CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023 (this "Report") includes "forward-looking statements," as that term is defined by the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our business plans and strategy, projected profitability, performance or cash flows, future capital expenditures, our growth strategy, including our ability to grow organically and through M&A, anticipated financing needs, business trends, our capital allocation strategy, liquidity and capital management and other information that is not historical information. Forward looking statements are generally identified by the words "estimates," "expects," "anticipates," "projects," "plans," "intends," "believes," "forecasts," "looks," and future or conditional verbs, such as "will," "should," "could" or "may," as well as variations of such words or similar expressions. All forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions and apply only as of the date of this Report. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that our expectations, beliefs and projections will be achieved.

There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those suggested by our forward-looking statements, including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 under Item 1A "Risk Factors," in Part II, Item 1A of this Report, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 1—Organization and Description of Business

Herc Holdings Inc. ("we," "us," "our," "Herc Holdings," or "the Company") is one of the leading equipment rental suppliers with 373 locations in North America as of June 30, 2023. The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through subsidiaries, including Herc Rentals Inc. ("Herc"). With over 57 years of experience, the Company is a full-line equipment rental supplier offering a broad portfolio of equipment for rent. In addition to its principal business of equipment rental, the Company sells used equipment and contractor supplies such as construction consumables, tools, small equipment and safety supplies; provides repair, maintenance, equipment management services and safety training to certain of its customers; offers equipment re-rental services and provides on-site support to its customers; and provides ancillary services such as equipment transport, rental protection, cleaning, refueling and labor.

The Company's fleet includes aerial, earthmoving, material handling, trucks and trailers, air compressors, compaction, lighting, trench shoring, and studio and production equipment. The Company's equipment rental business is supported by ProSolutions®, its industry-specific solutions-based services, which includes power generation, climate control, remediation and restoration, and pumps, and its ProContractor professional grade tools.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, however, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for complete annual financial statements and, accordingly, certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2023.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include receivables allowances, depreciation of rental equipment, the recoverability of long-lived assets, useful lives and impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets including goodwill and trade name, valuation of acquired intangible assets, pension and postretirement benefits, valuation of stock-based compensation, reserves for litigation and other contingencies and accounting for income taxes, among others.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Herc Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In the event that the Company is a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the variable interest entity are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for investments in joint ventures using the equity method when it has significant influence but not control and is not the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform with the presentation in the current year.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

As of June 30, 2023, the Company has implemented all applicable new accounting standards and updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that were in effect. There were no new standards or updates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 that had a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3—Revenue Recognition

The Company is principally engaged in the business of renting equipment. Ancillary to the Company’s principal equipment rental business, the Company also sells used rental equipment, new equipment and parts and supplies and offers certain services to support its customers. The Company operates in North America with revenue from the United States representing approximately 91.6% and 91.8% of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to 91.2% and 91.3% for the same periods in 2022.

The Company’s rental transactions are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, Leases ("Topic 842"). The Company’s sale of rental and new equipment, parts and supplies along with certain services provided to customers are accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"). The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.

The following summarizes the applicable accounting guidance for the Company’s revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions):

Topic 842 revenues

Equipment Rental Revenue

The Company offers a broad portfolio of equipment for rent on a hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis, with substantially all rental agreements cancellable upon the return of the equipment. Virtually all customer contracts can be canceled by the customer with no penalty by returning the equipment within one day; therefore, the Company does not allocate the transaction price between the different contract elements.

Equipment rental revenue includes revenue generated from renting equipment to customers and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the length of the rental contract. As part of this straight-line methodology, when the equipment is returned, the Company recognizes as incremental revenue the excess, if any, between the amount the customer is contractually required to pay, which is based on the rental contract period applicable to the actual number of days the equipment was out on rent, over the cumulative amount of revenue recognized to date. In any given accounting period, the Company will have customers return equipment and be contractually required to pay more than the cumulative amount of revenue recognized to date under the straight-line methodology. Also included in equipment rental revenue is re-rent revenue in which the Company will rent specific pieces of equipment from vendors and then re-rent that equipment to its customers. Provisions for discounts, rebates to customers and other adjustments are provided for in the period the related revenue is recorded.

Other

Other equipment rental revenue is primarily comprised of fees for the Company’s rental protection program and environmental charges. Fees paid for the rental protection program allow customers to limit the risk of financial loss in the event the Company’s equipment is damaged or lost. Fees for the rental protection program and environmental recovery fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the length of the rental contract.

Topic 606 revenues

Delivery and pick-up

Delivery and pick-up revenue associated with renting equipment is recognized when the services are performed.

Sales of Rental Equipment, New Equipment, Parts and Supplies

The Company sells its used rental equipment, new equipment, parts and supplies. Revenues recorded for each category are as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Sales of rental equipment	$	83	$	19	$	154	$	47
Sales of new equipment	4		2		5		4
Sales of parts and supplies	6		7		13		13
Total	$	93	$	28	$	172	$	64

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of rental equipment, new equipment, parts and supplies when control of the asset transfers to the customer, which is typically when the asset is picked up by or delivered to the customer and when significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer. Sales and other tax amounts collected from customers and remitted to government authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, excluded from revenue.

