Item 1.Financial Statements

 

 

 

(1)There were no material reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected in other comprehensive income (loss) during 2026 or 2025. We have historically considered the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested, and, accordingly, no taxes were provided on such earnings prior to the fourth quarter of 2020. In 2021, we remitted the cumulative amount of identified cash in our foreign operations in excess of near-term working capital needs. In the fourth quarter of 2025, in connection with a restructuring of our international holdings, we identified $324 of distributable foreign earnings that we determined should no longer be considered indefinitely reinvested, and such amount was remitted in the first quarter of 2026. The taxes associated with the repatriation were immaterial. We continue to expect that our undistributed foreign earnings will be indefinitely reinvested. If we determine that all or a portion of such foreign earnings are no longer indefinitely reinvested, we may be subject to additional foreign withholding taxes and U.S. state income taxes. There were no material taxes associated with other comprehensive income (loss) during 2026 or 2025.

(1)Common stock outstanding decreased by approximately two million net shares during the year ended December 31, 2025.

(2)Amounts may not foot due to rounding.

(3)The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss balance primarily reflects foreign currency translation adjustments.

(4)We declared dividends of $1.97 and $1.79 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

(5)Includes net stock compensation expense as reported as a separate component in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, and net stock compensation expense included in “Restructuring charge” as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

(1)The amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflect bridge financing fees associated with the terminated acquisition of H&E Equipment Services, Inc. d/b/a H&E Rentals (“H&E”) discussed below.

United Rentals, Inc. (“Holdings,” “URI” or the “Company”) is principally a holding company and conducts its operations primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary, United Rentals (North America), Inc. (“URNA”), and subsidiaries of URNA. Holdings’ primary asset is its sole ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of URNA. URNA’s various credit agreements and debt instruments place restrictions on its ability to transfer funds to its shareholder.

We rent equipment to a diverse customer base that includes construction and industrial companies, manufacturers, utilities, municipalities, homeowners and government entities. We primarily operate in the United States and Canada, and have a smaller presence in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to renting equipment, we sell new and used rental equipment, as well as related contractor supplies, parts and service.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting policies described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”) and the interim reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2025 Form 10-K.

In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires more detailed disclosures about specified categories of expenses (including employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and allows for early adoption. This standard is not expected to have an impact on any amounts recognized in our financial statements, but will result in more detailed disclosures addressing the categorization of expenses.

Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, which provides optional guidance relating to the estimation of expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets. This guidance permits entities to apply a practical expedient when estimating credit losses that assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We have adopted this guidance, which did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

We recognize revenue in accordance with two different accounting standards: 1) Topic 606 (which addresses revenue from contracts with customers) and 2) Topic 842 (which addresses lease revenue). Under Topic 606, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account under Topic 606. As reflected below, most of our revenue is accounted for under Topic 842. Our contracts with customers generally do not include multiple performance obligations. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.

In the following table, revenue is summarized by type and by the applicable accounting standard.

Revenues by reportable segment are presented in note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements, using the revenue captions reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The majority of our revenue is recognized in our general rentals segment and in the U.S. (for the three months ended March 31, 2026, 67 percent and 91 percent, respectively). We believe that the disaggregation of our revenue from contracts to customers as reflected above, coupled with the further discussion below and the reportable segment disclosures in note 3, depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

The accounting for the types of revenue that are accounted for under Topic 842 is discussed below.

Owned equipment rentals represent our most significant revenue type (they accounted for 67 percent of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026) and are governed by our standard rental contract. We account for such rentals as operating leases. The lease terms are included in our contracts, and the determination of whether our contracts contain leases generally does not require significant assumptions or judgments. Our lease revenues do not include material amounts of variable payments.

Owned equipment rentals: Owned equipment rentals represent revenues from renting equipment that we own. We do not generally provide an option for the lessee to purchase the rented equipment at the end of the lease, and do not generate material revenue from sales of equipment under such options.

