Upbound Group Reports Q3 2026 Earnings Beat with Strong Cash Flow and Debt Reduction
Upbound Group (UPBD) reported third-quarter 2026 results that exceeded management guidance across several key metrics. Despite a slight 1.6% year-over-year decline in total revenue to $1.15 billion, the company achieved an adjusted EBITDA of $123 million and a Non-GAAP EPS of $1.01, both surpassing previous projections. A significant highlight was the doubling of free cash flow to $121 million compared to the prior year. The company's strategy focused on prioritizing portfolio quality over transaction volume, particularly within its Acima segment, where Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) declined 11% but margins expanded due to disciplined underwriting. Additionally, the Brigit segment showed robust growth with a 37% increase in revenue and a 27% rise in paying users. Management also successfully reduced net leverage to 2.4x through significant debt repayments.
