SUMMARY
This summary highlights information appearing elsewhere in
this prospectus. You should carefully read the entire
prospectus, including the section entitled Risk
Factors, beginning on page 13 and our financial
statements and notes to those financial statements included
elsewhere in this prospectus before making any investment
decision.
Our
Company
We are one of the largest equipment rental providers in North
America. As of September 30, 2006, we operate through a
network of 452 rental locations across nine regions in the
United States and parts of Canada, including the high growth
Sunbelt and Gulf Coast regions. We believe we are the largest or
second largest equipment rental provider in the majority of the
regions in which we operate. During the eighteen months ended
September 30, 2006, we serviced approximately 480,000
customers primarily in the non-residential construction and
industrial markets. For the twelve months ended
September 30, 2006, we generated approximately 82% of our
revenues from equipment rentals, and we derived the remaining
18% of our revenues from sales of used equipment and other
related items. We believe our focus on high margin rental
revenues, active fleet management and superior customer service
has enabled us to achieve significant market share gains
exclusively through organic growth while sustaining attractive
returns on capital employed. Through September 30, 2006, we
experienced positive same store,
year-over-year
rental revenue growth for the last 13 consecutive quarters, with
same store rental revenue growth of approximately 12%, 18% and
21% and operating income growth of approximately 76%, 44% and
46% in 2004, 2005 and the nine months ended September 30,
2006, respectively.
We rent a broad selection of equipment, mainly to industrial and
non-residential construction companies, ranging from large
equipment such as backhoes, forklifts, air compressors, scissor
lifts, booms and skid-steer loaders to smaller items such as
pumps, generators, welders and electric hand tools. As of
September 30, 2006, our rental fleet had an original
equipment cost of $2.3 billion covering over 1,400
categories of equipment. We strive to differentiate our
offerings through superior levels of equipment availability,
reliability and service, and the strength of our fleet lies in
its age, condition and diversity. We believe our fleet is the
youngest and best maintained in the industry among our key
competitors, with an average fleet age of 24.6 months as of
September 30, 2006. Our young fleet age provides us with
significant operational flexibility, and we actively manage the
condition of our fleet in order to provide customers with well
maintained and reliable equipment and to support our premium
pricing strategy. Our disciplined fleet management strategy
enables us to maintain pricing discipline and optimize fleet
utilization and capital expenditures. As a result, we have a
high degree of equipment sharing and mobility within regions.
This enables us to increase equipment utilization and react
quickly by adjusting the fleet size in response to changes in
customer demand. In addition to our equipment rental operations,
we sell used equipment, parts, merchandise and supplies for
maintenance, repair and operations.
Industry
Overview
According to industry sources, the equipment rental market in
the United States was a $29.3 billion industry in 2005 and
experienced a 10.4% compound annual growth rate between 1990 and
2005. This market is expected to grow to $32.5 billion by
the end of 2007. The equipment rental industry encompasses a
wide range of rental equipment from small tools to heavy
earthmoving equipment, and growth is largely driven by two key
factors. First, there is an increasing trend towards renting
versus purchasing equipment. The penetration rate for equipment
rental in the United States has expanded in line with the
increasing recognition of the benefits that equipment rental
offers compared to equipment ownership. Industry sources
1
estimate there has been an overall growth in rental industry
penetration from 5% of total equipment deployed in 1993 to 35%
in 2005. Second, the industry has experienced growth in its
primary end-markets, which comprise the non-residential
construction and industrial markets.
The equipment rental industry remains highly fragmented, with
large numbers of companies operating on a regional or local
scale and the top 10 companies combined accounting for less
than 30% of the market by 2005 rental revenues. We expect
the larger rental companies to increase their market share by
continuing to offer a wide range of high quality and reliable
equipment available for rent. The outlook for the equipment
rental industry is expected to remain strong, due to such
positive macroeconomic factors as:
|
|
|
|
|
the continuing trend toward rental instead of ownership;
|
|
|
|
continued growth in non-residential building construction
spending, which, according to Maximus Advisors, is expected to
grow 9.3% in 2007; and
|
|
|
|
increased capital investment by industrial companies.
|
Furthermore, the reconstruction efforts in the Gulf Coast have
resulted in increased regional demand for rental equipment,
which we expect to continue in the near future assuming
reconstruction efforts continue.
Competitive
Strengths
We believe that the following strengths provide us with
significant competitive advantages and the opportunity to
achieve continued growth and profitability:
Leading North American equipment rental provider with
national footprint and significant scale. We are
one of the largest equipment rental providers in North America
and we believe we are the largest or second largest equipment
rental provider in the majority of the regions in which we
operate. As of September 30, 2006, we operate through a
network of 452 rental locations in 39 U.S. states and
4 Canadian provinces, including the high growth Sunbelt and Gulf
Coast regions. Our scale and strong national footprint enable us
to effectively service our customers in multiple geographic
locations as well as our customers with exclusively local needs.
In addition, the depth and breadth of our offerings enable us to
service the majority of the equipment rental needs of our
customers across multiple market segments. We believe that our
broad geographical footprint reduces the impact of regional
economic downturns and seasonal fluctuations in demand, and
enables us to take advantage of growth opportunities, including
those arising from the fragmented nature of the
U.S. equipment rental industry. In addition, we believe our
size and market presence allow us to achieve economies of scale
in capital investment.
High quality rental fleet. We believe our
diverse equipment fleet is the youngest, best maintained and
most reliable in the industry among our key competitors. At
September 30, 2006, our rental fleet had an original
equipment cost of approximately $2.3 billion and an average
fleet age of 24.6 months, compared to $1.7 billion and
44 months, respectively, at the end of 2003. We employ a
rigorous preventive maintenance and repair program to maximize
the reliability, utilization and useful life of our fleet. In
September 2006, 97.4% of our fleet was current on its
manufacturers recommended preventive maintenance,
resulting in high fleet reliability levels and high levels of
our fleet being available to customers for rent. Because our
fleet is young, well maintained and reliable, we expect to be
able to support our premium pricing strategy and broaden our
customer base. In addition, we believe that our fleets
young age and condition enable us to withstand cyclical
downturns in our industry better than our competitors due to our
ability to reduce capital expenditures on new equipment without
compromising the quality of the equipment we offer to customers.
