Description of Business and Basis of Preparation
Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Preparation

Significant Accounting Policies
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and entities consolidated under the interest and voting models. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Non-controlling interests are reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as a separate component of equity or within temporary equity.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosed in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting for business combinations requires estimates with respect to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Estimates of fair value require valuation methods, which rely on significant estimates and assumptions, especially for acquired intangible assets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, or upon completion of the performance obligation, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The transaction price is reduced by estimates of variable consideration, such as volume rebates and discounts.
Revenues are comprised of:
Service revenue, including:
i.Transactional seller revenues, which includes commissions and other fees earned from consignors to facilitate the sale of an asset such as inbound tow, liens search, title processing, online listing and inspection fees;
ii.Transactional buyer revenues, which includes tiered buyer transaction and other fees earned from buyers to complete the purchase of an asset, such as title processing, late pick-up, platform registration and other administrative fees; and
iii.Marketplace services revenues, which includes fees earned from various optional services provided to buyers, sellers, or other third-parties, such as transportation, buyer towing, refurbishment, financing, parts procurement, data and appraisal, and other ancillary services.
Inventory sales revenue, which consists of revenue relating to assets that are purchased by the Company and then resold.
Service Revenue
The Company offers the following types of commission arrangements to sellers:
Straight commission contracts, where the consignor receives the gross proceeds from the sale less a pre-negotiated commission rate;
Fixed fee commission contracts, where the consignor receives the gross proceeds from the sale less a fixed flat fee; and
Guarantee contracts, where the consignor receives a guaranteed minimum amount plus an additional amount if proceeds exceed a specified level.
Transactional seller and buyer revenue is recognized when a binding obligation with the buyer is created upon the final acceptance of the winning bid, and the performance obligations, including other sale related services, are satisfied at the end of the sale process. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is shown net of value-added tax and duties.
The Company generally does not pay consignors until it receives the auction proceeds from buyers, except in certain automotive arrangements where it may be required to pay the consignor even if the buyer defaults. When a buyer defaults (a collapsed sale), the sale is cancelled and the property is either returned to the consignor or resold. If the Company has already paid the consignor, the property is recorded as inventory until resold. The Company records a provision for expected collapsed or cancelled sales based on historical default experience, customer data, and reasonable forecasts.
Losses from guarantee contracts are recorded in the period in which the relevant sale is completed or accrued if they become probable and estimable.
The Company may share commissions or buyer fees with customers or third parties when selling consigned assets. In these arrangements, it must determine whether it acts as the principal and reports revenue on a gross basis or as the agent and reports revenue on a net basis. This assessment focuses on whether the Company controls the asset or service and is primarily responsible for fulfilling the sale. When buyer fees are shared with consignors, the shared amount is recorded as a reduction of revenue.
Transactional buyer revenue also includes buyer platform registration fees to access certain vehicle auction and marketplace sales for a one- or two-year term which are recognized ratably over the contract term.
Marketplace services revenue is recognized in the period in which the service is provided or control has been transferred.
Inventory Sales Revenue
Inventory sales revenue is recognized in the period in which the sale is complete and control has been transferred.
Costs of Services
Costs of services is comprised of expenses incurred in direct relation to earning service revenue. Costs of services relating to revenues generated from auction sites which conduct weekly auctions, includes full- and part-time labor, lease expense, towing, onsite customer care support, and other operating costs. Costs of services relating to revenues generated from auction sites which conduct less frequent auctions, includes direct part-time and temporary labor costs, marketing, travel, and other operating costs to support auction events. Cost of services includes the portion of commissions or fees shared with third parties where the Company is principal in the underlying transaction.
Share-based Payments
The Company uses the fair value method to account for share-based payment awards. Share-based awards granted to employees include stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”), and awards under the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) and share-based awards granted to directors include RSUs and deferred share units (“DSUs”). All awards other than DSUs are classified as equity as they are expected to be settled in shares. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period, with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital for equity awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
RSUs have service conditions and are measured at the grant-date share price, with expense recognized using the graded vesting approach. PSUs have service conditions, together with performance or market conditions. PSUs with performance conditions are measured at the grant-date share price and expensed based on the probability of achieving the conditions. PSUs with market conditions are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model and compensation cost is recognized over the service period regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately achieved.
Stock options and ESPP awards are valued using the Black-Scholes model. The ESPP is compensatory, and expense is recognized using the accelerated method. Proceeds from stock option exercises, together with the related APIC, are credited to common stock.
DSUs vest immediately, are expected to be settled in cash, and are classified as liability awards. DSUs are measured at fair value initially and remeasured each reporting date based on the Company’s closing share price, with changes recognized in compensation expense. The related liability is included in accrued liabilities.
Incremental fair value from award modifications is recognized in the period of modification. Dividend equivalents on equity-classified awards are recorded as a reduction to retained earnings when earned.
Leases
Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. The Company may have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. The Company applies a portfolio approach to account for leases of certain similar assets with similar terms. Leases with an initial term of 12-months or less are short-term in nature and not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments, initial direct costs incurred, and prepaid lease payments and exclude lease incentives. Renewal options, purchase options, and termination options are included in the determination of lease balances when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. The Company generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable.
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in costs of services and selling, general and administrative expenses. Finance lease ROU assets are generally amortized over the lease term and included in depreciation expense. The interest on finance lease liabilities is included in interest expense.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into forward currency contracts from time to time to manage exposure to foreign currency exchange gains and losses its subsidiaries are exposed to on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.
Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on derivatives not designated in a hedging relationship are recorded in net income. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative contracts are recognized separately unless they are closely related to the host contract.
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements at fair value are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement or disclosure:
Level 1: Inputs that are based upon quoted active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use to price the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
For assets and liabilities recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of each Company subsidiary is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The financial statements of foreign denominated subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the period end exchange rates for the balance sheet and monthly average exchange rate for the income statement. Translation gains and losses are included in foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income (loss), net of income tax.
Transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency with resulting gains and losses recognized in earnings, except for gains and losses arising on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature, which are included in foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss), net of income tax.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents is comprised of cash on hand, deposits with financial institutions, other short-term, liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and overdraft balances to the extent the financial institution has the legal right of offset.
Restricted cash consists of cash held in segregated accounts, used to settle auction proceeds payable, as required in certain jurisdictions and funds held in accounts to support stand-by letters of credit.
Book overdrafts represent outstanding checks and other pending disbursements in excess of cash account balances with a right of offset. Such amounts are recorded in accounts payable and are reflected as an operating activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables primarily consist of amounts due from auction buyers and sellers, advance charges paid on a consignors behalf, and the current portion of loans receivable. Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for credit losses, based on historical experience, customer economic data, and external market conditions.
Prepaid Consigned Vehicle Charges
Prepaid consigned vehicle charges consist of inbound tow, titling, and enhancement charges incurred and associated with consigned vehicles on a specific identification basis. These prepaid charges are recorded in cost of services once the associated vehicle is sold and revenue is recognized.
Inventory
Inventory is carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value, where net realizable value represents the expected sale price upon disposition of the asset inclusive of buyer fees and other fees, less make-ready costs and costs of disposal and transportation. The significant elements of cost include acquisition price, in-bound transportation costs, and make-ready costs. Inventory write-downs are included in cost of inventory sold on the consolidated income statements. Cost of inventory sold is determined on the specific identification basis.
Equity Method Investments
