Second Quarter 2020 Highlights
–Equipment rental revenue of $327.6 million was comprised of sequential monthly improvement from April to June; total revenues were $368.0 million
–Pricing remained flat in the quarter compared with the same prior-year period
–Net income was $2.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share
–Adjusted EBITDA was $149.4 million; adjusted EBITDA margin improved 380 bps to 40.6%
–Company issues 2020 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $625 million to $650 million
Bonita Springs, Fla., July 23, 2020 -- Herc Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HRI) ("Herc Holdings" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Equipment rental revenue was $327.6 million and total revenues were $368.0 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $407.6 million and $475.1 million, respectively, for the same period last year. The Company reported net income of $2.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $9.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the same 2019 period. Second quarter 2020 adjusted net income was $7.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $16.0 million, or $0.55 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.
"We maintained rates and did an excellent job of controlling costs in a challenging quarter," said Larry Silber, president and chief executive officer. "We took actions in 2019 to focus on disciplined capital expenditures and margin improvements, and with these programs in place, we were in a good position when the COVID-19 pandemic hit to intensify our cost control initiatives in line with business conditions. Despite the significant impact to our revenues, we were able to improve adjusted EBITDA margin by 380 basis points to 40.6% in the second quarter compared to the prior-year period.
"Our highest priority remains the safety of our employees and our customers and we have continued to maintain strict adherence to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's guidelines in our operations and interactions with customers. Our strategy to diversify our customers and fleet through specialty services has partially offset the overall impact of the pandemic on rental revenue. We are very pleased with the performance of our ProSolutions® team in particular, as they continued to generate strong year-over-year growth during this healthcare crisis," Silber said.
Second Quarter Highlights
•Equipment rental revenue in the second quarter of 2020 declined 19.6% to $327.6 million, a decline of $80.0 million from $407.6 million in the prior-year quarter. The Company reported lower volume as a result of the business slowdown related to the impact of COVID-19 and pricing that was about flat with the prior year.
•Total revenues were $368.0 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $475.1 million in the prior-year period. The decline of $107.1 million was related primarily to the $80.0 million decline in equipment rental revenue, a reduction in sales of rental equipment of $19.9 million, and $6.2 million reduction in sales of new equipment, parts and supplies, compared to the prior year.
•Pricing was about flat, declining 0.3% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.
•Dollar utilization was 30.8% in the second quarter of 2020 compared with 38.0% in the prior year, as a result of lower volume and flat pricing.
•Direct operating expenses (DOE) of $144.7 million in the second quarter of 2020 decreased 23.2% compared to the prior-year period. The $43.8 million decline reflected savings in nearly every category of expense, and was primarily related to lower transportation and maintenance costs as well as personnel-related costs due to the furloughs implemented in the quarter.
•Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) declined 22.7% to $56.8 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $73.5 million in the prior-year period. The $16.7 million decline was primarily attributed to the year-over-year reductions in selling expenses and company-wide cost control initiatives.
•The Company recorded restructuring expense of $0.7 million primarily related to personnel reductions in the second quarter, compared with $7.8 million associated with closures of under-performing branches in last year's second quarter.
•Impairment expense of $3.2 million during the second quarter related to the closure of two branch locations last year and the anticipated sale of two additional branch locations this year.
•Interest expense in the second quarter of 2020 decreased to $23.3 million compared to $31.6 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.
•The income tax benefit in the second quarter was $1.9 million compared with a tax provision of $5.3 million for the same period last year.
•The Company reported net income of $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $9.7 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income was $7.3 million compared to an adjusted net income of $16.0 million in the prior-year quarter.
•Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2020 declined 14.6% to $149.4 million compared to $174.9 million in the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower volume and flat pricing.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 380 basis points to 40.6% in the second quarter of 2020, compared with 36.8% in the prior-year quarter.
First Half Highlights
•Equipment rental revenue in the first half of 2020 declined 9.1% or $71.1 million to $714.1 million compared to $785.2 million in the first half of 2019. Lower volume due to the impact of COVID-19 impacted year-over-year results.
•Total revenues were $804.2 million in the first half of 2020 compared to $950.8 million in the first half of 2019. The $146.6 million decline was related primarily to lower equipment rental revenue, a reduction in sales of rental equipment of $65.0 million, and $10.1 million reduction in sales of new equipment, parts and supplies compared to the prior year.
•Pricing was up 1.1% in the first half of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.
•Dollar utilization was 33.2% in the first half of 2020 compared with 36.8% in the prior year, primarily a result of lower volume and flat pricing.
