CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the year ended June 30, 2020 (this "Report") includes "forward-looking statements," as that term is defined by the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our business plans and strategy, projected profitability, performance or cash flows, future capital expenditures, anticipated financing needs, business trends, the impact of COVID-19 on our business and other information that is not historical information. Forward looking statements are generally identified by the words "estimates," "expects," "anticipates," "projects," "plans," "intends," "believes," "forecasts," 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 apply only as of the date of this Report. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that our expectations, beliefs and projections will be achieved.

There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those suggested by our forward-looking statements, including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 under Item 1A "Risk Factors," and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by such cautionary statements. 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.

Note 1—Background

Herc Holdings Inc. ("we," "us," "our," "Herc Holdings,"or "the Company") is one of the leading equipment rental suppliers with approximately 270 locations in North America at June 30, 2020. The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through subsidiaries, including Herc Rentals Inc. ("Herc"). With over 50 years of experience, the Company is a full-line equipment rental supplier offering a broad portfolio of equipment for rent. In addition to its principal business of equipment rental, the Company sells used equipment and contractor supplies such as construction consumables, tools, small equipment and safety supplies; provides repair, maintenance, equipment management services and safety training to certain of its customers; offers equipment re-rental services and provides on-site support to its customers; and provides ancillary services such as equipment transport, rental protection, cleaning, refueling and labor.

The Company's classic fleet includes aerial, earthmoving, material handling, trucks and trailers, air compressors, compaction and lighting. The Company's equipment rental business is supported by ProSolutions^R, its industry-specific solutions-based services, which includes power generation, climate control, remediation and restoration, and studio and production equipment, and its ProContractor professional grade tools.

On June 30, 2016, the Company, in its previous form as the holding company of both the existing equipment rental operations as well as the former vehicle rental operations (in its form prior to the Spin-Off, "Hertz Holdings"), completed a spin-off (the "Spin-Off") of its global vehicle rental business through a dividend to stockholders of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Hertz Rental Car Holding Company, Inc., which was re-named Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("New Hertz") in connection with the Spin-Off. New Hertz is an independent public company and continues to operate its global vehicle rental business through its operating subsidiaries including The Hertz Corporation ("THC"). The Company began operating as an independent company and changed its name to Herc Holdings Inc. on June 30, 2016.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation

The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, however, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for complete annual financial statements and, accordingly, certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2020.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include receivables allowances, depreciation of rental equipment, the recoverability of long-lived assets, useful lives and impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets including goodwill and trade name, pension and postretirement benefits, valuation of stock-based compensation, reserves for litigation and other contingencies and accounting for income taxes, among others.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Herc Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In the event that the Company is a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the variable interest entity are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for investments in joint ventures using the equity method when it has significant influence but not control and is not the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Impacts of COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in China and has since spread globally. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. Federal, state and local efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 intensified in March 2020 when most states in the United States, including Florida where the Company is headquartered, enacted shelter in place orders, declared states of emergency, took steps to restrict travel, enacted temporary closures of non-essential businesses and took other restrictive measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company's business was deemed essential and was allowed to remain open, however, many industries in which its customers operate were required to temporarily close their facilities or delay or cancel projects and events. The Company has reduced its capital spending in the short-term and, where possible, and is also reducing operating expenses while ensuring ongoing safe and reliable operations. Additionally, as the timing of the removal of these measures and the residual economic impact of the pandemic remains unclear, the Company is currently experiencing a year-over-year decrease in volume of fleet on rent and this reduction in volume is likely to have a negative impact on equipment rental revenue. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as state and local governments are re-opening businesses in multiple phases and, in certain jurisdictions, reversing re-opening decisions. Therefore, we cannot predict the extent to which our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will ultimately be impacted.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

Fair Value Measurement

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance that modifies disclosure requirements on fair value measurements, removing and modifying certain disclosures, while adding other disclosures. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new guidance on its effective date and it did not have a material impact on its financial statement disclosures.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires companies to present assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities net of the amount expected to be collected. The guidance requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. Different components of the guidance require modified retrospective or prospective adoption. This guidance does not apply to receivables arising from operating leases and, as discussed in Note 3, "Revenue Recognition," most of the Company's equipment rental revenue is accounted for as lease revenue under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, Leases, ("Topic 842"). The Company adopted this guidance on its effective date and there was no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes. The guidance removes the following exceptions: (i) exceptions to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, (ii) exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment, (iii) exception to the ability not to

recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary and (iv) exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. Additionally, the guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by: (i) requiring that an entity recognize a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax, (ii) requiring that an entity evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be considered a separate transaction, (iii) specifying that an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements (although the entity may elect to do so (on an entity-by-entity basis) for a legal entity that is both not subject to tax and disregarded by the taxing authority), (iv) requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date and (v) making minor improvements for income tax accounting related to employee stock ownership plans and investments in qualified affordable housing projects accounted for using the equity method.  The Company early adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 and there was no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Not Yet Adopted

Compensation - Retirement Benefits

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that adds, removes, and modifies disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans in order to improve the disclosure effectiveness. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt the new and modified disclosures requirements of this new guidance on its effective date.

Note 3—Revenue Recognition

The Company is principally engaged in the business of renting equipment. Ancillary to the Company’s principal equipment rental business, the Company also sells used rental equipment, new equipment and parts and supplies and offers certain services to support its customers. The Company operates in North America with revenue from the United States representing approximately 92.0% and 90.9% of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 89.7% and 89.2% for the same periods in 2019.

The Company’s rental transactions are accounted for under Topic 842. The Company’s sale of rental and new equipment, parts and supplies along with certain services provided to customers are accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ("Topic 606"). The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.

Topic 842 revenues

Equipment Rental Revenue

The Company offers a broad portfolio of equipment for rent on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, with most rental agreements cancelable upon the return of the equipment. Virtually all customer contracts can be canceled by the customer with no penalty by returning the equipment within one day; therefore, the Company does not allocate the transaction price between the different contract elements.

Equipment rental revenue includes revenue generated from renting equipment to customers and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the length of the rental contract. As part of this straight-line methodology, when the equipment is returned, the Company recognizes as incremental revenue the excess, if any, between the amount the customer is contractually required to pay, which is based on the rental contract period applicable to the actual number of days the equipment was out on rent, over the cumulative amount of revenue recognized to date. In any given accounting period, the Company will have customers return equipment and be contractually required to pay more than the cumulative amount of revenue recognized to date under the straight-line methodology. Also included in equipment rental revenue is re-rent revenue in which the Company will rent

specific pieces of equipment from vendors and then re-rent that equipment to its customers. Provisions for discounts, rebates to customers and other adjustments are provided for in the period the related revenue is recorded.

Other

Other equipment rental revenue is primarily comprised of fees for the Company’s rental protection program and environmental charges. Fees paid for the rental protection program allow customers to limit the risk of financial loss in the event the Company’s equipment is damaged or lost. Fees for the rental protection program and environmental recovery fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the length of the rental contract.

Topic 606 revenues

Delivery and pick-up

Delivery and pick-up revenue associated with renting equipment is recognized when the services are performed.

Sales of Rental Equipment, New Equipment, Parts and Supplies

The Company sells its used rental equipment, new equipment, parts and supplies. Revenues recorded for each category are as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Sales of rental equipment	$	31.4	$	51.3	$	71.4	$	136.4
Sales of new equipment	3.1		6.7		6.1		11.2
Sales of parts and supplies	3.9		6.5		7.9		12.9
Total	$	38.4	$	64.5	$	85.4	$	160.5

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of rental equipment, new equipment, parts and supplies when control of the asset transfers to the customer, which is typically when the asset is picked up by or delivered to the customer and when significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer. Sales and other tax amounts collected from customers and remitted to government authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, excluded from revenue.

The Company routinely sells its used rental equipment in order to manage repair and maintenance costs, as well as the composition, age and size of its fleet. The Company disposes of used equipment through a variety of channels including retail sales to customers and other third parties, sales to wholesalers, brokered sales and auctions.

The Company also sells new equipment, parts and supplies. The types of new equipment that the Company sells vary by location and include a variety of ProContractor tools and supplies, small equipment (such as work lighting, generators, pumps, compaction equipment and power trowels), safety supplies and expendables.

Under Topic 606, the accounts receivable balance, prior to allowances for doubtful accounts, for the sale of rental equipment, new equipment, parts and supplies, was approximately $13.2 million and $15.6 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Service and other revenues

Service and other revenues primarily include revenue earned from equipment management and similar services for rental customers which includes providing customer support functions such as dedicated in-plant operations, plant management services, equipment and safety training, and repair and maintenance services particularly to industrial customers who request such services.