The Company routinely sells its used rental equipment in order to manage repair and maintenance costs, as well as the composition, age and size of its fleet. The Company disposes of used equipment through a variety of channels including retail sales to customers and other third parties, sales to wholesalers, brokered sales and auctions.

The Company also sells new equipment, parts and supplies. The types of new equipment that the Company sells vary by location and include a variety of ProContractor tools and supplies, small equipment (such as work lighting, generators, pumps, compaction equipment and power trowels), safety supplies and expendables.

Under Topic 606, the accounts receivable balance, prior to allowances for doubtful accounts, for the sale of rental equipment, new equipment, parts and supplies, was approximately $26 million and $9 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Service and other revenues

Service and other revenues primarily include revenue earned from equipment management and similar services for rental customers which includes providing customer support functions such as dedicated in-plant operations, plant management services, equipment and safety training, and repair and maintenance services particularly to industrial customers who request such services.

The Company recognizes revenue for service and other revenues as the services are provided. Service and other revenues are typically invoiced together with a customer’s rental amounts and, therefore, it is not practical for the Company to separate the accounts receivable amount related to services and other revenues that are accounted for under Topic 606; however, such amount is not considered material.

Receivables and contract assets and liabilities

Most of the Company's equipment rental revenue is accounted for under Topic 842. The customers that are responsible for the remaining equipment rental revenue that is accounted for under Topic 606 are generally the same customers that rent the Company's equipment. Concentration of credit risk with respect to the Company's accounts receivable is limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers makes up its customer base. The Company manages credit risk associated with its accounts receivable at the customer level through credit approvals, credit limits and other monitoring procedures. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts that reflect the Company's estimate of the amount of receivables that the Company will be unable to collect based on its historical write-off experience.

The Company does not have material contract assets or contract liabilities associated with customer contracts. The Company's contracts with customers do not generally result in material amounts billed to customers in excess of recognizable revenue. The Company did not recognize material revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 that was included in the contract liability balance as of the beginning of each such period.

Performance obligations

Most of the Company's revenue recognized under Topic 606 is recognized at a point-in-time, rather than over time. Accordingly, in any particular period, the Company does not generally recognize a significant amount of revenue from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods, and the amount of such revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was not material. We also do not expect to recognize material revenue in the future related to performance obligations that were unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of June 30, 2023.

Contract estimates and judgments

The Company's revenues accounted for under Topic 606 generally do not require significant estimates or judgments, primarily for the following reasons:

•The transaction price is generally fixed and stated on the Company's contracts;

•As noted above, the Company's contracts generally do not include multiple performance obligations, and accordingly do not generally require estimates of the standalone selling price for each performance obligation;

•The Company's revenues do not include material amounts of variable consideration; and

•Most of the Company's revenue is recognized as of a point-in-time and the timing of the satisfaction of the applicable performance obligations is readily determinable. As noted above, the revenue recognized under Topic 606 is generally recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer.

The Company monitors and reviews its estimated standalone selling prices on a regular basis.

Note 5—Business Combinations

On April 19, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Cloverdale Equipment Company ("Cloverdale"). Cloverdale was a full-service general equipment rental company comprising of approximately 120 employees and four locations serving industrial and construction customers with core operations in the metropolitan areas of Detroit and Grand Rapids, Michigan; Cleveland, Ohio; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The aggregate consideration was approximately $178 million. The acquisition and related fees and expenses were funded through available cash and drawings on the senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. There have been no material adjustments to the purchase price allocation of Cloverdale during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Pro Forma Supplementary Data

The unaudited pro forma supplementary data presented in the table below (in millions) gives effect to the acquisition of Cloverdale as if it had been included in the Company's condensed consolidated results for the entire period reflected.

Note 7—Leases

The Company leases real estate, office equipment and service vehicles. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of up to 16 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 20 years. The Company determines the lease term used to record each lease by including the initial lease term and, in the case where there are options to extend, will include the option to extend if it has determined that it is reasonably certain that the Company would exercise those options.

The Company also leases certain equipment that it rents to its customers where the payments vary based upon the amount of time the equipment is on rent. There are no fixed payments on these leases and, therefore, no lease liability or ROU assets have been recorded. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The effective interest rate for the fixed rate 2027 Notes (as defined below) includes the stated interest on the notes and the amortization of any debt issuance costs.

Senior Notes

On July 9, 2019, the Company issued $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of its 5.50% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes"). Interest on the 2027 Notes accrues at the rate of 5.50% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15. The 2027 Notes will mature on July 15, 2027. Additional information about the 2027 Notes is included in Note 11, "Debt" to the Company's financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

ABL Credit Facility

On July 31, 2019, Herc Holdings, Herc and certain other subsidiaries of Herc Holdings entered into a credit agreement with respect to a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Credit Facility"), which was amended and extended on July 5, 2022. The ABL Credit Facility provides for aggregate maximum borrowings of up to $3.5 billion (subject to availability under a borrowing base). Up to $250 million of the revolving loan facility is available for the issuance of letters of

credit, subject to certain conditions including issuing lender participation. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and limitations, the ABL Credit Facility allows for the addition of incremental revolving commitments and/or incremental term loans. The ABL Credit Facility matures on July 5, 2027. Additional information about the ABL Credit Facility is included in Note 11, "Debt" to the Company's financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility

