Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 12, 2026, Sunbelt Rentals Holdings, Inc.

The Company hereby incorporates by reference herein the information set forth in the Press Release, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

As previously announced, the Company has become the parent holding company of Ashtead Group plc, a company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“Ashtead”), pursuant to a court-approved scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the U.K. Companies Act 2006, as part of Ashtead’s previously announced intention to transfer its primary listing from the London Stock Exchange to the New York Stock Exchange and to change its corporate domicile to the United States (the “U.S. Redomiciliation”). As a result of the completion of U.S. Redomiciliation, the Company is transitioning its accounting standards from International Financial Reporting Standards to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). On March 12, 2026, the Company posted a presentation in the Investor Relations section of its website at https://ir.sunbeltrentals.com, which presents the Company’s income statement prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, by fiscal quarter, beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. A copy of the presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. The Company undertakes no obligation to update, supplement or amend the materials attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.

The information furnished under this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1, will not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and will not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
