Simon Meester: Thanks, Derek, and good morning. I would like to welcome everyone to our earnings call and appreciate your interest in Terex. Last week, we concluded our merger with Rev Group, a defining milestone in Terex's transformation. With this combination, we've created a leading specialty equipment manufacturer with premium brands across multiple industries, with a strong manufacturing footprint, a leading technology play, and clear tangible synergies across the portfolio. What began with our 2024 acquisition of ESG, which delivered value immediately, is now being amplified by bringing Terex and Rev together, creating greater scale and an even more resilient new company. Rev generated approximately $2.5 billion of revenue and $230 million of adjusted EBITDA in its recently completed fiscal year, with the majority coming from essential low-cyclical end markets.

Speaker #3: And good morning. I would like to welcome everyone to our Earnings Call and appreciate your interest in TEREX. Last week, we concluded our merger with RevGroup for defining milestone in TEREX's transformation.

Speaker #3: Rev generated approximately $2.5 billion of revenue and $230 million of adjusted EBITDA in its recently completed fiscal year. With the majority coming from essential low-cyclical end markets, beyond strengthening the predictability of our growing earnings and free cash flow, the merger also reduces our overall capital intensity giving us greater flexibility to create additional shareholder value.

Simon Meester: Beyond strengthening the predictability of our growing earnings and free cash flow, the merger also reduces our overall capital intensity, giving us greater flexibility to create additional shareholder value. I want to thank both the Terex and REV teams for their tireless efforts to close this transaction ahead of schedule. It's only been a few days since closing, but the teams are already working hand in hand to execute our integration and synergy plans. We completed the ESG integration in Q3 of 2025 and captured synergies ahead of expectations. We're using the same integration playbook for the merger with REV. The integration will be straightforward. REV's businesses are joining Terex as a standalone operating segment, with no organizational changes outside our corporate functions.

Speaker #3: The integration will be straightforward. Rev's businesses are joining TEREX as a standalone operating segment with no organizational changes outside our corporate functions. Our new specialty vehicle segment will include emergency vehicles and will continue to be led by Mike Vernick and recreational vehicles, which will continue to be led by Gary Gunter.

Simon Meester: Our new specialty vehicle segment will include emergency vehicles and will continue to be led by Mike Virnig, and recreational vehicles, which will continue to be led by Gary Gunter. Both Mike and Gary bring deep REV experience, assuring continuity while driving further improvements. We expect to deliver roughly half of the $75 million run rate synergies within the next 12 months and the full amount by 2028. Most early savings will come from eliminating duplicate corporate costs, but the synergy potential goes much deeper. Over the last 16 months, we have reshaped the Terex portfolio, creating what I believe is the most intrinsically synergistic, resilient, and competitive portfolio in our history. We now have significant scale in specialty vehicles that share similar operational and go-to-market characteristics. This creates not only near-term efficiencies but also meaningful opportunities for operational improvement and long-term growth across Terex.

Simon Meester: With regard to the strategic review of the Aerials business, which we announced during our last call, we have been receiving strong inbound interest from a number of interested parties. We're being deliberate in our evaluation of the interest and the best approach to maximize shareholder value. Turning to slide 4. Combining with Rev significantly shifts our end market exposure. We now serve a large, diverse, addressable market with stable, attractive growth profiles. Customers across these verticals value lifecycle services, creating sizable opportunities to expand our aftermarket and digital offerings. Emergency vehicles benefit from stable and growing municipal budgets tied to maintaining required response times among the growing population. In waste and recycling, growth is fueled by population and recycling trends coupled with ongoing fleet replacements. Customers also accelerate upgrades to unlock the value of new vehicle innovations and digital solutions, where we are the clear industry leader.

In construction, we continue to see robust infrastructure activities supported by government funding. The pipeline of megaprojects continues to expand, providing a tailwind through at least 2030. We're seeing momentum building in Europe, and strong growth continues in the Middle East and India, where MP already has a solid foundation. Let's move to a summary of our financial results on slide 5 before handing it over to Jen to go into more detail.

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Following the close of REV transaction last week, our 2026 outlook reflects the newly bought companies, including 11 months of REV, with positive momentum from strong Q4 bookings and backlog in every segment. We expect 2026 sales to grow approximately 5% on a pro forma basis to $7.5 to $8.1 billion. We further expect pro forma EBITDA to grow by approximately $100 million, or 12% year-over-year, to between $930 million and $1 billion, or 12.4% EBITDA margin at the meet point. Our EBITDA outlook includes approximately $28 million of synergies for 2026, in line with our goal to achieve $75 million of run rate synergies within two years. We anticipate interest and other expenses to be approximately $190 million, consistent with pro forma 2025, based on average debt outstanding of about $2.7 billion. The effective tax rate is expected to be higher at 21%, driven by higher US.

Speaker #2: We anticipate interest and other expenses to be approximately 190 million , consistent with pro forma 2025 based on average debt outstanding of about 2.7 billion .

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Dollars income. As expected, the merger has a modest 3% diluted effect on EPS in 2026 due to a higher number of shares outstanding post-merger. We expect 2026 EPS between $4.50 and $5, with a share count of 111 million shares, as compared to a legacy Terex range of $4.80 to $5.20. For modeling purposes, approximately 15% of our full-year EPS is expected in Q1, as it will only include two months of specialty vehicles earnings and seasonally lower volume in legacy Terex. We expect 2026 cash conversion of between 80% and 90% of net income, including transaction costs and costs to achieve synergies. Our net leverage is expected to improve over the course of the year.

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Looking at our segments, we expect Environmental Solutions to grow mid-single digits in 2026, led by utilities, where we continue to see strong demand for bucket trucks and digger derricks used in the electric power market. We are currently anticipating roughly flat sales in ESG, with upside potential in the second half as we get more clarity on fleet requirements and EPA emission regulations for a second-half prebuy. We continue to see growth in our market-leading digital solutions in the waste sector and expanding into utilities and concrete. We will explore opportunities to extend this technology into emergency vehicles during integration. ES achieved strong profitability in 2025, and we anticipate similar full-year margins in 2026 as synergy executions and productivity offset the unfavorable mix from higher utilities growth.

Speaker #2: Looking at our segments, we expect Environment Solutions to grow and show double-digit growth in 2026, led by Utilities, where we continue to see strong demand for bucket trucks and bigger batteries used in the electric power market.

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Turning to MP, we expect the segment to inflect back to full-year growth in the high single digit range in 2026 on a pro forma basis, excluding Queensland. Fleet utilizations and aging equipment resulted in strong bookings in aggregate, handling, and environmental. We also expect margins to improve in 2026 due to higher volume, productivity, and pricing action. Our new specialty vehicle segment enters 2026 with roughly two years of backlog. We expect sales growth of high single digits from a comparable pro forma prior year total of $2.2 billion, excluding the divested lines and meatless RV businesses. We also expect meaningful margin improvement in ASV compared to the prior year period, EBITDA margin of approximately 12.5% on a pro forma basis due to higher throughput, price, and ongoing operational improvements. Finally, in aerials, we anticipate 2026 sales and margins to be similar to 2025.

Speaker #2: Turning to MP , we expect the segment to inflect back to full year growth in the high single digit range in 2026 . On a pro forma basis , excluding claims , fleet utilization and aging equipment resulted in strong bookings and aggregate handling and environmental .

Speaker #2: We also expect margins to improve in 2026 due to higher volumes, productivity, and pricing actions. Our Youth Facility Vehicle segment enters 2026 with roughly two years of backlog.

Speaker #2: We expect sales growth of high single digit from a comparable pro forma prior year . Total of 2.2 billion , excluding divested lines Midwest and RV businesses .

Speaker #2: We also expect meaningful margin improvement in ASP compared to the prior year period . EBITA margin of approximately 12.5% on a pro forma basis , due to higher throughput price and ongoing operational improvements .

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: We have good visibility heading into 2026 with $906 million backlog following strong Q4 bookings. Overall, I'm very excited about our opportunity to grow and continue to improve the financial performance of our new company in 2026. Turning to slide 13. In 2025, we maintain our commitment to invest in our businesses to fuel organic growth, with over $118 million in capital expenditures targeted at automation, innovation, throughput, and efficiency improvements, among other growth accelerants. As expected, we returned $98 million to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks last year. We purposefully structured the merger to maintain a strong balance sheet and flexible capital structure to enable organic investments and lower net leverage. That said, we have not assumed any significant debt repayments as they do not mature until 2029. Please turn to slide 14, and I'll turn it back to Simon.

