Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

U-Haul Holding Company, a Nevada corporation, (“U-Haul Holding Company” or the "Company"), has a fiscal year that ends on the 31 st of March for each year that is referenced. Our insurance company subsidiaries have fiscal years that end on the 31 st of December for each year that is referenced, which have been consolidated on that basis. Our insurance companies’ financial reporting processes conform to calendar year reporting as required by state insurance departments. We believe that consolidating their calendar year into our fiscal year consolidated financial statements does not materially affect the financial position or results of operations. We disclose material events, if any, occurring during the intervening period. Consequently, all references to our insurance subsidiaries’ years 2025, 2024 and 2023 correspond to fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024 for U-Haul Holding Company.

Accounts denominated in non-U.S. currencies have been translated into U.S. dollars. We adopted ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure, see Note 3, Accounting Policies – Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2. Principles of Consolidation

We apply Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 -Consolidation (“ASC 810”) in our principles of consolidation. ASC 810 addresses arrangements where a company does not hold a majority of the voting or similar interests of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). A company is required to consolidate a VIE if it has determined it is the primary beneficiary, which is the entity with the power to direct activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb the majority of the losses or benefits. ASC 810 also addresses the policy when a company owns a majority of the voting or similar rights and exercises effective control.

A VIE is not self-supportive due to having one or both of the following conditions: (i) it has an insufficient amount of equity for it to finance its activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support or (ii) its owners do not hold the typical risks and rights of equity owners. This determination is made upon the creation of a variable interest and is re-assessed on an on-going basis should certain changes in the operations of a VIE, or its relationship with the primary beneficiary trigger a reconsideration event. After a reconsideration event occurs the most recent facts and circumstances are utilized in determining whether or not a company is a VIE, which other company(ies) have a variable interest in the entity, and whether or not the company’s interest is such that it is the primary beneficiary.

We will continue to monitor our relationships with the other entities, which could change based on facts and circumstances of any reconsideration events. Please see Note 20, Related Party Transactions, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, which are consolidated under the voting interest model. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

ARCOA is a group captive insurer owned by us and our wholly owned subsidiaries whose purpose is to provide insurance products related to our moving and storage business.

Life Insurance provides life and health insurance products, primarily to the senior market, through the direct writing and reinsuring of life insurance, Medicare supplement and annuity policies.

Note 3. Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting policies that we deem most critical to us and that require management’s most difficult and subjective judgments include the principles of consolidation, the recoverability of property, plant and equipment, the adequacy of insurance reserves, the recognition and measurement of impairments for investments accounted for under ASC 320 -Investments -Debt and Equity Securities and the recognition and measurement of income tax assets and liabilities. The actual results experienced by us may materially differ from management’s estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider cash equivalents to be highly liquid debt securities with insignificant interest rate risk with original maturities from the date of purchase of three months or less.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each United States financial institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Accounts at each Canadian financial institution are insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000 CAD per account. As of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, we held cash equivalents in excess of these insured limits. To mitigate this risk, we select financial institutions based on their credit ratings and financial strength.

Investments

Fixed Maturities and Marketable Equities. Fixed maturity investments consist of either marketable debt, equity or redeemable preferred stocks. As of the balance sheet dates, all of our investments in these securities were classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale investments are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses recorded net of taxes and applicable adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether the security is below investment grade. For securities that are below investment grade, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors such as the interest rate environment. Declines in value due to credit are recognized as an allowance. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse market conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, cumulative default rates based on ratings are used to determine the potential cost of default, by year. The present value of these potential costs is then compared to the amortized cost of the security to determine the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis.

Declines in fair value that have not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses, such as declines due to changes in market interest rates, are recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. If we intend to sell a security, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the security is written down to its fair value and the write down is charged against the allowance for credit losses, with any incremental impairment reported in earnings. Reversals of the allowance for credit losses are permitted and should not exceed the allowance amount initially recognized. Changes in the market value of common stocks are recognized in earnings. Fair value for these investments is based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes or discounted cash flows. The cost of investments sold is based on the specific identification method. See Note 24, Allowance for Credit Losses, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Mortgage Loans and Notes on Real Estate. Mortgage loans and notes on real estate are reported at their unpaid balance, net of any allowance for expected losses and any unamortized premium or discount. See Note 24, Allowance for Credit Losses, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recognition of Investment Income. Interest income from fixed maturities and mortgage notes is recognized when earned. Dividends on common and preferred stocks are recognized on the ex-dividend dates. Realized gains and losses on the sale or exchange of investments are recognized at the trade date.

Accrued Interest Receivable

Accrued interest receivables on available-for-sale securities totaled $28.3 million and $29.4 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively and are excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

We have elected not to measure an allowance on accrued interest receivables as our practice is to write off the uncollectible balance that are 90 days or more past due. Furthermore, we have elected to write off accrued interest receivables by reversing interest income.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Our objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage interest rate risk exposure primarily through entering interest rate swap agreements and call options. We do not enter into these instruments for trading purposes. Counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements are major financial institutions. We have elected to apply hedge accounting to our derivatives. Derivatives that are designated in hedging relationships are evaluated for effectiveness using regression analysis at the time they are designated and throughout the hedge period. Derivatives are recognized at fair value on the balance sheet and are classified as prepaid expenses (asset) or accrued expenses (liability) for the Moving and Storage segment and in investment, other for the Life segment. Derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative qualifies and is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in its fair value will be recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), upon the maturity of the hedge relationship, amounts remaining in AOCI are released to earnings. When the cash flow hedge is de-designated, or when the derivative is terminated before maturity, the fair value adjustment to the hedged debt continues to be reported as part of the carrying value of the debt and is recognized in interest expense over the remaining life. See Note 12, Derivatives, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Total$178,155$163,132

(a)

Primarily held for internal usage, including equipment manufacturing and repair

(b)

Primarily held for retail sales

Inventories consist primarily of truck and trailer parts and accessories used to manufacture and repair rental equipment as well as products and accessories available for retail sale. Inventory is held at our owned locations; our independent dealers do not hold any of our inventory. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

Inventory cost is primarily determined using the last-in first-out method (“LIFO”). Inventories valued using LIFO consisted of approximately 95% of the total inventories for both March 31, 2026 and 2025. Had we utilized the first-in first-out method, stated inventory balances would have been $55.1 million and $47.9 million higher as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, the negative effect on income due to liquidation of a portion of the LIFO inventory was $0.3 million, $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Our property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Interest expense, if any, incurred during the initial construction of buildings is considered part of cost. Depreciation is computed for financial reporting purposes using the straight line or an accelerated method based on a declining balance formula over the following estimated useful lives: rental equipment 2-20 years, buildings and improvements 10-55 years and non-rental equipment 3-10 years. Routine maintenance costs are charged to operating expense as they are incurred. (Gains) and losses on dispositions of property, plant and equipment, other than real estate, are netted against depreciation expense when realized. The net amount of (gains) losses, netted against depreciation expense, were $103.9 million, ($13.7) million and ($154.0) million during fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Equipment depreciation is recognized in amounts expected to result in the recovery of estimated residual values upon disposal, i.e., minimize gains or losses. In determining the depreciation rate, historical disposal experience, holding periods and trends in the market for vehicles are reviewed.

