U-Haul Holding Co /NV/ (UHAL)

U-Haul Holding Company (NYSE: UHAL, UHAL.B), parent of U-Haul International, Inc., Oxford Life Insurance Company, Repwest Insurance Company and Amerco Real Estate Company, today reported net earnings available to common shareholders for its first quarter ended June 30, 2026, of $122.9 million, compared with net earnings of $142.3 million for the same period last year. Earnings per share for Non-Voting Shares (UHAL.B) were $0.63 for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared to $0.73 for the same period in fiscal 2026. “The pickup and van resale market is tepid, yet we produced a gain on sale this quarter after several quarters of losses. Our U-Haul truck resale team is thoughtfully gaining ground,” stated Joe Shoen, Chairman of U-Haul Holding Company. “The pace of storage unit rent up is increasing and rates are holding. More improvement is needed as we are still completing new storage units faster than we are filling them. We are successfully expanding our U-Haul independent dealer teams.

The two-class method allocates the undistributed earnings available to common stockholders to the Company’s outstanding common stock, $0.25 par value (the “Voting Common Stock”) and the Series N Non-Voting Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Non-Voting Common Stock”) based on each share’s percentage of total weighted average shares outstanding. The Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock are allocated 10% and 90%, respectively, of our undistributed earnings available to common stockholders. This represents earnings available to common stockholders less the dividends declared for both the Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock. Our undistributed earnings per share is calculated by taking the undistributed earnings available to common stockholders and dividing this number by the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective stock. If there was a dividend declared for that period, the dividend per share is added to the undistributed earnings per share to calculate the basic and diluted earnings per share. The process is used for both Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 for our Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock were as follows: For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2026 2025 (Unaudited) (In thousands, except share and per share amounts) Weighted average shares outstanding of Voting Common Stock 19,545,696 19,607,788 Total weighted average shares outstanding for Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock 195,869,719 196,077,880 Percent of weighted average shares outstanding of Voting Common Stock 10 % 10 % Net earnings available to common stockholders $ 122,929 $ 142,331 Voting Common Stock dividends declared – – Non-Voting Common Stock dividends declared (8,813 ) (8,824 ) Undistributed earnings available to common stockholders $ 114,116 $ 133,507 Undistributed earnings available to common stockholders allocated to Voting Common Stock $ 11,412 $ 13,351 Undistributed earnings per share of Voting Common Stock $ 0.58 $ 0.68 Dividends declared per share of Voting Common Stock $ – $ – Basic and diluted earnings per share of Voting Common Stock $ 0.58 $ 0.68 Weighted average shares outstanding of Non-Voting Common Stock 176,324,023 176,470,092 Total weighted average shares outstanding for Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock 195,869,719 196,077,880 Percent of weighted average shares outstanding of Non-Voting Common Stock 90 % 90 % Net earnings available to common stockholders $ 122,929 $ 142,331 Voting Common Stock dividends declared – – Non-Voting Common Stock dividends declared (8,813 ) (8,824 ) Undistributed earnings available to common stockholders $ 114,116 $ 133,507 Undistributed earnings available to common stockholders allocated to Non-Voting Common Stock $ 102,704 $ 120,156 Undistributed earnings per share of Non-Voting Common Stock $ 0.58 $ 0.68 Dividends declared per share of Non-Voting Common Stock $ 0.05 $ 0.05 Basic and diluted earnings per share of Non-Voting Common Stock $ 0.63 $ 0.73 Non-GAAP Financial Measures Below is a reconciliation of Moving and Storage non-GAAP financial measures adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes that these widely accepted measures of operating profitability enhance the transparency of its disclosures, provide a meaningful presentation of the Company's results from its core business operations excluding the impact of items not related to ongoing core business operations, and improve the period-to-period comparability of those results. These non-GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for GAAP financial results and should only be considered in conjunction with the Company's financial information that is presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measure reported is adjusted EBITDA. The table below presents the reconciliation of the trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA measures to its most directly comparable GAAP measures.
