Bonita Springs, Fla., April 22, 2021 -- Herc Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HRI) ("Herc Holdings" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Equipment rental revenue was $400.4 million and total revenues were $453.8 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $386.5 million and $436.2 million, respectively, for the same period last year. The Company reported net income of $32.9 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021, compared to a net loss of $3.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the same 2020 period. First quarter 2021 adjusted net income was $33.3 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in 2020. See page A-5 for the adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share calculations.

"Our year is off to a great start with first quarter total revenues up 4% and adjusted EBITDA up 25% compared with last year," said Larry Silber, president and CEO. "Our adjusted EBITDA margin hit a record for the first quarter of 40.7% and reflects the strength of our operating model. Strong performance by our ProSolutions® and entertainment rental businesses drove rental revenue growth, and the efficient execution of our operating model propelled adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of 680 basis points. Our focus on customer service and the consistent implementation of a strategy to diversify our customer and industry base continues to demonstrate the strength of our business."

2021 First Quarter Highlights

•Equipment rental revenue increased 3.6% to $400.4 million compared to $386.5 million in the prior-year period.

•Total revenues increased 4.0% to $453.8 million compared to $436.2 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase of $17.6 million was related primarily to higher equipment rental revenue of $13.9 million and an increase in sales of rental equipment of $4.2 million.

•Pricing declined 0.3% compared to the same period in 2020.

•Dollar utilization increased to 38.6% compared to 35.7% in the prior-year period.

•Direct operating expenses (DOE) of $183.0 million decreased 3.3% compared to the prior-year period. The $6.2 million decline was primarily related to lower personnel-related costs, re-rent expense and maintenance costs, offset by an increase in delivery and freight expenses.

•Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) declined 6.2% to $65.5 million compared to $69.8 million in the prior-year period. The $4.3 million decline was primarily attributed to reductions in travel expenses and reduced bad debt expense due to continued improvement in collections.

•Interest expense decreased to $21.4 million compared to $24.4 million in the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily related to both lower interest rates and balances of the Company's ABL Credit Facility in 2021.

•The income tax provision was $8.2 million compared with $1.1 million for the prior-year period.

•The Company reported net income of $32.9 million compared to a loss of $3.7 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income was $33.3 million compared to $1.1 million in the prior-year period.

•Adjusted EBITDA increased 25.0% to $184.6 million compared to $147.7 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to improved operating efficiencies and higher contributions from the sale of rental equipment.

•Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 680 basis points to 40.7% compared with 33.9% in the prior-year period.

Capital Expenditures

•The Company reported net rental equipment capital expenditures of $50.6 million for 2021. Gross rental equipment capital expenditures were $90.9 million compared with $83.0 million in the comparable prior-year period. Proceeds from disposals were $40.3 million compared to $34.6 million last year. See page A-5 for the calculation of net rental equipment capital expenditures.

•As of March 31, 2021, the Company's total fleet was approximately $3.63 billion at OEC.

•Average fleet at OEC decreased year-over-year by 5.1% compared to the prior-year period.

•Average fleet age of 48 months as of March 31, 2021 remained the same as the comparable prior-year period.

Disciplined Capital Management

•The Company generated $72.5 million in free cash flow in the first quarter of 2021, compared with $39.2 million in the same period in 2020.

•Cash and cash equivalents were $32.9 million and unused commitments under the ABL Credit Facility and AR Facility contributed to $1.4 billion of liquidity as of March 31, 2021. Net debt was $1.6 billion as of March 31, 2021, with net leverage of 2.2x compared to 2.7x in the same prior-year period.

•The Company's net leverage was at the low end of the targeted net leverage range of 2.0x to 3.0x.

Outlook for 2021

The Company updated 2021 guidance ranges:

Previous Current
Adjusted EBITDA: $730 million to $760 million $800 million to $840 million
Net rental equipment capital expenditures: $400 million to $450 million $400 million to $450 million

"Our strong first quarter performance along with the trends we are seeing in the market have prompted us to raise our adjusted EBITDA guidance for the year," said Silber. "Our guidance range for adjusted EBITDA now exceeds our pre-pandemic 2019 results by 8% to 13%. Overall, our end markets are showing positive momentum and demand for rental equipment is increasing. We intend to continue to take market share in our specialty businesses and to maximize our operating leverage as revenue growth accelerates in the seasonally strong part of the year."

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, 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.

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.

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.
