Large project and event activity, combined with our Enterprise Accounts and verticals strategies, drove year-over-year modular unit activation growth for the third consecutive quarter and a return to year-over-year revenue growth. We believe that our expanded product offering and operational capabilities are a winning combination in this market environment, and we continue to see strong year-over-year growth in our order book heading into the second half of the year. To support this momentum, we are advancing our fleet readiness plans with increased work order and refurbishment activity, as well as new fleet investment in our highest demand and most differentiated fleet categories. And we are complementing these efforts with the continued rollout of our route optimization and dispatch platform and expansion of our field and project management services all of which support the superior execution that we bring to our customers.”Boswell continued, “While overall non-residential construction activity remains muted, the mix of that activity, combined with our go-to-market strategy, our offering, and our operational capabilities, is driving momentum into the second half of the year. We are raising our 2026 outlook for Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA modestly, recognizing both this top-line momentum and the continued uncertain economic environment. And we are raising our outlook for capital expenditures based on specific project opportunities we expect to execute heading into 2027. Overall, I am incredibly proud of how our team has responded in this market environment. We are capturing and creating new commercial opportunities, expanding our capabilities to build upon our competitive strengths, and executing operationally on behalf of our customers, all with a clear focus on driving long-term shareholder value creation.”Matt Jacobsen, Chief Financial Officer of WillScot, commented, “Second quarter 2026 revenues of $612 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $228 million exceeded our outlook, supported by solid leasing and services revenue growth. Leasing revenue continued to improve sequentially, driven by large project activity. And we were pleased to see leasing revenue inflect to year-over-year growth in the quarter earlier than expected, driven in part by a significant event project. Margin performance in the quarter reflects elevated variable costs supporting modular space unit activation growth, in addition to the revenue mix impact of higher delivery and installation revenue as we expected. These margin pressures are normal in periods of elevated activity. And our unit activation trends, pending order book, and continued investments in the fleet reinforce our confidence in sustained leasing revenue growth in the second half of this year.”This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Jacobsen concluded, “Based on first half 2026 results and current commercial demand, we are raising our 2026 outlook to $2.3 billion in revenue and $920 million in Adjusted EBITDA. Large project demand remains solid, with our differentiated product lines and service capabilities driving strong win rates. To support this growth, we are raising our Net CAPEX outlook to $375 million for 2026. The incremental capital will be used to purchase and refurbish fleet in our highest demand product categories, serving large projects that we expect to activate in the second half of the year and into early 2027. Based on our top-line momentum and large project pipeline, we anticipate year-over-year leasing revenue trends to continue improving while variable activation costs begin to taper sequentially and help drive significant sequential margin expansion through the remainder of 2026. Despite these encouraging trends, we will continue to take a measured approach in our outlook.”Second Quarter 2026 Results1 Three Months EndedJune 30,Six Months EndedJune 30,(in thousands, except share data) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Revenue$612,151 $589,083 $1,160,779 $1,148,634 Net income$46,973 $47,939 $75,096 $90,994 Adjusted Net Income$51,711 $60,399 $90,558 $109,058 Adjusted EBITDA$227,884 $248,913 $438,898 $477,698 Gross profit margin 50.0% 50.3% 51.0% 51.9%Adjusted EBITDA Margin (%) 37.2% 42.3% 37.8% 41.6%Net cash provided by operating activities$162,264 $205,311 $353,322 $411,938 Adjusted Free Cash Flow$55,086 $130,327 $170,642 $275,122 Diluted earnings per share$0.26 $0.26 $0.41 $0.49 Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share$0.28 $0.33 $0.50 $0.59 Weighted average diluted shares outstanding 181,808,591 183,439,165 181,641,748 184,367,127 Adjusted weighted average diluted shares outstanding 181,808,591 183,439,165 181,641,748 184,367,127 Net cash provided by operating activities margin 26.5% 34.9% 30.4% 35.9%Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin (%) 9.0% 22.1% 14.7% 24.0%Return on Invested Capital 14.4% 15.2% 13.6% 14.3% Three Months EndedJune 30,Six Months EndedJune 30,(in thousands) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Modular space leasing revenue(a)$256,829 $251,374 $500,590 $497,238 Portable storage leasing revenue 74,944 79,563 147,467 156,598 VAPS and third-party leasing revenues(b) 103,386 100,030 200,521 196,369 Other leasing-related revenue(c) 14,525 11,949 26,628 27,101 Leasing revenue 449,684 442,916 875,206 877,306 Delivery and installation revenue 135,844 108,452 235,366 197,113 Total leasing and services revenue 585,528 551,368 1,110,572 1,074,419 New unit sales revenue 14,587 21,620 23,581 44,057 Rental unit sales revenue 12,036 16,095 26,626 30,158 Total revenues$612,151 $589,083 $1,160,779 $1,148,634 (a) Includes revenue from clearspan structures.