sold by sector for the periods indicated (thousands of lots sold):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three months ended March 31, | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2026 | | 2025 | | % Change | | | | | | |
| Automotive | | 631.3 | | | 625.6 | | | 1 | % | | | | | | |
| Commercial construction and transportation | | 97.8 | | | 87.6 | | | 12 | % | | | | | | |
| Other | | 128.4 | | | 141.9 | | | (10) | % | | | | | | |
| Total lots sold | | 857.5 | | | 855.1 | | | — | % | | | | | | |
GTV increased 13% in the first quarter of 2026, driven by organic growth across all regions and sectors and the inclusion of J.M. Wood Auction Co., Inc. ("J.M. Wood") and Smith Broughton Pty Ltd ("Smith Broughton") following their acquisitions by the Company on July 14, 2025 and November 28, 2025, respectively.
Automotive sector GTV increased 7% in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to an increase in average price per lot sold from favorable pricing across all regions and international market share gains, partially offset by lower unit volumes due to timing and the non-repeat of prior year catastrophic events in the United States.
CC&T sector GTV increased 27% in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to higher average price per lot sold, higher unit volumes and a favorable foreign exchange impact. Higher average price per lot sold is attributable to improved asset mix and strong pricing in the United States. Higher unit volumes are attributable to additional auction events in Canada and the United States, organic growth in all regions and the inclusion of J.M. Wood and Smith Broughton in 2026.
Service Revenue
The following table presents service revenue disaggregated by type for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three months ended March 31, | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2026 | | 2025 | | % Change | | | | | | |
| Transactional seller revenue | | $ | 241.3 | | | $ | 216.8 | | | 11 | % | | | | | | |
| Transactional buyer revenue | | 577.5 | | | 556.7 | | | 4 | % | | | | | | |
| Marketplace services revenue | | 78.9 | | | 79.0 | | | — | % | | | | | | |
| Total service revenue | | $ | 897.7 | | | $ | 852.5 | | | 5 | % | | | | | | |
Transactional seller revenue increased 11% in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to service GTV growth in the CC&T and Automotive sectors, as discussed above, and a higher average seller commission rate in the CC&T sector due to a favorable contract mix.
Transactional buyer revenue increased 4% in the first quarter of 2026 driven by higher volumes, partially offset by lower average buyer fee rate due to asset mix and acquired businesses contributing at a lower rate.
Inventory Sales Revenue
Inventory sales revenue increased 32% in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to higher CC&T inventory sales driven by higher unit volumes, partially due to the inclusion of J.M. Wood, and higher average price per lot sold. These increases were partially offset by lower Automotive inventory sales.
Costs of Services
Costs of services increased 1% in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to higher employee compensation costs and increased property costs, driven by increased operating lease expense related to growth in operations. These increases were partially offset by the recovery of accrued Canadian Digital Services Tax ("DST") relating to the period of July 1, 2024 to March 26, 2026, following its repeal on March 26, 2026. Note that DST incurred post-July 1, 2024 was recorded within cost of services, while the retrospectively enacted portion, relating to the period of January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024, was recorded within selling, general and administrative.
Cost of Inventory Sold and Inventory Rate
Inventory rate increased 80bps to 9.0% in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to favorable pricing in the CC&T sector in the United States and Canada.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 4% in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to increases in employee compensation costs, travel, advertising and promotion costs, and the inclusion of J.M. Wood and Smith Broughton. Employee compensation costs increased primarily due to higher short-term incentive compensation. Travel, advertising and promotion costs increased primarily due to industry event costs. These increases were partially offset by the recovery of accrued DST, as discussed above.
Acquisition-related and Integration Costs
Acquisition-related and integration costs increased 100% in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to costs associated with the acquisition of J.M. Wood.
Operating Income
Operating income increased 15% in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to higher flow-through of service revenue and high inventory return, as discussed above. These increases were partially offset by the increase in depreciation and amortization expense as a result of intangible asset additions, along with the increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses, as discussed above.
Income Tax Expense and Effective Tax Rate
The effective tax rate increased 100 bps to 21.7% in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to increased non-deductible expenses.
Net Income Available to Common Stockholders
Net income available to common stockholders increased 21% in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to higher operating income, as discussed above, and lower interest expense due to lower outstanding principal and lower variable interest rates. These increases are partially offset by an increase in income tax expense, as discussed above.