•Direct operating expenses of $333.9 million declined $43.7 million or 11.6% in the first half of 2020 compared to the prior-year period. The decline was primarily related to lower transportation and maintenance costs, as well as personnel costs due to furloughs implemented in the second quarter.
•SG&A decreased 12.7% to $126.6 million in the first half of 2020 compared to $145.0 million in the prior-year period. The $18.4 million decline was primarily attributed to lower selling expenses and company-wide cost control initiatives.
•The Company recorded restructuring expense of $0.7 million primarily related to personnel reductions in the first half, compared with $7.8 million associated with closures of under-performing branches in last year's comparable period.
•Impairment expense was $9.5 million during the first half and consisted of the partial impairment of a long-term receivable related to the sale of a former joint venture, the closure of two branch locations last year, and the anticipated sale of two additional locations this year.
•Interest expense in the first half of 2020 decreased to $47.7 million compared to $64.5 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 benefit in the first half was $0.8 million compared with a provision of $2.2 million for the same period last year.
•The Company reported a net loss of $1.7 million in the first half of 2020 compared to net income of $3.0 million in the prior-year period. The adjusted net income was $8.4 million compared to adjusted net income of $9.5 million in the prior-year period.
•Adjusted EBITDA in the first half of 2020 declined 6.4% to $297.0 million compared to $317.2 million in the prior-year period. The decline was primarily due to lower volume and lower sales of rental equipment.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 350 basis points to 36.9% in the first half of 2020, compared with 33.4% in the prior-year period.
Capital Expenditures - Fleet
•The Company reported net fleet capital expenditures of $93.6 million for the first half of 2020. Gross fleet capital expenditures were $161.5 million compared with $257.1 million in the comparable prior year period. Proceeds from disposals were $67.9 million compared with $123.7 million last year, See page A-5 for the calculation of net fleet capital expenditures.
•As of June 30, 2020, the Company's total fleet was approximately $3.75 billion at OEC.
•Average fleet at OEC decreased 0.5% in the second quarter of 2020 and increased 0.6% for the first half compared to the prior-year periods.
•Average fleet age was 47 months as of June 30, 2020 compared with 44 months in the comparable prior-year period.
Disciplined Capital Management
•The Company generated $178.8 million in free cash flow in the first half of 2020, compared with $124.7 million in the same period in 2019.
•Cash and cash equivalents were $83.2 million and unused commitments under the ABL Credit Facility and AR Facility contributed to $1.2 billion of liquidity, as of June 30, 2020. Net debt was $2.0 billion with net leverage of 2.6x compared to 2.8x in the prior-year period.
Outlook for the Year
While fleet on rent has increased from the trough in April, future business conditions related to COVID-19 are uncertain. Nonetheless, the Company estimates the volume of fleet on rent in the second half is likely to decline approximately 8% to 13% year-over-year, as the typical seasonal ramp is starting from a lower base going into the balance of the year. As a result, the Company estimates equipment rental revenue in the second half will be down about 10% to 15% year-over-year. Assuming these levels of volume and rental revenue, fiscal year 2020 estimates are as follows:
| Adjusted EBITDA: | $625 million to $650 million |
|---|---|
| Net fleet capital expenditures: | $190 million to $210 million |
"Our leadership team's experience contributed to better than anticipated second quarter operating results and reflect our ability to manage through challenging times," said Silber. "Construction and business activity began to improve in early June and continues to trend slowly upward. We have managed our costs and taken steps to substantially reduce our capital expenditures to conserve capital. We generated free cash flow of approximately $179 million in the first half of 2020 and as of June 30, 2020, we had ample liquidity of $1.2 billion.
"Our Herc Rentals team continues to demonstrate their professionalism and resiliency as we serve our customers every day. We are ready to support our customers in whatever capacity they need, with the understanding that we must prove ourselves every day," he added.

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 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 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.

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 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 Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 2019 Net cash provided by operating activities $280.4 $272.6 Rental equipment expenditures (161.5) (257.1) Proceeds from disposal of rental equipment 67.9 123.7 Net Fleet Capital Expenditures (93.6) (133.4) Non-rental capital expenditures (25.5) (20.5) Proceeds from disposal of property and equipment 2.2 4.1 Proceeds from disposal of business 15.3 — Other — 1.9 Free Cash Flow $ 178.8 $ 124.7 NYSE: HRI 33 ©2020 Herc Rentals Inc.
