U-Haul Holding Company Reports Fiscal 2025 Financial Results

RENO, Nev.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
U-Haul Holding Company (NYSE: UHAL, UHAL.B), parent of U-Haul International, Inc., Oxford Life Insurance Company, Repwest Insurance Company and Amerco Real Estate Company, today reported net earnings available to shareholders for the year ended March 31, 2025, of $367.1 million, compared with $628.7 million for the same period last year.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company reported net losses available to shareholders of ($82.3) million compared with net losses of ($0.9) million, for the same period last year.

“We are seeing the high prices we paid for fleet replacements over the last thirty months impact the income statement. Reduced gains on the sale of rental equipment and increased fleet depreciation expense decreased earnings by nearly $260 million for the year compared to fiscal 2024. We have increased depreciation further to recognize this expense in the current period,” stated Joe Shoen, chairman of U-Haul Holding Company. “Both the truck acquisition and sale market are showing improvement. The automakers have abandoned the mirage of going net zero and hopefully will get back to offering reliable, fairly priced trucks in quantity.”

EARNINGS PER SHARE

We calculate earnings per share using the two-class method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. The two-class method allocates the undistributed earnings available to common stockholders to the Company’s outstanding common stock, $0.25 par value (the “Voting Common Stock”) and the Series N Non-Voting Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Non-Voting Common Stock”) based on each share’s percentage of total weighted average shares outstanding. The Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock are allocated 10% and 90%, respectively, of our undistributed earnings available to common stockholders. This represents earnings available to common stockholders less the dividends declared for both the Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock.

Our undistributed earnings per share is calculated by taking the undistributed earnings available to common stockholders and dividing this number by the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective stock. If there was a dividend declared for that period, the dividend per share is added to the undistributed earnings per share to calculate the basic and diluted earnings per share. The process is used for both Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock.

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters and years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 for our Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock were as follows:

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL RECONCILIATION SCHEDULE

As of April 1, 2019, we adopted the new accounting standard for leases. Part of this adoption resulted in approximately $1 billion of property, plant and equipment, net (“PPE”) being reclassed to Right of use assets – financing, net (“ROU-financing”). The tables below show adjusted PPE as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, by including the ROU-financing. The assets included in ROU-financing are not a true book value as some of the assets are recorded at between 70% and 100% of value based on the lease agreement. This non-GAAP measure is intended as a supplemental measure of our balance sheet that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe that the use of this non-GAAP measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating our financial condition. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Below is a reconciliation of Moving and Storage non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules, such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”). The Company believes that these widely accepted measures of operating profitability improve the transparency of the Company’s disclosures and provide a meaningful presentation of the Company’s results from its core business operations excluding the impact of items not related to the Company’s ongoing core business operations and improve the period-to-period comparability of the Company’s results from its core business operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for GAAP financial results and should only be considered in conjunction with the Company’s financial information that is presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measure reported is Adjusted EBITDA. The table below presents the reconciliation of the trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA measures to its most directly comparable GAAP measures.
