The earnings call reflected a positive outlook with strong rental revenue growth and successful acquisition integration. However, challenges remain with legacy H&E revenue declines and high leverage costs due to the acquisition.

Company Guidance

During the Herc Holdings Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Call, the company provided detailed guidance on various financial metrics and strategic initiatives following its acquisition of H&E Equipment Services. The call highlighted a projected equipment rental revenue of $3.7 billion to $3.9 billion for 2025, incorporating six months of H&E's results. Adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be between $1.8 billion and $1.9 billion, translating to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 42% to 43%. The company maintained its net fleet CapEx guidance at $400 million to $600 million, despite increasing gross CapEx for synergy fleet. Additionally, adjusted free cash flow is expected to be $400 million to $500 million, benefiting from a $130 million cash tax benefit. Herc Holdings aims to achieve $125 million in cost synergies by year-end 2025 and $350 million in revenue synergies over three years, focusing on leveraging the H&E acquisition to drive long-term growth while pausing other M&A initiatives.
