Herc Holdings Reports Nine Months 2024 Results and
Updates 2024 Full Year Guidance

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights
–Record equipment rental revenue of $866 million, an increase of 13%
–Record total revenues of $965 million, an increase of 6%
–Rental pricing increased 2.3% year-over-year
–M&A and greenfield openings offset impact from decelerating local-market revenue growth
–Net income increased 8% to $122 million, or $4.28 per diluted share
–Adjusted EBITDA of $446 million increased 9%; adjusted EBITDA margin of 46.2%
–Free cash flow of $218 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024

Bonita Springs, Fla., October 22, 2024 -- Herc Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HRI) ("Herc Holdings" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
“In the third quarter, we significantly outpaced overall industry growth on both a total rental revenue basis and from an organic revenue perspective,” said Larry Silber, president and chief executive officer. “By capitalizing on our broad end-market coverage, diversified product and services offering and expanding share in resilient urban markets, we continue to deliver strong volume and a solid price/mix performance.

“We increased third quarter rental revenue by 13% to a new quarterly record, primarily reflecting the continued robust growth from mega projects and contributions from our increased branch network and recent acquisitions. This growth was achieved despite a tough year-over-year comparison and a challenging interest rate environment for local-project starts,” said Silber.

“As we manage the complexities of disparate levels of demand across geographies, end markets and project types, our team is agile and remains focused on aligning costs and balancing fleet, while continuing to support the growth of our business and deliver outstanding customer service.”

2024 Third Quarter Financial Results

•Total revenues increased 6% to $965 million compared to $908 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase of $57 million primarily related to an increase in equipment rental revenue of $101 million, reflecting positive pricing of 2.3% and increased volume of 10.7%. Sales of rental equipment decreased by $43 million during the period. Fleet rotation in the prior year period was accelerated due to easing of supply chain disruptions in certain categories of equipment.

•Dollar utilization increased to 42.2% in the third quarter compared to 42.1% in the prior-year period.

•Direct operating expenses were $334 million, or 38.6% of equipment rental revenue, compared to $288 million, or 37.6% in the prior-year period. The increase related primarily to the growth of the business with personnel and facilities costs associated with greenfields and acquisitions.

•Depreciation of rental equipment increased 4% to $174 million due to higher year-over-year average fleet size. Non-rental depreciation and amortization increased 14% to $33 million primarily due to amortization of acquisition intangible assets.


1


•Selling, general and administrative expenses was $123 million, or 14.2% of equipment rental revenue, compared to $115 million, or 15.0% in the prior-year period due to continued focus on improving operating leverage while expanding revenues.

•Interest expense increased to $69 million compared with $60 million in the prior-year period due to increased borrowings primarily to fund acquisition growth and invest in rental equipment.

•Net income was $122 million compared to $113 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income increased 9% to $124 million, or $4.35 per diluted share, compared to $114 million, or $4.00 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. The effective tax rate was 24% compared to 23% in the prior-year period.

•Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% to $446 million compared to $410 million in the prior-year period and adjusted EBITDA margin was 46.2% compared to 45.2% in the prior-year period.

2024 Nine Months Financial Results

•Total revenues increased 7% to $2,617 million compared to $2,450 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase of $167 million primarily related to an increase in equipment rental revenue of $229 million, reflecting positive pricing of 3.5% and increased volume of 8.4%, partially offset by unfavorable mix driven primarily by inflation. Sales of rental equipment decreased by $63 million during the period. Fleet rotation in the prior year period was accelerated due to easing of supply chain disruptions in certain categories of equipment.

•Dollar utilization increased to 41.0% compared to 40.8% in the prior-year period.

•Direct operating expenses were $967 million, or 41.1% of equipment rental revenue, compared to $851 million, or 40.1% in the prior-year period. The increase related primarily to the growth of the business with personnel and facilities costs associated with greenfields and acquisitions. Additionally, delivery expenses were higher due to internal transfers of equipment to branches in higher growth regions to drive fleet efficiency. Finally, insurance expense increased, primarily related to increased self insurance reserves due to claims development attributable to unsettled cases.

•Depreciation of rental equipment increased 4% to $499 million due to higher year-over-year average fleet size. Non-rental depreciation and amortization increased 11% to $92 million primarily due to amortization of acquisition intangible assets.