Derek Everitt: Thanks, Jen. 2025 was a consequential year in the long history of Terex. We successfully completed the integration of ESG, navigated multiple macro and market headwinds, and ultimately delivered on our original 2025 guidance. We also announced and have now completed our merger with REV. With this merger, we have created a leading specialty equipment manufacturer with a highly complementary and synergistic portfolio, serving a diverse set of attractive, resilient, and growing end markets. Our focus has already shifted to executing the REV integration, capturing at least $75 million of synergies, and delivering on the commitments we've made across each of our segments. I'm excited about the road ahead, and I know our team is energized as we continue to build the new Terex together. And with that, I would like to open it up for questions. Operator?

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Great. Thank you. Good morning. The first question. The MP segment, and you highlighted strength in aggregates and material handling within the order comments, which if sustained would or should be good in terms of product mix. I'm curious on the pricing side and kind of your visibility in terms of what you have in the backlog. With respect to crushing and screening being an important piece there, some of your larger international competitors are facing some sizable tariff headwinds in North America. So maybe you can just talk about what you're seeing and your expectations just around that pricing tailwind that you highlighted in the fourth quarter, how that's kind of influencing your outlook for 2026.

Tim Thein: Great. Thank you. Good morning. The first question. The MP segment, and you highlighted strength in aggregates and material handling within the order comments, which if sustained would or should be good in terms of product mix.

Speaker #5: Great . Thank you . Good morning . First question , the MP segment and you highlighted strength in aggregates in material handling within the order comments , if if sustained would or be good in terms of should should product mix .

Speaker #5: I'm curious on the pricing side and kind of your what your visibility in terms of what you have in the backlog with respect to crushing and screening .

Speaker #5: Being an important piece . There . your Some of your larger international competitors are facing , some sizable tariff headwinds . And in North America .

Speaker #5: So maybe you can just talk about what you're seeing and your expectations . Just around , you know that that pricing tailwind that you highlighted in the fourth quarter , how that's kind of influencing your outlook for for 26 , hey .

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Hey, Tim. Good morning. This is Jen. So the pricing, as you know, we do not disclose specifically on the segment basis, but you could see that we have a progressive step up in our margin profile in Q4 versus Q3 for MP, and a large portion of that is driven by price going through the P&L. We expect that with the strong backlog that we ended in December, that to flow through, and it progressively step up again throughout the year for 2026 by quarter.

Speaker #2: Tim , good morning . This is Jan . So the pricing we as you know we do not disclose specifically on the segment basis .

Speaker #2: But you could see that we have a progressive step up in our margin profile in Q4 versus Q3 for MP and a of that is driven by large portion price going through the PNL .

Speaker #2: We expect that with this strong backlog that we ended in December , to flow that through , and it progressively step up again in throughout the year for 2026 , by quarter .

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Okay. Good. And Jen, I apologize if I missed it, but with Aerials specifically, kind of the interplay with tariffs and how you're expecting price cost to play out just more broadly for Aerials in 2026. I'm guessing it's more of a second-half story, but maybe you can just comment on that. And again, apologies if I missed that. Thank you.

Simon Meester: Okay. Good. And Jen, I apologize if I missed it, but with Aerials specifically, kind of the interplay with tariffs and how you're expecting price cost to play out just more broadly for Aerials in 2026. I'm guessing it's more of a second-half story, but maybe you can just comment on that. And again, apologies if I missed that. Thank you.

Speaker #5: Okay , good . And I apologize if I missed it , but with with Ariel specifically that kind of the interplay with tariffs and how your your expecting price cost to play out just more broadly for aerials in 26 .

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Right. So the areas in the prepared remarks, we say that we're expecting kind of flat revenue and also kind of flat margin profile. We expect that in 2026, that we have more headwinds in the hours given that the tariff is going to be 12 months of impact versus about approximately 6 months of impact in 2025. That translates, rounding on a number standpoint, about $16 million more, and we're offsetting that to productivity and price for a net impact of flat throughout the year. In first-half year, we expect that the price cost neutrality to be more skewed to the second half of the year, but at the end of the year, we're going to be flat, holding our margin with a flat top line.

Speaker #5: I'm guessing it's more of a second half story, but maybe you can just comment on that. And again, apologies if I missed that.

Speaker #5: Thank you .

Speaker #2: Right . So the the remarks prepared , we say that we're expecting kind of flat revenue and also kind of flat margin profile .

Speaker #2: We expect that in 2026 that we have more headwinds . In the hours . Given that the tariffs is going to be 12 months of impact versus about approximately six months of impact in 2025 , that translates rounding on a on a number standpoint , about 60 million more .

Speaker #2: And we're offsetting that few productivity and price for a net impact of flat throughout the year . And first half year . We expect that that's the price cost neutrality to be more skewed towards the second half of the year .

Derek Everitt: A little less favorable in the first half, a little bit more favorable in the second half.

Simon Meester: A little less favorable in the first half, a little bit more favorable in the second half.

Speaker #2: But at the end of the year , we're going to be flat holding our margins with a flat top .

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Got it. Thank you.

Tim Thein: Got it. Thank you.

Speaker #3: Line a little less half , a little bit more favorable in the second half .

Derek Everitt: Thanks, Tim.

Simon Meester: Thanks, Tim.

Simon Meester: Your next question comes from the line of Jerry Revich with Wells Fargo. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Jerry Revich with Wells Fargo. Please go ahead.

Speaker #5: Thank you. Got it.

Speaker #4: Thanks .

Jerry Revich: Yes. Hi. Good morning, everyone.

Speaker #4: Your , Tim . next question comes from the line of Revich Jerry with Wells Fargo . Please go ahead .

Derek Everitt: Hey. Good morning.

Simon Meester: Hey. Good morning.

Jerry Revich: Simon? Hi. Simon? I'm wondering if we could just talk about the REV integration. So I saw the divestiture. The business has been operating really well in terms of driving higher efficiency rates. Can you just talk about the plan for the business from here relative to what we heard from the REV team maybe 6 to 9 months ago, and any update on order cadence, and expectations for bookings as well? It sounds like there's more opportunity from a manufacturing standpoint, but I'm wondering if you could just expand on that, please.

Speaker #6: Yes . Hi . Good morning everyone .

Speaker #3: Hey . morning .

Speaker #6: Simon . Hi , Simon . I'm wondering if you could just talk about the Rev integration . So I saw the divestiture . business The has been operating really well in terms of driving higher efficiency rates .

Speaker #6: Can talk you just about the plan for the business from here relative to what we heard from the Rev team ? Maybe 6 to 9 months ago , and any update on order , cadence and expectations for bookings as well ?

Derek Everitt: Yeah. No. Thanks for the question. So it's been 9 days now since we closed, so we're very excited. Yeah. Obviously, it's mostly a throughput story because, again, going into 2026, our specialty vehicle segment, legacy REV, if you will, still operates with about a 2-year backlog, and they did report relatively strong bookings again in their last fiscal quarter. So it's mostly just to make sure that we keep burning that backlog down as much as we can. So it's going to be all about throughput. Now, there's obviously price in that backlog, so it's going to be a combination of price and volume that's going to drive the margin improvement in 2026. But it's mostly just making sure we keep that operational momentum.

Simon Meester: Yeah. No. Thanks for the question. So it's been 9 days now since we closed, so we're very excited. Yeah. Obviously, it's mostly a throughput story because, again, going into 2026, our specialty vehicle segment, legacy REV, if you will, still operates with about a 2-year backlog, and they did report relatively strong bookings again in their last fiscal quarter. So it's mostly just to make sure that we keep burning that backlog down as much as we can. So it's going to be all about throughput. Now, there's obviously price in that backlog, so it's going to be a combination of price and volume that's going to drive the margin improvement in 2026. But it's mostly just making sure we keep that operational momentum.

Speaker #6: It sounds like there’s more opportunity from a manufacturing standpoint, but I’m wondering if you could just expand on that, please?