The Company accounts for investments which it does not control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over, by applying the equity method of accounting. The Company's share of income and losses of equity method investees and impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated income statements during the period that they are incurred. Returns of investment in excess of cumulative equity earnings are classified as cash flows from investing activities. The Company evaluates equity method investments for impairment when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the investment may be impaired. An impairment loss on an equity method investment is recognized when a decline in its value is determined to be other-than-temporary.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition or development of the asset, including the cost of materials and direct labor, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing items and restoring the site on which they are located (if applicable), and capitalized interest on qualifying assets.
Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed. Gains and losses on the disposition of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the proceeds received and the carrying amount of an asset. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment under finance leases is recorded in depreciation expense.
The method of depreciation and estimated useful lives by asset type are as follows:
Land improvements and site improvementsDeclining balance10 %
Buildings and building improvementsStraight-line
15 - 30 years
Yard, automotive and office equipmentDeclining balance
20 - 30%
Computer software and equipmentStraight-line
3 - 5 years
Leasehold improvementsStraight-lineLesser of lease term and economic life
Assets Held for Sale
The Company classifies assets or disposal groups as held for sale when management commits to a plan to sell, the assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition, the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year, the Company is actively marketing the assets at a price reasonable in relation to their current fair value, and actions required to complete the plan indicate it is unlikely the plan will change significantly.
Upon classification as held for sale, the assets, or disposal group, are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell and are not depreciated.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition or development of the asset, net of any amounts received in relation to those assets. Costs of internally developed software and technology assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Costs incurred prior to the application development stage are charged to operations as incurred. Once application development has begun, directly attributable costs are capitalized until the software and technology assets are available for use.
Amortization is recognized in earnings on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The amortization periods of finite-lived intangible assets are re-evaluated periodically when facts and circumstances indicate that the remaining useful lives may have changed. Indefinite-lived trade names and trademarks are not amortized. The estimated useful lives of the Company's intangible assets by asset type are as follows:
Trade names and trademarks
2 - 15 years or indefinite-lived
Customer relationships
6 - 20 years
Software and technology assets
3 - 7 years
Cloud Computing Arrangements
The Company defers costs incurred to implement cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts hosted by third-party vendors within other current assets and other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Once implementation of the cloud computing arrangement is complete, the costs are amortized to selling, general and administrative expense over the expected term of the associated hosting arrangement on a straight-line basis, taking into account renewal options which are reasonably certain to be exercised.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The recoverability assessment is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, and is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually as of December 31, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an asset’s fair value exceeds its carrying amount. If a quantitative test is necessary, the estimated fair value is compared to carrying amount and any excess carrying amount is recognized as an impairment loss, if applicable.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of its identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment at the reporting unit level as of December 31, and more frequently if indicators of potential impairment are identified. The Company performs a qualitative impairment assessment if it determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If a quantitative impairment test is required, the reporting unit’s fair value is compared to its carrying amount including goodwill and if the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized, if applicable.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs represent the unamortized debt issuance costs incurred on the issuance of the Company’s long-term debt and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the lives of the related long-term debt. Deferred financing costs are presented as a reduction in the carrying amount of the related long-term debt or in other non-current assets. Deferred financing costs presented in other non-current assets relate to the Company's revolving credit facilities. The Company expenses the portion of deferred financing costs associated with partial repayments of debt to interest expense.
Redeemable Non-controlling Interest
Redeemable non-controlling interest is classified as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheets, as the holder may put its interest to the Company. Redeemable non-controlling interest is initially carried at its acquisition date fair value. The Company evaluates redeemable non‑controlling interest at the end of each reporting period to determine whether redemption is probable. If it becomes probable of redemption, the Company adjusts the carrying amount to its estimated redemption value at the end of each reporting period, with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings.
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
Redeemable convertible preferred stock is classified as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheet as it could become redeemable due to a change in control, which would be outside of the Company’s control. The redeemable convertible preferred stock is initially carried at fair value, and if redemption becomes probable, the Company will adjust the carrying amount to its estimated redemption value at the end of each reporting period, with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings. Direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with issuance are recorded as a reduction in the initial carrying amount.
Defined Contribution Plans
Certain employees of the Company are members of retirement benefit plans to which the Company matches up to a specified percentage of employee contributions or, in certain jurisdictions, contributes a specified percentage of payroll costs as mandated by the local authorities. The only obligation of the Company with respect to these plans is to make specified contributions. Contributions are charged to the consolidated income statements reflecting the period of the employee's service.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in both costs of services and selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated income statements. Advertising expense recorded in costs of services was $9.6 million, $10.6 million, and $9.4 million for 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Advertising expense recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses was $21.1 million, $24.6 million, and $26.1 million for 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Self-insurance Reserves
The Company self-insures a portion of employee medical benefits, as well as a portion of its automobile, general liability and workers’ compensation claims. The Company has insurance coverage that limits the exposure on individual claims. The cost of the insurance is expensed over the contract periods. Utilizing historical claims experience, the Company records an accrual for the claims related to its employee medical benefits, automobile, general liability and workers’ compensation claims based upon the expected amount of all such claims, which includes the cost of claims that have been incurred but not reported.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The purchase price is determined based on the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities assumed, and equity interests issued, after considering any transactions that are separate from the business combination and which are accounted for separately. The Company allocates the aggregate of the fair value of the purchase consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition with any excess recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation may be provisional during a one year measurement period. Any measurement period adjustments are recognized in the period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included within acquisition-related and integration costs.
Where acquired assets and liabilities do not meet the definition of a business, or substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the acquisition is considered an asset acquisition, and is accounted for using the cost accumulation model where the cost of the acquisition, including certain transaction costs, are allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of relative fair values.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on temporary differences, which are differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and non-capital loss, capital loss, and tax credits carryforwards, measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply when these differences reverse. Deferred tax benefits, including non-capital loss, capital loss, and tax credits carryforwards, are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is considered more likely than not. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that enactment occurs. When realization of deferred income tax assets does not meet the more-likely-than-not criterion for recognition, a valuation allowance is recognized.
Uncertain tax positions are recognized when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of the position, that the position will be sustained. Recognized tax benefits are measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. The Company continually assesses the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjusts the income tax provision, income taxes payable, and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known. Interest and penalties related to income taxes, including unrecognized tax benefits, are recorded in income tax expense.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS computed based upon the lower of the two-class method and the if-converted method, which includes the effects of the assumed conversion of the Series A Senior Preferred Shares, and the effect of shares issuable under the Company’s stock-based incentive plans, if such effect is dilutive.
The two-class method is an earnings allocation method for computing EPS when a Company’s capital structure includes common stock and participating securities. The two-class method determines EPS between holders of common stock and the Company’s participating preferred stock based on dividends declared and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings.
The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.
Adjustments to the carrying amount of redeemable non-controlling interest, based on a pre-determined contractual formula or amount, are included in net income available to common stockholders for purposes of calculating EPS.

