Specialty business acceleration and used equipment market strength
- Specialty rental revenue +35% Y/Y, with 12 “cold starts” in Q3; 40 cold starts YTD.

Capital intensity remains high, but free cash flow strong; leverage remains controlled
- Gross rental CapEx: $1.8B in Q3, $4.7B YTD (also very large vs prior year: guidance suggests big ongoing investment).
- Free cash flow: $1.4B YTD despite higher CapEx.
- Net leverage ~1.8x at end of September—within targeted 1.5x–2.5x, giving flexibility (“dry powder”).