Speaker #3: Yeah , no , thanks for the question . So it's been it's been nine days now since we closed . So we're very excited .

Speaker #3: We . Yeah , obviously it's mostly a throughput story because again , going into 2026 , our specialty vehicle segment , legacy revenue will now still operates with about a two year backlog .

Speaker #3: And they did report relatively strong bookings again in their last fiscal quarter . So it's mostly just to make we sure that we keep burning that backlog down as much as we can .

Speaker #3: So, it's going to be all about throughput. Now, there's obviously pricing in that backlog. So, it's going to be a combination of price and volume that's going to drive the margin improvement in 2026.

Derek Everitt: That's why we were so eager on making sure that we keep the organization intact and that we can just purely focus on making sure we keep that momentum going into 2026.

Simon Meester: That's why we were so eager on making sure that we keep the organization intact and that we can just purely focus on making sure we keep that momentum going into 2026.

Speaker #3: But it's mostly just making sure we keep that operational momentum . And that's why we were so eager on making sure we , that you know , keep the we keep the organization intact and that we we can just purely focus on making sure we keep that momentum going into 2026 .

Jerry Revich: Okay. Super. And separately, ESG is pleasantly surprised with the bookings, it sounds like, within the high part of the portfolio are more resilient than what I would have thought three months ago given what the waste companies have been talking about. Truck plants, can you just expand on what you're seeing? Is that the impact of the EPA '27 certainty or just if you wouldn't mind just double-clicking on the really good performance within Heil?

Speaker #6: Super and separately in ESG , it was pleasantly surprised with the bookings . It sounds like within the how part of the portfolio are more resilient than what I would have thought three months ago , given what the waste companies have been talking about .

Speaker #6: Truck plants . Can you just expand on what you're seeing ? Is that the impact of the EPA 27 certainty or just if you wouldn't mind just double clicking on the really good within performance pile ?

Derek Everitt: Yeah. Obviously, I would say the segment, the Environmental Solutions segment, recorded outstanding performance in 2025, and a lot of that was driven by Heil, by ESG. But also, we saw synergies kicking in with utilities, so we saw the utilities business stepping up as well. But ESG was leading the charge, if you will, in terms of top-line. And now in 2026, we see that kind of flipping, so utilities is now accelerating a little bit more than ESG. We're expecting ESG to be kind of flattish from a top-line perspective, and most of the growth coming from utilities. But yeah, we feel that that segment has a lot of momentum. We don't see that slowing down anytime soon, so we're very pleased with how ES is performing.

Simon Meester: Yeah. Obviously, I would say the segment, the Environmental Solutions segment, recorded outstanding performance in 2025, and a lot of that was driven by Heil, by ESG. But also, we saw synergies kicking in with utilities, so we saw the utilities business stepping up as well. But ESG was leading the charge, if you will, in terms of top-line.

We don't see that slowing down anytime soon, so we're very pleased with how ES is performing.

Speaker #3: Yeah , obviously , I would say segment , the the environmental solution segment recorded outstanding performance in 2025 . And a lot of that was driven by by higher by ESG .

Speaker #3: But also we saw synergies kicking in with utilities . So we saw the utilities business stepping up as well . But you know EC was leading the charge , if you will , in terms of top line .

Speaker #3: And now in 2026 , we see that kind of utilities is now accelerating a little bit more than ESG . We're we're expecting ESG to be kind of flattish from a top line perspective .

Speaker #3: And most of the growth coming from coming from utilities . But yeah , we're we we feel that that segment has a has a lot of momentum .

Speaker #3: We don't see that slowing down any time soon . So we're very pleased with our is is performing

Jerry Revich: Thank you.

Simon Meester: Your next question comes from the line of Angel Castillo with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Angel Castillo with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.

Speaker #6: you Thank .

Angel Castillo: Good morning, and thanks for taking my question. Just wanted to unpack a little bit more on the aerial side too. You had a very strong quarter for bookings there, and you talked about replacement demand from the rental customers. Can you just talk a little bit more what you're hearing from the customer base broadly in this space? And I think one of your competitors talked about a little bit of pull forward potentially into the fourth quarter. Did you see any of that, or how are you seeing, in particular, maybe orders in January and February kind of following that stronger fourth quarter and continuing that?

Speaker #4: Your next question comes from the line of Angel Castillo with Morgan Stanley . go Please ahead .

Speaker #7: morning and Good thanks for taking my question . Just wanted to unpack a little bit more on the aerial side . So you had a very strong quarter for bookings there .

Speaker #7: And you talked about replacement demand from rental customers. Can you just talk a little bit more about what you're hearing from the customer base broadly in this space?

Speaker #7: And I think one of your competitors talked about a little bit of pull forward potentially into the fourth quarter . Did you see any of that or how are you seeing in particular maybe orders in in January and February , kind of , you know , following that , that stronger fourth quarter and continuing that ?

Derek Everitt: Yeah. If you look at last year, we had strong book-to-bill in both Q4 and Q1. I think average both quarters was about 150. This year, Q4 coming in over 200%. We expect Q1 to be somewhat north of 100%, but it's probably fair to assume that both quarters will average again at about 150% book-to-bill. So that kind of sets our guidance being flat because we expect Q1 to be a little softer than Q1 of last year, still north of 100%. But overall, yeah, going into the year with 5, 6 months of coverage obviously gives us a good forward visibility. But the reality is most of the demand is still just coming from mega projects, coming from the nationals.

Simon Meester: Yeah. If you look at last year, we had strong book-to-bill in both Q4 and Q1. I think average both quarters was about 150. This year, Q4 coming in over 200%. We expect Q1 to be somewhat north of 100%, but it's probably fair to assume that both quarters will average again at about 150% book-to-bill. So that kind of sets our guidance being flat because we expect Q1 to be a little softer than Q1 of last year, still north of 100%. But overall, yeah, going into the year with 5, 6 months of coverage obviously gives us a good forward visibility. But the reality is most of the demand is still just coming from mega projects, coming from the nationals.

Speaker #3: Yeah , if you look at our at if you look last year , we had strong book to bill in both Q4 and Q1 , I think average in both quarters was about 150 .

Speaker #3: This this year , Q4 coming in over 200% . We expect Q1 to be somewhat north of 100% , but it's probably fair to assume that both quarter will average again about 150% book to bill .

Speaker #3: So that kind of sets our guidance being flat , because we expect Q1 to be a little softer than Q1 of last year .

Speaker #3: Still north of 100% , but overall , yeah , going into the year with five six months of of coverage is obviously us gives a good forward .

Speaker #3: Good forward visibility . But the reality is the most of demand is still just coming from mega-projects , coming from the nationals . Europe is picking up a little .

Derek Everitt: Europe is picking up a little bit, not that material, but we haven't baked any major recovery with the independents into our guide for 2026. We expect that to happen more in 2027.

Simon Meester: Europe is picking up a little bit, not that material, but we haven't baked any major recovery with the independents into our guide for 2026. We expect that to happen more in 2027.

Speaker #3: Not not that material , but we haven't baked any major recovery with the independents into our into our guide for 2026 . We expect that to happen more in 2027 .

Angel Castillo: That's very helpful. Thank you. And then could we just unpack a little bit more just on the commentaries around ES? I think if you could talk about the backlog there as well. It sounds like utilities is seeing a nice uplift. So just the shape of that into next year, and then if you could, I guess, Jen, if you could just unpack the margin dynamic a little bit. It sounds like utilities should be a positive for margins, a nice tailwind there. And you expect, I think, if I heard correctly, ESG flattish, but it sounds like there's some factors maybe weighing on that margin and keeping the full segment more flattish for the full year. So if you could just unpack the puts and takes and maybe talk about it on a quarterly basis, that'd be helpful.

Speaker #7: That's very helpful . Thank you . And then could we just unpack a little bit more just on the around commentaries ES ? I think if you could talk about the backlog there as well , it sounds like utilities is seeing a nice uplift .

Speaker #7: So just the shape of that into next year . And then if you could I guess , Jen , if unpack you could just the margin dynamic a little bit , it sounds like utilities should be a positive for , for margins , a nice tailwind .

Speaker #7: There . And you expect , I think if I heard correctly , ESG flattish , but it sounds like there's some factors maybe weighing on that on that margin and keeping the full segment more flattish for for the full year .