Acquisitions
J.M. Wood
On July 14, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in J.M. Wood Auction Co., Inc. (“J.M. Wood”), a privately held auction business located in Montgomery, Alabama, United States. The acquisition is expected to expand the Company's geographic coverage and combines J.M. Wood's regional expertise and customer relationships with the Company's global network and technology.
The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations. The following table presents the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:
Purchase price$213.6 
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash and cash equivalents6.4 
Inventory8.2 
Property, plant, and equipment, net4.0 
Intangible assets49.9 
Other, net(0.7)
Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired67.8 
Goodwill acquired on acquisition$145.8 
Approximately $163.6 million of the purchase price, net of cash acquired, was paid on closing with the remainder to be paid in fixed installments on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the closing date. The deferred payments that form part of purchase consideration have been recorded as liabilities at their acquisition-date fair value of $43.1 million, determined by discounting the contractual payments using the Company’s credit-adjusted discount rate, with $13.8 million presented within trade and other liabilities and $29.3 million presented within other non-current liabilities. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recorded a $25.2 million measurement period adjustment to consideration transferred and goodwill. The Company determined that a portion of the deferred payments represents compensation for future services and, accordingly, will be recognized over the requisite service period.
The following table presents the preliminary fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired:
AssetFair value
at acquisition
Weighted-average
amortization period
Customer relationships$46.0 7 years
Trade names and trademarks3.9 5 years
Fair value of acquired intangible assets$49.9 6.8 years
The purchase price allocation is preliminary as of December 31, 2025. The most significant items pending completion include the finalization of review of the intangible asset valuation report and income taxes. Adjustments to the preliminary allocation, including changes to intangible asset values and related amortization, may be recorded during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as additional information becomes available.
The goodwill recognized reflects the expected synergies of the combined company, the assembled workforce of J.M. Wood, and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Substantially all of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Revenue and net income of J.M. Wood included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date are not material, nor are the corresponding pro forma amounts. Revenue of J.M. Wood for the year ended December 31, 2024 was approximately $92.6 million and net income was not material.
IAA
On March 20, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of IAA, Inc. (“IAA”) for a total purchase price of approximately $6.6 billion. The Company acquired IAA to create a leading omnichannel marketplace for vehicle buyers and sellers. IAA stockholders received $12.80 per share in cash and 0.5252 shares of the Company for each share of IAA common stock they owned (the “Exchange Ratio”). As such, the Company paid $1.7 billion in cash consideration and issued 70.3 million shares of its common stock. In addition, the Company repaid $1.2 billion of IAA’s net debt, which included all outstanding borrowings and unpaid fees under IAA’s credit agreement and $500.0 million principal amount of IAA senior notes, at a redemption price equal to 102.75% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations. The following table presents the final allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Purchase price (cash: $1,714.2 million; fair value of common shares issued: $3,712.9 million; repayment of net debt: $1,157.1 million; reimbursement of costs: $48.8 million; and fair value of exchanged equity awards: $13.1 million)

Goodwill relates to synergies expected to be achieved from the operations of the combined company, the assembled workforce of IAA, and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Expected synergies include both increased revenue opportunities and the cost savings from the planned integration of platform infrastructure, facilities, personnel, and systems. The transaction is considered a non-taxable business combination and the goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
Other Acquisitions
On November 28, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of Smith Broughton Pty Ltd (“Smith Broughton”), an Australia based auction business for $31.2 million. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price allocation is preliminary as of December 31, 2025 and the purchase price has been allocated primarily to inventory and intangible assets, including customer relationships and goodwill. Goodwill recognized of $8.3 million reflects the expected synergies of the combined company, the assembled workforce, and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill has been assigned to the Ritchie Bros. reporting unit, and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The identifiable intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of five to seven years. Revenue and net income of Smith Broughton included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date are not material. The pro forma impact of the acquisition is not material to the Company's financial statements.
On October 31, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of Boom and Bucket Inc., an online marketplace for used heavy equipment, for a total purchase price of approximately $10.0 million. The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition. The acquired technology is being amortized over its estimated useful life of three years.
On January 3, 2023, the Company increased its investment in VeriTread LLC (“VeriTread”), a transportation services marketplace, to 75% from 11% for $28.1 million. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price of $32.4 million, which included the remeasurement of the previously held interest of $4.3 million, was allocated primarily to goodwill, intangible assets, and redeemable non-controlling interest. Goodwill recognized of $25.2 million reflects the expected synergies of the combined company, the assembled workforce of VeriTread, and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill has been assigned to the Services reporting unit and is not deductible for tax purposes.
In January 2026, the Company acquired the remaining equity interests in VeriTread. Refer to Note 21. Temporary Equity, Stockholders' Equity and Dividends for further details.
Divestiture
DDI
On November 3, 2025, the Company completed the sale of Decision Dynamics, LLC (“DDI”), an electronic lien and title business, for $37.8 million, subject to final closing adjustments . Upon completion of the sale, a gain of $5.9 million was recorded within loss on divestiture and deconsolidation, net. The carrying amount of the assets derecognized includes an allocation of goodwill, which was determined based on the relative fair value of the business in relation to the fair value of its associated reporting unit. The results of DDI prior to the sale are included within continuing operations on the consolidated income statements.

Loss on Deconsolidation and Recognition of Equity Method Investment
Note 4. Loss on Deconsolidation and Recognition of Equity Method Investment
On June 21, 2025, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary SYNETIQ Ltd., entered into an agreement with LKQ Europe to establish a new joint venture, LKQ SYNETIQ, focused on vehicle parts dismantling and distribution services. To prepare for the transaction, the Company transferred the net assets to be used in the operations of the joint venture to a newly created entity. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company retained a 40% equity interest in the new entity, and LKQ Europe acquired a 60% equity interest for proceeds of £8.0 million (approximately $11.0 million), to be paid in equal installments on the third, fourth, and fifth anniversaries of the closing date.
The Company determined that it no longer controlled and therefore deconsolidated the entity at closing and recorded the fair value of its 40% equity interest within other non-current assets, by applying the equity method of accounting. The fair value of the initial carrying amount of the investment was determined based on the value implied by the transaction.
The loss on deconsolidation including within loss on divestiture and deconsolidation, net was determined as follows:
Fair value of consideration receivable$8.7 
Initial carrying amount of the equity method investment5.8 
Carrying amount of net assets derecognized on deconsolidation(30.0)
Loss on deconsolidation$(15.5)
The carrying amount of the net assets derecognized includes an allocation of goodwill, which was determined based on the relative fair value of the business in relation to the fair value of its associated reporting unit. The Company recognized a $1.7 million inventory write down in connection with the transaction, recognized within cost of inventory sold, and incurred $2.5 million in related transaction costs recognized within selling, general and administrative expenses in the year ended December 31, 2025.
LKQ Europe has an option to purchase the Company's remaining 40% equity interest in LKQ SYNETIQ during the six-month period following the fifth anniversary of the closing date at a price based on the trailing gross profit of LKQ SYNETIQ for specified periods. If LKQ Europe does not exercise its option, the Company will have the right to initiate a sale of LKQ SYNETIQ's assets or shares or require LKQ Europe to sell its shares to the Company at a price based on the trailing gross profit of LKQ SYNETIQ for specified periods.
Equity income (loss) for the period since deconsolidation, presented within other income (loss), net was not material for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Segment Information
Note 6. Segment Information
The Company has one operating and reportable segment which reflects the manner in which the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), its Chief Executive Officer, reviews and assesses the performance of the business and allocates resources.
The information used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources includes various measures of segment profit, however, for the purposes of the disclosures required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has determined that the measure most consistent with the measurement principles used in measuring the corresponding amounts in the consolidated financial statements is net income. Consolidated financial information is used to monitor forecast versus actual results in order to make key operating decisions. The CODM does not evaluate the performance of the Company or allocate resources at any level below the consolidated level or based on the Company's assets or liabilities.
The following table presents the significant segment expenses, in the context of deriving net income, that are regularly provided to and reviewed by the CODM, reconciled to the segment’s net income:

1 The Canadian federal statutory tax rate reflects the basic corporate rate of 38%, less the 13% general rate reduction applicable to public companies.
2 Provincial taxes in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario for 2023 to 2025 made up the majority of the tax effect in this category.
The Company has determined that the undistributed earnings generated by its foreign subsidiaries along with any additional outside basis differences were indefinitely reinvested as of December 31, 2025, therefore no deferred tax was provided. The Company believes it is not practicable to estimate the amount of deferred tax liability related to the entire outside basis differences due to the complexity of the calculation and the uncertainty regarding assumptions necessary to compute the tax. However, the Company would not anticipate any significant tax liability associated with the repatriation of the undistributed earnings.

The Company offsets all deferred tax assets and liabilities by tax filing jurisdiction, as well as any related valuation allowance, and presents them as a single non-current deferred income tax asset or non-current deferred income tax liability. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities were as follows:

At December 31, 2025, the Company had non-capital loss carryforwards that are available to reduce taxable income in the future years. These non-capital loss carryforwards expire as follows:
2026$—

The Company has capital loss carryforwards of approximately $68.1 million (2024: $67.1 million) available to reduce future capital gains and interest deduction carryforwards of $0.8 million (2024: $63.5 million), both of which carryforward indefinitely.
Tax losses are denominated in the currency of the countries in which the respective subsidiaries are located and operate. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could reduce the U.S. dollar equivalent value of these tax loss and tax credit carry forwards in future years.
The following table summarizes the activity related to unrecognized tax benefits:

Unrecognized tax benefits, end of year$21.8 $26.7 
At December 31, 2025, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $21.8 million (2024: $26.7 million), of which $16.2 million (2024: $18.7 million) represents the net amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate.
The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the Company's provision for income taxes. At December 31, 2025, the Company had accrued $4.2 million (2024: $4.4 million) for interest and penalties that have been included in the above reconciliation table, and during the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company recognized a recovery of $0.2 million (2024: $0.1 million) for interest and penalties.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the United States Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and amends other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others through 2027. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company is routinely subject to tax audits and reviews in various jurisdictions around the world. Tax authorities may challenge the manner in which the Company has filed its tax returns and reported its income.
On December 3, 2024, the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) issued the Company a Notice of Assessment and Statement of Interest for C$79.1 million ($57.8 million), for the taxation years 2010 through 2015, inclusive of C$37.7 million ($27.5 million) in income taxes, and C$41.4 million ($30.2 million) in interest and penalties. The CRA is asserting that one of the Company’s Luxembourg subsidiaries, which was in operation from 2010 to 2020, was a resident in Canada from 2010 through 2015 and that its worldwide income should be subject to Canadian income taxation.
In February 2025, the Company filed a Notice of Objection with the CRA as it believes it is and has been in full compliance with Canadian tax laws and it intends to pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies necessary to resolve this matter. In addition, the Company paid a deposit of C$39.5 million ($28.8 million) to the CRA in early February 2025, recorded within other non-current assets, the minimum required by law as part of the CRA’s objection process. In the event that the Company prevails in its objection or subsequent legal proceedings, the deposit would be refunded with interest to the Company. In June 2025, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal with the Tax Court of Canada. In October 2025, the Canadian Crown filed a response to the Company’s Notice of Appeal with the Tax Court of Canada maintaining the CRA’s assertion and requesting that the Company’s appeal be dismissed. The Company believes the Crown’s response is without merit and plans to continue to litigate.
In the event that the Company’s tax filing position is not upheld by either the CRA or by a court of last resort, the Company would incur and record the amounts assessed in income tax, interest and penalties in its consolidated financial statements, which could have a material negative effect on the Company’s results of operations.
In addition, in late 2024, the CRA requested information regarding the 2016 to 2020 taxation years for the same matter, which the Company provided in January 2025. In September 2025, the CRA requested additional information and clarification regarding previous submissions to which the Company responded and provided the additional information in October 2025. The Company has not received a notice of assessment relating to the 2016 to 2020 taxation years. Depending on the outcome of this matter, the Company could incur additional income taxes, penalties and interest relating to the 2016 to 2020 taxation years, which could have a material negative effect on its results of operations.
At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has not recorded any amounts relating to this matter in the consolidated financial statements, as it is the Company’s conclusion that it is more likely than not that the Company’s tax filing position will ultimately be sustained. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter and the final disposition of any appeals, which could take numerous years to resolve.

The fair values of loans receivable are estimated using an income approach based on discounted cash flows utilizing current market interest rates. The fair values of the Revolving Facility loans and the TLA Facility loans, prior to the deduction of deferred debt issuance costs, approximate their carrying values due to their variable, market-based interest rates. The fair values of the Senior Secured Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes are determined based on quoted prices in an over-the-counter market.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments was not material at December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The total gross notional amount of forward foreign currency contracts outstanding as at December 31, 2025 is $59.6 million (2024: $48.1 million).

