Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Preparation
Description of Business
RB Global, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”, “RB Global”, "we", "us" or “our”) is a leading, omnichannel marketplace that provides value-added insights, services and transaction solutions for buyers and sellers of commercial assets and vehicles worldwide. The Company has auction sites in 14 countries and a digital platform to serve customers in more than 170 countries across a variety of asset classes, including automotive, commercial transportation, construction, government surplus, lifting and material handling, energy, mining and agriculture.
Basis of Preparation
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and accordingly, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 26, 2025.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and entities consolidated under U.S. GAAP and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for fair financial statement presentation. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts in the following tables are in millions except per share amounts.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company's most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements. The following accounting policy was applied during the interim period as a result of the LKQ SYNETIQ transaction described in Note 14.
Equity Method Investments
The Company accounts for investments which it does not control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over, by applying the equity method of accounting pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The Company's share of income and losses of equity method investees and impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated income statements during the period that they are incurred. The Company presents distributions received from equity method investees in the consolidated statements of cash flows based on the cumulative earnings approach. Following the cumulative earnings approach, when cumulative distributions less distributions received in prior periods that were deemed returns of investment are in excess of cumulative equity earnings, such excess is considered a return of investment and classified as cash flows from investing activities. The Company evaluates equity method investments for impairment when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the investment may be impaired. An impairment loss on an equity method investment is recognized as a component of operating income when a decline in its value is determined to be other-than-temporary.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which will require enhanced annual disclosures within rate reconciliations and disaggregated income taxes paid information. The amendments are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Company expects to adopt the ASU on a retrospective basis.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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, which will require disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, and interim periods in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2028.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which provides targeted improvements to ASC 350-40 to increase the operability of the recognition guidance considering different methods of software development. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2028, including interim reporting periods within that year.
The Company is evaluating the impact of these pronouncements on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, including the methods of adoption, except as discussed above. ASUs recently issued but not discussed above are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.
Note 3. Acquisitions
J.M. Wood
On July 14, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity interests in J.M. Wood Auction Co., Inc. ("J.M. Wood"), a privately held auction business located in Montgomery, Alabama, United States. The acquisition is expected to expand the Company's geographic coverage and combines J.M. Wood's regional expertise and customer relationships with the Company's global network and technology.
The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations. The following table presents the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

Approximately $163.6 million of the purchase price, net of cash acquired, was paid on closing with the remainder to be paid in fixed installments on the first, second, and third anniversaries of the closing date. The deferred consideration liability has been recorded at its acquisition-date fair value of $69.0 million, determined by discounting the contractual payments using the Company’s credit-adjusted discount rate, with $22.1 million presented within trade and other liabilities and $46.9 million presented within other non-current liabilities.
The following table presents the preliminary fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired:

The purchase price allocation is preliminary. The most significant items pending completion include the final determination of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including settlement of the net working capital adjustment, and management’s review of certain working-capital, intangible asset valuations, and tax matters. Adjustments to the preliminary allocation, including changes to intangible asset values and related amortization, may be recorded during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as additional information becomes available.
Note 3. Acquisitions (continued)
The goodwill recognized reflects the expected synergies of the combined company, the assembled workforce of J.M. Wood, and other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill has been assigned to the Ritchie Bros. reporting unit, and substantially all of it is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Revenue and net income of J.M. Wood included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date are not material. Revenue of J.M. Wood for the year ended December 31, 2024 was approximately $92.6 million.
Note 4. Segment Information
The Company has one operating and reportable segment which reflects the manner in which the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), its Chief Executive Officer, reviews and assesses the performance of the business and allocates resources.
The information used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources includes various measures of segment profit, however, for the purposes of the disclosures required by ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has determined that the measure most consistent with the measurement principles used in measuring the corresponding amounts in the consolidated financial statements is net income. Consolidated financial information is used to monitor forecast versus actual results in order to make key operating decisions. The CODM does not evaluate the performance of the Company or allocate resources at any level below the consolidated level or based on the Company's assets or liabilities.
The following table presents the significant segment expenses, in the context of deriving net income, that are regularly provided to and reviewed by the CODM, reconciled to the segment’s net income:

Note 7. Income Taxes
Income tax expense for interim periods is based upon an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for the effects of any significant and infrequent or unusual items required to be recognized discretely within the current interim period. The estimated income tax expense reflects, among other items, management’s best estimate of operating results. It does not include the estimated impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations or unusual and/or infrequent items, which may cause significant variations in the customary relationship between income tax expense and income before income taxes.
The Company's effective tax rate was 14.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 20.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The variance from the statutory federal and provincial tax rate in British Columbia, Canada of 27.0% relates primarily to certain discrete items, a change in estimate regarding certain deductions, and a higher estimate of income taxed in jurisdictions with lower tax rates. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in valuation allowances associated with certain deferred tax assets relating to the transaction described in Note 14.
Note 7. Income Taxes (continued)
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the United States Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and amends other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others through 2027. The Company is assessing the impact the OBBBA may have on its consolidated financial statements, but does not currently expect it to have a material impact.
The Company is routinely subject to tax audits and reviews in various jurisdictions around the world. Tax authorities may challenge the manner in which the Company has filed its tax returns and reported its income.
On December 3, 2024, the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") issued the Company a Notice of Assessment and Statement of Interest for C$79.1 million ($56.8 million), for the taxation years 2010 through 2015, inclusive of C$37.7 million ($27.1 million) in income taxes, and C$41.4 million ($29.7 million) in interest and penalties. The CRA is asserting that one of the Company’s Luxembourg subsidiaries, which was in operation from 2010 to 2020, was a resident in Canada from 2010 through 2015 and that its worldwide income should be subject to Canadian income taxation.
In February 2025, the Company filed a Notice of Objection with the CRA as it believes it is and has been in full compliance with Canadian tax laws and it intends to pursue all available administrative and judicial remedies necessary to resolve this matter. In addition, the Company paid a deposit of C$39.5 million ($28.4 million) to the CRA in early February 2025, recorded within other non-current assets, the minimum required by law as part of the CRA’s objection process. In the event that the Company prevails in its objection or subsequent legal proceedings, the deposit would be refunded with interest to the Company. In June 2025, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal with the Tax Court of Canada. In October 2025, the Crown filed a response to the Company’s Notice of Appeal with the Tax Court of Canada maintaining the CRA’s assertion and requesting that the Company’s appeal be dismissed. The Company believes the Crown’s response is without merit and plans to continue to litigate.
In the event that the Company’s tax filing position is not upheld by either the CRA or by a court of last resort, the Company would incur and record the amounts assessed in income tax, interest and penalties in its consolidated financial statements, which could have a material negative effect on the Company’s results of operations.
In addition, in late 2024, the CRA requested information regarding the 2016 to 2020 taxation years for the same matter, which the Company provided in January 2025. In September 2025, the CRA requested additional information and clarification regarding previous submissions. The Company has not received a notice of assessment relating to the 2016 to 2020 taxation years. Depending on the outcome of this matter, the Company could incur additional income taxes, penalties and interest relating to the 2016 to 2020 taxation years, which could have a material negative effect on its results of operations.
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has not recorded any amounts relating to this matter in the consolidated financial statements, as it is the Company’s conclusion that it is more likely than not that the Company’s tax filing position will ultimately be sustained. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter and the final disposition of any appeals, which could take numerous years to resolve.

The fair value of loans receivable with a maturity date greater than one year are determined by estimating discounted cash flows using market rates. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability, which relates to IAA's acquisition of Marisat, Inc. in 2021, is determined using certain unobservable inputs, including the likelihood of the achievement of volume targets. The fair values of the Revolving Facility loans and TLA Facility loans, before deduction of deferred debt issuance costs, approximate their carrying amounts as the interest rates are market-based and short-term in nature. The fair values of the Senior Secured Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes are determined by reference to a quoted market price traded in an over-the-counter broker market.
Note 11. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into forward currency contracts from time to time to manage exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to certain loans receivable and significant intercompany balances. The fair value of derivative financial instruments was not material at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The gross notional amount of forward currency contracts outstanding at September 30, 2025 was $53.8 million (December 31, 2024 - $48.1 million).

