"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.”

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.

FREE CASH FLOW
Unaudited
(In millions)
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, 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.
