2022 Financial Outlook
Historical EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA GAAP
Reconciliations ($M) (cont'd)
(1) In 2013, we retired all outstanding subordinated convertible debentures.
(2) 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 the major acquisitions that significantly impacted our
operations (the "major acquisitions," each of which had annual revenues of over $200 million prior to acquisition).
(3) Primarily reflects severance and branch closure charges associated with our closed restructuring programs. We only include such costs that are part of a restructuring program as restructuring charges. Since the first such
restructuring program was initiated in 2008, we have completed six restructuring programs. As of June 30, 2022, there were no open restructuring programs. We have cumulatively incurred total restructuring charges of
$353 million under our restructuring programs.
(4) In the third quarter of 2008 we settled, without admitting or denying the allegations in the SEC's complaint, to the entry of a judgment requiring us to pay a civil penalty of $14 million associated with an SEC inquiry into our
historical accounting practices.
(5) We recognized a goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2008 that reflected the challenges of the construction cycle, as well as the broader economic and credit environment. Substantially all of the impairment
charge related to goodwill arising out of acquisitions made between 1997 and 2000.
(6) 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.
(7) Reflects a gain recognized upon the sale of a former subsidiary that developed and marketed software.
(8) Represents non-cash, share-based payments associated with the granting of equity instruments.
(9) We first reported the reconciliation between net cash provided by operating activities and EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in 2011, and 2009 is the earliest reported period with such a reconciliation. The presentation of our
statement of cash flows for periods prior to 2009 differs from the presentation used in 2011, on account of which the information required to prepare the reconciliation between net cash provided by operating activities and
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for periods prior to 2009 is unavailable without unreasonable effort.
(10) In 2018, we adopted accounting guidance that addressed the cash flow presentation for proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims. Adoption of this guidance decreased net cash provided by operating activities,
relative to previously reported amounts, but did not change EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA for 2017, 2016 and 2015 in the table above. The information required to determine the amount of insurance proceeds for periods
prior to 2015 is unavailable without unreasonable effort. The insurance proceeds do not impact EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA.
(11) The excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements result from stock-based compensation windfall deductions in excess of the amounts reported for financial reporting purposes. We adopted accounting
guidance in 2017 that changed the cash flow presentation of excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements. In the table above, the excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements for periods
after 2016 are presented as a component of net cash provided by operating activities, while, for 2015 and 2016, they are presented as a separate line item.