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Good morning. So I'll take the margin question, and then I'll let Simon take the backlog question. So you're right. For the margin, when we said in the prepared remarks that the margin is flattish, I'm referring to percentage-wise, and value-wise is still increasing. So the higher top-line growth coming from utilities will drive an unfavorable mix. However, it's being offset by the synergies flowing through in the ES reportable segment and also driven by the productivity that they have been working through. In 2025, we communicated that the utilities division within the ES segment has demonstrated progressive growth in the margin profile. We expect that to continue into 2026 as the team actually relayout the Waukesha factory and also looking at standardization.

Speaker #7: So if you could just unpack the puts and takes and maybe talk about on a quarterly basis , that'd be helpful .

Speaker #2: Good morning . So I'll take the margin question and then I'll let Simon to take the backlog question . You're for the right margin .

Speaker #2: When we say in the prepared remarks that the margin is flattish, we're referring to it percentage-wise. In value terms, it's still increasing.

Speaker #2: So the higher top line growth coming from utilities will drive an unfavorable mix . However , it's being offset by the synergies flowing reportable in the through segment and also driven by the productivity that they have been working to the in 2025 .

Speaker #2: We communicated that the utilities division within the segment has demonstrated progressive growth in the margin profile . We expect that to continue into 2026 as the team actually lay out the Waukesha factory and also looking at standardization .

Derek Everitt: Yeah. Then on the backlog, so yeah, ESG did an outstanding job in 2025 leading the industry, quite frankly, in terms of throughput and reducing lead times. And so going into 2026, we see lead times now kind of have normalized in ESG. So we're back to kind of pre-COVID levels, backlog coverage, so three, four months forward visibility. We didn't put any EPA prebuys into our outlook for ESG, and that's why we're kind of holding them flat. And utilities is actually the backlog continues to increase, hence the reason we're expanding our capacity in that particular segment, which is already ramping up as we speak. So we're expecting to add about 20% to 30% capacity in utilities just to keep up with the rising demand.

Simon Meester: Yeah. Then on the backlog, so yeah, ESG did an outstanding job in 2025 leading the industry, quite frankly, in terms of throughput and reducing lead times. And so going into 2026, we see lead times now kind of have normalized in ESG. So we're back to kind of pre-COVID levels, backlog coverage, so three, four months forward visibility. We didn't put any EPA prebuys into our outlook for ESG, and that's why we're kind of holding them flat. And utilities is actually the backlog continues to increase, hence the reason we're expanding our capacity in that particular segment, which is already ramping up as we speak. So we're expecting to add about 20% to 30% capacity in utilities just to keep up with the rising demand.

Speaker #3: Yeah . And then on the on the backlog . So , yeah , ESG did did an outstanding job in 2025 leading the industry , quite frankly , in terms of throughput and and reducing lead times .

Speaker #3: And so going into 2026 , we see lead times . Now kind of have normalized in ESG . So we have we're back kind to of pre-COVID levels , backlog coverage .

Speaker #3: So four months forward three visibility . We put any didn't EPA prebys into our outlook for ESG . And that's why we're kind of holding them flat .

Speaker #3: And and utilities is actually the backlog continues to increase . Hence the reason we're expanding our capacity in that particular segment , which is already ramping up as we speak .

Speaker #3: So, we're expecting to add about 20% to 30% capacity in utilities just to keep up with the rising demand.

Angel Castillo: Very helpful. Thank you.

Simon Meester: Your next question comes from the line of Jamie Cook with Truist Securities. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Jamie Cook with Truist Securities. Please go ahead.

Speaker #7: helpful . Thank Very you .

Jamie Cook: Hi. Good morning. I guess two questions. First, Simon, on the specialty business or REV Group, it sounds like the backdrop for 2026 is good with the extended visibility backlog two years out. I'm just wondering if there's, obviously, it's a new acquisition. So to what degree is there conservatism in your forecast for specialty? And if there was, what would that come from? Is it just getting more burning through more backlog? So just sort of your assumptions around there where there would be upside. And then my second question just on Aerials, understanding you can't say that much, but it seems like the backdrop for selling that business is probably better versus when you initially announced it with a view that aerial markets have clearly bottomed, potentially positive upside surprise.

Speaker #4: Your next question comes from the line of Jamie Cook with Truist Securities . Please go ahead .

Speaker #8: Hi . Good morning . I guess two questions . First , Simon , on the specialty business or Rev Group , it sounds like the backdrop for 2026 is good .

Speaker #8: You know , with the extended visibility backlog two years out . I'm just wondering if there's you know , obviously it's a new it's a new acquisition .

Speaker #8: So to what there degree is in your conservatism forecast for specialty . And if there was what would that come from ? Is it just getting more burning through more backlog ?

Speaker #8: You know , so just sort of your assumptions , you know , around there where there would be upside and then my second question just on Ariel's understanding , you can't say that much , but it seems like the backdrop for selling that business is probably better versus when you initially announced it with a view that aerial markets have clearly bottomed .

Jamie Cook: So anything you can tell us, is that asset more interesting to people just because it sounds like we should be getting some cyclical tailwinds? Thank you.

Speaker #8: Potentially , you know , positive upside , surprise . So anything you can tell us is that asset more interesting to people just because it sounds like we should be getting some cyclical tailwinds ?

Derek Everitt: Yeah. Thanks for the question. So on specialty vehicles, yeah, there's obviously a lot going on. The team is working flat out to make sure that we can actually start bringing the backlog down a little bit. So where we see any upside, I mean, the team actually performed really strongly year-over-year, 2025 to 2024. We just want to make sure that we maintain that operational momentum. So I don't know if there's any particular upside I can call out. I'm very comfortable with the guide that we have laid out, and it comes down to execution. On aerials, yeah, I mean, we've set this in October. We believe it's a well-known asset. We believe it's well-documented how that business performs through the cycle. It's a very strong brand celebrating 60-year anniversary this year at ARA, which we're looking forward to.

Simon Meester: Yeah. Thanks for the question. So on specialty vehicles, yeah, there's obviously a lot going on. The team is working flat out to make sure that we can actually start bringing the backlog down a little bit. So where we see any upside, I mean, the team actually performed really strongly year-over-year, 2025 to 2024. We just want to make sure that we maintain that operational momentum. So I don't know if there's any particular upside I can call out. I'm very comfortable with the guide that we have laid out, and it comes down to execution. On aerials, yeah, I mean, we've set this in October. We believe it's a well-known asset. We believe it's well-documented how that business performs through the cycle. It's a very strong brand celebrating 60-year anniversary this year at ARA, which we're looking forward to.

Speaker #8: Thank you .

Speaker #3: Yeah . Thanks for the question . So on on specialty vehicles . Yeah there's obviously a lot going on . The team is working .

Speaker #3: Flat out to make that sure we can actually start bringing the backlog down a little bit . So I where we see where any upside I mean , the team actually performed really strongly year over year 2025 to 2024 .

Speaker #3: We just want to make sure that we we maintain that that operational momentum . So I don't know if there's any particular upside I can call out .

Speaker #3: I'm very comfortable with the guide that we that we have laid out . And , you know , now it's it comes down to execution on Ariel's .

Speaker #3: Yeah . I mean , we've said this in in October . We believe it's a well known asset . We believe it's well documented how that how that business performs through the cycle .

Speaker #3: It's a very strong brand . You know , celebrating 60 year anniversary this year at Ara , which we're looking forward to . I can obviously not disclose too much because it's an active process .

Derek Everitt: I can obviously not disclose too much because it's an active process, but yeah, we were very pleased with the inbound interest that we received, and we're going to be very deliberate in evaluating the interest and decide on the best approach for our shareholders going forward.

Simon Meester: I can obviously not disclose too much because it's an active process, but yeah, we were very pleased with the inbound interest that we received, and we're going to be very deliberate in evaluating the interest and decide on the best approach for our shareholders going forward.

Speaker #3: But yeah , we were we were very pleased with the the inbound interest that we that received . And we're going to be very deliberate in evaluating the interest and decide on the best approach for our shareholders forward .