The accounts receivable securitization facility (the "AR Facility"), as amended, matures on August 31, 2023 and has aggregate commitments of up to $335 million. In connection with the AR Facility, Herc and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries sell their accounts receivables on an ongoing basis to Herc Receivables U.S. LLC, a wholly-owned special-purpose entity (the "SPE"). The SPE's sole business consists of the purchase by the SPE of accounts receivable from Herc and the Herc subsidiary seller and borrowing by the SPE against the eligible accounts receivable from the lenders under the facility. The borrowings are secured by liens on the accounts receivable and other assets of the SPE. Collections on the accounts receivable are used to service the borrowings. The SPE is a separate legal entity that is consolidated in the Company's financial statements. The SPE assets are owned by the SPE and are not available to settle the obligations of the Company or any of its other subsidiaries. Herc is the servicer of the accounts receivable under the AR Facility. All of the obligations of the Herc subsidiary seller and the servicer and certain indemnification obligations of the SPE under the agreements governing the AR Facility are guaranteed by Herc pursuant to a performance guarantee. The AR Facility is excluded from current maturities of long-term debt as the Company has the intent and ability to fund the AR Facility's borrowings on a long-term basis either by further extending the maturity date of the AR Facility or by utilizing the capacity available at the balance sheet date under the ABL Credit Facility.

Borrowing Capacity and Availability

After outstanding borrowings, the following was available to the Company under the ABL Credit Facility and AR Facility as of June 30, 2023 (in millions):


	Remaining Capacity		Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation
ABL Credit Facility	$	1,547	$	1,406
AR Facility	15		10
Total	$	1,562	$	1,416

Letters of Credit

As of June 30, 2023, $25 million of standby letters of credit were issued and outstanding, $1 million of which have been drawn upon. The ABL Credit Facility had $225 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.

Note 9—Financing Obligations

In prior years, Herc entered into sale-leaseback transactions pursuant to which it sold 44 properties located in the U.S. and certain service vehicles. The sale of the properties and service vehicles did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting; therefore, the book value of the assets remain on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Note 10—Income Taxes

Income tax provision was $27 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $25 million in 2022. The increase in provision was driven by the level of pre-tax income, offset primarily by certain non-deductible expenses.

Income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $35 million compared to $34 million in 2022. The provision was driven by the level of pre-tax income, offset primarily by a benefit related to stock-based compensation of $12 million for six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and certain non-deductible expenses.

Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to a number of claims and proceedings that generally arise in the ordinary conduct of its business. These matters include, but are not limited to, claims arising from the operation of rented equipment and workers' compensation claims. The Company does not believe that the liabilities arising from such ordinary course claims and proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company has established reserves for matters where the Company believes the losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For matters where a reserve has not been established, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the individual litigated matters. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings could be decided unfavorably to the Company or any of its subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

Indemnification Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, the Company executes contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business or assets or a financial transaction. These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: accuracy of representations; compliance with covenants and agreements by the Company or third parties; environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations; employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; condition of assets; and financial or other matters. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. The Company regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur

costs associated with these indemnification obligations and has accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. The types of indemnification obligations for which payments are possible include the following:

The Spin-Off

In connection with the Spin-Off, pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement (agreements and defined terms are discussed in Note 16, "Arrangements with New Hertz"), the Company has assumed the liability for, and control of, all pending and threatened legal matters related to its equipment rental business and related assets, as well as assumed or retained liabilities, and will indemnify New Hertz for any liability arising out of or resulting from such assumed legal matters. The separation and distribution agreement also provides for certain liabilities to be shared by the parties. The Company is responsible for a portion of these shared liabilities (typically 15%), as set forth in that agreement. New Hertz is responsible for managing the settlement or other disposition of such shared liabilities. Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify New Hertz for any resulting taxes and related losses if the Company takes or fails to take any action (or permits any of its affiliates to take or fail to take any action) that causes the Spin-Off and related transactions to be taxable, or if there is an acquisition of the equity securities or assets of the Company or of any member of the Company’s group that causes the Spin-Off and related transactions to be taxable.

Note 13—Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximates the carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents primarily consist of money market accounts which are classified as Level 1 assets which the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company measures the fair value of cash equivalents using a market approach based on quoted prices in active markets. The Company had $6 million in cash equivalents at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Debt Obligations

The fair values of the Company's ABL Credit Facility, AR Facility and finance lease liabilities approximated their book values as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The fair value of the Company's 2027 Notes is estimated based on quoted market rates as well as borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities (Level 2 inputs) (in millions).

Note 15—Related Party Transactions

Agreements with Carl C. Icahn

The Company was party to the Nomination and Standstill Agreement, dated September 15, 2014 (the "Nomination Agreement"), with Carl C. Icahn and certain related entities and individuals.

Pursuant to the Nomination Agreement, Hunter C. Gary, Steven D. Miller and Andrew J. Teno were Icahn Group designees and elected to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. In March 2023, Messrs. Gary, Miller and Teno resigned from the Board as a result of the Icahn Group ceasing to hold a “net long position” above certain levels. As a result of their resignations, neither the Icahn Group nor the Company have any further duties or obligations under the Nomination Agreement, which is described below.