The Company recognizes revenue for service and other revenues as the services are provided. Service and other revenues are typically invoiced together with a customer’s rental amounts and, therefore, it is not practical for the Company to separate the accounts receivable amount related to services and other revenues that are accounted for under Topic 606; however, such amount is not considered material.

Receivables and contract assets and liabilities

Most of the Company's equipment rental revenue is accounted for under Topic 842. The customers that are responsible for the remaining equipment rental revenue that is accounted for under Topic 606 are generally the same customers that rent the Company's equipment. Concentration of credit risk with respect to the Company's accounts receivable is limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers makes up its customer base. The Company manages credit risk associated with its accounts receivable at the customer level through credit approvals, credit limits and other monitoring procedures. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts that reflect the Company's estimate of the amount of receivables that the Company will be unable to collect based on its historical write-off experience.

The Company does not have material contract assets or contract liabilities associated with customer contracts. The Company's contracts with customers do not generally result in material amounts billed to customers in excess of recognizable revenue. The Company did not recognize material revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 that was included in the contract liability balance as of the beginning of each such period.

Performance obligations

Most of the Company's revenue recognized under Topic 606 is recognized at a point-in-time, rather than over time. Accordingly, in any particular period, the Company does not generally recognize a significant amount of revenue from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods, and the amount of such revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was not material. We also do not expect to recognize material revenue in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of June 30, 2020.

Contract estimates and judgments

The Company's revenues accounted for under Topic 606 generally do not require significant estimates or judgments, primarily for the following reasons:

•The transaction price is generally fixed and stated on the Company's contracts;

•As noted above, the Company's contracts generally do not include multiple performance obligations, and accordingly do not generally require estimates of the standalone selling price for each performance obligation;

•The Company's revenues do not include material amounts of variable consideration; and

•Most of the Company's revenue is recognized as of a point-in-time and the timing of the satisfaction of the applicable performance obligations is readily determinable. As noted above, the revenue recognized under Topic 606 is generally recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer.

The Company monitors and reviews its estimated standalone selling prices on a regular basis.

Note 5 —Assets Held for Sale and Impairment

As of December 31, 2019, the Company's assets held for sale consisted of the net assets of its remaining international operations outside of North America. In connection with the reclassification of the assets held for sale, an impairment analysis was performed and an impairment charge of approximately $4.0 million was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2019. In April 2020, the Company closed on the sale which was comprised of six locations and realized a loss on the sale of $2.8 million that was recorded in "Other income (expense), net" in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company's assets held for sale consisted of the net assets of two locations. The operations have been actively marketed for sale and management expects the sale to be completed in the next 12 months. In connection with the reclassification of the assets held for sale, an impairment analysis was performed and an impairment charge of approximately $1.5 million was recorded at June 30, 2020.

During June 2020, the Company recorded a right-of-use ("ROU") asset impairment charge of $1.7 million related to two leased locations that were closed during the second quarter of 2019. See Note 6, "Leases" for additional information on the restructuring charges taken in the prior year related to the closures.

During March 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $6.3 million on a long-term receivable balance related to a previous joint venture, the remaining balances of $4.0 million and $8.7 million are included in "Other current assets" and "Other long-term assets," respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Note 6—Leases

The Company leases real estate, office equipment and service vehicles. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of up to 15 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 20 years. The Company has included the initial lease term and, in the case where there are options to extend, will include the option to extend if it has determined that it is reasonably certain that the Company would exercise those options.

The Company also leases certain equipment that it rents to its customers where the payments vary based upon the amount of time the equipment is on rent. There are no fixed payments on these leases and, therefore, no lease liability or ROU assets have been recorded. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The components of lease expense consist of the following (in millions):

		Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

In response to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's operations, the Company engaged in negotiations with its landlords regarding rent concessions. The Company has received a rent abatement on certain properties ranging from one to three months and has elected to recognize these concessions as a variable credit to rent expense in accordance with the relief issued by the FASB titled ASC Topic 842 and ASC Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Company has also received a rent abatement in exchange for an extension of the term of the lease on other properties and the Company has accounted for these arrangements as lease modifications.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a plan of restructuring with respect to certain branches in Canada. As part of the plan, certain of its leased locations were closed and the Company recorded a ROU asset impairment of$4.8 million. Additionally, the Company recorded related leasehold improvement impairments of $0.7 million and severance charges of $2.3 million.

Senior Notes

On July 9, 2019, the Company issued $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of its 5.50% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes"). Interest on the 2027 Notes accrues at the rate of 5.50% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15. The 2027 Notes will mature on July 15, 2027.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility

In September 2018, the Company entered into an accounts receivable securitization facility (the "AR Facility") with aggregate commitments of $175 million that matures on September 16, 2020. In connection with the AR Facility, Herc and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries sell their accounts receivables on an ongoing basis to Herc Receivables U.S. LLC, a wholly-owned special-purpose entity (the "SPE"). The SPE's sole business consists of the purchase by the SPE of accounts receivable from Herc and the Herc subsidiary seller and borrowing by the SPE against the eligible accounts receivable from the lenders under the facility. The borrowings are secured by liens on the accounts receivable and other assets of the SPE. Collections on the accounts receivable are used to service the borrowings. The SPE is a separate legal entity that is consolidated in the Company's financial statements. The SPE assets are owned by the SPE and are not available to settle the obligations of the Company or any of its other subsidiaries. Herc is the servicer of the accounts receivable under the AR Facility. All of the obligations of the Herc subsidiary seller and the servicer and certain indemnification obligations of the SPE under the agreements governing the AR Facility are guaranteed by Herc pursuant to a performance guarantee. The AR Facility is excluded from current maturities of long-term debt as the Company has the intent and ability to consummate refinancing and extend the term of the agreement.

Other Borrowings

The Company's former subsidiary in China had uncommitted credit agreements for up to an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million. Interest accrued on the loans drawn under these facilities at an applicable loan prime rate plus 0.535% published by National Interbank Funding Center and was payable quarterly. In conjunction with the sale of the Company's subsidiary in China in April 2020, the credit agreement was terminated and no borrowings were outstanding at June 30, 2020.

Borrowing Capacity and Availability

After outstanding borrowings, the following was available to the Company under the ABL Credit Facility and AR Facility as of June 30, 2020 (in millions):

	Remaining Capacity		Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation
ABL Credit Facility	$	1,147.4	$	1,147.4
AR Facility	45.0		13.4
Total	$	1,192.4	$	1,160.8

Letters of Credit

As of June 30, 2020, $25.6 million of standby letters of credit were issued and outstanding, none of which have been drawn upon. The ABL Credit Facility had $224.4 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.

Note 8—Financing Obligations

In October 2017, Herc consummated a sale-leaseback transaction pursuant to which it sold 42 of its properties located in the U.S. for gross proceeds of approximately $119.5 million, and during the fourth quarter of 2018, entered into sale-leaseback transactions with respect to two additional properties for gross proceeds of $6.4 million. Herc entered into a master lease agreement pursuant to which it has continued operations at those properties as a tenant. The triple net lease agreement has an initial term of 20 years, subject to extension, at Herc's option, for up to five additional periods of five years each. The sale of the properties did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting due to continuing involvement with the properties. Therefore, the book value of the buildings and land remains on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

During March 2019, Herc entered into a sale-leaseback transaction for certain service vehicles that did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting, therefore the book value of the vehicles remains on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Gross proceeds from the sale-leaseback transaction were $4.7 million.

Legal Proceedings

In re Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Securities Litigation - In November 2013, a putative shareholder class action, Pedro Ramirez, Jr. v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., et al., was commenced in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey naming Hertz Holdings and certain of its officers as defendants and alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The complaint alleged that Hertz Holdings made material misrepresentations and/or omission of material fact in its public disclosures during the period from February 25, 2013 through November 4, 2013, in violation of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint sought unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the purported class and an award of costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees. In June 2014, Hertz Holdings moved to dismiss the amended complaint. In October 2014, the court granted Hertz Holdings’ motion to dismiss without prejudice, allowing the plaintiff to amend the complaint a second time. In November 2014, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint which shortened the putative class period and made allegations that were not substantively very different than the allegations in the prior complaint. In early 2015, Hertz Holdings moved to dismiss the second amended complaint. In July 2015, the court granted Hertz Holdings’ motion to dismiss without prejudice, allowing plaintiff to file a third amended complaint. In August 2015, plaintiff filed a third amended complaint which included additional allegations, named additional then-current and former officers as defendants and expanded the putative class period to extend from February 14, 2013 to July 16, 2015. In November 2015, Hertz Holdings moved to dismiss the third amended complaint. The plaintiff then sought leave to add a new plaintiff because of challenges to the standing of the first plaintiff. The court granted plaintiff leave to file a fourth amended complaint to add the new plaintiff, and the new complaint was filed on March 1, 2016. Hertz Holdings and the individual defendants moved to dismiss the fourth amended complaint with prejudice on March 24, 2016. In April 2017, the court granted Hertz Holdings' and the individual defendants' motions to dismiss and dismissed the action with prejudice. In May 2017, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal and, in June 2018, oral argument was conducted before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In September 2018, the court affirmed the dismissal of the action with prejudice. On February 5, 2019, plaintiff filed a motion to set aside the judgment against it, and for leave to file a fifth amended complaint.  The proposed amended complaint would add allegations related to New Hertz’s December 31, 2018 settlement with the SEC that, among other things, ordered New Hertz to cease and desist from violating certain of the federal securities laws and imposed a civil penalty of $16.0 million.  On February 26, 2019, New Hertz filed an opposition to plaintiff’s motion for relief from judgment and leave to file a fifth amended complaint. On March 8, 2019, plaintiff filed a reply in support of that motion. On September 30, 2019, the court denied plaintiff’s motion for relief from judgment and leave to file a fifth amended complaint. On October 30, 2019, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and appellate briefing was completed in March 2020.

