Acquisitions

On April 30, 2012, we acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common shares and voting interest of RSC Holdings Inc. ("RSC"). The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred was $2.6 billion. The results of RSC's operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. RSC, which had total revenues of $1.5 billion in 2011, was one of the largest equipment rental providers in North America, and had a network of 440 rental locations in 43 U.S. states and three Canadian provinces as of December 31, 2011. The acquisition has created a leading North American equipment rental company with a more attractive business mix, greater scale and enhanced growth prospects, and we believe that the acquisition has provided us with financial benefits including reduced operating expenses and additional revenue opportunities. Since the acquisition date, significant amounts of fleet have been moved between legacy United Rentals locations and the acquired RSC locations, and it is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amounts of revenue and earnings of RSC since the acquisition date.

In April 2014, we completed the acquisition of assets of National Pump. National Pump was the second largest specialty pump rental company in North America. National Pump was a leading supplier of pumps for energy and petrochemical customers, with upstream oil and gas customers representing about half of its revenue. National Pump had a total of 35 branches, including four branches in western Canada, and had annual revenues of approximately $210. The acquisition is expected to expand our product offering, and supports our strategy of expanding our presence in industrial and specialty rental markets.

The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:



Cash consideration (1)	$	773
Contingent consideration (2)	76
Total purchase consideration (3)	$	849

(1) Consists of cash paid of $714 and a ‘hold back’ of $59, which is subject to a final working capital true-up.

(2) Reflects the acquisition date fair value of the following additional cash consideration to be paid based on the achievement of the following financial targets:

1.A maximum payout of $75 if National Pump's trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA (as defined in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations- Financial Overview”) reaches $134 twelve months post-closing; and

2.An additional maximum payout of $50 if National Pump's trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA reaches $161 eighteen months post-closing.

(3) Total purchase consideration excludes $15 of stock which was issued in connection with the acquisition and will be treated as compensation for book purposes but primarily represents deductible goodwill for income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocations for these assets and liabilities are based on preliminary valuations and are subject to change as we obtain additional information during the acquisition measurement period.



Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts (1)	$	44
Inventory	19
Deferred taxes	6
Rental equipment	172
Property and equipment	10
Intangibles (2)	289
Other assets	1
Total identifiable assets acquired	541
Current liabilities	(25		)
Total liabilities assumed	(25		)
Net identifiable assets acquired	516
Goodwill (3)	333
Net assets acquired	$	849

(1) The fair value of accounts receivables acquired was $44, and the gross contractual amount was $47. We estimated that $3 would be uncollectible.

(2) The following table reflects the estimated fair values and useful lives of the acquired intangible assets identified based on our purchase accounting assessments:



	Fair value		Life (years)
Customer relationships	$	274	10
Non-compete agreements	15		6
Total	$	289

(3) $321 of the goodwill was assigned to our trench safety, power and HVAC (heating, ventilating and air conditioning), and pump solutions segment and $12 of the goodwill was assigned to our general rentals segment. The level of goodwill that resulted from the merger is primarily reflective of National Pump's going-concern value, the value of National Pump's assembled workforce, new customer relationships expected to arise from the merger, and operational synergies that we expect to achieve that would not be available to other market participants. $348 of goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The year ended December 31, 2014 includes National Pump acquisition-related costs of $10. The acquisition-related costs are reflected in our consolidated statements of income as “Merger related costs” which also include costs associated with the acquisition of RSC. The merger related costs primarily relate to financial and legal advisory fees, and also include changes subsequent to the acquisition date to the fair value of the contingent cash consideration we expect to pay associated with the National Pump acquisition as discussed in note 11 to our consolidated financial statements. We do not expect to incur significant additional charges in connection with the merger subsequent to December 31, 2014. In addition to the acquisition-related costs reflected in our consolidated statements of income, we capitalized $22 of debt issuance costs associated with the issuance of debt to fund the acquisition, which are reflected, net of amortization subsequent to the acquisition date, in other long-term assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

The pro forma information below has been prepared using the purchase method of accounting, giving effect to the National Pump acquisition as if it had been completed on January 1, 2013 (“the pro forma acquisition date”). The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of our results of operations had the acquisition been completed on the above date, nor is it necessarily indicative of our future results. The pro forma information does not reflect any cost savings from operating efficiencies or synergies that could result from the acquisition, and also does not reflect additional revenue opportunities following the acquisition. The pro forma information includes adjustments to record the acquired assets and liabilities of National Pump at their respective fair values based on available information and to give effect to the financing for the acquisition. The pro forma adjustments reflected in the table below are subject to change as additional analysis is performed. The purchase price allocations for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary valuations and are subject to change as we obtain additional information during the acquisition measurement period. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired may impact our statements of income in future periods. We expect that the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be finalized during the one-year measurement period following the acquisition date. The table below presents unaudited pro forma consolidated income statement information as if National Pump had been included in our consolidated results for the entire periods reflected:



	Year Ended December 31,
	2014			2013
United Rentals historic revenues	$	5,685		$	4,955
National Pump historic revenues	62			208
Pro forma revenues	5,747			5,163
United Rentals historic pretax income	850			605
National Pump historic pretax income	20			62
Combined pretax income	870			667
Pro forma adjustments to combined pretax income:
Impact of fair value mark-ups/useful life changes on depreciation (1)	(1		)	(4		)
Intangible asset amortization (2)	(12		)	(52		)
Interest expense (3)	58			(95		)
Elimination of historic National Pump interest (4)	—			2
Elimination of merger costs (5)	8			—
Pro forma pretax income	$	923		$	518

(1) Depreciation of rental equipment and non-rental depreciation were adjusted for the fair value mark-ups of equipment acquired in the National Pump acquisition. The useful lives assigned to such equipment didn’t change significantly from the lives historically used by National Pump.

(2) The intangible assets acquired in the National Pump acquisition were amortized.

(3) In connection with the National Pump acquisition, URNA issued $525 principal amount of 6 ¹/₈ percent Senior Notes (as an add on to our existing 6 ¹/₈ percent Senior Notes) and $850 principal amount of 5 ³/₄ percent Senior Notes, and all our outstanding 9 ¹/₄ percent Senior Notes were redeemed, as discussed in note 12 to the consolidated financial statements. Interest expense was adjusted to reflect these changes in our debt portfolio. For the pro forma presentation, the $64 loss recognized upon redemption of the 9 ¹/₄ percent Senior Notes discussed in note 12 to the consolidated financial statements was moved from the year ended December 31, 2014 to the year ended December 31, 2013.

(4) Interest on National Pump historic debt was eliminated.

(5) Merger related costs, primarily comprised of financial and legal advisory fees, associated with the National Pump acquisition were eliminated as they were assumed to have been recognized prior to the pro forma acquisition date.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, National Pump revenue and pretax income included in our consolidated financial statements were $215 and $42, respectively. National Pump pretax income excludes merger related costs which are not allocated to our segments.

In addition to the acquisitions of RSC and National Pump, in August 2013, we completed the acquisition of Rent World, an equipment rental company with two locations in Alberta, Canada. Rent World had annual rental revenues of approximately $5. Additionally, in May 2014, we completed the acquisition of Blue Stream, an equipment rental company with four locations in Louisiana and Texas. Blue Stream had annual rental revenues of approximately $20.
