Exhibit No. | Description | |
99.1 |
• | Rental revenue2 increased 16.2% year-over-year. Within rental revenue, owned equipment rental revenue increased 15.8%, reflecting increases of 18.2% in the volume of equipment on rent and 0.1% in rental rates. |
• | Pro forma3 rental revenue increased 8.9% year-over-year, reflecting growth of 7.6% in the volume of equipment on rent and a 0.9% increase in rental rates. |
• | Time utilization increased 160 basis points year-over-year to 71.9%, a third quarter record, with each month in the quarter also establishing a new monthly record. On a pro forma basis, time utilization increased 180 basis points year-over-year. |
• | The company’s Trench, Power and Pump specialty segment's rental revenue increased by 32.9% year-over-year, primarily on a same store basis, while the segment’s rental gross margin improved by 280 basis points to 54.8%. |
• | The company generated $139 million of proceeds from used equipment sales at a GAAP gross margin of 39.6% and an adjusted gross margin of 56.8%, compared with $112 million at a GAAP gross margin of 39.3% and an adjusted gross margin of 46.4% for the same period last year. The year-over-year increase in adjusted gross margin primarily reflected the impact of sales of NES equipment.4 |
1. | Adjusted EPS (earnings per share) and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of the items noted in the tables below. See the tables below for amounts and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. |
2. | Rental revenue includes owned equipment rental revenue, re-rent revenue and ancillary revenue. |
3. | Pro forma results reflect the combination of United Rentals and NES Rentals ("NES") for all periods presented. The NES acquisition closed on April 3, 2017. |
4. | Used equipment sales adjusted gross margin excludes the impact of the fair value mark-up of acquired RSC and NES fleet that was sold. |
• | Rental revenue increased 11.7% year-over-year. Within rental revenue, owned equipment rental revenue increased 11.3%, reflecting an increase of 14.5% in the volume of equipment on rent, partially offset by a 0.7% decrease in rental rates. |
• | Pro forma rental revenue increased 6.5% year-over-year, reflecting growth of 6.9% in the volume of equipment on rent, partially offset by a 0.2% decline in rental rates. |
• | Time utilization increased 190 basis points year-over-year on both an actual and a pro forma basis to 69.3% and 69.0%, respectively. |
• | The company’s Trench, Power and Pump specialty segment's rental revenue increased by 23.6% year-over-year, primarily on a same store basis, while the segment’s rental gross margin improved by 280 basis points to 50.4%. |
• | The company generated $378 million of proceeds from used equipment sales at a GAAP gross margin of 40.5% and an adjusted gross margin of 53.7%, compared with $361 million at a GAAP gross margin of 40.4% and an adjusted gross margin of 47.6% for the same period last year. The year-over-year increase in adjusted gross margin primarily reflected the impact of sales of NES equipment. |
• | The company generated $1.766 billion of net cash provided by operating activities and $582 million of free cash flow5, compared with $1.630 billion and $846 million, respectively, for the same period last year. Net rental capital expenditures were $1.107 billion, compared with $784 million for the same period last year. |
• | The company issued $2.925 billion of debt due from 2025 through 2028. The proceeds from the debt issuances were primarily used to fund the NES and Neff acquisitions, and to redeem $1.175 billion of debt that would have been due in 2022 and 2023. The company additionally increased the sizes of its ABL and AR securitization facilities by $500 million and $50 million, respectively. The company expects to redeem the remaining $225 million principal amount of its 7 5/8 percent Senior Notes due 2022 in the fourth quarter of 2017. |
5. | Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure. See the table below for amounts and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure. |
Prior Outlook | Current Outlook | |||
Total revenue | $6.25 billion to $6.40 billion | $6.525 billion to $6.625 billion | ||
Adjusted EBITDA6 | $2.950 billion to $3.025 billion | $3.10 billion to $3.15 billion | ||
Net rental capital expenditures after gross purchases | $1.05 billion to $1.15 billion, after gross purchases of $1.55 billion to $1.65 billion | $1.25 billion to $1.30 billion, after gross purchases of $1.75 billion to $1.80 billion | ||
Net cash provided by operating activities | $1.975 billion to $2.175 billion | $2.275 billion to $2.375 billion | ||
Free cash flow (excluding the impact of merger and restructuring related costs) | $825 million to $925 million | $925 million to $975 million |
6. | Information reconciling forward-looking adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the company without unreasonable effort, as discussed below. |

(1) | In 2017, we adopted accounting guidance on share-based payments, as a result of which the excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements for 2017 are presented as a component of net cash provided by operating activities (within net income), while, for 2016, they are presented as a component of net cash used in financing activities. |
(2) | The 2017 repurchases reflect shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock unit awards, and were not acquired pursuant to any repurchase plan or program. We have an open $1 billion share repurchase program, under which we have purchased $627 million to date, that we paused as we evaluated potential acquisition opportunities. We completed the NES and Neff acquisitions in April 2017 and October 2017, respectively. In October 2017, we resumed the share repurchase program, and we intend to complete the program in 2018. The 2016 repurchases included i) shares repurchased pursuant to the $1 billion share repurchase program and ii) shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock unit awards. |

(1) | Reflects transaction costs associated with the NES and Neff acquisitions discussed above. We have made a number of acquisitions in the past and may continue to make acquisitions in the future. Merger related costs only include costs associated with major acquisitions that significantly impact our operations. The historic acquisitions that have included merger related costs are RSC, which had annual revenues of approximately $1.5 billion prior to the acquisition, and National Pump, which had annual revenues of over $200 million prior to the acquisition. NES had annual revenues of approximately $369 million, and Neff had annual revenues of approximately $413 million. |
(2) | Primarily reflects severance and branch closure charges associated with our closed restructuring programs and our current restructuring program. We only include such costs that are part of a restructuring program as restructuring charges. Since the first such restructuring program was initiated in 2008, we have completed three restructuring programs. We have cumulatively incurred total restructuring charges of $262 million under our restructuring programs. |
(3) | Represents non-cash, share-based payments associated with the granting of equity instruments. |
(4) | Reflects additional costs recorded in cost of rental equipment sales associated with the fair value mark-up of rental equipment acquired in the RSC and NES acquisitions and subsequently sold. |

(1) | The excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements result from stock-based compensation windfall deductions in excess of the amounts reported for financial reporting purposes. We adopted accounting guidance in 2017 that changed the cash flow presentation of excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements. In the table above, the excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements for 2017 are presented as a component of net cash provided by operating activities, while, for 2016, they are presented as a separate line item. Because we historically included the excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements in the free cash flow calculation, the adoption of this guidance did not change the calculation of free cash flow. |
(2) | Free cash flow included aggregate merger and restructuring related payments of $21 million and $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $52 million and $11 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. |
