Bonita Springs, Fla., February 10, 2022 -- Herc Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HRI) ("Herc Holdings" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021. Equipment rental revenue was $542.4 million and total revenues were $578.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $427.3 million and $520.4 million, respectively, for the same period last year. The Company reported net income of $71.8 million, or $2.36 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $35.5 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, in the same 2020 period. Fourth quarter 2021 adjusted net income was $74.9 million, or $2.46 per diluted share, compared to $40.2 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, in 2020.

"We continued our 'shift into high gear' with an excellent fourth quarter," said Larry Silber, president and chief executive officer. "Rental revenue increased 26.9% over the prior year and dollar utilization was a record 44.6%. Outstanding execution by our operations and field support team was enhanced by strong demand in our markets and a positive operating environment.
"Adjusted EBITDA for the full year increased 29.8% to $894.7 million compared with 2020 and 20.7% compared to pre-pandemic 2019. The healthy momentum in volume and rate trends we closed with in 2021 are expected to contribute to strong growth in 2022."
2021 Fourth Quarter Financial Results
•Equipment rental revenue increased 26.9% to $542.4 million compared to $427.3 million in the prior-year period.
•Total revenues increased 11.1% to $578.0 million compared to $520.4 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase of $57.6 million was related primarily to an increase in equipment rental revenue of $115.1 million, partially offset by a reduction in sales of rental equipment of $59.8 million. The reduction in sales of rental equipment resulted from strong rental demand and the strategic management of our fleet to maximize fleet size and minimize the sales of rental equipment.
•Pricing increased 3.5% compared to the same period in 2020.
•Dollar utilization increased to 44.6% compared to 40.6% in the prior-year period.
•Direct operating expenses (DOE) of $238.4 million increased 28.2% compared to the prior-year period. The $52.5 million increase was primarily due to increases related to higher year-over-year rental activity such as personnel-related costs, re-rent, delivery and freight, and maintenance expenses.
•Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased 28.7% to $89.8 million compared to $69.8 million in the prior-year period. The $20.0 million increase was primarily attributed to increases in selling expenses, including commissions and bonus incentives, general payroll and benefits, and travel expenses as business travel returned to pre-pandemic levels.
•Impairment expense was $2.8 million compared with $5.9 million in the prior-year period.
•Interest expense of $22.5 million was flat compared to the prior-year period.
•The income tax provision was $19.6 million compared to $9.5 million for the prior-year period.
•The Company reported net income of $71.8 million compared to $35.5 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income was $74.9 million compared to $40.2 million in the prior-year period.
•Adjusted EBITDA increased 31.1% to $256.5 million compared to $195.6 million in the prior-year period.
•Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 680 basis points to 44.4% compared to 37.6% in the prior-year period.
2021 Full Year Financial Results
•Equipment rental revenue increased 23.8% to $1,910.4 million compared to $1,543.7 million in the prior-year period.
•Total revenues increased 16.4% to $2,073.1 million compared to $1,781.3 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase of $291.8 million was related primarily to an increase in equipment rental revenue of $366.7 million, partially offset by the reduction in sales of rental equipment of $85.4 million. The reduction in sales of rental equipment resulted from strong rental demand and the strategic management of our fleet to maximize fleet size and minimize the sales of rental equipment.
•Pricing increased 2.1% compared to the same period in 2020.
•Dollar utilization increased to 43.0% compared to 36.1% in the prior-year period.
•Direct operating expenses (DOE) of $850.3 million increased 23.4% compared to the prior-year period. The $161.1 million increase was primarily due to increases related to higher rental activity such as personnel-related costs, delivery and freight, re-rent and maintenance expenses.
•Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased 20.7% to $310.8 million compared to $257.4 million in the prior-year period. The $53.4 million increase was primarily attributed to selling expenses, including commissions and bonus incentives, general payroll and benefit increases and travel, offset by a reduction in bad debt expense due to continued improvement in collections.
•Impairment expense of $3.2 million related to the impairment of certain rental equipment compared with $15.4 million in the prior year, which primarily consisted of partial impairment of a long-term receivable related to the sale of a former joint venture and the impairment of certain rental equipment.
•Interest expense decreased to $86.3 million compared to $92.6 million in the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily related to lower interest rates and balances of the Company's ABL Credit Facility in 2021.
•The income tax provision was $66.3 million compared to $20.4 million for the prior-year period. The provision in the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by the level of pre-tax income.
•The Company reported net income of $224.1 million compared to $73.7 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income was $228.6 million compared to $88.5 million in the prior-year period.
•Adjusted EBITDA increased 29.8% to $894.7 million compared to $689.4 million in the prior-year period.

