Negative

The first quarter gross margin decreased to 36.2% from 37.7% in the previous quarter and 39% in the same quarter last year, primarily due to lower rental fleet utilization.
Cross-rental costs continue to impact year-over-year gross margin, despite providing flexibility for large project activities.
SG&A expenses were $13.2 million in the first quarter, slightly higher than the $11.7 million in the same quarter last year, indicating increased operational costs.
The company anticipates significant capital expenditures of $75 million to $90 million for 2026, which could impact cash flow if not managed effectively.