We recognize revenues from renting equipment on a straight-line basis. Our rental contract periods are hourly, daily, weekly or monthly. By way of example, if a customer were to rent a piece of equipment and the daily, weekly and monthly rental rates for that particular piece were (in actual dollars) $100, $300 and $900, respectively, we would recognize revenue of $32.14 per day. The daily rate for recognition purposes is calculated by dividing the monthly rate of $900 by the monthly term of 28 days. This daily rate assumes that the equipment will be on rent for the full 28 days, as we are unsure of when the customer will return the equipment and therefore unsure of which rental contract period will apply.

As part of this straight-line methodology, when the equipment is returned, we recognize as incremental revenue the excess, if any, between the amount the customer is contractually required to pay, which is based on the rental contract period applicable to the actual number of days the equipment was out on rent, over the cumulative amount of revenue recognized to date. In any given accounting period, we will have customers return equipment and be contractually required to pay us more than the cumulative amount of revenue recognized to date under the straight-line methodology. For instance, continuing the above example, if the customer rented the above piece of equipment on December 29 and returned it at the close of business on January 1, we would recognize incremental revenue on January 1 of $171.44 (in actual dollars, representing the difference between the amount the customer is contractually required to pay, or $300 at the weekly rate, and the cumulative amount recognized to date on a straight-line basis, or $128.56, which represents four days at $32.14 per day).

We record amounts billed to customers in excess of recognizable revenue as deferred revenue on our balance sheet. We had deferred revenue (associated with both Topic 842 and Topic 606) of $183 and $175 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

As noted above, we are unsure of when the customer will return rented equipment. As such, we do not know how much the customer will owe us upon return of the equipment and cannot provide a maturity analysis of future lease payments. Our equipment is generally rented for short periods of time. Lessees do not provide residual value guarantees on rented equipment.

We expect to derive significant future benefits from our equipment following the end of the rental term. Our rentals are generally short-term in nature, and our equipment is typically rented for the majority of the time that we own it. We additionally recognize revenue from sales of rental equipment when we dispose of the equipment.

Re-rent revenue: Re-rent revenue reflects revenues from equipment that we rent from vendors and then rent to our customers. We account for such rentals as subleases. The accounting for re-rent revenue is the same as the accounting for owned equipment rentals described above.

“Other” equipment rental revenue is primarily comprised of 1) Rental Protection Plan (or “RPP”) revenue associated with the damage waiver customers can purchase when they rent our equipment to protect against potential loss or damage, 2) environmental charges associated with the rental of equipment, 3) charges for rented equipment that is damaged by our customers and 4) charges for setup and other services performed on rented equipment.

The accounting for the types of revenue that are accounted for under Topic 606 is discussed below. Substantially all of our revenues under Topic 606 are recognized at a point-in-time rather than over time.

Delivery and pick-up: Delivery and pick-up revenue associated with renting equipment is recognized when the service is performed.

“Other” equipment rental revenue is primarily comprised of revenues associated with the consumption of fuel by our customers which are recognized when the equipment is returned by the customer (and consumption, if any, can be measured).

Sales of rental equipment, new equipment and contractor supplies are recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer and when collectibility is probable.

Service and other revenues primarily represent revenues earned from providing repair and maintenance services on our customers’ fleet (including parts sales). Service revenue is recognized as the services are performed.

As reflected above, most of our equipment rental revenue is accounted for under Topic 842 (such revenue represented 77 percent of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026). The customers that are responsible for the remaining revenue that is accounted for under Topic 606 are generally the same customers that rent our equipment. We manage credit risk associated with our accounts receivable at the customer level. Because the same customers generate the revenues that are accounted for under both Topic 606 and Topic 842, the discussions below on credit risk and our allowance for credit losses address receivables arising from revenues from both Topic 606 and Topic 842.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to our receivables is limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers makes up our customer base. Our largest customer accounted for one percent or less of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and for each of the last three full years. Our customer with the largest receivable balance represented approximately two percent of total receivables at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. We manage credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and other monitoring procedures.

