Safe Harbor Statements
3NYSE: HRI
Basis of Presentation
The financial information included in this presentation is based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company which are presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). These financial statements and financial information represent
only those operations, assets, liabilities and equity that form Herc Holdings Inc. on a stand-alone basis. Since the spin-off occurred on June 30, 2016, prior period
amounts represent carve-out financial results.
Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains statements, including those related to 2017 guidance, that are not statements of historical fact, but instead are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, which speak only as
of the date hereof. 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:
• Risks related to material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the restatement of financial statements previously issued by Hertz Global
Holdings, Inc. (in its form prior to the spin-off, “Hertz Holdings”), including that: we have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting that may adversely affect our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations in a timely and accurate manner, which may adversely affect
investor and lender confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our common stock and our ability to obtain future financing on acceptable terms, and we may
identify additional material weaknesses as we continue to assess our processes and controls as a stand-alone company with lower levels of materiality; such
material weaknesses could result in a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected; we receive certain
transition services from Hertz Rental Car Holding Company, Inc. (“New Hertz”) pursuant to the transition services agreement covering information technology (“IT”)
services and other areas, which impact our control environment and, therefore, our internal control over financial reporting; we continue to expend significant costs
and devote management time and attention and other resources to matters related to our internal control over financial reporting and our material weaknesses and
Hertz Holdings' restatement could adversely affect our ability to execute our strategic plan; our efforts to design and implement an effective control environment
may not be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses or prevent future material weaknesses; our material weaknesses and Hertz Holdings' restatement
could expose us to additional risks that could materially adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, including as a result of events of
default under the agreements governing our indebtedness and/or government investigations, regulatory inquiries and private actions; we may experience difficulties
implementing new IT systems, including the migration of systems from New Hertz; we could experience disruptions to our control environment in connection with
the relocation of our Shared Services Center, including as a result of the failure to retain key employees who possess specific knowledge or expertise necessary for
the timely preparation of our financial statements; and Hertz Holdings' restatement has resulted in government investigations, books and records demands, and
private litigation and could result in government enforcement actions and private litigation that could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations,
financial condition, liquidity and cash flows;

Safe Harbor Statements - Continued
4NYSE: HRI
• Risks related to the spin-off, which effected our separation from New Hertz, such as: we have limited operating history as a stand-alone public company, and our
historical financial information for periods prior to July 1, 2016, is not necessarily representative of the results that we would have achieved as a separate, publicly
traded company, and may not be a reliable indicator of our future results; the liabilities we have assumed and will share with New Hertz in connection with the spin-
off could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations; if there is a determination that any portion of the spin-off
transaction is taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including for reasons outside of our control, then we and our stockholders could incur significant tax
liabilities, and we could also incur indemnification liability if we are determined to have caused the spin-off to become taxable; if New Hertz fails to pay its tax
liabilities under the tax matters agreement or to perform its obligations under the separation and distribution agreement, we could incur significant tax and other
liability; our ability to engage in financings, acquisitions and other strategic transactions using equity securities is limited due to the tax treatment of the spin-off; the
loss of the Hertz brand and reputation could materially adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers; the spin-off may be challenged by creditors as a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance; and if the spin-off is not a legal dividend, it could be held invalid by a court and have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations;
• Business risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity, including:
o the cyclicality of our business, a slowdown in economic conditions or adverse changes in the economic factors specific to the industries in which we operate,
in particular industrial and construction;
o the dependence of our business on the levels of capital investment and maintenance expenditures by our customers, which in turn are affected by numerous
factors, including the level of economic activity in their industries, the state of domestic and global economies, global energy demand, the cyclical nature of their
markets, expectations regarding government spending on infrastructure improvements or expansions, their liquidity and the condition of global credit and capital
markets;
o we may experience difficulties, delay and/or significant costs from a number of IT systems projects, including the migration of our financial system from the
New Hertz system to a stand-alone system and the movement of our point of sale system from the New Hertz system to our own, each of which will continue
to require significant investment of human and financial resources;
o we may have difficulty obtaining the resources that we need to operate, or our costs to do so could increase significantly;
o intense competition in the industry, including from our own suppliers, that may lead to downward pricing or an inability to increase prices;
o any occurrence that disrupts rental activity during our peak periods given the seasonality of the business, especially in the construction industry;
o doing business in foreign countries exposes us to additional risks, including under laws and regulations that may conflict with U.S. laws and those under
anticorruption, competition, economic sanctions and anti-boycott regulations;
o our success as an independent company will depend on our new senior management team, the ability of other new employees to learn their new roles, and
our ability to attract and retain key management and other key personnel;
o some or all of our deferred tax assets could expire if we experience an “ownership change” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code;
o changes in the legal and regulatory environment that affect our operations, including with respect to taxes, consumer rights, privacy, data security and
employment matters, could disrupt our business and increase our expenses;
o an impairment of our goodwill or our indefinite lived intangible assets could have a material non-cash adverse impact;
© 2017 Herc Rentals Inc.
Safe Harbor Statements - Continued
5NYSE: HRI
o other operational risks such as: any decline in our relations with our key national account customers or the amount of equipment they rent from us; our
equipment rental fleet is subject to residual value risk upon disposition, and may not sell at the prices we expect; we may be unable to protect our trade secrets
and other intellectual property rights; we may fail to respond adequately to changes in technology and customer demands; our business is heavily reliant upon
communications networks and centralized IT systems and the concentration of our systems creates or increases risks for us, including the risk of the misuse or
theft of information we possess, including as a result of cyber security breaches or otherwise, which could harm our brand, reputation or competitive position
and give rise to material liabilities; failure to maintain, upgrade and consolidate our IT networks could materially adversely affect us; we may face issues with our
union employees; we are exposed to a variety of claims and losses arising from our operations, and our insurance may not cover all or any portion of such
claims; environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and the costs of complying with them, or any change to them impacting our customers’markets
could materially adversely affect us; decreases in government spending could materially adversely affect us and a lack of or delay in additional infrastructure
spending may have a material adverse effect on our share price; maintenance and repair costs associated with our equipment rental fleet could materially
adversely affect us; and strategic acquisitions could be difficult to identify and implement and could disrupt our business or change our business profile
significantly;
• Risks related to our substantial indebtedness, such as: our substantial level of indebtedness exposes us or makes us more vulnerable to a number of risks that
could materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to compete; the secured nature of our indebtedness,
which is secured by substantially all of our consolidated assets, could materially adversely affect our business and holders of our debt and equity; an increase in
interest rates or in our borrowing margin would increase the cost of servicing our debt and could reduce our profitability; and any additional debt we incur could
further exacerbate these risks;
• Risks related to the securities market and ownership of our stock, including that: the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly; the market
price of our common stock could decline as a result of the sale or distribution of a large number of our shares or the perception that a sale or distribution could
occur and these factors could make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future stock offerings; and provisions of our governing documents could
discourage potential acquisition proposals and could deter or prevent a change in control; and
• Other risks and uncertainties set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, under Item 1A "Risk Factors" and in our other
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by such cautionary statements. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any
update or revision to any of the forward-looking statements.

