Significant Accounting Policies | (2) Significant Accounting Policies We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no significant changes to those accounting policies. Use of Estimates We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. These assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes in facts and circumstances may cause us to revise these estimates. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material impact on previously reported amounts. Revenue Recognition We recognize revenue in accordance with two different Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) standards: 1) Topic 606 and 2) Topic 842. Under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue 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. Our contracts with customers generally do not include multiple performance obligations. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services. Under Topic 842, Leases, we account for equipment rental contracts as operating leases. We recognize revenue from equipment rentals in the period earned, regardless of the timing of billing to customers. A rental contract includes rates for daily, weekly or monthly use, and rental revenues are earned on a daily basis as rental contracts remain outstanding. Because the rental contracts can extend across multiple reporting periods, we record unbilled rental revenues and deferred rental revenues at the end of reporting periods so rental revenues earned is appropriately stated for the periods presented. In the table below, revenues as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are summarized by type and by the applicable accounting standard. Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Topic 842 Topic 606 Total Topic 842 Topic 606 Total Revenues: Rental revenues Owned equipment rentals $ 253,298 $ 122 $ 253,420 $ 223,580 $ 137 $ 223,717 Re-rent revenue 8,321 — 8,321 8,359 — 8,359 Ancillary and other rental revenues: Delivery and pick-up — 18,607 18,607 — 15,491 15,491 Other 14,977 — 14,977 14,441 — 14,441 Total ancillary rental revenues 14,977 18,607 33,584 14,441 15,491 29,932 Total equipment rental revenues 276,596 18,729 295,325 246,380 15,628 262,008 Sales of rental equipment — 48,115 48,115 — 32,115 32,115 Sales of new equipment — 10,412 10,412 — 7,818 7,818 Parts, service and other — 17,505 17,505 — 20,541 20,541 Total revenues $ 276,596 $ 94,761 $ 371,357 $ 246,380 $ 76,102 $ 322,482 Revenues by reporting segment are presented in Note 11 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe that the disaggregation of our revenues from contracts to customers as reflected above, coupled with further discussion below and the reporting segments in Note 11, depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. For further information related to our accounting for revenues pursuant to Topic 606 and Topic 842, see Significant Accounting Policies in Note 2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Receivables and contract assets and liabilities We manage credit risk associated with our accounts receivables at the customer level. Because the same customers typically generate the revenues that are accounted for under both Topic 606 and Topic 842, the discussions below on credit risk and our allowance for doubtful accounts address our total revenues from Topic 606 and Topic 842. We believe concentration of credit risk with respect to our receivables is limited because our customer base is comprised of a large number of geographically diverse customers. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues for any of the periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We manage credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and other monitoring procedures. Pursuant to Topic 842 and Topic 326 for rental and non-rental receivables, respectively, we maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our estimate of our expected credit losses. Our allowance is estimated using a loss rate model based on delinquency. The estimated loss rate is based on our historical experience with specific customers, our understanding of our current economic circumstances, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and our own judgment as to the likelihood of ultimate payment based upon available data. Our largest exposure to doubtful accounts is in our rental operations, which as discussed above is accounted for under Topic 842 and represents 75 % of our total revenues and an approximate corresponding percentage of our receivables, net and associated allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2024. We perform credit evaluations of customers and establish credit limits based on reviews of our customers’ current credit information and payment histories. We believe our credit risk is somewhat mitigated by our geographically diverse customer base and our credit evaluation procedures. The actual rate of future credit losses, however, may not be similar to past experience. Our estimate of doubtful accounts could 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 for doubtful accounts. Bad debt expense as a percentage of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was approximately 0.4 % and 0.3 %, respectively. We do not have material contract assets, impairment losses associated therewith, or material contract liabilities associated with contracts with customers. Our contracts with customers do not generally result in material amounts billed to customers in excess of recognizable revenue. We did not recognize material revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023 that was included in the contract liability balance as of the beginning of such periods. Goodwill Goodwill is recorded as the excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. The change to the carrying amount of goodwill for the period ended March 31, 2024 is as follows (amounts in thousands): Equipment Rentals Sales of Rental Eq. Parts Sales Total Balance at December 31, 2022 (1) $ 88,529 $ 8,447 $ 5,714 $ 102,690 Increase (2) 29 — — 29 Decrease (3) — — ( 5,714 ) ( 5,714 ) Decrease (4) ( 132 ) — — ( 132 ) Increase (5) 11,282 — — 11,282 Balance at December 31, 2023 (1) 99,708 8,447 — 108,155 Increase (6) 17,536 — — 17,536 Decrease (7) ( 100 ) — — ( 100 ) Balance at March 31, 2024 (1) $ 117,144 $ 8,447 $ — $ 125,591 (1) The total carrying amount of goodwill as of December 31, 2022 in the table above is reflected net of $ 92.7 million of accumulated impairment charges. The total carrying amount of goodwill as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 in the table above is reflected net of $ 98.4 million of accumulated impairment charges. (2) Increase is related to the closing adjustments of the OSR Acquisition during the first quarter of 2023. (3) Decrease is related to the Parts Sales goodwill impairment calculated during the third quarter of 2023. (4) Decrease is related to the final closing adjustment of the OSR Acquisition during the third quarter of 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Segment Reporting In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves the disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and addresses requests for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The amendments in this ASU require disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities. The amendments are effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for the interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-07 became effective on January 1, 2024 and is no t expected to have an impact on our financial statements, but will result in expanded reportable segment disclosures. Income Taxes In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which should improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The ASU requires that public entities on an annual basis disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and the following information about income taxes paid: the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes and the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. Lastly, the amendments in this ASU require that entities disclose income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. ASU 2023-09 becomes effective January 1, 2025 and is not expected to have an impact on our financial statements, but will result in expanded tax disclosures. |
