## Exhibit 99.2

**Exhibit 99.2** 

**UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION** 

**Introduction** 

On June 2, 2025, Herc Holdings Inc. (the "Company") completed the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of H&E Equipment Services, Inc. ("H&E") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 19, 2025, by and among the Company, HR Merger Sub Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and H&E (the "Merger Agreement").

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations is presented as if the Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2024, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflect the following pro forma adjustments related to the Acquisition, based on available information and certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, with Herc identified as the
acquirer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• certain reclassification adjustments to conform H&E's historical financial presentation to Herc's
financial statements presentation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the assumption of liabilities by Herc for any remaining transaction-related expenses to be incurred; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the estimated tax impact of pro forma adjustments.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Herc's unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended
September 30, 2025 and 2024 in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Herc's audited historical condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2024 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• H&E's unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended
March 31, 2025 in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• H&E's audited historical financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 in the Annual
Report on Form 10-K of H&E for the year ended December 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• H&E's unaudited historical financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 in
the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

The allocation of the purchase price used in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the related income tax impact of the acquisition accounting adjustments. The purchase price was preliminarily allocated based on information available at the acquisition date and is subject to change as the analysis of the fair values at the date of the acquisition is completed. Certain estimated fair values for the acquisition, including goodwill, intangible assets, right-of-use lease assets, lease liabilities and income taxes, are not yet finalized. The pro forma adjustments included herein may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.

Accordingly, the final purchase accounting adjustments may be materially different from the pro forma adjustments presented herein. Increases or decreases in the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities. This may impact the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations due to an increase or decrease in the amount of amortization or depreciation of the adjusted assets, among other items.

------

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only, and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the Acquisition had been consummated on the date indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of any future operating results or financial position.

Although the Acquisition has been consummated as of the date of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, there can be no assurance that we will realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Acquisition or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected. See "*Risk Factors*" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Herc for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Herc for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, for additional discussion of risk factors associated with the pro forma financial information.

**Items Not Reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information** 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2024 do not include the realization of any potential profit improvement, cost savings from operating efficiencies, synergies or other restructuring activities that might result from the Acquisition as of the date of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 include cost savings from operating efficiencies and synergies to the extent realized and other recognized restructuring activities since the acquisition date. Further, there may be additional charges related to the restructuring or other integration activities resulting from the Acquisition, the timing, nature and amount of which management cannot identify as of the date of this filing, and thus, such charges are not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

**(In millions, except per share data)** 

**Note 1 - Basis of Pro Forma Presentation** 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Herc and H&E and gives pro forma effect to the events that are directly attributable to the Acquisition and are factually supportable. The unaudited proforma condensed combined statement of operations gives effect to the Acquisition as if the Acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2024.

The transaction is being accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the allocation of the preliminary purchase price is based upon management's estimates of and assumptions related to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of June 2, 2025, using currently available information. Certain estimated fair values for the acquisition, including goodwill, intangible assets, right-of-use lease assets, lease liabilities and income taxes, are not yet finalized as of the preparation date of the pro forma information. The pro forma adjustments included herein may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. Due to the fact that the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final purchase price allocation and the resulting effect on Herc's financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included herein. Herc expects to finalize its allocation of the purchase consideration as soon as practicable after Acquisition.

The preliminary fair value assessment of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

financing transactions executed in June 2025 related to the Acquisition. Herc financed the transactions in the Merger Agreement with a combination of newly issued debt and/or borrowings and drawings using existing capacity under its existing ABL

eliminated and interest expense was calculated for new borrowings based on the borrowings rates applicable to the financing transactions, including a weighted-average borrowing rate of 6.6 percent on long-term debt.