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results calculated according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has provided certain
information in this presentation which is not calculated according to GAAP (“non-GAAP”), such as adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. Management uses
these non-GAAP measures to evaluate operating performance and period-over-period performance of our core business without regard to potential distortions,
and believes that investors will likewise find these non-GAAP measures useful in evaluating the Company’s performance. These measures are frequently used
by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. For the definitions of these terms, further information about management’s use of these
measures as well as a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the Appendix to this
presentation.

3 Herc Holdings does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial measures on a GAAP basis or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP
financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP reported financial measures on a forward-looking basis because it is unable to predict certain items
contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. Certain items that impact net income (loss) cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty,
such as restructuring and restructuring related charges, special tax items, borrowing levels (which affect interest expense), gains and losses from asset sales,
the ultimate outcome of pending litigation and spin-related costs.

1 Herc Holdings does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial measures on a GAAP basis or a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable GAAP reported financial measures on a forward-looking basis because it is unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. Certain items that
impact net income (loss) cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty, such as restructuring and restructuring related charges, special tax items, borrowing levels (which affect interest expense), gains and
losses from asset sales, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation and spin-related costs.

1 OEC: Original Equipment Cost which is an operating measure based on the guidelines of the American Rental
Association, which is calculated as the cost of the asset at the time it was first purchased plus additional capitalized
refurbishment costs (with the basis of refurbished assets reset at the refurbishment date).
2
Fleet Age: The OEC weighted age of the entire fleet.
Net Fleet Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures of revenue earning equipment minus the proceeds from
disposal of revenue earning equipment.
3
Dollar Utilization ($ Ute): Dollar utilization is an operating measure calculated by dividing rental revenue by the
average OEC of the equipment fleet for the relevant time period.
4
Pricing: Change in pure pricing achieved in one period versus another period. This is applied both to year-over-year
and sequential comparisons. Rental rates are calculated based on the category class rate variance achieved either
year-over-year or sequentially for any fleet that qualifies for the fleet base and weighted by the prior year revenue mix.
5
FUR: Fleet unavailable for rent.

Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Further, since all companies do not use identical calculations, our definition and presentation of
these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA - EBITDA represents the sum of net income (loss), provision for
income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation of revenue earning equipment and non-rental
depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus the sum of merger and
acquisition related costs, restructuring and restructuring related charges, spin-off costs, non-cash
stock based compensation charges, loss on extinguishment of debt (which is included in interest
expense, net), impairment charges, gain on disposal of a business and certain other items.
Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance and period-over-
period performance of our core business without regard to potential distortions, and believes that
investors will likewise find these non- GAAP measures useful in evaluating the Company’s
performance. These measures are frequently used by security analysts, institutional investors and
other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. However, EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA do not purport to be alternatives to net earnings as an indicator of operating performance.
Additionally, neither measure purports to be an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a
measure of liquidity, as they do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments and
tax payments.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is not a recognized term under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or
as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, since all
companies do not use identical calculations, our definition and presentation of this measure may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Free cash flow represents net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less revenue
earning equipment expenditures, proceeds from disposal of revenue earning equipment, property
and equipment expenditures, proceeds from disposal of property and equipment and other
investing activities. Free cash flow is used by management in analyzing the Company’s ability to
service and repay its debt and to forecast future periods. However, this measure does not
represent funds available for investment or other discretionary uses since it does not deduct cash
used to service debt or for other non-discretionary expenditures.