We regularly perform reviews to determine whether facts and circumstances exist which indicate that the carrying amount of assets, including estimates of residual value, may not be recoverable or that the useful life of assets are shorter or longer than originally estimated. Reductions in residual values (i.e., the price at which we ultimately expect to dispose of revenue earning equipment) or useful lives will result in an increase in depreciation expense over the remaining life of the equipment. Reviews are performed based on vehicle class, generally the subcategories of trucks and trailers. We assess the recoverability of our assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. We consider factors such as current and expected future market price trends on used vehicles and the expected life of vehicles included in the fleet. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If asset residual values are determined to be recoverable, but the useful lives are shorter or longer than originally estimated, the net book value of the assets is depreciated over the newly determined remaining useful lives.

For our box truck fleet, we utilize an accelerated method of depreciation based upon the declining balances method (2.4 times declining balance). Thus, the book value of a rental truck is reduced under a double declining formula for the first seven years in which approximately 85% of the balance is depreciated. The remaining 15% is then reduced on a straight-line basis to a salvage value by the end of year fifteen. Comparatively, a standard straight-line approach would reduce the asset balance evenly over the life of the truck.

Although we intend to sell our used vehicles for prices approximating book value, the extent to which we realize a gain or loss on the sale of used vehicles is dependent upon various factors including, but not limited to, the general state of the used vehicle market, the age and condition of the vehicle at the time of its disposal and the depreciation rates with respect to the vehicle. We typically sell our used vehicles at our sales centers throughout the United States and Canada, on our website at uhaul.com/trucksales or by phone at 1-866-404-0355. Additionally, we sell a large portion of our pickup and cargo van fleet at automobile dealer auctions.

Receivables

Trade receivables include trade accounts from moving and self-storage customers and dealers, insurance premiums and amounts due from reinsurers, less management’s estimate of expected losses.

Moving and Storage has two primary components of trade receivables, receivables from corporate customers and credit card receivables from sales and rentals of equipment. The Company rents equipment to corporate customers in which payment terms are 30 days.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and assesses each customer’s credit worthiness. In addition, the Company monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains an allowance based upon applying an expected credit loss rate to receivables based on the historical loss rate from similar high risk customers adjusted for current conditions, including any specific customer collection issues identified, and forecasts of economic conditions. For credit card receivables, the Company uses a trailing 13 months average historical chargeback percentage of total credit card receivables. Delinquent account balances are written off after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is remote.

Management believes that the historical loss information it has compiled is a reasonable base on which to determine expected credit losses for trade receivables because the composition of trade receivables as of that date is consistent with that used in developing the historical credit-loss percentages (i.e., the similar risk characteristics of its customers and its lending practices have not changed significantly over time). To adjust the historical loss rates to reflect the effects of these differences in current conditions and forecasted changes, management assigns a rating to each customer which varies dependingon the assessment of risk. Management estimated the loss rate at approximately 3% and 4% as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Management developed this estimate based on its knowledge of past experience. As a result, management applied the applicable credit loss rates to determine the expected credit loss estimate for each aging category.

Reinsurance recoverables include case reserves and actuarial estimates of claims incurred but not reported ("IBNR"). These receivables are not expected to be collected until after the associated claim has been adjudicated and billed to the reinsurer. The reinsurance recoverables allowance for credit losses are not material due to the fact that reinsurance is typically procured from carriers with strong credit ratings. Furthermore, we do not cede losses to a reinsurer if the carrier is deemed financially unable to perform on the contract. Reinsurance recoverables also include insurance ceded to other insurance companies.

The allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables were $3.2 million and $5.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Notes and mortgage receivables include accrued interest and are reduced by discounts and amounts considered by management to be uncollectible.

Policy Benefits and Losses, Claims and Loss Expenses Payable

The liability for future policy benefits for traditional and limited-payment long duration life and health products comprises approximately $369.7 million of the total liability for future policy benefits, or approximately 39% of the consolidated Policy Benefits and Losses, Claims and Loss Expenses Payable. The liability is determined each reporting period based on the net level premium method. This method requires the liability for future policy benefits be calculated as the present value of estimated future policyholder benefits and the related termination expenses, less the present value of estimated future net premiums to be collected from policyholders. Net level premiums reflect a recomputed net premium ratio using actual experience since the issue date or the "Transition Date" of April 1, 2021, due to the adoption of ASU 2018-12, and expected future experience. The liability is accrued as premium revenue are received and is recognized and adjusted for differences between actual and expected experience. Long-duration insurance contracts issued by the Company are grouped into cohorts based on the contract issue year, distribution channel, legal entity and product type.

Both the present value of expected future benefit payments and the present value of expected future net premiums are based primarily on assumptions of discount rates, mortality, morbidity, lapse, and persistency. Each quarter, the Company remeasures its liability for future policy benefits using current discount rates with the effect of the change recognized in Other Comprehensive Income, a component of stockholders’ equity. In addition, the Company recognizes a liability remeasurement gain or loss using original discount rates, and relating to actual experience under the net premium calculation, as compared to the prior reporting period expected cash flows.

The Company reviews, and updates as necessary, its cash flow assumptions (mortality, morbidity, lapses and persistency) used to calculate the change in the liability for future policy benefits at least annually. These cash flow assumptions are reviewed at the same time every year, or more frequently, if suggested by experience. If cash flow assumptions are changed, the net premium ratio is recalculated from the original issue date, or the Transition Date, using actual experience and projected future cash flows. When the expected future net premiums exceed the expected future gross premiums, or the present value of future policyholder benefits exceeds the present value of expected future gross premiums, the liability for future policy benefits is adjusted with changes recognized in policyholder benefits. The cash flow assumptions do not include an adjustment for adverse deviation. Mortality tables used for individual life insurance include various industry tables and reflect modifications based on Company experience. Morbidity assumptions for individual health are based on Company experience and industry data. Lapse and persistency assumptions are based on Company experience.

The liability for future policy benefits is discounted as noted above, using a current upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yield that reflects the duration characteristics of the liability for future policy benefits. The methodology for determining current discount rates consists of constructing a discount rate curve intended to be reflective of the currency and tenor of the insurance liability cash flows. The methodology is designed to prioritize observable inputs based on market data available in the local debt markets denominated in the same currency as the policies. For the discount rates applicable to tenors for which the single-A debt market is not liquid or there is little or no observable market data, the Company will use estimation techniques consistent with the fair value guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. We further accrete interest as a component of policyholder benefits using the original discount rate that is locked in during the year of contract issuance. The original discount rates (or the locked-in discount rates) are used for interest accretion purposes and for the determination of net premiums, whereas the current discount rates are used for purposes of valuing the liability. For limited-payment contracts, a deferred profit liability is also recorded, with changes recognized in income over the life of the contract in proportion to the amount of insurance in-force.

Property & Casualty

Property and Casualty Insurance’s liability for reported and unreported losses is based on Repwest’s historical data along with industry averages. The liability for unpaid loss adjustment expenses is based on historical ratios of loss adjustment expenses paid to losses paid. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers on unpaid losses are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liability associated with the reinsured policy. Adjustments to the liability for unpaid losses and loss expenses as well as amounts recoverable from reinsurers on unpaid losses are charged or credited to expense in the periods in which they are made.

