RITCHIE BROS. AND SMITH BROUGHTON GENERATE RECORD AU$100 MILLION+ AT AUSTRALIA'S EOFY AUCTIONS

RB Global Inc.'s Ritchie Bros. has released record combined results at its 2026 Australia National End of Financial Year (EOFY) auctions, held across the company's national network of yards.

The auctions combined generated over $100-million (Australian) in gross transaction value (GTV), marketing an extraordinary milestone for the group's Australian footprint. A total of 5,516 lots sold across 10 auctions, spanning earthmoving equipment, trucks, trailers, agricultural machinery and mining assets.

Nearly 11,000 bidders registered to participate, including international bidders from more than 20 countries outside Australia, among them the United States, Canada, New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. The auction drew over 2,300 total buyers, with Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland representing the largest concentration of domestic activity and international buyers transacting from countries, including the U.S., New Zealand and Egypt.

"Breaking our own national record back-to-back shows just how much confidence both buyers and sellers have in the Ritchie Bros. platform," said Dom McGlinchey, sales director, Asia-Pacific, at Ritchie Bros. "By combining the strengths of Ritchie Bros. and Smith Broughton, we have unlocked a larger, more connected marketplace across Australia. Bringing together our complementary customer bases and inventory has significantly increased market liquidity and global buyer participation. This strong momentum, including more than 600 assets from the Garraway Group, translated directly into deeper competition and outstanding results on sale day."

Ritchie Bros. will continue its 2026 global auction calendar with upcoming unreserved events across North America and around the world. Sellers with equipment to move can request a complimentary valuation or connect with a regional Ritchie Bros. representative.
