CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 (this "Report") includes "forward-looking statements," as that term is defined by the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our business plans and strategy, projected profitability, performance or cash flows, future capital expenditures, our growth strategy, including our ability to grow organically and through M&A, anticipated financing needs, business trends, the impact of and our response to COVID-19, our capital allocation strategy, liquidity and capital management and other information that is not historical information. Forward looking statements are generally identified by the words "estimates," "expects," "anticipates," "projects," "plans," "intends," "believes," "forecasts," "looks," and future or conditional verbs, such as "will," "should," "could" or "may," as well as variations of such words or similar expressions. All forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions and apply only as of the date of this Report. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that our expectations, beliefs and projections will be achieved.

There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those suggested by our forward-looking statements, including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 under Item 1A "Risk Factors," in Part II, Item 1A of this Report, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by such cautionary statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements that have been made to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation and ~~Recently Issued~~Significant Accounting ~~Pronouncements~~Policies

Basis of Presentation

The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, however, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for complete annual financial statements and, accordingly, certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, filed with the SEC on February ~~18, 2021.~~10, 2022.

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

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

Topic 842 revenues

Equipment Rental Revenue

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

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

Other

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

Topic 606 revenues

Delivery and pick-up

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

Sales of Rental Equipment, New Equipment, Parts and Supplies

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

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

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

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

Under Topic 606, the accounts receivable balance, prior to allowances for doubtful accounts, for the sale of rental equipment, new equipment, parts and supplies, was approximately ~~$12.1~~$7.0 million and ~~$13.8~~$11.1 million as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Service and other revenues

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

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

Receivables and contract assets and liabilities

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

The Company does not have material contract assets or contract liabilities associated with customer contracts. The Company's contracts with customers do not generally result in material amounts billed to customers in excess of recognizable revenue. The Company did not recognize material revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 that was included in the contract liability balance as of the beginning of each such period.

Performance obligations

Most of the Company's revenue recognized under Topic 606 is recognized at a point-in-time, rather than over time. Accordingly, in any particular period, the Company does not generally recognize a significant amount of revenue from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods, and the amount of such revenue recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 was not material. We also do not expect to recognize material revenue in the future related to performance obligations that ~~are~~were unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Contract estimates and judgments

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

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

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

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

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

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

The ABL Credit Facility ~~matures~~was also amended to include a provision that the Company, in consultation with a Sustainability Coordinator, may establish key performance indicators (“KPIs”) with respect to certain environmental, social and governance targets of the Company and its subsidiaries, which if mutually agreed, may be incorporated into the ABL Credit Facility through an amendment (an “ESG Amendment”). Upon the effectiveness of an ESG Amendment, the commitment fee and the spreads applicable to revolving loans may be increased or decreased within certain limits based on ~~July 31, 2024.~~ performance against the KPIs.

Additional information about the ABL Credit Facility is included in Note 11, "Debt" to the Company's financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility

In September 2018, the Company entered into an accounts receivable securitization facility (the "AR Facility"). The AR Facility was amended in August ~~2021~~2022 to extend the maturity date to August 31, ~~2022 and~~2023, increase the aggregate commitments from ~~$175~~$250 million to ~~$200 million.~~$300 million and to replace LIBOR as a benchmark rate with Term SOFR. In connection with the AR Facility, Herc and one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries sell their accounts receivables on an ongoing basis to Herc Receivables U.S. LLC, a wholly-owned special-purpose entity (the "SPE"). The SPE's sole business consists of the purchase by the SPE of accounts receivable from Herc and the Herc subsidiary seller and borrowing by the SPE against the eligible accounts receivable from the lenders under the facility. The borrowings are secured by liens on the accounts receivable and other assets of the SPE. Collections on the accounts receivable are used to service the borrowings. The SPE is a separate legal entity that is consolidated in the Company's financial statements. The SPE assets are owned by the SPE and are not available to settle the obligations of the Company or any of its other subsidiaries. Herc is the servicer of the accounts receivable under the AR Facility. All of the obligations of the Herc subsidiary seller and the servicer and certain indemnification obligations of the SPE under the agreements governing the AR Facility are guaranteed by Herc pursuant to a performance guarantee. The AR Facility is excluded from current maturities of long-term debt as the Company has the intent and ability to consummate refinancing and extend the term of the agreement.

In October 2017, Herc consummated a sale-leaseback transaction pursuant to which it sold 42 of its properties located in the U.S. for gross proceeds of approximately $119.5 million, and during the fourth quarter of 2018, entered into sale-leaseback transactions with respect to 2two additional properties for gross proceeds of $6.4 million. The sale of the properties did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting due to continuing involvement with the properties. Therefore, the book value of the buildings and land remains on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Legal Proceedings

~~In re Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. Securities Litigation~~ - In November 2013, a putative shareholder class action, Pedro Ramirez, Jr. v. Hertz Global Holdings, Inc., et al., was commenced in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey naming Hertz Holdings and certain of its officers as defendants and alleging violations of the federal securities laws. On March 31, 2021, the plaintiffs filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey a notice of voluntary dismissal with prejudice, and an order dismissing the case with prejudice was entered on April 1, 2021.