Due to the nature of the underlying risks and high degree of uncertainty associated with the determination of the liability for future policy benefits and claims, the amounts to be ultimately paid to settle these liabilities cannot be precisely determined and may vary significantly from the estimated liability, especially for long-tailed casualty lines of business such as excess workers’ compensation. As a result of the long-tailed nature of the excess workers’ compensation policies written by Repwest from 1983 through 2001, it may take a number of years for claims to be fully reported and finally settled.

On a regular basis, insurance reserve adequacy is reviewed by management to determine if existing assumptions need to be updated. In determining the assumptions for calculating workers’ compensation reserves, management considers multiple factors including the following:

Claimant longevity;

Cost trends associated with claimant treatments;

Changes in ceding entity and third-party administrator reporting practices;

Changes in environmental factors including legal and regulatory;

Current conditions affecting claim settlements; and

Future economic conditions, including inflation.

We have reserved each claim based upon the accumulation of current claim costs projected through each claimant’s life expectancy and then adjusted for applicable reinsurance arrangements. Management reviews each claim bi-annually, or more frequently if there are changes in facts or circumstances, to determine if the estimated life-time claim costs have increased and then adjusts the reserve estimate accordingly at that time. We have factored in an estimate of what the potential cost increases could be in our IBNR liability. We have not assumed settlement of the existing claims in calculating the reserve amount, unless it is in the final stages of completion.

Continued increases in claim costs, including medical inflation and new treatments and medications could lead to future adverse development resulting in additional reserve strengthening. Conversely, settlement of existing claims or if injured workers return to work or expire prematurely, could lead to future positive development.

Self-Insurance Liabilities

U-Haul retains the risk for certain public liability and third-party property damage claims related to our rental equipment. The consolidated balance sheets include $453.4 million and $360.8 million of liabilities related to these programs as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These liabilities represent an estimate for both reported claims not yet paid and claims incurred but not yet reported and are recorded on an undiscounted basis in policy benefits and losses, claims and loss expenses payable. Requirements are based on actuarial evaluations of historical accident claims expense and trends, as well as future projection of ultimate losses, expenses and administrative costs. The adequacy of the liability is monitored based on evolving claim history. This liability is subject to change in the future based upon changes in the underlying assumptions including claims experience, frequency of incidents, and severity of incidents.

U-Haul has operated a self-insurance program for general liability coverage related to risks arising from U-Haul's moving operations since 2002. The Company maintains excess of loss coverage with third-party insurers for losses in excess of specific limits.

Additionally, as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the consolidated balance sheets include liabilities of $29.6 million and $25.6 million, respectively, related to medical plan benefits we provide for eligible employees. We estimate this liability based on actual claims outstanding as of the balance sheet date as well as an actuarial estimate of IBNR claims. These amounts are recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.

Liability from Investment Contracts

Liability from investment contracts represents the amount held by the Company on behalf of the policyholder at each reporting date. This amount includes deposits received from the policyholder, interest credited to the policyholder's account balance, net of charges assessed against the account balance and any policyholder withdrawals. This balance also includes liabilities for annuities and certain other contracts that do not contain significant insurance risk, as well as the estimated fair value of embedded derivatives associated with indexed annuity products. The liability from investment contracts for annuity and interest sensitive life-type products is represented by policy account value. The consolidated balance sheets include $2,357.5 and $2,511.4 million of liabilities for these contracts as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Self-moving rentals are recognized for the period that trucks and moving equipment are rented. Self-storage revenues, based upon the number of paid storage contract days, are recognized as earned during the period. Sales of self-moving and self-storage related products are recognized when control transfers to the customer. Property and casualty insurance premiums are recognized as revenue over the policy periods. Traditional life and Medicare supplement insurance premiums are recognized as revenue over the premium-paying periods of the contracts when due from the policyholders. For products where premiums are due over a significantly shorter duration than the period over which benefits are provided, such as our single premium whole life product, premiums are recognized when received and excess profits are deferred and recognized in relation to the insurance in force. Interest and investment income are recognized as earned.

Amounts collected from customers for sales tax are recorded on a net basis. Please see Note 23, Revenue Recognition, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Leases

Lessor

We have determined that revenues derived by providing self-moving equipment rentals, self-storage rentals and certain other revenues, including U-Box rentals, are within the scope of the accounting guidance contained in Topic 842.

We combined all lease and non-lease components of lease contracts for which the timing and pattern of transfer are the same and the lease component meets the classification of an operating lease, and account for them in accordance with Topic 842. The Company offers support equipment rentals which are deemed lease components. In connection with equipment and self-storage rentals, the Company also offers value added services such as insurance, which are deemed non-lease components. The revenue streams accounted for in accordance with Topic 842 are recognized evenly over the period of rental. Please see Note 23, Revenue Recognition, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Lessee

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases, which are comprised primarily of storage rental locations, can have lease terms generally between 2 and 20 years, except for our easements which are indefinite in term, are included in ROU assets – operating, net and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases, which are comprised primarily of rental equipment leases, with primarily 7-year terms are included in ROU assets - financing, net, and notes, loans and finance leases payable, net in our consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected remaining lease term. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date, including the rate for a fully collateralized loan that can either be fully amortized or financed with a residual at the end of the lease term, for a borrower with similar credit quality in order to determine the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which are included in the calculation of ROU assets when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. Covenants include the Company’s responsibility for all maintenance and repairs during the term of the agreement. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are not accounted for separately. Additionally, for certain leases, we apply a portfolio approach to account for the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities as the leases are similar in nature and have nearly identical contract provisions.

The Company’s equipment sale-leaseback transactions primarily consist of seven-year arrangements with repurchase options that do not qualify for sale accounting under ASC 842. Consequently, the underlying assets remain on the consolidated balance sheets, and the related proceeds are recorded as financing liabilities. Pre-adoption transactions were previously accounted for as capital leases and reclassified as finance lease right-of-use assets and liabilities upon adoption. All such arrangements have been terminated, resulting in a zero balance as of the current fiscal year-end.

For these financing arrangements, interest expense is generally calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. However, in accordance with ASC 842-40-30-6, the rate is adjusted as necessary to prevent a built-in loss or gain at the conclusion of the arrangement. This adjustment ensures the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed the financial liability at the earlier of the lease term end or asset control transfer date, aligns with lender-agreed principal repayment structures, and causes the liability to amortize to zero. This methodology accurately reflects the substantive economics of the financing agreements. See Note 18, Leases, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosures.

Advertising

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $17.1 million, $15.3 million and $13.8 million in fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are included in operating expenses.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

Deferred acquisition costs (“DAC") are directly related to the successful acquisition of new life insurance, annuity and health business, and primarily include sales commissions, policy issue costs, direct to consumer advertising costs, and underwriting costs. These costs are capitalized on a grouped contract basis and amortized over the expected term of the related contracts. These costs are not capitalized until they are incurred. Also recorded within DAC are sales inducements credited to policyholder account balances in the form of a premium bonus (“Sales Inducement Assets”). As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Sales Inducement Assets included with DAC amounted to $12.2 million and $13.6 million, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet and amortization expense totaled $2.0 million, $1.9 million and $2.9 million for the periods ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

DAC is amortized on a constant-level basis over the expected term of the grouped contracts, with the related expense included in amortization of deferred acquisition costs. The in-force metric used to compute the DAC amortization rate is premium deposit in-force for deferred annuities, policy count in-force for health insurance, and face amount in-force for life insurance. The assumptions used to amortize acquisition costs include mortality, morbidity, lapses and persistency. These assumptions are reviewed at least annually and revised in conjunction with any change in the future policy benefit assumptions. The effect of changes in the assumptions are recognized over the remaining expected contract term as a revision of future amortization amounts.

