RB Global, Inc. (NYSE: RBA) reported fourth‑quarter and full‑year 2025 financial results that exceeded analyst expectations. Total revenue reached $1.20 billion, up 10% from $1.10 billion in Q4 2024 and 7% from $1.12 billion in the full year 2024. Diluted earnings per share were $0.53, while the adjusted diluted EPS of $1.11 represented a beat of $0.12, or 12.7%, over the consensus estimate of $0.99.
Service revenue grew 5% to $917.5 million, driven by a higher average take rate and increased gross transaction value, while inventory sales revenue rose 7% to $285.9 million, largely supported by stronger performance in the commercial construction & transportation (CC&T) sector.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $379.6 million, up 10% from $345.5 million in Q4 2024, and $1.399 billion for the year, a 7% increase from $1.312 billion in 2024. The adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 8.9% from 8.4% year‑over‑year, reflecting improved pricing power and operational leverage as the company scales its omnichannel marketplace.
Management guided for 2026 gross transaction value growth of 5%–8% and adjusted EBITDA of $1.47 billion to $1.53 billion, a midpoint of $1.50 billion that represents roughly 7% growth from the 2025 adjusted EBITDA. The guidance signals confidence in continued market share gains and the effectiveness of the company’s transformation initiatives.
CEO James Kessler said, "I am incredibly proud of what the RB Global team achieved in 2025. This year, we advanced our strategic priorities, enhanced our operating model, and delivered meaningful value for our customers, partners and shareholders." CFO Eric Guerin added, "We expect full‑year gross transaction value to grow between 5% and 8%, as we expect to continue to gain market share in 2026 across our sectors. We expect full‑year Adjusted EBITDA between $1.47 billion-$1.53 billion, representing approximately 7% growth at the midpoint."
Analysts noted the earnings beat and the robust guidance, citing the company’s disciplined cost management and successful execution of its technology and partner expansion strategy as key drivers of the positive results.
While the company faced headwinds such as lower net income due to one‑time tax and interest adjustments, the overall trajectory remains upward. The combination of higher take rates, increased GTV, and strategic long‑term agreements positions RB Global to sustain margin expansion and capture additional market share in both automotive salvage and commercial construction & transportation segments.
