Forward Guidance

Custom Truck One Source is updating its full-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2024, expecting near-term pressure in demand in the utility market and reaffirming its target to generate more than $100 million of levered free cash flow.

Positive Outlook

  • Supply chain improvements

Challenges Ahead

  • ERS segment will continue to experience near-term pressure in demand in the utility market as a result of financing, supply chain, and regulatory factors affecting the timing of job starts.
  • Headwinds in our utility end markets are driving lower OEC on rent in our core ERS segment.
  • Lowering consolidated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the year.
  • Expect could persist through the balance of the fiscal year.
  • Net leverage that decreases from current levels to less than 3.5 times by the end of the fiscal year.