Our allowance for credit losses reflects our estimate of the amount of our receivables that we will be unable to collect based on historical write-off experience and, as applicable, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility. We have elected a practical expedient that allows us, when estimating credit losses, to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. Our estimate could require change based on changing circumstances, including changes in the economy or in the particular circumstances of individual customers. Accordingly, we may be required to increase or decrease our allowance. Trade receivables that have contractual maturities of one year or less are written-off when they are determined to be uncollectible based on the criteria necessary to qualify as a deduction for federal tax purposes.

Write-offs of such receivables require management approval based on specified dollar thresholds. See the table below for a rollforward of our allowance for credit losses.

The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility. Trade receivables are the only material financial asset we have that is subject to the requirement to measure expected credit losses as noted above, as this requirement does not apply to receivables arising from operating lease revenues. Substantially all of our non-lease trade receivables are due in one year or less. As discussed above, most of our equipment rental revenue is accounted for as lease revenue (such revenue represented 77 percent of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and these revenues account for corresponding portions of the $2.561 billion of net accounts receivable and the associated allowance for credit losses of $180 as of March 31, 2026).

As discussed above, most of our equipment rental revenue is accounted for under Topic 842. The customers that are responsible for the remaining revenue that is accounted for under Topic 606 are generally the same customers that rent our equipment. We manage credit risk associated with our accounts receivable at the customer level. The rollforward of our allowance for credit losses (in total, and associated with revenues arising from both Topic 606 and Topic 842) is shown below.

_________________

(1)    Reflects bad debt expenses recognized within selling, general and administrative expenses (associated with Topic 606 revenues).

(2)    Primarily reflects credit losses associated with lease revenues that were recognized as a reduction to equipment rentals revenue (primarily associated with Topic 842 revenues).

(3)    Primarily represents write-offs of accounts, net of immaterial recoveries and other activity.

We do not have material contract assets, or impairment losses associated therewith, or material contract liabilities, associated with contracts with customers. Our contracts with customers do not generally result in material amounts billed to customers in excess of recognizable revenue. We did not recognize material revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025 that was included in the contract liability balance as of the beginning of such periods.

Most of our Topic 606 revenue is recognized at a point-in-time, rather than over time. Accordingly, in any particular period, we do not generally recognize a significant amount of revenue from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods, and the amounts of such revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were not material. We also do not expect to recognize material revenue in the future related to performance obligations that were unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of March 31, 2026.

Our Topic 606 revenues do not include material amounts of variable consideration. Our payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. Our contracts do not generally include a significant financing component. For certain products or services and customer types, we require payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer. Our contracts with customers do not generally result in significant obligations associated with returns, refunds or warranties. See above for a discussion of how we manage credit risk.

Revenue is recognized net of taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

We do not recognize any assets associated with the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer (for example, a sales commission) that we expect to recover. Most of our revenue is recognized at a point-in-time or over a period of one year or less, and we use the practical expedient that allows us to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

Our revenues accounted for under Topic 606 generally do not require significant estimates or judgments, primarily for the following reasons:

•The transaction price is generally fixed and stated in our contracts;

•As noted above, our contracts generally do not include multiple performance obligations, and accordingly do not generally require estimates of the standalone selling price for each performance obligation;

•Our revenues do not include material amounts of variable consideration, or result in significant obligations associated with returns, refunds or warranties; and

•Most of our revenue is recognized as of a point-in-time and the timing of the satisfaction of the applicable performance obligations is readily determinable. As noted above, our Topic 606 revenue is generally recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer.

Our revenues accounted for under Topic 842 also generally do not require significant estimates or judgments. We monitor and review our estimated standalone selling prices on a regular basis.

