Asia FX moves little with focus on US-China trade, dollar steadies ahead of CPI
NEW YORK - Custom Truck One Source, Inc. (NYSE:CTOS) reported fourth quarter earnings that beat expectations but revenue that fell short, while providing upbeat guidance for 2025. The company’s shares initially edged down 0.49% following the release, but are up 9.9% in aftermarket trading at 4:30 P.M. ET.
The specialty equipment provider posted Q4 adjusted earnings per share of $0.12, surpassing the analyst estimate of $0.04. However, revenue came in at $520.7 million, below the consensus forecast of $543.32 million.
For the full year 2024, Custom Truck One Source recorded revenue of $1.8 billion, down 3.4% compared to 2023. The company reported a net loss of $28.7 million for 2024, versus net income of $50.7 million in the prior year.
Looking ahead, the company provided an optimistic outlook for fiscal 2025, projecting revenue between $1.97 billion and $2.06 billion. This guidance range sits above the current analyst consensus of $1.86 billion.
"We are optimistic about fiscal 2025 and believe CTOS is well-positioned to benefit from secular tailwinds driven by data center investments, manufacturing onshoring, electrification, and utility grid upgrades," said Ryan McMonagle, Chief Executive Officer of CTOS.
The company noted improvements in its core transmission and distribution markets in the fourth quarter, which led to increases in rental revenue and rental asset sales within its Equipment Rental Solutions segment. Custom Truck One Source ended 2024 with total original equipment cost of $1.52 billion, the highest in its history.