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Jamie, if I could just add, in the new reportable segment of SV, the incremental margin on the higher volume is going to be in that range of 30% as a gauge with the highest in Q2 and Q3 and tapering down to Q4 due to seasonally lower revenue due to the weather. So I think while we have baked in a very strong margin profile that's supporting our $100 million of EBITDA margin expansions in the midpoint of our range.

Speaker #3: going

Speaker #2: And as Jamie , if I could just add in the our new reportable segment of SB , the margin incremental on the higher volume is going that range of 30% as a gauge with a higher in Q2 and Q3 , and tapering down into Q4 due to seasonally lower revenue due to the weather .

Speaker #2: So I think while we have baked in very strong margin profile , that's supporting our 100 million of EBITDA margin expansion in the midpoint of our range .

Jamie Cook: Thank you very much.

Derek Everitt: Thank you, Jamie.

Simon Meester: Thank you, Jamie.

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: You're welcome.

Simon Meester: Your next question comes from the line of David Raso with Evercore ISI. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of David Raso with Evercore ISI. Please go ahead.

Speaker #8: Thank you very much .

Speaker #9: Thank you .

Angel Castillo: Hi. Thank you. First, on the dilution, a little bit less than I think the street was thinking. And I've still noticed the share count seemed to be a little bit lower when you said 111 for the year. Maybe I missed it. Is there some share repo in that number? Just trying to get the math from, and I was just doing the basic conversion of the roughly 49.3 million shares that REV Group had. Even the interest expense, a little bit lower than I would have thought. So I'm just trying to understand exactly the dilution being only about $0.25.

David Raso: Hi. Thank you. First, on the dilution, a little bit less than I think the street was thinking. And I've still noticed the share count seemed to be a little bit lower when you said 111 for the year. Maybe I missed it. Is there some share repo in that number? Just trying to get the math from, and I was just doing the basic conversion of the roughly 49.3 million shares that REV Group had. Even the interest expense, a little bit lower than I would have thought. So I'm just trying to understand exactly the dilution being only about $0.25.

Speaker #4: Your next question comes from the line of David Rizzo with Evercore ISI. Please go ahead.

Speaker #10: Hi . Thank you . First , on the dilution a little bit less street was think the than I thinking . And I noticed the share count seemed to be a little bit lower when you said year .

Speaker #10: 111 for the Is there . Maybe I missed it . Is there some share repo in that number ? Just trying to get the math you .

Speaker #10: from I was just doing the basic conversion of the of the roughly 49.3 million shares that Rev Group had . Even the interest expense a little bit , a little bit lower than I would have thought .

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Hey, David. Good morning. So I think the two parts of your question. The first one, in terms of the 111 million share count, that's because we only acquired, that's a weighted average number and because we only issued them in February. So that equates to 111 million, but full year is that 115 million. I think that's maybe where you're looking at. Second question, in terms of the dilution, yes. In fact, during the merger, we have alluded to the fact that it's going to be a net single digit of EPS dilution given that the share count, the higher share count, cannot be fully offset by the 11 months of REV earnings. So that translates to be about 3% just for share count alone and then 2% based on a higher tax rate. So that's where we are.

Speaker #10: So I'm trying to understand exactly the dilution thing , only about $0.25 .

Speaker #2: Hey , David , good morning . So the I think the two part of your question , the first one , in terms of the $111 million of share count , that's because we only acquired that's a weighted average number .

Speaker #2: And because we only issued them in February . So that equates to 111 million , but full year is 115 million . I think that's maybe where you're looking at the second question , in terms of the dilution , yes .

Speaker #2: In fact , during the merger , I was we have alluded to that it's single the fact going to be a neat digit of EPs dilution , given that the share count , the higher share count cannot be fully offset by the 11 months of RAF earnings so that translates to about be about 3% .

Speaker #2: Just for share count loans . And then 2% based on the higher tax rate . So that's where we are .

Angel Castillo: Oh, that's helpful. Yeah. I read the slide on 12 as the share count 111 was for the full year, not just for the quarter. Okay.

David Raso: Oh, that's helpful. Yeah. I read the slide on 12 as the share count 111 was for the full year, not just for the quarter. Okay.

Speaker #10: Oh that's Yeah I , I helpful . read the slide on 12 as the share count . 111 was for the full year .

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Yeah. That's weighted average for the full year. Correct.

Angel Castillo: The one sorry, the 111 or the 115, just to be clear?

David Raso: The one sorry, the 111 or the 115, just to be clear?

Speaker #10: Not not just for the quarter okay .

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: The 115.

Speaker #9: That's that's weighted average for the full year . All right .

Angel Castillo: Full year.

David Raso: Full year.

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: I'm sorry. 111 is the weighted average for the full year.

Speaker #10: The one the one sorry . The 111 or the 115 . Just to be clear .

Angel Castillo: Okay. The proceeds from an Aerials sale, just curious now that you're a little bit further in the process, you own REV Group, the merger is done. You've obviously been able to move forward with some of the divestiture of a piece of the RV business. Given where the state of the portfolio is, we can debate the right multiple you could get maybe for Aerials. But when you think of the proceeds for that sale, whatever it may be, can you give us a little more clarity how you're thinking about that now?

David Raso: Okay. The proceeds from an Aerials sale, just curious now that you're a little bit further in the process, you own REV Group, the merger is done. You've obviously been able to move forward with some of the divestiture of a piece of the RV business. Given where the state of the portfolio is, we can debate the right multiple you could get maybe for Aerials. But when you think of the proceeds for that sale, whatever it may be, can you give us a little more clarity how you're thinking about that now?

Speaker #9: The .

Speaker #2: 115 I'm sorry . 111 is the weighted average for the full year .

Speaker #10: Okay . The proceeds from an aerial sale . Just curious , now that you're , you know , a little bit further in the process , your own rev group , the merger is done .

Speaker #10: You've obviously been able to move forward with some of the piece divestiture of the the RV business , given state of the portfolio is .

Speaker #10: We can debate the the write multiple you could get maybe for aerials . But when you think of the proceeds for that sale , whatever it may be , can you give us a little more thinking about that now ?

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Yeah. So right now, on day nine of our close, the immediate priority is to strengthen the balance sheet to preserve the flexibility given that we funded this merger through both shares and cash. It's right now still too early to tell, depending when we actually find a strategic option for Aerials and where we're trading in terms of the share price. But we will have several options, including a return value to the shareholders through the share buyback. We could do an early debt paydown to strengthen our balance sheet, reduce interest, and further improve our leverage, or we reinvest in our business, especially in Utilities and Specialty Vehicles that's going supported by the circular tailwind. But at this point, I think it's still too early to tell.

Speaker #2: Yeah . So , you know , right now on day one , on day nine of our clothes , the immediate priority is to strengthen the balance sheet , to preserve the flexibility , given that we find that this merger , through both shares and cash , it's right now still too early to tell , depending , you know , when we actually find a strategic option for aerials and when where we're trading in terms of the share price .

Speaker #2: But we will have several options , including , you know , a return value to the shareholders through the share buyback . We could do an early debt paydown to strengthen our balance sheet , reduce interest and further improve our leverage , or we reinvest in our business , especially in utilities and specialty vehicles .

Derek Everitt: Yeah. We really like the optionality that is ahead of us here, but our immediate focus, as you will appreciate, is on integrating REV, focusing on execution, focusing on delivering on our earnings, and the cash conversion. And then we really like the optionality that's at the end of the road here.

Simon Meester: Yeah. We really like the optionality that is ahead of us here, but our immediate focus, as you will appreciate, is on integrating REV, focusing on execution, focusing on delivering on our earnings, and the cash conversion. And then we really like the optionality that's at the end of the road here.

Speaker #2: That's supported by the secular tailwinds. But at this point, I think it's still too early to tell.

Speaker #3: We really like the optionality that is ahead of us here . But our immediate focus , as you will appreciate , is on integrating Rev , focusing on execution , focusing on on delivering on our earnings and the cash conversion .

Angel Castillo: I appreciate it. Thank you.

David Raso: I appreciate it. Thank you.

Derek Everitt: Thanks, David.

Simon Meester: Thanks, David.

Speaker #3: And then we really like the optionality that's at the end of the road here .

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Thank you.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Mig Dobre. Is it there? Please go ahead.

Speaker #10: I appreciate it. Thank you.