Our reportable segments are (i) general rentals and (ii) specialty. Our determination of the operating segments is primarily based on geography, but also includes consideration of the offered products and services. For general rentals, the divisions discussed below, which are our operating segments, are aggregated into the reportable segment. The specialty segment is a single division that is both an operating segment and a reportable segment. We believe that the divisions that are aggregated into our reportable segments have similar economic characteristics, as each division is capital intensive, offers similar products to similar customers, uses similar methods to distribute its products, and is subject to similar competitive risks. The aggregation of our divisions also reflects the management structure that we use for making operating decisions and assessing performance. We evaluate segment performance primarily based on segment equipment rentals gross profit.

The general rentals segment includes the rental of (i) general construction and industrial equipment, such as backhoes, skid-steer loaders, forklifts, earthmoving equipment and material handling equipment, (ii) aerial work platforms, such as boom lifts and scissor lifts and (iii) general tools and light equipment, such as pressure washers, water pumps and power tools. The general rentals segment reflects the aggregation of four geographic divisions—Central, Northeast, Southeast and West—and operates throughout the United States and Canada.

The specialty segment, which, as noted above, is a single division that is both an operating segment and a reportable segment, rents products (and provides setup and other services on such rented equipment) including (i) trench safety equipment, such as trench shields, aluminum hydraulic shoring systems, slide rails, crossing plates, construction lasers and line testing equipment for underground work, (ii) power and HVAC equipment, such as portable diesel generators, electrical distribution equipment, and temperature control equipment, (iii) fluid solutions equipment primarily used for fluid containment, transfer and treatment, (iv) mobile storage equipment and modular office space and (v) surface protection mats. The specialty segment’s customers include construction companies involved in infrastructure projects, municipalities and industrial companies. This segment primarily operates in the United States and Canada, and has a smaller presence in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Our Chief Operating Officer is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Equipment rentals gross profit is the primary measure the CODM utilizes in assessing segment performance and determining the allocation of resources. The CODM is the primary individual in control of resource allocation, and the allocation determinations are made in consultation with our senior executive committee, of which the CODM is a member. The most significant allocation determinations made by the CODM pertain to purchases of rental equipment (see the table below for total capital expenditures, including rental and non-rental equipment, by segment), and these determinations are generally made as part of the annual budgeting process, with regular reviews occurring throughout the year that can result in allocation changes (for example, if a specific division outperforms its plan, that could result in a reallocation of resources between divisions or an increase in the total allocated resources).

On a monthly basis, the CODM considers budget-to-actual variances for equipment rentals gross profit when making decisions about allocating capital to the segments. Equipment rentals gross profit is also used to assess the performance of each segment by comparing the results and return on assets of each segment with one another, which also informs the determinations made pertaining to the allocation of resources.

The following table sets forth financial information by segment, and includes reconciliations of the primary measure of segment profit (equipment rentals gross profit) to income before provision for income taxes.

(1)Includes immaterial intersegment revenues.

(2)The condensed consolidated statements of cash flows include the payments for capital expenditures, while the table above reflects the gross capital expenditures. Accounts payable included $224 and $117 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and $123 and $77 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of amounts due but unpaid for purchases of rental equipment.

(3)The significant expense categories align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM. The “all other rental expenses” category reflects the difference between equipment rentals revenue less the significant separately disclosed expense categories above and the primary measure of segment profit (equipment rentals gross profit), and is primarily comprised of property costs, costs associated with re-rent revenue and certain ancillary revenues (see note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the different types of equipment rentals revenue), and insurance costs. Intersegment expenses are included within the amounts shown.

(4)Labor and benefits includes all internal labor and benefits costs associated with equipment rentals, including labor and benefits costs associated with repairs and maintenance and delivery.

(5)Primarily reflects severance and branch closure charges associated with our restructuring programs. The restructuring charges generally involve the closure of a large number of branches over a short period of time, often in periods following a major acquisition. The amounts above primarily reflect charges associated with the restructuring program initiated in the fourth quarter of 2025 (see note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional detail on our restructuring programs).