2
Highly disciplined fleet management and procurement
process. Our highly disciplined approach to
acquiring, deploying, sharing, maintaining and divesting fleet
represents a key competitive advantage and is the main reason
that we believe we lead the industry in profitability and return
on invested capital. As of September 30, 2006, we invested
approximately $2.0 billion in new fleet since the beginning
of 2003 to meet customer demand and to optimize the diversity
and condition of our fleet. Our fleet utilization increased from
57% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2002 to over
72% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2006. We
believe that our centralized fleet management strategy is a key
driver of the success of our fleet management process. Our
strategy facilitates the fluid transfer of our fleet among
regions to adjust to local customer demand. We base our fleet
investment decisions on locally forecasted quarterly rental
revenues, target utilization levels and targeted rental rates.
Our corporate fleet management approves fleet investments if the
investments are projected to meet pre-specified return
thresholds and the requirements cannot be satisfied through
fleet redeployment. In addition, we utilize advanced management
information systems to continuously monitor the profitability of
our equipment fleet and our branches, including customer and
transaction data, such as equipment rental rates and
utilization. We also seek to maintain a disciplined and
consolidated approach to supplier vendor negotiations by making
equipment purchases continuously throughout the year rather than
through long term purchase agreements. By avoiding long term
supply contracts and placing equipment orders on a quarterly
basis, we are better able to manage the size of the fleet,
profitably grow market share and make real-time decisions based
on efficiency and return requirements.
Superior customer service. Senior management
is committed to creating a customer focused culture, and we
spend significant time and resources to train our personnel to
effectively service our customers. We utilize innovative service
offerings, including Total Control, a proprietary software
system available to customers for management of their rented and
owned equipment fleet and services, and an in-house 24/7 call
center. We also maintain a proprietary dispatch system combined
with a GPS equipped truck fleet for efficient delivery and
pick-up
processes. We regularly solicit feedback from our customers
through focus groups and annual telephone surveys with
approximately 23,000 calls to customers. We believe that these
customer initiatives help support our premium pricing strategy,
and we estimate that a substantial portion of our total revenues
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was derived
from existing customers.
Diverse and stable customer base. We serviced
over 480,000 customers during the eighteen months ended
September 30, 2006, primarily in the non-residential
construction and industrial markets, and customers from these
markets accounted for 94% of our total revenues for the twelve
months ended September 30, 2006. Our customers represent a
wide variety of industries, such as the non-residential
construction, petrochemical, paper/pulp and food processing
industries. We have long and stable relationships with most of
our customers, including relationships in excess of
10 years with the majority of our top 20 customers. We
continue to diversify our customer base by growing our
long-standing presence in the industrial market. During the
twelve months ended September 30, 2006, no one customer
accounted for more than 1.5% of our total revenues and our top
10 customers combined represented approximately 7% of our total
revenues.
Decentralized organizational structure drives local
business. We believe our ability to respond
quickly to our customers demands is a key to profitable
growth, and our highly decentralized organizational structure
facilitates our ability to effectively service our customers in
each of our local markets. We are organized in three geographic
divisions across the United States and parts of Canada, each
overseeing three regions. Each of our nine regions has a
regional vice president responsible for operations and
profitability and each region is split into districts headed by
district managers typically overseeing five to six stores, each
managed by a
3
store manager. Compensation for each of these management
employees is based on local results, targeted operating margins
and rental revenue growth and accountability is maintained on a
daily basis through our operating systems, which provide real
time information on key operational and financial metrics, and
monthly reviews of financial performance. We also conduct formal
management review meetings every four months to assess
operational and financial objectives, develop near-term strategy
and discuss personnel development. Since 2001, our decentralized
management structure has focused exclusively on organic growth,
resulting in same store rental revenue growth of approximately
12% in 2004, 18% in 2005 and 21% in the nine months ended
September 30, 2006.
Experienced and proven management team. Our
executive management team has significant experience operating
businesses in capital intensive industries and has a successful
track record of delivering strong financial results and
significant operational efficiencies. Since 2001, our management
team has transformed our operational and financial performance
by focusing on capital efficiency and returns, investments in
human and capital resources, brand development and the redesign
and implementation of significantly improved internal processes,
including processes for managing our fleet, operating our stores
and pricing our offerings. Our current management team led the
effort to decentralize the business into nine regions, allowing
regional leadership to take responsibility for regional profit
and loss, thereby improving customer service and results. Under
our management teams leadership, our operating income
margins increased from 10.4% in 2003 to 26.1% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006. Supporting our management
teams initiatives is a highly motivated and experienced
group of nine regional vice presidents with an average of
approximately 17 years of industry experience.
Business
Strategy
Increase market share and pursue profitable
growth. We believe that our high quality fleet,
large scale and national footprint and superior customer service
position us to continue to gain market share in the highly
fragmented U.S. equipment rental market. We intend to take
advantage of the opportunities for profitable growth within the
North American equipment rental market by:
|
|
|
|
|
continuing to drive the profitability of existing stores and
pursuing same store growth;
|
|
|
|
continuing to invest in and maintain our high quality fleet to
meet local customer demands;
|
|
|
|
leveraging our reputation for superior customer service to
increase our customer base;
|
|
|
|
increasing our market penetration by opening new stores in
targeted growth markets, many of which will be adjacent to
current operations, which will allow us to leverage existing
infrastructure and customer relationships;
|
|
|
|
increasing our presence in complementary rental and service
offerings, many of which can be offered from our existing
locations and provide incremental opportunities to increase same
store revenues, margins and return on investment;
|
|
|
|
continuing to align incentives for local management teams with
both profit and growth targets; and
|
|
|
|
pursuing selected acquisitions in attractive markets, subject to
economic conditions.
|
Further drive profitability, cash flow and return on
capital. We believe there are opportunities to
further increase the profitability of our operations by
continuing to:
|
|
|
|
|
focus on the higher margin rental business;
|
4
|
|
|
|
|
actively manage the quality, reliability and availability of our
fleet and offer superior customer service, which supports our
premium pricing strategy;
|
|
|
|
evaluate each new investment in fleet based on strict return
guidelines;
|
|
|
|
deploy and allocate fleet among our operating regions based on
pre-specified return thresholds to optimize utilization; and
|
|
|
|
use our size and market presence to achieve economies of scale
in capital investment.
|
Further enhance our industry leading customer
service. We believe that our position as a
leading provider of rental equipment to our customers is driven
in large part by our superior customer service and our
reputation for such service. We intend to maintain our
reputation, which we believe will allow us to further expand our
customer base and increase our share of the fragmented
U.S. equipment rental market, by continuing to:
|
|
|
|
|
meet our customers demands for superior fleet quality,
availability and reliability;
|
|
|
|
recruit, train and retain a high quality work force able to
forge strong relationships with customers;
|
|
|
|
provide customers with comprehensive and responsive service,
including through our in-house 24/7 call center; and
|
|
|
|
solicit customer feedback through focus groups and customer
satisfaction telephone surveys to continuously improve our
customer service.

