NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise indicated)
1.
1. Organization, Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
United Rentals, Inc. (“Holdings,” “URI” or the “Company”) is principally a holding company and conducts its operations primarily through its wholly owned subsidiary, United Rentals (North America), Inc. (“URNA”), and subsidiaries of URNA. Holdings’ primary asset is its sole ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of URNA. URNA’s various credit agreements and debt instruments place restrictions on its ability to transfer funds to its shareholder.
We rent equipment to a diverse customer base that includes construction and industrial companies, manufacturers, utilities, municipalities, homeowners and government entitiesentities. We primarily operate in the United States and Canada.Canada, and have a limited presence in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to renting equipment, we sell new and used rental equipment, as well as related contractor supplies, parts and service.
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting policies described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162022 (the “2016“2022 Form 10-K”) and the interim reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 20162022 Form 10-K.
In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition, operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Leases. In March 2016, the Financial2. Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance ("Topic 842") to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring i) recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and ii) disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. Some changes to the lessor accounting guidance were made to align both of the following: i) the lessor accounting guidance with certain changes made to the lessee accounting guidance and ii) key aspects of the lessor accounting model with revenue recognition guidance. Topic 842 will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective approach is required for adoption for all leases that exist at or commence after the date of initial application with an option to use certain practical expedients. We expect to adopt this guidance when effective.
As discussed below, most of our equipment rental revenues, which accounted for 86 percent of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, will be accounted for under the current lease accounting standard ("Topic 840") until the adoption of Topic 842. While our review of the equipment rental revenue accounting under Topic 842 is ongoing, we have tentatively concluded that no significant changes are expected to the accounting for most of our equipment rental revenues upon adoption of Topic 842.
Under Topic 842, our operating leases, which include both real estate and non-rental equipment, will result in lease assets and lease liabilities being recognized on the balance sheet. We lease a significant portion of our branch locations, and also lease other premises used for purposes such as district and regional offices and service centers. We expect that the quantification of the amount of the lease assets and lease liabilities that we will recognize on our balance sheet will take a significant amount of time given the size of our lease portfolio. While our review of the lessee accounting requirements of Topic 842 is ongoing, we believe that the impact on our balance sheet, while not currently estimable, will be significant.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, and in subsequent updates, the FASB issued guidance ("Topic 606") to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. This guidance includes the required steps to achieve the core principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption (for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016) is permitted. We expect to adopt this guidance when effective.
Upon adoption of Topic 606, we will recognize revenue in accordance with two different accounting standards: 1) Topic 606 (which addresses revenue from contracts with customers) and 2) Topic 840.842 (which addresses lease revenue). Under Topic 606, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account under Topic 606. As discussed above, we expect to adopt Topic 842, an update to Topic 840, when it becomes effective, on January 1, 2019. While our reviewreflected below, most of our revenue accounting is ongoing, we expect that most of our equipment rental revenues, which accounted for 86 percent of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, will be accounted for under
Topic 840 until the adoption of Topic 842, and that our non-equipment rental revenues will be accounted for under Topic 606. While our review of our non-equipment rental revenue accounting is ongoing, we842. Our contracts with customers generally do not believe that Topic 606 will haveinclude multiple performance obligations. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a significant impact on our financial statements.
We are also evaluatingperformance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the disclosure requirements of Topic 606, as well as its impact on our internal controls over financial reporting.
Statement of Cash Flows. In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance to reduce the diversity in the presentation of certain cash receipts and cash payments presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance addresses the following specific cash flow issues: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions received from equity method investees, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transitions and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of predominance principle. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires retrospective adoption. Wewe expect to adopt this guidance when effective,be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.
Nature of goods and do not expect the guidance to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that will require 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 will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Different components of the guidance require modified retrospective or prospective adoption. We are currently assessing whether we will early adopt, and the impact on our financial statements is not currently estimable.
Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance that will require companies to recognize the income tax effects of intra-entity sales and transfers of assets other than inventory in the period in which the transfer occurs. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires modified retrospective adoption. We expect to adopt this guidance when effective, and do not expect the guidance to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance intended to simplify the subsequent accounting for goodwill acquired in a business combination. Prior guidance required utilizing a two-step process to review goodwill for impairment. A second step was required if there was an indication that an impairment may exist, and the second step required calculating the potential impairment by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill (as if purchase accounting were performed on the testing date) with the carrying amount of the goodwill. The new guidance eliminates the second step from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and then recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value (although the loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit). The guidance requires prospective adoption and will be effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of this guidance is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We expect to adopt this guidance when effective, and do not expect it to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
Clarifying the Definition of a Business. In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of assisting entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is intended to make determining when a set of assets and activities is a business more consistent and cost-efficient. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted for transactions that occurred before the issuance date or effective date of the guidance if the transactions were not reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. We expect to adopt this guidance when effective. The impact of this guidance will depend on the nature of our activities after adoption, and fewer transactions may be treated as acquisitions (or disposals) of businesses after adoption.
Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance to provide clarity and reduce both the (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when changing the terms or conditions of share-based
payment awards. Under the updated guidance, a modification is defined as a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award, and an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all of the following are met:
1.The fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation techniques that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification.
2.The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.
3.The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.
This guidance requires prospective adoption and will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The majority of our modifications relate to the acceleration of vesting conditions and we would continue to be required to account for the effects of such modifications under the updated guidance. We expect to adopt this guidance when effective, and do not expect that this guidance will have a significant impact on our financial statements.
Derivatives and Hedging. In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance with the objective of improving the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. The guidance is additionally intended to simplify hedge accounting, and no longer requires separate measurement and reporting of hedge ineffectiveness. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing at the date of adoption, entities must apply a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is required prospectively. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing whether we will early adopt. Given our currently limited use of derivative instruments (see note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements), the guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
Guidance Adopted in 2017
Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. In the first quarter of 2017, we adopted guidance that simplified several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. We prospectively adopted the amendments in this guidance that relate to the classification of excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements on the statement of cash flows. The excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements result from stock-based compensation windfall deductions in excess of the amounts reported for financial reporting purposes. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized $8 of such excess tax benefits, and, pursuant to the adopted guidance, net income increased by $8, or $0.10 per diluted share, reflecting the tax reduction associated with the excess tax benefits. Prior periods have not been adjusted to reflect the new guidance related to the classification of the excess tax benefits, as we have elected to prospectively adopt such guidance. Accordingly, our statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflects $53 of such excess tax benefits within net cash used in financing activities. All of the excess tax benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 pertain to share based payments that vested prior to 2016, and, accordingly, would not have impacted net income under the new guidance.
Other significant components of the adopted guidance include:
The guidance requires that cash paid by an employer to a taxing authority when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. We have historically classified such payments as financing activities, so no retrospective change was required to our 2016 statement of cash flows.
Certain aspects of the guidance require a cumulative change to retained earnings upon adoption. Upon adopting this guidance, we elected to record forfeitures of share-based payments as they occur. Making such an election requires a cumulative change to retained earnings upon adoption. However, we historically adjusted estimated forfeitures to reflect actual forfeitures annually, as a result of which no change to retained earnings was required. In 2016, we utilized all of the prior federal excess tax benefits from share-based payments that vested through 2016, and, accordingly, no change to retained earnings was required associated with federal excess tax benefits from share-based payments. A $5 change to retained earnings was required associated with state excess tax benefits from share-based payments that were not previously recognized because the related tax deduction had not reduced taxes payable.

NES Acquisition
In April 2017, we completed the acquisitionRevenues by reportable segment are presented in note 4 of NES Rentals Holdings II, Inc. (“NES”). NES was a provider of rental equipment with 73 branches located throughout the eastern half of the U.S., and had approximately 1,100 employees and approximately $900 of rental assets at original equipment cost as of December 31, 2016. NES had annual revenues of approximately $369. The acquisition is expected to:
•Increase our density in strategically important markets, including the East Coast, Gulf States and the Midwest;
•Strengthen our relationships with local and strategic accounts in the construction and industrial sectors, which we expect will enhance cross-selling opportunities and drive revenue synergies; and
•Create meaningful opportunities for cost synergies in areas such as corporate overhead, operational efficiencies and purchasing.
The aggregate consideration paid to holders of NES common stock and options was approximately $960. The acquisition and related fees and expenses were funded through available cash, drawings on our senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL facility”) and new debt issuances. See note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, for additional detail onusing the debt issuances.