In addition, the Company is subject to a number of claims and proceedings that generally arise in the ordinary conduct of its business. These matters include, but are not limited to, claims arising from the operation of rented equipment and workers' compensation claims. The Company does not believe that the liabilities arising from such ordinary course claims and proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company has established reserves for matters where the Company believes the losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For matters where a reserve has not been established, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the individual litigated matters. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings could be decided unfavorably to the Company or any of its subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

Indemnification Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, the Company executes contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business or assets or a financial transaction.

Unaudited

These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: accuracy of representations; compliance with covenants and agreements by the Company or third parties; environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations; employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; condition of assets; and financial or other matters. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. The Company regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and has accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. The types of indemnification obligations for which payments are possible include the following:

        The Spin-Off

In connection with the Spin-Off, pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, the Company has assumed the liability for, and control of, all pending and threatened legal matters related to its equipment rental business and related assets, as well as assumed or retained liabilities, and will indemnify New Hertz for any liability arising out of or resulting from such assumed legal matters. The separation and distribution agreement also provides for certain liabilities to be shared by the parties. The Company is responsible for a portion of these shared liabilities (typically 15%), as set forth in that agreement. New Hertz is responsible for managing the settlement or other disposition of such shared liabilities. Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify New Hertz for any resulting taxes and related losses if the Company takes or fails to take any action (or permits any of its affiliates to take or fail to take any action) that causes the Spin-Off and related transactions to be taxable, or if there is an acquisition of the equity securities or assets of the Company or of any member of the Company’s group that causes the Spin-Off and related transactions to be taxable.

        Environmental

The Company has indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which the Company may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable expenses that the Company expects to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those expenses are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities, including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheets in "Accrued liabilities" was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including on-going maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the sites. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which the Company ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as the Company's connection to the site, the materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

Guarantee

The Company has guaranteed an outstanding bank loan in connection with a previous joint venture. The Company has determined the maximum potential payment amount under the guarantee is approximately $5.8 million; however, the probability of any payment is remote and therefore the Company has not recorded a liability on its balance sheet as of June 30, 2020. The bank loan is collateralized by the rental equipment and other assets of the joint venture entity and has maturities through 2023.

Note 12—Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximates the carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents, when held, primarily consist of money market accounts which are classified as Level 1 assets which the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines the fair value of cash equivalents using a market approach based on quoted prices in active markets. The Company had $50.0 million of cash equivalents at June 30, 2020 and no cash equivalents at December 31, 2019.

Debt Obligations

The fair values of the Company's ABL Credit Facility, AR Facility, finance lease liabilities and other borrowings approximated their book values as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The fair value of the Company's 2027 Notes are estimated based on quoted market rates as well as borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities (Level 2 inputs) (in millions).

Note 14—Related Party Transactions

Agreements with Carl C. Icahn

The Company is subject to the Nomination and Standstill Agreement, dated September 15, 2014 (the "Nomination and Standstill Agreement"), with Carl C. Icahn and certain related entities and individuals. In connection with their appointments or nomination, as applicable, to the Company’s board of directors (the "Board"), each of Jonathan Frates, Nicholas F. Graziano and Andrew N. Langham (collectively, the "Icahn Designees," and, together with Carl C. Icahn and the other parties to the Nomination and Standstill Agreements, the "Icahn Group") executed a Joinder Agreement agreeing to become bound as a party to the terms and conditions of the Nomination and Standstill Agreement (such Joinder Agreements, together with the Nomination and Standstill Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the "Icahn Agreements").

Pursuant to the Icahn Agreements, the Icahn Designees were appointed or nominated to the Company’s Board. Pursuant to the Icahn Agreements, so long as an Icahn Designee is a member of the Board, the Board will not be expanded beyond its current size without approval from the Icahn Designees then on the Board. In addition, pursuant to the Icahn Agreements, subject to certain restrictions and requirements, the Icahn Group will have certain replacement rights in the event an Icahn Designee resigns or is otherwise unable to serve as a director (other than as a result of not being nominated by the Company for an annual meeting).

In addition, until the date that no Icahn Designee is a member of the Board (or otherwise deemed to be on the Board pursuant to the terms of the Icahn Agreements), the Icahn Group agrees to vote all of its shares of the Company’s common stock in favor of the election of all of the Company’s director nominees at each annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, and, subject to limited exceptions, the Icahn Group further agrees to (i) adhere to certain standstill obligations, including the obligation to not solicit proxies or consents or influence others with respect to the same, and (ii) not acquire or otherwise beneficially own more than 20% of the Company’s outstanding voting securities.

Pursuant to the Icahn Agreements, the Company will not create a separate executive committee of the Board so as long as an Icahn Designee is a member of the Board.  Under the Icahn Agreements, if the Icahn Group ceases to hold a “net long position,” as defined in the Nomination and Standstill Agreement, in at least 1,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, the Icahn Group will cause one Icahn Designee to resign from the Board; if the Icahn Group’s holdings are further reduced to specified levels, additional Icahn Designees are required to resign.

In addition, pursuant to the Icahn Agreements, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, effective June 30, 2016 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), with certain entities related to Carl C. Icahn on behalf of any person who is a member of the "Icahn group" (as such term is defined therein) who owns applicable securities at the relevant time and is or has become a party to the Registration Rights Agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement provides for customary demand and piggyback registration rights and obligations.

Note 15—Arrangements with New Hertz

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into a separation and distribution agreement (the "Separation Agreement") with New Hertz. In connection therewith, the Company also entered into various other ancillary agreements with New Hertz to effect the Spin-Off and provide a framework for its relationship with New Hertz. The following summarizes some of the most significant agreements and relationships that Herc Holdings continues to have with New Hertz.

Separation and Distribution Agreement

The Separation Agreement sets forth the Company's agreements with New Hertz regarding the principal actions taken in connection with the Spin-Off. It also sets forth other agreements that govern aspects of the Company's relationship with New Hertz following the Spin-Off including (i) the manner in which legal matters and claims are allocated and certain liabilities are shared between the Company and New Hertz; (ii) other matters including transfers of assets and liabilities, treatment or termination of intercompany arrangements and releases of certain claims between the parties and their affiliates; (iii) mutual indemnification clauses; and (iv) allocation of Spin-Off expenses between the parties.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, which include additional information about our accounting policies, practices and the transactions underlying our financial results. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes including receivables allowances, depreciation of rental equipment, the recoverability of long-lived assets, useful lives and impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets including goodwill and trade name, pension and postretirement benefits, valuation of stock-based compensation, reserves for litigation and other contingencies, accounting for income taxes and other matters arising during the normal course of business. We apply our best judgment, our knowledge of existing facts and circumstances and our knowledge of actions that we may undertake in the future in determining the estimates that will affect our condensed consolidated financial statements. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis using our historical experience, as well as other factors we believe appropriate under the circumstances, such as current economic conditions, and adjust or revise our estimates as circumstances change. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may differ from these estimates.

OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

We are engaged principally in the business of renting equipment. Ancillary to our principal business of equipment rental, we also sell used rental equipment, sell new equipment and consumables and offer certain services and support to our customers. Our profitability is dependent upon a number of factors including the volume, mix and pricing of rental transactions and the utilization of equipment. Significant changes in the purchase price or residual values of equipment or interest rates can have a significant effect on our profitability depending on our ability to adjust pricing for these changes. Our business requires significant expenditures for equipment, and consequently we require substantial liquidity to finance such expenditures. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

Our revenues primarily are derived from rental and related charges and consist of:

•Equipment rental (includes all revenue associated with the rental of equipment including ancillary revenue from delivery, rental protection programs and fueling charges);

•Sales of rental equipment and sales of new equipment, parts and supplies; and

•Service and other revenue (primarily relating to training and labor provided to customers).