The Company generally has possession of assets or asset titles collateralizing a significant portion of trade receivables. Trade receivables are due for payment typically within seven days of the date of sale, after which they are interest bearing. Consumption taxes receivable are deemed fully recoverable unless disputed by the relevant tax authority. Other receivables are unsecured and non-interest bearing.
The activity in the allowance for expected credit losses is not material for any periods presented.
Loans Receivable
The Company participates in certain lending arrangements that are fully collateralized and secured by equipment or other assets. These arrangements typically have terms of one to five years. In an event of default, the Company may recover its loan receivable through the sale of the collateral. The related allowance for credit losses is not

At December 31, 2025, the Company had undrawn Revolving Facility commitments aggregating $1.1 billion available until April 2030, subject to certain covenant restrictions, and undrawn uncommitted foreign credit facility capacity aggregating $15.0 million available indefinitely. The Company was in compliance with all financial and other covenants applicable to its debt agreements at December 31, 2025.
Credit Agreement
In 2016, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders (as amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement is comprised of multi-currency revolving facilities (the “Revolving Facility”) and the Term Loan A facility (the “TLA Facility”). The TLA Facility is comprised of facilities denominated in U.S. and Canadian dollars (the “USD TLA Facility” and “CAD TLA Facility”, respectively).
On April 3, 2025, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Facility from $750.0 million to $1.3 billion, reduce the USD TLA Facility from $1.225 billion to $950.0 million, reduce certain loan margins and fees, adjust certain covenants for more financial flexibility, and extend the maturity of the Credit Agreement from September 21, 2026 to April 3, 2030. Revolving Facility and TLA Facility loans bear interest at a benchmark rate plus an applicable margin and the TLA Facility loans are subject to quarterly installment payments of 1.25% of principal, with the balance due at maturity. In connection with the amendment, the Company incurred issuance costs of $1.8 million, which have been deferred and presented as a reduction in the carrying amount of the TLA Facility loans, $2.6 million, which have been deferred and presented within other non-current assets as they relate to the Revolving Facility, and $3.9 million, which have been expensed and recorded within selling, general and administrative expense.
Senior Secured and Unsecured Notes

Note 21. Temporary Equity, Stockholders' Equity and Dividends
Series A Senior Preferred Shares
The Series A Senior Preferred Shares are convertible into common stock and were issued at an initial conversion price of $73.00 per share, which is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment provisions. The conversion price is $71.58 per share as of December 31, 2025. The Series A Senior Preferred Shares carry a 5.5% preferred dividend, which is payable quarterly, in cash or in shares at the Company's option, and are entitled to participate on an as-converted basis in the Company's regular quarterly common share dividends, subject to a $0.27 per share per quarter floor.
On the fourth anniversary of the issuance date of February 1, 2023, holders will have the right to increase the preferred dividend to 7.5%, and on the ninth anniversary of the issuance date, holders will have the right to increase the preferred dividend to a fixed percentage equal to the greater of (a) 600 bps over the daily simple SOFR as then in effect and (b) 10.50%, subject, in each case, to the Company’s right to redeem the Series A Senior Preferred Shares for which a dividend rate increase has been demanded.
Upon consummation of one or more specified change of control transactions, the holders will have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Series A Senior Preferred Shares in cash provided, however, that each holder, at its option, may elect instead to convert its Series A Senior Preferred Shares into the applicable change of control consideration. In addition, the Company has the right to redeem the Series A Senior Preferred Shares in the event of a change of control transaction where the successor entity is not traded on certain eligible markets. The possible future redemption of the Series A Senior Preferred Shares as a result of a change in control has been assessed as not probable at December 31, 2025.
Holders of the Series A Senior Preferred Shares are entitled to vote together with the common stock on an as-converted basis on all matters permitted by applicable law, subject to certain exceptions to enable compliance with applicable antitrust law. The Series A Senior Preferred Shares rank, with respect to rights as to dividends, distributions, redemptions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, (a) senior to all of the junior preferred stock, common stock and any other class or series of capital shares of the Company, issued or authorized after the Series A Senior Preferred Shares issuance date, the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series ranks senior to or on a parity with the Series A Senior Preferred Shares, (b) on a parity basis with each other class or series of capital shares issued or authorized after the Series A Senior Preferred Shares issuance date, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks on a parity basis with the Series A Senior Preferred Shares, and (c) junior with each other class or series of capital shares issued or authorized after the Series A Senior Preferred Shares issuance date, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks on a senior basis to the Series A Senior Preferred Shares.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, holders of Series A Senior Preferred Shares were entitled to preferred dividends of $26.7 million (2024: $26.7 million; 2023: $24.3 million) and participating dividends of $8.1 million (2024: $7.5 million; 2023: $7.3 million).
Redeemable Non-controlling Interest
Redeemable non-controlling interest relates to a put/call agreement with one of the minority unitholders of VeriTread under which the holder can put its remaining 21% interest in VeriTread to the Company, if certain performance targets are met.
At December 31, 2025, the Company determined that the redeemable non-controlling interest was probable of redemption during the 60-day put window beginning January 3, 2026, at a predetermined contractual amount. Accordingly, the Company adjusted the carrying amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest to its estimated redemption value, with the corresponding $5.3 million adjustment recorded as a reduction to retained earnings.
The Company has separately recognized a 4% non-controlling interest in VeriTread within stockholders' equity as that interest is not redeemable.
In January 2026, the minority unitholder exercised its put option, and the Company acquired the related redeemable non-controlling interest at the predetermined contractual amount. Subsequently, the Company also acquired the remaining interest held by the other remaining non-controlling interest holder. As of January 2026, the Company now owns 100% of VeriTread.

Conversion of IAA Share-based Awards
In connection with the acquisition of IAA in March 2023, IAA’s stock options, RSUs and PSU awards were cancelled and exchanged into 0.2 million Company stock options and 0.4 million Company RSU awards, based on the equity award exchange ratio of 0.763139. At closing, the converted share-based awards had an estimated aggregate fair value of $24.9 million, of which $4.8 million was attributable to post-combination services and is being recognized as share-based payments expense over the requisite service periods. The converted awards are subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding IAA awards held prior to the acquisition, including vesting terms, with exception to RSU awards that replaced IAA’s PSU awards, which have service conditions rather than service and performance conditions.
Performance Share Units
PSUs are granted to executives and senior employees and contain service conditions along with performance or market conditions, conditional upon the Company's total shareholder return relative to a peer group. PSUs typically have three-year performance and market vesting conditions.
The fair value of PSUs with market conditions are estimated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value are presented in the following table on a weighted-average basis:
December 31, 2025December 31, 2024December 31, 2023
Risk free interest rate4.0 %4.4 %4.5 %
Expected lives of the PSUs3 years3 years2 years
Expected volatility30.4 %32.2 %32.7 %
Average expected volatility of comparable companies34.7 %48.3 %48.6 %
At December 31, 2025, the unrecognized share unit expense related to PSUs with market conditions was $18.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years and the unrecognized share unit expense related to PSUs with performance conditions was $12.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Restricted Share Units
RSUs granted to employees typically vest over a three-year service period and RSUs granted to directors vest on the earlier of (i) the one year anniversary of the grant date and (ii) the date of the Company's next annual meeting of shareholders. The issuance of shares related to RSUs granted to directors may be deferred at the holder's election.
At December 31, 2025, the unrecognized share unit expense related to equity-classified RSUs was $28.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Deferred Share Units
At December 31, 2025, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with DSUs was nil. The total market value of liability-classified share units which vested during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $0.2 million (2024: $3.2 million; 2023: $1.8 million).
Stock Options
There were nil stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024: nil; 2023: 0.3 million). The following table presents stock options granted historically, which remain outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2025 (actual number of stock options):