We believe that the disaggregation of our revenue from contracts to customers as reflected above, coupled with the further discussion below and the reportable segment disclosures in note 4, depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
Lease revenues (Topic 842)
The levelaccounting for the types of goodwillrevenue that resultedare accounted for under Topic 842 is discussed below.
Owned equipment rentals represent our most significant revenue type (they accounted for 69 percent of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023) and are governed by our standard rental contract. We account for such rentals as operating leases. The lease terms are included in our contracts, and the determination of whether our contracts contain leases generally does not require significant assumptions or judgments. Our lease revenues do not include material amounts of variable payments.
Owned equipment rentals: Owned equipment rentals represent revenues from renting equipment that we own. We do not generally provide an option for the acquisitionlessee to purchase the rented equipment at the end of the lease, and do not generate material revenue from sales of equipment under such options.
We recognize revenues from renting equipment on a straight-line basis. Our rental contract periods are hourly, daily, weekly or monthly. By way of example, if a customer were to rent a piece of equipment and the daily, weekly and monthly rental rates for that particular piece were (in actual dollars) $100, $300 and $900, respectively, we would recognize revenue of $32.14 per day. The daily rate for recognition purposes is primarily reflectivecalculated by dividing the monthly rate of NES's going-concern value,$900 by the valuemonthly term of NES's assembled workforce, new28 days. This daily rate assumes that the equipment will be on rent for the full 28 days, as we are unsure of when the customer will return the equipment and therefore unsure of which rental contract period will apply.
As part of this straight-line methodology, when the equipment is returned, we recognize 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, we will have customers return equipment and be contractually required to pay us more than the cumulative amount of revenue recognized to date under the straight-line methodology. For instance, continuing the above example, if the customer rented the above piece of equipment on December 29 and returned it at the close of business on January 1, we would recognize incremental revenue on January 1 of $171.44 (in actual dollars, representing the difference between the amount the customer is contractually required to pay, or $300 at the weekly rate, and the cumulative amount recognized to date on a straight-line basis, or $128.56, which represents four days at $32.14 per day).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise indicated)
We record amounts billed to customers in excess of recognizable revenue as deferred revenue on our balance sheet. We had deferred revenue (associated with both Topic 842 and Topic 606) of $129 and $131 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
As noted above, we are unsure of when the customer will return rented equipment. As such, we do not know how much the customer will owe us upon return of the equipment and cannot provide a maturity analysis of future lease payments. Our equipment is generally rented for short periods of time. Lessees do not provide residual value guarantees on rented equipment.
We expect to derive significant future benefits from our equipment following the end of the rental term. Our rentals are generally short-term in nature, and our equipment is typically rented for the majority of the time that we own it. We additionally recognize revenue from sales of rental equipment when we dispose of the equipment.
Re-rent revenue: Re-rent revenue reflects revenues from equipment that we rent from vendors and then rent to our customers. We account for such rentals as subleases. The accounting for re-rent revenue is the same as the accounting for owned equipment rentals described above.
“Other” equipment rental revenue is primarily comprised of 1) Rental Protection Plan (or "RPP") revenue associated with the damage waiver customers can purchase when they rent our equipment to protect against potential loss or damage, 2) environmental charges associated with the rental of equipment, 3) charges for rented equipment that is damaged by our customers and 4) charges for setup and other services performed on rented equipment.
Revenues from contracts with customers (Topic 606)
The accounting for the types of revenue that are accounted for under Topic 606 is discussed below. Substantially all of our revenues under Topic 606 are recognized at a point-in-time rather than over time.
Delivery and pick-up: Delivery and pick-up revenue associated with renting equipment is recognized when the service is performed.
“Other” equipment rental revenue is primarily comprised of revenues associated with the consumption of fuel by our customers which are recognized when the equipment is returned by the customer (and consumption, if any, can be measured).
Sales of rental equipment, new equipment and contractor supplies are recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer and when collectibility is probable.
Service and other revenues primarily represent revenues earned from providing repair and maintenance services on our customers’ fleet (including parts sales). Service revenue is recognized as the services are performed.

Receivables and contract assets and liabilities
As reflected above, most of our equipment rental revenue is accounted for under Topic 842 (such revenue represented 76 percent of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023). The customers that are responsible for the remaining revenue that is accounted for under Topic 606 are generally the same customers that rent our equipment. We manage credit risk associated with our accounts receivables at the customer level. Because the same customers generate the revenues that are accounted for under both Topic 606 and Topic 842, the discussions below on credit risk and our allowance for credit losses address receivables arising from revenues from both Topic 606 and Topic 842.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to our receivables is limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers makes up our customer base. Our largest customer accounted for less than one percent of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and for each of the last three full years. Our customer with the largest receivable balance represented approximately one percent of total receivables at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We manage credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and other monitoring procedures.
Our allowance for credit losses reflects our estimate of the amount of our receivables that we will be unable to collect based on historical write-off experience and, as applicable, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility. Our estimate could require change based on changing circumstances, including changes in the economy or in the particular circumstances of individual customers. Accordingly, we may be required to increase or decrease our allowance. Trade receivables that have contractual maturities of one year or less are written-off when they are determined to be uncollectible based on the criteria necessary to qualify as a deduction for federal tax purposes. Write-offs of such receivables require management approval based on specified dollar thresholds. See the table below for a rollforward of our allowance for credit losses.
The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility. Trade receivables are the only material financial asset we have that is subject to the requirement to measure expected credit losses as noted above, as this requirement does not apply to receivables arising from operating lease revenues. Substantially all of our non-lease trade receivables are due in one year or less. As discussed above, most of our equipment rental revenue is accounted for as lease revenue (such revenue represented 76 percent of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and these revenues account for corresponding portions of the $2.034 billion of net accounts receivable and the associated allowance for credit losses of $146 as of March 31, 2023).
As discussed above, most of our equipment rental revenue is accounted for under Topic 842. The customers that are responsible for the remaining revenue that is accounted for under Topic 606 are generally the same customers that rent our equipment. We manage credit risk associated with our accounts receivables at the customer level. The rollforward of our allowance for credit losses (in total, and associated with revenues arising from both Topic 606 and Topic 842) is shown below.

customers in excess of recognizable revenue. We did not recognize material revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023 or 2022 that was included in the contract liability balance as of the beginning of such periods.
Performance obligations
Most of our Topic 606 revenue is recognized at a point-in-time, rather than over time. Accordingly, in any particular period, we do not generally recognize a significant amount of revenue from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods, and the amounts of such revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were not material. We also do not expect to recognize material revenue in the future related to performance obligations that were unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of March 31, 2023.
Payment terms
Our Topic 606 revenues do not include material amounts of variable consideration. Our payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. Our contracts do not generally include a significant financing component. For certain products or services and customer types, we require payment before the products or services are delivered to the customer. Our contracts with customers do not generally result in significant obligations associated with returns, refunds or warranties. See above for a discussion of how we manage credit risk.
Revenue is recognized net of taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Contract costs
We do not recognize any assets associated with the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer (for example, a sales commission) that we expect to recover. Most of our revenue is recognized at a point-in-time or over a period of one year or less, and we use the practical expedient that allows us to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.
Contract estimates and judgments
Our 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 in our contracts;
•As noted above, our contracts generally do not include multiple performance obligations, and accordingly do not generally require estimates of the standalone selling price for each performance obligation;
•Our revenues do not include material amounts of variable consideration, or result in significant obligations associated with returns, refunds or warranties; and
•Most of our 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, our Topic 606 revenue is generally recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer.
Our revenues accounted for under Topic 842 also generally do not require significant estimates or judgments. We monitor and review our estimated standalone selling prices on a regular basis.

3. Acquisitions
On December 7, 2022, we completed the acquisition of assets of Ahern Rentals, Inc. ("Ahern Rentals"), which was accounted for as a business combination. Ahern Rentals was the eighth largest equipment rental company in North America and served customers primarily in the construction and industrial sectors across 30 states. The acquisition:
• Increased capacity in key geographies, with concentrations on both U.S. coasts and in the Gulf region;
• Increased availability of high-demand aerial and material handling equipment for our customers; and
• Created immediate cross-sell opportunities to an expanded customer base.
The aggregate consideration paid to acquire Ahern Rentals was $2.012 billion. The acquisition and related fees and expenses were funded through the issuance of $1.5 billion principal amount of 6 percent Senior Secured Notes and drawings on our senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL facility”).
The table below summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The initial accounting for the acquisition is incomplete, principally related to finalizing 1) the measurement of the acquired net working capital, 2) the valuation of the acquired rental equipment (inclusive of the completion of our usual and customary procedures to validate the existence of the acquired rental fleet) and intangible assets and 3) the associated income tax considerations. All amounts below could change, potentially materially, as there is significant additional information that we must obtain to finalize the valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, primarily because of the proximity of the acquisition date to the balance sheet date of March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized measurement period adjustments primarily to establish preliminary values for intangibles assets and lease assets and liabilities. These adjustments resulted in a substantial reduction to goodwill versus the previously reported amount (see note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of goodwill changes). Non-rental depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2023 includes $8 of intangible asset amortization that would have been recognized in 2022 if the intangible asset values had been preliminarily established as of December 31, 2022.

All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.purposes (because the acquisition is a purchase of assets, the goodwill that is deductible for income tax purposes equals the total acquired goodwill. As noted above, goodwill could change from the amount above).
The three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 include NES acquisition-related costs of $1 and $17, respectively, which are included in “Merger related costs” in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The merger related costs are comprised of financial and legal advisory fees. In addition to the acquisition-related costs reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of income, the debt issuance costs and the original issue premiums associated with the issuance of debt to partially fund the acquisition are reflected, net of amortization subsequent to the acquisition date, in long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See note 8 toAdditionally, in the condensed consolidated financial statements forfirst quarter of 2023, we initiated a restructuring program following the closing of the Ahern Rentals acquisition. For additional detailinformation on the debt issuances.restructuring charges, which generally involve the closure of a large number of branches over a short period of time, often in periods following a major acquisition, see "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Results of Operations-Other costs/(income)-restructuring charges" below.
Since the acquisition date, significant amounts of fleet have been moved between URI locations and the acquired NES locations, and itIt is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amounts of revenue and earnings of NESAhern Rentals since the acquisition date.

The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of our results of operations had the acquisition been completed on the above date, nor is it necessarily indicative of our future results. The pro forma information reflects Ahern Rentals’ historic revenue presented in accordance with our revenue mapping, does not reflect any cost savings from operating efficiencies or synergies that could result from the acquisition, and also does not reflect additional revenue opportunities following the acquisition. The pro forma information includes adjustments to record the acquired assets and liabilities of NESAhern Rentals at their respective fair values based on available information and to give effect to the financing for the acquisition and related transactions.acquisition. The pro forma adjustments reflected in the table below are subject to change as additional analysis is performed. The opening balance sheet values assigned topurchase price allocations for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary valuations and are subject to change as we obtain additional information during the acquisition measurement period. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired may impact our statements of income in future periods. We expect that the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be finalized in 2017.

Neff Acquisition
In August 2017, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with Neff, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire Neff in an all cash transaction. The merger closed on October 2, 2017. The aggregate consideration paid to complete the acquisition was approximately $1.3 billion. The merger and related fees and expenses were funded through available cash, drawings on current debt facilities and new debt issuances. See note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional detail on the debt issuances. Neff was a provider of earthmoving, material handling, aerial and other equipment, and had 69 branches located in 14 states, with a concentration in southern geographies. Neff had approximately 1,100 employees and approximately $860 of rental assets at original equipment cost as of September 30, 2017. Neff had annual revenues of approximately $413.

