Primarily reflects severance and branch closure charges associated with our restructuring programs. 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
restructuring program was initiated in 2008, we have completed seven restructuring programs. In the first quarter of
2023, we initiated a restructuring program following the closing of the Ahern Rentals acquisition, and this program
was completed in the fourth quarter of 2023. There are no open restructuring programs as of December 31, 2023.
The increase in 2023 reflects charges associated with the restructuring program initiated following the closing of
the Ahern Rentals acquisition. We have cumulatively incurred total restructuring charges of $380 million under our
restructuring programs.

Reflects additional costs recorded in cost of rental equipment sales
associated with the fair value mark-up of rental equipment acquired

2023 primarily reflects the impact of the Ahern Rentals acquisition.

and the total purchase price of the redeemed notes.