While an Icahn Group designee was a member of the Board, the Board could not be expanded without approval from the Icahn designees then on the Board. In addition, pursuant to the Nomination Agreement, subject to certain restrictions and requirements, the Icahn Group had certain replacement rights in the event an Icahn designee resigned or was otherwise unable to serve as a director (other than as a result of not being nominated by the Board to stand for election at an annual meeting).

In addition, until the date that no Icahn Group designee was a member of the Board (or otherwise deemed to be on the Board pursuant to the terms of the Nomination Agreement), the Icahn Group agreed to vote all of its shares of Company common stock in favor of the election of all of the Company’s director nominees at each annual or special meeting of stockholders and, subject to limited exceptions, the Icahn Group further agreed to (i) adhere to certain standstill obligations, including the obligation to not solicit proxies or consents or influence others with respect to the same, and (ii) not acquire or otherwise beneficially own more than 20% of the Company’s outstanding voting securities.

Pursuant to the Nomination Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, effective June 30, 2016 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with certain entities related to Carl C. Icahn, on behalf of any person who is a member of the “Icahn group” (as such term is defined therein) who owns applicable securities at the relevant time and is or has become a party to the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement provided for customary demand and piggyback registration rights and obligations.

Note 16—Arrangements with New Hertz

On June 30, 2016, the Company, in its previous form as the holding company of both the existing equipment rental operations as well as the former vehicle rental operations (in its form prior to the Spin-Off, "Hertz Holdings"), completed a spin-off (the "Spin-Off") of its global vehicle rental business through a dividend to stockholders of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Hertz Rental Car Holding Company, Inc., which was re-named Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("New Hertz") in connection with the Spin-Off. New Hertz is an independent public company and continues to operate its global vehicle rental business through its operating subsidiaries including The Hertz Corporation ("THC").

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into a separation and distribution agreement (the "Separation Agreement") with New Hertz. In connection therewith, the Company also entered into various other ancillary agreements with New Hertz to effect the Spin-Off and provide a framework for its relationship with New Hertz. The following summarizes some of the most significant agreements and relationships that Herc Holdings continues to have with New Hertz.

Separation and Distribution Agreement

The Separation Agreement sets forth the Company's agreements with New Hertz regarding the principal actions taken in connection with the Spin-Off. It also sets forth other agreements that govern aspects of the Company's relationship with New Hertz following the Spin-Off including (i) the manner in which legal matters and claims are allocated and certain liabilities are shared between the Company and New Hertz; (ii) other matters including transfers of assets and liabilities, treatment or termination of intercompany arrangements and releases of certain claims between the parties and their affiliates; (iii) mutual indemnification clauses; and (iv) allocation of Spin-Off expenses between the parties.

Tax Matters Agreement

The Company entered into a tax matters agreement with New Hertz that governs the parties' rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Spin-Off with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax contests and other tax matters regarding income taxes, other taxes and related tax returns.

We apply our best judgment, our knowledge of existing facts and circumstances and our knowledge of actions that we may undertake in the future in determining the estimates that will affect our condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis using our historical experience, as well as other factors we believe appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates.

OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

We are engaged principally in the business of renting equipment. Ancillary to our principal business of equipment rental, we also sell used rental equipment, sell new equipment and consumables and offer certain services and support to our customers. Our profitability is dependent upon a number of factors including the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of equipment. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of equipment or interest rates can have a significant effect on our profitability depending on our ability to adjust pricing for these changes. Our business requires significant expenditures for equipment, and consequently we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

Our revenues primarily are derived from rental and related charges and consist of:

•Equipment rental (includes all revenue associated with the rental of equipment including ancillary revenue from delivery, rental protection programs and fueling charges);

•Sales of rental equipment and sales of new equipment, parts and supplies; and

•Service and other revenue (primarily relating to training and labor provided to customers).

Our expenses primarily consist of:

•Direct operating expenses (primarily wages and related benefits, facility costs and other costs relating to the operation and rental of rental equipment, such as delivery, maintenance and fuel costs);

•Cost of sales of rental equipment, new equipment, parts and supplies;

•Depreciation expense relating to rental equipment;

•Selling, general and administrative expenses;

•Non-rental depreciation and amortization; and

•Interest expense.

Economic Conditions

We actively monitor the impact of the dynamic macroeconomic environment, including increased interest rates, supply chain constraints, and inflation and we manage our business to adjust to such conditions. Interest rates on our debt instruments remain elevated; most notably, the weighted average interest rate on our floating rate debt has increased from 2.56% in the second quarter of 2022 to 6.61% in the current quarter. We monitor our exposure to floating rate debt and reevaluate our capital allocation strategy, as necessary. In response to supply chain disruptions easing, we continue to increase the volume of sales of rental equipment, remaining mindful to the possibility we may experience more severe supply chain disruptions in the future. Although inflation has stabilized, we have experienced and may continue to experience inflationary pressures, a portion of which, such as for fuel and delivery, is passed on to customers. There are other costs for which the pass through to customers is less direct, such as repairs and maintenance, and labor. We cannot predict the extent to which our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will ultimately be impacted by these ongoing economic conditions, however, we believe we are well-positioned to operate effectively through the present environment.