3.4. Segment Information
Our reportable segments are i) general rentals and ii) trench, powerspecialty. For general rentals, the divisions discussed below, which are our operating segments, are aggregated into the reportable segment. The specialty segment is a single division that is both an operating segment and pump. a reportable segment. We believe that the divisions that are aggregated into our reportable segments have similar economic characteristics, as each division is capital intensive, offers similar products to similar customers, uses similar methods to distribute its products, and is subject to similar competitive risks. The aggregation of our divisions also reflects the management structure that we use for making operating decisions and assessing performance. We evaluate segment performance primarily based on segment equipment rentals gross profit.
The general rentals segment includes the rental of i) general construction and industrial equipment, such as backhoes, skid-steer loaders, forklifts, earthmoving equipment and material handling equipment, ii) aerial work platforms, such as boom lifts and scissor lifts and iii) general tools and light equipment, such as pressure washers, water pumps and power tools. The general rentals segment reflects the aggregation of tenfour geographic regions—Gulf South, Industrial (which serves the geographic Gulf region and has a strong industrial presence), Mid-Atlantic, Mid-Central, Midwest,divisions—Central, Northeast, Pacific West, South, Southeast and Western Canada—West—and operates throughout the United States and Canada. We periodically review the size and geographic scope of our regions, and have occasionally reorganized the regions to create a more balanced and effective structure.
The trench, powerspecialty segment, which, as noted above, is a single division that is both an operating segment and pumpa reportable segment, includes the rental of specialty construction products such as i) trench safety equipment, such as trench shields, aluminum hydraulic shoring systems, slide rails, crossing plates, construction lasers and line testing equipment for underground work, ii) power and HVAC equipment, such as portable diesel generators, electrical distribution equipment, and temperature control equipment, and iii) pumpsfluid solutions equipment primarily used by municipalities, industrial plants,for fluid containment, transfer and mining, construction,treatment, and agribusiness customers.iv) mobile storage equipment and modular office space. The trench, power and pump segment is comprised of the following regions, each of which primarily rents the corresponding equipment type described above: (i) the Trench Safety region, (ii) the Power and HVAC region, and (iii) the Pump Solutions region. The trench, power and pumpspecialty segment’s customers include construction companies involved in infrastructure projects, municipalities and industrial companies. This segment primarily operates throughoutin the United States and Canada, and has a limited presence in Canada.
These segments align our external segment reporting with how management evaluatesEurope, Australia and allocates resources. We evaluate segment performance based on segment equipment rentals gross profit.New Zealand.

Restructuring Charges
Restructuring charges primarily include(1)Primarily reflects severance costs associated with headcount reductions, as well as branch closure charges which principally relate to continuing lease obligations at vacant facilities. We incur severance costs and branch closure charges inassociated with our restructuring programs. For additional information on the ordinary course of our business. We only include such costs that are partrestructuring charges, which generally involve the closure of a restructuring program as restructuring charges. Since the first such restructuring program was initiatedlarge number of branches over a short period of time, often in 2008, we have completed three restructuring programsperiods following a major acquisition, see "Management’s Discussion and have incurred total restructuring chargesAnalysis of $262.
Closed Restructuring Programs
We have three closed restructuring programs. The first was initiated in 2008 in recognitionFinancial Condition and Results of a challenging economic environment and was completed in 2011. The second was initiated following the April 30, 2012 acquisitionOperations-Results of RSC Holdings Inc. ("RSC"), and was completed in 2013. The third was initiated in the fourth quarter of 2015 in response to challenges in our operating environment. In particular, during 2015, we experienced volume and pricing pressure in our general rental business and our Pump Solutions region associated with upstream oil and gas customers. Additionally, our Lean initiatives did not fully generate the anticipated cost savings due to lower than expected growth. In 2016, we achieved the anticipated run rate savings from the Lean initiatives, and this restructuring program was completed in 2016.
NES/Neff/Project XL Restructuring Program
In the second quarter of 2017, we initiated a restructuring program following the closing of the NES acquisition discussed in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The restructuring program also includes actions undertaken associated with Project XL, which is a set of eight specific work streams focused on driving profitable growth through revenue opportunities and generating incremental profitability through cost savings across our business. Additionally, following the closing of the Neff acquisition that is discussed in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements on October 2, 2017, the restructuring program will include actions that we expect to undertake associated with the Neff acquisition. We expect

6. Derivatives
We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value, and recognize changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments based on the designation of the derivative. We are exposed to certain risks relating to our ongoing business operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the risks we managed using derivative instruments were diesel price risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. At September 30, 2017, we had outstanding fixed price swap contracts on diesel purchases which were entered into to mitigate the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of diesel. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we entered into forward contracts to purchase Canadian dollars to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with certain Canadian dollar denominated intercompany loans. There were no outstanding forward contracts to purchase Canadian dollars at September 30, 2017.
Fixed Price Diesel Swaps
The fixed price swap contracts on diesel purchases that were outstanding at September 30, 2017 were designated and qualify as cash flow hedges and the effective portion of the gain or loss on these contracts is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings (i.e., when the hedged gallons of diesel are used). The remaining gain or loss on the fixed price swap contracts in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item, if any (i.e., the ineffective portion), is recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of income during the current period. As of September 30, 2017, we had outstanding fixed price swap contracts covering 2.7 million gallons of diesel which will be purchased throughout 2017 and 2018.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The forward contracts to purchase Canadian dollars, which were all settled as of September 30, 2017, represented derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments and gains or losses due to changes in the fair value of the forward contracts were recognized in our consolidated statements of income during the period in which the changes in fair value

occurred. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, forward contracts were used to purchase $326 and $728 Canadian dollars, respectively, representing the total amount due at maturity for certain Canadian dollar denominated intercompany loans that were settled during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Upon maturity, the proceeds from the forward contracts were used to pay down the Canadian dollar denominated intercompany loans.
Financial Statement Presentation

7.7. Fair Value Measurements
We account for certainAs of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amounts of our assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value. We categorize each of our fairvalue were immaterial.
Fair value measurements are categorized in one of the following three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety:
Level 1- Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2- Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities include:
| |
a) | quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; |
| |
b) | quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; |
| |
c) | inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; |
| |
d) | inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
a)quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
b)quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
c)inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
d)inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3- Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity) and significant to the fair value measure.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our only assets and liabilities measured at fair value were our fixed price diesel swaps contracts, which are Level 2 derivatives measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, immaterial amounts ($1 or less) were reflected in prepaid expenses and other assets, and accrued expenses and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, reflecting the fair values of the fixed price diesel swaps contracts. As discussed in note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, we entered into the fixed price swap contracts on diesel purchases to mitigate the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of diesel. Fair value is determined based on observable market data. As of September 30, 2017, we have fixed price swap contracts that mature throughout 2017 and 2018 covering 2.7 million gallons of diesel which we will buy at the average contract price of $2.58 per gallon, while the average forward price for the hedged gallons was $2.78 per gallon as of September 30, 2017.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the immediate to short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair values of our ABL facility, accounts receivable securitization facilityvariable rate debt facilities and capitalfinance leases approximated their book values as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016.2022. The estimated fair values of our other financial instruments, all of which are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20162022 have been calculated based upon available market information, and were as follows:

(1) | (1)The table below presents financial information associated with our variable rate indebtedness as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023. There is no borrowing capacity under the repurchase facility because it is an uncommitted facility. The repurchase facility expires on June 23, 2023 unless extended by the mutual consent of the parties to the repurchase facility agreement. If the facility is not extended, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to repay the outstanding debt under the facility. We have borrowed the full available amount under the term loan facility. The principal obligation under the term loan facility is required to be repaid in quarterly installments in an aggregate amount equal to 1.0 percent per annum, with the balance due at the maturity of the facility. The average amount of debt outstanding under the term loan facility decreases slightly each quarter due to the requirement to repay a portion of the principal obligation. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ABL facility | | Accounts receivable securitization facility | | Term loan facility | | Repurchase facility | Borrowing capacity, net of letters of credit | $ | 2,336 | | | $ | 220 | | | $ | — | | | | Letters of credit | 67 | | | | | | | | Interest rate at March 31, 2023 | 5.9 | % | | 5.7 | % | | 6.6 | % | | 5.9 | % | Average month-end debt outstanding | 1,750 | | | 966 | | | 957 | | | 100 | | Weighted-average interest rate on average debt outstanding | 5.7 | % | | 5.6 | % | | 6.4 | % | | 5.7 | % | Maximum month-end debt outstanding | 1,848 | | | 1,100 | | | 958 | | | 100 | |
(2)Borrowings under the accounts receivable securitization facility are permitted only to the extent that the face amount of the receivables in the collateral pool, net of applicable reserves and other deductions, exceeds the outstanding loans. As of March 31, 2023, there were $1.348 billion of receivables, net of applicable reserves and other deductions, in the collateral pool. (3)In April 2023, the term loan facility was amended to transition to an interest rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). (4)URNA separately issued 4 7/8 percent Senior Notes in August 2017 and in September 2017. Following the issuances, URNA consummated an exchange offer pursuant to which most of the 4 7/8 percent Senior Notes issued in September 2017 were exchanged for additional notes fungible with the 4 7/8 percent Senior Notes issued in August 2017. As of March 31, 2023, the total above is comprised of two separate 4 7/8 percent Senior Notes, one with a book value of $1.659 billion and one with a book value of $4. (5)Short-term debt primarily reflects borrowings under the repurchase facility and the short-term portion of our finance leases. Loan Covenants and Compliance In August 2017, the accounts receivable securitization facility was amended, primarily to increase the facility size and to extend the maturity date which may be further extended on a 364-day basis by mutual agreement with the purchasers under the facility. The size of the facility, which expires on August 28, 2018, was increased to $675. At September 30, 2017, $9 was available under our accounts receivable securitization facility. The interest rate applicable to the accounts receivable securitization facility was 2.0 percent at September 30, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the monthly average amount outstanding under the accounts receivable securitization facility was $584, and the weighted-average interest rate thereon was 1.8 percent. The maximum month-end amount outstanding under the accounts receivable securitization facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $667. Borrowings under the accounts receivable securitization facility are permitted only to the extent that the face amount of the receivables in the collateral pool, net of applicable reserves and other deductions, exceeds the outstanding loans. As of September 30, 2017, there were $769 of receivables, net of applicable reserves and other deductions, in the collateral pool.
|
| |
(2) | In September 2017, the size of the ABL facility was increased to $3.0 billion. At September 30, 2017, $2.5 billion was available under our ABL facility, net of $39 of letters of credit. The interest rate applicable to the ABL facility was 2.8 percent at September 30, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the monthly average amount outstanding under the ABL facility was $1.2 billion, and the weighted-average interest rate thereon was 2.6 percent. The maximum month-end amount outstanding under the ABL facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $1.8 billion. As discussed below, pending the payment of the purchase price for the Neff acquisition discussed in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, a portion of the net proceeds from debt issued in the third quarter of 2017 was used to reduce borrowings under the ABL facility. Upon the closing of the Neff acquisition on October 2, 2017, we used borrowings under the ABL facility to partially fund the Neff acquisition.
|
| |
(3) | In June 2017, we redeemed $250 principal amount of our 7 5/8 percent Senior Notes. Upon redemption, we recognized a loss of $12 in interest expense, net. The loss represented the difference between the net carrying amount and the total purchase price of the redeemed notes. In September 2017, we gave notice of our intention to redeem the remaining 7 5/8 percent Senior Notes in October 2017 using borrowings under the ABL facility.
|
| |
(4) | In August 2017, we redeemed all of our 6 1/8 percent Senior Notes. Upon redemption, we recognized a loss of $31 in interest expense, net. The loss represented the difference between the net carrying amount and the total purchase price of the redeemed notes.