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

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

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

Indemnification Obligations

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

The Spin-Off

In connection with the Spin-Off, pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement (agreements and defined terms are discussed in Note 16, "Arrangements with New Hertz"), the Company has assumed the liability for, and control of, all pending and threatened legal matters related to its equipment rental business and related assets, as well as assumed or retained liabilities, and will indemnify New Hertz for any liability arising out of or resulting from such assumed legal matters. The separation and distribution agreement also provides for certain liabilities to be shared by the parties. The Company is responsible for a portion of these shared liabilities (typically 15%), as set forth in that agreement. New Hertz is responsible for managing the settlement or other disposition of such shared liabilities.

Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify New Hertz for any resulting taxes and related losses if the Company takes or fails to take any action (or permits any of its affiliates to take or fail to take any action) that causes the Spin-Off and related transactions to be taxable, or if there is an acquisition of the equity securities or assets of the Company or of any member of the Company’s group that causes the Spin-Off and related transactions to be taxable.

Guarantee

The Company has guaranteed an outstanding bank loan in connection with a previous joint venture. The Company has determined the maximum potential payment amount under the guarantee is approximately ~~$3.6~~$1.2 million; however, the probability of any payment is remote and therefore the Company has not recorded a liability on its balance sheet as of September 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The bank loan is collateralized by the rental equipment and other assets of the former joint venture entity and has maturities through ~~2023.~~2024.

Note ~~14—~~13—Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

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

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents, when held, primarily consist of money market accounts which are classified as Level 1 assets which the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines the fair value of cash equivalents using a

Agreements with Carl C. Icahn

The Company is subject to the Nomination and Standstill Agreement, dated September 15, 2014 (the "Nomination and Standstill Agreement"), with Carl C. Icahn and certain related entities and individuals. In connection with their appointments or nomination, as applicable, to the Company’s board of directors (the "Board"), each of ~~Jonathan Frates, Andrew N. Langham~~Hunter C. Gary, Steven D. Miller and Andrew J. Teno (collectively, the "Icahn Designees," and, together with Carl C.

In addition, pursuant to the Icahn Agreements, subject to certain restrictions and requirements, the Icahn Group will have certain replacement rights in the event an Icahn Designee resigns or is otherwise unable to serve as a director (other than as a result of not being nominated by the Company for an annual meeting).

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

Pursuant to the Icahn Agreements, the Company will not create a separate executive committee of the Board so as long as an Icahn Designee is a member of the Board. Under the Icahn Agreements, if the Icahn Group ceases to hold a “net long position,”

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

Note ~~17—~~16—Arrangements with New Hertz

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into a separation and distribution agreement (the "Separation Agreement") with New Hertz.

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

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

OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

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

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

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

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

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

Our expenses primarily consist of:

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

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

•Depreciation expense relating to rental equipment;

•Selling, general and administrative expenses;

•Non-rental depreciation and amortization; and

•Interest expense.

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

During 2021, customer demand improved as the government rolled out the distribution of vaccines and lifted COVID-19 related restrictions, which opened up local economic recovery within our industry and our business since the second quarter of 2020 and we have positioned ourselves for growth by opening greenfield locations and returning to more normalized rental equipment capital expenditures by adding fleetactivity. Demand in ~~high growth markets. Despite the recovery we are seeing,~~2022 remains strong, however, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and the economic recovery we are seeing could be slowed or reversed by a number of factors, including a widespread resurgence in COVID-19 infections, whether due to the spread of variants of the virus or otherwise, the rate and efficacy of vaccinations, labor constraints, the strength of the global supply chain, and ~~the rate in which governments are re-opening businesses or, in certain jurisdictions, reversing re-opening decisions.~~government actions. We cannot predict the extent to which our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will ultimately be impacted, however, we believe we are well-positioned to operate effectively through the present environment.

Seasonality

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

Equipment rental revenue increased ~~$117.3~~$186.6 million, or ~~29.2%~~35.9%, during the third quarter of ~~2021 when compared to the third quarter of 2020 primarily~~2022 due to higher volume of equipment on rent of ~~16.0%~~34.9% and positive pricing of ~~2.8% during the third quarter of 2021~~6.2% over the same period in the prior year.

Sales of rental equipment decreased $28.7 million, or 63.4%, during the third quarter of 2021 when compared to the third quarter of 2020. During the third quarter of 2021, the decline in volume of sales was related to the increase in utilization of rental equipment and management of the mix of rental equipment as part of our long-term strategy. The corresponding cost of sales of rental equipment as a percentage of the related revenue was 82.5% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 102.2% in the third quarter of 2020. The increase in margin on sale of rental equipment in the third quarter of 2021 was due to a larger proportion of overall volume of sales through higher margin sales channels.