Environmental Costs

Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and remedial efforts, if applicable, are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The amount of the liability is based on management’s best estimate of undiscounted future costs. Certain recoverable environmental costs related to the removal of underground storage tanks or related contamination are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the properties. These costs are capitalized if they improve the safety or efficiency of the property or are incurred in preparing the property for sale.

Income Taxes

U-Haul Holding Company files a consolidated tax return with all of its legal U.S. subsidiaries. The provision for income taxes reflects deferred income taxes resulting from changes in temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequence for those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Earnings Per Share

See Note 4, Earnings Per Share, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss), on a tax effected basis, consists of net earnings, foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains and losses on investments and future policy benefits discount rate remeasurement gains (losses), the change in fair value of cash flow hedges and the change in postretirement benefit obligations.

Debt Issuance Costs

We defer costs directly associated with acquiring third-party financing. Debt issuance costs are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs related to our long-term debt are reflected as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt. Please see Note 10, Notes, Loans and Finance Leases Payable, net, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income tax paid. ASU 2023-09 was effective and adopted by the Company for the period beginning April 1, 2025 and the Company applied this standard prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not require an implementation adjustment and did not impact the Company's consolidated net earnings available to common stockholders or cash flow. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 resulted in incremental disclosure. See Note 15, Provision for Taxes, for the updated disclosures.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2024, the SEC issued a final rule that requires disclosure of: (i) financial statement impacts of severe weather events and other natural conditions; (ii) a roll forward of carbon offset and renewable energy credit balances if material to the Company's plan to achieve climate-related targets or goals; and (iii) material impacts on estimates and assumptions in the financial statements. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order staying the final rule pending judicial review of consolidated challenges to the rules by the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. In March 2025, the SEC notified the Court that it was withdrawing its defense of the rules. The Court subsequently held the litigation in abeyance, pending a status report from the SEC on: (1) whether the SEC intends to review or reconsider the rules; (2) if taking no action, whether the SEC would adhere to the rules if petitions for review are denied; and (3) if not, why the SEC will not review or reconsider the rules at this time. In July 2025, the SEC provided its status report to the Court, stating that the SEC does not intend to review or reconsider the rules at this time, and declined to provide a definitive response to questions 2 or 3. The SEC further advised that given the previously expressed views of a majority of the current Commissioners, it is possible that the SEC would consider whether to replace, rescind, or modify the rules. The Company cannot determine at this time the future outcome of the litigation or future actions of the SEC.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"). In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement- Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-30): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarified the effective date of this standard. The standard requires the disclosure of additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The standard allows for adoption on a prospective or retrospective basis. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) which provides public companies with a practical expedient in developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. All entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. Early adoption is permitted. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard and do not anticipate the adoption to be material to the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)which amends Subtopic 350-40 by removing all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages previously used to determine the timing of software cost capitalization. Instead, the new guidance establishes that an entity should begin capitalizing software costs when both of the following conditions are met: 1) Management has authorized and committed funding for the software project. 2) It is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended functional purpose. These changes are intended to align software cost capitalization practices with a more principles-based approach, improving consistency and comparability across entities. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. We are currently assessing the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements, which provides clarification on certain topics which are meant to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of the entities' risk management activities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The amendment should apply on a prospective basis for all hedging relationships. An entity may elect to adopt the amendment for hedging relationships that exist as of the date of adoption. Upon adoption entities are permitted to modify certain critical terms of certain hedging relationships without de-designating the hedge. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. Topic 270 addresses required disclosures, including that entities must disclose any events that had a material impact since their last annual reporting period and clarifies types of interim reporting and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The standard is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendment may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 4. Earnings Per Share

We calculate earnings per share using the two-class method in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. The two-class method allocates the undistributed earnings available to common stockholders to the Company’s outstanding common stock, $0.25 par value (the “Voting Common Stock”) and the Company's Series N Non-Voting Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Non-Voting Common Stock”) based on each share’s percentage of total weighted average shares outstanding. The Voting Common Stock and the Non-Voting Common Stock are allocated 10% and 90%, respectively, of our undistributed earnings available to common stockholders. This represents earnings available to common stockholders less the dividends declared for both the Voting Common Stock and the Non-Voting Common Stock.

Our undistributed earnings per share is calculated by taking the undistributed earnings available to common stockholders and dividing this number by the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective stock. If there was a dividend declared for that period, the dividend per share is added to the undistributed earnings per share to calculate the basic and diluted earnings per share. The process is used for both the Voting Common Stock and the Non-Voting Common Stock.

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ending March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024 for the Voting Common Stock and the Non-Voting Common Stock is as follows:

Real Estate Backed Loans

Real Estate Loan

Certain subsidiaries of Real Estate and U-Haul Co. of Florida are borrowers under real estate loans. These loans require monthly or quarterly principal and interest payments, with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. These loans are secured by various properties owned by the borrowers. The interest rates, per the provisions of $180.9 million of these loans, are the applicable secured overnight funding rate (“SOFR”) plus the applicable margins and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. As of March 31, 2026, the applicable SOFR was between 3.66% and 3.67% and the applicable margin was between 0.65% and 1.38%, the sum of which, including the credit spread, was between 4.41% and 5.14%. The remaining $73.1 million of these loans was fixed with an interest rate of 4.30%. The default provisions of these real estate loans include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. We are in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2026.

The senior mortgages are secured by certain properties owned by the borrowers. The fixed interest rates, per the provisions of the senior mortgages, range between 2.70% and 6.05%. Certain senior mortgages have an anticipated repayment date and a maturity date. If these senior mortgages are not repaid by the anticipated repayment date, the interest rate on these mortgages would increase from the current fixed rate. We are using the anticipated repayment date for our maturity schedule. Real Estate and U-Haul have provided limited guarantees of the senior mortgages. The default provisions of the senior mortgages include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. We are in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2026. There are limited restrictions regarding our use of the funds.

Real Estate Loans (Revolving Credit)

U-Haul Holding Company is a borrower under a multi-bank syndicated real estate loan. As of March 31, 2026, the maximum credit commitment is $465.0 million. As of March 31, 2026, the full capacity was available to borrow. This loan agreement provides for revolving loans, subject to the terms of the loan agreement. This loan requires monthly interest payments with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. The default provisions of the loan include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. We are in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2026. There is a 0.25% fee charged for unused capacity.