Seasonality

Our business is seasonal, with demand for our rental equipment tending to be lower in the winter months, particularly in the northern United States and Canada. Our equipment rental business, especially in the construction industry, has historically experienced decreased levels of business from December until late spring and heightened activity during our third and fourth quarters until December. We have the ability to manage certain costs to meet market demand, such as fleet capacity, the most significant portion of our cost structure. For instance, to accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. A number of our other major operating costs vary directly with revenues or transaction volumes; however, certain operating expenses, including rent, insurance and administrative overhead, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand, typically resulting in higher profitability in periods when our revenues are higher, and lower profitability in periods when our revenues are lower. To reduce the impact of seasonality, we are focused on expanding our customer base through products that serve different industries with less seasonality and different business cycles.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

Equipment rental revenue increased $97 million, or 16%, during the second quarter of 2023 due to higher volume of equipment on rent of 17.3% and pricing growth of 7.8% over the same period in the prior year, partially offset by a decline in re-rent revenue and a reduction year-over-year in the studio entertainment business as a result of labor disruption in the film and television industry.

Sales of rental equipment increased $64 million, or 337%, during the second quarter of 2023 when compared to the second quarter of 2022 as we continue to increase the volume of sales in line with our fleet rotation planning to improve the equipment mix and manage fleet age. The margin on sales of rental equipment was 33% in 2023 compared to 26% in 2022. The increase in margin on sale of rental equipment in 2023 was due to a larger proportion of overall volume of sales through higher margin sales channels and continued strength in the market for used equipment.

Direct operating expenses in the second quarter of 2023 increased $34 million, or 14%, when compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily related to increases in (i) personnel-related expenses of $21 million resulting from increased headcount in support of growth initiatives, (ii) fleet related expenses, including maintenance expense of $10 million related to our increased fleet size and higher volume in 2023, and (iii) facilities expense of $6 million as we have added more locations through acquisitions and opening greenfield locations. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in re-rent expense of $4 million due to the corresponding decrease in re-rent revenue.

Depreciation of rental equipment increased $31 million, or 24%, during the second quarter of 2023 when compared to the second quarter of 2022 due to the increase in average fleet size. Non-rental depreciation and amortization increased $5 million, or 22%, primarily due to amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $14 million, or 14%, in the second quarter of 2023 when compared to the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to credit and collections expense of $6 million, general payroll and benefits of $3 million and selling expense, including commissions and other variable compensation increases, of $2 million.

Interest expense, net increased $29 million, or 116%, during the second quarter of 2023 when compared with the second quarter of 2022 due to higher interest rates on floating rate debt and increased borrowings on the ABL Credit Facility primarily to fund acquisition growth.

Income tax provision was $27 million during the second quarter of 2023 compared to $25 million in 2022. The provision in each period was driven by the level of pre-tax income, offset primarily by certain non-deductible expenses.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

Equipment rental revenue increased $224 million, or 20%, during the first half of 2023 primarily due to higher volume of equipment on rent of 20.0% and pricing growth of 7.4% over the same period in the prior year, partially offset by a decline in re-rent revenue and a reduction year-over-year in the studio entertainment business as a result of labor disruption in the film and television industry.

Sales of rental equipment increased $107 million, or 228%, during the first half of 2023 when compared to the first half of 2022 as we continue to increase the volume of sales in line with our fleet rotation planning to improve the equipment mix and manage fleet age. The margin on sales of rental equipment was 34% in 2023 compared to 30% in 2022. The increase in margin on sale of rental equipment in 2023 was due to a larger proportion of overall volume of sales through higher margin sales channels and continued strength in the market for used equipment.

Direct operating expenses in the first half of 2023 increased $89 million, or 19%, when compared to the first half of 2022 primarily related to increases in (i) personnel-related expenses of $49 million primarily resulting from increased headcount in support of growth initiatives, (ii) fleet related expenses including fuel and maintenance expense of $26 million related to our increased fleet size and higher volume in 2023, and (iii) facilities expense of $11 million as we have added more locations through acquisitions and opening greenfield locations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Depreciation of rental equipment increased $64 million, or 26%, during the first half of 2023 when compared to the first half of 2022 due to the increase in average fleet size. Non-rental depreciation and amortization increased $10 million, or 23%, primarily due to amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $31 million, or 17%, in the first half of 2023 when compared to the first half of 2022. The increase was primarily due to credit and collections expense of $10 million, selling expense, including commissions and other variable compensation increases, of $9 million, and general payroll and benefits of $4 million.

Interest expense, net increased $54 million, or 113%, during the first half of 2023 when compared with the first half of 2022 due to higher interest rates on floating rate debt and increased borrowings on the ABL Credit Facility primarily to fund acquisition growth.

Income tax provision was $35 million during the first half of 2023 compared to $34 million in 2022. The provision in each period was driven by the level of pre-tax income, offset primarily by a benefit related to stock-based compensation of $12 million and $8 million, respectively, and certain non-deductible expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary uses of liquidity include the payment of operating expenses, purchases of rental equipment to be used in our operations, servicing of debt, funding acquisitions, payment of dividends, and share repurchases. Our primary sources of funding are operating cash flows, cash received from the disposal of equipment and borrowings under our debt arrangements. As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately $3.5 billion of total nominal indebtedness outstanding.