(5) | In September 2017, URNA issued $750 principal amount of 4 5/8 percent Senior Notes (the “4 5/8 percent Notes”) which are due October 15, 2025. The net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $741 (after deducting offering expenses). The 4 5/8 percent Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed by Holdings and certain domestic subsidiaries of

URNA. The 4 5/8 percent Notes may be redeemed on or after October 15, 2020, at specified redemption prices that range from 102.313 percent in 2020, to 100 percent in 2022 and thereafter, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The indenture governing the 4 5/8 percent Notes contains certain restrictive covenants, including, among others, limitations on (i) liens; (ii) mergers and consolidations; (iii) sales, transfers and other dispositions of assets; (iv) dividends and other distributions, stock repurchases and redemptions and other restricted payments; and (v) designations of unrestricted subsidiaries, as well as a requirement to timely file periodic reports with the SEC. Each of the restrictive covenants is subject to important exceptions and qualifications that would allow URNA and its subsidiaries to engage in these activities under certain conditions. In addition, the covenant relating to dividends and other distributions, stock repurchases and redemptions and other restricted payments and the requirements relating to additional subsidiary guarantors will not apply to URNA and its restricted subsidiaries during any period when the 4 5/8 percent Notes are rated investment grade by both Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or, in certain circumstances, another rating agency selected by URNA, provided at such time no default under the indenture has occurred and is continuing. The indenture also requires that, in the event of a change of control (as defined in the indenture), URNA must make an offer to purchase all of the then-outstanding 4 5/8 percent Notes tendered at a purchase price in cash equal to 101 percent of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon. The net proceeds from the 4 5/8 percent Notes were primarily used to partially fund the Neff acquisition discussed in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Pending the payment of the purchase price for the Neff acquisition, a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance was used to reduce borrowings under the ABL facility. The acquisition closed on October 2, 2017. Upon closing of the Neff acquisition, we used available cash and borrowings under the ABL facility to finance the Neff acquisition.

(6) | In February 2017, in connection with the NES acquisition discussed in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, URNA issued $250 principal amount of 5 7/8 percent Senior Notes (the "5 7/8 percent Notes") as an add-on to our existing 5 7/8 percent Notes. The net proceeds from the issuance were $258 (including the original issue premium and after deducting offering expenses). After the February 2017 issuance, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding 5 7/8 percent Notes was $1.0 billion. The newly issued notes have identical terms, and are fungible, with the 5 7/8 percent Notes outstanding at December 31, 2016. The carrying value of the 5 7/8 percent Notes includes the $11 unamortized portion of the original issue premium recognized in conjunction with the February 2017 issuance, which is being amortized through the maturity date in 2026. The effective interest rate on the 5 7/8 percent Notes is 5.7 percent.

| |
(7) | In February 2017, in connection with the NES acquisition discussed in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, URNA issued $250 principal amount of 5 1/2 percent Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 5 1/2 percent Senior Notes") as an add-on to our existing 2027 5 1/2 percent Senior Notes. The net proceeds from the issuance were $250 (including the original issue premium and after deducting offering expenses). After the February 2017 issuance, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2027 5 1/2 percent Senior Notes was $1.0 billion. The newly issued notes have identical terms, and are fungible, with the 2027 5 1/2 percent Senior Notes outstanding at December 31, 2016. The carrying value of the 2027 5 1/2 percent Senior Notes includes the $3 unamortized portion of the original issue premium recognized in conjunction with the February 2017 issuance, which is being amortized through the maturity date in 2027. The effective interest rate on the 2027 5 1/2 percent Senior Notes is 5.5 percent.

(8) | In August 2017, URNA issued $925 principal amount of 4 7/8 percent Senior Notes (the “Initial 4 7/8 percent Notes”) which are due January 15, 2028. The net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $913 (after deducting offering expenses). The Initial 4 7/8 percent Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed by Holdings and certain domestic subsidiaries of URNA. The Initial 4 7/8 percent Notes may be redeemed on or after January 15, 2023, at specified redemption prices that range from 102.438 percent in 2023, to 100 percent in 2026 and thereafter, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The indenture governing the Initial 4 7/8 percent Notes contains certain restrictive covenants, including, among others, limitations on (i) liens; (ii) mergers and consolidations; (iii) sales, transfers and other dispositions of assets; (iv) dividends and other distributions, stock repurchases and redemptions and other restricted payments; and (v) designations of unrestricted subsidiaries, as well as a requirement to timely file periodic reports with the SEC. Each of the restrictive covenants is subject to important exceptions and qualifications that would allow URNA and its subsidiaries to engage in these activities under certain conditions. In addition, the covenant relating to dividends and other distributions, stock repurchases and redemptions and other restricted payments and the requirements relating to additional subsidiary guarantors will not apply to URNA and its restricted subsidiaries during any period when the Initial 4 7/8 percent Notes are rated investment grade by both Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or, in certain circumstances, another rating agency selected by URNA, provided at such time no default under the indenture has occurred and is continuing. The indenture also requires that, in the event of a change of control (as defined in the indenture), URNA must make an offer to purchase all of the then-outstanding Initial 4 7/8 percent Notes tendered at a purchase price in cash equal to 101 percent of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,

(9) | In September 2017, URNA issued $750 principal amount of 4 7/8 percent Senior Notes (the “Subsequent 4 7/8 percent Notes”) which are due January 15, 2028. The net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $743 (including the original issue premium and after deducting offering expenses). The Subsequent 4 7/8 percent Notes are unsecured and are guaranteed by Holdings and certain domestic subsidiaries of URNA. The Subsequent 4 7/8 percent Notes may be redeemed on or after January 15, 2023, at specified redemption prices that range from 102.438 percent in 2023, to 100 percent in 2026 and thereafter, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The indenture governing the Subsequent 4 7/8 percent Notes contains certain restrictive covenants, including, among others, limitations on (i) liens; (ii) mergers and consolidations; (iii) sales, transfers and other dispositions of assets; (iv) dividends and other distributions, stock repurchases and redemptions and other restricted payments; and (v) designations of unrestricted subsidiaries, as well as a requirement to timely file periodic reports with the SEC. Each of the restrictive covenants is subject to important exceptions and qualifications that would allow URNA and its subsidiaries to engage in these activities under certain conditions. In addition, the covenant relating to dividends and other distributions, stock repurchases and redemptions and other restricted payments and the requirements relating to additional subsidiary guarantors will not apply to URNA and its restricted subsidiaries during any period when the Subsequent 4 7/8 percent Notes are rated investment grade by both Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or, in certain circumstances, another rating agency selected by URNA, provided at such time no default under the indenture has occurred and is continuing. The indenture also requires that, in the event of a change of control (as defined in the indenture), URNA must make an offer to purchase all of the then-outstanding Subsequent 4 7/8 percent Notes tendered at a purchase price in cash equal to 101 percent of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon. The carrying value of the Subsequent 4 7/8 percent Notes includes $2 of the unamortized original issue premium, which is being amortized through the maturity date in 2028. The effective interest rate on the Subsequent 4 7/8 percent Notes is 4.84 percent. The net proceeds from the Subsequent 4 7/8 percent Notes were primarily used to partially fund the Neff acquisition discussed in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Pending the payment of the purchase price for the Neff acquisition, a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance was used to reduce borrowings under the ABL facility. The acquisition closed on October 2, 2017. Upon closing of the Neff acquisition, we used available cash and borrowings under the ABL facility to finance the Neff acquisition.
|
| |
(10) | As discussed above, we completed the Neff acquisition on October 2, 2017. The aggregate consideration paid to complete the acquisition was approximately $1.3 billion. Total debt as of September 30, 2017 reflects approximately $1.4 billion of debt issued in connection with the acquisition (this amount reflects $2.425 billion principal amount of debt issued in the third quarter of 2017, net of (i) cash paid to redeem $925 principal amount of 6 1/8 percent Senior Notes and (ii) fees and expenses associated with the issued debt), as discussed above. Upon closing, we paid the consideration due to holders of Neff common stock and options using available cash and drawings on the ABL facility. After payment of such consideration, total outstanding debt was approximately $9.7 billion.
|
| |
(11) | As of September 30, 2017, our short-term debt primarily reflects $666 of borrowings under our accounts receivable securitization facility. |
Loan Covenants and Compliance
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the ABL, facility, the accounts receivable securitization, facilityterm loan and repurchase facilities and the senior notes. Any failure to be in compliance with any material provision or covenant of these agreements could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and operations.
The only financial maintenance covenant that currently exists under the ABL facility is the fixed charge coverage ratio. Subject to certain limited exceptions specified in the ABL facility, the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the ABL facility will only apply in the future if specified availability under the ABL facility falls below 10 percent of the maximum revolver amount under the ABL facility. When certain conditions are met, cash and cash equivalents and borrowing base collateral in excess of the ABL facility size may be included when calculating specified availability under the ABL facility. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, specified availability under the ABL facility exceeded the required threshold and, as a result, this financial maintenance covenant was inapplicable. Under our accounts receivable securitization facility, we are required, among other things, to maintain certain financial tests relating to: (i) the default ratio, (ii) the delinquency ratio, (iii) the dilution ratio and (iv) days sales outstanding. The accounts receivable securitization facility also requires us to comply with the fixed charge coverage ratio under the ABL facility, to the extent the ratio is applicable under the ABL facility.
9.9. Legal and Regulatory Matters
UNITED RENTALS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(Dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise indicated)
We are subject to a number of claims and proceedings that generally arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters include, but are not limited to, general liability claims (including personal injury, property and auto claims), indemnification and guarantee obligations, employee injuries and employment-related claims, self-insurance obligations, contract and real estate matters, and other general business litigation. Based on advice of counsel and available information, including current status or stage of proceeding, and taking into account accruals for matters where we have established them, we currently believe that any liabilities ultimately resulting from such claims and proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
10.10. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (shares in thousands):