Note 14. Loss on Deconsolidation and Recognition of Equity Method Investment
On June 21, 2025, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary SYNETIQ Ltd., entered into an agreement with LKQ Europe to establish a new joint venture, LKQ SYNETIQ, focused on vehicle parts dismantling and distribution services. To prepare for the transaction, the Company transferred the net assets to be used in the operations of the joint venture to a newly created entity. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company retained a 40% equity interest in the new entity, and LKQ Europe acquired a 60% equity interest for proceeds of £8.0 million (approximately $11.0 million), to be paid in equal installments on the third, fourth, and fifth anniversaries of the closing date.
As a result of the transaction, the Company determined that it no longer controlled and therefore deconsolidated the entity at closing and recorded the fair value of its 40% equity interest within other non-current assets, by applying the equity method of accounting. The fair value of the initial carrying amount of the investment was determined based on the value implied by the transaction.
The loss on deconsolidation was determined as follows:

(30.0) |
|
| Loss on deconsolidation |
$ |
(15.5) |
|
The carrying amount of the net assets derecognized on deconsolidation includes an allocation of goodwill, which was determined based on the relative fair value of the business in relation to the fair value of its associated reporting unit. The Company recognized a $1.7 million inventory write down in connection with the transaction, recognized within cost of inventory sold, and incurred $2.5 million in related transaction costs recognized within selling, general and administrative expenses.
LKQ Europe has an option to purchase the Company's remaining 40% equity interest in LKQ SYNETIQ during the six-month period following the fifth anniversary of the closing date at a price based on the trailing gross profit of LKQ SYNETIQ for specified periods. If LKQ Europe does not exercise its option, the Company will have the right to initiate a sale of LKQ SYNETIQ's assets or shares or require LKQ Europe to sell its shares to the Company at a price based on the trailing gross profit of LKQ SYNETIQ for specified periods.
The Company has provided certain loans, subleased certain premises, and entered into a transitional services and a vehicle supply contract with LKQ SYNETIQ. These related party arrangements allow LKQ SYNETIQ to obtain access to certain premises required to conduct operations, obtain access to the Company’s auction platform to continue to generate supply of vehicles, and receive transitional services from the Company to support its operations. These related party transactions were not material as at or for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

1 Interest rates on Revolving Facility and TLA Facility loans reflect the weighted-average interest rates on borrowings as of September 30, 2025.
At September 30, 2025, the Company had undrawn Revolving Facility commitments aggregating $985.0 million available until April 2030, subject to certain covenant restrictions, and undrawn uncommitted foreign credit facility capacity aggregating $15.0 million available indefinitely. The Company was in compliance with all financial and other covenants applicable to its debt agreements at September 30, 2025.
Credit Agreement
In 2016, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders (as amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement is comprised of multi-currency revolving facilities (the “Revolving Facility”) and the Term Loan A facility (the “TLA Facility”). The TLA Facility is comprised of a facility denominated in U.S. dollars (the “USD TLA Facility”) and a facility denominated in Canadian dollars (the “CAD TLA Facility”).
On April 3, 2025, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Facility from $750.0 million to $1.3 billion, reduce the USD TLA Facility from $1.225 billion to $950.0 million, reduce certain loan margins and fees, adjust certain covenants for more financial flexibility, and extend the maturity of the Credit Agreement from September 21, 2026 to April 3, 2030. Revolving Facility and TLA Facility loans bear interest at a benchmark rate plus an applicable margin and the TLA Facility loans are subject to quarterly installment payments of 1.25% of principal, with the balance of the loans due at maturity. In connection with the amendment, the Company incurred issuance costs of $1.8 million, which have been deferred and presented as a reduction in the carrying amount of the TLA Facility loans, $2.6 million, which have been deferred and presented within other non-current assets as they relate to the Revolving Facility, and $3.9 million, which have been expensed and recorded within selling, general and administrative expense.
Senior Secured and Unsecured Notes
On March 15, 2023, the Company completed the offering of (i) $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.750% senior secured notes due March 15, 2028 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) and (ii) $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.750% senior unsecured notes due March 15, 2031 (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”, and together with the Senior Secured Notes, the “Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The Senior Secured Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior secured basis and the Senior Unsecured Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.
Note 16. Temporary Equity, Equity and Dividends
Series A Senior Preferred Shares
The Series A Senior Preferred Shares are convertible into common stock and were issued at an initial conversion price of $73.00 per share, which is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment provisions. The conversion price is $71.58 per share as of September 30, 2025. The Series A Senior Preferred Shares carry a 5.5% preferred dividend, which is payable quarterly, in cash or in shares at the Company's option, and are entitled to participate on an as-converted basis in the Company's regular quarterly common share dividends, subject to a $0.27 per share per quarter floor.
On the fourth anniversary of the issuance date of February 1, 2023, holders will have the right to increase the preferred dividend to 7.50%, and on the ninth anniversary of the issuance date, holders will have the right to increase the preferred dividend to a fixed percentage equal to the greater of (a) 600 bps over the daily simple SOFR as then in effect and (b) 10.50%, subject, in each case, to the Company’s right to redeem the Series A Senior Preferred Shares for which a dividend rate increase has been demanded.
Upon consummation of one or more specified change of control transactions, the holders will have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Series A Senior Preferred Shares in cash provided, however, that each holder, at its option, may elect instead to convert its Series A Senior Preferred Shares into the applicable change of control consideration. In addition, the Company has the right to redeem the Series A Senior Preferred Shares in the event of a change of control transaction where the successor entity is not traded on certain eligible markets. The possible future redemption of the Series A Senior Preferred Shares as a result of a change in control has been assessed as not probable at September 30, 2025.
Holders of the Series A Senior Preferred Shares are entitled to vote together with the common stock on an as-converted basis on all matters permitted by applicable law, subject to certain exceptions to enable compliance with applicable antitrust law. The Series A Senior Preferred Shares rank, with respect to rights as to dividends, distributions, redemptions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, (a) senior to all of the junior preferred stock, common stock and any other class or series of capital shares of the Company, issued or authorized after the Series A Senior Preferred Shares issuance date, the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series ranks senior to or on a parity with the Series A Senior Preferred Shares, (b) on a parity basis with each other class or series of capital shares issued or authorized after the Series A Senior Preferred Shares issuance date, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks on a parity basis with the Series A Senior Preferred Shares, and (c) junior with each other class or series of capital shares issued or authorized after the Series A Senior Preferred Shares issuance date, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks on a senior basis to the Series A Senior Preferred Shares.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, holders of the Series A Senior Preferred Shares were entitled to preferred dividends of $6.7 million and $20.1 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 - $6.7 million and $20.1 million, respectively) and participating dividends of $2.1 million and $5.9 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 - $2.0 million and $5.5 million, respectively).
Redeemable Non-controlling Interest
Redeemable non-controlling interest relates to the put/call agreement with one of the minority unitholders of VeriTread under which the holder can put its remaining 21% interest in VeriTread to the Company if certain performance targets are met.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company determined that the redeemable non-controlling interest was probable of redemption during the 60-day put window beginning January 3, 2026, at a predetermined contractual amount. Accordingly, the Company adjusted the carrying amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest to its estimated redemption value, with the corresponding $5.0 million adjustment recorded as a reduction to retained earnings.
The Company has separately recognized a 4% non-controlling interest in VeriTread within stockholders' equity as that interest is not redeemable.

Performance Share Units ("PSUs")
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted PSUs to executives and senior employees, approximately half of which have performance vesting conditions and approximately half of which have market vesting conditions, conditional upon the Company's total shareholder return relative to a peer group. The PSUs have three-year performance and market vesting periods.
The fair values of PSUs with performance vesting conditions were estimated using the closing price of the Company's common shares listed on the NYSE on the respective grant dates and the fair value of PSUs with market vesting conditions was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the respective grant dates, incorporating the following significant assumptions, presented on a weighted average basis:

Restricted Share Units ("RSUs")
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted RSUs to employees which have service vesting conditions. The RSUs vest over a three-year graded vesting period or cliff vest after 3 years, depending on the terms of the grant.
The fair values of RSUs were estimated using the closing price of the Company's common shares listed on the NYSE on the respective grant dates.

Note 19. Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company classified the assets and liabilities of Decision Dynamics, LLC ("DDI"), an electronic lien and title business, as held-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheets. The disposal group is measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment and no impairment was required in connection with the held for sale classification. The fair value of the disposal group was determined based on expected sale proceeds less estimated costs to sell, which represents a Level 3 fair value measurement.
The following table presents the carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held-for-sale:

On November 3, 2025, the Company completed the sale of DDI for consideration of approximately $37.8 million, subject to final closing adjustments. The sale of DDI is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The results of DDI are included within continuing operations on the consolidated income statements.
Note 20. Contingencies
Legal and Other Claims
On July 31, 2023, Ann Fandozzi informed the Company’s Board of her intention to resign from her position as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer due to a disagreement with the Company regarding her compensation as Chief Executive Officer. The Board accepted her verbal resignation and interpreted her subsequent conduct as affirmation of her resignation. The Company advised Ms. Fandozzi that it was accepting her resignation effective immediately and waiving any written procedural notice requirements under the Employment Agreement by and between Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers (Canada) Ltd. and Ms. Fandozzi, dated December 14, 2019. Ms. Fandozzi disputes that she tendered her resignation. On February 21, 2024, Ms. Fandozzi formally resigned from the Company’s Board. The matter is currently in arbitration in accordance with the terms of Ms. Fandozzi’s employment agreement.
Note 20. Contingencies (continued)
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded an expense of $0.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 - $0.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively) reflecting changes to the estimated fair value of certain share-based payment awards. Any changes to the estimated payment amount to Ms. Fandozzi as a result of the settlement of the matter could be material.
The Company is subject to legal and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Management does not believe that the results of these claims will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets or consolidated income statements.
Guarantee Contracts
In the normal course of business, the Company may guarantee a consignor a minimum level of proceeds in connection with the sale at auction of that consignor’s equipment.
At September 30, 2025, there were $88.3 million of assets guaranteed under contract, of which 98% is expected to be sold prior to December 31, 2025, with substantially all of the remainder to be sold by June 30, 2026 (at December 31, 2024 - $39.1 million, of which 44% was expected to be sold prior to the end of March 31, 2025, with the remainder expected to be sold by December 31, 2025). The outstanding guarantee amounts are undiscounted and before estimated proceeds from sale at auction.
Note 21. Subsequent Event
On October 28, 2025, an Australian subsidiary of the Company entered into a definitive agreement to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Smith Broughton Pty Ltd, an Australia based auction company for A$57.5 million ($38.0 million), subject to adjustments for working capital, inventory, and other items. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-looking statements may appear throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the following section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Forward-looking statements are typically identified by such words as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “confident”, “continue”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “remain”, “ongoing”, “plan”, “potential”, “predict”, “will”, “should”, “would”, “could”, “likely”, “generally”, “future”, “long-term”, or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially, and may include, among others, statements relating to:
•our future strategy, objectives, targets, projections and performance;
•potential growth and market opportunities;
•potential future mergers and acquisitions;
•our ability to integrate acquisitions, including the recently acquired J.M. Wood Auction Co., Inc. ("J.M. Wood");
•the impact of our new initiatives, services, investments, and acquisitions on us and our customers;
•our future capital expenditures and returns on those expenditures;
•the effect of any current, proposed or future tariffs on our results of operations; and
•financing available to us from our credit facilities or other sources, our ability to refinance borrowings, and the sufficiency of our working capital to meet our financial needs.
While we have not described all potential risks related to our business and owning our common shares, the important factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are available on our website at https://investor.rbglobal.com, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, or on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, are among those that we consider may affect our performance materially or could cause our actual financial and operational results to differ significantly from our expectations. Except as required by applicable securities law and regulations of relevant securities exchanges, we do not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements, even if our expectations have been affected by new information, future events or other developments.
Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts in the following tables are in millions, except per share amounts.
Overview
RB Global, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “RB Global”, the “Company”, "our", "us", or “we”) (NYSE & TSX: RBA) is a leading global marketplace that connects sellers and buyers of commercial assets and vehicles. Through our omnichannel platform, we facilitate transactions for customers primarily in our automotive and commercial construction and transportation ("CC&T") sectors. We also provide our customers value-added marketplace services, technology solutions for vehicle merchandising, platforms for lifecycle management of assets, and a market data intelligence platform to help customers make more informed business decisions.
For a complete overview of our business and a list of our branded solutions, please refer to Part I, Item 1: Business of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is available on our website at https://investor.rbglobal.com, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, or on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
Key Operating Metrics
We regularly review a number of metrics, including the following key operating metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, and make operating decisions. We believe these key operating metrics are useful to investors because management uses these metrics to assess the growth of our business and the effectiveness of our operational strategies.
Gross Transaction Value ("GTV"): Represents total proceeds from all items sold on our auctions and online marketplaces, third-party online marketplaces, private brokerage services and other disposition channels. GTV is not a measure of financial performance, liquidity, or revenue, and is not presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Inventory return: Inventory sales revenue less cost of inventory sold.
Inventory rate: Inventory return divided by inventory sales revenue.
Total lots sold: A single asset to be sold or a group of assets bundled for sale as one unit. Low value assets are sometimes bundled into a single lot, collectively referred to as “small value lots.”
Revenue Mix Fluctuations
Our revenue is comprised of service revenue and inventory sales revenue. Service revenue includes transactional buyer and seller revenue and marketplace services revenue.
Transactional seller revenue includes pre-negotiated and fixed commissions, as well as certain auction-related fees earned from sellers to complete the sale of an asset, such as towing to our yards, liens search, title processing and online listing and inspection fees.
Transactional buyer revenue includes buyer transaction fees based on a tiered structure earned from buyers upon purchase of an asset, as well as other auction-related fees earned from buyers to complete the purchase of an asset, such as title processing, late-pick up fees, salvage buyer platform registration and other administrative processing charges.
Marketplace services revenue includes fees earned from various optional value-added services provided to buyers, sellers or other third parties, and includes transportation, buyer towing, refurbishment, financing, parts procurement, data and appraisal, and other ancillary services.
Our revenue can fluctuate significantly each period, depending on the mix of service GTV and inventory GTV. Completed straight commission, fixed commission, and guarantee commission contracts are recognized as service revenue based on a percentage of GTV or on a fixed value, while inventory sales result in the full GTV of the assets sold being recorded as inventory sales revenue. As a result, a change in the mix of service and inventory sales transactions can have a significant impact on our revenue growth percentages.
Recent Developments
On October 28, 2025, an Australian subsidiary of the Company entered into a definitive agreement to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Smith Broughton Pty Ltd, an Australia based auction company for A$57.5 million ($38.0 million), subject to adjustments for working capital, inventory, and other items. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Macroeconomic Conditions and Trends
Various macroeconomic conditions and trends, such as continued inflationary pressures, the potential impact of current, proposed or future tariffs, and interest rate volatility, impact our business, GTV and operating costs. Our GTV is also impacted by the combination of unit volume growth and fluctuations in average selling prices from changes in market conditions.
In the CC&T sector, our customers are continuing to delay decisions over disposition of assets as they evaluate the current business conditions in the face of an uncertain macro environment and shifting trade policies. Our customers and partners continue to experience lower equipment utilization rates, weaker end market demand, a higher interest rate environment, and higher costs to acquire new assets, resulting in delays in replacing or adding assets to their existing asset base. These trends are contributing to a lower need for our customers to transact equipment and machinery.
In the automotive sector, the total number of accidents and the number of accidents deemed a total loss influence unit volume growth in the industry. The total number of accidents is a function of the number of vehicles in service and the aggregate number of miles driven. Used automotive prices, age, and the complexity of the design and technology content of vehicles, in combination with the cost of repair, are some of the factors that influence if a vehicle is deemed a total loss. The current inflation spread between automotive repair and used vehicles is providing a productive environment for a higher number of vehicles deemed a total loss as a percent of total accidents, driving a favorable environment for salvage.

GTV increased 7% in the third quarter of 2025, driven by growth in all regions and sectors.
Automotive sector GTV increased 6% in the third quarter of 2025 primarily due to market share gains and higher volume from existing partners, partially offset by a decrease in average price per lot sold due to a shift in customer mix, with a greater proportion of remarketed vehicles relative to insurance vehicles.
CC&T sector GTV increased 9% in the third quarter of 2025 partially due to by the inclusion of J.M. Wood following its acquisition by the Company on July 14, 2025. Excluding the impact of this acquisition, CC&T sector GTV increased due to a higher average price per lot sold, attributable to improved mix. CC&T sector GTV also increased due to higher volumes in Canada and International, partially offset by lower volume in the United States, primarily due to the non-repeat of certain significant customer contracts.
GTV increased 1% in the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to higher GTV in the automotive sector for the same reasons discussed above, partially offset by lower GTV in the CC&T sector due to lower volumes in the United States and Canada. The decline in CC&T sector GTV was primarily due to lower unit volume and the non-repeat of certain significant customer contracts.
1 Total GTV and total lots sold in the other sector exclude the results from LKQ SYNETIQ from June 21, 2025, the date of its deconsolidation from the Company.

