Regulatory pressure in connection with the introduction and expansion of electric, autonomous, and connected rental vehicles could require infrastructure improvement that could inhibit our current business model and negatively impact our ability to acquire, or increase our cost of acquisition for rental trucks. For example, the Advanced Clean Fleets regulation (“ACF”) adopted by the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”) would have required us to phase out certain internal combustion engine vehicles from our fleet and replace them with so-called zero-emission vehicles (“ZEVs”). California must request and receive a waiver from the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to enforce the ACF, and for now it has withdrawn its request for such a waiver. If California seeks and obtains such a waiver in the future, then to accommodate ZEVs, our Company-operated locations and independent dealer network may require physical upgrades that are uneconomical and/or unachievable. In addition, because many of our vehiclestrucks are used by our customers for one-way interstate moves, if the ACF or similar laws or regulations are adopted by federal, state, or provincial governments or regulators in the future, it could materially and negatively affect our operations across North America because our one-way rental vehiclestrucks travel throughout the U.S. and Canada. Under any such laws, our one-way rental business would depend, in whole or in part, on an in-transit recharging network throughout the United States and Canada to support electric vehicles or ZEVs. Such a recharging network does not exist today, and even if one is built, the increased rental cost, and time and cost required to charge electric vehicles or ZEVs may be so great as to substantially limit our ability to serve customers needing to move long distances.
We are encouraged that the U.S. Congress has passed resolutions, subject to signature by President Trump, rescinding waivers granted by the EPA to California for other CARB regulations that would have effectively imposed emissions limits and sales mandates on OEMs well beyond California’s borders. We are also encouraged by the Trump Administration’s actions to reverse and limit federal and state attempts to impose emission and other requirements that would effectively limit the availability of internal combustion vehicles for fleets such as ours. However, there is no assurance that courts or a future Congress or administration will not reverse such rescission of waivers or such actions by the Trump Administration or that California will not apply for and receive a waiver for the ACF. In addition, an existing agreement between OEM’s and California may require OEM’s to meet California’s emissions requirements and sales mandates for electric vehicles or ZEVs even if CARB’s regulations cannot be enforced. If that occurs, we may not be able to successfully adapt to the requirements of a changed regulatory or commercial environment that favors or requires all-electric or specific alternative fuel vehicles.
The operation of our moving and storage centers, our business of renting moving and storage equipment to customers, the sale of moving and storage supplies, towing accessories and installation, and our refilling of propane tanks exposes us to liability claims. These include but are not limited to claims for property damage, personal injury, and even death. We seek to limit the occurrence of such claims through the design of our equipment, communication of its proper use, repair and maintenance schedules, training of our personnel, risk management assessments, and by providing our customers with online resources for the proper use of products and services. Regardless, accidents still occur, and we manage the financial risk of these events through third partythird-party insurance carriers. While these excess loss and property insurance policies are available today at affordable costs, this could change and could negatively affect our results of operations and financial position. Changes in attitudes of juries and/or involvement of third parties in the litigation process through litigation financing could negatively affect our results.
We commit resources to prevention, detection, and mitigation to limit the adverse effects of cybersecurity incidents. We have implemented security protocols, backup systems and alternative procedures to mitigate these risks. We employ IT security team members that have cybersecurity experience or certifications and utilize third-party service providers and consultants to protect our systems and assist us in managing these risks. Our Board and its Audit & Cyber Committee exercise oversight of our cybersecurity risks and management's oversight of the processes and procedures that protect our systems and data. However, despite our security measures, we cannot guarantee that we will not be materially and adversely affected by cybersecurity incidents, including hacks of our systems, denial-of-service attacks, viruses and other malicious software (malware), team member error or malfeasance, phishing attacks, social engineering, security breaches, disruptions during the process of upgrading or replacing computer software or hardware, or other attacks that may jeopardize the security of information stored in or transmitted by technology systems and networks that we or third-party service providers maintain, which include cloud-based networks and data center storage.