(DollarsItem 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise indicated)
Global Economic Conditions
Our operations are impacted by global economic conditions, including inflation, increased interest rates and supply chain constraints, and we take actions to modify our plans to address such economic conditions. In 2022, for example, we intentionally held back on sales of rental equipment to ensure we had sufficient rental capacity for our customers. To date, our supply chain disruptions have been limited, but we may experience more severe supply chain disruptions in the future. Interest rates on our debt instruments have increased recently. For example, in November 2022, URNA issued $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes at a 6 percent interest rate, while URNA's immediately prior issuance in August 2021 of $750 aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes was at a 3 ¾ percent interest rate. Additionally, the weighted average interest rates on our variable debt instruments were 5.9 percent and 1.6 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We have experienced and are continuing to experience inflationary pressures. A portion of inflationary cost increases is passed on to customers. The most significant cost increases that are passed on to customers are for fuel and delivery, and there are other costs for which the pass through to customers is less direct, such as repairs and maintenance, and labor. The impact of inflation and increased interest rates may be significant in the future.
11. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information of Guarantor Subsidiaries
URNA is 100 percent owned by Holdings (“Parent”) and has certain outstanding indebtedness that is guaranteed by both Parent and, with the exception of its U.S. special purpose vehicle which holds receivable assetsWe also continue to monitor any developments relating to the Company’s accounts receivable securitization facility (the “SPV”), all of URNA’s U.S. subsidiaries (the “guarantor subsidiaries”). Other than the guarantee by certain Canadian subsidiaries of URNA's indebtedness under the ABL facility, none of URNA’s indebtedness is guaranteed by URNA's foreign subsidiaries or the SPV (together, the “non-guarantor subsidiaries”coronavirus (“COVID-19”). The receivable assets owned byhealth and safety of our employees and customers has been, and remains, our top priority, and we also implemented a detailed COVID-19 response plan, which we believe helped mitigate the SPVimpact of COVID-19 on our results. The COVID-19 impact on our business was most pronounced in 2020, and we have been sold or contributed by URNAseen evidence of a continuing recovery of activity across our end-markets since 2021. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed in 2021 and 2020 include detailed disclosures addressing the COVID-19 impact on our business.
We continue to assess the economic environment in which we operate and any developments relating to the SPVCOVID-19 pandemic, and are not availabletake appropriate actions to satisfyaddress the obligations of URNA or Parent’seconomic and other subsidiaries. The guarantor subsidiaries are all 100 percent-owned and the guarantees are made on a joint and several basis. The guarantees are not full and unconditional because a guarantor subsidiary can be automatically released and relieved of its obligations under certain circumstances, including sale of the guarantor subsidiary, the sale of all or substantially all of the guarantor subsidiary's assets, the requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance under the applicable indenture being met, designating the guarantor subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary for purposes of the applicable covenants or, other than with respect to the guarantees of the 7 5/8 percent Senior Notes due 2022 and the 5 3/4 percent Senior Notes due 2024, the notes being rated investment grade by both Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or, in certain circumstances, another rating agency selected by URNA. The guarantees are also subject to subordination provisions (to the same extent that the obligations of the issuer under the relevant notes are subordinated to other debt of the issuer) and to a standard limitation which provides that the maximum amount guaranteed by each guarantor will not exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed without making the guarantee void under fraudulent conveyance laws. Based on our understanding of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X ("Rule 3-10"),challenges we believe that the guarantees of the guarantor subsidiaries comply with the conditions set forth in Rule 3-10 and therefore continue to utilize Rule 3-10 to present condensed consolidating financial information for Holdings, URNA, the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries. Separate consolidated financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries have not been presented because management believes that such information would not be material to investors. However, condensed consolidating financial information is presented.face.
URNA covenants in the ABL facility, accounts receivable securitization facility and the other agreements governing our debt impose operating and financial restrictions on URNA, Parent and the guarantor subsidiaries, including limitations on the ability to make share repurchases and dividend payments. As of September 30, 2017, the amount available for distribution under the most restrictive of these covenants was $536. The Company’s total available capacity for making share repurchases and dividend payments includes the intercompany receivable balance of Parent. As of September 30, 2017, our total available capacity for making share repurchases and dividend payments, which includes URNA’s capacity to make restricted payments and the intercompany receivable balance of Parent, was $1.234 billion.
The condensed consolidating financial information of Parent and its subsidiaries is as follows:

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (dollars in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise indicated) |
Executive Overview
We are the largest equipment rental company in the world, with an integrated network of 9501,525 rental locationslocations. We primarily operate in the United States and Canada.Canada, and have a limited presence in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Although the equipment rental industry is highly fragmented and diverse, we believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of this environment because, as a larger company, we have more extensive resources and certain competitive advantages. These include a fleet of rental equipment with a total original equipment cost (“OEC”) of $10.8$20.0 billion, and a nationalNorth American branch network that operates in 49 U.S. states and every Canadian province, and serves 99 of the 100 largest 100 metropolitan areas in the United States. In addition, ourU.S. Our size also gives us greater purchasing power, the ability to provide customers with a broader range of equipment and services, the ability to provide customers with equipment that is more consistently well-maintained and therefore more productive and reliable, and the ability to enhance the earning potential of our assets by transferring equipment among branches to satisfy customer needs.
We offer approximately 3,3004,700 classes of equipment for rent to a diverse customer base that includes construction and industrial companies, manufacturers, utilities, municipalities, homeowners and government entities. Our revenues are derived from the following sources: equipment rentals, sales of rental equipment, sales of new equipment, contractor supplies sales and service and other revenues. Equipment rentals represented 8683 percent of total revenues for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2023.
For the past several years, as we havecontinued to manage the impact of COVID-19, we executed a strategy focused on improving the profitability of our core equipment rental business through revenue growth, margin expansion and operational efficiencies. In particular, we have focused on customer segmentation, customer service differentiation, rate management, fleet management and operational efficiency.
In 2017, we have continued our disciplined focus Our general strategy focuses on increasing our profitability and return on invested capital. Incapital, and, in particular, our strategy calls for:
•A consistently superior standard of service to customers, often provided through a single pointlead contact who can coordinate the cross-selling of contact;
the various services we offer throughout our network. We utilize a proprietary software application, Total Control®, which provides our key customers with a single in-house software application that enables them to monitor and manage all their equipment needs. Total Control® is a unique customer offering that enables us to develop strong, long-term relationships with our larger customers. Our digital capabilities, including our Total Control® platform, allow our sales teams to provide contactless end-to-end customer service;•The further optimization of our customer mix and fleet mix, with a dual objective:objective: to enhance our performance in serving our current customer base, and to focus on the accounts and customer types that are best suited to our strategy for profitable growth. We believe these efforts will lead to even better service of our target accounts, primarily large construction and industrial customers, as well as select local contractors. Our fleet team's analyses
are aligned with these objectives to identify trends in equipment categories and define action plans that can generate improved returns;
The implementation of•A continued focus on “Lean” management techniques, including kaizen processes focused on continuous improvement. We have trained over 3,100 employees, over 70 percent ofa dedicated team responsible for reducing waste in our district managers and approximately 55 percent of our branch managers on the Lean kaizen process. We continue to implement this program across our branch network,operational processes, with the objectives of: reducingcondensing the cycle time associated with rentingpreparing equipment for rent; optimizing our equipment to customers; improving invoice accuracyresources for delivery and service quality; reducing the elapsed time for equipment pickup and delivery; andof equipment; improving the effectiveness and efficiency of our repair and maintenance operations. We achieved the anticipated run rate savings from the Lean initiatives in 2016operations; and expect to continue to generate savings from these initiatives;
implementing customer service best practices;The implementation of Project XL, which is a set of eight specific work streams focused on driving profitable growth through revenue opportunities and generating incremental profitability through cost savings across our business;
•The continued expansion of our trench, power and pump footprint, as well as our tools offering, and the cross-selling of theseadjacent specialty and services throughoutproducts, which enables us to provide a "one-stop" shop for our networkcustomers. We believe that the expansion of our trench, power and pumpspecialty business, as exhibited by our acquisition of General Finance Corporation ("General Finance") in May 2021, as well as our tools offering,and onsite services offerings, will further position United Rentals as a single source provider of total jobsite solutions through our extensive product and service resources and technology offerings; and
•The pursuit of strategic acquisitions to continue to expand our core equipment rental business,, as exhibited by our recently completed acquisitionsacquisition of NES and Neff.assets of Ahern Rentals, which is discussed in note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Strategic acquisitions allow us to invest our capital to expand our business, further driving our ability to accomplish our strategic goals.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, equipment rental revenue increased 11.7 percent as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily reflecting a 14.5 percent increase in the volume of OEC on rent, which includes the impact of the NES acquisition discussed in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, partially offset by a 0.7 percent rental rate decrease. Rental rate changes are calculated based on the year-over-year variance in average contract rates, weighted by the prior period revenue mix. The decreased rental rates reflected the impact of the NES acquisition, pressure from Canada and the impact of industry fleet expansion. On a pro forma basis including NES' standalone, pre-acquisition results, equipment rental revenue increased 6.5 percent year-over-year, primarily reflecting a 6.9 percent increase in the volume of OEC on rent
partially offset by a 0.2 percent rental rate decrease. We believe that the increase in the volume of OEC on rent reflects improving demand in many of our core markets. In particular, we saw improvement in our trench, power and pump segment. The volume of OEC on rent increased 30.6 percent in our trench, power and pump segment, primarily due to continued strength in our Trench Safety and Power and HVAC regions, and improved performance in our Pump Solutions region. The improvement in the Pump Solutions region primarily reflected growth in revenue from i) upstream oil and gas customers, which have experienced significant volatility in recent years, and ii) construction and mining customers.