Foreign exchange did not have a material impact on our results of operations in the first quarter of 2026, when compared to the prior year quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity is primarily affected by fluctuations in cash flow from operations, significant acquisitions, dividend payments, capital spending, and repayments of debt. We are also committed under various letters of credit and provide certain guarantees in the normal course of business.
We believe our principal sources of liquidity, which include cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, and unused capacity under our revolving credit facilities of $1.0 billion (discussed in further detail below), are sufficient to fund our current and planned operating activities. In the current interest rate environment, we will continue to evaluate and pursue the most financially beneficial arrangements to fund future capital expenditures, which may include lease agreements or cash purchases.
Our most significant short-term cash requirements include, among others, (i) dividend payments, (ii) settlements with consignors, (iii) employee compensation, with the majority of short-term incentive compensation paid annually in the first quarter, (iv) income tax installments, (v) scheduled debt repayments and interest payments, (vi) committed information technology and other capital expenditures, (vii) lease and equipment financing obligation payments, and (viii) other working capital requirements.
Our most significant long-term cash requirements include, among others, (i) scheduled debt repayments, including upon maturity, and interest payments, and (ii) lease and equipment financing obligation payments. In the event the Company is not successful in its appeal with the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company may be required to pay the remaining assessed amounts with interest. For more information on our debt and leases, see Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 12. Debt and Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note 15. Leases, respectively, in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our Credit Agreement includes multi-currency revolving credit facilities (the “Revolving Facilities”). Unused capacity under our Revolving Facilities is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 | | |
| Committed | | | | | | |
| Multicurrency revolving credit facilities | | $ | 1,300.0 | | | $ | 1,300.0 | | | |
| Uncommitted | | | | | | |
| Foreign demand revolving credit facilities | | 15.0 | | | 15.0 | | | |
| Total revolving credit facilities | | $ | 1,315.0 | | | $ | 1,315.0 | | | |
| Unused | | | | | | |
| Multicurrency revolving credit facilities | | $ | 1,001.8 | | | $ | 1,146.1 | | | |
| Foreign demand revolving credit facilities | | 15.0 | | | 15.0 | | | |
| Total revolving credit facilities unused | | $ | 1,016.8 | | | $ | 1,161.1 | | | |
Our ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement is subject to compliance with financial covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. We were in compliance with all financial and other covenants applicable to our debt agreements at March 31, 2026. In the event of sustained deterioration of global markets and economies, we expect the covenants pertaining to our leverage ratio would be the most restrictive to our ability to access funding under our Credit Agreement. We continue to evaluate courses of action to maintain current levels of liquidity and compliance with our debt covenants.
If we were to consider further acquisitions to deliver on our strategic growth drivers, we may seek financing through the equity or debt markets. The issuance of additional equity securities may result in dilution to existing shareholders. Issuance of preferred equity securities could provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock. Further, this additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.
Cash Flows | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three months ended March 31, |
| | | | | | | |
| | 2026 | | 2025 | | Change | |
| Cash provided by (used in): | | | | | | | |
| Operating activities | | $ | 224.1 | | | $ | 156.8 | | | $ | 67.3 | | |
| Investing activities | | (78.8) | | | (101.9) | | | 23.1 | | |
| Financing activities | | 23.6 | | | (45.0) | | | 68.6 | | |
| Effect of changes in foreign currency rates | | (4.3) | | | 3.1 | | | (7.4) | | |
| | | | | | | |
| Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | | $ | 164.6 | | | $ | 13.0 | | | $ | 151.6 | | |
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher net income from operations and a favorable net change in operating assets and liabilities. The favorable net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to timing of book overdrafts, income tax installment payments and inventory sales and purchases, and the non-repeat of the deposit paid to the CRA in the first quarter of 2025. These changes were partially offset by the settlement of accrued liabilities, including the final arbitration ruling to the former-CEO, the timing of auction settlements, and the timing and size of auctions.
The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to decreased loan issuances.
The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to an increase in short-term revolving facility borrowings, reflecting short-term liquidity requirements in certain countries, partially offset by the acquisition of the VeriTread non-controlling interests.