Summary
Historical And Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data
The following table presents summary historical and unaudited
pro forma consolidated financial information. The unaudited
summary condensed consolidated statements of income data for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30,
2006 and the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet data
as of September 30, 2006 presented below were derived from
our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the
related notes thereto included in this prospectus. The summary
consolidated statements of income data for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 2005 presented
below were derived from our audited annual consolidated
financial statements and the related notes thereto included in
this prospectus. The unaudited operating results for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006 include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
that we consider necessary for a fair statement of the results
for such interim periods. The unaudited interim results are not
necessarily an indication of the results for the full year. The
unaudited pro forma as adjusted financial data below for the
twelve months ended September 30, 2006 reflect adjustments
to our historical financial data to give effect to (i) the
Recapitalization (as defined in Recent
TransactionsThe Recapitalization) and the use of the
net proceeds therefrom and (ii) the sale of the common
stock offered by this prospectus at an assumed initial offering
price of $ per share, the
midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this
prospectus, and the use of net proceeds therefrom as if such
transactions had occurred on January 1, 2005 for income
statement purposes. The unaudited pro forma as adjusted
financial data below as of September 30, 2006 reflect
adjustments to our historical financial data to give effect to
(i) the Recapitalization and the use of the net proceeds
therefrom and (ii) the sale of the common stock offered by
this prospectus at an assumed initial offering price of
$ per share, the midpoint of
the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and
the use of the net proceeds therefrom as if such transactions
had occurred on September 30, 2006 for balance sheet
purposes.
We calculate earnings per share on a pro forma basis, based on
an assumed number of shares outstanding at the time of the
initial public offering with respect to the existing shares.
You should read the following summary historical and pro forma
financial data in conjunction with the historical financial
statements and other financial information appearing elsewhere
in this prospectus, including Capitalization,
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, Selected Historical Consolidated
Financial Data and Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

We present EBITDA in this prospectus because we believe it
provides investors with important additional information to
evaluate our performance. We believe EBITDA is frequently used
by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties
in the evaluation of companies in our industry, although our
method of calculating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may vary from
the method used by other companies. In addition, we believe that
investors, analysts and rating agencies will consider EBITDA
useful in measuring our ability to meet our debt service
obligations. However, EBITDA is not a recognized measurement
under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounted Principles
(GAAP), and when analyzing our performance,
investors should use EBITDA in addition to, and not as an
alternative to, net income or net cash provided by operating
activities as defined under GAAP. |
Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein is a financial measure used
in the credit agreements for RSCs Senior ABL Facilities
and Senior Term Facility. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized
measurement under GAAP and should not be considered as an
alternative to
11
operating income or net income as a measure of operating results
or cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA differs
from the term EBITDA as it is commonly used.
Adjusted EBITDA generally is defined as consolidated net income
before consolidated net interest expense, consolidated income
taxes, consolidated depreciation and amortization, other
non-cash expenses and charges deducted in determining
consolidated net income (loss), non-cash provisions for reserves
for discontinued operations, extraordinary, unusual or
non-recurring items, gain or loss associated with the sale or
write down of assets not in the ordinary course of business,
certain management fees paid to Ripplewood Holdings L.L.C. and
Oak Hill Capital Management, LLC, and the cumulative effect of
accounting changes and earnings of, but including cash dividends
or distributions from, non-controlled affiliates. In addition,
Adjusted EBITDA is reduced by the amount of certain permitted
dividends to RSC Holdings.
Borrowings under our Senior ABL Facilities (as defined under
Recent Transactions The
Recapitalization) are a key source of our liquidity. Our
ability to borrow under our Senior ABL Facilities (as defined
under Recent Transactions The
Recapitalization) depends upon, among other things, the
maintenance of a sufficient borrowing base under the Senior ABL
Facilities. If we fail to maintain a specified minimum level of
borrowing capacity under the Senior ABL Facilities, we will then
be subject to financial covenants under the Senior ABL
Facilities, including a specified debt to EBITDA (as adjusted)
leverage ratio and a specified EBITDA (as adjusted) to fixed
charges coverage ratio. Failure to comply with these financial
ratio covenants would result in a default under the credit
agreement for our Senior ABL Facilities and, absent a waiver or
an amendment from our lenders, permit the acceleration of all
outstanding borrowings under our Senior ABL Facilities. For
further information on the terms of the Senior ABL Facilities,
see Description of Certain IndebtednessSenior ABL
Facilities.

RISK
FACTORS
Our business is subject to a number of important risks and
uncertainties, some of which are described below. Any of these
risks may have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In
such a case, you may lose all or part of your investment in our
common stock.
Risks Related to
Our Business
Our business
could be hurt by a decline in non-residential construction and
industrial activities or a decline in the amount of construction
equipment that is rented.
As of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, our
non-residential construction and industrial customers together
accounted for approximately 94% of our total revenues. A
weakness in non-residential construction or industrial activity,
or a decline in the desirability of renting equipment, may
decrease the demand for our equipment or depress the prices we
charge for our products and services. We have identified below
certain factors which may cause weakness, either temporary or
long-term, in the non-residential construction and industrial
sectors:
|
|
|
|
|
weakness in the economy or the onset of a recession;
|
|
|
|
an increase in the cost of construction materials;
|
|
|
|
an increase in interest rates;
|
|
|
|
adverse weather conditions or natural disasters which may
temporarily affect a particular region; or
|
|
|
|
terrorism or hostilities involving the United States or Canada.
|
A weakness in the non-residential construction and industrial
sectors caused by these or other factors could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, results of
operations and cash flows and may have a material adverse effect
on residual values realized on the disposition of our rental
equipment.
We face intense
competition that may lead to our inability to increase or
maintain our prices, which could have a material adverse impact
on our results of operations.