Speaker #3: Thanks , David .

Speaker #1: Thank you .

Angel Castillo: Yes. Thank you for taking the question. Good morning. Sticking with specialty vehicles here, I guess a couple of questions. First, how are you thinking about the recreation component of this business longer term? You're obviously in portfolio adjustment mode, which is why I'm asking. And when we're kind of thinking about the moving pieces to margin here, if I heard you correctly, embedded in your guidance about 12.5% operating margin. How do you view the longer-term potential here if we're thinking two to three years out?

Mircea Dobre: Yes. Thank you for taking the question. Good morning. Sticking with specialty vehicles here, I guess a couple of questions.

Speaker #7: First , how are you thinking about the recreation component of this business longer term , you're obviously in portfolio adjustment mode , which is why I'm asking when And we're kind of thinking about the moving pieces to margin here , if I heard you correctly embedded in your guidance , about 12.5% operating margin , how do you view the longer term potential here ?

Derek Everitt: Yeah. Thanks, Mig. I'll take the first one, and Jen, maybe you can weigh in on the second question. So on the RV business, yeah, first of all, the announcement that was sent out yesterday on Midwest, that process was already ongoing before we closed the merger. So don't read too much into that, that we are in portfolio adjustment mode. I would actually say we are in integration mode. We are much more focused on what's right in front of us, and that is making sure that we integrate the two companies, that we build our synergy pipeline, that we focus on execution of the four segments that we now own. And that's really our most immediate focus.

Simon Meester: Yeah. Thanks, Mig. I'll take the first one, and Jen, maybe you can weigh in on the second question. So on the RV business, yeah, first of all, the announcement that was sent out yesterday on Midwest, that process was already ongoing before we closed the merger. So don't read too much into that, that we are in portfolio adjustment mode. I would actually say we are in integration mode.

And that's really our most immediate focus.

Speaker #7: If we're thinking 2 to 3 years out ?

Speaker #3: Yeah . Thanks , Nick . I'll take the first one again . Maybe you can weigh in on this second question . So on the business .

Speaker #3: Yeah . First of all , the announcement that was sent out yesterday on Midwest , that process was already was already ongoing before we closed the merger .

Speaker #3: So don't read too much into that that we are in portfolio adjustment mode . I would actually say we are an integration mode .

Speaker #3: We are much more focused on what's right in front of us , and that is making sure that we integrate the two companies that we build our synergy pipeline , that we focus on execution of the four segments that we now own .

Derek Everitt: And now, going into 2027 or beyond, I can't say we won't continue to make some adjustments to our portfolio, but what's right in front of us is integrating REV and executing. Do you want to take the margin question?

Simon Meester: And now, going into 2027 or beyond, I can't say we won't continue to make some adjustments to our portfolio, but what's right in front of us is integrating REV and executing. Do you want to take the margin question?

Speaker #3: And that's really our most immediate focus now going into 2027 or beyond , I can't say we won't be continue to make some adjustments to our portfolio , but what's right in front of us is integrating Rev and and executing .

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Mig, I think your question on the EBITDA for 12.5%. You're referencing the new reportable SV segment, and that is without metals and lines, and that was last year on a pro forma basis, 11 months. As you know, you're very familiar with REV. They have publicly disclosed a 2027 target at the enterprise level ranging for that 280 basis point margin improvement from 2025 to 2027. And at this point, we see that they're at the top end of the range and heading towards that direction. So I think for modeling purposes, you could model that out over the next two years. But they are in line with what they have communicated in their last December 2024 investor day, but at the top end of the range.

Speaker #3: You want to take the margin .

Speaker #2: And make I think your question on the EV for 12.5% , you're referencing to the new reportable SB segment , and that is without meet with and launch .

Speaker #2: And that was last year on a pro forma basis , 11 months . As you know , you're very familiar with Ralph . They have publicly disclosed a 2027 target at the enterprise level , ranging for that 280 basis point margin improvement from And 2025 to 2027 .

Speaker #2: at this point , we see at the that they're top end of the range and towards that direction . So I think for modeling purpose , you could do , you know , model that out over the next few years .

Speaker #2: But they are in line with what they have communicated in their last December 2020 , Investor Day . But at the top end of the range .

Angel Castillo: That's helpful. Thank you. Lastly, you gave us some context on tariffs, which is good, but I'm wondering more broadly from a price-cost standpoint, how are you thinking about 2026 and what's embedded in here? Steel has gone up quite a bit of late, and maybe you can comment on any hedges or the cadence of price-cost as the year progresses.

Mircea Dobre: That's helpful. Thank you. Lastly, you gave us some context on tariffs, which is good, but I'm wondering more broadly from a price-cost standpoint, how are you thinking about 2026 and what's embedded in here? Steel has gone up quite a bit of late, and maybe you can comment on any hedges or the cadence of price-cost as the year progresses.

Speaker #7: That's helpful . Thank you . Lastly , you gave us some context on tariffs , which is which is good . But I'm wondering more broadly from a price cost standpoint , how are you thinking about 2026 and what's embedded in here .

Speaker #7: Steel has gone up quite a bit of late . And maybe you can comment on any hedges or the cadence of price cost as the year progresses .

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Right. So in terms of steel, we do not import raw steel, and 70% of what we use is in HRC. You're right, Mig, that the steel price has increased as expected as vendors try to sell from the US. We will continue to monitor that closely and execute our hedging contracts. So right now, we have our Q1 and Q2 of our HRC steel consumption hedge at a favorable rate of 10% to 15% lower than the forward price. And any of the imported steel on fabricated parts is already part of our $130 million of tariffs that we've baked into our guide of this $4.50 to $5. And that includes REV.

Speaker #1: Right . So the .

Speaker #2: In terms of skill , you know , we do not import raw steel and 70% of what we use is an HRC . You're right .

Speaker #2: Make that you know , the steel price has increased as expected vendors try to as soften the US . We will continue to monitor that closely .

Speaker #2: And execute our hedging contracts . So right now we have our Q1 and Q2 of our HRC . Still consumption hedge at a favorable rate of 10 to 15% , lower than the forward price .

Speaker #2: And any of the imported steel on fabricated parts is really part of our $130 million of tariffs that we bake into our guide of this $50 to $55, and that includes revenue.

Angel Castillo: Thank you.

Mircea Dobre: Thank you.

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: You're welcome.

Simon Meester: Your next question comes from the line of Steven Fisher with UBS. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Steven Fisher with UBS. Please go ahead.

Speaker #7: Thank you .

Speaker #1: You're welcome .

Jamie Cook: Hey. Good morning. Thanks for taking the question. So in terms of the capacity increases within Environmental Solutions, how much are you expanding capacity? When are you expecting those to come online? How's that split between two businesses in the segment? Just any kind of color you can give there.

Steven Fisher: Hey. Good morning. Thanks for taking the question. So in terms of the capacity increases within Environmental Solutions, how much are you expanding capacity? When are you expecting those to come online? How's that split between two businesses in the segment? Just any kind of color you can give there.

Speaker #4: Your next question comes from the line of Avi Jaroszewicz with UBS . Please go ahead .

Speaker #11: Hey, good morning. Thanks for taking my question. So, in the capacity increases within Environmental Solutions, are you—how much are you expanding capacity?

Speaker #11: When are you expecting those to come How's online ? that split between two businesses in the segment ? Just any kind of color .

Derek Everitt: Yeah. We're expanding capacity in our utilities business, not in ESG per se. We're ramping up our facility in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and we're adding about 20% to 30% capacity over the next two years. And some of that, roughly half of that, maybe slightly less than half of that, will come online in 2026. Sorry, I forgot. What was the second part of your question?

Simon Meester: Yeah. We're expanding capacity in our utilities business, not in ESG per se. We're ramping up our facility in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and we're adding about 20% to 30% capacity over the next two years. And some of that, roughly half of that, maybe slightly less than half of that, will come online in 2026. Sorry, I forgot. What was the second part of your question?

Speaker #11: There ?

Speaker #3: Yeah , we're expanding capacity in our utilities business , not in not not in ESG per se . We're ramping up our facility in Waukesha , Wisconsin , and we're adding about 20 to 30% capacity over the next two years .