Transactional seller revenue increased 4% in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to service GTV growth in the automotive and CC&T sectors, as discussed above, partially offset by a slightly lower average seller commission rate.
Transactional buyer revenue increased 12% in the third quarter of 2025, while total GTV increased 7%, primarily due to changes to our buyer fee rate structures implemented in late-2024 and early-2025.
Marketplace services revenue decreased 1% in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to the non-repeat of transportation fees related to a significant customer contract in the United States, partially offset by increased value-added services revenue.
Transactional seller revenue decreased 3% in the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to a slightly lower average seller commission rate and slightly lower GTV.
Transactional buyer revenue increased 9% in the first nine months of 2025, despite an increase in total GTV of 1%, primarily due to changes to our buyer fee rate structures implemented in late-2024 and early-2025.
Marketplace services revenue decreased 7% in the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to the non-repeat of transportation fees related to a significant customer contract in the United States.
Inventory Sales Revenue
Inventory sales revenue increased 23% in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to the inclusion of J.M. Wood and a large customer in the CC&T sector in the United States. These increases were partially offset by a decline in automotive sector inventory sales revenue as result of the deconsolidation of LKQ SYNETIQ in the second quarter of 2025.
Inventory sales revenue increased 23% in the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to a shift in contract mix within our CC&T sector, in addition to the reasons discussed above.
Costs of Services
Costs of services increased 4% in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to automotive sector volume growth resulting in higher tow and employee compensation expenses and higher property costs as a result of an increase in properties under lease. These increases were partially offset by decreasing CC&T sector costs, mainly as a result of lower transportation and third-party profit-sharing costs associated with a significant customer contract in the prior year.
Costs of services increased 3% in the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to the same reasons discussed above. In addition, we saw higher employee compensation expenses as a result of changes to our employee benefit plans implemented in the second quarter of 2024.
Cost of Inventory Sold
Cost of inventory sold increased 22% in the third quarter of 2025, in line with the 23% increase in inventory sales revenue.
Inventory rate expanded 50bps to 4.7% in the third quarter of 2025, attributable to stronger performance in the CC&T sector, primarily in the United States.
Cost of inventory sold increased 24% in the first nine months of 2025, in line with the 23% increase in inventory sales revenue.
Inventory rate declined 80bps to 5.6% in the first nine months of 2025, attributable to softer performance in all sectors.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 22% in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to increases in employee compensation costs, professional fees, restructuring costs, technology expenses, and the inclusion of J.M. Wood. Employee compensation and restructuring costs increased primarily due to increased share-based payment expense and severance costs associated with the leadership and organizational changes announced in the third quarter of 2025. Professional fees increased primarily due to increased legal costs and increased consulting expenses related to strategic initiatives, including the organizational changes discussed above. Technology expenses increased primarily due to higher cloud service costs and increased amortization of cloud computing implementation costs associated with recently implemented payroll and finance systems. These increases were partially offset by lower expense from the termination of the Bolton lease arrangement in Ontario, Canada, at the beginning of the year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 10% in the first nine months of 2025 for the same reasons discussed above, partially offset by the non-repeat of the initial accrual for Canadian digital services tax for the period of January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2024.
Acquisition-related and Integration Costs
Acquisition-related and integration costs decreased 33% and 57% in the third quarter of 2025 and the first nine months of 2025, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in integration and severance costs related to the IAA acquisition, offset by an increase in acquisition-related costs related to the J.M. Wood acquisition completed in the third quarter of 2025.
Operating Income
Operating income increased 3% in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher flow-through of service and inventory revenue, as discussed above. These increases were partially offset by the increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses, as discussed above, and higher depreciation and amortization expense related to increase in internally developed software and technology assets and acquired intangible assets.
Operating income decreased 3% in the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization expense, as discussed above, and the loss on deconsolidation and related costs in connection with the LKQ SYNETIQ transaction which occurred in the second quarter of 2025. These decreases were partially offset by a higher flow-through of service revenue and lower acquisition-related and integration costs, as discussed above.
Income Tax Expense and Effective Tax Rate
At the end of each interim period, we estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The estimate reflects, among other items, management’s best estimate of operating results. It does not include the estimated impact of foreign exchange rates or unusual and/or infrequent discrete items, which may cause significant variations in the customary relationship between income tax expense and income before income taxes.
Income tax expense decreased 37% and the effective tax rate decreased 1,080 bps in the third quarter of 2025.
Income tax expense decreased 14% and the effective tax rate decreased 400 bps in the first nine months of 2025.
The decrease in the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2025 and for the first nine months of 2025 was primarily due to certain discrete items, a change in estimate regarding certain deductions, and a higher estimate of income taxed in jurisdictions with lower tax rates. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets relating to the transaction described in Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note. 14 Loss on Deconsolidation and Recognition of Equity Method Investment.
Net Income Available to Common Stockholders
Net income available to common stockholders increased 21% in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to the decrease in income tax expense, as discussed above, and lower interest expense due to principal repayments and lower interest rates, due in-part to the Credit Agreement amendment completed in the second quarter of 2025. These increases were partially offset by the adjustment of redeemable non-controlling interests described in Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note. 16 Temporary Equity, Equity and Dividends.
Net income available to common stockholders increased 7% in the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to lower interest expense and income tax expense, partially offset by a decrease in operating income and the adjustment of redeemable non-controlling interest, as discussed above, as well as lower interest income from lower rates.

Foreign exchange did not have a material impact on total revenue and expenses in the third quarter of 2025, when compared to the prior year quarter.
Debt
Our Credit Agreement is comprised of multi-currency revolving credit facilities (the "Revolving Facility") and the Term Loan A facility (the "TLA Facility"). The TLA Facility is comprised of a facility denominated in U.S. dollars (the "USD TLA Facility"), and a facility denominated in Canadian dollars (the "CAD TLA Facility").
On April 3, 2025, we amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Facility from $750.0 million to $1.3 billion, reduce the USD TLA Facility from $1.2 billion to $950.0 million, reduce certain loan margins and fees, adjust certain covenants for more financial flexibility, and extend the maturity of the Credit Agreement from September 21, 2026 to April 3, 2030. The Revolving Facility and TLA Facility loans bear interest at a benchmark rate plus an applicable margin. The TLA Facility loans are subject to quarterly installment payments of 1.25% of principal, which began on September 30, 2025, with the balance payable at maturity.
At September 30, 2025, the Company also had $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.750% senior secured notes due March 15, 2028 (the "Senior Secured Notes"), and (ii) $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.750% senior unsecured notes due March 15, 2031 (the "Senior Unsecured Notes") (collectively, the "Notes"). Interest on the Notes is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The Senior Secured Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior secured basis and the Senior Unsecured Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The below were our committed and uncommitted revolving credit facilities at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Debt Covenants
The Company was in compliance with all financial and other covenants applicable to its debt agreements at September 30, 2025.
Our ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement is subject to compliance with financial covenants of a consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. In the event of sustained deterioration of global markets and economies, we expect the covenants pertaining to our leverage ratio would be the most restrictive to our ability to access funding under our Credit Agreement. We continue to evaluate courses of action to maintain current levels of liquidity and compliance with our debt covenants.
For more information on our debt, see Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note. 15 Debt in our consolidated financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity is primarily affected by fluctuations in cash provided by operating activities, significant acquisitions of businesses, payment of dividends, net capital spending1, and repayments of debt. We are also committed under various letters of credit and provide certain guarantees in the normal course of business. We believe our principal sources of liquidity, which include cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, and unused capacity under our revolving credit facilities of $1.0 billion, is sufficient to fund our current and planned operating activities. In the current interest rate environment, we will continue to evaluate and pursue the most financially beneficial arrangements to fund future capital expenditures, which may include lease agreements or cash purchases.
Our short-term cash requirements include, among others, (i) payment of quarterly dividends to common shareholders on an as-declared basis, and payment of participating dividends and preferential dividends to preferred equity holders, (ii) settlement of contracts with consignors, partners and other suppliers, (iii) personnel expenditures, with a majority of short-term incentive compensation paid annually in the first quarter following each fiscal year, (iv) income tax installments, (v) payments of principal and interest on our short-term and long-term debt, (vi) payment of amounts committed under certain service agreements to build our modern IT architecture, (vii) payments on our operating and finance lease obligations, (viii) other capital expenditures and working capital needs, and (ix) advances.
Our long-term cash requirements include, among others, (i) scheduled principal and interest payments on long-term debt, (ii) scheduled repayments of operating lease, finance lease, and equipment financing obligations, and (iii) deferred consideration related to the J.M. Wood acquisition. In the event the Company is not successful in its appeal with the Canada Revenue Agency, as described in Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note. 7 Income Taxes, the Company may be required to pay the remaining assessed amounts with interest. For more information on our debt and leases, see Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note. 15 Debt and Item 1 – Financial Statements: Note. 18 Leases, respectively, in our consolidated financial statements, as well as in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
If we were to consider further acquisitions to deliver on our strategic growth drivers, we may seek financing through the equity or debt markets. The issuance of additional equity securities may result in dilution to existing shareholders. Issuance of preferred equity securities could provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock. Further, this additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all.
1 We calculate net capital spending as property, plant and equipment additions plus intangible asset additions less proceeds on disposition of property, plant and equipment.

The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher cash outflows from the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $148.5 million, partially offset by higher net income from operations. The higher cash outflow from the net change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to the timing of book overdrafts and income tax installment payments, the deposit paid to the CRA, and the timing of advance payments to customers. These increases were partially offset by lower cash outflows related to the timing and size of auctions, and less incentive-based employee compensation costs paid.
The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the acquisition of J.M. Wood and increased property, plant and equipment expenditures mainly relating to the purchase of property and real estate improvements to support IAA operations, including the expansion of IAA to Australia.
The decrease in net cash used in financing activities was primarily due to lower net principal repayments on our long-term debt and an increase in net proceeds from short-term debt, primarily used to finance the expansion of IAA to Australia. The decrease in cash outflows was partially offset by lower proceeds from the exercise of stock options and higher dividend payments to common stockholders.
Dividend Information
We declared a dividend of $0.31 per common share for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and $0.29 per common share for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and September 30, 2024. We have declared, but not yet paid, a dividend of $0.31 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. All dividends that we pay are “eligible dividends” for Canadian income tax purposes unless indicated otherwise.
Debt over Net Income
Debt represented 6.1 times net income at and for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 7.3 times net income at and for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower levels of debt from principal repayments, and higher net income. The adjusted net debt/adjusted EBITDA was 1.4 times at and for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 1.7 times at and for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was due to the same reasons as discussed above, as well as a higher cash balance at the end of the current quarter.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, we must make decisions that impact the reported amounts and related disclosures. Such decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and the assumptions on which to base accounting estimates. In reaching such decisions, we apply judgments based on our understanding and analysis of the relevant circumstances and historical experience.
At September 30, 2025, there were no material changes in our critical accounting policies, judgments, estimates and assumptions from those disclosed in Part I, Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Non-GAAP Measures
We reference various non-GAAP measures throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These measures do not have a standardized meaning and are, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The presentation of this financial information, which is not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles, is not intended to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Adjusted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders and Diluted Adjusted EPS Available to Common Stockholders
We believe that adjusted net income available to common stockholders provides useful information about the growth or decline of our net income available to common stockholders for the relevant financial period and eliminates the financial impact of adjusting items we do not consider to be part of our normal operating results. Diluted adjusted EPS available to common stockholders eliminates the financial impact of adjusting items from net income available to common stockholders that we do not consider to be part of our normal operating results. Please refer to page
36 for a summary of adjusting items.
Adjusted net income available to common stockholders is calculated as net income available to common stockholders, excluding the effects of adjusting items that we do not consider to be part of our normal operating results, such as share-based payments expense, acquisition-related and integration costs, restructuring costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, executive transition costs and certain other items.
Net income available to common stockholders is calculated as net income attributable to controlling interests, less cumulative dividends on Series A Senior Preferred Shares, allocated earnings to Series A Senior Preferred Shares, and adjustments to redeemable non-controlling interest.
Diluted adjusted EPS available to common stockholders is calculated by dividing adjusted net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of dilutive shares outstanding, except that it is computed based upon the lower of the two-class method or the if-converted method, which includes the effects of the assumed conversion of the Series A Senior Preferred Shares and the effect of shares issuable under the Company’s stock-based incentive plans, if such effect is dilutive.
The following table reconciles adjusted net income available to common stockholders and diluted adjusted EPS available to common stockholders to net income available to common stockholders and diluted EPS available to common stockholders, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures in our consolidated financial statements:

Adjusted EBITDA
We believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information and is a key performance measure because it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and it provides management with the ability to monitor its controllable incremental revenues and costs.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax expense, and subtracting interest income from net income, as well as adding back the adjusting items as described on page
36.
The following table reconciles adjusted EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure in, or calculated from, our consolidated financial statements:

Adjusted Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA
We believe that comparing adjusted net debt to adjusted EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis, across different periods, provides useful information to investors about our operational performance and financial flexibility. This ratio indicates the period of time it would take to repay both our short- and long-term debt from operating earnings. We do not consider this to be a measure of liquidity, which is our ability to meet short-term obligations, but rather a measure of how well we manage our liquidity position. Measures of liquidity are noted under “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Adjusted net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from short and long-term debt. Adjusted net debt/adjusted EBITDA is calculated by dividing adjusted net debt by adjusted EBITDA.
The following table reconciles adjusted net debt to debt, adjusted EBITDA to net income, and adjusted net debt/ adjusted EBITDA to debt/ net income, respectively, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures in, or calculated from, our consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted Return and Adjusted ROIC
We believe that comparing adjusted ROIC on a trailing twelve-month basis across different periods provides useful information about the after-tax return generated by our investments. Adjusted ROIC is a measure used by management to determine how productively the Company uses its long-term capital to gauge investment decisions.
ROIC is calculated as reported return divided by average invested capital. Reported return is defined as net income attributable to controlling interests excluding the impact of net interest expense and tax effected at the Company’s adjusted annualized effective tax rate. Adjusted ROIC is calculated as adjusted return divided by adjusted average invested capital. Adjusted return is defined as reported return and adjusted for items that we do not consider to be part of our normal operating results and tax effected at the
applicable tax rate. Adjusted average invested capital is calculated as average invested capital but excludes any long-term debt in escrow.
The following table reconciles adjusted return and adjusted ROIC to net income attributable to controlling interests and adjusted average invested capital to average invested capital, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures in, or calculated from, our consolidated financial statements:

The adjusting items recognized in prior quarters are discussed in Part I, Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes to our market risk during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 from those disclosed in Item 7A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is available on our website at https://investor.rbglobal.com, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, or on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act as of September 30, 2025. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of that date, the disclosure controls are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated, communicated to management as appropriate, and recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules and forms.
The Company, including its CEO and CFO, does not expect that its internal controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company continued its implementation of a new digital payment platform (“DPP”) within the Ritchie Bros. business in the United States. The DPP system replaces certain legacy payment systems and is being deployed in stages across regions. Implementation of the DPP system materially affected the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter. The Company has updated its internal controls as appropriate and will continue to monitor and enhance controls as the system is further implemented.
Except as described above, there were no other material changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We have no material legal proceedings pending, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, and we do not know of any material proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.
ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS
Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and our past performance is no guarantee of our performance in future periods. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties discussed in Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is available on our website at https://investor.rbglobal.com, on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, or on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes to such risk factors. Our business could also be affected by additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial. If any of the risks occur, our business, financial and results of operations could materially suffer. As a result, the trading price of our common shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

None.
ITEM 3: DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4: MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

