Lessor Disclosures

The Company leases revenue equipment to independent contractors and other third parties under operating leases, which generally have terms between three and four years, and include renewal and purchase options. These leases also include variable charges associated with miles driven in excess of the stipulated allowable miles in the contract, which are accounted for separately and presented in the table below. Lease classification is determined based on minimum rental receipts per the agreement, including residual value guarantees, when applicable, as well as receivables due to the Company upon default or cross-default. When independent contractors default on their leases, the Company typically re-leases the equipment to other independent contractors. As such, future lease receipts reflect original leases and re-leases.

The Company's leases to third parties, some of which are subleases, are generally short-term, and may include renewal options.

The owned assets underlying the Company's leases as lessor primarily consist of revenue equipment. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the gross carrying value of such revenue equipment underlying these leases was $37.7 million and $51.9 million, respectively, and accumulated depreciation was $21.1 million and $26.5 million, respectively. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis down to the residual value, as applicable, over the estimated useful life of the equipment. Depreciation expense for these assets was $7.9 million and $12.7 million for 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Additionally, the Company periodically leases or subleases out real estate for use by third parties. These leases have varying terms, and may include renewal options.

Management’s significant assumptions and judgments include the determination of the amount the Company expects to derive from the underlying asset at the end of the lease term, as well as whether a contract contains a lease.
