Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Aebi Schmidt” in this section of the Quarterly Report refer to Aebi Schmidt and its consolidated subsidiaries. The information presented herein is based on management’s perspective of Aebi Schmidt’s results of operations. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect future plans, estimates, beliefs and expected performance. The forward-looking statements are dependent upon events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside of Aebi Schmidt’s control. Aebi Schmidt’s actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause future results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section following the cover page to this Quarterly Report entitled “Forward-Looking Statements”, and Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report (Risk Factors), as well as the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”).
Overview
Aebi Schmidt is a provider of innovative technical products for cleaning and clearing traffic areas as well as mowing green spaces in particularly challenging terrain. The range of products include vehicles, attachable and demountable devices for individual vehicle equipment as well as related services. In addition, the Company manufactures and assembles specialty vehicles for commercial and recreational applications, including walk-in vans, truck bodies for last-mile delivery, vocation-specific upfit solutions, and luxury motorhome chassis. It also offers replacement parts, repair, maintenance, and refurbishment services for these vehicles. Aebi Schmidt covers the European and North American markets with its own sales organizations while clients outside of these markets are served either directly by the exporting subsidiary or indirectly by the worldwide dealer network.
On July 1, 2025, Aebi Schmidt acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of The Shyft Group, Inc. (“Shyft”), a niche market leader in specialty vehicle manufacturing and assembly for the commercial and recreational vehicle industries, through a merger (the “Merger”). The Merger involved 100% of the voting equity interests of Shyft, with the primary reasons for the combination being to enhance our product offerings in specialty vehicle solutions, develop our market share in North America, and to leverage Shyft's innovative design and manufacturing capabilities.
Aebi Schmidt operates in two reportable segments, which consist of (i) North America and (ii) Europe and the Rest of the World (“ROW”). Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results we may achieve for the full year ending December 31, 2026.
North America
Aebi Schmidt North America segment offers a wide range of vehicles, equipment, and services primarily across four of our five lines of business: Airport & Chassis, Commercial Trucks, Goods Transport, and Municipal. Aebi Schmidt operates as a key player in providing innovative solutions for snow removal, street cleaning, and other essential services that enhance infrastructure and public safety. The Merger with Shyft in July 2025 allowed Aebi Schmidt to penetrate additional markets and product lines, as well as combine Aebi Schmidt’s commercial business with Shyft’s fleet and commercial business, optimizing Aebi Schmidt’s purchasing and production capacity.
Europe and the ROW
In Europe and the ROW, Aebi Schmidt offers a wide range of vehicles, equipment and services primarily across three of our five lines of business: Airport & Chassis, Municipal and Agriculture. Aebi Schmidt has long-lasting relationships with airports and municipalities across Europe and with international customers. Aebi Schmidt offers a wide range of products tailored to European and international markets, including snowplows, street sweepers, multifunctional vehicles, and specialized equipment for airport operations. Aebi Schmidt has established a strong reputation for quality and reliability, with innovative solutions that enhance efficiency and sustainability through its technological features.
Key Performance Indicators
Aebi Schmidt reviews the following key performance indicators on a regular basis in order to evaluate the financial and operating performance of its business, identify trends affecting its performance, prepare financial projections, and make strategic decisions. Aebi Schmidt’s key performance indicators are not based on any standardized industry

methodology and are not necessarily calculated in the same manner or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Similarly, Aebi Schmidt’s key metrics may differ from estimates published by third parties or from similarly titled metrics of its competitors due to differences in methodology. The numbers that Aebi Schmidt uses to calculate its key performance indicators are based on internal data. While these numbers are based on what Aebi Schmidt believes to be reasonable judgments and estimates for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring usage and engagement. Increases or decreases in Aebi Schmidt’s key performance indicators may not correspond with increases or decreases in its revenue. Aebi Schmidt regularly reviews and may adjust its processes for calculating its internal metrics to improve their accuracy. In addition to the key performance indicators summarized below, Aebi Schmidt also evaluates certain non-GAAP financial measures (i.e. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin), which are further summarized in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below.
The following table presents a summary of Aebi Schmidt’s key performance indicators for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Aebi Schmidt utilizes non-GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, to complement its U.S. GAAP reporting and to assist stakeholders in evaluating and comparing its financial and operational performance over multiple periods, identifying trends affecting its business, formulating business plans, and making strategic decisions. There can be no assurance that Aebi Schmidt will not modify the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures in the future, and any such modification may be material.
Aebi Schmidt defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, further adjusted for foreign exchange gains and losses on external debt, restructuring and other related expenses, transaction related expenses, integration costs, settlement of acquisition, changes in repurchase liabilities for Aebi Schmidt’s employee share plan, pension related income, legal matters, changes in provisions for contingencies, non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, and other non-operating one-off items. Aebi Schmidt defines Adjusted EBITDA margin as a ratio of Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess Aebi Schmidt’s financial performance because it allows management and stakeholders to compare its operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of its capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense and income), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and other items (such as non-recurring costs) that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period.
In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future Aebi Schmidt may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in such presentation. Aebi Schmidt’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Aebi Schmidt’s operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin may be defined differently by other companies in its industry and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Aebi Schmidt’s primary liquidity needs are to fund general business requirements, including working capital, capital expenditures, restructuring costs and debt service requirements. Aebi Schmidt’s principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities, its revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and other debt issuances, and existing cash balances of $109.7 million as of June 30, 2026. Aebi Schmidt actively manages its working capital and associated cash requirements and continually seeks more effective uses of cash.

Aebi Schmidt believes that its available liquidity will be sufficient to meet its current obligations for a period of at least 12 months from the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report and foreseeable future thereafter, and its liquidity will be sufficient to finance its operating and capital needs, including day to day operations, capital expenditures, research and development, investments in information technology systems, dividends and potential future acquisitions.

The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by an increase of $29.0 million related to net income adjusted for non-cash charges, a favorable change in accounts receivable and contract assets of $23.2 million, a favorable change in inventory of $2.0 million, and a favorable change in contract liabilities of $11.2 million. These favorable changes were primarily offset by an unfavorable change in accounts payable of $53.4 million due to increased purchases of raw materials, and an unfavorable change in remaining balance sheet items of $1.5 million.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $1.1 million, or 23%, to $3.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, from cash used in investing activities of $4.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in cash spent on purchases of property, plant and equipment of $0.6 million and increase in proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment of $0.4 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $3.8 million to $25.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, from net cash provided by $21.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher borrowings of $4.4 million, lower dividend payments of $5.6 million, and lower deferred payments related to historical transactions of $4.8 million. The increase was partially offset by higher payments on debt of $9.5 million and higher payments related to exercising and vesting of stock incentive awards of $1.2 million.