(6)In January 2025, we announced that we had signed a merger agreement to acquire H&E. In February 2025, the merger agreement was terminated. Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2025 includes a break-up fee of $64 that we received following the termination of the H&E merger agreement.

Restructuring charges primarily include severance costs associated with headcount reductions, as well as branch closure charges. We incur severance costs and branch closure charges in the ordinary course of our business. We only include such costs that are part of a restructuring program as restructuring charges. Since the first such program was initiated in 2008, we have completed seven restructuring programs and have incurred total restructuring charges of $429.

Our closed restructuring programs were generally initiated either in recognition of a challenging economic environment or following the completion of certain significant acquisitions. As of March 31, 2026, the total liability associated with the closed restructuring programs was $13.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, we initiated a restructuring program (the “2026 Cost Savings Restructuring Program”) associated with the consolidation of certain common functions and certain other cost reduction measures. We first incurred costs associated with this program in 2026 and expect to recognize between $55 and $65 of total costs (inclusive of the $44 recognized through March 31, 2026 as reflected in the table below), primarily comprised of severance and branch closure costs, under the program, which is expected to be completed in 2026.

The table below provides certain information concerning restructuring activity under the 2026 Cost Savings Restructuring Program during the three months ended March 31, 2026:

________________

(1)    Reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of income as “Restructuring charge” (such charge also includes activity under our closed restructuring programs). The restructuring charges are not allocated to our segments. A s we first incurred costs under the 2026 Cost Savings Restructuring Program in 2026, the amounts above reflect the cumulative charges recognized through March 31, 2026.

(2)    Branch closure charges primarily reflect impairments of right-of-use assets associated with real estate leased under operating leases.

 

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amounts of our assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value were immaterial.

Fair value measurements are categorized in one of the following three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety:

Level 1- Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2- Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities include:

a)quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

b)quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

c)inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; d)inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3- Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity) and significant to the fair value measure.

 

The carrying amounts reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the immediate to short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair values of our variable rate debt facilities and finance leases approximated their book values as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The estimated fair values of our other financial instruments, all of which are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 have been calculated based upon available market information, and were as follows: 

Debt, net of unamortized original issue discounts or premiums, and unamortized debt issuance costs, consists of the following:

 ___________________

(1)The table below presents financial information associated with our variable rate indebtedness as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026. We have borrowed the full available amount under the term loan facility. The principal obligation under the term loan facility is required to be repaid in quarterly installments in an aggregate amount equal to 1.0 percent per annum, with the balance due at the maturity of the facility. The average amount of debt outstanding under the term loan facility decreases slightly each quarter due to the requirement to repay a portion of the principal obligation.

(2)Borrowings under the accounts receivable securitization facility are permitted only to the extent that the face amount of the receivables in the collateral pool, net of applicable reserves and other deductions, exceeds the outstanding loans. As of March 31, 2026, there were $1.527 billion of receivables, net of applicable reserves and other deductions, in the collateral pool. The accounts receivable securitization facility expires on June 24, 2026 and may be extended on a 364-day basis by mutual agreement with the purchasers under the facility.

(3)URNA separately issued 4 7/8 percent Senior Notes in August 2017 and in September 2017. Following the issuances, URNA consummated an exchange offer pursuant to which most of the 4 7/8 percent Senior Notes issued in September 2017 were exchanged for additional notes fungible with the 4 7/8 percent Senior Notes issued in August 2017. As of March 31, 2026, the total above is comprised of two separate 4 7/8 percent Senior Notes, one with a book value of $1.665 billion and one with a book value of $4.

(4)Short-term debt primarily reflects borrowings under the accounts receivable securitization facility and the short-term portion of our finance leases.

As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the ABL, accounts receivable securitization and term loan facilities and the senior notes. Any failure to be in compliance with any material provision or covenant of these agreements could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and operations.

