Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 23, 2025, United Rentals, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release reporting its results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. A copy of the press release is being furnished with this report as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Certain information concerning our business, financial results and 2025 outlook that the Company expects to use at certain investor meetings and presentations can be accessed currently on the Company’s website, www.unitedrentals.com. Such information will be maintained on the Company’s website for at least the period of its use at such meetings and presentations or until superseded by more current information.

The presentation includes certain financial measures - free cash flow, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share (“adjusted EPS”) - that are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less payments for purchases of, and plus proceeds from, equipment and intangible assets, and plus excess tax benefits from share-based payment arrangements. The equipment and intangible asset items are included in cash flows from investing activities. EBITDA represents the sum of net income, provision (benefit) for income taxes, interest expense, net, interest expense-subordinated convertible debentures, net, depreciation of rental equipment and non-rental depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus stock compensation expense, net, and the impact of the defined special items. Adjusted EPS represents diluted EPS plus the impact of the defined special items.

The presentation includes reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest generally accepted accounting principles financial measures. The Company believes that: (i) free cash flow provides useful additional information concerning cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements; (ii) EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information about operating performance and period-over-period growth, and help investors gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our ongoing cash earnings, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced; and (iii) adjusted EPS provides useful information concerning future profitability. However, none of these measures should be considered as alternatives to net income, cash flows from operating activities or earnings per share under GAAP as indicators of operating performance or liquidity.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On July 23, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved, after consideration of the expected cash flow benefit associated with newly enacted federal tax legislation, an increase in the size of the Company's current share repurchase program, from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion. The Company intends to repurchase $1.65 billion under the program in 2025 (inclusive of $417 million repurchased through June 30, 2025), with the remaining $350 million under the program carried into 2026.