Our expenses primarily consist of:

•Direct operating expenses (primarily wages and related benefits, facility costs and other costs relating to the operation and rental of rental equipment, such as delivery, maintenance and fuel costs);

•Cost of sales of rental equipment, new equipment, parts and supplies;

•Depreciation expense relating to rental equipment;

•Selling, general and administrative expenses; and

•Interest expense.

Impacts of COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in China and has since spread globally. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. Federal, state and local efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 intensified in March 2020 when most states in the United States, including Florida where we are headquartered, enacted shelter in place orders, declared states of emergency, took steps to restrict travel, enacted temporary closures of non-essential businesses and took other restrictive measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our business was deemed essential and was allowed to remain open, however, many industries in which our customers operate were required to temporarily close their facilities or delay or cancel projects and events. We have reduced our capital spending in the short-

term and, where possible, we are also reducing operating expenses while ensuring ongoing safe and reliable operations. Additionally, as the timing of the removal of these measures and the residual economic impact of the pandemic remains unclear, we estimate that we will experience a year-over-year decrease in volume of fleet on rent of approximately 8% to 13% and this reduction in volume is likely to have a negative impact on our equipment rental revenue of approximately 10% to 15% during the second half of 2020. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as state and local governments are re-opening businesses in multiple phases and, in certain jurisdictions, reversing re-opening decisions. Therefore, we cannot predict the extent to which our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will ultimately be impacted.

We remain focused on the safety and well-being of our employees, customers and communities as we maintain a high-level of service to our customers. We continue to communicate frequently throughout the organization to reinforce our health and safety guidelines, based on the Center for Disease Control recommendations. Within our operations, a number of adjustments have been made to minimize physical interactions. These include utilizing our information technology platforms to accommodate as many employees as possible to work remotely from their homes. At the operations level, we have implemented new policies to expand the washing of equipment and sanitization of high-touch areas such as dashboards and steering wheels. We have reduced access to or closed our customer showrooms and have implemented curb-side pick-up and drop-off of equipment at our branches requiring customers and vendors to call before they visit. We are supplying personal protective equipment for those employees who interact with customers and employed remediation companies to assist in cleaning branches where necessary.

Seasonality

Our business is usually seasonal, with demand for our rental equipment tending to be lower in the winter months, particularly in the northern United States and Canada. Our equipment rental business, especially in the construction industry, has historically experienced decreased levels of business from December until late spring and heightened activity during our third and fourth quarters until December. We have the ability to manage certain costs to meet market demand, such as fleet capacity, the most significant portion of our cost structure. For instance, to accommodate increased demand, we increase our available fleet and staff during the second and third quarters of the year. A number of our other major operating costs vary directly with revenues or transaction volumes; however, certain operating expenses, including rent, insurance and administrative overhead, remain fixed and cannot be adjusted for seasonal demand, typically resulting in higher profitability in periods when our revenues are higher, and lower profitability in periods when our revenues are lower. To reduce the impact of seasonality, we are focused on expanding our customer base through specialty products that serve different industries with less seasonality and different business cycles.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

Equipment rental revenue decreased $80.0 million, or 19.6%, during the second quarter of 2020 when compared to the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower volume (including re-rent and delivery revenue) primarily related to the impact of the regulatory orders addressing COVID-19 ("COVID-19 Orders") as customers we serve that were not designated essential businesses were closed throughout a significant portion of the quarter. Additionally, pricing declined 0.3% during the second quarter of 2020.

Sales of rental equipment decreased $19.9 million, or 38.8%, during the second quarter of 2020 when compared to the second quarter of 2019. During the second quarter of 2020, the volume of sales declined due to COVID-19 related impact to sales channels and decreased demand for used rental equipment. We expect continued reductions in the volume of sales for the remainder of 2020. The corresponding cost of sales of rental equipment as a percentage of the related revenue was 94.3% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 97.5% in the second quarter of 2019. The increase in margin on sale of rental equipment in the second quarter of 2020 was primarily due to a lower proportion of sales through the lower-margin auction channel.

Sales of new equipment, parts and supplies decreased $6.2 million, or 47.0%, during the second quarter of 2020 when compared to the second quarter of 2019, driven by the impact of the COVID-19 Orders. The cost of sales of new equipment, parts and supplies as a percentage of the related revenue was 72.9% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 78.8% for the second quarter of 2019. The increase in margin was attributable to the mix of equipment sold.

Direct operating expenses in the second quarter of 2020 decreased $43.8 million, or 23.2%, when compared to the second quarter of 2019, however, within direct operating expenses were the following fluctuations:

•Fleet and related expenses decreased $27.1 million as a result of (i) a decrease in delivery and freight expenses of $9.7 million due to the decrease in deliveries related to the impact of the COVID-19 Orders and better management of transportation costs; (ii) a decrease in maintenance expense of $6.0 million as more rental equipment was idle during the second quarter of 2020; (iii) a decrease in re-rent expense of $5.0 million due to the decrease in re-rent revenue and

25

HERC HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

(iv) a decrease in fuel expense of $4.9 million due to the decrease in volume of equipment on rent and a decrease in the price of fuel.

•Personnel-related expenses decreased $16.2 million primarily due to a reduction in wages related to furloughs implemented during the second quarter of 2020 and limitations on overtime in response to reduced volume due to the COVID-19 Orders.

•Other direct operating costs decreased $0.5 million primarily due to decreased field facilities expense resulting from rent abatements received from landlords during the quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $16.7 million, or 22.7%, in the second quarter of 2020 when compared to the second quarter of 2019. The decline was primarily due to decreases in selling expense of $4.0 million, travel expense of $3.7 million and various other expenses due to cost containment measures management has taken primarily due to the decreased volume associated with the COVID-19 Orders.

Restructuring expense was $0.7 million during the second quarter of 2020 related to personnel reductions and additional costs related to a prior restructuring plan. Restructuring expense was $7.8 million during the second quarter of 2019 as a result of our plan of restructuring in Canada, which included right-of-use ("ROU") assets and related leasehold improvement impairment of $5.5 million and severance charges of $2.3 million.

Impairment expense was $3.2 million during the second quarter of 2020, including $1.5 million related to certain assets that were deemed held for sale at June 30, 2020, and $1.7 million related to an ROU asset impairment charge for two previously closed locations.

Interest expense, net decreased $8.3 million, or 26.0%, during the three months ended June 30, 2020 when compared with the same period in 2019 primarily due to the lower interest rates on our 2027 Notes and lower average outstanding balances on our ABL Credit Facility.

Income tax benefit was $1.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 when compared with a provision of $5.3 million for the same period in 2019. The benefit in the second quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by the level of pre-tax income, offset by non-deductible expenses, stock-based compensation, valuation allowances recorded on losses generated by certain foreign loss jurisdictions, IRS audit adjustments and related refunds from foreign jurisdictions.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

Equipment rental revenue decreased $71.1 million, or 9.1%, during the first half of 2020 when compared to the first half of 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower volume (including re-rent and delivery revenue) primarily related to the impact of the COVID-19 Orders as customers we serve that were not designated essential businesses were closed throughout a significant portion of the second quarter of 2020. The decrease was partially offset by pricing increases of 1.1% during the first half of 2020.

Sales of rental equipment decreased $65.0 million, or 47.7%, during the first half of 2020 when compared to the first half of 2019. During the first half of 2020, the volume of sales declined due to COVID-19 related impact to sales channels and decreased demand for used rental equipment. We expect continued reductions in the volume of sales for the remainder of 2020. The corresponding cost of sales of rental equipment as a percentage of the related revenue was 100.8% in the first half of 2020 compared to 97.9% in the first half of 2019. The reduction in margin on sale of rental equipment in the first half of 2020 was primarily due to a higher proportion of sales through the lower-margin auction channel during the first quarter of 2020.

Sales of new equipment, parts and supplies decreased $10.1 million, or 41.9%, during the first half of 2020 when compared to the first half of 2019, driven by the impact of the COVID-19 Orders. The cost of sales of new equipment, parts and supplies as a percentage of the related revenue was 72.9% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 77.2% for the second quarter of 2019. The increase in margin was attributable to the mix of equipment sold.

•Fleet and related expenses decreased $33.8 million as a result of (i) a decrease in delivery and freight expenses of $17.1 million due to the decrease in deliveries related to the impact of the COVID-19 Orders and better management of transportation costs; (ii) a decrease in maintenance expense of $7.9 million as more rental equipment was idle during the second quarter of 2020; (iii) a decrease in re-rent of $4.7 million due to the decrease in re-rent revenue and (iv) a decrease in fuel expense of $3.9 million due to the decrease in volume of equipment on rent and a decrease in the price of fuel.

•Personnel-related expenses decreased $12.4 million primarily due to a reduction in wages related to furloughs implemented during the second quarter of 2020 and a limitations on overtime in response to reduced volume due to the COVID-19 Orders.

