Herc Holdings Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results and
Reaffirms 2025 Full Year Guidance

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights
–H&E technology integration completed
–Equipment rental revenue of $1,122 million increased 30%
–Total revenues of $1,304 million increased 35%
–Net income of $30 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, and adjusted net income of $74 million, or $2.22 per diluted share
–Adjusted EBITDA of $551 million increased 24% with adjusted EBITDA margin of 42%
–Successfully completed the sale of Cinelease studio entertainment business on July 31, 2025

Bonita Springs, Fla., October 28, 2025 -- Herc Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HRI) ("Herc Holdings" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
“As we continue to execute on our strategic priorities, the third quarter marked a pivotal step in unlocking the value of our acquisition of H&E Equipment Services,” said Larry Silber, president and chief executive officer. “From day one, our focus has been on bringing together the strengths of both companies through a seamless integration, and we’re very pleased with the pace and success of those efforts to date.

“In the third quarter, we achieved a major milestone by completing the full IT integration—successfully migrating all of the acquired branches onto Herc’s systems and network infrastructure within a best-in-class timeline. Our combined team now operates from a single, unified dashboard that spans ERP, fleet management, pricing, CRM, logistics, business intelligence, human capital management and our industry-leading, customer-facing technology platform, ProControl by Herc RentalsTM. This alignment is poised to drive efficiencies and position us for long term market-share expansion.

“As we continue integration efforts for fleet and branch network optimization, the operating environment remains stable despite broader macroeconomic uncertainties. While local market growth is tempered by prolonged high interest rates, our national accounts and specialty products and solutions delivered another strong quarter. Our scale and diversified footprint—across geographies, end markets, and product lines—continue to be key strengths, enabling us to navigate this bifurcated landscape with resilience and agility,” said Silber.

2025 Third Quarter Financial Results

•Total revenues increased 35% to $1,304 million compared to $965 million in the prior-year period. This year-over-year increase was driven by a 30% increase in equipment rental revenue. Sales of rental equipment increased by $70 million during the period as acquisition fleet was sold to improve mix and utilization.

•Dollar utilization was 39.9% in the third quarter compared to 42.2% in the prior-year period, primarily due to lower utilization of the acquired fleet ahead of fleet optimization initiatives.

•Direct operating expenses were $467 million, or 41.6% of equipment rental revenue, compared to $334 million, or 38.6% in the prior-year period. Operating expenses as a percent of equipment rental revenue were elevated during the period due to lower fixed cost absorption as a result of the ongoing moderation in certain local markets and acquisition-related redundancies, preceding the full impact of cost synergies and IT integration.

•Depreciation of rental equipment increased 41% to $246 million due to higher year-over-year average fleet size primarily as a result of the H&E acquisition. Non-rental depreciation and amortization increased 112% to $70 million primarily due to amortization of the H&E customer relationship intangible asset and an increase in non-rental asset depreciation resulting from the growth of the business.

•Selling, general and administrative expenses were $166 million, or 14.8% of equipment rental revenue compared to $120 million, or 13.9% of equipment rental revenue in the prior-year period. The increase as a percent of equipment rental revenue primarily was related to an increase in stock-based compensation expense including stock awards granted to certain H&E employees as part of the merger related agreements.

•Transaction expenses were $38 million compared to $3 million in the prior-year period. The increase is related to costs incurred for the H&E acquisition, primarily fleet retitling costs, consulting and professional fees.

•Interest expense was $134 million compared with $69 million in the prior-year period, reflecting the new debt facilities issued in June 2025 to fund the H&E acquisition.
•Net income was $30 million compared to $122 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income decreased 40% to $74 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, compared to $124 million, or $4.35 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

•Adjusted EBITDA increased 24% to $551 million compared to $446 million in the prior-year period and adjusted EBITDA margin was 42.3% compared to 46.2% in the prior-year period. The decrease in margin was primarily due to the impact of acquisition-related redundant costs preceding integration and a larger proportion of overall volume of used equipment sales through the lower margin auction channel to begin rightsizing acquired fleet. Margin on sales of rental equipment was 11% in the current year compared to 19% in the prior-year period.