In addition, our response to cybersecurity incidents, our investments in our technology, and our controls, processes, and practices, may not be sufficient to shield us from significant losses or liability. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently and are increasingly sophisticated, including as a result of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. Moreover, the techniques used may be difficult to detect, and often are not recognized until launched against a target. As a result, we may not anticipate an attack or respond adequately or timely, and the extent of a particular incident may not be immediately clear. It could take significant time before an investigation can be completed and reliable information about the incident becomes known. During an investigation, it is possible we may not know the extent of the harm, or how to remediate it, which could further adversely impact us. New regulations could result in us being required to disclose information about a cybersecurity incident before it has been fully investigated, mitigated, or resolved. Due to the risk of allegations by plaintiffs’ counsel or government regulators armed with the benefit of hindsight, we may be required to disclose information about a cybersecurity incident even before we determine whether it was material.
In addition, because our systems contain information about individuals and businesses, our failure to maintain the security of the data we hold, whether because of our own error or the malfeasance or errors of others, could lead to unauthorized access or the release of personally identifiable or otherwise confidential or protected information. Our failure to maintain the security of the data we hold could also violate applicable privacy, data security and other laws and subject us to lawsuits and regulatory enforcement resulting in fines. Regulators have been imposing new data privacy and security requirements, including new and greater monetary fines for privacy violations, such as those under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act. Other U.S. states and Canadian provinces have also proposed or adopted their own data protection legislation or regulations, which are often broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations and increasing enforcement. Some of these laws and regulations provide for statutory damages or fines even if we have used commercially reasonable efforts to protect our data and systems but a bad actor breaches our cybersecurity defenses and gains access to personally identifiable information. Even if no party incurs any actual damages, we could be punished by the government for criminal cyberattacks by bad actors, and the fines or other costs imposed upon us could reach amounts that could have a material adverse effect on us, our results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, new and existing data privacy laws and regulations could diverge and conflict with each other in certain respects, making compliance increasingly difficult. Complying with new regulatory requirements could require us to incur substantial expenses and change our business. As regulators become increasingly focused on information security, data collection, and privacy, we may be required to devote significant additional resources to dealing with their demands.
We experience daily threats to our data and systems. We have experienced cybersecurity incidents in the past, none of which, to date, has resulted in a material impact on our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. In 2021, we experienced a cybersecurity incident which is described in this Annual Report under the heading “Item 7 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Cybersecurity Incident”. Although past events have not resulted in a material impact on our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition, the impacts of cybersecurity incidents in the future could be material. Although we maintain insurance coverage for various cybersecurity risks, there can be no guarantee that we will be fully insured, or that insurance coverage will remain available for cybersecurity risks. Significantly, no amount of effort to deter, identify, mitigate, and/or prevent cybersecurity breaches can achieve 100% success in the current cyber threat environment. Given the financial reward reaped by threat actors for their illegal attacks on technology systems and access to data, and the inability of governments or private industry to fully prevent such attacks and resulting breaches, we expect such attacks to continue. We also expect governments to continue to punish companies that are victims of cyberattacks, whether through statutory fines or otherwise. We cannot provide assurance that we will not experience future cybersecurity incidents or that such incidents will not have a material and adverse impact on our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Investors who require any such assurance should not invest in the Company.

The truck rental industry is highly competitive and includes a number of significant national, regional and local competitors, many of which are several times larger than U-Haul. We believe the principal competitive factors in this industry are convenience of rental locations, availability of quality rental moving equipment, breadth of essential services and products and total cost. Our financial results can be adversely impacted by aggressive pricing from our competitors. Some of our competitors may have greater financial resources than we have. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain existing rental prices or implement price increases. Moreover, if our competitors reduce prices and we are not able or willing to do so as well,so, we may lose rental volume, which would likely have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations.
The self-storage industry is large and fragmented. We believe the principal competitive factors in this industry are convenience of storage rental locations, cleanliness, security, and price. Competition in the market areas in which we operate is significant and affects the occupancy levels, rental rates, and operating expenses of our facilities. Competition might cause us to experience a decrease in occupancy levels, limit our ability to raise rental rates, or require us to offer discounted rates that would have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Entry into the self-storage business may be accomplished through the acquisition of existing facilities by persons or institutions with the required initial capital. However, development of new self-storage facilities is more difficult due to land use, zoning, environmental, and other regulatory requirements. The self-storage industry has in the past experienced overbuilding in response to perceived increases in demand. Consolidation of ownership is taking place with certain owners of self-storage. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully compete in existing markets or expand into new markets.

