For the Third Quarter:
•GTV increased 20% year-over-year to $4.7 billion, reflecting broad-based strength across all sectors. Automotive GTV increased 18%, driven by higher unit volumes, including the impact of net market share gains, and higher average selling prices across both salvage and remarketed vehicles. GTV in the heavy equipment and transportation ("HE&T") sector increased 19% year-over-year, driven by contributions from acquisitions that were not included in the prior-year period and strong underlying growth. GTV in other increased primarily due to the addition of BigIron real estate transactions. Excluding contributions from acquisitions that were not included in the prior-year period, total GTV increased 14%.
•Service revenue increased 10% year over year to $927.9 million, driven by higher GTV, partially offset by lower service revenue take rate. Service revenue take rate declined 186 basis points year over year to 19.8%, primarily reflecting strategic portfolio mix which includes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and growth in automotive remarketing. Increased real estate transaction volumes and normal business mix impacts also contributed to the decline.
•Inventory sales revenue increased 40% year over year to $346.5 million, primarily due to higher HE&T volumes, changes in HE&T customer contract preference, and acquisitions, partially offset by lower automotive revenue. The inventory rate increased 54 basis points year over year to 5.2%, primarily due to improved performance in the HE&T sector.
•Net income available to common stockholders increased to $128.7 million, primarily due to higher operating income, a one-time $18.2 million excise tax refund related to the 2023 acquisition of IAA, and the non-recurrence of the $5.0 million adjustment to redeemable non-controlling interest recognized in the third quarter of 2025. These increases were partially offset by higher income tax expense.
| RB Global, Inc. | 2 | ||||
•Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 13% year over year, driven by GTV growth and higher contribution from inventory returns, partially offset by higher operating expenses and lower service revenue take rate.
GTV by Sector
Effective in the second quarter of 2026, we revised our sector presentation. Historically, we organized sector disclosures into (i) Automotive, (ii) Commercial, Construction and Transportation ("CC&T"), and (iii) Other. Under the revised presentation, the former CC&T sector and certain asset categories previously included in Other have been combined into Heavy Equipment & Transportation.
HE&T includes heavy equipment and machinery, commercial transportation assets, and equipment serving the agriculture, forestry and energy industries. Other primarily includes consumer items, real estate, and dismantled vehicle parts2. The composition of Automotive is unchanged and continues to include both salvage and non-salvage, or remarketed, passenger vehicles. Each sector includes both salvage and non-salvage transactions across all of our marketplace brands.
Prior-period GTV and lots sold information has been recast to conform to the current presentation. The recast relates solely to the classification of amounts between sectors and does not impact total consolidated GTV or lots sold.

Non-GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)
This news release references non-GAAP measures. 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.
The Company has not provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA outlook for fiscal 2026 to GAAP net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, because without unreasonable efforts, it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or timing of non-GAAP adjustments that are used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA, including but not limited to: (a) the net loss or gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment, or other assets, (b) acquisition-related or integration costs relating to our merger and acquisition activity, including severance costs, (c) restructuring costs, (d) stock-based compensation expense, which value is directly impacted by the fluctuations in our share price and other variables, and (e) other expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations. These adjustments are uncertain, depend on various factors that are beyond our control and could have a material impact on net income for fiscal 2026.
Please refer to the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2026 for a summary of adjusting items for the first three quarters of 2026. The adjusting items recognized in prior-year quarters are discussed in Part II, 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.
Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts in the following tables are in millions, except per share amounts and percentages.
Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders and Diluted Adjusted EPS Available to Common Stockholders Reconciliation
The Company believes that adjusted net income available to common stockholders provides useful information about the growth or decline of the net income available to common stockholders for the relevant financial period and eliminates the financial impact of adjusting items the Company does not consider to be part of the 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 the Company does not consider to be part of the normal operating results.
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.

Adjusted EBITDA
The Company believes 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.
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:

Adjusted Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation
The Company believes that comparing adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis, across different periods, provides useful information to investors about the Company's 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. The Company does not consider this to be a measure of its liquidity, which is its ability to meet short-term obligations, but rather a measure of how well it manages its liquidity position. Measures of liquidity are noted under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
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.