Our liquidity as of June 30, 2023 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $37 million and unused commitments of approximately $1.4 billion under our ABL Credit Facility and AR Facility. See "Borrowing Capacity and Availability" below for further discussion. Our practice is to maintain sufficient liquidity through cash from operations, our ABL Credit Facility and our AR Facility to mitigate the impacts of any adverse financial market conditions on our operations. We believe that cash generated from operations and cash received from the disposal of equipment, together with amounts available under the ABL Credit Facility and the AR Facility or other financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures, and other strategic uses of cash, if any, and debt payments, if any, over the next twelve months.

Cash Flows

Significant factors driving our liquidity position include cash flows generated from operating activities and capital expenditures. Historically, we have generated and expect to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations. Our ability to fund our capital needs will be affected by our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and access to capital markets.

The following table summarizes the change in cash and cash equivalents for the periods shown (in millions):


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		$ Change
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	516	$	359	$	157

Financing activities	397		532		(135)
Effect of exchange rate changes	—		—		—
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(17)	$	17	$	(34)

Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we generated $157 million more cash from operating activities compared with the same period in 2022. The increase was related to improved operating results primarily resulting from higher revenues coupled

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

with improved operating leverage on costs, collection of receivables and the timing of payments on accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities increased $56 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 when compared with the prior-year period. Our primary use of cash in investing activities is for the acquisition of rental equipment, non-rental capital expenditures and acquisitions. Generally, we rotate our equipment and manage our fleet of rental equipment in line with customer demand and continue to invest in our information technology, service vehicles and facilities. Changes in our net capital expenditures are described in more detail in the "Capital Expenditures" section below. Additionally, we closed on six acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2023 for a net cash outflow of $272 million.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities decreased $135 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 when compared with the prior-year period. Financing activities primarily represents our changes in debt, which included net borrowings of $571 million on our revolving lines of credit and securitization, which were used primarily to fund acquisitions and invest in rental equipment during the period. Net borrowings in the prior year period were $587 million.

In accordance with our Share Repurchase Program, we may from time to time repurchase shares in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws. We repurchased approximately 990,000 shares for approximately $107 million during 2023 in accordance with our overall capital allocation strategy and as of June 30, 2023, $174 million remains available for repurchases.

In order to reduce future cash interest payments, as well as future amounts due at maturity or upon redemption, we may from time to time repurchase our debt, including our notes, bonds, loans or other indebtedness, in privately negotiated, open market or other transactions and upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine. We will evaluate any such transactions in light of then-existing market conditions, taking into account our current liquidity and prospects for future access to capital. The repurchases may be material and could relate to a substantial proportion of a particular class or series, which could reduce the trading liquidity of such class or series.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures relate largely to purchases of rental equipment, with the remaining portion representing purchases of property, equipment, and information technology. The table below sets forth the capital expenditures related to our rental equipment and related disposals for the periods noted (in millions).


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022
Rental equipment expenditures	$	703	$	556
Disposals of rental equipment	(131)		(47)
Net rental equipment expenditures	$	572	$	509

Net capital expenditures for rental equipment increased $63 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 as we optimize our fleet by continuing to invest in high growth markets as part of our long-term capital expenditure plans. Disposals have increased in the current year to maintain an appropriate mix of fleet and manage fleet age, while ensuring we have sufficient capacity of equipment to meet customer demand in light of the continuing constraints in the equipment market.

Borrowing Capacity and Availability

Our ABL Credit Facility and AR Facility (together, the "Facilities") provide our borrowing capacity and availability. Creditors under the Facilities have a claim on specific pools of assets as collateral as identified in each credit agreement. Our ability to borrow under the Facilities is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. We refer to the amount of debt we can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the "Borrowing Base."

Table of Contents

HERC HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

In connection with the AR Facility, we sell accounts receivable on an ongoing basis to a wholly-owned special-purpose entity (the "SPE"). The accounts receivable and other assets of the SPE are encumbered in favor of the lenders under our AR Facility. The SPE assets are owned by the SPE and are not available to settle the obligations of the Company or any of its other subsidiaries. Substantially all of the remaining assets of Herc and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our ABL Credit Facility. None of such assets are available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors. See Note 11, "Debt" to the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and Note 8, "Debt" included in Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" of this Report for more information.

With respect to the Facilities, we refer to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the Facilities (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow assuming we possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under the Facility. We refer to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the Borrowing Base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under the Facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow given the collateral we possess at such time).

As of June 30, 2023, the following was available to us (in millions):


	Remaining Capacity		Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation
ABL Credit Facility	$	1,547	$	1,406
AR Facility	15		10
Total	$	1,562	$	1,416

As of June 30, 2023, $25 million of standby letters of credit were issued and outstanding, $1 million of which has been drawn upon. The ABL Credit Facility had $225 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.

Covenants

Our ABL Credit Facility, our AR Facility and our 2027 Notes contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock or making other distributions), create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, fundamentally change the nature of our business, make capital expenditures, or engage in certain transactions with certain affiliates.

Under the terms of our ABL Credit Facility, our AR Facility and our 2027 Notes, we are not subject to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the ABL Credit Facility, failure to maintain certain levels of liquidity will subject us to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of June 30, 2023, the appropriate levels of liquidity have been maintained, therefore this financial maintenance covenant is not applicable.

At June 30, 2023, Herc Holdings' balance sheet was substantially identical to that of Herc, with the exception of the debt held by Herc Holdings (2027 Notes and ABL Credit Facility) and certain components of shareholders equity. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the statements of operations of Herc Holdings and Herc were identical with the exception of interest expense on the debt held at Herc Holdings that is not reflected in the statement of operations of Herc.

