Service Revenues. The increase in service revenues during the three months ended April 30, 2026 of $21.2 million, or 2.1 %, as compared to the same period last year resulted from (i) a decrease in the U.S. of $(3.2) million and (ii) an increase in International of $24.4 million. The decrease in the U.S. compared to the same period last year was primarily driven by a decrease in volume, partially offset by an increase in revenue per car. The growth in International, after excluding positive fluctuations in currency exchange rates of $8.7 million, was driven primarily by an increase in volume and an increase in revenue per car.

The decrease in service revenues during the nine months ended April 30, 2026 of $(12.5) million, or (0.4)%, as compared to the same period last year resulted from (i) a decrease in the U.S. of $(56.3) million and (ii) an increase in International of $43.8 million. The decrease in the U.S. compared to the same period last year was primarily related to the one-time revenue associated with hurricanes Helene and Milton recognized in fiscal year 2025 offset by an increase in revenue per car. The growth in International, after excluding positive fluctuations in currency exchange rates of $20.9 million, was driven primarily by an increase in revenue per car and an increase in volume.

The decrease in the U.S. was primarily driven by a decrease in volume, offset by an increase in revenue per car, which was due to a change in mix of vehicles sold.