•Selling, general and administrative expenses were $358 million, or 15.2% of equipment rental revenue, compared to $332 million, or 15.7% in the prior-year period due to continued focus on improving operating leverage while expanding revenues.

•Interest expense increased to $193 million compared with $162 million in the prior-year period due to increased borrowings primarily to fund acquisition growth and invest in rental equipment.

•Net income was $257 million compared to $256 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income increased 2% to $265 million, or $9.30 per diluted share, compared to $260 million, or $9.03 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. The effective tax rate was 23% compared to 21% in the prior-year period.

•Net debt was $4.0 billion as of September 30, 2024, with net leverage of 2.7x compared to 2.5x in the same prior-year period. Cash and cash equivalents and unused commitments under the ABL Credit Facility contributed to approximately $1.9 billion of liquidity as of September 30, 2024.

•The Company declared its quarterly dividend of $0.665 paid to shareholders of record as of August 23, 2024 on September 6, 2024.

Outlook
The Company is updating its full year 2024 equipment rental revenue growth and gross and net rental capital expenditures guidance ranges, while reaffirming its adjusted EBITDA guidance range, presented below, which excludes the Cinelease studio entertainment and lighting and grip equipment rental business. The guidance range for the full year 2024 adjusted EBITDA reflects an increase of 6% to 9% compared to full year 2023 results, excluding Cinelease. The sale process for the Cinelease studio entertainment business is ongoing.
PriorCurrent
Equipment rental revenue growth:
7% to 10%
9.5% to 11%
Adjusted EBITDA:
$1.55 billion to $1.60 billion
$1.55 billion to $1.60 billion
Net rental equipment capital expenditures after gross capex:
$500 million to $700 million, after gross capex of $750 million to $1 billion
$650 million to $700 million after gross capex of $950 million to $1 billion
As a leader in an industry where scale matters, the Company expects to continue to gain share by capturing an outsized position of the forecasted higher construction spending in 2024 by investing in its fleet, optimizing its existing fleet, capitalizing on strategic acquisitions and greenfield opportunities, and cross-selling a diversified product portfolio.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements as that term is defined by the federal securities laws, including 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, exploring strategic alternatives for Cinelease, including the timing of the review process, the outcome of the process and the costs and benefits of the process, 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 there can be no assurance that our current expectations will be achieved. They are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties - many of which are beyond our control - as well as potentially inaccurate assumptions, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Further information on the risks that may affect our business is included in filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and in our other SEC filings.

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results calculated according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has provided certain information in this release that is not calculated according to GAAP (“non-GAAP”), such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted common share, free cash flow and certain results excluding the Cinelease studio entertainment business. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate operating performance and period-over-period performance of our core business without regard to potential distortions, and believes that investors will likewise find these non-GAAP measures useful in evaluating the Company’s performance. These measures are frequently used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. For the definitions of these terms, further information about management’s use of these measures as well as a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the supplemental schedules that accompany this release.

EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA RECONCILIATIONS
Unaudited
(In millions)


EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA represents the sum of net income (loss), provision (benefit) for income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation of rental equipment and non-rental depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus the sum of transaction related costs, restructuring and restructuring related charges, spin-off costs, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, loss on extinguishment of debt (which is included in interest expense, net), impairment charges, gain (loss) on the disposal of a business and certain other items. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA do not purport to be alternatives to net income as an indicator of operating performance. Additionally, neither measure purports to be an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments and tax payments.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin - Adjusted EBITDA Margin, calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Total Revenues, is a commonly used profitability ratio.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share - Adjusted Net Income represents the sum of net income (loss), restructuring and restructuring related charges, spin-off costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, impairment charges, transaction related costs, gain (loss) on the disposal of a business and certain other items. Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share represents Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share are important measures to evaluate our results of operations between periods on a more comparable basis and to help investors analyze underlying trends in our business, evaluate the performance of our business both on an absolute basis and relative to our peers and the broader market, provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and operational strength of our business.

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less rental equipment expenditures and non-rental capital expenditures, plus proceeds from disposal of rental equipment, proceeds from disposal of property and equipment, and other investing activities. Free cash flow is used by management in analyzing the Company’s ability to service and repay its debt, fund potential acquisitions and to forecast future periods. However, this measure does not represent funds available for investment or other discretionary uses since it does not deduct cash used to service debt or for other non-discretionary expenditures.