Outstanding, December 31, 2025790,276392,238
Exercisable, December 31, 2025716,433392,238
At December 31, 2025, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with stock options was $0.1 million. Cash received from stock option exercises for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $22.5 million (2024: $49.3 million; 2023: $34.5 million). The actual tax benefit realized related to the exercise of stock options totaled $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024: $2.3 million; 2023: $0.8 million).
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On May 8, 2023, the Company's shareholders approved the 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2023 ESPP”) under which 3.0 million common shares of the Company were reserved for issuance and at December 31, 2025, there were 1.9 million shares available for issuance.
The 2023 ESPP allows eligible employees to contribute up to 15% of their base compensation during each semi-annual offering period, up to twenty-five thousand dollars, towards the purchase of Company’s stock, at 85% of the lower of the fair market value on: i. the first day of the applicable offering period, or ii. the last day of the applicable purchase period within the offering period. Employees also have the option to participate through a cashless program, by electing to settle on a net basis on the purchase date. At the end of each purchase period, employee contributions are used to purchase Company common stock.
During each of the years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were two offerings under the 2023 ESPP. The 2025 offerings had weighted-average grant date fair values of $22.27 and $19.87 (2024: $15.94 and $19.42; 2023: $11.99 and $12.43).
The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of ESPP awards are presented in the following table on a weighted-average basis:

Note 24. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
At December 31, 2025, the Company had committed to capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment totaling approximately $50.1 million (December 31, 2024: $26.9 million) and expenditures for intangible assets and technology services agreements totaling approximately $22.0 million (December 31, 2024: $26.7 million).
Legal and Other Claims
On July 31, 2023, Ann Fandozzi informed the Company’s Board of her intention to resign from her position as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer due to a disagreement with the Company regarding her compensation as Chief Executive Officer. The Board accepted her verbal resignation and interpreted her subsequent conduct as affirmation of her resignation. The Company advised Ms. Fandozzi that it was accepting her resignation effective immediately and waiving any written procedural notice requirements under the Employment Agreement by and between Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers (Canada) Ltd. and Ms. Fandozzi, dated December 14, 2019. Ms. Fandozzi disputed that she tendered her resignation. On February 21, 2024, Ms. Fandozzi formally resigned from the Company’s Board. Arbitration in accordance with the terms of Ms. Fandozzi’s employment agreement concluded on February 16, 2026, when an arbitration panel issued a final binding decision awarding Ms. Fandozzi $59.6 million.
The Company has accounted for the decision as an adjusting subsequent event and recorded an expense of $41.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2025, representing the adjustment of the previously recorded accrual to the awarded amount.
The Company is subject to legal and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management does not believe that the results of these claims will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets or consolidated income statements.
Guarantee Contracts
In the normal course of business, the Company may guarantee a consignor a minimum level of proceeds in connection with the sale at auction of that consignor’s equipment.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
RB Global recognizes the critical importance of assessing, identifying and managing material risks to our business associated with cybersecurity threats and incidents. Cybersecurity risks are identified through various means, including internal assessments of IT initiatives and systems, cybersecurity assessments of third-party providers, penetration testing using third-party tools and techniques to test technical controls, vulnerability identification and management procedures, and monitoring emerging threat intelligence, as well as emerging laws and regulations. Our strategy to manage cybersecurity risk prioritizes threat prevention, as well as resiliency through established defense, detection and response mechanisms and processes. These mechanisms and processes include risk-based technical security controls, policy enforcement mechanisms, alert monitoring and other security tools (such as our security incident event management platform, which provides a centralized view of all alerts within our information systems environment), incident tracking and management (for both internal events and those reported by third-party providers), employee training, and contractual arrangements with third parties that provide cybersecurity risk management services. Through these processes, we regularly monitor the efficacy of our protection, detection and response mechanisms to cybersecurity threats and implement changes as appropriate. Key metrics in relation to such monitoring include detection and remediation of incidents, vulnerability reporting and patching, detecting and takedowns relating to digital fraud, and outcomes of our phishing simulations.
Additionally, management has established two cross-functional committees made up of appropriate personnel throughout the Company, the Data Privacy Committee (“DPC”) and the Security Steering Committee (“SSC”), to frame, review and guide our processes. The SSC is comprised of our Chief Operations Officer (“COO”), who provides overall leadership for the Company's technology organization and has assumed the responsibilities of the Company's Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”) on an interim basis, our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”), and other IT leaders, as well as representatives from Internal Audit, Product Management, Human Resources and Legal. The DPC is responsible for developing strategies and policies relating to data privacy and protection and the SSC provides a forum for engaging stakeholders on security and risk reduction initiatives, setting security policies and assessing the effectiveness of Company efforts to monitor, prevent, and remediate security threats and incidents.
We maintain a comprehensive security program that includes physical, administrative and technical safeguards designed to prevent and appropriately respond to cybersecurity threats or incidents. We have engaged a third-party consulting firm to conduct ongoing cybersecurity maturity assessments and audits based on best practice frameworks. We also continue to invest in dedicated information security resources and technology to strengthen our programs and controls around people and processes. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, we have established an incident response and breach management process led by our CISO with the support of leaders from Legal, Operations, and Internal Audit. We have retainers with experienced breach coaches in multiple jurisdictions that have been pre-approved by our insurers and a reputable third-party incident response provider on call as necessary. Cybersecurity incidents, once identified, are evaluated, ranked by severity and prioritized for response and remediation. Incidents are evaluated to determine materiality, as well as operational, business and privacy impact.
Recognizing that our employees are a crucial line of defense against cybersecurity threats, RB Global conducts mandatory onboarding and annual security awareness training. We also designate October as Cybersecurity Awareness Month and emphasize through various information campaigns the importance of data and systems security and privacy. Additionally, we deploy phishing simulations to provide “experiential learning” on how to recognize phishing attempts and we measure the effectiveness of our training.
We are not aware of having experienced, directly or through our third-party providers, any cybersecurity threats or incidents through the date of this Report that have materially affected the Company, its business strategy, results of operations or financial condition, or are reasonably likely to have such an effect. This does not guarantee that future incidents or threats will not have a material impact, or that we or our third-party providers are not currently the subject of an undetected incident or threat that may have such an impact. For more information on our cybersecurity related risks, see Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Dec. 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and presented in U.S. dollars. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts in the following tables are in millions, except per share amounts.
Basis of Consolidation
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and entities consolidated under the interest and voting models. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Non-controlling interests are reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as a separate component of equity or within temporary equity.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosed in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting for business combinations requires estimates with respect to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Estimates of fair value require valuation methods, which rely on significant estimates and assumptions, especially for acquired intangible assets.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, or upon completion of the performance obligation, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The transaction price is reduced by estimates of variable consideration, such as volume rebates and discounts.
Revenues are comprised of:
Service revenue, including:
i.Transactional seller revenues, which includes commissions and other fees earned from consignors to facilitate the sale of an asset such as inbound tow, liens search, title processing, online listing and inspection fees;
ii.Transactional buyer revenues, which includes tiered buyer transaction and other fees earned from buyers to complete the purchase of an asset, such as title processing, late pick-up, platform registration and other administrative fees; and
iii.Marketplace services revenues, which includes fees earned from various optional services provided to buyers, sellers, or other third-parties, such as transportation, buyer towing, refurbishment, financing, parts procurement, data and appraisal, and other ancillary services.
Inventory sales revenue, which consists of revenue relating to assets that are purchased by the Company and then resold.
Service Revenue
The Company offers the following types of commission arrangements to sellers:
Straight commission contracts, where the consignor receives the gross proceeds from the sale less a pre-negotiated commission rate;
Fixed fee commission contracts, where the consignor receives the gross proceeds from the sale less a fixed flat fee; and
Guarantee contracts, where the consignor receives a guaranteed minimum amount plus an additional amount if proceeds exceed a specified level.
Transactional seller and buyer revenue is recognized when a binding obligation with the buyer is created upon the final acceptance of the winning bid, and the performance obligations, including other sale related services, are satisfied at the end of the sale process. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is shown net of value-added tax and duties.
The Company generally does not pay consignors until it receives the auction proceeds from buyers, except in certain automotive arrangements where it may be required to pay the consignor even if the buyer defaults. When a buyer defaults (a collapsed sale), the sale is cancelled and the property is either returned to the consignor or resold. If the Company has already paid the consignor, the property is recorded as inventory until resold. The Company records a provision for expected collapsed or cancelled sales based on historical default experience, customer data, and reasonable forecasts.
Losses from guarantee contracts are recorded in the period in which the relevant sale is completed or accrued if they become probable and estimable.
The Company may share commissions or buyer fees with customers or third parties when selling consigned assets. In these arrangements, it must determine whether it acts as the principal and reports revenue on a gross basis or as the agent and reports revenue on a net basis. This assessment focuses on whether the Company controls the asset or service and is primarily responsible for fulfilling the sale. When buyer fees are shared with consignors, the shared amount is recorded as a reduction of revenue.
Transactional buyer revenue also includes buyer platform registration fees to access certain vehicle auction and marketplace sales for a one- or two-year term which are recognized ratably over the contract term.
Marketplace services revenue is recognized in the period in which the service is provided or control has been transferred.
Inventory Sales Revenue
Inventory sales revenue is recognized in the period in which the sale is complete and control has been transferred.
Costs of Services
Costs of Services
Costs of services is comprised of expenses incurred in direct relation to earning service revenue. Costs of services relating to revenues generated from auction sites which conduct weekly auctions, includes full- and part-time labor, lease expense, towing, onsite customer care support, and other operating costs. Costs of services relating to revenues generated from auction sites which conduct less frequent auctions, includes direct part-time and temporary labor costs, marketing, travel, and other operating costs to support auction events. Cost of services includes the portion of commissions or fees shared with third parties where the Company is principal in the underlying transaction.
Share-based Payments
Share-based Payments
The Company uses the fair value method to account for share-based payment awards. Share-based awards granted to employees include stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”), and awards under the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) and share-based awards granted to directors include RSUs and deferred share units (“DSUs”). All awards other than DSUs are classified as equity as they are expected to be settled in shares. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period, with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital for equity awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
RSUs have service conditions and are measured at the grant-date share price, with expense recognized using the graded vesting approach. PSUs have service conditions, together with performance or market conditions. PSUs with performance conditions are measured at the grant-date share price and expensed based on the probability of achieving the conditions. PSUs with market conditions are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model and compensation cost is recognized over the service period regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately achieved.
Stock options and ESPP awards are valued using the Black-Scholes model. The ESPP is compensatory, and expense is recognized using the accelerated method. Proceeds from stock option exercises, together with the related APIC, are credited to common stock.
DSUs vest immediately, are expected to be settled in cash, and are classified as liability awards. DSUs are measured at fair value initially and remeasured each reporting date based on the Company’s closing share price, with changes recognized in compensation expense. The related liability is included in accrued liabilities.
Incremental fair value from award modifications is recognized in the period of modification. Dividend equivalents on equity-classified awards are recorded as a reduction to retained earnings when earned.
Leases
Leases
Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. The Company may have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. The Company applies a portfolio approach to account for leases of certain similar assets with similar terms. Leases with an initial term of 12-months or less are short-term in nature and not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments, initial direct costs incurred, and prepaid lease payments and exclude lease incentives. Renewal options, purchase options, and termination options are included in the determination of lease balances when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. The Company generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments, unless the implicit rate is readily determinable.
Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in costs of services and selling, general and administrative expenses. Finance lease ROU assets are generally amortized over the lease term and included in depreciation expense. The interest on finance lease liabilities is included in interest expense.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into forward currency contracts from time to time to manage exposure to foreign currency exchange gains and losses its subsidiaries are exposed to on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency.
Derivative instruments are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on derivatives not designated in a hedging relationship are recorded in net income. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative contracts are recognized separately unless they are closely related to the host contract.