The equipment rental industry is highly competitive and highly
fragmented. Many of the markets in which we operate are served
by numerous competitors, ranging from national equipment rental
companies, like ourselves, to smaller multi-regional companies
and small, independent businesses with a limited number of
locations. See BusinessCompetition. Some of
our principal competitors are less leveraged than we are, have
greater financial resources, may be more geographically
diversified, may have greater name recognition than we do and
may be better able to withstand adverse market conditions within
the industry. We generally compete on the basis of, among other
things, quality and breadth of service, expertise, reliability,
price and the size, mix and relative attractiveness of our
rental equipment fleet, which is significantly affected by the
level of our capital expenditures. If we are required to reduce
or delay capital expenditures for any reason, including due to
restrictions contained in the Senior Credit Facilities or the
indenture governing the Notes, the aging of our rental fleet may
place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors and
adversely impact our pricing. In addition, our competitors may
seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing. To the
extent that we choose to match our competitors downward
pricing, it could have a material adverse impact on our results
of operations. To the extent that we choose not to match or
remain within a reasonable competitive distance from our
competitors pricing, it could also have a material adverse
impact on our results of operations, as we may lose rental
volume.
13
We may also encounter increased competition from existing
competitors or new market entrants in the future, which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our revenues and
operating results may fluctuate and any unexpected periods of
decline could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
Our revenues and operating results have varied historically from
period to period and may continue to do so. We have identified
below certain of the factors which may cause our revenues and
operating results to vary:
|
|
|
|
|
changes in demand for our equipment or the prices we charge due
to changes in economic conditions, competition or other factors;
|
|
|
|
the timing of expenditure for new equipment and the disposal of
used equipment;
|
|
|
|
changes in the interest rates applicable to our variable rate
debt;
|
|
|
|
general economic conditions in the markets where we operate;
|
|
|
|
the cyclical nature of our customers businesses,
particularly those operating in the non-residential construction
and industrial sectors;
|
|
|
|
price changes in response to competitive factors;
|
|
|
|
seasonal rental patterns, with rental activity tending to be
lowest in the winter;
|
|
|
|
timing of acquisitions and new location openings and related
costs;
|
|
|
|
labor shortages, work stoppages or other labor difficulties;
|
|
|
|
possible unrecorded liabilities of acquired companies;
|
|
|
|
our effectiveness in integrating acquired businesses and new
locations into our existing operations; and
|
|
|
|
possible write-offs or exceptional charges due to changes in
applicable accounting standards, impairment of obsolete or
damaged equipment or other assets, or the refinancing of our
existing debt.
|
One or a number of these factors could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
Our expenses
could increase and our relationships with our customers could be
hurt if there is an adverse change in our relationships with our
equipment suppliers or if our suppliers are unable to provide us
with products we rely on to generate revenues.
All of our inventory consists of equipment products that we
purchase from various suppliers and manufacturers. We rely on
these suppliers and manufacturers to provide us with equipment
which we then rent to our customers. We have not entered into
any long-term equipment supply arrangements with manufacturers.
To the extent we are unable to rely on these suppliers and
manufacturers, either due to an adverse change in our
relationships with them, or if they significantly raised their
costs, or such suppliers or manufacturers simply are unable to
supply us with equipment in a timely manner, our business could
be adversely affected through higher costs or the resulting
potential inability to service our customers. We may experience
delays in receiving equipment from some manufacturers due to
factors beyond our control, including raw material shortages,
and, to the extent that we experience any such delays, our
business could be hurt by the resulting inability to service our
customers.
14
In addition, while we have negotiated favorable payment terms
with the suppliers that provide us with the majority of our
equipment, these payment terms may not be available to us at a
later time.
If our operating
costs increase as our rental fleet ages and we are unable to
pass along such costs, our earnings will decrease.
As our fleet of rental equipment ages, the cost of maintaining
such equipment, if not replaced within a certain period of time,
will likely increase. The costs of maintenance may materially
increase in the future. Any material increase in such costs
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
The cost of new
equipment we use in our rental fleet is increasing and therefore
we may spend more for replacement equipment, and in some cases
we may not be able to procure equipment on a timely basis due to
supplier constraints.
The cost of new equipment used in our rental fleet increased in
2005 and 2006. These cost increases are due primarily to
increased material costs, including increases in the cost of
steel, which is a primary material used in most of the equipment
we use, and increases in the cost of fuel, which is used in the
manufacturing process and in delivering equipment to us.
Although these increases did not have a significant impact on
our financial conditions and results of operations in the last
fiscal year, these increases could materially adversely impact
our financial condition and results of operations in future
periods.
Our rental fleet
is subject to residual value risk upon disposition.
The market value of any given piece of rental equipment could be
less than its depreciated value at the time it is sold. The
market value of used rental equipment depends on several
factors, including:
|
|
|
|
|
the market price for new equipment of a like kind;
|
|
|
|
wear and tear on the equipment relative to its age and the
performance of preventive maintenance;
|
|
|
|
the time of year that it is sold;
|
|
|
|
worldwide and domestic demand for used equipment; and
|
|
|
|
general economic conditions.
|
We include in income from operations the difference between the
sales price and the depreciated value of an item of equipment
sold. Changes in our assumptions regarding depreciation could
change both our depreciation expense as well as the gain or loss
realized upon disposal of equipment. Sales of our used rental
equipment at prices that fall significantly below our
projections, or our inability to sell such equipment at all,
could have a negative impact on our results of operations.
Our reliance on
available borrowings under our Senior ABL Facilities and cash
from operating activities to purchase new equipment subjects us
to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our
control.
We rely significantly on available borrowings under our Senior
ABL Facilities to purchase equipment. As of November 27,
2006 (the Recapitalization Closing Date), we had
commitments for $576 million of available borrowings under
the revolving credit portion of our Senior ABL Facilities
(including amounts used to refinance existing letters of credit,
of which approximately $42 million was outstanding as of
the closing of the Recapitalization), which amount is subject to
potential reduction as a result of our obligation to make a
payment to ACF in respect
15
of a post-closing adjustment to the recapitalization purchase
price, or the Recapitalization Purchase Price, as
described under Recent TransactionsThe
RecapitalizationThe Recapitalization Agreement, and
subject to the covenants and other financial restrictions set
forth therein. If our access to such financing were unavailable,
reduced or were to become significantly more expensive for any
reason, including, without limitation, due to our inability to
meet the coverage ratio or leverage ratio tests in our Senior
ABL Facilities or satisfy any other condition in the facilities
or due to an increase in interest rates generally, we may not be
able to finance new equipment acquisitions on favorable terms,
or at all. In addition, if we are unable to generate excess cash
from operating activities after servicing our debt due to
negative economic or industry trends including, among others,
those set forth above under Our business could be
hurt by a decline in non-residential construction and industrial
activities or a decline in the amount of construction equipment
that is rented and We face intense competition
that may lead to downward pricing, or an inability to increase
prices, which could have a material adverse impact on our
results of operations, and we are not able to finance new
equipment acquisitions, we may not be able to make necessary
equipment rental acquisitions at all.