The moving and storage industry is experiencing rapid changes in technology.
InNumerous addition, the movingcompetitors and storage industry has experienced rapid changes in technology. Numerous potential competitors are working to establish paradigm shifting technologies from self-driving vehicles to vehicle sharing services and other technologies that connect riders with vehicles. Additionally, customer demand for ease of online or app-based management of their moving and storage transactions continues to grow. Customers also increasingly turn to new technologies, such as artificial intelligence apps and chatbots to locate and compare products, including moving and storage products, and we may not successfully adapt our marketing and ability to reach customers through these new and developing platforms. There may be other innovations and technologies that could impact the do-it-yourself moving and storage industries that we cannot yet foresee. We actively develop and deploy new technologies, but we cannot ensure that our initiatives will be successful or timely, and our failure to effectively implement any initiative could have an adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Compliance with environmental requirements of federal, state, provincial and local governments in the United States and Canada affects our business. Among other things, these requirements regulate the discharge of materials into the air, land and waterwater, and govern the use and disposal of hazardous substances. Under environmental laws or common law principles, we can be held liable for hazardous substances that are found on real property we have owned or operated. We are aware of issues regarding hazardous substances on some of our real estate and we have put in place a remediation plan at each site where we believe such a plan is necessary. See Note 19, Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We regularly make capital and operating expenditures to stay in compliance with environmental laws. In particular, we have managed a testing and removal program since 1988 for our underground storage tanks. Despite these compliance efforts, the risk of environmental liability is part of the nature of our business.
Safety recalls on our trucks may adversely effect our financial condition or results of operations.
Our trucks may be subject to safety recalls, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. Such recalls may cause us to suspend rental of trucks to customers and/or prohibit us from selling the trucks. We are unable to predict or control what trucks could be subject to recall, how long they may be grounded or how quickly repair parts or services can be procured. These recalls could reduce revenue, increase costs and reduce residual values.
Since 1945, we have used certain trade dress, such as our distinctive orange U-Haul trucks, trailers, U-Boxes,U-Box portable moving and storage units, and orange door self-storage units and trademarks that include the color orange to distinguish our brand, products, and services. We believe that our rights in our intellectual property, including our rights to use the color orange in the promotion of our goods and services, are strong and well-supported. However, over the past fewseveral years, Public Storage has sought to prevent self-storage operators from using the color orange in connection with their self-storage services. We filed a lawsuit against Public Storage in the District of Arizona in December 2024, asking for a declaration that our trade dress and trademarks that use orange do not infringe on Public Storage's claimed intellectual property rights. While we believe we will be able to successfully protect our rights to continue to use the color orange to distinguish our brand, products and services, there can be no assurance of a favorable outcome. If we are unsuccessful, our ability to use these marks could be limited, which could adversely impact our financial condition or results of operations.