Fleet Loans

Rental Truck Amortizing Loans

The amortizing loans require monthly principal and interest payments, with the unpaid loan balance and accrued and unpaid interest due at maturity. These loans were used to purchase new trucks. The interest rates, per the provision of the loan agreements, are carried at fixed rates ranging between 1.61% and 6.02%. All of our rental truck amortizing loans are collateralized by the rental equipment purchased. The majority of these loans are funded at 70%, but some may be funded at 100%. U-Haul Holding Company is guarantor of these loans. The default provisions of these loans include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. We are in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2026. The net book value of the corresponding rental equipment was $228.6 million and $234.7 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Rental Truck Revolvers

Various subsidiaries of U-Haul entered into three revolving fleet loans with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $635.0 million. The aggregate outstanding balance for these revolvers as of March 31, 2026 was $635.0 million. The interest rates, per the provision of the loan agreements, are SOFR plus the applicable margin and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% on certain loans. As of March 31, 2026, SOFR was 3.67% and the margin was between 1.15% and 1.25%, the sum of which, including the credit spread, was between 4.92% and 5.02%. Of the $635.0 million outstanding, $87.5 million was fixed with an interest rate of 4.36%. Only interest is paid on the loans until the last nine months of the respective loan terms when principal becomes due monthly. The default provisions of the loan include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. We are in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2026. These fleet loans are collateralized by the rental equipment purchased. The net book value of the corresponding rental equipment was $710.7 million and $918.2 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Finance Leases

The Finance Lease balance represents our sale-leaseback transactions of rental equipment. The agreements were generally seven (7) year terms. All of our finance leases were collateralized by our rental fleet. The net book value of the corresponding rental equipment was $138.7 million as of March 31, 2025. There were no new financing leases, as assessed under the new leasing guidance, entered into during fiscal 2026. The finance leases were paid off as of March 31, 2026.

Finance Liabilities

Finance liabilities represent our rental equipment financing transactions, and we assess if these sale-leaseback transactions qualify as a sale at initiation by determining if a transfer of ownership occurs. We have determined that our equipment sale-leasebacks do not qualify as a sale, as the buyer-lessors do not obtain control of the assets in our ongoing sale-leaseback arrangements. As a result, these sale-leasebacks are accounted for as a financial liability and the leased assets are capitalized at cost. Our finance liabilities have an average term of seven (7) years and interest rates ranging from 1.60% to 6.80%. These finance liabilities are collateralized by the related assets of our rental fleet. The net book value of the corresponding rental equipment was $3,020.6 million and $2,420.7 million as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The default provisions of the loans include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants. We are in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2026.

Private Placements

In September 2021, U-Haul Holding Company entered into a note purchase agreement to issue $600.0 million of fixed rate senior unsecured notes in a private placement offering. These notes consist of four tranches each totaling $150.0 million and funded in September 2021. The fixed interest rates range between 2.43% and 2.78% with maturities between 2029 and 2033.

We are in compliance with the covenants as of March 31, 2026.

In December 2021, U-Haul Holding Company entered into a note purchase agreement to issue $600.0 million of fixed rate senior unsecured notes in a private placement offering. These notes consist of three tranches each totaling $100.0 million and two tranches each totaling $150.0 million. The fixed interest rates range between 2.55% and 2.88% with maturities between 2030 and 2035. Interest is payable semiannually. The default provisions of the loan include non-payment of principal or interest and other standard reporting and change-in-control covenants.

Other Obligations

In February 2011, U-Haul Holding Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, NA, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”), entered into the U-Haul Investors Club Indenture. U-Haul Holding Company and the Trustee entered into this indenture to provide for the issuance of notes by us directly to investors over our proprietary website, uhaulinvestorsclub.com (“U-Notes”). The U-Notes are secured by various types of collateral, including, but not limited to, certain rental equipment and real estate. U-Notes are issued in smaller series that vary as to principal amount, interest rate and maturity. U-Notes are obligations of the Company and secured by the associated collateral; they are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s affiliates or subsidiaries.

As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the U-Notes issued was $64.8 million, of which $1.4 million is held by our insurance subsidiaries and eliminated in consolidation, and $19.3 million is held by related parties. Interest rates range between 1.50% and 8.00% and maturity dates range between 2026 and 2049.

Oxford is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and, as such, the FHLB has made deposits with Oxford. As of December 31, 2025, the deposits had an aggregate balance of $85.0 million for which Oxford pays fixed interest rates between 3.93% and 4.52% with maturities between March 31, 2026 and April 2, 2029. As of December 31,2025, available-for-sale investments held with the FHLB totaled $179.2 million, of which $156.3 million were pledged as collateral to secure the outstanding deposits. The balances of these deposits are included within liabilities from investment contracts on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 12. Derivatives

Cash Flow Hedges

We manage exposure to changes in market interest rates. We use interest rate swap agreements and forward swaps to reduce our exposure to changes in interest rates. Our use of derivative instruments is limited to highly effective interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows (future interest payments) attributable to changes in secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") swap rates with the designated benchmark interest rate being hedged on certain of our SOFR indexed variable rate debt. The interest rate swaps effectively fix our interest payments on certain SOFR indexed variable rate debt through July 2032. We monitor our positions and the credit ratings of our counterparties and do not currently anticipate non-performance by the counterparties. Interest rate swap agreements are not entered into for trading purposes. These fair values are determined using pricing valuation models, which include broker quotes for which significant inputs are observable. They include adjustments for counterparty credit quality and other deal-specific factors, where appropriate, and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The derivative fair values reflected in prepaid expense and accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet were as follows:

March 31, 2026 · March 31, 2025
(In thousands)
Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges
Assets$2,449$4,381
Liabilities$256$777
Notional amount$268,407$376,887

(Gains) or losses recognized in income on interest rate derivatives are recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. During fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024, we recognized an increase (decrease) in the fair value of our cash flow hedges of ($3.3) million, $3.7 million and $6.4 million, respectively, net of taxes. During fiscal years 2026, 2025 and 2024, we reclassified $2.6 million, ($10.1) million and ($4.1) million, respectively, from AOCI to interest expense, net of tax. As of March 31, 2026, we expect to reclassify $0.7 million of net gains on interest rate contracts from AOCI to earnings as interest expense over the next twelve months.

Economic Hedges

We use derivatives to economically hedge our equity market exposure to indexed annuity products sold by our Life Insurance company. These contracts earn a return for the contract holder based on the change in the value of the S&P 500 index between annual index point dates. We buy and sell listed equity and index call options and call option spreads. The credit risk is with the party in which the options are written. The net option price is paid up front and there are no additional cash requirements or additional contingent liabilities. These contracts are held at fair value on our balance sheet. These derivative instruments are included in Investments, other and Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of these call options are determined based on quoted market prices from the relevant exchange and are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Derivatives Fair Values as of

Notional amount$310,104$326,218

Although the call options are employed to be effective hedges against our policyholder obligations from an economic standpoint, they do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting under GAAP. Accordingly, the changes in fair value of the call options are recognized each reporting date as a component of net investment and interest income. The changes in fair value of the call options include the gains or losses recognized at the expiration of the option term and the changes in fair value for open contracts. Net gains recognized in net investment and interest income for fiscal year 2026 and 2025 were $4.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

Income taxes paid in each state did not exceed 5% of total taxes paid during the year ended March 31, 2026.

We have adopted the changes issued by FASB in ASU 2023-09. These changes modify the rules on income tax disclosures, and require the disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, income taxes paid to federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions, and income from continuing operations before income taxes in domestic and foreign jurisdictions. As such, we have updated the income tax disclosure presentation for the year ended March 31, 2026 on a prospective basis to reflect the new guidance.

