Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting 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, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 17, 2026.
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, accounting for income taxes, and valuation of an earnout receivable, among others.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Herc Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries. In the event that the Company is a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the variable interest entity are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company accounts for investments in joint ventures using the equity method when it has significant influence but not control and is not the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Disclosure Rules
Adopted
Improvements to Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)" ("ASU 2025-06"), which is intended to modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs by removing the previous "development stage" model and introducing a model that aligns with current software development methods, such as the agile approach. Capitalization of eligible costs begins when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used for the function intended. The Company early adopted this guidance prospectively on January 1, 2026 and it did not have an impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Not Yet Adopted
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)" ("ASU 2024-03"), which is intended to improve the disclosures about a public entity's expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-03 should be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 3—Revenue Recognition
The Company is principally engaged in the business of renting equipment. Ancillary to the Company’s principal equipment rental business, the Company also sells used rental equipment, new equipment and parts and supplies and offers certain services to support its customers. The Company operates in North America with revenue from the United States representing 94.6% and 94.7% of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to 93.5% and 93.6% for the same periods in 2025.
The Company’s rental transactions are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842, Leases ("Topic 842"). The Company’s sale of rental and new equipment, parts and supplies along with certain services provided to customers are accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"). The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for such products or services.
The following summarizes the applicable accounting guidance for the Company’s revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in millions):

Topic 842 Revenues
Equipment Rental Revenue
The Company offers a broad portfolio of equipment for rent on 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 withinone 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 represents a distinct performance obligation and is recognized upon satisfaction of that performance obligation, which occurs when the services are performed.
Sales of Rental Equipment, New Equipment, Parts and Supplies
The Company sells its used rental equipment, new equipment, parts and supplies. Revenues recorded for each category are as follows (in millions):
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |
| Sales of rental equipment | $110 | $106 | $248 | $211 |
| Sales of new equipment | 4 | 7 | 10 | 12 |
| Sales of parts and supplies | 8 | 10 | 15 | 16 |
| Total | $122 | $123 | $273 | $239 |
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 credit losses, for the sale of rental equipment, new equipment, parts and supplies, was approximately $40 million and $41 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 credit losses that reflect the Company's estimate of the amount of receivables that the Company will be unable to collect based on its historical write-off experience.
The Company does not have material contract assets or contract liabilities associated with customer contracts. The Company's contracts with customers do not generally result in material amounts billed to customers in excess of recognizable revenue. The Company did not recognize material revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 that was included in the contract liability balance as of the beginning of each period.
Performance Obligations
Most of the Company's revenue recognized under Topic 606 is recognized at a point-in-time, rather than over time. Accordingly, in any particular period, the Company does not generally recognize a significant amount of revenue from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods, and the amount of such revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 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 June 30, 2026.
Contract Estimates and Judgments
The Company's revenues accounted for under Topic 606 generally do not require significant estimates or judgments, primarily for the following reasons:
The transaction price is generally fixed and stated on the Company's contracts;
As noted above, the Company's contracts generally do not include multiple performance obligations, and accordingly do not generally require estimates of the standalone selling price for each performance obligation;
The Company's revenues do not include material amounts of variable consideration; and
Most of the Company's revenue is recognized as of a point-in-time and the timing of the satisfaction of the applicable performance obligations is readily determinable. As noted above, the revenue recognized under Topic 606 is generally recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer.
The Company monitors and reviews its estimated standalone selling prices on a regular basis.
Note 4—Rental Equipment
Rental equipment consists of the following (in millions):
| June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|---|
| Rental equipment | $8,695 | $8,407 |
| Less: Accumulated depreciation | (2,796) | (2,527) |
| Rental equipment, net | $5,899 | $5,880 |
Note 5—Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method as defined in ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ("Topic 805"). Under this method of accounting, the purchase price allocations below reflect the estimated fair values, net of tax, of the respective assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
On June 2, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of H&E Equipment Services, Inc. ("H&E") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 19, 2025 (the "Merger Agreement"). H&E was a full-service equipment rental company that provided its customers with a mix of high-quality general rental fleet including aerial, earthmoving, material handling, and other lines of equipment. H&E served a diverse mix of customers across both construction and industrial markets through its network of approximately 160 branches in over 30 U.S. states. The acquisition (i) added scale and density in key rental regions, particularly in several of the largest rental regions in North America; (ii) created cross-sell opportunities of specialty equipment to an expanded customer base and (iii) increased availability of aerial, material handling and earthmoving equipment for the Company's customers.
The Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of H&E in exchange for $78.75 in cash and 0.1287 shares of Company common stock on a per-H&E share basis. The total purchase price for the acquisition was $4.8 billion including cash payment of $2.9 billion and the issuance of approximately 4.7 million of the Company's common shares to H&E's shareholders, valued at $584 million. Additionally, the Company paid cash to extinguish $1.4 billion of outstanding H&E debt that was not assumed as part of the acquisition. The acquisition was funded by issuance of new debt consisting of $2.8 billion in senior unsecured notes, a $750 million term loan facility and $2.5 billion of borrowings on a new asset based revolving credit facility, of which approximately $1.6 billion was used to repay borrowings on the prior asset based revolving credit facility. Additional information on the financing associated and equity issued with the H&E acquisition is included in Note 11, "Debt" and Note 19, "Equity and Earnings (Loss) Per Share" to the Company's financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively.
The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):
| H&E | |
|---|---|
| Cash | $5 |
| Accounts receivable | 187 |
| Other current assets | 22 |
| Rental equipment | 1,781 |
| Property and equipment | 288 |
| Right-of-use lease assets | 567 |
| Customer relationships intangible | 1,190 |
| Total identifiable assets acquired | 4,040 |
| Current liabilities | 173 |
| Operating lease liabilities | 567 |
| Finance lease liabilities | 7 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | 648 |
| Net identifiable assets acquired | 2,645 |
| Goodwill | 2,171 |
| Net assets acquired | $4,816 |
The customer relationships intangible has an expected life of 10 years. The level of goodwill that resulted from the acquisition is primarily reflective of operational synergies the Company expects to achieve that are not associated with the identifiable assets, the value of H&E's assembled workforce and new customer relationships expected to arise from the acquisition. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
During the first half of 2026, management finalized the opening balance sheet and recorded measurement period adjustments to various accounts, which resulted in a decrease to goodwill of $12 million. The adjustments were primarily related to the reversal of accrued liabilities and deferred income taxes.
The assets and liabilities for H&E were recorded as of June 2, 2025 and the results of operations have been included in the Company's consolidated results of operations since that date. It is not practicable to reasonably estimate the amount of revenue and earnings of H&E since acquisition date, primarily due to the movement of fleet between Herc locations and the acquired H&E locations, as well as the corporate structure and the allocation of corporate costs.