Speaker #3: And some of that , roughly half of that will maybe slightly less than half of that will come online in 2026 . And sorry , I forgot .

Jamie Cook: Yeah. It was really, how is it split, and what is the overall capacity increase that you're thinking of?

Steven Fisher: Yeah. It was really, how is it split, and what is the overall capacity increase that you're thinking of?

Speaker #3: What was the second part of your question?

Speaker #11: Yeah , it was really how you know , how is it split ? And you know , what is the overall capacity increase that you're thinking of ?

Derek Everitt: Yeah. So utilities is the smaller segment within Environmental Solutions, and we're adding about 20% to 30% over the next 2 years in utilities. And the reason we feel that that's a justified investment is because I mentioned in my prepared remarks that we expect CapEx to grow 8% to 15% for the next 5 years in utilities just by the nature of upgrading the grid. And obviously, we sell and make products that will help upgrade the grid. So we expect that that market will be quite bullish for us for the next 3 to 5 years.

Simon Meester: Yeah. So utilities is the smaller segment within Environmental Solutions, and we're adding about 20% to 30% over the next 2 years in utilities. And the reason we feel that that's a justified investment is because I mentioned in my prepared remarks that we expect CapEx to grow 8% to 15% for the next 5 years in utilities just by the nature of upgrading the grid. And obviously, we sell and make products that will help upgrade the grid. So we expect that that market will be quite bullish for us for the next 3 to 5 years.

Speaker #3: Yeah . So it's it's utilities is the smaller segment within environmental solutions . And and we're adding about 20 to 30% over the next two years in utilities .

Speaker #3: And the reason we feel that that's a just a justified investment is because I mentioned in my prepared remarks that we expect CapEx to grow 8 to 15% for the next five years in utilities , just by the nature of upgrading the grid .

Speaker #3: And and obviously , we we sell and make products that will help upgrade the grid . So we expect that that market will be quite bullish for us for the next 3 to 5 years .

Jamie Cook: Makes sense. And then I guess in the second, I think you had said last year that you were looking at about $25 million of synergies from Environmental Solutions by the end of 2026. So just kind of curious where you are on that progress and if that $25 million-plus number is still how you're thinking about it for the exit rate for this year.

Steven Fisher: Makes sense. And then I guess in the second, I think you had said last year that you were looking at about $25 million of synergies from Environmental Solutions by the end of 2026. So just kind of curious where you are on that progress and if that $25 million-plus number is still how you're thinking about it for the exit rate for this year.

Speaker #11: Makes sense. And then, I guess in the second— I think you had said last year that you were looking at about $25 million of synergies from Environmental Solutions.

Speaker #11: By the end of 2020 . So just kind of curious where you are on that progress and if that $25 million plus number is still how you're thinking about it , for the exit rate for this year .

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: Yes. Hi. Good morning. Yes. We actually exited our first year of integrations above that $25 million of run rate synergies. That's the reason why that even with the higher utilities growth in 2026, that cost and expense mix in terms of the margin, we're still able to hold the margin percentage due to the synergies dropping into 2026 within the Environmental Solutions segment.

Speaker #1: Yes .

Speaker #2: Good

Speaker #2: morning . Hi . Yes , we actually exited our first year of integration above that $25 million of run rate synergies . That's the reason why that even with the higher utilities growth in 2026 , that costs and unfavorable mix in terms of the margin , we're still able to hold the margin percentage due to the synergies dropping through into 2026 within the environmental solutions segment .

Jamie Cook: All right. Got it. Great. Thank you.

Steven Fisher: All right. Got it. Great. Thank you.

Jennifer Kong-Picarello: You're welcome.

Derek Everitt: Thanks.

Simon Meester: Thanks.

Simon Meester: Your next question comes from the line of Kyle Menges with Citigroup. Please go ahead.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Kyle Menges with Citigroup. Please go ahead.

Speaker #11: All right . Got it . Thank you Great . .

Speaker #1: You're welcome . Thanks .

Kyle Menges: Great. Thanks for taking the question and congrats on closing the REV-G deal. I did want to just double-click on the ESG guidance a little bit. I mean, talking about flat guide, and I was thinking maybe that would imply that the OE sales portion of that could be down a little bit this year. So I'm curious just what should give investors confidence that this might just be a blip here in 2026 versus maybe the first year of a softening of this rep use recycling cycle?

Speaker #4: question comes Your next from the line of Kyle Mangus with Citigroup . Please go ahead .

Speaker #7: Great . Thanks for taking my question and congrats on closing the deal . I did want to just double click on the ESG guidance a little bit .

Speaker #7: I mean , talking about flat guide . And I was thinking maybe that would imply that the OE sales portion of that could be down a little this year .

Speaker #7: I'm bit what should give curious just So investors confidence that this might just be a blip here in 2026 versus maybe the first year of a softening of this refuse recycling cycle ?

Derek Everitt: Yeah. Just so we're aligned here, we're guiding mid-single-digit growth for the Environmental Solutions as a whole, and then ESG within that Environmental Solutions, we're guiding flat for 2026, excluding potential pre-buys in the second half of 2026 that would be upside to the guide. So yeah, we see that end market as fairly non-cyclical. We don't see any kind of; we actually see continued growth going into 2030. The only reason we see ESG within Environmental Solutions kind of slowing down the growth rate a little bit is just because we're caught up on lead times. We're now back to largely being a book-to-build business, which is where we were before COVID. So we don't take that as a leading indicator that the business might be peaking. It's quite the contrary.

Simon Meester: Yeah. Just so we're aligned here, we're guiding mid-single-digit growth for the Environmental Solutions as a whole, and then ESG within that Environmental Solutions, we're guiding flat for 2026, excluding potential pre-buys in the second half of 2026 that would be upside to the guide.

We're now back to largely being a book-to-build business, which is where we were before COVID. So we don't take that as a leading indicator that the business might be peaking. It's quite the contrary.

Speaker #3: Yeah , just just so we're we're aligned here . We're we're guiding mid-single digit growth for the environmental solutions as a whole . And then ESG within that environmental solution where guiding flat for 2026 , excluding potential pre buys in the second half of 2026 , that would be upside to the guide .

Speaker #3: So yeah , we don't we see that that end market as fairly non-cyclical . We don't see any kind of we actually see continued growth going into 2030 .

Speaker #3: The only reason we we see ESG within environmental solutions kind of slowing down the growth rate a little bit is just because we're caught up on lead times .

Speaker #3: We're now back to largely being a book to bill business , which which is where we were before Covid . So we don't take that as a leading indicator that the business might be peaking .

Derek Everitt: We think that that business has a lot of upside and for more reasons than just GDP growth. There's also fleet modernization going on. There is all sorts of new technology going into that space. So we see multiple angles for growth in that segment.

Simon Meester: We think that that business has a lot of upside and for more reasons than just GDP growth. There's also fleet modernization going on. There is all sorts of new technology going into that space. So we see multiple angles for growth in that segment.

Speaker #3: It's quite the contrary . We think that that business has a lot of upside . And for for more reasons than , than , than just GDP growth , there's also fleet modernization going on .

Speaker #3: There is all sorts of new technology going into that space . So we see multiple angles for growth in that segment .

Kyle Menges: Great. And then just a couple of questions on aerials. Sounds like you're planning some pricing for 2026. Just would be good to hear how those negotiations have gone as you're entering 2026 with the customers. And then just a quick one, just anything to call out in your mix in 2026 versus 2025 as far as nationals versus independents? Thank you.

Speaker #7: Great . And then just a couple questions on aerials . It sounds like you're planning some pricing for 26 just would would be good to hear how how those negotiations have gone as you're entering 26 with the customers .

Speaker #7: And then just a quick one just anything to call out . your And 26 versus 25 . As far as nationals versus independents .

Derek Everitt: Yeah. So for 2026, we continue to see most demand coming from replacement in North America and in Europe, and mostly from the mega projects. We did not bake in any kind of meaningful recovery in local private construction spend in 2026. We see that more happening in 2027. Fleet utilization is up year over year. Our national customers are quite bullish for the next couple of years because of the mega projects alone, but the real uplift for this segment will come when local and private construction comes back up. And we see that happening in 2027 and not in 2026. So that's why the guide is kind of a little bit of moving sideways here because of the private construction spend not picking up until 2027.