Additional information on the terms of our 2027 Notes, ABL Credit Facility and AR Facility is included in Note 11, "Debt" to the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. For a discussion of the risks associated with our indebtedness, see Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Dividends

On May 12, 2023, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.6325 per share to record holders as of May 26, 2023, with payment date of June 9, 2023. The declaration of dividends on our common stock is discretionary and will be determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion and will depend on our business conditions, financial condition, earnings, liquidity and capital requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts available to pay cash dividends are restricted by our debt agreements.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS AND ARRANGEMENTS

As of June 30, 2023, there have been no material changes to our indemnification obligations as disclosed in Note 17, “Commitments and Contingencies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. For further information, see the discussion on indemnification obligations included in Note 12, "Commitments and Contingencies" in Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" of this Report.

For information concerning contingencies, see Note 12, "Commitments and Contingencies" in Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" of this Report.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies" in Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" of this Report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates (including credit spreads), foreign currency exchange rates, and fluctuations in fuel prices. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage our exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments.

As of June 30, 2023, there has been no material change in the information reported under Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our senior management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For a description of certain pending legal proceedings see Note 12, "Commitments and Contingencies" to the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" of this Report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors from those previously disclosed under Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The instability of certain financial institutions may have adverse impacts on us and certain of our vendors and customers, which could negatively impact our cash flows, results of operations, and financial condition.

During 2023, there have been public reports of instability at certain financial institutions. Although we do not hold deposits or investments at these financial institutions, and despite the steps taken to date by U.S. and foreign agencies and institutions to protect depositors, the follow-on effects of the events surrounding recent bank failures and pressure on other financial institutions are unknown, could include failures of other financial institutions to which we face direct or indirect exposure, and may lead to significant disruptions to the cash flows, operations and financial condition of our vendors, customers, and/or us. Additionally, tight credit conditions could impair the ability of developers and contractors to effectively access capital markets or obtain reasonable costs of capital on borrowed funds, resulting in depressed levels of construction projects, including the cancellation or significant delay of projects. The inability of these constituents to borrow money to fund construction projects may reduce the demand for our products and services.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Share Repurchase Program

In March 2014, we announced a $1 billion share repurchase program (the "Share Repurchase Program"), which replaced an earlier program. The Share Repurchase Program permits us to purchase shares through a variety of methods, including in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws. We are not obligated to make any repurchases at any specific time or in any specific amount and our repurchases may be subject to certain predetermined price/volume guidelines, set from time-to-time, by our board of directors. The timing and extent to which we repurchase shares will depend upon, among other things, strategic priorities, market conditions, share price, liquidity targets, contractual restrictions, regulatory requirements and other factors. Share repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time-to-time, subject to legal and contractual requirements, without prior notice.

The following table provides information about our repurchases of our common stock during the second quarter of 2023:


Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Maximum Dollar Amount of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Program
April 1, 2023 to April 30, 2023	315,771	$	105.14	315,771
May 1, 2023 to May 31, 2023	182,920	103.06		182,920
June 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023	25,813	106.45		25,813
Total	524,504	$	104.48	524,504	$	174,252,799

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined under Item 408(b) of Regulation S-K.

Organization and Description of Business	Organization and Description of Business Herc Holdings Inc. ("we," "us," "our," "Herc Holdings," or "the Company") is one of the leading equipment rental suppliers with 373 locations in North America as of June 30, 2023. The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through subsidiaries, including Herc Rentals Inc. ("Herc").

