2023 Investor Day Presentation
Historical Adjusted Earnings Per Share GAAP Reconciliation
(cont'd)
(1) We have made a number of acquisitions in the past and may continue to make acquisitions in the future. Merger related costs only include costs associated with major
acquisitions that significantly impacted our operations (the "major acquisitions," each of which had annual revenues of over $200 million prior to acquisition).
(2) Reflects the amortization of the intangible assets acquired in the major acquisitions.
(3) Reflects the impact of extending the useful lives of equipment acquired in certain major acquisitions, net of the impact of additional depreciation associated with the fair
value mark-up of such equipment.
(4) Reflects additional costs recorded in cost of rental equipment sales associated with the fair value mark-up of rental equipment acquired in certain major acquisitions and
subsequently sold.
(5) In March 2012, we issued $2.825 billion of debt in connection with the RSC acquisition. The pre-close RSC merger related interest expense reflects the interest expense
recorded on this debt prior to the acquisition of RSC on April 30, 2012.
(6) Reflects a reduction of interest expense associated with the fair value mark-up of debt acquired in the RSC acquisition.
(7) 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 six restructuring programs. In the first quarter of
2023, we initiated a restructuring program following the closing of the Ahern Rentals acquisition, which is our only open restructuring program as of March 31, 2023. We
have cumulatively incurred total restructuring charges of $353 million under our restructuring programs.
(8) Primarily reflects write-offs of leasehold improvements and other fixed assets.
(9) Reflects gains/losses on the extinguishment of certain debt securities, including subordinated convertible debentures, and write-offs of debt issuance costs associated
with amendments to our debt facilities. In 2013, we retired all outstanding subordinated convertible debentures.
(10) Reflects a gain recognized upon the sale of a former subsidiary that developed and marketed software.
(11) The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), which was enacted in December 2017, reduced the U.S. federal corporate statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%. The benefit
in 2017 reflects an aggregate benefit of $689 million, or $8.05 per diluted share, reflecting 1) a one-time non-cash tax benefit reflecting the revaluation of our net
deferred tax liability using a U.S. federal corporate statutory tax rate of 21% and 2) a one-time transition tax on our unremitted foreign earnings and profits. Periods
subsequent to 2017 reflect the lower 21% U. S. federal corporate statutory tax rate.
(12) Total revenue is provided for context.