Fair Value Measurement
Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements at fair value are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement or disclosure:
Level 1: Inputs that are based upon quoted active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect management's best estimate of what market participants would use to price the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
For assets and liabilities recognized in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of each Company subsidiary is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The financial statements of foreign denominated subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the period end exchange rates for the balance sheet and monthly average exchange rate for the income statement. Translation gains and losses are included in foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income (loss), net of income tax.
Transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency with resulting gains and losses recognized in earnings, except for gains and losses arising on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature, which are included in foreign currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss), net of income tax.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents is comprised of cash on hand, deposits with financial institutions, other short-term, liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and overdraft balances to the extent the financial institution has the legal right of offset.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of cash held in segregated accounts, used to settle auction proceeds payable, as required in certain jurisdictions and funds held in accounts to support stand-by letters of credit.
Book overdrafts represent outstanding checks and other pending disbursements in excess of cash account balances with a right of offset. Such amounts are recorded in accounts payable and are reflected as an operating activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables primarily consist of amounts due from auction buyers and sellers, advance charges paid on a consignors behalf, and the current portion of loans receivable. Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for credit losses, based on historical experience, customer economic data, and external market conditions.
Prepaid Consigned Vehicle Charges
Prepaid Consigned Vehicle Charges
Prepaid consigned vehicle charges consist of inbound tow, titling, and enhancement charges incurred and associated with consigned vehicles on a specific identification basis. These prepaid charges are recorded in cost of services once the associated vehicle is sold and revenue is recognized.
Inventory
Inventory
Inventory is carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value, where net realizable value represents the expected sale price upon disposition of the asset inclusive of buyer fees and other fees, less make-ready costs and costs of disposal and transportation. The significant elements of cost include acquisition price, in-bound transportation costs, and make-ready costs. Inventory write-downs are included in cost of inventory sold on the consolidated income statements. Cost of inventory sold is determined on the specific identification basis.
Equity Method Investments
Equity Method Investments
The Company accounts for investments which it does not control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over, by applying the equity method of accounting. The Company's share of income and losses of equity method investees and impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated income statements during the period that they are incurred. Returns of investment in excess of cumulative equity earnings are classified as cash flows from investing activities. The Company evaluates equity method investments for impairment when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the investment may be impaired. An impairment loss on an equity method investment is recognized when a decline in its value is determined to be other-than-temporary.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition or development of the asset, including the cost of materials and direct labor, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to working condition for their intended use, the costs of dismantling and removing items and restoring the site on which they are located (if applicable), and capitalized interest on qualifying assets.
Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed. Gains and losses on the disposition of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the proceeds received and the carrying amount of an asset. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment under finance leases is recorded in depreciation expense.
The method of depreciation and estimated useful lives by asset type are as follows:
Land improvements and site improvementsDeclining balance10 %
Buildings and building improvementsStraight-line
15 - 30 years
Yard, automotive and office equipmentDeclining balance
20 - 30%
Computer software and equipmentStraight-line
3 - 5 years
Leasehold improvementsStraight-lineLesser of lease term and economic life
Assets Held for Sale
Assets Held for Sale
The Company classifies assets or disposal groups as held for sale when management commits to a plan to sell, the assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition, the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year, the Company is actively marketing the assets at a price reasonable in relation to their current fair value, and actions required to complete the plan indicate it is unlikely the plan will change significantly.
Upon classification as held for sale, the assets, or disposal group, are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell and are not depreciated.
Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition or development of the asset, net of any amounts received in relation to those assets. Costs of internally developed software and technology assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Costs incurred prior to the application development stage are charged to operations as incurred. Once application development has begun, directly attributable costs are capitalized until the software and technology assets are available for use.
Amortization is recognized in earnings on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The amortization periods of finite-lived intangible assets are re-evaluated periodically when facts and circumstances indicate that the remaining useful lives may have changed. Indefinite-lived trade names and trademarks are not amortized. The estimated useful lives of the Company's intangible assets by asset type are as follows:
Trade names and trademarks
2 - 15 years or indefinite-lived
Customer relationships
6 - 20 years
Software and technology assets
3 - 7 years
Cloud Computing Arrangements
Cloud Computing Arrangements
The Company defers costs incurred to implement cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts hosted by third-party vendors within other current assets and other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Once implementation of the cloud computing arrangement is complete, the costs are amortized to selling, general and administrative expense over the expected term of the associated hosting arrangement on a straight-line basis, taking into account renewal options which are reasonably certain to be exercised.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The recoverability assessment is performed at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, and is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually as of December 31, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an asset’s fair value exceeds its carrying amount. If a quantitative test is necessary, the estimated fair value is compared to carrying amount and any excess carrying amount is recognized as an impairment loss, if applicable.
Goodwill
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of its identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment at the reporting unit level as of December 31, and more frequently if indicators of potential impairment are identified. The Company performs a qualitative impairment assessment if it determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If a quantitative impairment test is required, the reporting unit’s fair value is compared to its carrying amount including goodwill and if the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized, if applicable.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs represent the unamortized debt issuance costs incurred on the issuance of the Company’s long-term debt and are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the lives of the related long-term debt. Deferred financing costs are presented as a reduction in the carrying amount of the related long-term debt or in other non-current assets. Deferred financing costs presented in other non-current assets relate to the Company's revolving credit facilities. The Company expenses the portion of deferred financing costs associated with partial repayments of debt to interest expense.
Redeemable Non-controlling Interest
Redeemable Non-controlling Interest
Redeemable non-controlling interest is classified as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheets, as the holder may put its interest to the Company. Redeemable non-controlling interest is initially carried at its acquisition date fair value. The Company evaluates redeemable non‑controlling interest at the end of each reporting period to determine whether redemption is probable. If it becomes probable of redemption, the Company adjusts the carrying amount to its estimated redemption value at the end of each reporting period, with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings.
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
Redeemable convertible preferred stock is classified as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheet as it could become redeemable due to a change in control, which would be outside of the Company’s control. The redeemable convertible preferred stock is initially carried at fair value, and if redemption becomes probable, the Company will adjust the carrying amount to its estimated redemption value at the end of each reporting period, with an offsetting adjustment to retained earnings. Direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with issuance are recorded as a reduction in the initial carrying amount.
Defined Contribution Plans
Defined Contribution Plans
Certain employees of the Company are members of retirement benefit plans to which the Company matches up to a specified percentage of employee contributions or, in certain jurisdictions, contributes a specified percentage of payroll costs as mandated by the local authorities. The only obligation of the Company with respect to these plans is to make specified contributions. Contributions are charged to the consolidated income statements reflecting the period of the employee's service.
Advertising Costs
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in both costs of services and selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated income statements. Advertising expense recorded in costs of services was $9.6 million, $10.6 million, and $9.4 million for 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Advertising expense recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses was $21.1 million, $24.6 million, and $26.1 million for 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Self-insurance Reserves
Self-insurance Reserves
The Company self-insures a portion of employee medical benefits, as well as a portion of its automobile, general liability and workers’ compensation claims. The Company has insurance coverage that limits the exposure on individual claims. The cost of the insurance is expensed over the contract periods. Utilizing historical claims experience, the Company records an accrual for the claims related to its employee medical benefits, automobile, general liability and workers’ compensation claims based upon the expected amount of all such claims, which includes the cost of claims that have been incurred but not reported.
Business Combinations
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The purchase price is determined based on the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities assumed, and equity interests issued, after considering any transactions that are separate from the business combination and which are accounted for separately. The Company allocates the aggregate of the fair value of the purchase consideration transferred to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition with any excess recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation may be provisional during a one year measurement period. Any measurement period adjustments are recognized in the period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included within acquisition-related and integration costs.
Where acquired assets and liabilities do not meet the definition of a business, or substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the acquisition is considered an asset acquisition, and is accounted for using the cost accumulation model where the cost of the acquisition, including certain transaction costs, are allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of relative fair values.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on temporary differences, which are differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and non-capital loss, capital loss, and tax credits carryforwards, measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply when these differences reverse. Deferred tax benefits, including non-capital loss, capital loss, and tax credits carryforwards, are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is considered more likely than not. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that enactment occurs. When realization of deferred income tax assets does not meet the more-likely-than-not criterion for recognition, a valuation allowance is recognized.
Uncertain tax positions are recognized when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits of the position, that the position will be sustained. Recognized tax benefits are measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. The Company continually assesses the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjusts the income tax provision, income taxes payable, and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a revision become known. Interest and penalties related to income taxes, including unrecognized tax benefits, are recorded in income tax expense.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS computed based upon the lower of the two-class method and the if-converted method, which includes the effects of the assumed conversion of the Series A Senior Preferred Shares, and the effect of shares issuable under the Company’s stock-based incentive plans, if such effect is dilutive.
The two-class method is an earnings allocation method for computing EPS when a Company’s capital structure includes common stock and participating securities. The two-class method determines EPS between holders of common stock and the Company’s participating preferred stock based on dividends declared and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings.
The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.
Adjustments to the carrying amount of redeemable non-controlling interest, based on a pre-determined contractual formula or amount, are included in net income available to common stockholders for purposes of calculating EPS.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires enhanced annual disclosures within rate reconciliations and disaggregated income taxes paid information.
