Total revenues exhibit a significant long-term upward trajectory, growing from 1,734 million USD in March 2018 to 3,296 million USD by December 2022. While a temporary contraction occurred during the second quarter of 2020, where revenues dipped to 1,939 million USD, a robust recovery followed, leading to record highs in the latter half of 2022.

Revenue Stream Composition
Equipment rentals serve as the primary growth engine, increasing from 1,459 million USD in March 2018 to 2,747 million USD in December 2022. Sales of rental equipment show higher volatility, peaking in December 2022 at 409 million USD. Conversely, sales of new equipment experienced a gradual decline, starting at 42 million USD in March 2018 and ending at 39 million USD in December 2022, with a notable downward trend throughout 2022.
Gross Profitability and Cost Management
Gross profit expanded from 646 million USD in March 2018 to 1,488 million USD in December 2022. This growth was supported by a steady increase in rental revenues that outpaced the rise in the cost of equipment rentals. Depreciation of rental equipment remained a substantial and relatively consistent expense, though it trended upward from 322 million USD to 491 million USD over the analyzed period, reflecting an expanding asset base.
Operating Performance
Operating income demonstrates a strong positive trend, reaching 1,024 million USD in December 2022, compared to 340 million USD in March 2018. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased in absolute terms from 232 million USD to 378 million USD, but these costs grew at a slower rate than gross profit, indicating improved operating leverage. Merger-related costs and restructuring charges were most prominent between late 2018 and early 2020, becoming negligible in later periods.
Net Income and Financial Obligations
Net income grew substantially from 183 million USD in March 2018 to 639 million USD in December 2022. A notable anomaly occurred in September 2020, where interest expense spiked to 278 million USD, significantly impacting the income before taxes for that quarter. However, the subsequent years show a stabilization of interest expenses and a sharp acceleration in net income, particularly in 2022, where quarterly figures consistently exceeded 600 million USD.