•Other direct operating costs increased $2.5 million primarily due to increased field facilities expenses of $1.0 million related to new branches that were opened during the second half of 2019 and increases due to recurring lease renewals on existing locations, partially offset by rent abatements received from landlords during the quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $18.4 million, or 12.7%, in the first half of 2020 when compared to the first half of 2019. The decline was primarily due to decreases in selling expense of $3.7 million, travel expense of $3.7 million, professional fees of $3.5 million and commissions and incentives of $3.2 million due to cost containment measures management has taken primarily due to the decreased volume associated with the COVID-19 Orders.

Restructuring expense was $0.7 million during the first half of 2020 related to personnel reductions and additional costs related to a prior restructuring plan. Restructuring expense was $7.8 million during the first half of 2019 as a result of our plan of restructuring in Canada which included right-of-use assets and related leasehold improvement impairment of $5.5 million and severance charges of $2.3 million.

Impairment expense was $9.5 million during the first half of 2020 and consisted of $6.3 million related to the partial impairment of a long-term receivable related to the sale of our former joint venture, $1.7 million related to an ROU asset impairment charge for two previously closed locations and $1.5 million related to certain assets that were deemed held for sale at June 30, 2020.

Interest expense, net decreased $16.8 million, or 26.3%, during the first half of 2020 when compared with the same period in 2019 primarily due to the lower interest rates on our 2027 Notes and lower average outstanding balances on our ABL Credit Facility.

Income tax benefit was $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 when compared with a provision of $2.2 million for the same period in 2019. The benefit in the first half of 2020 was primarily driven by the level of pre-tax loss, non-deductible expenses, stock-based compensation, valuation allowances recorded on losses generated by certain foreign loss jurisdictions, IRS audit adjustments and related refunds from foreign jurisdictions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary liquidity needs include the payment of operating expenses, purchases of rental equipment to be used in our operations and servicing of debt. Our primary sources of funding are operating cash flows, cash received from the disposal of equipment and borrowings under our debt arrangements. As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $2.0 billion of total nominal indebtedness outstanding. A substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service on our indebtedness and from the funding of our costs of operations and capital expenditures.

Our liquidity as of June 30, 2020 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $83.2 million and unused commitments of $1.2 billion under our ABL Credit Facility and AR Facility. See "Borrowing Capacity and Availability" below for further discussion. Our practice is to maintain sufficient liquidity through cash from operations, our ABL Credit Facility and our AR Facility to mitigate the impacts of any adverse financial market conditions on our operations. Based on the impacts of

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

COVID-19, we expect to reduce our net rental equipment expenditures to approximately half of our 2019 levels to effectively manage our fleet and liquidity. Notwithstanding the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that cash generated from operations and cash received from the disposal of equipment, together with amounts available under the ABL Credit Facility and the AR Facility or other financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated reduced capital expenditures, and other strategic uses of cash, if any, and debt payments, if any, over the next twelve months.

Cash Flows

Significant factors driving our liquidity position include cash flows generated from operating activities and capital expenditures. Historically, we have generated and expect to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations. Our ability to fund our capital needs will be affected by our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and access to capital markets.

The following table summarizes the change in cash and cash equivalents for the periods shown (in millions):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		$ Change
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	280.4	$	272.6	$	7.8
Investing activities	(101.6)		(147.9)		46.3
Financing activities	(128.7)		(125.0)		(3.7)
Effect of exchange rate changes	0.1		0.4		(0.3)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	50.2	$	0.1	$	50.1

Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we generated $7.8 million more cash from operating activities compared with the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily related to improved collections on accounts receivable, partially offset by timing of payments on accounts payable during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities decreased $46.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 when compared with the prior-year period. Our primary use of cash in investing activities is for the acquisition of rental equipment and non-rental capital expenditures, which we reduced during the first half of 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Generally, we rotate our equipment and manage our fleet of rental equipment in line with customer demand and continue to invest in our information technology, service vehicles and facilities. Changes in our net capital expenditures are described in more detail in the "Capital Expenditures" section below.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities increased $3.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 when compared with the prior-year period. Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily represents our changes in debt, which included net repayments of $119.7 million on our revolving lines of credit and securitization during the six months of 2020. Net repayments in the prior year period were $121.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sale-leaseback transaction in the first quarter of 2019 of $4.7 million.

In order to reduce future cash interest payments, as well as future amounts due at maturity or upon redemption, we may from time to time repurchase our debt, including our notes, bonds, loans or other indebtedness, in privately negotiated, open market or other transactions and upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine. We will evaluate any such transactions in light of then-existing market conditions, taking into account our current liquidity and prospects for future access to capital.  The repurchases may be material and could relate to a substantial proportion of a particular class or series, which could reduce the trading liquidity of such class or series.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures relate largely to purchases of rental equipment, with the remaining portion representing purchases of property, equipment and information technology. The table below sets forth the capital expenditures related to our rental equipment and related disposals for the periods noted (in millions).

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019
Rental equipment expenditures	$	161.5	$	257.1
Disposals of rental equipment	(67.9)		(123.7)
Net rental equipment expenditures	$	93.6	$	133.4

Net capital expenditures for rental equipment decreased $39.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. During the first half of 2020, we reduced rental equipment expenditures and disposals to effectively manage our fleet and liquidity in light of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. We also reduced disposals during the first half of 2020 in response to improvements over the past year in the mix and age of equipment as part of our long-term capital expenditure plans. We expect to continue reductions in our net rental equipment expenditures for the remainder of 2020.

Borrowing Capacity and Availability

Our ABL Credit Facility and AR Facility (together, the "Facilities") provide our borrowing capacity and availability. Creditors under the Facilities have a claim on specific pools of assets as collateral as identified in each credit agreement. Our ability to borrow under the Facilities is a function of, among other things, the value of the assets in the relevant collateral pool. We refer to the amount of debt we can borrow given a certain pool of assets as the "Borrowing Base."

The accounts receivable and other assets of the SPE are encumbered in favor of the lenders under our AR Facility. The SPE assets are owned by the SPE and are not available to settle the obligations of the Company or any of its other subsidiaries. Substantially all of the remaining assets of Herc and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our ABL Credit Facility. None of such assets are available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors. See Note 10, "Debt" to the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and Note 7, "Debt" included in Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" of this Report for more information.

With respect to the Facilities, we refer to "Remaining Capacity" as the maximum principal amount of debt permitted to be outstanding under the Facilities (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow assuming we possessed sufficient assets as collateral) less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under the Facility. We refer to "Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation" as the lower of Remaining Capacity or the Borrowing Base less the principal amount of debt then-outstanding under the Facility (i.e., the amount of debt we could borrow given the collateral we possess at such time).

As of June 30, 2020, the following was available to us (in millions):

	Remaining Capacity		Availability Under Borrowing Base Limitation
ABL Credit Facility	$	1,147.4	$	1,147.4
AR Facility	45.0		13.4
Total	$	1,192.4	$	1,160.8

As of June 30, 2020, $25.6 million of standby letters of credit were issued and outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility, none of which have been drawn upon. The ABL Credit Facility had $224.4 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Covenants

Our ABL Credit Facility, our AR Facility and our 2027 Notes contain a number of covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur guarantee obligations, prepay certain indebtedness, make certain restricted payments (including paying dividends, redeeming stock or making other distributions), create liens, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers, fundamentally change the nature of our business, make capital expenditures, or engage in certain transactions with certain affiliates.

Under the terms of our ABL Credit Facility, our AR Facility and our 2027 Notes, we are not subject to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the ABL Credit Facility, failure to maintain certain levels of liquidity will subject us to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended. As of June 30, 2020, the appropriate levels of liquidity have been maintained, therefore this financial maintenance covenant is not applicable.

Additional information on the terms of our 2027 Notes, ABL Credit Facility and AR Facility is included in Note 10, "Debt" to the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. For a discussion of the risks associated with our indebtedness, see Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Dividends

Our payment of dividends on our common stock will be determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion and will depend on our business conditions, financial condition, earnings, liquidity and capital requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts available to pay cash dividends are restricted by our debt agreements. As of the date of this Report, we have no plans to pay dividends on our common stock.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

As of June 30, 2020, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to our known contractual obligations as set forth in the Contractual Obligations table included in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET COMMITMENTS AND ARRANGEMENTS

As of June 30, 2020, there have been no material changes to our indemnification obligations as disclosed in Note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. For further information, see the discussion on indemnification obligations included in Note 11, "Commitments and Contingencies" in Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" of this Report.

ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates (including credit spreads), foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in fuel prices. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and have not been used for speculative or trading purposes. In addition, derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial institutions in order to manage our exposure to counterparty nonperformance on such instruments.