(b) Includes $12.6 million and $9.5 million of service revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively and $22.8 million and $18.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.(c) Includes primarily damage billings, delinquent payment charges, and other processing fees associated with leasing arrangements, and is partially offset by write-offs of specific uncollectible lease receivables recorded as a reduction to revenue of $10.3 million and $15.1 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $23.4 million and $25.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.Capitalization and Liquidity Update1As of and for the three months ended June 30, 2026, except where noted:Net cash provided by operating activities was $162 million, resulting in $55 million of Adjusted Free Cash Flow after Net CAPEX investments.Invested $114 million of Net CAPEX, supporting both maintenance capex needs and growth in higher value products for strong ongoing large project demand.Total debt was $3,495 million and net debt was $3,477 million, representing a $27 million reduction in our total debt balance in the quarter.

Further information and reconciliations for these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP are included at the end of this press release. Information reconciling forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort and, therefore, neither the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures nor reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided.Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin, Return on Invested Capital, Net CAPEX, Net Debt, and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and, therefore, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. For reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release (except as explained below), see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in this press release.Information regarding the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and reconciling forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX to those GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort. We cannot provide the most comparable GAAP financial measures nor reconciliations of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the provision for income taxes. Preparation of such reconciliations would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income, and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort. Although we provide outlooks for Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX that we believe will be achieved, we cannot accurately predict all the components of the Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX calculations. The Company provides Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX guidance because we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX, when viewed with our results under GAAP, provides useful information for the reasons noted below.Conference Call InformationWillScot will host a conference call and webcast to discuss its second quarter 2026 results and the 2026 outlook at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, August 6, 2026.

Set forth below are definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release, reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and the reasons why we believe these measures provide useful information to investors. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of, results reported under GAAP. Our measurements of these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA MarginWe define EBITDA as net income plus net interest (income) expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Our adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”) reflects the following further adjustments to EBITDA to exclude certain non-cash items and the effect of what we consider transactions or events not related to our core business operations:Currency (gains) losses, net on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency.Restructuring costs, lease impairment expense, and other related charges associated with restructuring plans designed to streamline operations and reduce costs including employee and lease termination costs.Goodwill and other impairment charges related to non-cash costs associated with impairment charges to goodwill, other intangibles, rental fleet and property, plant and equipment.Costs to integrate acquired companies, including outside professional fees, non-capitalized costs associated with system integrations, non-lease branch and fleet relocation expenses, employee relocation and training costs, and other costs required to realize cost or revenue synergies.Transaction costs including legal and professional fees and other transaction specific related costs.Non-cash charges for stock compensation plans.Other expense, including consulting expenses related to certain one-time projects, financing costs not classified as interest expense, gains and losses on disposals of property, plant, and equipment, unrealized gains and losses on investments, costs to implement the Company’s real estate exits prior to the approval of the Network Optimization Plan, and non-equity executive transition costs.We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.We evaluate business performance utilizing Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as shown in the reconciliations below. We believe that evaluating performance excluding such items noted above is meaningful because it provides insight with respect to the intrinsic and ongoing operating results of the Company and captures the business performance, inclusive of indirect costs. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (as defined below) are useful to investors because they (i) allow investors to compare performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from operating results the impact of items that do not reflect core operating performance; (ii) are used by our board of directors and management to assess our performance; (iii) may, subject to certain limitations, enable investors to compare the performance of the Company to its competitors; (iv) provide additional tools for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends; and (v) align with definitions in our ABL Facility.The following table provides reconciliations of net income to Adjusted EBITDA: Three Months EndedJune 30,Six Months EndedJune 30,(in thousands)2026 2025 2026 2025Net income$46,973 $47,939 $75,096 $90,994Income tax expense 17,042 19,984 31,975 37,894Interest expense, net 53,479 58,977 107,086 117,446Depreciation and amortization 95,259 112,632 187,690 209,724Currency losses (gains), net 246 (79) 417 144Restructuring costs, lease impairment expense and other related charges 5,482 205 16,755 907Integration and transaction costs 13 1,511 79 1,772Stock compensation expense 7,895 8,373 15,002 16,714Other(a) 1,495 (629) 4,798 2,103Adjusted EBITDA$227,884 $248,913 $438,898 $477,698 (a) For the six months ended June 30, 2026, other included $1.8 million in non-equity executive transition costs.The following table provides comparisons of Adjusted EBITDA Margin to Gross Profit Margin: Three Months EndedJune 30,Six Months EndedJune 30,(in thousands) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Adjusted EBITDA (A)$227,884 $248,913 $438,898 $477,698 Revenue (B)$612,151 $589,083 $1,160,779 $1,148,634 Adjusted EBITDA Margin (A/B) 37.2% 42.3% 37.8% 41.6%Gross profit (C)$306,264 $296,070 $591,939 $596,436 Gross Profit Margin (C/B) 50.0% 50.3% 51.0% 51.9% Net Debt and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA RatioNet Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is defined as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA from the last twelve months.

The calculation of Adjusted Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding includes shares related to stock awards that are dilutive for Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share are important measures that allow investors to evaluate performance between periods on a more comparable basis and provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and operational strength of our business.The following table provides reconciliations of Net income to Adjusted Net Income, Diluted earnings per share to Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and weighted average diluted shares outstanding to Adjusted Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding: Three Months EndedJune 30,Six Months EndedJune 30,(in thousands, except share and per share amounts) 2026 2025 2026 2025 Net income$46,973 $47,939 $75,096 $90,994 Restructuring costs, lease impairment expense and other related charges, net 5,482 205 16,755 907 Depreciation expense related to real estate exits — 15,527 (171) 19,303 Equity-based executive transition costs — — 220 — Integration and transaction costs 13 1,511 79 1,772 Other1 995 (629) 4,298 2,103 Estimated tax impact2 (1,752) (4,154) (5,719) (6,021)Adjusted Net Income$51,711 $60,399 $90,558 $109,058 Diluted earnings per share$0.26 $0.26 $0.41 $0.49 Restructuring costs, lease impairment expense and other related charges, net 0.02 — 0.10 — Depreciation expense related to real estate exits — 0.08 — 0.11 Integration and transaction costs — 0.01 — 0.01 Other1 0.01 — 0.02 0.01 Estimated tax impact2 (0.01) (0.02) (0.03) (0.03)Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share$0.28 $0.33 $0.50 $0.59 Weighted average diluted shares outstanding 181,808,591 183,439,165 181,641,748 184,367,127 Adjusted Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding 181,808,591 183,439,165 181,641,748 184,367,127 (1) For the six months ended June 30, 2026, other included $1.8 million in non-equity executive transition costs.(2) We include estimated taxes at our current statutory tax rate of approximately 27% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and approximately 25% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow MarginWe define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities; less purchases of rental equipment and property, plant and equipment and plus proceeds from sale of rental equipment and property, plant and equipment, which are all included in cash flows from investing activities; and excluding payments for and proceeds from the implementation of the Network Optimization Plan and real estate exits prior to the approval of the Network Optimization Plan and payments for executive transition costs. Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin is defined as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by Revenue.

Management believes that the presentation of Return on Invested Capital provides useful information regarding the long-term health and profitability of the business relative to the Company’s cost of capital. We define Adjusted earnings before interest and amortization as Adjusted EBITDA (see reconciliation above) reduced by depreciation and estimated taxes. We include estimated taxes at our current statutory tax rate.Average Invested Capital is calculated as an average of Net Assets, a four quarter average for annual metrics and two quarter average for quarterly metrics. Net assets is defined for purposes of the calculation below as total assets less goodwill, intangible assets, net, and all non-interest bearing liabilities.The following table provides reconciliations of Return on Invested Capital, which has been adjusted to reflect depreciation related to real estate exits prior to initiating our Network Optimization Plan.