The One Big Beautiful Bill ("OBBB") was passed into law on July 4, 2025. This law prevents the sunsetting of some of the provisions from the Tax Reform Act that was enacted back in 2017. Some of the key tax updates from the law include reinstating of 100% bonus depreciation. This policy allows for immediate expensing of eligible business property in the year of purchase. OBBB also changed the law to allow for 100% expensing of U.S. based research and experimental expenditures. These changes allow us to take larger tax deductions in the present thus creating taxable losses for fiscal year 2026. These changes also increase deferred tax liabilities. Another key update is that it is now easier to recognize interest expense deductions under OBBB. The law changed to allow companies to deduct interest to the extent of their Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. This change allows us to recognize more interest expense for tax deduction purposes.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform Act”) and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) made significant changes to U.S. tax laws and include numerous provisions that affect businesses, including ours. For instance, as a result of lower corporate tax rates, the Tax Reform Act tends to reduce both the value of deferred tax assets and the amount of deferred tax liabilities. It also limits interest expense deductions and the amount of net operating losses that can be used each year and alters the expensing of capital expenditures. Other provisions have international tax consequences for businesses like ours that operate internationally. The CARES Act allows for the carryback of certain net operating losses. The Tax Reform ActOBBB is unclear in certain respects and will require interpretations and implementing regulations by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), as well as state tax authorities, and the Tax Reform Act and CARES ActOBBB could be subject to amendments and technical corrections, any of which could lessen or increase the adverse (and positive) impacts of thesethe acts. The Tax Reform Act put into place 100% first year bonus depreciation. This decreased to 80% starting in 2023, 60% in 2024, 40% in 2025, and will continue to gradually decrease in future years and will impact our tax liability.act. The accounting treatment of thesethe tax law changes wasis complex, and some of the changes affected both current and future periods. Others primarily affected future periods. Additional changes to the U.S. tax code could negatively offset operating cashflows.

Cybersecurity Incident
On September 9, 2022, we announced that the Company was made aware of a data security incident involving U-Haul's information technology network. U-Haul detected two unique passwords were compromised and used to access U-Haul customers' information. U-Haul took immediate steps to contain the incident and promptly enhanced its security measures to prevent any further unauthorized access. U-Haul retained cybersecurity experts and incident response counsel to investigate the incident and implement additional security safeguards. The investigation determined that between November 5, 2021 and April 8, 2022, the threat actor accessed customer contracts containing customers’ names, dates of birth, and driver’s license or state identification numbers. None of U-Haul’s financial, payment processing or email systems were involved. U-Haul has notified impacted customers and relevant governmental authorities.
Several class action lawsuits related to the incident were filed against U-Haul, which were consolidated into one action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona (the "Court"). On October 27, 2023, the Court dismissed with prejudice all claims, except those brought under the California Consumer Privacy Act. The parties settled all remaining claims for $5.1 million pursuant to a settlement agreement approved by order of the Court on October 25, 2024. The full amount of $5.1 million is covered by insurance and has been paid by the insurer into trust for disbursement in accordance with the terms of the settlement agreement.
The liability for future policy benefits for traditional and limited-payment long duration life and health products is determined each reporting period based on the net level premium method. This method requires the liability for future policy benefits be calculated as the present value of estimated future policyholder benefits and the related termination expenses, less the present value of estimated future net premiums to be collected from policyholders. Both the present value of expected future benefit payments and the present value of expected future net premiums are based primarily on assumptions of discount rates, mortality, morbidity, lapse, and persistency. The Company reviews,reviews at least annually, and updates as necessary, its cash flow assumptions (mortality, morbidity, lapses and persistency) used to calculate the change in the liability for future policy benefits at least annually.

The Company has traditionally funded the acquisition of self-storage properties to support U-Haul's growth through debt financing and funds from operations. The Company’s plan for the expansion of owned storage properties includes the acquisition of existing self-storage locations from third parties, the acquisition and development of bare land, and the acquisition and redevelopment of existing buildings not currently used for self-storage.

Our borrowing strategy has primarily focused on asset-backed financing, private placements and rental equipment leases.leases and private placement borrowings limited by the amount of unencumbered assets available. As part of this strategy, we seek to ladder maturities and fix interest rates. While each of these loans typically contains provisions governing the amount that can be borrowed in relation to specific assets, the overall structure is flexible with no limits on overall Company borrowings. Management believes it has adequate liquidity between cash and cash equivalents and unused borrowing capacity in existing credit facilities to meet the current and expected needs of the Company over the next several years. As of March 31, 2025,2026, we had available borrowing capacity under existing credit facilities of $475.0$465.0 million. While it is possible that circumstances beyond our control could alter the ability of the financial institutions to lend us the unused lines of credit, we believe that there are additional opportunities for leverage in our existing capital structure.

With respect to our storage business, we have added new locations and expanded existing locations. In fiscal 2026,2027, we are actively looking to complete current projects, increase occupancy in our existing portfolio of locations and acquire new locations.