As of June 30, 2020, there has been no material change in the information reported under Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our senior management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For a description of certain pending legal proceedings see Note 11, "Commitments and Contingencies" to the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" of this Report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to our risk factors from those previously disclosed under Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis that results in economic and trade disruptions could negatively impact our business and the businesses of our customers. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified and the virus continues to spread globally. COVID-19 has spread throughout the world, including the United States, and the World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Many jurisdictions have implemented orders to slow and limit the transmission of the virus. These orders have limited or prohibited certain economic activity, including, in some jurisdictions, the shutdown of construction activity.

COVID-19 has caused many of our customers to delay or cancel projects and events, leading to a decrease in demand for our rental equipment and services, possible deterioration in our customers’ financial condition and their inability to timely pay outstanding receivables owed to us. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related restrictions on economic activity, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. An extended period of economic disruption could materially affect our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity, particularly our cash flow from operations, and financial condition.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Share Repurchase Program

In March 2014, Hertz Holdings announced a $1.0 billion share repurchase program (the "Share Repurchase Program"), which replaced an earlier program. The Share Repurchase Program permits us, as the successor to Hertz Holdings, to purchase shares through a variety of methods, including in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws. We are not obligated to make any repurchases at any specific time or in any specific amount. The timing and extent to which we repurchase shares will depend upon, among other things, market conditions, share price, liquidity targets, contractual restrictions and other factors. Share repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time or from time to time, subject to legal and contractual requirements, without prior notice. There were no share repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the approximate dollar value that remains available for share purchases under the Share Repurchase Program is $395.9 million.

The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through subsidiaries, including Herc Rentals Inc. ("Herc"). With over 50 years of experience, the Company is a full-line equipment rental supplier offering a broad portfolio of equipment for rent. In addition to its principal business of equipment rental, the Company sells used equipment and contractor supplies such as construction consumables, tools, small equipment and safety supplies; provides repair, maintenance, equipment management services and safety training to certain of its customers; offers equipment re-rental services and provides on-site support to its customers; and provides ancillary services such as equipment transport, rental protection, cleaning, refueling and labor.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Basis of Presentation

The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, however, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for complete annual financial statements and, accordingly, certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2020.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include receivables allowances, depreciation of rental equipment, the recoverability of long-lived assets, useful lives and impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets including goodwill and trade name, pension and postretirement benefits, valuation of stock-based compensation, reserves for litigation and other contingencies and accounting for income taxes, among others.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Herc Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In the event that the Company is a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the variable interest entity are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for investments in joint ventures using the equity method when it has significant influence but not control and is not the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Impacts of COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in China and has since spread globally. In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. Federal, state and local efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 intensified in March 2020 when most states in the United States, including Florida where the Company is headquartered, enacted shelter in place orders, declared states of emergency, took steps to restrict travel, enacted temporary closures of non-essential businesses and took other restrictive measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company's business was deemed essential and was allowed to remain open, however, many industries in which its customers operate were required to temporarily close their facilities or delay or cancel projects and events. The Company has reduced its capital spending in the short-term and, where possible, and is also reducing operating expenses while ensuring ongoing safe and reliable operations. Additionally, as the timing of the removal of these measures and the residual economic impact of the pandemic remains unclear, the Company is currently experiencing a year-over-year decrease in volume of fleet on rent and this reduction in volume is likely to have a negative impact on equipment rental revenue. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as state and local governments are re-opening businesses in multiple phases and, in certain jurisdictions, reversing re-opening decisions. Therefore, we cannot predict the extent to which our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will ultimately be impacted.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

Fair Value Measurement

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance that modifies disclosure requirements on fair value measurements, removing and modifying certain disclosures, while adding other disclosures. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new guidance on its effective date and it did not have a material impact on its financial statement disclosures.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires companies to present assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities net of the amount expected to be collected. The guidance requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. Different components of the guidance require modified retrospective or prospective adoption. This guidance does not apply to receivables arising from operating leases and, as discussed in Note 3, "Revenue Recognition," most of the Company's equipment rental revenue is accounted for as lease revenue under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, Leases, ("Topic 842"). The Company adopted this guidance on its effective date and there was no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes. The guidance removes the following exceptions: (i) exceptions to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, (ii) exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment, (iii) exception to the ability not to

recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary and (iv) exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. Additionally, the guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by: (i) requiring that an entity recognize a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax, (ii) requiring that an entity evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be considered a separate transaction, (iii) specifying that an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements (although the entity may elect to do so (on an entity-by-entity basis) for a legal entity that is both not subject to tax and disregarded by the taxing authority), (iv) requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date and (v) making minor improvements for income tax accounting related to employee stock ownership plans and investments in qualified affordable housing projects accounted for using the equity method.  The Company early adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 and there was no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Not Yet Adopted

Compensation - Retirement Benefits

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that adds, removes, and modifies disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans in order to improve the disclosure effectiveness. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt the new and modified disclosures requirements of this new guidance on its effective date.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue from Contract with Customer

Revenue Recognition

The Company is principally engaged in the business of renting equipment. Ancillary to the Company’s principal equipment rental business, the Company also sells used rental equipment, new equipment and parts and supplies and offers certain services to support its customers. The Company operates in North America with revenue from the United States representing approximately 92.0% and 90.9% of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 89.7% and 89.2% for the same periods in 2019.

The Company’s rental transactions are accounted for under Topic 842. The Company’s sale of rental and new equipment, parts and supplies along with certain services provided to customers are accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ("Topic 606"). The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.

The following tables summarizes the applicable accounting guidance for the Company’s revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in millions):

Topic 842 revenues

Equipment Rental Revenue

The Company offers a broad portfolio of equipment for rent on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, with most rental agreements cancelable upon the return of the equipment. Virtually all customer contracts can be canceled by the customer with no penalty by returning the equipment within one day; therefore, the Company does not allocate the transaction price between the different contract elements.

Equipment rental revenue includes revenue generated from renting equipment to customers and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the length of the rental contract. As part of this straight-line methodology, when the equipment is returned, the Company recognizes as incremental revenue the excess, if any, between the amount the customer is contractually required to pay, which is based on the rental contract period applicable to the actual number of days the equipment was out on rent, over the cumulative amount of revenue recognized to date. In any given accounting period, the Company will have customers return equipment and be contractually required to pay more than the cumulative amount of revenue recognized to date under the straight-line methodology. Also included in equipment rental revenue is re-rent revenue in which the Company will rent

specific pieces of equipment from vendors and then re-rent that equipment to its customers. Provisions for discounts, rebates to customers and other adjustments are provided for in the period the related revenue is recorded.

Other

Other equipment rental revenue is primarily comprised of fees for the Company’s rental protection program and environmental charges. Fees paid for the rental protection program allow customers to limit the risk of financial loss in the event the Company’s equipment is damaged or lost. Fees for the rental protection program and environmental recovery fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the length of the rental contract.

Topic 606 revenues

Delivery and pick-up

Delivery and pick-up revenue associated with renting equipment is recognized when the services are performed.

Sales of Rental Equipment, New Equipment, Parts and Supplies

The Company sells its used rental equipment, new equipment, parts and supplies. Revenues recorded for each category are as follows (in millions):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Sales of rental equipment	$	31.4	$	51.3	$	71.4	$	136.4
Sales of new equipment	3.1		6.7		6.1		11.2
Sales of parts and supplies	3.9		6.5		7.9		12.9
Total	$	38.4	$	64.5	$	85.4	$	160.5

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of rental equipment, new equipment, parts and supplies when control of the asset transfers to the customer, which is typically when the asset is picked up by or delivered to the customer and when significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer. Sales and other tax amounts collected from customers and remitted to government authorities are accounted for on a net basis and, therefore, excluded from revenue.

The Company routinely sells its used rental equipment in order to manage repair and maintenance costs, as well as the composition, age and size of its fleet. The Company disposes of used equipment through a variety of channels including retail sales to customers and other third parties, sales to wholesalers, brokered sales and auctions.

The Company also sells new equipment, parts and supplies. The types of new equipment that the Company sells vary by location and include a variety of ProContractor tools and supplies, small equipment (such as work lighting, generators, pumps, compaction equipment and power trowels), safety supplies and expendables.

Under Topic 606, the accounts receivable balance, prior to allowances for doubtful accounts, for the sale of rental equipment, new equipment, parts and supplies, was approximately $13.2 million and $15.6 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Service and other revenues

Service and other revenues primarily include revenue earned from equipment management and similar services for rental customers which includes providing customer support functions such as dedicated in-plant operations, plant management services, equipment and safety training, and repair and maintenance services particularly to industrial customers who request such services.

The Company recognizes revenue for service and other revenues as the services are provided. Service and other revenues are typically invoiced together with a customer’s rental amounts and, therefore, it is not practical for the Company to separate the accounts receivable amount related to services and other revenues that are accounted for under Topic 606; however, such amount is not considered material.

