Custom Truck One Source, Inc. (NYSE: CTOS) is a key player in providing specialty equipment for industries like electric utility, telecom, and rail. On March 10, 2026, CTOS reported its Q4 and full-year 2025 earnings. For the quarter ending December 2025, CTOS reported revenue of $528.18 million, a 1.4% increase from the previous year. However, this figure fell short of consensus estimates (approximately $581–$584 million), resulting in a negative surprise of about 9%.
Despite this, the company's earnings per share (EPS) improved to $0.09 from $0.04 a year ago, beating consensus estimates of around $0.07. CTOS achieved a record full-year revenue of $1.944 billion, reflecting a 7.9% increase compared to 2024. The company also reported an 18% growth in Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter and a 13% increase for the entire year (Adjusted EBITDA reached approximately $384 million for the year). However, quarterly net income decreased to $20.9 million from $27.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, indicating some financial pressures.
CTOS maintains a relatively low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.17, indicating a manageable level of debt compared to its equity. The current ratio of 1.33 suggests reasonable short-term liquidity to cover current liabilities. Overall, the results showed record annual performance with strong Adjusted EBITDA growth and positive EPS momentum, despite the Q4 revenue miss, setting the stage for continued focus on growth and deleveraging in 2026 per company guidance.