In addition to its principal business of equipment rental, the Company sells used equipment and contractor supplies such as construction consumables, tools, small equipment and safety supplies; provides repair, maintenance, equipment management services and safety training to certain of its customers; offers equipment re-rental services and provides on-site support to its customers; and provides ancillary services such as equipment transport, rental protection, cleaning, refueling and labor.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	6 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, however, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for complete annual financial statements and, accordingly, certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2023. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include receivables allowances, depreciation of rental equipment, the recoverability of long-lived assets, useful lives and impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets including goodwill and trade name, valuation of acquired intangible assets, pension and postretirement benefits, valuation of stock-based compensation, reserves for litigation and other contingencies and accounting for income taxes, among others. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Herc Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In the event that the Company is a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the variable interest entity are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for investments in joint ventures using the equity method when it has significant influence but not control and is not the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Reclassifications Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform with the presentation in the current year. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements As of June 30, 2023, the Company has implemented all applicable new accounting standards and updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that were in effect. There were no new standards or updates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 that had a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Commitments and Contingencies	Jun. 30, 2023
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings The Company is subject to a number of claims and proceedings that generally arise in the ordinary conduct of its business. These matters include, but are not limited to, claims arising from the operation of rented equipment and workers' compensation claims. The Company does not believe that the liabilities arising from such ordinary course claims and proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has established reserves for matters where the Company believes the losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For matters where a reserve has not been established, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the individual litigated matters. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings could be decided unfavorably to the Company or any of its subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period. Off-Balance Sheet Commitments Indemnification Obligations In the ordinary course of business, the Company executes contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business or assets or a financial transaction. These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: accuracy of representations; compliance with covenants and agreements by the Company or third parties; environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations; employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; condition of assets; and financial or other matters. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. The Company regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and has accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. The types of indemnification obligations for which payments are possible include the following: The Spin-Off In connection with the Spin-Off, pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement (agreements and defined terms are discussed in Note 16, "Arrangements with New Hertz"), the Company has assumed the liability for, and control of, all pending and threatened legal matters related to its equipment rental business and related assets, as well as assumed or retained liabilities, and will indemnify New Hertz for any liability arising out of or resulting from such assumed legal matters. The separation and distribution agreement also provides for certain liabilities to be shared by the parties. The Company is responsible for a portion of these shared liabilities (typically 15%), as set forth in that agreement. New Hertz is responsible for managing the settlement or other disposition of such shared liabilities. Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify New Hertz for any resulting taxes and related losses if the Company takes or fails to take any action (or permits any of its affiliates to take or fail to take any action) that causes the Spin-Off and related transactions to be taxable, or if there is an acquisition of the equity securities or assets of the Company or of any member of the Company’s group that causes the Spin-Off and related transactions to be taxable.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions Agreements with Carl C. Icahn The Company was party to the Nomination and Standstill Agreement, dated September 15, 2014 (the "Nomination Agreement"), with Carl C. Icahn and certain related entities and individuals. Pursuant to the Nomination Agreement, Hunter C. Gary, Steven D. Miller and Andrew J. Teno were Icahn Group designees and elected to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) at the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders. In March 2023, Messrs. Gary, Miller and Teno resigned from the Board as a result of the Icahn Group ceasing to hold a “net long position” above certain levels. As a result of their resignations, neither the Icahn Group nor the Company have any further duties or obligations under the Nomination Agreement, which is described below. While an Icahn Group designee was a member of the Board, the Board could not be expanded without approval from the Icahn designees then on the Board. In addition, pursuant to the Nomination Agreement, subject to certain restrictions and requirements, the Icahn Group had certain replacement rights in the event an Icahn designee resigned or was otherwise unable to serve as a director (other than as a result of not being nominated by the Board to stand for election at an annual meeting). In addition, until the date that no Icahn Group designee was a member of the Board (or otherwise deemed to be on the Board pursuant to the terms of the Nomination Agreement), the Icahn Group agreed to vote all of its shares of Company common stock in favor of the election of all of the Company’s director nominees at each annual or special meeting of stockholders and, subject to limited exceptions, the Icahn Group further agreed to (i) adhere to certain standstill obligations, including the obligation to not solicit proxies or consents or influence others with respect to the same, and (ii) not acquire or otherwise beneficially own more than 20% of the Company’s outstanding voting securities. Pursuant to the Nomination Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, effective June 30, 2016 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with certain entities related to Carl C. Icahn, on behalf of any person who is a member of the “Icahn group” (as such term is defined therein) who owns applicable securities at the relevant time and is or has become a party to the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement provided for customary demand and piggyback registration rights and obligations. Arrangements with New Hertz On June 30, 2016, the Company, in its previous form as the holding company of both the existing equipment rental operations as well as the former vehicle rental operations (in its form prior to the Spin-Off, "Hertz Holdings"), completed a spin-off (the "Spin-Off") of its global vehicle rental business through a dividend to stockholders of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Hertz Rental Car Holding Company, Inc., which was re-named Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("New Hertz") in connection with the Spin-Off. New Hertz is an independent public company and continues to operate its global vehicle rental business through its operating subsidiaries including The Hertz Corporation ("THC"). In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into a separation and distribution agreement (the "Separation Agreement") with New Hertz. In connection therewith, the Company also entered into various other ancillary agreements with New Hertz to effect the Spin-Off and provide a framework for its relationship with New Hertz. The following summarizes some of the most significant agreements and relationships that Herc Holdings continues to have with New Hertz. Separation and Distribution Agreement The Separation Agreement sets forth the Company's agreements with New Hertz regarding the principal actions taken in connection with the Spin-Off. It also sets forth other agreements that govern aspects of the Company's relationship with New Hertz following the Spin-Off including (i) the manner in which legal matters and claims are allocated and certain liabilities are shared between the Company and New Hertz; (ii) other matters including transfers of assets and liabilities, treatment or termination of intercompany arrangements and releases of certain claims between the parties and their affiliates; (iii) mutual indemnification clauses; and (iv) allocation of Spin-Off expenses between the parties. Tax Matters Agreement The Company entered into a tax matters agreement with New Hertz that governs the parties' rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Spin-Off with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax contests and other tax matters regarding income taxes, other taxes and related tax returns.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, however, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for complete annual financial statements and, accordingly, certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2023. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include receivables allowances, depreciation of rental equipment, the recoverability of long-lived assets, useful lives and impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets including goodwill and trade name, valuation of acquired intangible assets, pension and postretirement benefits, valuation of stock-based compensation, reserves for litigation and other contingencies and accounting for income taxes, among others.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of ConsolidationThe condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Herc Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In the event that the Company is a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the variable interest entity are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for investments in joint ventures using the equity method when it has significant influence but not control and is not the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform with the presentation in the current year.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements As of June 30, 2023, the Company has implemented all applicable new accounting standards and updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that were in effect. There were no new standards or updates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 that had a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
