2026 Financial Outlook

RB Global also announced today that it expects its full year 2026 financial results to be at the high end of the outlook range provided on August 4, 2026, and shown below:

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 & equipment, or other assets, (b) acquisition-related or integration costs relating to our mergers 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.

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Conference Call

As previously announced, RB Global will release its third quarter 2026 financial results before the market opens on Monday, November 9, 2026, and host a conference call and webcast to discuss the results at 8:30 a.m. ET. Conference call and webcast details are available at: https://investor.rbglobal.com.