2025 Nine Months Financial Results

•Total revenues increased 21% to $3,167 million compared to $2,617 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase was driven by a 16% increase in equipment rental revenue. Sales of rental equipment increased by $147 million during the period as acquisition fleet was sold to improve mix and utilization.

•Dollar utilization was 38.8% compared to 41.0% in the prior-year period, primarily due to lower utilization of the acquired fleet ahead of fleet optimization initiatives.

•Direct operating expenses were $1,173 million, or 43.0% of equipment rental revenue, compared to $967 million, or 41.1%, in the prior-year period. Operating expenses as a percent of equipment rental revenue were elevated during the period due to lower fixed cost absorption as a result of the ongoing moderation in certain local markets and acquisition-related redundancies, preceding the full impact of cost synergies and IT integration.

•Depreciation of rental equipment increased 23% to $613 million due to higher year-over-year average fleet size, primarily as a result of the H&E acquisition. Non-rental depreciation and amortization increased 61% to $148 million, primarily due to amortization of intangible assets related to the H&E and Otay acquisitions and an increase in non-rental asset depreciation resulting from the growth of the business.

•Selling, general and administrative expenses were $411 million, or 15.0% of equipment rental revenue, compared to $349 million, or 14.9% of equipment rental revenue, in the prior-year period. The increase as a percent of equipment rental revenue primarily was related to an increase in stock-based compensation expense including stock awards granted to certain H&E employees as part of the merger related agreements, partially offset by initial acquisition cost synergies obtained as well as overall cost control measures introduced to mitigate the impact of moderation in certain local markets.

2




•Transaction expenses were $185 million compared to $9 million in the prior-year period. The increase related to costs incurred for the H&E acquisition, primarily a $64 million termination fee paid on behalf of H&E, advisory fees of $27 million, commitment fees related to the bridge facility of $21 million and various other consulting, professional and legal fees.

•Interest expense was $282 million compared with $193 million in the prior-year period, reflecting new debt facilities issued in June 2025 to fund the H&E acquisition.

•Loss on assets held for sale was $48 million during the current year to adjust the carrying value of Cinelease net assets to its fair value less estimated costs to sell prior to its divestiture on July 31, 2025.

•Net loss was $23 million compared to net income of $257 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income was $170 million, or $5.54 per diluted share, compared to $265 million, or $9.30 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

•Adjusted EBITDA increased 13% to $1,299 million compared to $1,145 million in the prior-year period and adjusted EBITDA margin was 41.0% compared to 43.8% in the prior-year period. The decrease in margin was primarily due to the impact of acquisition-related redundant costs preceding integration and a larger proportion of overall volume of used equipment sales through the lower margin auction channel to begin rightsizing acquired fleet. Margin on sales of rental equipment was 18% in the current year compared to 27% in the prior-year period.
Rental Fleet
•Net rental equipment capital expenditures were as follows (in millions):
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2025 2024
Rental equipment expenditures $ 835  $ 753 
Proceeds from disposal of rental equipment (306) (198)

•Average fleet at OEC in the third quarter increased 38% compared to the prior-year period.
•Average fleet age was 45 months and 46 months at September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Disciplined Capital Management
•The Company opened 17 greenfield locations during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

•Net debt was $8.2 billion as of September 30, 2025, with net leverage of 3.8x1 compared to 2.7x in the same prior-year period. Cash and cash equivalents and unused commitments under the ABL Credit Facility contributed to approximately $1.8 billion of liquidity as of September 30, 2025.

•The Company declared its quarterly dividend of $0.70 paid to shareholders of record as of August 22, 2025 on September 5, 2025.
(1) Current period net leverage is calculated using pro forma trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA including the standalone, pre-acquisition results of H&E.

