Third-quarter revenue reached $129.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA $34.2 million as Workforce Hospitality Solutions scaled past 6,200 utilized beds.

Target Hospitality Corp. (TH), a provider of modular accommodations and hospitality services, reported third-quarter revenue of $129.1 million, up 30% from a year earlier and 51% from the prior quarter. The company said the increases were driven primarily by Workforce Hospitality Solutions growth and the completion of ramp-up phases at its Dilley, Texas community.

Adjusted EBITDA rose 59% to $34.2 million, with the margin expanding about 480 basis points to 27% of revenue. The company said the margin gain reflected a shift toward higher-margin hospitality services and greater operating efficiencies as WHS communities scaled.

The net loss widened to $9.2 million, or $0.09 a share, from a $0.8 million loss, or $0.01 a share, a year earlier. Average utilized beds across the company rose to 13,879 from 8,112, and utilization increased to 77% from 49%.

WHS was the operating core of the quarter. Segment revenue was $79.5 million, up 116% from $36.8 million a year earlier. Adjusted gross profit rose 509% to $39.8 million. Average WHS utilized beds increased to 6,222 from 127, utilization reached 97%, and the average daily rate was $132.04. The company attributed the increases to growing contributions across the WHS contract portfolio as several new communities advanced through ramp-up.

Since January 2026, Target has secured more than $1.7 billion of multi-year contract awards representing more than 10,000 beds, up from the over $1.4 billion and more than 9,000 beds cited in the second-quarter release. Utilized WHS beds exceeded 6,200 as of September 30. The company said it secured multiple scope expansions on recent awards, increasing total contract value by more than 10% over initial terms.

Hospitality & Facilities Services – South revenue declined to $32.6 million from $35.6 million a year earlier, and adjusted gross profit fell to $7.7 million. Average utilized beds in that segment dropped to 4,844 from 5,429; ADR rose to $72.19 and utilization held at 73%. Target said a portion of the bed decline reflected reallocation of existing assets to support recently announced WHS awards.

Government revenue fell to $13.7 million from $23.9 million, and adjusted gross profit declined to $3.4 million from $15.1 million. The company said the year-ago quarter included an approximately $11.8 million PCC contract close-out payment that did not recur, and that 2026 results included higher transitional costs tied to network optimization. It expects additional transitional costs in that segment over the balance of 2026, which it said are incorporated into the full-year outlook. All Other revenue was $3.2 million.

Capital expenditures were approximately $246 million in the quarter, primarily to support long-term WHS contracts, funded in part by customer advance payments. On July 24, 2026, Target closed a $660 million asset-based revolving credit facility. As of September 30, it had about $3 million of cash, about $223 million of ABL borrowings, about $437 million of undrawn ABL commitments, total liquidity of approximately $440 million, and a net leverage ratio of 1.4x. Liquidity was about $141 million and leverage 0.6x as of June 30. Year-to-date net cash provided by operating activities was $154.2 million and discretionary cash flow $150.0 million, which the company said was led by a significant increase in advance payments associated with WHS awards.

The company is reaffirming its full-year 2026 outlook of revenue between $435 million and $445 million, Adjusted EBITDA between $105 million and $115 million, and capital expenditures between $490 million and $510 million excluding acquisitions. It said the outlook reflects growing contributions from recently awarded WHS contracts as those communities scale. Target said it anticipates continued revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth as the WHS portfolio comes online through 2026 and into 2027, and that long-term contractual commitments, greater operating scale and strong unit economics are expected to drive further margin expansion. Based entirely on its existing contract portfolio and assuming no contribution from the commercial pipeline, the company said it is positioned to achieve annualized revenue exceeding $750 million and annualized Adjusted EBITDA above $300 million exiting 2027.

A geographically diverse pipeline exceeding 25,000 beds of potential opportunities, a portion in advanced contract discussions, underpins those plans. President and Chief Executive Officer Brad Archer said additional contracted capacity coming online is building a foundation for continued growth into 2027.