Note 7—Leases
The Company leases real estate, office equipment and service vehicles. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of up to 21 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 25 years. The Company determines the lease term used to record each lease by including the initial lease term and, in the case where there are options to extend, will include the option to extend if it has determined that it is reasonably certain that the Company would exercise those options.
The Company also leases certain equipment that it rents to its customers where the payments vary based upon the amount of time the equipment is on rent. There are no fixed payments on these leases and, therefore, no lease liability or ROU assets have been recorded. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The components of lease expense consist of the following (in millions):

(a)The AR Facility is excluded from current maturities of long-term debt as the Company has the intent and ability to fund the AR Facility's borrowings on a long-term basis either by further extending the maturity date of the AR Facility or by utilizing the capacity available at the balance sheet date under the ABL Credit Facility.
(b) Unamortized debt issuance costs totaling $10 million and $12 million related to the ABL Credit Facility and AR Facility as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, are included in "Other long-term assets" in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The effective interest rates for the fixed rate 2029 Notes, 2030 Notes, 2031 Notes, 2033 Notes, and 2034 Notes (collectively, the "Senior Notes") include the stated interest on the notes and the amortization of any debt issuance costs. The effective interest rate for the variable rate Term Loan Facility includes the stated interest on the loan and the amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs.
During the second quarter, there were no material changes to the terms of the Company's debt instruments, with the exception of the accounts receivable securitization facility (the "AR Facility") which was amended in May 2026 to increase the aggregate commitments from $475 million to $500 million.
Additional information on the Company's debt instruments is included in Note 11, "Debt" to the Company's financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Letters of Credit and Surety-Backed Letters of Credit
As of June 30, 2026, $33 million of standby letters of credit were issued and outstanding, none of which have been drawn upon. The ABL Credit Facility had $217 million available under the letter of credit facility sublimit, subject to borrowing base restrictions.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $14 million of surety-backed letters of credit outstanding that replaced certain insurance related bank letters of credit and the Company's available borrowing capacity under the ABL Credit Facility increased accordingly.
Borrowing Capacity and Availability
After outstanding borrowings, the following was available to the Company under the ABL Credit Facility and AR Facility as of June 30, 2026 (in millions):

Note 9—Financing Obligations
In prior years, Herc entered into sale-leaseback transactions pursuant to which it sold 44 properties located in the U.S. and certain service vehicles. The sale of the properties and service vehicles did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting; therefore, the book value of the assets remain on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company's financing obligations consist of the following (in millions):

Note 10—Income Taxes
Income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $5 million and $6 million, respectively, compared to a benefit of $11 million and $1 million in the same periods of 2025, respectively. The income tax provision in the current periods was primarily driven by the level of pretax income (loss), certain non-deductible expenses and foreign tax assessments, partially offset by tax credits.

Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
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 15, "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.
Note 13—Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market or, if none exists, the most advantageous market, for the specific asset or liability at the measurement date (referred to as the "exit price"). Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including consideration of nonperformance risk.
The Company assesses the inputs used to measure fair value using the three-tier hierarchy promulgated under U.S. GAAP. This hierarchy indicates the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
Level 1: Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are observable.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable to the extent that observable inputs are not available for the asset or liability at the measurement date and include management's judgment about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The fair value of cash, 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 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 measures the fair value of cash equivalents using a market approach based on quoted prices in active markets. The Company had $7 million in cash equivalents at June 30, 2026 and $14 million at December 31, 2025.
Debt Obligations
The fair values of the Company's ABL Credit Facility, AR Facility and finance lease liabilities approximated their book values as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The fair value of the Company's Notes and Term Loan Facility are estimated based on quoted market rates as well as borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities (Level 2 inputs) (in millions).

| Term Loan Facility | 746 | 748 | 750 | 751 |
| Total Notes and Term Loan | $5,496 | $5,610 | $5,500 | $5,702 |
Cinelease Earnout Receivable
The Company made an accounting policy election to record the earnout receivable related to the Cinelease divestiture at fair value at inception, and it is categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. In addition, any subsequent fair value adjustments to the earnout receivable will be recorded within operating income in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The earnout receivable of $32 million is recorded within other long-term assets in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company evaluated the fair value of the earnout receivable as of June 30, 2026 and concluded thatno adjustments to the recorded fair value were necessary during the six months ended June 30, 2026. The earnout is based on eligible Cinelease revenue reported during 2027 and 2028 that will primarily be paid in 2028 and 2029, with deferrals available into 2031 if certain earnout thresholds are met. The earnout receivable has been recorded at fair value using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. This model incorporated the contractual terms regarding timing of payment and the significant unobservable inputs of revenue forecasts for Cinelease, the discount rate, and the probability outcome percentage assigned to each scenario. The estimated fair value is based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are uncertain and involve significant judgment by management. Favorable or unfavorable changes in expectations of achieving the performance metrics would result in corresponding increases or decreases in the fair value measurement, while increases or decreases in the discount rate would have inverse impacts on the fair value measurement.
Note 14—Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share (in millions, except per share data).

Note 15—Arrangements with New Hertz
On June 30, 2016, the Company, in its previous form as the holding company of both the existing equipment rental operations as well as the former vehicle rental operations (in its form prior to the Spin-Off, "Hertz Holdings"), completed a spin-off (the "Spin-Off") of its global vehicle rental business through a dividend to stockholders of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Hertz Rental Car Holding Company, Inc., which was re-named Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. ("New Hertz") in connection with the Spin-Off. New Hertz is an independent public company and continues to operate its global vehicle rental business through its operating subsidiaries including The Hertz Corporation ("THC").
In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into a separation and distribution agreement (the "Separation Agreement") with New Hertz. In connection therewith, the Company also entered into various other ancillary agreements with New Hertz to effect the Spin-Off and provide a framework for its relationship with New Hertz. The following summarizes some of the most significant agreements and relationships that Herc Holdings continues to have with New Hertz.
Separation and Distribution Agreement
The Separation Agreement sets forth the Company's agreements with New Hertz regarding the principal actions taken in connection with the Spin-Off. It also sets forth other agreements that govern aspects of the Company's relationship with New Hertz following the Spin-Off including (i) the manner in which legal matters and claims are allocated and certain liabilities are shared between the Company and New Hertz; (ii) other matters including transfers of assets and liabilities, treatment or termination of intercompany arrangements and releases of certain claims between the parties and their affiliates; (iii) mutual indemnification clauses; and (iv) allocation of Spin-Off expenses between the parties.
Tax Matters Agreement
The Company entered into a tax matters agreement with New Hertz that governs the parties' rights, responsibilities and obligations after the Spin-Off with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, tax contests and other tax matters regarding income taxes, other taxes and related tax returns.
Note 16—Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company's CODM has been identified as its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO").
The Company considered guidance in ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, and used the management approach in determining its reportable segment. The Company has determined that it hasone operating segment and reportable segment: equipment rental.
The equipment rental segment derives revenues from customers by renting equipment from the Company's fleet, which includes aerial, earthmoving, material handling, trucks and trailers, air compressors, compaction, lighting as well as its ProSolutions products and ProContractor tools. The Company’s broad portfolio of equipment for rent is fungible and can be deployed throughout the geographies where the Company does business.
Performance and resource allocation, particularly the amount and timing of new equipment purchases, are evaluated by the CODM using net income. Net income is also used when determining other capital allocation priorities such as completing acquisitions, paying dividends or repurchasing Company shares. Net income from the equipment rental segment is reported on the consolidated statement of operations as net income. Additionally, the measures of segment assets are reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total assets and rental equipment, net, which is further disclosed in Note 4, "Rental Equipment."
There are no significant segment expenses other than those presented on the consolidated statement of operations and the Company does not have intra-entity sales.