EXHIBIT 10.1
Execution Version
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
Between:
JENNIFER SCHMIT
(the “Executive”)
And:
RITCHIE BROS. AUCTIONEERS (CANADA) LTD.,
a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada
(the “Employer”)
WHEREAS:
A.The Employer and its affiliates are in the business of providing asset management and transaction solutions for commercial assets and vehicles; and
B.The Employer and the Executive wish to enter into an employment relationship on the terms and conditions as described in this Agreement;
NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSES THAT in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by both parties, the Employer and the Executive agree as follows:
1.EMPLOYMENT
a.The Employer agrees to employ the Executive pursuant to the terms and conditions described in this Agreement, including the appendices to this Agreement, and the Executive hereby accepts and agrees to such employment. Unless otherwise defined, the defined terms in this Agreement will have the same meaning in the appendices hereto.
b.The Executive will be employed in the position of Executive Vice President, People Team and such other duties and responsibilities consistent with their position as may be assigned by the Employer from time to time. The Executive shall be principally based at their home office in the State of Minnesota (“Place of Employment”) and shall report directly to the Chief People Officer.
c.The Executive’s employment with the Employer will commence on December 1, 2024 (the “Commencement Date”), and the Executive’s employment hereunder will continue for an indefinite period of time until terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law (the “Term”).
d.During the Term, the Executive will at all times:
i.well and faithfully serve the Employer, and act honestly and in good faith in the best interests of the Employer;
ii.devote all of the Executive’s business time, attention, and abilities, and provide their best efforts, expertise, skills, and talents, to the business of the Employer, except as provided in Section 2(b);
iii.adhere to all generally applicable written policies of the Employer, and obey and observe to the best of the Executive’s abilities all lawful orders and directives, whether verbal or written, of the Board;
iv.act lawfully and professionally, and exercise the degree of care, diligence, and skill that an executive employee would exercise in comparable circumstances; and
v.to the best of the Executive’s abilities perform the duties and exercise the responsibilities required of the Executive under this Agreement.
2.PRIOR COMMITMENTS AND OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES
a.The Executive represents and warrants to the Employer that the Executive has no existing common law, contractual, or statutory obligations to their former employer or to any other person that will conflict with the Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.
b.During the term of this Agreement, the Executive will not be engaged directly or indirectly in any outside business activities, whether for profit or not-for-profit, as principal, partner, director, officer, active shareholder, advisor, employee or otherwise, without first having obtained the written permission of the Employer.
3.POLICIES
a.The Executive agrees to comply with all generally applicable written policies applying to the Employer’s staff that may reasonably be issued by the Employer from time to time. The Executive agrees that the introduction, amendment, and administration of such generally applicable written policies are within the sole discretion of the Employer. If the Employer introduces, amends, or deletes such generally applicable written policies, such introduction, deletion or amendment will not constitute a constructive dismissal or breach of this Agreement. If there is a direct conflict between this Agreement and any such policy, this Agreement will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.
4.COMPENSATION
a.Upon the Commencement Date, and continuing during the Term, the Executive will earn the following annual compensation, less applicable statutory and regular payroll deductions and withholdings:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compensation Element |
$USD |
Annual Base Salary |
USD $375,000 (the “Base Salary”) |
Annual Short-Term Incentive |
70% of Base Salary at Target (the “STI Bonus”)
(0% - 200% of STI bonus target based on actual performance)
|
Annual Long-Term Incentive Grant |
Targeted at 80% of Base Salary (the “LTI Grant”)
Those eligible to participate in the long-term incentive plan (LTI Plan) maintained by the Employer’s parent company, RB Global, Inc. (“RB Global”) may be entitled to receive an equity award subject to the terms set forth in the relevant shareholder-approved equity plan. Grants under the LTI Plan are made at the complete discretion and subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee and are based on the recommendation of the senior management or the CEO.
|
b.The structure of the STI Bonus and LTI Grant will be consistent with those granted to the
Employer’s other executives and is subject to amendment from time to time by the Employer. Currently, LTI grants for executives are provided as follows:
i.A mix of equity which may include restricted share units, performance share units, or stock options issued under RB Global’s 2023 Share Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”), at varying percentages as set forth by and subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee;
ii.For illustrative purposes only, past LTI grants to executives have been comprised of a mixture of: (a) stock options having a ten-year term, vesting in equal one-third parts after the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, (b) restricted share units (RSUs) vesting in equal one-third parts after the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, and (c) performance share units (PSUs) vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date based on actual performance against pre-established criteria, with the number of share units that vest ranging from 0% to 200% of target based on actual performance.
c.The specific terms and conditions for the LTI Grant, including but not limited to the provisions upon termination of employment will be based on the relevant plan and award documents.
d.The Executive’s STI Bonus for 2024 will be prorated based upon the Executive’s Commencement Date, under RB Global’s STI plan for the 2024 performance year ending December 31, 2024. Such bonus shall be paid in accordance with the terms of RB Global’s STI plan. The Executive must be employed by the Employer at the time payment of such bonus would be made to be eligible for this bonus payment.
e.The Executive will be eligible for a sign-on cash bonus in the amount of USD $150,000 (less appropriate withholdings), payable in January 2025, and will be paid out according to normal payroll practices. This cash sign-on bonus is subject to a clawback where the Executive will pay back the amount in full if the Executive were to voluntarily end their employment before the first anniversary of employment.
f.The Executive will be eligible for a sign-on grant (“SOG”) having an economic value of USD
$600,000, comprised of (i) RSUs with an economic value of USD $300,000 vesting in equal one-third parts after the first, second, and third anniversaries of the 2024 LTI grant date (about March 15, 2024), and (ii) PSUs with an economic value of $300,000 vesting on the third anniversary of the 2024 LTI grant date (about March 15, 2024) based on the same pre- established performance criteria as the annual 2024 LTI grant, with the number of share units that ultimately vest ranging from 0% to 200% of target based on actual performance. The SOG will be awarded within four weeks of the Commencement Date, and is subject to approval by the Compensation Committee.
g.Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive will be subject to any written clawback/recoupment policy of the Employer in effect from time to time, allowing the recovery of incentive compensation previously paid or payable to the Executive in cases of proven misconduct or material financial restatement, whether pursuant to the requirements of Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and the Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of any national securities exchange on which common stock of the Employer is listed, or otherwise.
5.BENEFITS
a.The Executive will be eligible to participate in the Employer’s US group benefit plans, subject to the terms and conditions of said plans and the applicable policies of the Employer and
applicable benefits providers. Subject to the Executive’s eligibility, such benefits will include, without limitation, United States medical coverage satisfying the minimum essential coverage requirements under the United States Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, short-term and long-term disability coverage, and term life insurance.
b.The liability of the Employer with respect to the Executive’s employment benefits is limited to the premiums or portions of the premiums the Employer regularly pays on behalf of the Executive in connection with said employee benefits. The Executive agrees that the Employer is not, and will not be deemed to be, the insurer and, for greater certainty, the Employer will not be liable for any decision of a third-party benefits provider or insurer, including any
decision to deny coverage or any other decision that affects the Executive’s benefits or insurance.
c.The Executive will be eligible to contribute to the Employer’s US-based 401(k) savings plan pursuant to the terms of that plan. The Executive will be eligible to participate in the
Employer’s Employee Share Purchase Plan, in accordance with the terms of that plan.
6.EXPENSES
a.The Employer will reimburse the Executive, in accordance with the Employer’s policies, for all authorized travel and other out-of-pocket expenses actually and properly incurred by the Executive in the course of carrying out the Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.
7.HOURS OF WORK AND OVERTIME
a.Given the management nature of the Executive’s position, the Executive is required to work additional hours from time to time and is not eligible for overtime pay. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the compensation provided under this Agreement represents full compensation for all of the Executive’s working hours and services, including overtime.
8.PAID TIME OFF (PTO)
a.The Executive will earn up to five (5) weeks (or twenty-five (25) business days) of paid time off (PTO) per annum.
b.The Executive will take their PTO subject to business needs, and in accordance with the Employer’s PTO policy in effect from time to time.
c.Annual PTO must be taken and may not be accrued, deferred, or banked without the Employer’s written approval.
9.TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
a.Termination for cause: The Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for Cause, after providing the Executive with at least 30 days’ notice of such proposed
termination and 15 days to remedy the alleged defect. In this Agreement, “Cause” means the willful and continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform, or otherwise properly carry out, the Executive’s duties on behalf of RB Global or its operating affiliates, or to follow, in any material respect, the lawful policies, procedures, instructions or directions of the Employer or any applicable affiliate (other than any such failure resulting from the
Executive’s disability or incapacity due to physical or mental illness), or the Executive willfully or intentionally engaging in illegal or fraudulent conduct, financial impropriety, intentional dishonesty, breach of duty of loyalty or any similar intentional act which is materially injurious RB Global or an affiliate, or which may have the effect of materially injuring the reputation, business or business relationships of the Employer or an affiliate, or any other act or omission constituting cause for termination of employment without notice or pay in lieu of notice at common law. For the purposes of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on the part of an Executive shall be considered “willful” unless done or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omissions were in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Employer and its affiliates.
In the event of termination for Cause, the rights of the Executive with respect to any PSUs, RSUs (including those issued as part of the SOG), or stock options granted pursuant to the Plan or any successor plan providing for grants of PSUs, RSUs, or stock options, and pursuant to any and all PSU, RSU and stock option grant agreements, will be governed pursuant to the terms of the Plan, or any successor plan thereto, and respective grant agreements for such PSUs, RSUs and stock options.
b.Termination for Good Reason: The Executive may terminate their employment with the Employer for Good Reason by delivery of written notice to the Employer within the sixty (60) day period commencing upon the occurrence of Good Reason including the basis for such Good Reason (with such termination effective thirty (30) days after such written notice is delivered to the Employer and only in the event that the Employer fails or is unable to cure such Good Reason within such thirty (30) day period). In the event of a termination of the
Executive’s employment for Good Reason, the Executive will receive pay and benefits as if terminated by the Employer without Cause under Section 9 c. below, and the termination shall be regarded as a termination without Cause for purposes of the Plan.
In this Agreement, “Good Reason” means (1) a material adverse change by RB Global or an affiliate, without the Executive’s consent, to the Executive’s position, authority, duties, responsibilities,
Executive’s place of residence, Base Salary or the potential short-term or long-term incentive bonus the Executive is eligible to earn, (2) a change in the Executive’s reporting such that the Executive no longer reports directly to the CEO or (3) a requirement by the Employer that the Executive’s regular Place of Employment be changed, but does not include a change in the
Executive’s duties and/or responsibilities arising from a change in the scope or nature of RB Global’s business operations, provided such change does not adversely affect the Executive’s position or authority or is a change across the board affecting similar executives in a similar fashion.
c.Termination without Cause: The Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, without Cause by providing the Executive with the following:
i.Twelve (12) months’ Base Salary and STI Bonus at Target;
ii.all equity awards will be governed by the terms of the relevant plan;
iii.an STI Bonus (at target) for the year of termination of employment, pro-rated based on the number of days of employment in the year up to the Termination Date;
iv.continued extended health and dental benefits coverage at active employee rates until the earlier of the first anniversary of the termination of the Executive’s employment or the date on which the Executive begins new full-time employment.
d.Resignation: The Executive may terminate their employment with the Employer at any time by providing the Employer with three (3) months’ notice in writing to that effect. If the Executive provides the Employer with written notice under this Section, the Employer may waive such notice, in whole or in part, in which case the Employer will pay the Executive the Base Salary only for the amount of time remaining in that notice period and the Executive’s employment will terminate on the earlier date specified by the Employer without any further compensation.
In the event of resignation, the rights of the Executive with respect to any PSUs, RSUs (including those issued as part of the SOG), or stock options granted pursuant to the Plan, or any successor plans thereto, and pursuant to any and all PSU, RSU and stock option grant agreements, will be governed pursuant to the terms of the Plan (or their successor plans, as applicable) and respective grant agreements for such PSUs, RSUs and stock options.
e.Retirement: In the event of the Executive’s retirement, as defined by the Employer’s policies, the rights of the Executive with respect to any PSUs, RSUs (including those issued as part of the SOG) or stock options granted pursuant to the Plan, or any successor plans, as applicable, and pursuant to any and all PSU, RSU and stock option grant agreements, will be governed pursuant to the terms of the Plan (or any successor plans, as applicable) and will be based on the relevant plan and award documents of RB Global and may be subject to amendments from time to time.
f.Deductions and withholdings: All payments under this Section are subject to applicable statutory and regular payroll deductions and withholdings in the US as applicable.
g.Terms of Payment upon Termination: Upon termination of the Executive’s employment, for any reason:
i.Subject to Section 9 b. and except as limited by Section 9 h. (ii), the Employer will pay the Executive all earned and unpaid Base Salary, earned and unpaid vacation pay, and the prorated STI Bonus for the year of termination, up to and including the Executive’s last day of active employment with the Employer (the “Termination Date”), with such payment to be made within five (5) business days of the Termination Date.
ii.In the event of resignation by the Executive or termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause, no STI Bonus will be payable to the Executive; and
iii.On the Termination Date, the Executive will immediately deliver to the Employer all files, computer disks, Confidential Information, information and documents pertaining to the Employer’s Business, and all other property of the Employer that is in the Executive’s possession or control, without making or retaining any copy, duplication or reproduction of such files, computer disks, Confidential Information, information or documents without the Employer’s express written consent.
h.Other than as expressly provided herein, the Executive will not be entitled to receive any further pay or compensation, severance pay, notice, payment in lieu of notice, incentives, bonuses, benefits, rights, and damages of any kind. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of a payment under Section 9 b. or Section 9 c. of this Agreement, the Executive will not be entitled to any other payment in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a termination without Cause, the Employer will not be required to pay any Base Salary or STI Bonus to the Executive beyond that earned by the Executive up to and including the Termination Date, unless the Executive signs within forty (40) days of the Termination Date and does not revoke a full and general release (the “Release”) of any and all claims that the Executive has against the Employer or its affiliates and such entities’ past and then current officers, directors, owners, managers, members, agents and employees relating to all matters, in form and substance satisfactory to the Employer, provided, however, that the payment shall not occur prior to the effective date of the Release, provided further that if the maximum period during which Executive can consider and revoke the release begins in one calendar year and ends in another calendar year, then such payment shall not be made until the first payroll date occurring after the later of (A) the last day of the calendar year in which such period begins, and (B) the date on which the Release becomes effective.
i.Notwithstanding any changes in the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment that may occur in the future, including any changes in position, duties, or compensation, the termination provisions in this Agreement will continue to be in effect for the duration of the Executive employment with the Employer unless otherwise amended in writing and signed by the Employer.
j.Agreement authorizing payroll deductions: If on the date, the employment relationship ends, regardless of the reason, the Executive owes the Employer any money (whether pursuant to an advance, overpayment, debt, error in payment, or any other reason), the Executive hereby
authorizes the Employer to deduct any such debt amount from the Executive’s salary, severance or any other payment due to the Executive. Any remaining debt will be immediately payable to the Employer and the Executive agrees to satisfy such debt within 14 days of the Termination Date or any demand for repayment.
10.SHARE OWNERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
a.The Executive will be subject to RB Global’s share ownership guideline policy, as amended from time to time. The current share ownership requirement for this position is three times the base salary.
11.CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
a.In this Agreement “Confidential Information” means information proprietary to the Employer or RB Global that is not publicly known or available, including but not limited to personnel information, customer information, supplier information, contractor information, pricing information, financial information, marketing information, business opportunities, technology, research and development, manufacturing and information relating to intellectual property, owned, licensed, or used by the Employer or its affiliates or in which the Employer or its affiliates otherwise have an interest, and includes Confidential Information created by the Executive in the course of their employment, jointly or alone. The Executive acknowledges that the Confidential Information is the exclusive property of the Employer.
b.The Executive agrees at all times during the Term and after the Term, to hold the Confidential Information in strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person or entity without written authorization from the Employer and the Executive agrees not to copy or remove it from the Employer’s premises except in pursuit of the Employer’s business, or to use or attempt to use it for any purpose other than the performance of the Executive’s duties on behalf of the Employer.

