The Rating Outlook is Stable. Fitch has also assigned a 'BB+' secured debt rating to EquipmentShare's asset-based lending (“ABL”) revolving credit facility and a 'BB' secured debt rating to its senior secured second lien notes. "Receiving our first issuer rating from Fitch is an important milestone for EquipmentShare as a newly public company. It reflects the strength of our post-IPO balance sheet, the quality of our rental fleet, and our improved financial flexibility," said Jabbok Schlacks, founder and Chief Executive Officer of EquipmentShare. "We remain focused on what has set us apart since 2015, disciplined organic growth powered by our proprietary T3 platform, and long-term value creation for our customers, capital partners, and shareholders." In assigning the ratings, Fitch cited EquipmentShare's expanding operations and scale, its young average fleet age supporting solid asset quality, robust liquidity, and improved leverage following its January 2026 initial public offering. The ABL facility was rated two notches above the IDR and the second lien notes one notch above the IDR, reflecting Fitch's view of recovery prospects for each instrument.
