LIVONIA, Mich., Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alta Equipment Group Inc. (NYSE: ALTG) (“Alta”, “we”, “our” or the “Company”), a leading provider of premium material handling, construction and environmental processing equipment and related services, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

CEO Comment:

Ryan Greenawalt, Chief Executive Officer of Alta, said “Our employees delivered exceptional performance in the third quarter, navigating a challenging environment marked by subdued capital investment on material handling and heavy equipment across select end markets and geographies. Industry volumes have remained depressed throughout the year and have persisted below the norm now for multiple quarters. Despite this, and while equipment sales were down during the quarter, October emerged as our strongest month of the year in that category, especially in the Construction Equipment segment. We are hopeful this signals continued customer activity for the remainder of the year as we believe the recent surge reflects a positive buyer response to the recently enacted OBBBA and the latest rounds of interest rate cuts. Looking ahead, we are encouraged by October’s momentum and remain confident in a return to normalized industry volumes across both of our major segments.” Mr. Greenawalt continued, saying “Importantly, our product support business lines continued to act as a pillar of strength for our business in the quarter, increasing versus last year and in the face of a volatile macroenvironment. In our Construction Equipment segment, our strategic focus remains on serving customers engaged in long-term federal and state DOT infrastructure projects. Notably, DOT spending budgets in our major U.S. markets are projected to rise another 6.0% in fiscal 2026, building on record levels. We are especially proud to support Michigan’s newly passed $2 billion infrastructure funding bill, which targets critical road and bridge repairs. In our Material Handling business, while we continue to see softness in the automotive and general manufacturing sectors, specifically in our Midwest and Canada regions, demand remains strong among our energy, utility, and food and beverage customers across all territories. Additionally, we remain focused on our long-term initiative of driving market share in warehousing related product categories in this segment.”

Mr. Greenawalt continued, “In terms of our financial performance, total revenues for the quarter decreased 5.8% or $26.2 million compared to the prior year. The majority of this decrease stemmed from our Construction Equipment segment, which saw a $20.7 million reduction in revenue. This decrease was primarily driven by our deliberate fleet optimization strategy, aimed at aligning supply with demand for lightly used rental equipment. As a result, the size of our total rental fleet is approximately $40 million below the prior year period. While our strategy to optimize our rental fleet has led to comparatively lower disposal volumes, rental revenues and rental equipment sales, it reflects our commitment to enhancing earnings quality by emphasizing core dealership operations over episodic rental activity. Material Handling revenues were essentially flat at $167.9 million as sales continue to be pressured by ongoing caution related to tariffs and the broader economy. Product support revenues increased 1.1% to $141.7 million supported by strong technician productivity across both major segments. We continue to be pleased with the progress on the cost savings initiatives we implemented in the second half of last year as SG&A expenses were down $4.7 million for the third quarter and $24.8 million year-to-date versus the prior year. Additionally, we completed the divesture of our Dock and Door division during the quarter, another step in our ongoing efforts to optimize our portfolio and focus on serving the right customers with the right products.”

In conclusion, Mr. Greenawalt said, “The fourth quarter is shaping up to be strong for our business, with demand for heavy earthmoving equipment gaining momentum as customers act on the tax incentives provided by the OBBBA. We also believe we are also entering a fleet replenishment cycle, which we are optimistic will extend into next year. In the meantime, our management team is laser focused on executing sales initiatives to drive market share and enhancing operational and capital efficiency to ultimately drive improved profitability and cash flows. In conclusion, while equipment markets have faced headwinds for nearly two years, our strong October sales performance, a more favorable interest rate environment, the benefits of the OBBBA, our belief over the long-term in the equipment replenishment cycle, and the confidence we have in our OEM partners give us reassurance as we look forward to 2026.”

Full Year 2025 Financial Guidance and Other Financial Notes:

• In July 2025, the OBBBA was enacted into law. Before OBBBA was enacted, interest expense limitation rules positioned the Company in a taxable income situation prior to the application of its net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), the use of which were limited and unable to shield the entirety of the Company’s taxable income. This resulted in cash taxes paid in recent years which reduced available cash liquidity. As the Company was using its NOLs, there was no need to recognize a valuation allowance against the NOL deferred tax assets (“DTAs”). For the Company, the enactment of the OBBBA legislative changes resulted in a taxable loss position on a trailing 12-quarter recast basis, prior to the application of its NOLs, primarily as a result of the change to the interest expense limitation rules. Thus, future usage of the Company’s NOLs to shield taxable income was no longer more likely than not and a full valuation allowance against those NOL DTAs was deemed appropriate, leading to the significant increase in a non-recurring, non-cash deferred income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Going forward, given the change to the interest expense limitation and the Company now being in a taxable loss situation, cash taxes paid by the Company will be reduced, a benefit to available cash liquidity in the future. Overall, the Company views the attributes of the OBBBA as a net positive for both the Company and its customer base.
• On August 29, 2025, the Company’s Material Handling segment entered into a definitive agreement and closed on the divestiture of its Dock and Door business for $6.4 million, $3.1 million of which was paid in cash at close with the remainder of the cash consideration expected to be paid to the Company upon a working capital true-up and the collection of specific customer receivables.
• The Company updates our guidance range and now expects to report Adjusted EBITDA between $168.0 million and $172.0 million for the 2025 fiscal year.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we disclose non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables, Adjusted pre-tax net income (loss), and Adjusted basic and diluted pre-tax net income (loss) per share, in this press release because we believe they are useful performance measures that assist in an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to our peers, without regard to financing methods or capital structure. We believe such measures are useful for investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management. However, such measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or in isolation from, net income (loss), revenues, operating profit, debt, or any other operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense (not including floor plan interest paid on new equipment), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjustments for certain one-time, non-recurring or non-cash items, and items not necessarily indicative of our underlying operating performance. We exclude these items from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts are either non-cash, non-recurring or can vary substantially within the industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, and the method by which the assets were acquired. Management uses Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables to reflect the Company’s estimated financial obligations less cash and floor plan payables on new equipment (“FPNP”). The FPNP is used to finance the Company’s new inventory, with its principal balance changing daily as equipment is purchased and sold and the sale proceeds are used to repay the notes. Consequently, in managing the business, management views the FPNP as interest bearing accounts payable, representing the cost of acquiring the equipment that is then repaid when the equipment is sold, as the Company’s floor plan credit agreements require repayment when such pieces of equipment are sold. The Company believes excluding the FPNP from the Company’s total debt for this purpose provides management with supplemental information regarding the Company’s capital structure and leverage profile and assists investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by Company management and research analysts. Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s debt obligations, as reported in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted pre-tax net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to reflect certain one-time, non-cash or non-recurring items, and other items not necessarily indicative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted basic and diluted pre-tax net income (loss) per share is defined as adjusted pre-tax net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares, respectively, outstanding during the period. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables, Adjusted pre-tax net income (loss), and Adjusted basic and diluted pre-tax net income (loss) per share are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance. For example, items such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, certain one-time, non-cash or non-recurring items as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted pre-tax net income (loss). Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables, Adjusted pre-tax net income (loss), and Adjusted pre-tax basic and diluted net income (loss) per share should not be construed as an indication that results will be unaffected by the items excluded from these metrics. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables, Adjusted pre-tax net income (loss), and Adjusted basic and diluted pre-tax net income (loss) per share may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most comparable measures under GAAP, please see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.