Any failure of
ACAB and ACF to indemnify us against and defend us from certain
claims in accordance with the terms of the Recapitalization
Agreement could have a material adverse effect on us.
Pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement, and subject to
certain limitations set forth therein, ACAB and ACF have agreed
to indemnify RSC Holdings and its subsidiaries, including each
of RSC and RSC Holdings III, LLC, against and defend us
from all losses, including costs and reasonable expenses,
resulting from certain claims related to the Recapitalization
and our business, including, without limitation: claims alleging
exposure to silica and asbestos; the transfer of certain
businesses owned by RSC Holdings but not acquired by the
Sponsors in connection with the Recapitalization; certain
employee-related matters; any activities, operations or business
conducted by RSC Holdings or any of its affiliates other than
our business; and certain tax matters. ACABs and
ACFs indemnity for claims related to alleged exposure to
silica entitles us to coverage for one-half of all silica
related losses until the aggregate amount of such losses equals
$10 million and to coverage for such losses in excess of
$10 million until the aggregate amount of such losses
equals $35 million. ACABs and ACFs general
indemnity for breach of representations and warranties related
to our business covers aggregate losses in excess of
$33 million, excluding any individual loss of less than
$75,000, and the maximum we can recover is 20% of the
Recapitalization Purchase Price, as adjusted in accordance with
the Recapitalization Agreement. Furthermore, ACAB and ACF may
not have sufficient assets, income and access to financing to
enable them to satisfy their indemnification obligations under
the Recapitalization Agreement or that they will continue to
honor those obligations. If ACAB or ACF do not satisfy or
otherwise honor their obligations, we may be forced to bear the
losses described above. Any failure by ACAB or ACF to perform
these obligations could have a material adverse effect on us.
Disruptions in
our information technology systems could limit our ability to
effectively monitor and control our operations and adversely
affect our operating results.
Our information technology systems facilitate our ability to
monitor and control our operations and adjust to changing market
conditions. Any disruptions in these systems or the failure of
these systems to operate as expected could, depending on the
magnitude of the problem, materially adversely affect our
financial condition or operating results by limiting our
capacity to effectively monitor and control our operations and
adjust to changing market conditions in a timely manner. In
addition, because our systems contain information about
individuals and businesses, our failure to maintain the security
of the data we hold, whether the result of our own error or the
malfeasance or errors of others, could harm our reputation
16
or give rise to legal liabilities leading to lower revenues,
increased costs and other material adverse effects on our
results of operations.
After this
offering, the Sponsors or their affiliates may compete directly
against us.
Corporate opportunities may arise in the area of potential
competitive business activities that may be attractive to us as
well as to one or more of the Sponsors or their affiliates,
including through potential acquisitions by one or more Sponsors
or their affiliates of competing businesses. Any competition
could intensify if an affiliate or subsidiary of one or more of
the Sponsors were to enter into or acquire a business similar to
our equipment rental operations. Given that after the
consummation of this offering we will not be controlled by any
one of the Sponsors, the Sponsors and their affiliates may be
inclined to direct relevant corporate opportunities to entities
which they control individually rather than to us. In addition,
our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will
provide that the Sponsors are under no obligation to communicate
or offer any corporate opportunity to us, even if such
opportunity might reasonably have been expected to be of
interest to us or our subsidiaries. See Description of
Capital Stock and Certain Relationships and Related
Party TransactionsStockholders Agreement.
ACAB may compete
against us in the future.
Certain affiliates of ACAB are participants in the equipment
rental industry. In addition, following the expiration of a
non-compete provision in the Recapitalization Agreement
two years following the Recapitalization Closing Date, ACAB
and its affiliates will be free to compete with us in the rental
equipment industry in the United States and Canada. In addition,
nothing in the Recapitalization Agreement prohibits ACAB and its
affiliates from (i) conducting (a) any business they
conduct immediately prior to closing, including the operation of
the Prime Energy divisions oil-free compressor equipment
rental and sales business, which was transferred to an affiliate
of ACAB, (b) the business of selling, renting (as long as
such renting is not in competition with our business) and
leasing products they manufacture, or selling used equipment,
(c) the rental equipment business outside of the United
States and Canada, (ii) investing in or holding not more
than 10% of the outstanding capital stock of an entity that
competes with us or (iii) acquiring and continuing to own
and operate an entity that competes with us, provided the rental
revenues of such entity in the United States and Canada account
for no more than 20% of such entitys consolidated revenues
at the time of such acquisition. Therefore, notwithstanding the
non-compete provision of the Recapitalization Agreement,
17
ACAB and its affiliates may, to the extent described above,
compete against us. We have not instituted any formal plans to
address any conflicts of interest that may arise.
If we acquire any
businesses in the future, they could prove difficult to
integrate, disrupt our business, or have an adverse effect on
our results of operations.
We intend to pursue growth primarily through internal growth,
but from time to time we may consider opportunistic acquisitions
which may be significant. Any future acquisition would involve
numerous risks including, without limitation:
|
|
|
|
|
potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of
management;
|
|
|
|
difficulty integrating the acquired business; and
|
|
|
|
exposure to unknown liabilities, including litigation against
the companies we may acquire.
|
If we make acquisitions in the future, acquisition-related
accounting charges may affect our balance sheet and results of
operations. In addition, the financing of any significant
acquisition may result in changes in our capital structure,
including the incurrence of additional indebtedness. We may not
be successful in addressing these risks or any other problems
encountered in connection with any acquisitions.
If we fail to
retain key management and personnel, we may be unable to
implement our business plan.
The most important factor in our ability to profitably execute
our business plan is our ability to attract, develop and retain
qualified personnel, particularly regional and district
management. Our success in attracting and retaining qualified
people is dependent on the resources available in individual
geographic areas and the impact on the labor supply due to
general economic conditions as well as our ability to provide a
competitive compensation package and work environment.
We are exposed to
various possible claims relating to our business and our
insurance may not fully protect us.
We are exposed to various possible claims relating to our
business. These possible claims include those relating to
(1) personal injury or death caused by equipment rented or
sold by us, (2) motor vehicle accidents involving our
vehicles and our employees, (3) employment-related claims
and (4) commercial claims. Currently, we believe that we
have adequate insurance coverage for the protection of our
assets and operations. However, such insurance may not fully
protect us for a number of reasons including:
|
|
|
|
|
the insurance policies relating to our operations are subject to
deductibles or self-insured retentions of $1 million for
general liability and $1.5 million for automobile
liability, on a per occurrence basis and $500,000 per
occurrence for workers compensation claims;
|
|
|
|
our general liability policy provides coverage for sudden and
accidental pollution for up to $3 million; and
|
|
|
|
certain types of claims, such as claims for punitive damages or
for damages arising from intentional misconduct, which are often
alleged in third party lawsuits, might not be covered by our
insurance.
|
If we are found liable for any significant claims that are not
covered by insurance, our liquidity and operating results could
be materially adversely affected. It is possible that our
insurance carrier may disclaim coverage for the class action and
derivative lawsuits against us.
