Herc Holdings Reports Full Year 2024 Results and Announces 2025 Full Year Guidance

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Herc Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HRI) ("Herc Holdings" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. "In 2024, despite a more challenging market than anticipated, we delivered another year of record results, significantly outperforming industry revenue growth by leveraging the strength of tenured customer relationships, the value derived from strategic capital-allocation priorities and our diversified position across products, geographies and end markets," said Larry Silber, president and chief executive officer. "While the higher-for-longer interest rate environment continues to pressure local market growth, we captured an outsized share of national account mega projects last year. We also completed nine acquisitions, supporting market consolidation and positioning our company for long-term growth opportunities and greater efficiencies of scale. Strategic pricing, agile fleet management, and enterprise-wide cost controls helped to sustain margins in this dynamic environment. "The 2025 operating landscape is still lacking good clarity. We are monitoring industry opportunities and believe the diversity of our business model, asset optimization and prudent investments will allow us to navigate local market pressure again this year, while capitalizing on incremental new mega project starts. Long term, we expect new government policies and spending initiatives will expand opportunities for Herc and our industry.” 2024 Fourth Quarter Financial Results Total revenues increased 14% to $951 million compared to $831 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase of $120 million primarily related to an increase in equipment rental revenue of $91 million, reflecting positive pricing of 2.1% and increased volume of 11.6%. Sales of rental equipment increased by $28 million during the period. Dollar utilization decreased to 40.6% in the fourth quarter compared to 40.9% in the prior-year period. Direct operating expenses were $324 million, or 38.6% of equipment rental revenue, compared to $287 million, or 38.4% in the prior-year period. The increase related primarily to the growth of the business with personnel and facilities costs associated with greenfields and acquisitions. Depreciation of rental equipment increased 10% to $180 million due to higher year-over-year average fleet size. Non-rental depreciation and amortization increased 21% to $35 million primarily due to amortization of acquisition intangible assets. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $122 million, or 14.5% of equipment rental revenue, compared to $116 million, or 15.5% in the prior-year period. The decrease as a percent of rental revenue was due to continued focus on improving operating leverage while expanding revenues. Interest expense increased to $67 million compared with $62 million in the prior-year period due to higher average debt balances, primarily to fund acquisition growth and invest in rental equipment, partially offset by slightly lower interest rates on floating rate debt. Loss on assets held for sale was $194 million during the fourth quarter of 2024 to adjust the carrying value of Cinelease net assets to its fair value less estimated costs to sell. Net loss was $46 million compared to net income of $91 million in the prior-year period. The net loss in the current period was the result of the loss on Cinelease assets held for sale. Adjusted net income increased 11% to $102 million, or $3.58 per diluted share, compared to $92 million, or $3.24 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. The income tax provision in the fourth quarter was driven primarily by non-deductible goodwill impairment related to the loss on Cinelease assets held for sale and certain other non-deductible expenses. Adjusted EBITDA increased 15% to $438 million compared to $382 million in the prior-year period and adjusted EBITDA margin was 46.1% compared to 46.0% in the prior-year period. 2024 Full Year Financial Results Total revenues increased 9% to $3,568 million compared to $3,282 million in the prior-year period. The year-over-year increase of $286 million primarily related to an increase in equipment rental revenue of $319 million, or 11%, reflecting positive pricing of 3.2% and increased volume of 9.3%, partially offset by unfavorable mix driven primarily by inflation. Sales of rental equipment decreased by $35 million year over year. Fleet rotation in the prior year period was accelerated due to easing of supply chain disruptions in certain categories of equipment. Dollar utilization increased to 40.9% compared to 40.8% in the prior-year period. Direct operating expenses were $1,291 million, or 40.5% of equipment rental revenue, compared to $1,139 million, or 39.7% in the prior-year period. The increase related primarily to the growth of the business with personnel, facilities, maintenance and re-rent expense increases associated with greenfields and acquisitions. Additionally, insurance expense increased, primarily related to increased self insurance reserves due to claims development attributable to unsettled cases and growth of the business. Finally, an increase in delivery expenses were due to higher volume of transactions and internal transfers of equipment to branches in higher growth regions to drive fleet efficiency. Depreciation of rental equipment increased 6% to $679 million due to higher year-over-year average fleet size. Non-rental depreciation and amortization increased 13% to $127 million primarily due to amortization of acquisition intangible assets. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $480 million, or 15.1% of equipment rental revenue, compared to $448 million, or 15.6% in the prior-year period. The decrease as a percent of rental revenue was due to continued focus on improving operating leverage while expanding revenues. Interest expense increased to $260 million compared with $224 million in the prior-year period due to higher average debt balances primarily to fund acquisition growth and invest in rental equipment. Loss on assets held for sale was $194 million during 2024 to adjust the carrying value of Cinelease net assets to its fair value less estimated costs to sell. Net income was $211 million compared to $347 million in the prior-year period. Net income was impacted for the full year by the loss on Cinelease assets held for sale. Adjusted net income increased to $367 million, or $12.88 per diluted share, an increase of 5%, compared to $353 million, or $12.30 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. The effective tax rate was 27% compared to 22% in the prior-year period. The rate increase was driven by the non-deductible goodwill impairment in 2024, a reduction in the benefit related to stock-based compensation, and certain other non-deductible expenses. Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% to $1,583 million compared to $1,452 million in the prior-year period and adjusted EBITDA margin was 44.4% compared to 44.2% in the prior-year period. Rental Fleet Net rental equipment capital expenditures were as follows (in millions): Year Ended December 31, 2024 2023 Rental equipment expenditures $ 1,048 $ 1,320 Proceeds from disposal of rental equipment (288 ) (325 ) Net rental equipment capital expenditures $ 760 $ 995 As of December 31, 2024, the Company's total fleet was approximately $7.0 billion at OEC. Average fleet at OEC in the fourth quarter increased 13% compared to the prior-year period and increased 11% for the year. Average fleet age was 46 months as of December 31, 2024 compared to 45 months in the comparable prior-year period. Disciplined Capital Management The Company completed 9 acquisitions with a total of 28 locations and opened 23 new greenfield locations during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. Net debt was $4.0 billion as of December 31, 2024, with net leverage of 2.5x unchanged from December 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents and unused commitments under the ABL Credit Facility contributed to approximately $1.9 billion of liquidity as of December 31, 2024. The Company declared its quarterly dividend of $0.665 paid to shareholders of record as of December 16, 2024 on December 27, 2024. 2025 Outlook - Excluding Cinelease The Company is announcing its full year 2025 equipment rental revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA, and gross and net rental capital expenditures guidance ranges, excluding Cinelease studio entertainment and lighting and grip equipment rental business. The sale process for the Cinelease studio entertainment business is ongoing and a transaction is expected to be complete in 2025. Current Equipment rental revenue growth: 4% to 6% Adjusted EBITDA: $1.575 billion to $1.650 billion Net rental equipment capital expenditures: $400 million to $600 million Gross capex: $700 million to $900 million 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 strategic acquisitions and greenfield opportunities, and cross-selling a diversified product portfolio.

AND SUBSIDIARIES SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULES 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 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.