In October 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a $1.25 billion share repurchase program. This program was paused through the initial phase of the integration of the Ahern Rentals acquisition, and repurchases began in the first quarter of 2023. We expect to financerepurchase $1.0 billion of common stock under the Neff acquisition upon its closingprogram in 2023, and have repurchased $250 under the program through March 31, 2023. A 1 percent excise tax is imposed on October 2, 2017.“net repurchases” (certain purchases minus certain issuances) of common stock.

EBITDA GAAP Reconciliations. EBITDA represents the sum of net income, provision for income taxes, interest expense, net, depreciation of rental equipment and non-rental depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus the sum of the merger related costs, restructuring charge,charges, stock compensation expense, net and the impact of the fair value mark-up of the acquired RSC and NES fleet. See below for further detail on each adjusting item. These items are excluded from adjusted EBITDA internally when evaluating our operating performance and for strategic planning and forecasting purposes, and allow investors to make a more meaningful comparison between our core business operating results over different periods of time, as well as with those of other similar companies. The EBITDAnet income and adjusted EBITDA margins represent EBITDAnet income or adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. Management believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with the Company’s results under GAAP
and the accompanying reconciliations, provide useful information about operating performance and period-over-period growth, and provide additional information that is useful for evaluating the operating performance of our core business without regard to potential distortions. Additionally, management believes that EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA help investors gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our ongoing cash earnings, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced. However, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to net income or cash flow from operating activities as indicators of operating performance or liquidity.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, EBITDAMarch 31, 2023, net income increased $82,$84, or 11.322.9 percent, and adjusted EBITDA increased $132, or 17.7net income margin decreased 80 basis points to 13.7 percent. For the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 240 basis points to 45.6increased $364, or 32.0 percent, and adjusted EBITDA margin increased 3070 basis points to 49.845.8 percent.
The year-over-year decrease in the EBITDAnet income margin primarily reflects i)lower gross margins, primarily due to the Ahern Rentals acquisition, from equipment rentals and sales of rental equipment, and increased net interest expense, partially offset by reductions in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") compensation costs, including stock compensation costs, largelyexpense and non-rental depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenue, and revenue mix benefits. Depreciation and repairs and maintenance expenses for the rental equipment acquired in the Ahern Rentals acquisition were higher than for our other rental equipment, which negatively impacted equipment rentals gross margin year-over-year. Net interest expense increased $56, or 59.6 percent, primarily due to increased average debt, including the debt issued to partially fund the Ahern Rentals acquisition, and higher variable debt interest rates (as noted above, the weighted average interest rates on our variable debt instruments were 5.9 percent and 1.6 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively). The favorable margin impact of the NES acquisition discussed in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, increased revenue, improved profitability,SG&A expense and increases in our stock pricenon-rental depreciation and in the volume of stock awards, and ii) increased merger related costs primarily associated with the Neff acquisition discussed in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. amortization both reflect better fixed cost absorption on higher revenue.
The increase in the adjusted EBITDA margin primarily reflects i) increased margins, excludingreduced SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue and revenue mix benefits, partially offset by a 60 basis point decrease in equipment rentals gross margin (excluding depreciation and stock compensation expense).The favorable margin impact of SG&A expense reflects better fixed cost absorption on higher revenue. The decreased gross margin from equipment rentals (excluding depreciation and ii) increased margins, excludingstock compensation expense) primarily reflects the impact of the fair value mark-upAhern Rentals acquisition (in particular, repairs and maintenance expense for the rental equipment acquired in the Ahern Rentals acquisition was higher than for our other rental equipment, which negatively impacted equipment rentals gross margin year-over-year).
Revenues are noted below. Fleet productivity is a comprehensive metric that provides greater insight into the decisions made by our managers in support of acquired RSCequipment rental growth and NES fleet, from salesreturns. Specifically, we seek to optimize the interplay of rental equipment, partially offset by iii) increased SG&A compensation costs largely duerates, time utilization and mix to drive rental revenue. Fleet productivity aggregates, in one metric, the impact of changes in rates, utilization and mix on owned equipment rental revenue. We believe that this metric is useful in assessing the NES acquisition discussedeffectiveness of our decisions on rates, time utilization and mix, particularly as they support the creation of shareholder value. The table below includes the components of the year-over-year change in rental revenue using the fleet productivity methodology.

Equipment rentals include our revenues from renting equipment, as well as revenue related to the fees we charge customers: for equipment delivery and pick-up; to protect the customer against liability for damage to our equipment while on rent; for fuel; and for environmental and other miscellaneous costs and services. Sales of rental equipment represent our revenues from the sale of used rental equipment. Sales of new equipment represent our revenues from the sale of new equipment. Contractor supplies sales represent our sales of supplies utilized by contractors, which include construction consumables, tools, small equipment and safety supplies. Services and other revenues primarily represent our revenues earned from providing repair and maintenance services on our customers’ fleet (including parts sales). See note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our revenue recognition accounting.
For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017, EBITDAMarch 31, 2023, total revenues of $3.285 billion increased $100, or 5.130.2 percent compared with 2022.

Results of Operations
As discussed in note 34 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, our reportable segments are general rentals and trench, power and pump.specialty. The general rentals segment includes the rental of construction, aerial, industrial and homeowner equipment and related services and activities. The general rentals segment’s customers include construction and industrial companies, manufacturers, utilities, municipalities, homeowners and government entities. The general rentalsThis segment operates throughout the United States and Canada. The trench, power and pumpspecialty segment is comprisedincludes the rental of specialty construction products such as i) the Trench Safety region, which rents trench safety equipment, such as trench shields, aluminum hydraulic shoring systems, slide rails, crossing plates, construction lasers and line testing equipment for underground work, ii) the Power and HVAC region, which rents power and HVAC equipment, such as portable diesel generators, electrical distribution equipment, and temperature control equipment, including heatingiii) fluid solutions equipment primarily used for fluid containment, transfer and coolingtreatment, and iv) mobile storage equipment and iii) the Pump Solutions region, which rents pumps primarily used by municipalities, industrial plants, and mining, construction, and agribusiness customers.modular office space. The trench, power and pumpspecialty segment’s customers include construction companies involved in infrastructure projects, municipalities and industrial companies. The trench, power and pumpThis segment primarily operates throughoutin the United States and Canada, and has a limited presence in Canada.Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
As discussed in note 34 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we aggregate our tenfour geographic regions—Gulf South, Industrial (which serves the geographic Gulf region and has a strong industrial presence), Mid-Atlantic, Mid-Central, Midwest,divisions—Central, Northeast, Pacific West, South, Southeast and Western Canada—West—into our general rentals reporting segment. We periodically review the size and geographic scope of our regions, and have occasionally reorganized the regions to create a more balanced and effective structure. Historically, there have occasionally been variances in the levels of equipment rentals gross margins achieved by these regions. For the five year period ended September 30, 2017, one of our general rentals' regions had an equipment rentals gross margin that varied by betweendivisions, though such variances have generally been small (close to or less than 10 percent, and 12 percent frommeasured versus the equipment rentals gross margins of the aggregated general rentals' regions overdivisions). For the same period.five year period ended March 31, 2023, there was no general rentals' division with an equipment rentals gross margin that differed materially from the equipment rentals gross margin of the aggregated general rentals' divisions. The rental industry is cyclical, and there historically have occasionally been regionsdivisions with equipment rentals gross margins that varied by greater than 10 percent from the equipment rentals gross margins of the aggregated general rentals' regions,divisions, though the specific regionsdivisions with margin variances of over 10 percent have fluctuated.
fluctuated, and such variances have generally not exceeded 10 percent by a significant amount. We expect margin convergence going forward given the cyclical nature of the rental industry, and monitor the margin variances and confirm the expectation of future convergencemargin similarity between divisions on a quarterly basis.
We similarly monitor the margin variances for the regions in the trench, power and pump segment. The Pump Solutions region is primarily comprised
We believe that the regionsdivisions that are aggregated into our segments have similar economic characteristics, as each regiondivision is capital intensive, offers similar products to similar customers, uses similar methods to distribute its products, and is subject to similar competitive risks. The aggregation of our regionsdivisions also reflects the management structure that we use for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Although we believe aggregating these regionsdivisions into our reporting segments for segment reporting purposes is appropriate, to the extent that there are significant margin variances that do not converge, we may be required to disaggregate the regionsdivisions into separate reporting segments. Any such disaggregation would have no impact on our consolidated results of operations.
These reporting segments align our external segment reporting with how management evaluates business performance and allocates resources. We evaluate segment performance primarily based on segment equipment rentals gross profit. Our revenues, operating results, and financial condition fluctuate from quarter to quarter reflecting the seasonal rental patterns of our customers, with rental activity tending to be lower in the winter.

