Herc Holdings Reports 2020 First Quarter Results
–Increased equipment rental revenue 2.4% to $386.5 million, with improved pricing of 2.4%
–Reported total revenues of $436.2 million and net loss of $3.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share
–Increased adjusted EBITDA 3.8% to $147.7 million with 400 basis point improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin to 33.9%
–Uncertainty related to future impact of COVID-19 results in withdrawal of 2020 guidance
Bonita Springs, Fla., April 23, 2020 -- Herc Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HRI) ("Herc Holdings" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Equipment rental revenue was $386.5 million and total revenues were $436.2 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $377.6 million and $475.7 million, respectively, for the same period last year. The Company reported a net loss of $3.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2020, compared to a net loss of $6.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the same 2019 period. First quarter 2020 adjusted net income was $1.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $6.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in 2019. See page A-5 for a description of the items excluded in calculating adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share.
"Equipment rental revenue improved year-over-year in the first quarter primarily due to positive rate growth," said Larry Silber, president and chief executive officer. "We controlled direct operating expenses and reduced selling, general and administrative expenses compared with last year, contributing to our growth in adjusted EBITDA and a 400 basis point improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin in the first quarter."
"In response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in North America, we communicated and implemented safety and operating procedures based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's guidelines to our employees and customers. We are proud to be providing essential support to customers in a diverse mix of critical infrastructure sectors and nearly all of our branches are open and operating. Our ProSolutions® team has been especially busy providing critical support to medical centers, hospitals and additional patient facilities. Our foremost priorities are the health and safety of our team, customers and communities, while supporting the needs of critical services and operations throughout North America," Silber said.
Quarter Highlights
•Equipment rental revenue in the first quarter of 2020 increased 2.4% to $386.5 million compared to $377.6 million in the prior-year quarter. Strong year-over-year improvement in pricing was partially offset by lower volume, as the impact of COVID-19 related orders began to slow the typical upturn in seasonal volume in mid-March.
•Total revenues were $436.2 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $475.7 million in the prior-year period. The $39.5 million decline was related primarily to a reduction in sales of rental equipment of $45.1 million, and $3.9 million reduction in sales of new equipment, parts and supplies compared to the prior year. Those reductions were partially offset by an increase in equipment rental revenue of $8.9 million.
•Pricing increased 2.4% in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.
•Dollar utilization increased to 35.7% in the first quarter of 2020, a slight improvement compared to the prior-year period, primarily reflecting improved pricing and fleet mix.
•Direct operating expenses (DOE) of $189.2 million in the first quarter of 2020 were flat compared to the prior-year period. The $0.1 million increase was primarily related to lower transportation
and maintenance costs which were offset by higher personnel and facilities costs.
•Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased 2.4% to $69.8 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $71.5 million in the prior-year period. The $1.7 million decline was primarily attributed to the reduction in professional fees in the quarter and offset by an increase in bad debt expense.
•Impairment expense was $6.3 million during the first quarter related to the partial impairment of a long-term receivable related to the sale of our former joint venture.
•Interest expense in the first quarter of 2020 decreased to $24.4 million compared to $32.9 million in the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily related to lower interest expense on the Company's Senior Notes and lower average outstanding balances on the Company's ABL Credit Facility.
•Income tax provision in the first quarter was $1.1 million compared with a benefit of $3.1 million for the same period last year.
•The Company reported a net loss of $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $6.7 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income was $1.1 million compared to an adjusted net loss of $6.5 million in the prior-year quarter.
•Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2020 increased 3.8% to $147.7 million compared to $142.3 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to strong equipment rental revenue pricing and lower SG&A expenses, partially offset by lower sales of rental equipment.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 400 basis points to 33.9% in the first quarter of 2020, compared with 29.9% in the prior-year quarter.
Capital Expenditures - Fleet
•The Company reported net fleet capital expenditures of $48.4 million. Gross fleet capital expenditures were $83.0 million, and proceeds from disposals were $34.6 million. See page A-5 for the calculation of net fleet capital expenditures.
•As of March 31, 2020, the Company's total fleet was approximately $3.80 billion at OEC.
•Average fleet at OEC increased 1.7% in the first quarter of 2020 compared with the prior-year comparable period.
•Average fleet age was 46 months as of March 31, 2020, the same age as the comparable period last year.
Disciplined Capital Management
•The Company generated $39.2 million in free cash flow in the first quarter of 2020, compared with $107.7 million in the same period in 2019. Free cash flow in 2020 was impacted by lower sales of rental equipment and the timing of interest payments on the Company's Senior Notes.
•Cash and cash equivalents were $55.8 million and the Company reported liquidity of $1.1 billion of availability, as of March 31, 2020. Net debt was $2.1 billion with net leverage of 2.7x as of March 31, 2020, compared to 2.9x in the prior-year comparable period.
Outlook for the Year
"We have cut variable costs and taken steps to substantially reduce our capital expenditures to conserve capital. As of the end of the first quarter, we had ample liquidity of $1.1 billion. These unprecedented times make it difficult to predict the length of the economic slowdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic or the full impact on our business. As a result, we are withdrawing our 2020 guidance. Nonetheless, we believe the steps we have taken provide ample liquidity to fund our business in 2020 and beyond," Silber said.
"I am proud of the 'can do' attitude of our Herc Rentals team as we work to navigate this challenging time together. Our business model is resilient and our leadership team is experienced. We remain ready to support our customers' operations in whatever capacity we can during this uncertain time and especially when construction and business activities resume. We thank all of our team members for their professionalism and dedication in serving our customers and communities. Working together, we will emerge stronger and better."

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, anticipated financing needs, business trends, the impact of and our response to COVID-19, 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," 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.

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 and free cash flow. 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 merger and acquisition 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.

Glossary of Terms Commonly Used 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 rental 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.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share 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, 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.

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adj. EBITDA, Adj. EBITDA Margin, Rental Adj. EBITDA (REBITDA), REBITDA Margin and Flow-Through EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and REBITDA - 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 merger and acquisition 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.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow Free cash flow is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. 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 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. $ in millions Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 Net cash provided by operating activities $101.5 $131.2 Rental equipment expenditures (83.0) (82.6) Proceeds from disposal of rental equipment 34.6 69.6 Net Fleet Capital Expenditures (48.4) (13.0) Non-rental capital expenditures (15.5) (11.4) Proceeds from disposal of property and equipment 1.6 0.9 Free Cash Flow $39.2 $107.7 NYSE: HRI 30 ©2020 Herc Rentals Inc.