The acquisitions accounted for 37 locations in Texas, California, Illinois, New Hampshire, Tennessee, New Mexico, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ontario.
•The Company generated $213.7 million in free cash flow in the twelve months of 2021, compared to $424.5 million in the same period in 2020.
•Cash and cash equivalents were $35.1 million and unused commitments under the ABL Credit Facility and AR Facility contributed to $1.3 billion of liquidity as of December 31, 2021. Net debt was $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2021, with net leverage of 2.1x compared to 2.4x in the same prior-year period.

Outlook
The Company increased its full year 2022 adjusted EBITDA guidance range and maintained net rental capital expenditures guidance:
| Previous | Current | |
|---|---|---|
| Adjusted EBITDA: | $1,050 million to $1,150 million | $1,075 million to $1,175 million |
| Net rental equipment capital expenditures: | $820 million to $1,120 million | $820 million to $1,120 million |
"We shared our 2021 to 2024 annual goals for organic CAGR growth of 12% to 15% in rental revenue and 17% to 20% in adjusted EBITDA at our recent Investor Day," said Silber. "This quarter gets us into high gear and off to a good start on the road to achieve these goals. We have strong momentum and intend to invest in new locations and rental equipment to enhance our urban density and improve our operating leverage and scale. We are focused on balancing our investment growth options between organic and acquisition growth and our overall return to shareholders.
"In addition, we announced a 15% increase in our quarterly dividend, payable in the first quarter. We believe that our shareholder base should benefit from the strong growth in our results by sharing in our anticipated earnings growth through dividend payments."

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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.

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.

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.

All Rights Reserved. 2 Larry Silber President & Chief Executive Officer Herc Rentals Team & Agenda Elizabeth Higashi Vice President, Investor Relations & Sustainability Mark Irion Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer Aaron Birnbaum Senior Vice President & Chief Operating Officer Agenda • Introductions • Safe Harbor • Overview • Operations Review • Financial Review • Q&A

NYSE: HRI ©2022 Herc Rentals Inc. All Rights Reserved. 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, the impact of and our response to COVID-19, 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, 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. 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.

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. Return on Invested Capital (ROIC): is defined as adjusted earnings before interest divided by net assets. Adjusted earnings before interest is the sum of earnings before interest 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 and impairment charges. Net assets is total assets less intangible assets, current liabilities and deferred taxes.

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.

NYSE: HRI ©2022 Herc Rentals Inc. All Rights Reserved. 28 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 (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.

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. $ in millions Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 Net cash provided by operating activities $744.0 $610.9 $635.6 $559.1 $349.1 Rental equipment expenditures (593.8) (344.1) (638.4) (771.4) (501.4) Proceeds from disposal of rental equipment 106.9 192.5 224.2 272.3 160.1 Net Fleet Capital Expenditures (486.9) (151.6) (414.2) (499.1) (341.3) Non-rental capital expenditures (48.0) (41.4) (56.9) (77.6) (74.6) Proceeds from disposal of property and equipment 4.6 6.6 7.7 9.7 5.9 Other — — 4.0 — — Free Cash Flow 213.7 424.5 176.2 (7.9) (60.9) Acquisitions, net of cash acquired (431.0) (45.6) (4.2) — — Proceeds from disposal of business — 24.5 — — — (Increase) decrease in Net Debt ($217.3) $403.4 $172.0 ($7.9) ($60.9)