Direct operating expenses in the third quarter of 2021 increased $56.5 million, or 33.4%, when compared to the third quarter of 2020 primarily related to increases in (i) personnel-related expenses of $22.1 million resulting from merit increases and bonus incentives; additionally, there were limitations on overtime and furloughs in place during the third quarter of 2020, (ii) delivery and freight expenses of $8.8 million due to an increased volume of transactions in the third quarter of 2021, (iii) maintenance expense of $6.4 million related to initiatives to service more equipment with in-house resources and (iv) re-rent expense of $11.5 million due to the corresponding increase in re-rent revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $20.5 million, or 33.6%, in the third quarter of 2021 when compared to the third quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to selling expense, including commissions and bonus incentives, of $8.5 million, general payroll and benefits increases of $3.7 million and travel expense of $2.6 million as business travel resumes.

Interest expense, net decreased $1.0 million, or 4.5%, during the third quarter of 2021 when compared with the same period in 2020 due to lower average outstanding balances and lower weighted average interest rates on the ABL Credit Facility.

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

Our liquidity as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of ~~$35.2~~$56.9 million and unused commitments of approximately ~~$1.4~~$1.5 billion under our ABL Credit Facility. See "Borrowing Capacity and Availability" below for further discussion. Our practice is to maintain sufficient liquidity through cash from operations, our ABL Credit Facility and our AR Facility to mitigate the impacts of any adverse financial market conditions on our operations. We believe that cash generated from operations and cash received from the disposal of equipment, together with amounts available under the ABL Credit Facility and the AR Facility or other financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures, and other strategic uses of cash, if any, and debt payments, if any, over the next twelve months.

Cash Flows

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

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities increased ~~$442.2~~$701.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 when compared with the prior-year period. Our primary use of cash in investing activities is for the acquisition of rental equipment, non-rental capital expenditures and acquisitions. Generally, we rotate our equipment and manage our fleet of rental equipment in line with customer demand and continue to invest in our information technology, service vehicles and facilities. Changes in our net capital expenditures are described in more detail in the "Capital Expenditures" section below. Additionally, we closed on ~~four~~16 acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021 and finalized the working capital adjustment for a prior acquisition~~2022 for a net cash outflow of ~~$225.2~~$440.9 million.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities ~~was $112.9~~increased $602.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 when compared with ~~cash used of $232.1 million in~~ the prior-year period. Financing activities primarily represents our changes in debt, which included net borrowings of ~~$127.9~~$851.6 million on our revolving lines of credit and securitization, ~~during the nine months ended of 2021,~~ which were used primarily to fund acquisitions during the period. Net ~~repayments~~borrowings in the prior year period were ~~$221.7~~$127.9 million.

In accordance with our share repurchase program that was adopted in March 2014 ("Share Repurchase Program"), we may from time to time repurchase shares in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable securities laws. We have repurchased approximately 540,000 shares during 2022 in accordance with our overall capital allocation strategy and as of September 30, 2022, $336.7 million remains available for repurchases.

In order to reduce future cash interest payments, as well as future amounts due at maturity or upon redemption, we may from time to time repurchase our debt, including our notes, bonds, loans or other indebtedness, in privately negotiated, open market

or other transactions and upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine. We will evaluate any such transactions in light of then-existing market conditions, taking into account our current liquidity and prospects for future access to capital. The repurchases may be material and could relate to a substantial proportion of a particular class or series, which could reduce the trading liquidity of such class or series.

Capital Expenditures

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

Borrowing Capacity and Availability

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

The accounts receivable and other assets of the SPE are encumbered in favor of the lenders under our AR Facility. The SPE assets are owned by the SPE and are not available to settle the obligations of the Company or any of its other subsidiaries. Substantially all of the remaining assets of Herc and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries are encumbered in favor of our lenders under our ABL Credit Facility. None of such assets are available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors. See

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

Additionally, on August 26, 2022, we amended the AR Facility to increase the aggregate commitments from $250 million to $300 million and extend the maturity to August 31, 2023. See Note 8, "Debt" included in Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" of this Report for more information.

As of September 30, ~~2021, $24.8~~2022, $25.8 million of standby letters of credit were issued and outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility, none of which have been drawn upon.

Covenants

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

Under the terms of our ABL Credit Facility, our AR Facility and our 2027 Notes, we are not subject to ongoing financial maintenance covenants; however, under the ABL Credit Facility, failure to maintain certain levels of liquidity will subject us to a contractually specified fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:1 for the four quarters most recently ended.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates (including credit spreads), foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in fuel prices.

As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, there has been no material change in the information reported under Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.