Cinelease Divestiture
On July 31, 2025, the Company completed the divestiture of the Cinelease studio entertainment business for initial cash consideration of $100 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, and agreed upon earn outs pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of Cinelease to repay a portion of the New ABL Credit Facility.

2025 Outlook—Excluding Cinelease
The Company is reaffirming its full year 2025 equipment rental revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and gross and net rental capital expenditures guidance ranges, excluding Cinelease studio entertainment and lighting and grip equipment rental business.

Equipment rental revenue:
$3.7 billion to $3.9 billion
Adjusted EBITDA:
$1.8 billion to $1.9 billion
Net rental equipment capital expenditures:
 $400 million to $600 million
Gross capex:
$900 million to $1.1 billion
As a leader in an industry where scale matters, the Company expects to continue to gain share by capturing an outsized position of the forecasted higher construction spending in 2025 by investing in its fleet, optimizing its existing fleet, capitalizing on recent acquisitions and greenfield opportunities, and cross-selling a diversified product portfolio.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) the cyclical nature of our industry and our dependence on the levels of capital investment and maintenance expenditures by our customers; (2) the competitiveness of our industry, including the potential downward pricing pressures or the inability to increase prices; (3) our dependence on relationships with key suppliers; (4) our heavy reliance on communication networks, centralized information technology systems and third party technology and services and our ability to maintain, upgrade or replace our information technology systems; (5) our ability to respond adequately to changes in technology and customer demands; (6) our ability to attract and retain key management, sales and trades talent; (7) our rental fleet is subject to residual value risk upon disposition; (8) the impact of climate change and the legal and regulatory responses to such change; (9) our ability to execute our strategy to grow through strategic transactions; (10) our significant indebtedness; and (11) our ability to integrate the acquisition of H&E Equipment Services, Inc. into our business and our ability to realize all the anticipated benefits of the transaction.

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, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate operating performance and period-over-period performance of our core business without regard to potential distortions, and believes that investors will likewise find these non-GAAP measures useful in evaluating the Company’s performance. These measures are frequently used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. For the definitions of these terms, further information about management’s use of these measures as well as a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the supplemental schedules that accompany this release.

EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA RECONCILIATIONS
Unaudited
(In millions)


EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA represents the sum of net income (loss), provision (benefit) for income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation of rental equipment and non-rental depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus the sum of transaction 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, impact of the fair value mark-up of acquired fleet, impact of the studio entertainment 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.

Q3 2025Herc Holdings Inc. NYSE: HRI 3 Safe Harbor Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Measures Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. 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. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) the cyclical nature of our industry and our dependence on the levels of capital investment and maintenance expenditures by our customers; (2) the competitiveness of our industry, including the potential downward pricing pressures or the inability to increase prices; (3) our dependence on relationships with key suppliers; (4) our heavy reliance on communication networks, centralized information technology systems and third party technology and services and our ability to maintain, upgrade or replace our information technology systems; (5) our ability to respond adequately to changes in technology and customer demands; (6) our ability to attract and retain key management, sales and trades talent; (7) our rental fleet is subject to residual value risk upon disposition; (8) the impact of climate change and the legal and regulatory responses to such change; (9) our ability to execute our strategy to grow through strategic transactions;(10) our significant indebtedness; and (11) our ability to integrate the acquisition of H&E Equipment Services, Inc. into our business and our ability to realize all the anticipated benefits of the transaction. 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, free cash flow and adjusted 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.

Appendix


 
Q3 2025Herc Holdings Inc. NYSE: HRI 19 Glossary of Terms Commonly Use 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 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.


 
Q3 2025Herc Holdings Inc. NYSE: HRI 20 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, 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 transaction 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, impact of the fair value mark-up of acquired fleet, impact of the studio entertainment 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 and Adjusted Free Cash Flow—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. Adjusted free cash flow removes the impact on operating activities of cash paid for transaction costs. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are 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.