Equipment rentals gross margin increased 60 basis points, primarily reflecting a 160 basis point increase in time utilization and a 0.1 percent rental rate increase, partially offset by increased compensation costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, time utilization was 71.9 percent and 70.3 percent, respectively. Time utilization for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was a third quarter record. The volume of OEC on rent increased 18.2 percent, including the impact of the NES acquisition. On a pro forma basis including NES' standalone, pre-acquisition results, the volume of OEC on rent increased 7.6 percent. We believe that the increase in the volume of OEC on rent reflects improving demand in many of our core markets. As compared to the equipment rentals revenue increase of 16.2 percent, compensation costs increased 19.1 percent due in part to increased bonuses associated with improved operating results. Gross margin from sales of new equipment decreased 170 basis points. Sales of new equipment increased 33.3 percent, primarily reflecting increased volume and increased sales of larger equipment, some of which were at lower margins. Gross margin from service and other revenues decreased 670 basis points. In 2017, as a result of our increased focus on the service line of business, we increased the allocation of labor to it. Such labor costs were formerly included in cost of equipment rentals.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, total gross margin was flat with the same period in 2016. Equipment rentals gross margin increased 40 basis points, primarily reflecting a 190 basis point increase in time utilization partially offset by a 0.7 percent rental rate decrease. The decreased rental rates reflected the impact of the NES acquisition, pressure from Canada and the impact of industry fleet expansion. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, time utilization was 69.3 percent and 67.4 percent, respectively. The volume of OEC on rent increased 14.5 percent, including the impact of the NES acquisition. On a pro forma basis including NES' standalone, pre-acquisition results, the volume of OEC on rent increased 6.9 percent. We believe that the increase in the volume of OEC on rent reflects improving demand in many of our core markets. Gross margin from sales of new equipment decreased 340 basis points. Sales of new equipment increased 31.3 percent, primarily reflecting increased volume and increased sales of larger equipment, some of which were at lower margins. Gross margin from contractor supplies sales decreased 170 basis points from 2022, primarily due to the impact of some large volume sales at lower margins.the Ahern Rentals acquisition. As a percentage of revenue, depreciation and repairs and maintenance expenses for the rental equipment acquired in the Ahern Rentals acquisition were higher than for our other rental equipment, which negatively impacted equipment rentals gross margin year-over-year. Gross margin from sales of rental equipment decreased 600 basis points from the same period in 2022, primarily due to the impact of lower margin sales of rental equipment acquired in the Ahern Rentals acquisition. The equipment acquired in the Ahern Rentals acquisition was recorded at fair value as of the December 2022 acquisition date, and
the gross margins on the sale of such acquired equipment were less than the gross margins achieved upon the sale of other rental equipment. As reflected in the above gross margin, pricing on sales of rental equipment remains strong. The gross margin fluctuations from sales of new equipment, contractor supplies sales and service and other revenues decreased 830 basis points. In 2017, asgenerally reflect normal variability, and such revenue types did not account for a resultsignificant portion of our increased focus ontotal gross profit (gross profit for these revenue types represented 4 percent of total gross profit for the service line of business, we increased the allocation of labor to it.

We have made a number of acquisitions in the past and may continue to make acquisitions in the future. Merger related costs only include costs associated with major acquisitions that significantly impact our operations. The historic acquisitions that have included merger related costs are RSC, which had annual revenues of approximately $1.5 billion prior to the acquisition, and National Pump, which had annual revenues of over $200 prior to the acquisition. As discussed in note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, NES had annual revenues of approximately $369 and Neff had annual revenues of approximately $413.
The restructuring charges primarily reflect severance and branch closure charges associated with our restructuring programs. We incur severance costs and branch closure charges in the ordinary course of our business. We only include such costs that are part of a restructuring program as restructuring charges. The designated restructuring programs generally involve the closure of a large number of branches over a short period of time, often in periods following a major acquisition, and result in significant costs that we would not normally incur absent a major acquisition or other triggering event that results in the initiation of a restructuring program. Since the first such program was initiated in 2008, we have completed six restructuring programs and have incurred total restructuring charges of $353.
In the secondfirst quarter of 2017,2023, we initiated a restructuring program following the closing of the NESAhern Rentals acquisition discussed in note 2above. We expect to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The restructuring program also includes actions undertaken associated with Project XL, which is a set of eight specific work streams focused on driving profitable growth through revenue opportunities and generating incremental profitability through cost savings across our business. Additionally, following the closing of the Neff acquisition that is discussed in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements on October 2, 2017,complete the restructuring program will include actions thatin 2023, and we currently expect to undertakeincur approximately $15 of additional expenses under the program. As of March 31, 2023, the total liability associated with the Neff acquisition. For additional information, see note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.open and closed restructuring programs was $6.
Non-rental depreciation and amortization includes (i)i) the amortization of other intangible assets and (ii)ii) depreciation expense associated with equipment that is not offered for rent (such as computers and office equipment) and amortization expense associated with leasehold improvements. Our other intangible assets consist of customer relationships, non-compete agreements and non-compete agreements.
Interest expense, net for the threetrade names and nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes losses of $31associated trademarks. The year-over-year increase in non-rental depreciation and $43, respectively, associated with the redemptions of $250 principal amount of our 7 5/8 percent Senior Notes and all of our 6 1/8 percent Senior Notes, as discussed in note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Interest expense, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 includes aggregate losses of $10 and $36, respectively, associated with the redemptions of all of our 8 1/4 percent Senior Notes and 7 3/8 percent Senior Notes, and an amendment to our ABL facility. Excludingamortization primarily reflects the impact of the debt redemption losses, interestAhern Rentals acquisition discussed above.
Interest expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was flatMarch 31, 2023 increased 59.6 percent year-over-year, primarily due to increased average debt, offset by a lower average cost of debt. Excluding the impact ofincluding the debt redemption losses,issued to partially fund the Ahern Rentals acquisition discussed above, and higher variable debt interest expense, netrates. The weighted average interest rates on our variable debt instruments were 5.9 percent and 1.6 percent for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 decreasedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Other (income) expense, net primarily includes i) currency gains and losses, ii) finance charges, iii) gains and losses on sales of non-rental equipment and iv) other miscellaneous items.
The effective tax rates for 2023 and 2022 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21 percent primarily due to a lower average cost of debt.
The differences between the 2017 and 2016 effective tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35 percent primarily reflect the geographical mix of income between foreign and domestic operations, and the impact of state and local taxes, stock compensation, other deductible and certain nondeductible charges. Additionally, theThe effective income tax rate for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 includesMarch 31, 2023 did not change significantly year-over-year.
Balance sheet. Prepaid expenses and other assets decreased by $114, or 29.9 percent, from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023, primarily due to the use of a portion of a tax reduction of $8receivable associated with excess tax benefitsthe Ahern Rentals acquisition to reduce
cash paid for income taxes (see note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail). Accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased by $138, or 12.1 percent, from share-basedDecember 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023, primarily due to the payment arrangements,of accrued bonuses. Operating lease right-of-use assets increased by $245, or 29.9 percent, and operating lease liabilities increased by $215, or 33.5 percent, from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023, and both increases primarily reflect the impact of the Ahern Rentals acquisition, as discussed in note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Balance sheet. Accounts receivable, net increased by $231, or 25.1 percent, from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 primarily due to increased revenue, which included the impact of the NES acquisition discussed in note 23 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We manage our liquidity using internal cash management practices, which are subject to (i) the policies and cooperation of the financial institutions we utilize to maintain and provide cash management services, (ii) the terms and other requirements of the agreements to which we are a party and (iii) the statutes, regulations and practices of each of the local jurisdictions in which we operate. See "Financial Overview"
On October 24, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a $1.25 billion share repurchase program. This program was paused through the initial phase of the integration of the Ahern Rentals acquisition, and repurchases began in the first quarter of 2023. We expect to repurchase $1.0 billion of common stock under the program in 2023, and have repurchased $250 under the program through March 31, 2023. A 1 percent excise tax is imposed on “net repurchases” (certain purchases minus certain issuances) of common stock. The repurchases above for a summary of recent capital structure actions taken to improve our financial flexibility(as well as the total program size and liquidity.
expected 2023 repurchases) do not include the excise tax, which totaled $1 year-to-date through March 31, 2023. Since 2012, we have repurchased a total of $1.450$5.208 billion (inclusive of immaterial excise taxes, which were first imposed in 2023) of Holdings' common stock under three completedour share repurchase programs. Additionally,programs (comprised of seven programs that have ended and the current program).
Our Board of Directors also approved our first-ever quarterly dividend program in July 2015, our Board authorized a $1 billion share repurchase program which commenced in November 2015. As of October 16, 2017, we have repurchased $627 of Holdings' common stock underJanuary 2023, and the $1 billion share repurchase program. In October 2016, we paused repurchasesfirst dividend under the program aswas paid in February 2023. We did not pay any dividends prior to 2023, and during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we evaluated potential acquisition opportunities. As discussed in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, we completed the acquisitions of NES inpaid dividends totaling $103 ($1.48 per share).

Our principal existing sources of cash are cash generated from operations and from the sale of rental equipment, and borrowings available under our ABL facility and accounts receivable securitization facility. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $324. Cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 consist of direct obligations of financial institutions rated A or better.$99. We believe that our existing sources of cash will be sufficient to support our existing operations over the next 12 months.

_________________
(1) The average and maximum month-end debt outstanding under the ABL facility exceeded the amount outstanding as of September 30, 2017 primarily due to the pay down of borrowings under the ABL facility using the net proceeds from debt issued in the third quarter of 2017. Following the closing of the Neff acquisition on October 2, 2017, we used borrowings under the ABL facility to partially fund the Neff acquisition.