The difference between the tax provision at the statutory federal income tax rate and the tax provision attributable to income before taxes was as follows:

Year Ended March 31,
(In thousands, except for percentages)

During the year ended March 31, 2026, state taxes in Arizona, Florida and Texas made up the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect of the state and local income tax category.

As previously disclosed for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, prior to adoption of ASU 2023-09, the difference between the tax provision at the statutory federal income tax rate and the tax provision attributable to income before taxes was as follows:

The net operating loss ("NOL") and credit carry-forwards in the above table are primarily attributable to $1,076.0 million of federal NOLs and $1,155.0 million of state NOLs. The federal NOLs as of March 31, 2026 have an indefinite life, but are subject to utilization limitations of 80% of taxable income. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, we had state NOLs of $1,155.0 million and $816.8 million, respectively, that will expire between fiscal 2027 and 2046 for most jurisdictions, if not utilized. There is also $3.8 million of federal credit carryforwards and $3.9 million of state credit carryforwards. The federal credit carryovers will expire in fiscal year 2047 if they are not used. Whereas the state credit carryovers will expire between fiscal years 2031 and 2037.

The IRS completed and finalized their examination for tax years March 2014 through March 2021. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, we received $2.4 million related to this examination. We received another $117.0 million related to this examination during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. We are owed $10.0 million which is reflected in prepaid expense, plus interestof $2.0 million, which is reflected in trade receivables and reinsurance recoverables, net. The refund is being processed by the Centralized Case Processing department of the IRS.

No additional income taxes have been provided for any remaining undistributed foreign earnings or any additional outside basis difference inherent in these entities, as these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. Determining the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to any remaining undistributed foreign earnings not subject to the transition tax and additional outside basis difference in these entities (i.e., basis difference in excess of that subject to the one-time transition tax) is not practicable.

We account for uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing the tax benefit or expense from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits and expenses recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

A reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning and end of the period are as follows:

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Unrecognized tax benefits ending balance$92,823$83,597

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 are $73.3 million and $66.0 million, respectively, of tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.

We recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as income tax expenses. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the amount of interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits was $19.3 million and $13.3 million, respectively, net of tax. During the current year, we recorded a benefit from interest in the amount of $6.0 million, net of tax. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the amount of penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits was $24.8 million and $21.8 million. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recorded expense from penalties in the amount of $3.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and Canadian jurisdictions. While the Company has ongoing audits in various state jurisdictions, there have been no proposed or anticipated adjustments that would materially impact the consolidated financial statements. Our tax years remain open for examination by federal authorities for three years, state authorities for three to four years and Canadian authorities for four years.

The Canadian government issued draft Pillar Two legislation (Global Minimum Tax Act) on June 20, 2024. The Canadian legislation went into effect for our fiscal year beginning April 1, 2024. We have performed an assessment of the potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes. Based on the assessment performed, the Pillar Two rules did not have an impact on the income tax provision or cash taxes for this year. We will continue to evaluate such legislation.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill ("OBBB") was enacted into law. OBBB extends the expiring tax provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, reinstates immediate expensing of qualified business property and bonus depreciation and allows for full expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures. We have evaluated the tax provisions of OBBB and the impact to our financial statements, and the newly enacted legislation does not have a material impact on our effective tax rate.

Note 16. Employee Benefit Plans

Profit Sharing Plans

We provide tax-qualified profit sharing retirement plans for the benefit of eligible employees, former employees and retirees in the United States and Canada. The plans are designed to provide employees with an accumulation of funds for retirement on a tax-deferred basis and provide for annual discretionary employer contributions. Amounts to be contributed are determined by the President and Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company under the delegation of authority from the Board, pursuant to the terms of the Profit Sharing Plan. No contributions were made to the profit sharing plan during fiscal 2026, 2025 or 2024.

We also provide an employee savings plan which allows participants to defer income under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

ESOP Plan

We sponsor an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) that generally covers all employees with one year or more of service. The ESOP began as a leveraged plan where shares were pledged as collateral for its debt which was originally funded by U-Haul. We made annual contributions to the ESOP equal to the ESOP’s debt service. As the debt was repaid, shares were released from collateral and allocated to active employees, based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. ESOP shares were committed to be released monthly and ESOP compensation expense was recorded based on the current market price at the end of the month. These shares then become outstanding for the earnings per share computations. In fiscal 2021 we de-levered the plan and now contributions are made at the discretion of management with expense being recognized upon the decision to contribute. ESOP compensation expense was $31.6 million, $30.2 million and $23.9 million for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which are included in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

In fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, the Company made non-leveraged contributions of $31.6 million, $30.2 million and $23.9 million, respectively to the Plan Trust. During fiscal 2026 and 2025 and 2024 ESOP purchased for allocation 665,589,469,998 and 365,544, respectively, of non-leveraged Non-Voting Common Stock shares.

Shares held by the ESOP were as follows:

Post Retirement and Post Employment Benefits

We provide a health reimbursement benefit to our eligible U.S. employees and their legal spouses upon retirement from the Company. For retirees between the ages of 62-64 with 35 or more years of full-time service, or ages 65 or higher with 25 or more years of full-time service or who were born in 1960 or earlier and hired in 2005 or earlier with 20 years of full-time service upon retirement to be awarded the health reimbursement benefit. The health reimbursement benefit is capped at a $20,000 lifetime maximum per covered person. Reimbursements are for amounts requested that are paid out of pocket after Medicare and any other medical policies in force.

In addition, retirees who have attained agesixty-five and earned at least twenty years of full-time service upon retirement from the Company are entitled to group term life insurance benefits. The life insurance benefit is $3,000 plus $100 for each year of employment over twenty years. The benefits are not funded, and claims are paid as they are incurred. We use a March 31 measurement date for our post retirement benefit disclosures.

In December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 became law. Net periodic post retirement benefit cost above includes the effect of the subsidy. The discount rate represents the expected yield on a portfolio of high grade (AA to AAA rated or equivalent) fixed income investments with cash flow streams sufficient to satisfy benefit obligations under the plan when due. Fluctuations in the discount rate assumptions primarily reflect changes in U.S. interest rates.

Note 17. Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and are measured and classified based upon a three-tiered approach to valuation. Financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value and are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in markets that are not considered to be active, or similar financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means; and

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and are unobservable. These reflect management’s assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair values of investments available-for-sale are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes or discounted cash flows.

Fair values of derivatives are based on pricing valuation models which include broker quotes.

The following tables represent the financial assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy.

We estimate the fair value for financial instruments not carried at fair value using the same methods and assumptions as those we carry at fair value. The financial instruments presented below are reported at carrying value on the consolidated balance sheets.

Cash equivalents were $830.4 million and $700.0 million as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Fair values of cash equivalents approximate carrying value due to the short period of time to maturity.

Fair values of mortgage loans and notes on real estate are based on quoted market prices, dealer quotes or discounted cash flows. Fair values of trade receivables approximate their recorded value.

Our financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash investments, trade receivables and notes receivable. Limited credit risk exists on trade receivables due to the diversity of our customer base and their dispersion across broad geographic markets. We place our temporary cash investments with financial institutions and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution.