Q3 2024Herc Holdings Inc. NYSE: HRI 3 Safe Harbor Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes forward-looking statements as that term is defined by the federal securities laws, including 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, exploring strategic alternatives for Cinelease, including the timing of the review process, the outcome of the process and the costs and benefits of the process, 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, there can be no assurance that our current expectations will be achieved. They are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties - many of which are beyond our control - as well as potentially inaccurate assumptions, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Further information on the risks that may affect our business is included in filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and in our other SEC filings. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward- looking statements that have been made to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to results calculated according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has provided certain information in this presentation that is not calculated according to GAAP (“non-GAAP”), such as adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, REBITDA, REBITDA margin, REBITDA flow-through and free cash flow. Additionally, certain results are presented excluding the Cinelease studio entertainment business. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate operating performance and period-over-period performance of our core business without regard to potential distortions, and believes that investors will likewise find these non-GAAP measures useful in evaluating the Company’s performance. These measures are frequently used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. For the definitions of these terms, further information about management’s use of these measures as well as a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the appendix that accompanies this presentation.

The company’s ROIC metric uses after-tax operating income for the trailing 12 months divided by average stockholders’ equity, debt and deferred taxes, net of average cash. To mitigate the volatility related to fluctuations in the company’s tax rate from period to period, the U.S. federal corporate statutory tax rate of 21% was used to calculate after-tax operating income.

Q3 2024Herc Holdings Inc. NYSE: HRI 22 Glossary of Terms Commonly Use in the Industry OEC: Original Equipment Cost which is an operating measure based on the guidelines of the American Rental Association (ARA), which is calculated as the cost of the asset at the time it was first purchased plus additional capitalized refurbishment costs (with the basis of refurbished assets reset at the refurbishment date). Fleet Age: The OEC weighted age of the entire fleet, based on ARA guidelines. Net Fleet Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures of rental equipment minus the proceeds from disposal of rental equipment. Dollar Utilization ($ UT): Dollar utilization is an operating measure calculated by dividing equipment rental revenue (excluding re-rent, delivery, pick-up and other ancillary revenue) by the average OEC of the equipment fleet for the relevant time period, based on ARA guidelines. Pricing: Change in pure pricing achieved in one period versus another period. This is applied both to year-over-year and sequential comparisons. Rental rates are based on ARA guidelines and are calculated based on the category class rate variance achieved either year-over-year or sequentially for any fleet that qualifies for the fleet base and weighted by the prior year revenue mix.

Q3 2024Herc Holdings Inc. NYSE: HRI 24 Reconciliation of Net Income to Adj. EBITDA and Adj. EBITDA Margin, Rental Adj. EBITDA (REBITDA), REBITDA Margin and Flow-Through EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and REBITDA—EBITDA represents the sum of net income, provision (benefit) for income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation of rental equipment and non-rental depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus the sum of transaction related costs, restructuring and restructuring related charges, spin-off costs, non-cash stock based compensation charges, loss on extinguishment of debt (which is included in interest expense, net), impairment charges, gain (loss) on disposal of a business and certain other items. REBITDA represents Adjusted EBITDA excluding the gain (loss) on sales of rental equipment and new equipment, parts and supplies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and REBITDA do not purport to be alternatives to net income as an indicator of operating performance. Additionally, none of these measures purports to be an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments and tax payments. Adjusted EBITDA Margin, REBITDA Margin and REBITDA Flow-Through—Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Adjusted EBITDA / Total Revenues) is a commonly used profitability ratio. REBITDA Margin (REBITDA / Equipment rental, service and other revenues) and REBITDA Flow- Through (the year-over-year change in REBITDA/the year-over-year change in Equipment rental, service, and other revenues) are useful operating profitability ratios to management and investors.

Further, since all companies do not use identical calculations, our definition and presentation of this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less rental equipment expenditures and non-rental capital expenditures, plus proceeds from disposal of rental equipment, proceeds from disposal of property and equipment, and other investing activities. Free cash flow is used by management in analyzing the Company’s ability to service and repay its debt, fund potential acquisitions and to forecast future periods. However, this measure does not represent funds available for investment or other discretionary uses since it does not deduct cash used to service debt or for other non- discretionary expenditures.
