The One Marketplace vision reached a major milestone by integrating buy now and make offer capabilities onto the rbauction.com technology stack, unifying auction and fixed-price options for the first time.
Total GTV growth of 20% was driven by broad-based strength across all sectors, specifically fueled by market share gains in salvage and the successful scaling of the GSA contract.
The 186-basis point decline in service revenue take rate was primarily a strategic byproduct of expanding into higher-value asset classes, such as GSA vehicles and real estate, which carry lower percentage rates but attractive profit-per-unit economics.
Management reshaped the leadership structure to eliminate organizational layers and increase clarity, aiming for faster decision-making and direct accountability to drive margin expansion.
Automotive growth is benefiting from a buyer crossover effect where traditional salvage buyers are expanding into higher-condition remarketed vehicles, deepening overall marketplace liquidity.
Heavy equipment performance remained resilient despite some enterprise customers retaining fleets longer due to strong activity levels in their specific end markets.
The company is prioritizing the maximization of service revenue dollars and long-term profitability over maintaining a specific take rate percentage as the volume mix evolves.
The full-year 2026 outlook was raised to reflect continued marketplace momentum, strong operational execution, and the successful integration of recent acquisitions.
Management expects the service revenue take rate in the fourth quarter to remain broadly consistent with third-quarter levels as the current mix stabilizes.
A multi-year fee harmonization effort is underway to align the pricing structures of acquired businesses with the broader RB Global marketplace value proposition.
The company aims to grow adjusted EBITDA faster than service revenue by leveraging disciplined execution and operating leverage across the unified platform.
Future capital allocation will remain focused on value-creating opportunities, including potential M&A and continued share repurchases depending on market conditions.
The divestiture of DDI Technologies in the fourth quarter of 2025 impacted year-over-year take rate comparisons as it previously contributed revenue without associated GTV.
Share repurchases totaled $500 million year-to-date, reflecting a strategic focus on returning capital to shareholders while maintaining a leverage ratio of 1.8x.
Acquisitions and divestitures accounted for approximately 40 basis points of the total take rate decline, primarily due to the lower initial service rates of acquired regional models.

Management clarified that the remarketing of slightly distressed used cars is a core growth segment that aligns perfectly with their existing buyer base.
The GSA contract win from a year ago is now significantly contributing to the P&L and serves as a proof point for this strategy.
Leadership emphasized that compliance and 'knowing your customer' is an ongoing journey, particularly since the IAA acquisition.
Management explicitly stated that if there were material investigations or findings to disclose, they would be present in their SEC filings, which they currently are not.
Management asserted that increased liquidity remains a primary goal with no current threshold where additional volume would yield diminishing returns.
More assets on the platform consistently drive higher bid activity and improved average selling prices.
Integration follows a phased approach: first ensuring customer retention, then adding ancillary services, and finally migrating to the One Marketplace tech stack.
The ultimate goal is to harmonize fees for core asset classes like heavy equipment where RB Global provides significant value-added services.