We have mortgage loans, which potentially expose us to credit risk. The portfolio of loans is principally collateralized by self-storage facilities and commercial properties. We have not experienced any material losses related to the loans from individual or groups of loans in any particular industry or geographic area. The estimated fair values were determined using the discounted cash flow method and using interest rates currently offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings.

The carrying and fair value of interest sensitive contract liabilities below includes fixed indexed and traditional fixed annuities without mortality or morbidity risks, funding agreements and payout annuities without life contingencies. The embedded derivatives within fixed indexed annuities without mortality or morbidity risks are excluded, as they are carried at fair value. The valuation of the investment contracts is based on discounted cash flow methodologies using significant unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value is determined using currently credited market interest rates.

Other investments are substantially current or bear reasonable interest rates. As a result, the carrying values of these financial instruments approximate fair value.

The following tables represent our financial instruments not carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets and corresponding placement in the fair value hierarchy:

Note 18. Leases

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are not accounted for separately. Additionally, for certain leases, we apply a portfolio approach to account for the operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and liabilities as the leases are similar in nature and have nearly identical contract provisions. These leases, which are comprised primarily of storage rental locations, can have lease terms generally between 2 and 20 years. Covenants include the Company’s responsibility for all maintenance and repairs during the term of the agreement.

Our equipment sale/leaseback transactions do not qualify as a sale. Equipment leases prior to adoption of ASC 842 were recorded as capital leases and classified as finance lease ROU assets and liabilities upon adoption. New sale leaseback transactions that fail to qualify as a sale are accounted for as a financial liability. We use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date, including the rate for a fully collateralized loan that can either be fully amortized or financed with a residual at the end of the lease term, for a borrower with similar credit quality in order to determine the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms are generally 7 years, may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which are included in the calculation of ROU assets when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Please see Note 10, Notes, Loans and Finance Leases Payable, net, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Note 19. Contingencies

Environmental

Compliance with environmental requirements of federal, state, provincial and local governments may affect the Company's business operations. Among other things, these requirements regulate the discharge of materials into the air, land and water and govern the use and disposal of hazardous substances. The Company is aware of issues regarding hazardous substances on some of its properties. The Company regularly makes capital and operating expenditures to stay in compliance with environmental laws and has put in place a remedial plan at each site where it believes such a plan is necessary.

Based upon the information currently available to the Company, compliance with environmental laws and its share of the costs of investigation and cleanup of known hazardous waste sites are not expected to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Other

We are named as a defendant in various other claims and litigation arising out of the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, none of such other claims and litigation will have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Note 21. Reportable Segment Information

Our Chief Executive Officer serves as our chief operating decision-maker ("CODM"). The CODM uses net earnings available to common stockholders for each reportable segment in the annual budgeting and monthly forecasting processes and as a basis for making decisions about allocating capital and other resources to each segment and assessing performance.

U-Haul Holding Company has identified three reportable segments, which are consistent with its operating segments and are organized based primarily on the nature of services provided, as follows:

Moving and Storage operations consist of the rental of trucks and trailers, sales of moving supplies, sales of towing accessories, sales of propane, and the rental of fixed and portable moving and storage units to the "do-it-yourself" mover and management of self-storage properties owned by others. Operations are conducted under the registered trade name U-Haul throughout the United States and Canada.

Property and Casualty Insurance provides loss adjusting and claims handling for U-Haul through regional offices in the United States and Canada. Property and Casualty Insurance also underwrites components of the Safemove, Safetow, Safemove Plus, Safestor and Safehaul protection packages to U-Haul customers.

The amounts presented in the following tables represent gross amounts at each segment before the elimination column. Intersegment revenues are not presented as they are immaterial.

We track revenues separately, but do not report any separate measure of the profitability for rental vehicles, rentals of self-storage spaces and sales of products. The information includes elimination entries necessary to consolidate U-Haul Holding Company, the parent, with its subsidiaries. Depreciation, net of gains on disposals, and total expenditures for property and equipment are only recorded within the Moving and Storage segment.

Revenues and net earnings available to common stockholders by reportable segment for the year ended March 31, 2026 were as follows:

Note 23. Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognized in Accordance with ASC Topic 606

ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, outlines a five-step model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The standard applies to all contracts with customers except for leases, insurance contracts, financial instruments, certain nonmonetary exchanges and certain guarantees. The standard also requires disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments.

We enter into contracts that may include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized net of amounts collected from customers for taxes, such as sales tax, and remitted to the applicable taxing authorities. We account for a contract under Topic 606 when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. For contracts scoped into this standard, revenue is recognized when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied by means of transferring goods or services to the customer as applicable to each revenue stream as discussed below. There were no material contract assets or liabilities for both fiscal 2026 and 2025.

Sales of self-moving and self-storage related products are recognized at the time that title passes and the customer accepts delivery. The performance obligations identified for this portfolio of contracts include moving and storage product sales, installation services and/or propane sales. Each of these performance obligations has an observable stand-alone selling price. We concluded that the performance obligations identified are satisfied at a point in time. The basis for this conclusion is that the customer does not receive the product/propane or benefit from the installation services until the related performance obligation is satisfied. These products/services being provided have an alternative use as they are not customized and can be sold/provided to any customer. In addition, we only have the right to receive payment once the products have been transferred to the customer or the installation services have been completed. Although product sales have a right of return policy, our estimated obligation for future product returns is not material to the financial statements at this time.

Property management fees are recognized over the period that agreed-upon services are provided. The performance obligation for this portfolio of contracts is property management services, which represents a series of distinct days of service, each of which is comprised of activities that may vary from day to day. However, those tasks are activities to fulfill the property management services and are not separate promises in the contract. We determined that each increment of the promised service is distinct. This is because the customer can benefit from each increment of service on its own and each increment of service is separately identifiable because no day of service significantly modifies or customizes another and no day of service significantly affects either the entity’s ability to fulfill another day of service or the benefit to the customer of another day of service. As such, we concluded that the performance obligation is satisfied over time. Additionally, in certain contracts the Company has the ability to earn an incentive fee based on operational results. We measure and recognize the progress toward completion of the performance obligation on a quarterly basis using the most likely amount method to determine an accrual for the incentive fee portion of the compensation received in exchange for the property management service. The variable consideration recognized is subject to constraints due to a range of possible consideration amounts based on actual operational results.

Other revenue consists of numerous services or rentals, of which U-Box contracts and service fees from Moving Help are the main components. The performance obligations identified for U-Box contracts are fees for rental, storage and shipping of U-Box portable moving and storage units to a specified location, each of which are distinct. A contract may be partially within the scope of Topic 606 and partially within the scope of other topics. The rental and storage obligations in U-Box contracts meet the definition of a lease in Topic 842 (as described below), while the shipping obligation represents a contract with a customer accounted for under Topic 606. Therefore, we allocate the total transaction price between the performance obligations of storage fees and rental fees and the shipping fees on a standalone selling price basis. U-Box shipping fees are collected once the shipment is in transit. Shipping fees in U-Box contracts are set at the initiation of the contract based on the shipping origin and destination, and the performance obligation is satisfied over time. U-Box shipping contracts span over a relatively short period of time, and the majority of these contracts begin and end within the same fiscal year. Moving Help services fees are recognized in accordance with Topic 606. Moving Help services are generated as we provide a neutral venue for the connection between the service provider and the customer for agreed-upon services. We do not control the specified services provided by the service provider before that service is transferred to the customer.

