Key Q&A
Q:What impact did weather have on Q4 results and Q1 guidance?
A:Q4 was quite warm, with NOAA data recording the third warmest period from November to January. There was a large ice storm in the last week of the quarter that kept technicians off the road. The impact of the storm was assessed based on early February results as latent demand was met.
Q:Why did incremental margins reach 36% this year, and can this level continue?

Q:What are the plans for sales capacity investments in 2026?

Q:What is the outlook for GTV growth in Q1?
A:GTV growth in Q1 may benefit from one additional business day and latent demand from ice storms in Q4 being met in early February.