Simon Meester: Yeah. So for 2026, we continue to see most demand coming from replacement in North America and in Europe, and mostly from the mega projects. We did not bake in any kind of meaningful recovery in local private construction spend in 2026. We see that more happening in 2027. Fleet utilization is up year over year. Our national customers are quite bullish for the next couple of years because of the mega projects alone, but the real uplift for this segment will come when local and private construction comes back up. And we see that happening in 2027 and not in 2026. So that's why the guide is kind of a little bit of moving sideways here because of the private construction spend not picking up until 2027.

Speaker #7: Thank you .

Speaker #1: Yeah .

Speaker #3: So for 2026 we we we continue to see most demand coming from in North America . And in , in Europe . And mostly from the mega projects .

Speaker #3: We do not . We did not make in any kind of meaningful recovery in , in local private construction spend in 2026 . We see that more happening in 2027 .

Speaker #3: Fleet utilization is up year over year . Our our national customers are are are are quite bullish for the next couple of years because of the mega projects alone .

Speaker #3: But the real uplift for the for this segment will come when and private local back up comes construction and we see that happening in 2027 .

Speaker #3: Another 2026 . So that's why the guide is kind of a little bit of moving sideways here . Because because of the private construction spent not not picking up until 2027 .

Derek Everitt: Morning.

Simon Meester: Morning.

Angel Castillo: Simon, on slide 4 in the emergency vehicle section, there's a note that says there's a mandated replacement cycle. What category of vehicles is that, and what percentage of the fleet turns over annually because of mandates?

Steve Barger: Simon, on slide 4 in the emergency vehicle section, there's a note that says there's a mandated replacement cycle. What category of vehicles is that, and what percentage of the fleet turns over annually because of mandates?

Speaker #12: Thanks . Good morning .

Speaker #1: Good morning .

Speaker #12: Simon . On slide four in the emergency vehicle section , there's a note that says there's a mandated replacement cycle . What category of vehicles is that and what percentage of the fleet turns over annually because of mandates ?

Derek Everitt: That's a good catch. I think that it's every 10 years. I think you're talking refuse.

Simon Meester: That's a good catch. I think that it's every 10 years. I think you're talking refuse.

Speaker #3: I that's a good catch . I think that is that every ten years I think you're talking refuse .

Angel Castillo: It says emergency vehicles.

Steve Barger: It says emergency vehicles.

Derek Everitt: Emergency vehicles. Let me just look that up on slide 4 in the footnotes.

Simon Meester: Emergency vehicles. Let me just look that up on slide 4 in the footnotes.

Speaker #12: Does emergency vehicles .

Speaker #3: Emergency vehicles. Let me just look that up for slide four in the footnotes.

Angel Castillo: Let me get back there. Yeah. Emergency vehicles. So the leftmost box, the second bullet, large installed base with a consistent and mandated replacement cycle?

Steve Barger: Let me get back there. Yeah. Emergency vehicles. So the leftmost box, the second bullet, large installed base with a consistent and mandated replacement cycle?

Speaker #12: In me get back there . It's . Yeah . Emergency vehicles . So the the leftmost box , the second bullet , large installed base with a mandated consistent and replacement cycle .

Derek Everitt: Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I got you now. I was looking in the footnotes. You're talking on the slide. Okay. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So obviously, fleet needs to stay fresh, and there is a mandated replacement cycle. There's not a real number tied to it per se, but yeah, within emergency vehicles, municipalities want to keep their fleet with the maximum uptime possible, and that's why they have specific kind of goals and targets around their replacement cycle. That's what that means.

Simon Meester: Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I got you now. I was looking in the footnotes. You're talking on the slide. Okay. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So obviously, fleet needs to stay fresh, and there is a mandated replacement cycle. There's not a real number tied to it per se, but yeah, within emergency vehicles, municipalities want to keep their fleet with the maximum uptime possible, and that's why they have specific kind of goals and targets around their replacement cycle. That's what that means.

Speaker #1: Oh , oh .

Speaker #3: I'm sorry , I got you now . I thought I was looking into footnotes . You're talking on the slide . Got it .

Speaker #3: Okay .

Speaker #1: Yeah .

Speaker #3: Yeah , yeah . So so obviously fleet needs to stay fresh and there is a mandated replacement cycle . There's not a real number tied to it se per , but yeah , within emergency vehicles , municipalities , you know , want to keep their their fleet with the maximum uptime possible .

Speaker #3: And that's why they have specific kind of goals and replacement targets around their cycle . that means .

Angel Castillo: Okay. And I know it's really early in owning REV, but you are maintaining leadership there. So my question is, just given the size of the backlog and where lead times in the industry are, do you see a path to accelerating production, which can result in a higher growth rate, maybe not this year, but as you look into 2027 and 2028?

Steve Barger: Okay. And I know it's really early in owning REV, but you are maintaining leadership there. So my question is, just given the size of the backlog and where lead times in the industry are, do you see a path to accelerating production, which can result in a higher growth rate, maybe not this year, but as you look into 2027 and 2028?

Speaker #12: Okay . And I know it's really early in owning Rev , but you are maintaining leadership there . So my question is just given the size of the backlog and where lead times in the industry are , do you see a path to accelerating production which can result in a higher growth rate ?

Derek Everitt: Yeah. I mean, the industry is obviously investing in adding capacity and optimizing throughput as it should because backlogs need to come down. I mean, they're at two years plus, and bookings continue to be strong. And so just to make sure that we, as an industry, keep working on bringing our backlogs down, we're investing in capacity, and so are we. There's our main location in Florida and our location in South Dakota. We're investing in capacity expansions and capacity upgrades. And so we think that kind of the sustainable target for backlog coverage is about a year, but it might take another two years or so before we get to that kind of backlog level. But yeah, bringing down the backlog is what the focus is right now, and that will lead to a year-over-year growth.

Simon Meester: Yeah. I mean, the industry is obviously investing in adding capacity and optimizing throughput as it should because backlogs need to come down. I mean, they're at two years plus, and bookings continue to be strong. And so just to make sure that we, as an industry, keep working on bringing our backlogs down, we're investing in capacity, and so are we. There's our main location in Florida and our location in South Dakota. We're investing in capacity expansions and capacity upgrades.

But yeah, bringing down the backlog is what the focus is right now, and that will lead to a year-over-year growth.

Speaker #12: Maybe not this year, but as you look into '27 and '28.

Speaker #1: Yeah .

Speaker #3: I mean, the industry is obviously investing in, in, in adding capacity and optimizing throughput, as it should, because backlogs need to come down.

Speaker #3: I mean , they're at two years plus and bookings continue to be strong . And so just to make sure that we as an industry that we keep working on bringing our backlogs down , you know , we're investing in capacity and so and so are we .

Speaker #3: There's , there's , you know , our main location in Florida and our location in South Dakota . We're investing in capacity expansions and and capacity upgrades .

Speaker #3: And so we think that the kind of the sustainable target for backlog coverage is about a year . And but it might take another two years or so before we get to that kind of backlog level .

Angel Castillo: Yeah. So right. So is it possible that business could grow in double digits, assuming orders hold up and the backlog coverage is there while you try and bring those lead times down? And again, not this year necessarily, but at some point.

Steve Barger: Yeah. So right. So is it possible that business could grow in double digits, assuming orders hold up and the backlog coverage is there while you try and bring those lead times down? And again, not this year necessarily, but at some point.

Speaker #3: But yeah , bringing down the backlog is what the focus is right now . And that will lead .

Speaker #1: To growth .

Speaker #12: , right ? So is it possible that business could grow in double digits , assuming orders hold up and the backlog coverage is there while you try and bring those lead times down ?

Derek Everitt: Yeah. For now, we are already ahead of Specialty Vehicles as a segment is already ahead of their Investor Day kind of commitment. And so we don't want to count ourselves too rich here. We're guiding high single digits, and we think that that's probably a more realistic outlook, and that's what we're guiding today.

Simon Meester: Yeah. For now, we are already ahead of Specialty Vehicles as a segment is already ahead of their Investor Day kind of commitment. And so we don't want to count ourselves too rich here. We're guiding high single digits, and we think that that's probably a more realistic outlook, and that's what we're guiding today.