Deferred income primarily relates to payments received from customers prior to satisfaction of our performance obligations. Of the $52.9 million and $51.2 million recorded as unearned revenues as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, $52.8 million and $49.6 million, respectively was recognized as revenue for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Revenue Recognized in Accordance with Topic 842

The Company’s self-moving rental revenues meet the definition of a lease pursuant to the guidance in ASC Topic 842, Leases, because those substitution rights do not provide an economic benefit to the Company that would exceed the cost of exercising the right. Please see Note 18, Leases, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Self-moving equipment rentals are recognized over the contract period that trucks and moving equipment are rented. We offer two types of self-moving rental contracts, one-way rentals and in-town rentals, which have varying payment terms. Customer payment is received at the initiation of the contract for one-way rentals which covers an allowable limit for equipment usage. An estimated fee in the form of a deposit is received at the initiation of the contract for in-town rentals, and final payment is received upon the return of the equipment based on actual fees incurred. Self-moving rental contracts span a relatively short period of time, and the majority of these contracts began and ended within the same fiscal year.

Self-storage revenues are recognized as earned over the contract period based upon the number of paid storage contract days.

We lease portions of our operating properties to tenants under agreements that are classified as operating leases. We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Generally, under the terms of our leases, the majority of our rental expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, are recovered from our customers and these are included in self-storage revenues.

The following table summarizes the minimum lease payments due from our customers and operating property tenants on leases for the next five years and thereafter:

The amounts above do not reflect future rental revenue from the renewal or replacement of existing leases.

Revenue Recognized in Accordance with Other Topics

Traditional life and Medicare supplement insurance premiums are recognized as revenue over the premium-paying periods of the contracts when due from the policyholders. For products where premiums are due over a significantly shorter duration than the period over which benefits are provided, such as our single premium whole life product, premiums are recognized when received and excess profits are deferred and recognized in relation to the insurance in force.

Property and casualty insurance premiums are recognized as revenue over the policy periods. Interest and investment income are recognized as earned.

Net investment and interest income has multiple components. Interest income from bonds and mortgage notes are recognized when earned. Dividends on common and preferred stocks are recognized on the ex-dividend dates. Realized gains and losses on the sale or exchange of investments are recognized at the trade date.

In the following tables, the revenue is disaggregated by timing of revenue recognition:

Years Ended March 31,
2026 · 2025 · 2024
(In thousands)
Revenues recognized over time$367,318$344,401$312,659

Total revenues$6,037,819$5,828,665$5,625,674

In the above table, the revenues recognized over time include property management fees, the shipping fees associated with U-Box rentals and a portion of other revenues. Revenues recognized at a point in time include self-moving equipment rentals, self-moving and self-storage products and service sales and a portion of other revenues.

We recognized liabilities resulting from contracts with customers for self-moving equipment rentals, self-storage revenues, U-Box revenues and tenant revenues, in which the length of the contract goes beyond the reported period end, although rental periods of the equipment, storage and U-Box contract are generally short-term in nature. The timing of revenue recognition results in liabilities that are reflected in deferred income on the balance sheet.

Note 24. Allowance for Credit Losses

Mortgage Loans, Net

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or payoff, are reported at amortized cost. Modeling for the Company’s mortgage loans is based on inputs most highly correlated to defaults, including loan-to-value, occupancy, and payment history. Historical credit loss experience provides additional support for the estimation of expected credit losses. In assessing the credit losses, the portfolio is reviewed on a collective basis, using loan-specific cash flows to determine the fair value of the collateral in the event of default. Adjustments to this analysis are made to assess loans with a loan-to-value of 65% or greater. These loans are evaluated on an individual basis and loan specific risk characteristics such as occupancy levels, expense, income growth and other relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

When management determines that credit losses are expected to occur, an allowance for expected credit losses based on the fair value of the collateral is recorded.

There were no delinquent commercial mortgage loans as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, the Company had no commercial mortgage loans in non-accrual status. The Company had no unfunded commitment balance to commercial loan borrowers as of March 31, 2026.

Reinsurance Recoverables

Reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid benefits was less than 1% of the total assets as of March 31, 2026, which is immaterial based on historical loss experience and high credit rating of the reinsurers.

Premium Receivables

Premium receivables were $1.1 million and $4.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively, in which the credit loss allowance is immaterial based on our ability to cancel the policy if the policyholder does not pay premiums.

The liability for incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses (net of reinsurance recoverable of $29.9 million, $32.4 million and $36.2 million for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively) decreased by $10.8 million, $5.6 million and $20.7 million for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The prior period favorable development for fiscal 2026 was driven primarily by excess workers’ compensation claims, supplemental liability claims and commercial automobile claims. The prior period favorable development for fiscal 2025 and 2024 were driven primarily by excess workers’ compensation claims. These changes are a result of ongoing analysis of claims emergence patterns and loss trends.

To the extent that a reinsurer is unable to meet its obligation under the related reinsurance agreements, Repwest would remain liable for the unpaid losses and loss expenses.

The information about property and casualty incurred and paid loss and loss adjustment expense development for fiscal 2020 through 2026 and the average annual percentage payout of incurred claims by age as of fiscal 2026, is presented as supplementary information.

The amount of dividends that can be paid to stockholders by Oxford and Repwest which are domiciled in the State of Arizona is limited. There are restrictions on the ability of our insurance subsidiaries to transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. Their ordinary dividends are limited to the lower of 10% of prior year statutory surplus or the statutory net gain from operations for the preceding 12 months, if such insurer is a life insurer, or preceding 12 months net income, if such insurer is not a life insurer. Any extraordinary dividend, loans or advances to us from the insurance subsidiaries must be approved by the domiciliary insurance commissioner. Any dividend in excess of the limit requires prior regulatory approval. The statutory surplus for Repwest as of March 31, 2026 that could be distributed as ordinary dividends in fiscal 2027 is $33.3 million. The statutory surplus for Oxford as of March 31, 2026 that could be distributed as ordinary dividends in fiscal 2027 is $15.5 million. Repwest paid a $100.0 million dividend in fiscal 2026 anddid not pay a dividend to U-Haul Holding Company in fiscal 2025 or 2024. Repwest received approval from the Arizona Department of Insurance for the $100.0 million dividend in fiscal 2026, that was in excess of the $38.3 million limit. Oxford did not pay a dividend to U-Haul Holding Company in fiscal 2026, 2025 or 2024. Restricted net assets for Property and Casualty Insurance and Life Insurance were $199.7 million and $230.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

For our insurance subsidiaries, statutory accounting principles (“SAP”) differ from GAAP primarily in that: (i) premiums from deferred annuities are recognized as revenue under SAP, while they are accounted for as liabilities from investment contracts under GAAP; (ii) policy acquisition costs are expensed as incurred under SAP, while DAC is amortized on a constant-level basis over the expected term of the grouped contracts under GAAP; (iii) policy benefits and losses are established using different actuarial assumptions; and (iv) investments are valued on a different basis and valuation allowances attributable to investments are different. In addition, certain assets are not admitted under SAP and are charged directly to surplus.