18
It is also possible that some or all of the insurance that is
currently available to us will not be available in the future on
economically reasonable terms, or not available at all.
We may be unable
to establish
and/or
maintain an effective system of internal control over financial
reporting and comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002 and other related provisions of the
U.S. securities laws.
In connection with this initial public offering, we will be
required to file certain reports, including annual and quarterly
periodic reports, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The
Commission, as required by Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring every public
company to include a management report on such companys
internal control over financial reporting in its annual report,
which contains managements assessment of the effectiveness
of the companys internal control over financial reporting.
In addition, an independent registered public accounting firm
must attest to and report on managements assessment of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Under the Commissions rules as currently in effect,
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will apply to our
second annual report on
Form 10-K.
In addition, beginning with our first periodic report filed
after we file our second annual report on
Form 10-K,
we will be required to report in each periodic report that we
file with the Commission as to any changes in our internal
control over financial reporting since the preceding fiscal
quarter and the effectiveness and adequacy of our disclosure
controls and procedures. Our reporting obligations under the
U.S. securities laws will place additional burdens on our
management, operational and financial resources and systems. To
the extent that we are unable to establish
and/or
maintain effective internal control over financial reporting
and/or
disclosure controls and procedures, we may be unable to produce
reliable financial reports
and/or
public disclosure, detect and prevent fraud and comply with our
reporting obligations under the U.S. securities laws on a
timely basis. Any such failure could harm our business and
negatively affect the market value of your investment in our
common stock. In addition, failure to achieve and maintain
effective internal control over financial reporting
and/or
disclosure controls and procedures could result in the loss of
investor confidence in the reliability of our financial
statements and public disclosure and a loss of customers, which
in turn could harm our business and negatively affect the market
value of your investment in our common stock.
Environmental,
health and safety laws, regulations and requirements and the
costs of complying with them, or any liability or obligation
imposed under them, could adversely affect our financial
position, results of operations or cash flow.
Our operations are subject to a variety of federal, state, local
and foreign environmental, health and safety laws and
regulations. These laws regulate releases of petroleum products
and other hazardous substances into the environment as well as
storage, treatment, transport and disposal of wastes, and the
remediation of soil and groundwater contamination. In addition,
certain of our customers require us to maintain certain safety
levels. Failure to maintain such levels could lead to a loss of
such customers.
These laws also regulate our ownership and operation of tanks
used for the storage of petroleum products and other regulated
substances.
We have made, and will continue to make, expenditures to comply
with environmental laws and regulations, including, among
others, expenditures for the investigation and cleanup of
contamination at or emanating from, currently and formerly owned
and leased properties, as well as contamination at other
locations at which our wastes have reportedly been identified.
Some of these laws impose strict and in certain circumstances
joint and several liability on current and former owners or
operators of contaminated sites for costs of investigation and
remediation.
19
Compliance with existing or future environmental, health and
safety requirements may require material expenditures by us or
otherwise have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
We may not be
able to adequately protect our intellectual property and other
proprietary rights that are material to our business.
Our ability to compete effectively depends in part upon our
rights in trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property
rights we own or license. Our use of contractual provisions,
confidentiality procedures and agreements, and trademark,
copyright, unfair competition, trade secret and other laws to
protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights
may not be adequate. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our
intellectual property rights and protect our proprietary
information, or to defend against claims by third parties that
our services or our use of intellectual property infringe their
intellectual property rights. Any litigation or claims brought
by or against us could result in substantial costs and diversion
of our resources. A successful claim of trademark, copyright or
other intellectual property infringement against us could
prevent us from providing services, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results
of operations.
We face risks
related to changes in our ownership.
Certain of our agreements with third parties, including our real
property leases, require the consent of such parties in
connection with any change in ownership of us. We will generally
seek such consents and waivers, although we may not seek certain
consents if our not obtaining them will not, in our view, have a
material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position
or results of operations. If we fail to obtain any required
consent or waiver, the applicable third parties could seek to
terminate their agreement with us and, as a result, our ability
to conduct our business could be impaired until we are able to
enter into replacement agreements, resulting in a material
adverse effect on our results of operations or financial
condition.
20
Risks Related to
Our Substantial Indebtedness
We have
substantial debt and may incur substantial additional debt,
which could adversely affect our financial condition, our
ability to obtain financing in the future and our ability to
react to changes in our business.
We have a significant amount of debt. As of September 30,
2006, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to (i) the
Recapitalization and the use of the net proceeds therefrom and
(ii) the Recapitalization and the use of the net proceeds
therefrom and this offering and the use of the net proceeds
therefrom as described in Use of Proceeds, we would
have had, respectively approximately $2,996.6 million and
approximately $ million of
debt outstanding.
Our substantial debt could have important consequences to you.
For example, it could:
|
|
|
|
|
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations to the
holders of our Notes and to the lenders under our Senior Credit
Facilities, resulting in possible defaults on and acceleration
of such indebtedness;
|
|
|
|
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow
from operations to make payments on our debt, which would reduce
the availability of our cash flow from operations to fund
working capital, capital expenditures or other general corporate
purposes;
|
|
|
|
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and
industry conditions, including interest rate fluctuations,
because a portion of our borrowings, including under the Senior
Credit Facilities, is at variable rates of interest;
|
|
|
|
place us at a competitive disadvantage to our competitors with
proportionately less debt or comparable debt at more favorable
interest rates;
|
|
|
|
limit our ability to refinance our existing indebtedness or
borrow additional funds in the future;
|
|
|
|
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changing
conditions in our business and industry; and
|
|
|
|
limit our ability to react to competitive pressures, or make it
difficult for us to carry out capital spending that is necessary
or important to our growth strategy and our efforts to improve
operating margins.
|
Any of the foregoing impacts of our substantial indebtedness
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Despite our
current indebtedness levels, we and our subsidiaries may be able
to incur substantial additional debt, which could further
exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial
indebtedness.