i.solicit any client or customer of RB Global with whom the Executive dealt during the twelve (12) months immediately prior to the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Employer (however caused) for the purposes of (a) causing or trying to cause such client or customer to cease doing business with RB Global or to reduce such business with RB Global by diverting it elsewhere or (b) providing products or services that are the same as or competitive with the business of RB Global in the area of facilitating the exchange of industrial equipment and vehicles, provided, for greater clarity, that such limitation shall not restrict the Executive from the general exchange of industrial equipment or vehicles as part of the normal business operations of a future employer where such employer is not engaged in the exchange of industrial equipment or vehicles by way of auctions or online exchange platforms similar to those operated by RB Global; or

a.The Executive acknowledges that the restrictions contained in Sections 9 h. iii., 11, 12, 13, and 14 of this Agreement are, in view of the nature of the Employer’s business, reasonable and necessary in order to protect the legitimate interests of the Employer and that any violation of those Sections would result in irreparable injuries and harm to the Employer, and that damages alone would be an inadequate remedy.
b.The Executive hereby agrees that the Employer will be entitled to the remedies of injunction, specific performance, and other equitable relief to prevent a breach or recurrence of a breach of this Agreement and that the Employer will be entitled to its reasonable legal costs and expenses, including but not limited to its attorneys’ fees, incurred in properly enforcing a provision of this Agreement.

18.ENTIRE AGREEMENT
a.This Agreement, including the Appendices, and any other documents referenced herein,

c.No waiver, amendment, or modification of this Agreement or any covenant, condition, or restriction herein contained will be valid unless executed in writing by the party to be charged therewith, with the exception of those modifications expressly permitted within this Agreement. Should the parties agree to waive, amend, or modify any provision of this Agreement, such waiver, amendment or modification will not affect the enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Employer may unilaterally amend the provisions of Section 10 c. relating to the provision of certain health benefits following termination of employment to the extent the Employer deems necessary to avoid the imposition of excise taxes, penalties, or similar charges on the Employer or any of its Affiliates, including, without limitation, under Section 4980D of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
A.CONSIDERATION
A.The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement has been executed by each of them in consideration of the mutual premises and covenants contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged.

19.ENUREMENT
a.The provisions of this Agreement will enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties, their heirs, executors, personal legal representatives and permitted assigns, and related companies.
b.This Agreement may be assigned by the Employer at its discretion, in which case the assignee shall become the Employer for purposes of this Agreement. This Agreement will not be assigned by the Executive.

12.Effect of Section 409A
Payments and benefits provided under or referenced in this Agreement are intended to be designed in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of, Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the regulations issued thereunder (collectively, as in effect from time to time, “Section 409A”) and shall be construed, administered and interpreted in accordance with such intention. If, as of the date of the Executive’s termination, the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, then to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A and to avoid the imposition of taxes and/or penalties under Section 409A, payment to the Executive of any amount or benefit under this Agreement or any other Employer plan, program or agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A and which under the terms of this Agreement or any other Employer plan, program or arrangement would otherwise be payable as a result of and within six (6) months following such termination shall be delayed, as provided under current regulatory requirements under Section 409A, until the earlier of (i) five (5) days after the Employer receives notification of the Executive’s death or (ii) the first business day of the seventh month following the date of the Executive’s termination.
Any payment or benefit under this Agreement that is payable upon a termination of the Executive’s employment shall only be paid or provided to the Executive upon a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. If the Executive or the Company determine that any payment, benefit, distribution, deferral election, or any other action or arrangement contemplated by the provisions of this Agreement would, if undertaken or implemented, cause the Executive to become subject to taxes and/or penalties under Section 409A, then such payment, benefit, distribution, deferral election or other action or arrangement shall not be given effect to the extent it causes such result and the related provisions of this Agreement will be deemed modified in order to provide the Executive with the intended economic benefit and comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
To the extent necessary to cause payments under this Agreement to be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A, the term Change of Control shall mean a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A.

Execution Version
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
Between:
CHRISTOPHER CARLSON
(the “Executive”)
And:
RITCHIE BROS. AUCTIONEERS (AMERICA) INC.,
a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington
(the “Employer”)
WHEREAS:
A. The Employer is in the business of asset management and disposition of industrial equipment; and
B. The Employer and the Executive wish to enter into an employment relationship on the terms and conditions as described in this Agreement;
NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSES THAT in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by both parties, the Employer and the Executive agree as follows:
1.EMPLOYMENT
a.The Employer agrees to employ the Executive pursuant to the terms and conditions described in this Agreement, including the appendices to this Agreement, and the Executive hereby accepts and agrees to such employment. Unless otherwise defined, the defined terms in this Agreement will have the same meaning in the appendices hereto.
b.The Executive will be employed in the position of Senior Vice President, Global Controller and such other duties and responsibilities consistent with his position as may be assigned by the Employer from time to time.
c.The parties acknowledge that Executive’s continuous service date is September 10, 2019. The Executive’s employment with the Employer hereunder will commence on April 7, 2024 (the “Commencement Date”) and will continue for an indefinite period of time until terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law (the “Term”).
d.During the Term, the Executive will at all times:
i.well and faithfully serve the Employer, and act honestly and in good faith in the best interests of the Employer;
ii.devote all of the Executive’s business time, attention and abilities, and provide his best efforts, expertise, skills and talents, to the business of the Employer, except as provided in Section 2(b);
iii.adhere to all generally applicable written policies of the Employer, and obey and observe to the best of the Executive’s abilities all lawful orders and directives, whether verbal or written, of the Board;
iv.act lawfully and professionally, and exercise the degree of care, diligence and skill that an executive employee would exercise in comparable circumstances; and
v.to the best of the Executive’s abilities perform the duties and exercise the responsibilities required of the Executive under this Agreement.
2.PRIOR COMMITMENTS AND OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES
a.The Executive represents and warrants to the Employer that the Executive has no existing common law, contractual or statutory obligations to his former employer or to any other person that will conflict with the Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.
b.During the term of this Agreement, the Executive will not be engaged directly or indirectly in any outside business activities, whether for profit or not-for-profit, as principal, partner, director, officer, active shareholder, advisor, employee or otherwise, without first having obtained the written permission of the Employer.
3.POLICIES
a.The Executive agrees to comply with all generally applicable written policies applying to the Employer’s staff that may reasonably be issued by the Employer from time to time. The Executive agrees that the introduction, amendment and administration of such generally applicable written policies are within the sole discretion of the Employer. If the Employer introduces, amends or deletes such generally applicable written policies, such introduction, deletion or amendment will not constitute a constructive dismissal or breach of this Agreement. If there is a direct conflict between this Agreement and any such policy, this Agreement will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.
4.COMPENSATION
a.Upon the Commencement Date, and continuing during the Term, the Executive will earn the following annual compensation, less applicable statutory and regular payroll deductions and withholdings:
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Compensation Element |
$US |
| Annual Base Salary |
$312,000 (the “Base Salary”) |
| Annual Short-Term Incentive |
60% of Base Salary at Target (the “STI Bonus”) (0% - 200% of STI Bonus target based on actual performance) |
| Annual Long-Term Incentive Grant |
Targeted at 60% of Base Salary (the “LTI Grant”)
Those eligible to participate in the Employer’s long-term incentive plan (LTI Plan) may be entitled to receive an equity award subject to the terms set forth in the relevant shareholder-approved equity plan. Grants under the LTI Plan are made at the complete discretion and subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee and are based on the recommendation of the senior management or the CEO of the Company.
|
b.The structure of the STI Bonus and LTI Grant will be consistent with those granted to the Employer’s other executives and is subject to amendment from time to time by the Employer. Currently, LTI grants for executives are provided as follows:
i.50% in stock options, with a ten-year term, vesting in equal one-third parts after the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date;
ii.50% in performance share units, vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date based on meeting pre-established performance criteria, with the number of share units that ultimately vest ranging from 0% to 200% of target based on actual performance.
c.The specific terms and conditions for the LTI Grant (including but not limited to the provisions upon termination of employment) will be based on the relevant plan documents.
d.Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, the Executive will be subject to any written clawback/recoupment policy of the Employer in effect from time-to-time, allowing the recovery of incentive compensation previously paid or payable to the Executive in cases of proven misconduct or material financial restatement, whether pursuant to the requirements of Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and the Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of any national securities exchange on which common stock of the Employer is listed, or otherwise.

