  Content	Alta Equipment Group Inc. (NYSE: ALTG) (“Alta”, "we", "our" or the “Company”), a leading provider of premium material handling, construction and environmental processing equipment and related services, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. CEO Comment: Ryan Greenawalt, Chief Executive Officer of Alta, said “Overall, our 2024 performance was impacted by several factors including elevated interest rates and uncertainty regarding the U.S. presidential race, both of which contributed to a moderation of construction spending and a reduction of non-residential project starts in the U.S., when compared to 2023. This backdrop resulted in an overall decline in the North American construction equipment market, as equipment volumes within some of our regional markets were off approximately 10 to 20 percent, year over year. Additionally, in the face of waning demand, construction pricing was further pressured throughout the year as industry dealer channels were overstocked across the landscape, impacting gross margins and market share in our Construction segment. The factors that challenged our Construction segment also impacted our Master Distribution segment in 2024, negatively affecting equipment volumes and gross margins year over year. In contrast, our Material Handling segment showed more resiliency, as North American lift truck deliveries grew in 2024 as the industry continued to work through record backlogs generated post-COVID. As a result, revenues for our Material Handling segment were $687.4 million, a slight increase from a year ago. Post-election, customer sentiment improved, which drove increased demand for equipment as evidenced by our fourth quarter equipment sales results where we registered our best equipment sales quarter of 2024. Despite the notable sequential increase in equipment sales in the fourth quarter, gross margins on equipment sales continued to be pressured as market participants aimed to right-size their inventory and rental fleet levels heading into the new year. Additionally, rental equipment seasonality in our northern regions as well as employee and customer downtime due to the holiday schedule also negatively impacted our results in the fourth quarter.” Mr. Greenawalt continued, “Despite the contraction in the construction equipment markets and other macroeconomic concerns, our total revenues for 2024 were essentially flat from last year, at $1.9 billion, which demonstrated the resilience of our dealership model during market cyclicality and the strength of our multiple revenue streams, customer relationships, diversified product portfolio and attractive geographic footprint in the U.S. and Canada. Indications of this resilience from a financial perspective in 2024 are two-fold. First, our product support business continued to perform well in 2024, with combined revenues increasing 5.5% year-over-year with parts and service sales growing to $294.4 million and $253.8 million, respectively. Importantly, despite the challenges that 2024 presented to our team, we successfully achieved organic growth for the fifth consecutive year in product support since going public five years ago. Second, given our rent-to-sell business model we were able to quickly right-size fleet levels in the second half of 2024 which allowed for strong operating cash flows in 2024, when compared to 2023, and deleveraging of the balance sheet of over $60 million since June 30, 2024. Our confidence in the business model's resiliency and our ability to produce cash flows throughout the cycle allowed us to return $13.6 million to shareholders in 2024, despite an otherwise challenged overall business climate.” In conclusion, Mr. Greenawalt said, “Despite the current lack of clarity regarding interest rate levels and the proposed policy impacts of the new administration, our outlook for 2025 remains positive relative to 2024. We expect the oversupply of new equipment to normalize in the coming quarters, enhancing our competitiveness in the construction segment in 2025, with long-term stability driven by sustained capital investment in end-user construction markets. Lastly, we believe that the prudent cost and inventory optimization initiatives undertaken in 2024 provide a solid foundation for our business as we launch into 2025 and further create operating leverage for our business in the future. In closing, our success would not be possible without the ongoing determination and dedication of our employees, and I am very proud of their commitment to our Alta's guiding principles in 2024, which are predicated on teamwork and fostering customers for life.” Full Year 2025 Financial Guidance and Other Financial Notes The Company released its 2025 guidance range and expects to report Adjusted EBITDA between $175.0 million and $190.0 million for the 2025 fiscal year.

Forward Looking Statements This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Alta's actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

Most of these factors are outside Alta's control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures resulting from supply chain disruptions; labor market dynamics that impact the price and availability of labor; negative impacts on customer payment policies; adverse banking and governmental regulations, resulting in a potential reduction to the fair value of our assets; the performance and financial viability of key suppliers, contractors, customers, and financing sources; our key OEM's relative approaches to competitive pricing dynamics in the marketplace and how their approaches impact the competitiveness of the equipment we sell and our market share; economic, industry, business and political conditions including their effects on governmental policy and government actions that disrupt our supply chain or sales channels, including taxes and tariffs which impact us or our key suppliers; fluctuations in interest rates and the relative tenor of those levels; the demand and market price for our equipment and product support; collective bargaining agreements and our relationship with our union-represented employees; our success in identifying acquisition targets and integrating acquisitions; our success in expanding into and doing business in additional markets; our ability to raise capital at favorable terms; the competitive environment for our products and services; our ability to continue to innovate and develop new business lines; our ability to attract and retain key personnel, including, but not limited to, skilled technicians; our ability to maintain our listing on the New York Stock Exchange; the impact of cyber or other security threats or other disruptions to our businesses; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or divestitures, rental fleet and other organic investments or internal reorganizations; federal, state, and local government budget uncertainty, especially as it relates to infrastructure projects and taxation; currency risks and other risks associated with international operations; and other risks and uncertainties identified in this presentation or indicated from time to time in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Alta's annual report on Form 10-K and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Alta cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive, and readers should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Alta does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based. *Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we disclose non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables, Adjusted pre-tax net income, and Adjusted basic and diluted pre-tax net income per share, in this press release because we believe they are useful performance measures that assist in an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to our peers, without regard to financing methods or capital structure. We believe such measures are useful for investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management. However, such measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for, or in isolation from, net income, revenues, operating profit, debt, or any other operating performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense (not including floorplan interest paid on new equipment), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjustments for certain one-time or non-recurring items and other adjustments. We exclude these items from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts are either non-recurring or can vary substantially within the industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Management uses Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables to reflect the Company's estimated financial obligations less cash and floor plan payables on new equipment ("FPNP"). The FPNP is used to finance the Company's new inventory, with its principal balance changing daily as equipment is purchased and sold and the sale proceeds are used to repay the notes. Consequently, in managing the business, management views the FPNP as interest bearing accounts payable, representing the cost of acquiring the equipment that is then repaid when the equipment is sold, as the Company's floor plan credit agreements require repayment when such pieces of equipment are sold. The Company believes excluding the FPNP from the Company's total debt for this purpose provides management with supplemental information regarding the Company's capital structure and leverage profile and assists investors in performing analysis that is consistent with financial models developed by Company management and research analysts. Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's debt obligations, as reported in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted pre-tax net income is defined as net income before income taxes adjusted to reflect certain one-time or non-recurring items and other adjustments. Adjusted basic and diluted pre-tax net income per share is defined as adjusted pre-tax net income divided by the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares, respectively, outstanding during the period. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables, Adjusted pre-tax net income, Adjusted basic and diluted pre-tax net income per share are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance. For example, items such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, certain one-time or non-recurring items as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted pre-tax net income. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables, Adjusted pre-tax net income, Adjusted basic and diluted pre-tax net income per share should not be construed as an indication that results will be unaffected by the items excluded from these metrics. Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted total net debt and floor plan payables, Adjusted pre-tax net income, Adjusted basic and diluted pre-tax net income per share may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most comparable measures under GAAP, please see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.