We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial
additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of the
instruments governing our indebtedness do not prohibit us or
fully prohibit us or our subsidiaries from doing so. As of
September 30, 2006, on a pro forma basis after giving
effect to (i) the Recapitalization and the use of the net
proceeds therefrom and (ii) the Recapitalization and the
use of the net proceeds therefrom and this offering and the use
of the net proceeds therefrom, our Senior Credit Facilities
provided us commitments for additional aggregate borrowings
subject to, among other things, our maintenance of a sufficient
borrowing base under such facilities and potential reduction as
a result of our obligation to make a payment to ACF in respect
of a post-closing adjustment to the Recapitalization Purchase
Price, as described in Recent TransactionsThe
RecapitalizationThe
21
Recapitalization Agreement, of approximately
$576 million and approximately
$ million, respectively, and
both the Senior ABL Facilities and the Senior Term Facility
permit additional borrowings beyond the committed financing
thereunder under certain circumstances. If new debt is added to
our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face
would increase. In addition, the instruments governing our
indebtedness do not prevent us or our subsidiaries from
incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness.
We may not be
able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our debt, and
may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations
under such indebtedness, which may not be successful.
Our ability to make scheduled payments on, or to refinance our
obligations under, our debt will depend on the financial and
operating performance of us and our subsidiaries, which, in
turn, will be subject to prevailing economic and competitive
conditions and to the financial and business factors, many of
which may be beyond our control, described under
Risks Related to Our Business above.
We may not maintain a level of cash flow from operating
activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal,
premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness. If our cash
flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt
service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital
expenditures, sell assets, seek to obtain additional equity
capital or restructure our debt. In the future, our cash flow
and capital resources may not be sufficient for payments of
interest on and principal of our debt, and such alternative
measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our
scheduled debt service obligations. We may not be able to
refinance any of our indebtedness or obtain additional
financing, particularly because of our anticipated high levels
of debt and the debt incurrence restrictions imposed by the
agreements governing our debt, as well as prevailing market
conditions. In the absence of such operating results and
resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and
might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to
meet our debt service and other obligations. The instruments
governing our indebtedness restrict our ability to dispose of
assets and use the proceeds from any such dispositions. We may
not be able to consummate those sales, or if we do, what the
timing of the sales will be or whether the proceeds that we
realize will be adequate to meet debt service obligations when
due.
A significant
portion of our outstanding indebtedness is secured by
substantially all of our consolidated assets. As a result of
these security interests, such assets would only be available to
satisfy claims of our general creditors or to holders of our
equity securities if we were to become insolvent to the extent
the value of such assets exceeded the amount of our indebtedness
and other obligations. In addition, the existence of these
security interests may adversely affect our financial
flexibility.
Indebtedness under our Senior Credit Facilities is secured by a
lien on substantially all our assets. Accordingly, if an event
of default were to occur under our Senior Credit Facilities, the
senior secured lenders under such facilities would have a prior
right to our assets, to the exclusion of our general creditors.
In that event, our assets would first be used to repay in full
all indebtedness and other obligations secured by them
(including all amounts outstanding under our Senior Credit
Facilities), resulting in all or a portion of our assets being
unavailable to satisfy the claims of our unsecured indebtedness,
including our Notes. Only after satisfying the claims of our
unsecured creditors and our subsidiaries unsecured
creditors would any amount be available for our equity holders.
As of September 30, 2006, substantially all of our
consolidated assets, including our equipment rental fleets, have
been pledged for the benefit of the lenders under our Senior
Credit Facilities. As a result, the lenders under these
facilities would have a prior claim on such assets in the event
of our bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or reorganization,
and we may
22
not have sufficient funds to pay all of our creditors. In that
event, holders of our equity securities would not be entitled to
receive any of our assets or the proceeds therefrom. See
Description of Certain IndebtednessSenior Credit
FacilitiesSenior Term FacilityGuarantees;
Security and Senior ABL
FacilitiesGuarantees; Security. As discussed below,
the pledge of these assets and other restrictions may limit our
flexibility in raising capital for other purposes. Because
substantially all of our assets are pledged under these
financing arrangements, our ability to incur additional secured
indebtedness or to sell or dispose of assets to raise capital
may be impaired, which could have an adverse effect on our
financial flexibility.
Restrictive
covenants in certain of the agreements and instruments governing
our indebtedness may adversely affect our financial
flexibility.
Our Senior Credit Facilities contain covenants that, among other
things, restrict RSCs and RSC Holdings III,
LLCs ability to:
|
|
|
|
|
incur additional indebtedness or provide guarantees;
|
|
|
|
engage in mergers, acquisitions or dispositions;
|
|
|
|
enter into sale-leaseback transactions;
|
|
|
|
make dividends and other restricted payments;
|
|
|
|
prepay other indebtedness;
|
|
|
|
engage in certain transactions with affiliates;
|
|
|
|
make other investments;
|
|
|
|
change the nature of our business;
|
|
|
|
incur liens;
|
|
|
|
take actions other than those enumerated; and
|
|
|
|
amend specified debt agreements.
|
In addition, under the Senior ABL Facilities, we will be
required to comply with certain financial covenants. If we fail
to maintain a specified minimum level of borrowing capacity, we
will then be subject to financial covenants, including covenants
that will obligate us to maintain a specified leverage ratio and
a specified fixed charges coverage ratio. Our ability to comply
with these covenants in future periods will depend on our
ongoing financial and operating performance, which in turn will
be subject to economic conditions and to financial, market and
competitive factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our
ability to comply with these covenants in future periods will
also depend substantially on the pricing of our products and
services, our success at implementing cost reduction initiatives
and our ability to successfully implement our overall business
strategy.
The indenture governing the Notes also contains restrictive
covenants that, among other things, limit RSC Holdings III,
LLCs ability and the ability of its restricted
subsidiaries to:
|
|
|
|
|
incur additional debt;
|
|
|
|
pay dividends or distributions on their capital stock or
repurchase their capital stock;
|
|
|
|
make certain investments;
|
|
|
|
create liens on their assets to secure debt;
|
|
|
|
enter into certain transactions with affiliates;
|
|
|
|
create limitations on the ability of the restricted subsidiaries
to make dividends or distributions to their respective parents;
|
23
|
|
|
|
|
merge or consolidate with another company; and
|
|
|
|
transfer and sell assets.
|
Our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions
contained in the Senior Credit Facilities and the indenture
governing the Notes may be affected by economic, financial and
industry conditions beyond our control. The breach of any of
these covenants or restrictions could result in a default under
either the Senior Credit Facilities or the indenture that would
permit the applicable lenders or noteholders, as the case may
be, to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be due and
payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest. In any such
case, we may be unable to make borrowings under the Senior
Credit Facilities and may not be able to repay the amounts due
under the Senior Credit Facilities and the Notes. This could
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations and could cause us to become bankrupt or
insolvent.