We are subject to a number of claims and proceedings that generally arise in the ordinary conduct of our business. These matters include, but are not limited to, general liability claims (including personal injury, product liability, and property and automobile claims), indemnification and guarantee obligations, employee injuries and employment-related claims, self-insurance obligations and contract and real estate matters. Based on advice of counsel and available information, including current status or stage of proceeding, and taking into account accruals included in our consolidated balance sheets for matters where we have established them, we currently believe that any liabilities ultimately resulting from these ordinary course claims and proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (shares in thousands):

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise indicated)

Our operations are impacted by global economic conditions, including inflation, tariffs, interest rate fluctuations and supply chain constraints, and we take actions to modify our plans to address such economic conditions. Our operations can also be impacted by geopolitical risks, including risks related to international conflicts. To date, the impact from supply chain disruptions has been limited, but we may experience more severe supply chain disruptions in the future. Although interest rates have stabilized more recently, interest rates on our debt instruments have increased in recent years (the weighted average interest rates on our variable debt instruments were 1.4 percent in 2021, 6.3 percent in 2024, 5.4 percent in 2025 and 4.8 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2026). Interest rates on our indebtedness that bears interest at fixed rates have similarly fluctuated in recent years (for example, in December 2025, United Rentals (North America), Inc. (“URNA”) issued $1.5 billion principal amount of senior unsecured notes at a 5 3/8 percent interest rate, while URNA's issuance in August 2021 of $750 principal amount of senior unsecured notes was at a 3 3/4 percent interest rate). We have experienced and are continuing to experience inflationary pressures. A portion of inflationary cost increases is passed on to customers. The most significant cost increases that are passed on to customers are for fuel and delivery, and there are other costs for which the pass through to customers is less direct, such as repairs and maintenance, and labor. Tariffs could result in the costs we incur being more than anticipated. The impact of inflation, tariffs, interest rate fluctuations and international conflicts may be significant in the future.

We continue to assess the economic environment in which we operate and take appropriate actions to address the economic challenges we face.

We are the largest equipment rental company in the world, with an integrated network of 1,767 rental locations. We primarily operate in the United States and Canada, and have a smaller presence in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Although the equipment rental industry is highly fragmented and diverse, we believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of this environment because, as a larger company, we have more extensive resources and certain competitive advantages. These include a fleet of rental equipment with a total original equipment cost (“OEC”) of $22.6 billion, and a North American branch network that operates in 49 U.S. states and every Canadian province, and serves 99 of the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. Our size also gives us greater purchasing power, the ability to provide customers with a broader range of equipment and services, the ability to provide customers with equipment that is more consistently well-maintained and therefore more productive and reliable, and the ability to enhance the earning potential of our assets by transferring equipment among branches to satisfy customer needs.

We offer our equipment for rent to a diverse customer base that includes construction and industrial companies, manufacturers, utilities, municipalities, homeowners and government entities. Our revenues are derived from the following sources: equipment rentals, sales of rental equipment, sales of new equipment, contractor supplies sales and service and other revenues. Equipment rentals represented 86 percent of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

For the past several years, we have executed a strategy focused on improving the profitability of our core equipment rental business through revenue growth, margin expansion and operational efficiencies. In particular, we have focused on customer segmentation, customer service differentiation, rate management, fleet management and operational efficiency. Our general strategy focuses on profitability and return on invested capital, and, in particular, calls for:

•A consistently superior standard of service to customers, often provided through a single lead contact who can coordinate the cross-selling of the various services we offer throughout our network. We utilize a proprietary software application, Total Control®, which provides our key customers with a single in-house software application that enables them to monitor and manage all their equipment needs. Total Control® is a unique customer offering that enables us to develop strong, long-term relationships with our larger customers. Our digital capabilities, including our Total Control® platform, allow our sales teams to provide contactless end-to-end customer service;

•The further optimization of our customer mix and fleet mix, with a dual objective: to enhance our performance in serving our current customer base, and to focus on the accounts and customer types that are best suited to our strategy for profitable growth. We believe these efforts will lead to even better service of our target accounts, primarily large construction and industrial customers, as well as select local contractors. Our fleet team's analyses are aligned with these objectives to identify trends in equipment categories and define action plans that can generate improved returns;