Receivables and contract assets and liabilities

Most of the Company's equipment rental revenue is accounted for under Topic 842. The customers that are responsible for the remaining equipment rental revenue that is accounted for under Topic 606 are generally the same customers that rent the Company's equipment. Concentration of credit risk with respect to the Company's accounts receivable is limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers makes up its customer base. The Company manages credit risk associated with its accounts receivable at the customer level through credit approvals, credit limits and other monitoring procedures. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts that reflect the Company's estimate of the amount of receivables that the Company will be unable to collect based on its historical write-off experience.

The Company does not have material contract assets or contract liabilities associated with customer contracts. The Company's contracts with customers do not generally result in material amounts billed to customers in excess of recognizable revenue. The Company did not recognize material revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 that was included in the contract liability balance as of the beginning of each such period.

Performance obligations

Most of the Company's revenue recognized under Topic 606 is recognized at a point-in-time, rather than over time. Accordingly, in any particular period, the Company does not generally recognize a significant amount of revenue from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods, and the amount of such revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was not material. We also do not expect to recognize material revenue in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of June 30, 2020.

Contract estimates and judgments

The Company's revenues accounted for under Topic 606 generally do not require significant estimates or judgments, primarily for the following reasons:

•The transaction price is generally fixed and stated on the Company's contracts;

•As noted above, the Company's contracts generally do not include multiple performance obligations, and accordingly do not generally require estimates of the standalone selling price for each performance obligation;

•The Company's revenues do not include material amounts of variable consideration; and

•Most of the Company's revenue is recognized as of a point-in-time and the timing of the satisfaction of the applicable performance obligations is readily determinable. As noted above, the revenue recognized under Topic 606 is generally recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer.

The Company monitors and reviews its estimated standalone selling prices on a regular basis.

Leases of Lessee Disclosure

Leases

The Company leases real estate, office equipment and service vehicles. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of up to 15 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 20 years. The Company has included the initial lease term and, in the case where there are options to extend, will include the option to extend if it has determined that it is reasonably certain that the Company would exercise those options.

The Company also leases certain equipment that it rents to its customers where the payments vary based upon the amount of time the equipment is on rent. There are no fixed payments on these leases and, therefore, no lease liability or ROU assets have been recorded. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The components of lease expense consist of the following (in millions):

(b) Depreciation and amortization is included with selling, general and administrative expense.

In response to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's operations, the Company engaged in negotiations with its landlords regarding rent concessions. The Company has received a rent abatement on certain properties ranging from one to three months and has elected to recognize these concessions as a variable credit to rent expense in accordance with the relief issued by the FASB titled ASC Topic 842 and ASC Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Company has also received a rent abatement in exchange for an extension of the term of the lease on other properties and the Company has accounted for these arrangements as lease modifications.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company entered into a plan of restructuring with respect to certain branches in Canada. As part of the plan, certain of its leased locations were closed and the Company recorded a ROU asset impairment of$4.8 million. Additionally, the Company recorded related leasehold improvement impairments of $0.7 million and severance charges of $2.3 million. See Note 5, "Assets Held for Sale and Impairment " for information on additional impairment charges taken on the ROU assets related to these locations during the second quarter of 2020.

The effective interest rate for the fixed rate 2027 Notes (as defined below) includes the stated interest on the notes and the amortization of any debt issuance costs.

Senior Notes

On July 9, 2019, the Company issued $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of its 5.50% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes"). Interest on the 2027 Notes accrues at the rate of 5.50% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15. The 2027 Notes will mature on July 15, 2027. Additional information about the 2027 Notes is included in Note 10 to the Company's financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

ABL Credit Facility

On July 31, 2019, Herc Holdings, Herc and certain other subsidiaries of Herc Holdings entered into a credit agreement with respect to a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Credit Facility"). The ABL Credit Facility provides (subject to availability under a borrowing base) for aggregate maximum borrowings of up to $1,750 million under a revolving loan facility.  Up to $250 million of the revolving loan facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit, subject to certain conditions including issuing lender participation.  Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and limitations, the ABL Credit Facility allows for the addition of incremental revolving commitments and/or incremental term loans. The ABL Credit

Facility matures on July 31, 2024. Additional information about the ABL Credit Facility is included in Note 10 to the Company's financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility

In September 2018, the Company entered into an accounts receivable securitization facility (the "AR Facility") with aggregate commitments of $175 million that matures on September 16, 2020. In connection with the AR Facility, Herc and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries sell their accounts receivables on an ongoing basis to Herc Receivables U.S. LLC, a wholly-owned special-purpose entity (the "SPE"). The SPE's sole business consists of the purchase by the SPE of accounts receivable from Herc and the Herc subsidiary seller and borrowing by the SPE against the eligible accounts receivable from the lenders under the facility. The borrowings are secured by liens on the accounts receivable and other assets of the SPE. Collections on the accounts receivable are used to service the borrowings. The SPE is a separate legal entity that is consolidated in the Company's financial statements. The SPE assets are owned by the SPE and are not available to settle the obligations of the Company or any of its other subsidiaries. Herc is the servicer of the accounts receivable under the AR Facility. All of the obligations of the Herc subsidiary seller and the servicer and certain indemnification obligations of the SPE under the agreements governing the AR Facility are guaranteed by Herc pursuant to a performance guarantee. The AR Facility is excluded from current maturities of long-term debt as the Company has the intent and ability to consummate refinancing and extend the term of the agreement.

Other Borrowings

The Company's former subsidiary in China had uncommitted credit agreements for up to an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million. Interest accrued on the loans drawn under these facilities at an applicable loan prime rate plus 0.535% published by National Interbank Funding Center and was payable quarterly. In conjunction with the sale of the Company's subsidiary in China in April 2020, the credit agreement was terminated and no borrowings were outstanding at June 30, 2020.

In October 2017, Herc consummated a sale-leaseback transaction pursuant to which it sold 42 of its properties located in the U.S. for gross proceeds of approximately $119.5 million, and during the fourth quarter of 2018, entered into sale-leaseback transactions with respect to two additional properties for gross proceeds of $6.4 million. Herc entered into a master lease agreement pursuant to which it has continued operations at those properties as a tenant. The triple net lease agreement has an initial term of 20 years, subject to extension, at Herc's option, for up to five additional periods of five years each. The sale of the properties did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting due to continuing involvement with the properties. Therefore, the book value of the buildings and land remains on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

During March 2019, Herc entered into a sale-leaseback transaction for certain service vehicles that did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting, therefore the book value of the vehicles remains on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Gross proceeds from the sale-leaseback transaction were $4.7 million.

Legal Proceedings

In re Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Securities Litigation - In November 2013, a putative shareholder class action, Pedro Ramirez, Jr. v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., et al., was commenced in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey naming Hertz Holdings and certain of its officers as defendants and alleging violations of the federal securities laws. The complaint alleged that Hertz Holdings made material misrepresentations and/or omission of material fact in its public disclosures during the period from February 25, 2013 through November 4, 2013, in violation of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The complaint sought unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the purported class and an award of costs and expenses, including counsel fees and expert fees. In June 2014, Hertz Holdings moved to dismiss the amended complaint. In October 2014, the court granted Hertz Holdings’ motion to dismiss without prejudice, allowing the plaintiff to amend the complaint a second time. In November 2014, plaintiff filed a second amended complaint which shortened the putative class period and made allegations that were not substantively very different than the allegations in the prior complaint. In early 2015, Hertz Holdings moved to dismiss the second amended complaint. In July 2015, the court granted Hertz Holdings’ motion to dismiss without prejudice, allowing plaintiff to file a third amended complaint. In August 2015, plaintiff filed a third amended complaint which included additional allegations, named additional then-current and former officers as defendants and expanded the putative class period to extend from February 14, 2013 to July 16, 2015. In November 2015, Hertz Holdings moved to dismiss the third amended complaint. The plaintiff then sought leave to add a new plaintiff because of challenges to the standing of the first plaintiff. The court granted plaintiff leave to file a fourth amended complaint to add the new plaintiff, and the new complaint was filed on March 1, 2016. Hertz Holdings and the individual defendants moved to dismiss the fourth amended complaint with prejudice on March 24, 2016. In April 2017, the court granted Hertz Holdings' and the individual defendants' motions to dismiss and dismissed the action with prejudice. In May 2017, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal and, in June 2018, oral argument was conducted before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In September 2018, the court affirmed the dismissal of the action with prejudice. On February 5, 2019, plaintiff filed a motion to set aside the judgment against it, and for leave to file a fifth amended complaint.  The proposed amended complaint would add allegations related to New Hertz’s December 31, 2018 settlement with the SEC that, among other things, ordered New Hertz to cease and desist from violating certain of the federal securities laws and imposed a civil penalty of $16.0 million.  On February 26, 2019, New Hertz filed an opposition to plaintiff’s motion for relief from judgment and leave to file a fifth amended complaint. On March 8, 2019, plaintiff filed a reply in support of that motion. On September 30, 2019, the court denied plaintiff’s motion for relief from judgment and leave to file a fifth amended complaint. On October 30, 2019, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and appellate briefing was completed in March 2020.

