NACCO Industries posted an updated investor presentation on its website and furnished it under Items 2.02 and 7.01, with trailing twelve-month figures ended June 30, 2026.

On August 31, 2026, Ranger Energy Services agreed to acquire certain U.S. coiled tubing assets from STEP Energy Services for approximately $27.5 million, consisting of $22.5 million in cash and $5 million in Class A Common Stock.