•A continued focus on “Lean” management techniques, including kaizen processes focused on continuous improvement. We have a dedicated team responsible for reducing waste in our operational processes, with the objectives of: condensing the cycle time associated with preparing equipment for rent; optimizing our resources for delivery and pickup of equipment; improving the effectiveness and efficiency of our repair and maintenance operations; and implementing customer service best practices;

•The continued expansion and cross-selling of adjacent specialty and services products, which enables us to provide a “one-stop” shop for our customers. We believe that the expansion of our specialty business, as exhibited by our acquisition of Yak Access, LLC, Yak Mat, LLC and New South Access & Environmental Solutions, LLC (collectively, “Yak”) in March 2024 and other recent, smaller acquisitions in Australia, as well as our tools and onsite services offerings, further positions United Rentals as a single source provider of total jobsite solutions through our extensive product and service resources and technology offerings; and

•The pursuit of strategic acquisitions to continue to expand our core equipment rental business, as exhibited by our acquisition of assets of Ahern Rentals, Inc. (“Ahern Rentals”) in December 2022, as well as other smaller, more recent acquisitions. Strategic acquisitions allow us to invest our capital to expand our business, further driving our ability to accomplish our strategic goals.

Prior to taking actions pertaining to our financial flexibility and liquidity, we assess our available sources and anticipated uses of cash, including, with respect to sources, cash generated from operations and from the sale of rental equipment. As of March 31, 2026, we had available liquidity of $3.377 billion, comprised of cash and cash equivalents, and availability under the ABL and accounts receivable securitization facilities.

In April 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a $1.5 billion share repurchase program, which was increased to $2.0 billion following the enactment of new federal tax legislation in July 2025. This program was completed in the first quarter of 2026. In January 2026, our Board of Directors authorized a new $5.0 billion share repurchase program that has no expiration date, and repurchases under this program began in March 2026, following completion of the prior $2.0 billion share repurchase program. We have repurchased $25 under the $5.0 billion program through March 31, 2026. We intend to complete $1.5 billion of total repurchases in 2026, comprised of $1.15 billion of repurchases under the $5.0 billion program and the $350 of repurchases made to complete the $2.0 billion program. A 1 percent excise tax is imposed on “net repurchases” (certain purchases minus certain issuances) of common stock. The repurchases above (as well as the total program sizes) do not include the excise tax, which totaled $2 year-to-date through March 31, 2026 (the total excise tax amount relates to both the current program and the prior program that was completed in the first quarter of 2026).

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we paid dividends of $125 ($1.97 per share) and $118 ($1.79 per share), respectively. On April 22, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $1.97 per share, payable on May 27, 2026 to stockholders of record on May 13, 2026.

Merger Termination Benefit. In January 2025, we announced that we had signed a merger agreement to acquire H&E Equipment Services, Inc. d/b/a H&E Rentals (“H&E”). In February 2025, following the termination of that merger agreement, we received a break-up fee of $64. Our results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 include a net $39 merger termination benefit, which reflects this break-up fee, net of related transaction costs. The net merger termination benefit is comprised of $12 of professional fees recorded in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, $13 of bridge financing fees recorded in interest expense, net, and the break-up fee of $64 recorded in other income, net. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the impact of the merger termination was a $29 after-tax benefit, or $0.45 per diluted share, for net income and a $52 benefit for adjusted EBITDA (as defined below), cash flow from operating activities and free cash flow (as defined below).

Net income. Net income and diluted earnings per share are presented below.

Net income and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2025 include the impact of the H&E merger termination benefit discussed above. The impact of the merger termination for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was a net after-tax benefit of $29, or $0.45 per diluted share. Net income and diluted earnings per share include the after-tax impacts of the items below. The tax rates applied to the items below reflect the statutory rates in the applicable entities.