In addition, the Company is subject to a number of claims and proceedings that generally arise in the ordinary conduct of its business. These matters include, but are not limited to, claims arising from the operation of rented equipment and workers' compensation claims. The Company does not believe that the liabilities arising from such ordinary course claims and proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company has established reserves for matters where the Company believes the losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For matters where a reserve has not been established, the ultimate outcome or resolution cannot be predicted at this time, or the amount of ultimate loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the individual litigated matters. It is possible that certain of the actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings could be decided unfavorably to the Company or any of its subsidiaries involved. Accordingly, it is possible that an adverse outcome from such a proceeding could exceed the amount accrued in an amount that could be material to the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

Indemnification Obligations

In the ordinary course of business, the Company executes contracts involving indemnification obligations customary in the relevant industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business or assets or a financial transaction.

These indemnification obligations might include claims relating to the following: accuracy of representations; compliance with covenants and agreements by the Company or third parties; environmental matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations; employment-related matters; customer, supplier and other commercial contractual relationships; condition of assets; and financial or other matters. Performance under these indemnification obligations would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. The Company regularly evaluates the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnification obligations and has accrued for expected losses that are probable and estimable. The types of indemnification obligations for which payments are possible include the following:

        The Spin-Off

In connection with the Spin-Off, pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, the Company has assumed the liability for, and control of, all pending and threatened legal matters related to its equipment rental business and related assets, as well as assumed or retained liabilities, and will indemnify New Hertz for any liability arising out of or resulting from such assumed legal matters. The separation and distribution agreement also provides for certain liabilities to be shared by the parties. The Company is responsible for a portion of these shared liabilities (typically 15%), as set forth in that agreement. New Hertz is responsible for managing the settlement or other disposition of such shared liabilities. Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify New Hertz for any resulting taxes and related losses if the Company takes or fails to take any action (or permits any of its affiliates to take or fail to take any action) that causes the Spin-Off and related transactions to be taxable, or if there is an acquisition of the equity securities or assets of the Company or of any member of the Company’s group that causes the Spin-Off and related transactions to be taxable.

        Environmental

The Company has indemnified various parties for the costs associated with remediating numerous hazardous substance storage, recycling or disposal sites in many states and, in some instances, for natural resource damages. The amount of any such expenses or related natural resource damages for which the Company may be held responsible could be substantial. The probable expenses that the Company expects to incur for such matters have been accrued, and those expenses are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate amounts accrued for environmental liabilities, including liability for environmental indemnities, reflected in the Company's consolidated balance sheets in "Accrued liabilities" was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The accrual generally represents the estimated cost to study potential environmental issues at sites deemed to require investigation or clean-up activities, and the estimated cost to implement remediation actions, including on-going maintenance, as required. Cost estimates are developed by site. Initial cost estimates are based on historical experience at similar sites and are refined over time on the basis of in-depth studies of the sites. For many sites, the remediation costs and other damages for which the Company ultimately may be responsible cannot be reasonably estimated because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as the Company's connection to the site, the materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions, and the nature and scope of investigations, studies, and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration, and success of remediation).

Guarantee

The Company has guaranteed an outstanding bank loan in connection with a previous joint venture. The Company has determined the maximum potential payment amount under the guarantee is approximately $5.8 million; however, the probability of any payment is remote and therefore the Company has not recorded a liability on its balance sheet as of June 30, 2020. The bank loan is collateralized by the rental equipment and other assets of the joint venture entity and has maturities through 2023.

The fair value of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, to the extent the underlying liability will be settled in cash, approximates the carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents, when held, primarily consist of money market accounts which are classified as Level 1 assets which the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines the fair value of cash equivalents using a market approach based on quoted prices in active markets. The Company had $50.0 million of cash equivalents at June 30, 2020 and no cash equivalents at December 31, 2019.

Debt Obligations

The fair values of the Company's ABL Credit Facility, AR Facility, finance lease liabilities and other borrowings approximated their book values as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The fair value of the Company's 2027 Notes are estimated based on quoted market rates as well as borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities (Level 2 inputs) (in millions).

Earnings Per Share

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (in millions, except per share data).

The Company is subject to the Nomination and Standstill Agreement, dated September 15, 2014 (the "Nomination and Standstill Agreement"), with Carl C. Icahn and certain related entities and individuals. In connection with their appointments or nomination, as applicable, to the Company’s board of directors (the "Board"), each of Jonathan Frates, Nicholas F. Graziano and Andrew N. Langham (collectively, the "Icahn Designees," and, together with Carl C. Icahn and the other parties to the Nomination and Standstill Agreements, the "Icahn Group") executed a Joinder Agreement agreeing to become bound as a party to the terms and conditions of the Nomination and Standstill Agreement (such Joinder Agreements, together with the Nomination and Standstill Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the "Icahn Agreements").

Pursuant to the Icahn Agreements, the Icahn Designees were appointed or nominated to the Company’s Board. Pursuant to the Icahn Agreements, so long as an Icahn Designee is a member of the Board, the Board will not be expanded beyond its current size without approval from the Icahn Designees then on the Board. In addition, pursuant to the Icahn Agreements, subject to certain restrictions and requirements, the Icahn Group will have certain replacement rights in the event an Icahn Designee resigns or is otherwise unable to serve as a director (other than as a result of not being nominated by the Company for an annual meeting).

In addition, until the date that no Icahn Designee is a member of the Board (or otherwise deemed to be on the Board pursuant to the terms of the Icahn Agreements), the Icahn Group agrees to vote all of its shares of the Company’s common stock in favor of the election of all of the Company’s director nominees at each annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, and, subject to limited exceptions, the Icahn Group further agrees to (i) adhere to certain standstill obligations, including the obligation to not solicit proxies or consents or influence others with respect to the same, and (ii) not acquire or otherwise beneficially own more than 20% of the Company’s outstanding voting securities.

Pursuant to the Icahn Agreements, the Company will not create a separate executive committee of the Board so as long as an Icahn Designee is a member of the Board.  Under the Icahn Agreements, if the Icahn Group ceases to hold a “net long position,” as defined in the Nomination and Standstill Agreement, in at least 1,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, the Icahn Group will cause one Icahn Designee to resign from the Board; if the Icahn Group’s holdings are further reduced to specified levels, additional Icahn Designees are required to resign.

In addition, pursuant to the Icahn Agreements, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, effective June 30, 2016 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), with certain entities related to Carl C.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, however, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for complete annual financial statements and, accordingly, certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2020.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements include receivables allowances, depreciation of rental equipment, the recoverability of long-lived assets, useful lives and impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets including goodwill and trade name, pension and postretirement benefits, valuation of stock-based compensation, reserves for litigation and other contingencies and accounting for income taxes, among others.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of ConsolidationThe condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Herc Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In the event that the Company is a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the variable interest entity are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for investments in joint ventures using the equity method when it has significant influence but not control and is not the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

Fair Value Measurement

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance that modifies disclosure requirements on fair value measurements, removing and modifying certain disclosures, while adding other disclosures. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the new guidance on its effective date and it did not have a material impact on its financial statement disclosures.

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires companies to present assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities net of the amount expected to be collected. The guidance requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. Different components of the guidance require modified retrospective or prospective adoption. This guidance does not apply to receivables arising from operating leases and, as discussed in Note 3, "Revenue Recognition," most of the Company's equipment rental revenue is accounted for as lease revenue under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, Leases, ("Topic 842"). The Company adopted this guidance on its effective date and there was no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes. The guidance removes the following exceptions: (i) exceptions to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, (ii) exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment, (iii) exception to the ability not to

recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary and (iv) exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. Additionally, the guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by: (i) requiring that an entity recognize a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax, (ii) requiring that an entity evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be considered a separate transaction, (iii) specifying that an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements (although the entity may elect to do so (on an entity-by-entity basis) for a legal entity that is both not subject to tax and disregarded by the taxing authority), (iv) requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date and (v) making minor improvements for income tax accounting related to employee stock ownership plans and investments in qualified affordable housing projects accounted for using the equity method.  The Company early adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 and there was no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Not Yet Adopted

Compensation - Retirement Benefits

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that adds, removes, and modifies disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans in order to improve the disclosure effectiveness. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt the new and modified disclosures requirements of this new guidance on its effective date.