Dividend Information
We declared and paid a dividend of $0.31 per common share during the three months ended March 31, 2026. We declared, but have not yet paid, a dividend of $0.31 per common share subsequent to March 31, 2026. All dividends that we pay are “eligible dividends” for Canadian income tax purposes unless indicated otherwise.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
At March 31, 2026, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies, judgments, estimates and assumptions from those disclosed in Part I, Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Non-GAAP Measures
We reference various non-GAAP measures throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These measures do not have a standardized meaning and are, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders and Diluted Adjusted EPS Available to Common Stockholders
We believe that adjusted net income available to common stockholders provides useful information about the growth or decline of our net income available to common stockholders for the relevant financial period and eliminates the financial impact of adjusting items we do not consider to be part of our normal operating results. Diluted adjusted EPS available to common stockholders eliminates the financial impact of adjusting items from net income available to common stockholders that we do not consider to be part of our normal operating results. Please refer to page 29 for a summary of adjusting items. Adjusted net income available to common stockholders is calculated as net income available to common stockholders, excluding the effects of adjusting items that we do not consider to be part of our normal operating results, such as stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related and integration costs, restructuring costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, executive transition costs and certain other items.
Net income available to common stockholders is calculated as net income attributable to controlling interests, less cumulative dividends on Series A Senior Preferred Shares, allocated earnings to Series A Senior Preferred Shares, and adjustments to redeemable non-controlling interest.
Diluted adjusted EPS available to common stockholders is calculated by dividing adjusted net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of dilutive shares outstanding, except that it is computed based upon the lower of the two-class method or the if-converted method, which includes the effects of the assumed conversion of the Series A Senior Preferred Shares and the effect of shares issuable under the Company’s stock-based incentive plans, if such effect is dilutive.
The following table reconciles adjusted net income available to common stockholders and diluted adjusted EPS available to common stockholders to net income available to common stockholders and diluted EPS available to common stockholders, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures in our condensed consolidated financial statements:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended March 31, | | 2026 | | 2025 | | % Change | | | | | | |

| Diluted adjusted earnings per share available to common stockholders | | $ | 1.01 | | | $ | 0.89 | | | 13 | % | | | | | | |
Adjusted EBITDA
We believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information and is a key performance measure because it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and it provides management with the ability to monitor its controllable incremental revenues and costs.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax expense, and subtracting interest income from net income, as well as adding back the adjusting items as described on page 29. The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure in, or calculated from, our condensed consolidated financial statements:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended March 31, | | 2026 | | 2025 | | % Change | | | | | | |

Adjusted Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA
We believe that comparing adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis, across different periods, provides useful information to investors about our operational performance and financial flexibility. This ratio indicates the period of time it would take to repay both our short- and long-term debt from operating earnings. We do not consider this to be a measure of liquidity, which is our ability to meet short-term obligations, but rather a measure of how well we manage our liquidity position. Measures of liquidity are noted under “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Adjusted net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from short and long-term debt. Adjusted net debt/adjusted EBITDA is calculated by dividing adjusted net debt by adjusted EBITDA.
The following table reconciles adjusted net debt to debt, adjusted EBITDA to net income, and adjusted net debt/ adjusted EBITDA to debt/ net income, respectively, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures in, or calculated from, our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted Return and Adjusted Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC")
We believe that comparing adjusted ROIC on a trailing twelve-month basis across different periods provides useful information about the after-tax return generated by our investments. Adjusted ROIC is a measure used by management to determine how productively the Company uses its long-term capital to gauge investment decisions.
ROIC is calculated as reported return divided by average invested capital. Reported return is defined as net income attributable to controlling interests excluding the impact of net interest expense and tax effected at the Company’s adjusted annualized effective tax rate. Adjusted ROIC is calculated as adjusted return divided by average invested capital. Adjusted return is defined as reported return and adjusted for items that we do not consider to be part of our normal operating results and tax effected at the applicable tax rate.
The following table reconciles adjusted return and adjusted ROIC to net income attributable to controlling interests, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure in, or calculated from, our condensed consolidated financial statements:

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2026. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of that date, the disclosure controls are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated, communicated to management as appropriate, and recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
The Company, including its CEO and CFO, does not expect that its internal controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