b.The liability of the Employer with respect to the Executive’s employment benefits is limited to the premiums or portions of the premiums the Employer regularly pays on behalf of the Executive in connection with said employee benefits. The Executive agrees that the Employer is not, and will not be deemed to be, the insurer and, for greater certainty, the Employer will not be liable for any decision of a third-party benefits provider or insurer, including any decision to deny coverage or any other decision that affects the Executive’s benefits or insurance.
c.The Executive will be eligible to contribute to the Employer’s US-based 401(k) savings plan pursuant to the terms of that plan.

Such allowance shall be paid in accordance with the Employer’s regular payroll practices, as may be in effect from time to time, but in no event less frequently than monthly.
6.EXPENSES
a.The Employer will reimburse the Executive, in accordance with the Employer’s policies, for all authorized travel and other out-of-pocket expenses actually and properly incurred by the Executive in the course of carrying out the Executive’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the compensation provided under this Agreement represents full compensation for all of the Executive’s working hours and services, including overtime.

9.TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
a.Termination for cause: The Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time for Cause, after providing Executive with at least 30 days’ notice of such proposed termination and 15 days to remedy the alleged defect. In this Agreement, “Cause” means the willful and continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform, or otherwise properly carry out, the Executive’s duties on behalf of RBA Pubco or an affiliate, or to follow, in any material respect, the lawful policies, procedures, instructions or directions of the Employer or any applicable affiliate (other than any such failure resulting from the Executive’s disability or incapacity due to physical or mental illness), or the Executive willfully or intentionally engaging in illegal or fraudulent conduct, financial impropriety, intentional dishonesty, breach of duty of loyalty or any similar intentional act which is materially injurious RBA Pubco or an affiliate, or which may have the effect of materially injuring the reputation, business or business relationships of the Employer or an affiliate, or any other act or omission constituting cause for termination of employment without notice or pay in lieu of notice at common law. For the purposes of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on the part of an Executive shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive in bad faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive’s action or omissions were in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Employer and its affiliates.
In the event of termination for Cause, the rights of the Executive with respect to any performance share units (“PSUs”) or stock options granted pursuant to the Employer’s Performance Share Unit Plan (the “PSU Plan”) and stock option plan (the “Option Plan”), respectively, and pursuant to any and all PSU and stock option grant agreements, will be governed pursuant to the terms of the PSU Plan, Option Plan and respective grant agreements for such PSUs and stock options.
b.Termination for Good Reason: The Executive may terminate his employment with the Employer for Good Reason by delivery of written notice to the Employer within the sixty (60) day period commencing upon the occurrence of Good Reason including the basis for such Good Reason (with such termination effective thirty (30) days after such written notice is delivered to the Employer and only in the event that the Employer fails or is unable to cure such Good Reason within such thirty (30) day period). In the event of a termination of the Executive’s employment for Good Reason, the Executive will receive pay and benefits as if terminated by the Employer without Cause under Section 9. c., below, and the termination shall be regarded as a termination without Cause for purposes of the Option Plan and the PSU Plan. In this Agreement, “Good Reason” means a material adverse change by RBA Pubco or an affiliate, without the Executive’s consent, to the Executive’s position, authority, duties, responsibilities, Executive’s place of residence, Base Salary or the potential short-term or long-term incentive bonus the Executive is eligible to earn, but does not include (1) a change in the Executive’s duties and/or responsibilities arising from a change in the scope or nature of RBA Pubco’s business operations, provided such change does not adversely affect the Executive’s position or authority or (2) a change across the board affecting similar executives in a similar fashion.
c.Termination without Cause: The Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment at any time, without Cause by providing the Executive with the following:
i.subject to Section 9. i., Twelve (12) months’ Base Salary and STI Bonus at Target; and
ii.all equity awards will be governed by the terms of the relevant plan;
iii.continued extended health and dental benefits coverage at active employee rates until the earlier of the first anniversary of the termination of the Executive’s employment or the date on which the Executive begins new full-time employment.
d.Resignation: The Executive may terminate his employment with the Employer at any time by providing the Employer with two (2) months’ notice in writing to that effect. If the Executive provides the Employer with written notice under this Section, the Employer may waive such notice, in whole or in part, in which case the Employer will pay the Executive the Base Salary
only for the amount of time remaining in that notice period and the Executive’s employment will terminate on the earlier date specified by the Employer without any further compensation.
In the event of resignation, the rights of the Executive with respect to any PSUs or stock options granted pursuant to the PSU Plan and Option Plan, respectively, and pursuant to any and all PSU and stock option grant agreements, will be governed pursuant to the terms of the PSU Plan, Option Plan and respective grant agreements for such PSUs and stock options.
e.Retirement: In the event of the Executive’s retirement, as defined by the Employer’s policies, the rights of the Executive with respect to any PSUs or stock options granted pursuant to the PSU Plan and Option Plan, respectively, and pursuant to any and all PSU and stock option grant agreements, will be governed pursuant to the terms of the PSU Plan, Option Plan and respective grant agreements for such PSUs and stock options.
f.Deductions and withholdings: All payments under this Section are subject to applicable statutory and regular payroll deductions and withholdings in the US as applicable.
g.Terms of Payment upon Termination: Upon termination of the Executive’s employment, for any reason:
i.Subject to Section 9 b. and except as limited by Section 9. g. ii., the Employer will pay the Executive all earned and unpaid Base Salary, earned and unpaid vacation pay, and a prorated STI Bonus, up to and including the Executive’s last day of active employment with the Employer (the “Termination Date”).
ii.In the event of resignation by the Executive or termination of the Executive’s employment for Cause, no STI Bonus will be payable to the Executive; and
iii.On the Termination Date, the Executive will immediately deliver to the Employer all files, computer disks, Confidential Information, information and documents pertaining to the Employer’s Business, and all other property of the Employer that is in the Executive’s possession or control, without making or retaining any copy, duplication or reproduction of such files, computer disks, Confidential Information, information or documents without the Employer’s express written consent.
h.Other than as expressly provided herein, the Executive will not be entitled to receive any further pay or compensation, severance pay, notice, payment in lieu of notice, incentives, bonuses, benefits, rights and damages of any kind. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of a payment under Section 9b. or Section 9 c. of this Agreement, the Executive will not be entitled to any other payment in connection with the termination of the Executive’s employment.
i.Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a termination without Cause or termination for Good Reason, the Employer will not be required to pay any Base Salary to the Executive beyond that earned by the Executive up to and including the Termination Date or any portion of the STI Bonus, unless the Executive provides the Employer with an executed full and general release (the “Release”) of any and all claims that the Executive has against the Employer or its affiliates and such entities’ past and then current officers, directors, owners, managers, members, agents and employees relating to all matters, in form and substance satisfactory to the Employer.
j.Notwithstanding any changes in the terms and conditions of the Executive’s employment which may occur in the future, including any changes in position, duties or compensation, the termination provisions in this Agreement will continue to be in effect for the duration of the Executive employment with the Employer unless otherwise amended in writing and signed by the Employer.
k.Agreement authorizing payroll deductions: If, on the date the employment relationship ends, regardless of the reason, the Executive owes the Employer any money (whether pursuant to an advance, overpayment, debt, error in payment, or any other reason), the Executive hereby authorizes the Employer to deduct any such debt amount from the Executive’s salary, severance or any other payment due to the Executive.

If the Executive or the Company determine that any payment, benefit, distribution, deferral election, or any other action or arrangement contemplated by the provisions of this Agreement would, if undertaken or implemented, cause the Executive to become subject to taxes and/or penalties under Section 409A, then such payment, benefit, distribution, deferral election or other action or arrangement shall not be given effect to the extent it causes such result and the related provisions of this Agreement will be deemed modified in order to provide the Executive with the intended economic benefit and comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
To the extent necessary to cause payments under this Agreement to be exempt from, or comply with, Section 409A, the term Change of Control shall mean a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A