We expect that our principal needs for cash relating to our operations over the next 12 months will be to fund (i) operating activities and working capital, (ii) the purchase of rental equipment and inventory items offered for sale, (iii) payments due under operating leases, (iv) debt service, (v) share repurchases, (vi) dividends and (vi)(vii) acquisitions. We plan to fund such
cash requirements from our existing sources of cash. In addition, we may seek additional financing through the securitization of some of our real estate, the use of additional operating leases or other financing sources as market conditions permit.
To access the capital markets, we rely on credit rating agencies to assign ratings to our securities as an indicator of credit quality. Lower credit ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs and reduced access to debt capital markets. Credit ratings also affect the costs of derivative transactions, including interest rate and foreign currency derivative transactions. As a result, negative changes in our credit ratings could adversely impact our costs of funding. Our credit ratings as of October 16, 2017April 24, 2023 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | |
| Corporate Rating | | Outlook |
Moody’s | Ba2Ba1 | | Stable |
Standard & Poor’s | BB-BB+ | | PositiveStable |
A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. There is no assurance that any rating will remain in effect for a given period of time or that any rating will not be revised or withdrawn by a rating agency in the future.
Loan Covenants and Compliance. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with the covenants and other provisions of the ABL, facility, the accounts receivable securitization, facilityterm loan and repurchase facilities and the senior notes. Any failure to be in compliance with any material provision or covenant of these agreements could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and operations.
The only financial maintenance covenant that currently exists under the ABL facility is the fixed charge coverage ratio. Subject to certain limited exceptions specified in the ABL facility, the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under the ABL facility will only apply in the future if specified availability under the ABL facility falls below 10 percent of the maximum revolver amount under the ABL facility. When certain conditions are met, cash and cash equivalents and borrowing base collateral in excess of the ABL facility size may be included when calculating specified availability under the ABL facility. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, specified availability under the ABL facility exceeded the required threshold and, as a result, this financial maintenance covenant was inapplicable. Under our accounts receivable securitization facility, we are required, among other things, to maintain certain financial tests relating to: (i) the default ratio, (ii) the delinquency ratio, (iii) the dilution ratio and (iv) days sales outstanding. The accounts receivable securitization facility also requires us to comply with the fixed charge coverage ratio under the ABL facility, to the extent the ratio is applicable under the ABL facility.
URNA’s payment capacity is restricted under the covenants in the ABL facilityand term loan facilities and the indentures governing its outstanding indebtedness. Although this restricted capacity limits our ability to move operating cash flows to Holdings, because of certain intercompany arrangements, we do not expect any material adverse impact on Holdings’ ability to meet its cash obligations.
Sources and Uses of Cash. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, we (i) generated cash from operating activities of $1.766 billion,$939, (ii) generated cash from the sale of rental and non-rental equipment of $388$400 and (iii) received cash from debt proceeds, net of payments, of $546.$220. We used cash during this period principally to (i) purchase rental and non-rental equipment and intangible assets of $1.572 billion,$870, (ii) purchase other companies for $1.063 billion,$299 (iii) purchase shares of our common stock for $26$303 and (iv) pay financing costsdividends of $44.$103. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2022, we (i) generated cash from operating activities of $1.630 billion$886 and (ii) generated cash from the sale of rental and non-rental equipment of $373.$216. We used cash during this period principally to (i) purchase rental and non-rental equipment and intangible assets of $1.210 billion,$537, (ii) purchase other companies for $77, (iii) make debt payments, net of proceeds, of $209$217 and (iii)(iv) purchase shares of our common stock for $488.$318.
Free Cash Flow GAAP Reconciliation. We define “free cash flow” as (i) net cash provided by operating activities less (ii) purchases of, rental and non-rental equipment plus (iii) proceeds from, sales of rental and non-rental equipment and excess tax benefitsintangible assets. The equipment and intangible asset purchases and proceeds are included in cash flows from share-based payment arrangements.investing activities. Management believes that free cash flow provides useful additional information concerning cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements. However, free cash flow is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. Accordingly, free cash flow should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flow from operating activities as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity. The table below provides a reconciliation between net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow.

(1) | As discussed in note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we adopted accounting guidance in the first quarter of 2017 that changed the cash flow presentation of excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements. In the table above, the excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements for 2017 are presented as a component of net cash provided by operating activities, while, for 2016, they are presented as a separate line item. Because we historically included the excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements in the free cash flow calculation, the adoption of this guidance did not change the calculation of free cash flow. |

Free cash flow decreased primarily due to increased purchasesnet rental capital expenditures (purchases of rental equipment less the proceeds from sales of rental equipment), partially offset by increased net cash provided by operating activities. Net rental capital expenditures increased $138 year-over-year.

Relationship between Holdings and URNA. Holdings is principally a holding company and primarily conducts its operations through its wholly owned subsidiary, URNA, and subsidiaries of URNA. Holdings licenses its tradename and other
intangibles and provides certain services to URNA in connection with its operations. These services principally include:
(i) senior management services; (ii) finance and tax-related services and support; (iii) information technology systems and support; (iv) acquisition-related services; (v) legal services; and (vi) human resource support. In addition, Holdings leases certain equipment and real property that are made available for use by URNA and its subsidiaries.
Information Regarding Guarantors of URNA Indebtedness
URNA is 100 percent owned by Holdings and has certain outstanding indebtedness that is guaranteed by both Holdings and, with the exception of its U.S. special purpose vehicle which holds receivable assets relating to the Company’s accounts receivable securitization facility (the “SPV”), captive insurance subsidiary and immaterial subsidiaries acquired in connection with the General Finance acquisition, all of URNA’s U.S. subsidiaries (the “guarantor subsidiaries”). Other than the guarantee by our Canadian subsidiary of URNA's indebtedness under the ABL facility, none of URNA’s indebtedness is guaranteed by URNA's foreign subsidiaries, the SPV, captive insurance subsidiary or immaterial subsidiaries acquired in connection with the General Finance acquisition (together, the “non-guarantor subsidiaries”). The receivable assets owned by the SPV have been sold or contributed by URNA to the SPV and are not available to satisfy the obligations of URNA or Holdings’ other subsidiaries. Holdings consolidates each of URNA and the guarantor subsidiaries in its consolidated financial statements. URNA and the guarantor subsidiaries are all 100 percent-owned and controlled by Holdings. Holdings’ guarantees of URNA’s indebtedness are full and unconditional, except that the guarantees may be automatically released and relieved upon satisfaction of the requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance under the applicable indenture being met. The Holdings guarantees are also subject to subordination provisions (to the same extent that the obligations of the issuer under the relevant notes are subordinated to other debt of the issuer) and to a standard limitation which provides that the maximum amount guaranteed by Holdings will not exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed without making the guarantee void under fraudulent conveyance laws.
The guarantees of Holdings and the guarantor subsidiaries are made on a joint and several basis. The guarantees of the guarantor subsidiaries are not full and unconditional because a guarantor subsidiary can be automatically released and relieved of its obligations under certain circumstances, including sale of the guarantor subsidiary, the sale of all or substantially all of the guarantor subsidiary's assets, the requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance under the applicable indenture being met, designating the guarantor subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary for purposes of the applicable covenants or the notes being rated investment grade by both Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or, in certain circumstances, another rating agency selected by URNA. Like the Holdings guarantees, the guarantees of the guarantor subsidiaries are subject to subordination provisions (to the same extent that the obligations of the issuer under the relevant notes are subordinated to other debt of the issuer) and to a standard limitation which provides that the maximum amount guaranteed by each guarantor will not exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed without making the guarantee void under fraudulent conveyance laws.
All of the existing guarantees by Holdings and the guarantor subsidiaries rank equally in right of payment with all of the guarantors' existing and future senior indebtedness. The secured indebtedness of Holdings and the guarantor subsidiaries (including guarantees of URNA’s existing and future secured indebtedness) will rank effectively senior to guarantees of any unsecured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. Future guarantees of subordinated indebtedness will rank junior to any existing and future senior indebtedness of the guarantors. The guarantees of URNA’s indebtedness are effectively junior to any indebtedness of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors, including our foreign subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2023, the indebtedness of our non-guarantors was comprised of (i) $879 of outstanding borrowings by the SPV in connection with the Company’s accounts receivable securitization facility, (ii) $117 of outstanding borrowings under the ABL facility by non-guarantor subsidiaries and (iii) $8 of finance leases of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.
Covenants in the ABL facility, accounts receivable securitization and term loan facilities, and the other agreements governing our debt, impose operating and financial restrictions on URNA, Holdings and the guarantor subsidiaries, including limitations on the ability to make share repurchases and dividend payments. As of March 31, 2023, the amount available for distribution under the most restrictive of these covenants was $1.158 billion. The Company’s total available capacity for making share repurchases and dividend payments includes the intercompany receivable balance of Holdings. As of March 31, 2023, our total available capacity for making share repurchases and dividend payments, which includes URNA’s capacity to make restricted payments and the intercompany receivable balance of Holdings, was $6.185 billion.
Based on our understanding of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X ("Rule 3-10"), we believe that Holdings’ guarantees of URNA indebtedness comply with the conditions set forth in Rule 3-10, which enable us to present summarized financial information for Holdings, URNA and the consolidated guarantor subsidiaries in accordance with Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X. The summarized financial information excludes the financial information of the non-guarantor subsidiaries. In accordance with Rule 3-10, separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries have not been presented. Our presentation below excludes the investment in the non-guarantor subsidiaries and the related income from the non-guarantor subsidiaries.
The summarized financial information of Holdings, URNA and the guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis is as follows:

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk primarily consists of (i) interest rate risk associated with our variable and fixed rate debt and (ii) foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with our Canadianforeign operations.
Interest Rate Risk. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, we had an aggregate of $1.1$3.8 billion of indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates, comprised of borrowings under the ABL, facility and the accounts receivable securitization, facility.term loan and repurchase facilities. The amount of variable rate indebtedness outstanding under the ABL facility and accounts receivable securitization facilitythese facilities may fluctuate significantly. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" abovenote 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the amounts outstanding, and the interest rates thereon, as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 under the ABL facility and the accounts receivable securitization facility.these facilities. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, based upon the amount of our variable rate debt outstanding, our annual after-tax earnings would decrease by approximately $7$28 for each one percentage point increase in the interest rates applicable to our variable rate debt.
At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, we had an aggregate of $7.3$7.9 billion of indebtedness that bears interest at fixed rates. A one percentage point decrease in market interest rates as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 would increase the fair value of our fixed rate indebtedness by approximately seven percent.six percent.