The instruments
governing our debt contain cross default or cross acceleration
provisions that may cause all of the debt issued under such
instruments to become immediately due and payable as a result of
a default under an unrelated debt instrument.
Our failure to comply with the obligations contained in the
indenture governing our Notes and the agreements governing our
Senior Credit Facilities or other instruments governing our
indebtedness could result in an event of default under the
applicable instrument, which could result in the related debt
and the debt issued under other instruments becoming immediately
due and payable. In such event, we would need to raise funds
from alternative sources, which funds may not be available to us
on favorable terms, on a timely basis or at all. Alternatively,
such a default could require us to sell our assets and otherwise
curtail our operations in order to pay our creditors. Such
alternative measures could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to
Our Common Stock and This Offering
RSC Holdings is a
holding company with no operations of its own that depends on
its subsidiaries for cash.
The operations of RSC Holdings are conducted almost entirely
through its subsidiaries and its ability to generate cash to
meet its debt service obligations or to pay dividends is highly
dependent on the earnings and the receipt of funds from its
subsidiaries via dividends or intercompany loans. However, none
of the subsidiaries of RSC Holdings is obligated to make funds
available to RSC Holdings for the payment of dividends. In
addition, payments of dividends and interest among the companies
in our group may be subject to withholding taxes. Further, the
indenture governing the Notes and the Senior Credit Facilities
significantly restrict the ability of the subsidiaries of RSC
Holdings to pay dividends or otherwise transfer assets to RSC
Holdings. See Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our
Substantial IndebtednessRestrictive covenants in certain
of the agreements and instruments governing our indebtedness may
adversely affect our financial flexibility. In addition,
Delaware law may impose requirements that may restrict our
ability to pay dividends to holders of our common stock.
There currently
exists no market for our common stock. An active trading market
may not develop for our common stock. If our stock price
fluctuates after this offering, you could lose all or a
significant part of your investment.
Prior to this offering, there was no public market for shares of
our common stock. An active market may not develop following the
completion of this offering or, if developed, may not be
maintained. We negotiated the initial public offering price with
the underwriters. The initial public offering price may not be
indicative of the price at which our common stock will trade
following completion of this offering. The market price of our
common stock may also be influenced by many factors, some of
which are beyond our control, including:
|
|
|
|
|
securities analysts elect not to cover our common stock after
this offering, changes in financial estimates by analysts or a
downgrade of our stock or our sector by analysts;
|
|
|
|
announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts,
acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital
commitments;
|
|
|
|
variations in quarterly operating results;
|
|
|
|
loss of a large customer or supplier;
|
|
|
|
general economic conditions;
|
|
|
|
war, terrorist acts and epidemic disease;
|
|
|
|
future sales of our common stock; and
|
|
|
|
investor perceptions of us and the equipment rental industry.
|
As a result of these factors, investors in our common stock may
not be able to resell their shares at or above the initial
offering price. In addition, the stock market in general has
experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that may be
unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of
companies like us. These broad market and industry factors may
materially reduce the market price of our common stock,
regardless of our operating performance.
25
A few significant
stockholders control the direction of our business. If the
ownership of our common stock continues to be highly
concentrated, it will prevent you and other stockholders from
influencing significant corporate decisions.
Following the completion of this offering, Ripplewood and Oak
Hill will each beneficially own
approximately % of the
outstanding shares of our common stock assuming that the
underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional
shares. Ripplewood, Oak Hill, ACF and RSC Holdings are parties
to a stockholders agreement, or the Stockholders
Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsors currently have
the ability to cause the election of a majority of our Board of
Directors. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated
Stockholders Agreement to be entered into in connection with
this offering, the Sponsors will continue to have the right to
nominate a majority of the members of our Board of Directors and
to exercise control over matters requiring stockholder approval
and our policy and affairs, for example, by being able to direct
the use of proceeds received from this and future security
offerings. See Certain Relationships and Related Party
TransactionsStockholders Agreement. In addition,
following the consummation of this offering, we will be a
controlled company within the meaning of the New
York Stock Exchange rules and, as a result, currently intend to
rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance
requirements.
The concentrated holdings of the Sponsors, certain provisions of
the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement and the presence
of the Sponsors nominees on our Board of Directors may
result in a delay or the deterrence of possible changes in
control of our company, which may reduce the market price of our
common stock. The interests of our existing stockholders may
conflict with the interests of our other stockholders. Our Board
of Directors intends to adopt corporate governance guidelines
that will, among other things, address potential conflicts
between a directors interests and our interests. In
addition, we intend to adopt a code of business conduct that,
among other things, requires our employees to avoid actions or
relationships that might conflict or appear to conflict with
their job responsibilities or the interests of RSC Holdings, and
to disclose their outside activities, financial interests or
relationships that may present a possible conflict of interest
or the appearance of a conflict to management or corporate
counsel. These corporate governance guidelines and code of
business ethics will not, by themselves, prohibit transactions
with our principal stockholders.
Our share price
may decline due to the large number of shares eligible for
future sale.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, or the
possibility of such sales, may adversely affect the price of our
common stock and impede our ability to raise capital through the
issuance of equity securities.
Upon consummation of this offering, there will
be shares
of common stock outstanding. Of these shares, the shares of
common stock sold in the offering will be freely transferable
without restriction or further registration under the Securities
Act, unless purchased by our affiliates as that term
is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The
remaining shares
of common stock outstanding will be restricted securities within
the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, but will
be eligible for resale subject to applicable volume, manner of
sale, holding period and other limitations of Rule 144 or
pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 701
under the Securities Act. Upon completion of this offering, we
intend to file one or more registration statements under the
Securities Act to register the shares of common stock to be
issued under our stock incentive plan and, as a result, all
shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of stock options
and other equity-based awards granted under this plan will also
be freely tradable under the Securities Act unless purchased by
our affiliates. A total of 154,693.70 shares of common
stock are reserved for issuance under our stock incentive plan.
26
We, the Sponsors, our executive officers and directors have
agreed to a
lock-up,
meaning that, subject to certain exceptions, neither we nor they
will sell any shares without the prior consent of the
representatives of the underwriters
for
days after the date of this prospectus. Following the expiration
of this -day
lock-up
period,
of these shares of our common stock will be eligible for future
sale, subject to the applicable volume, manner of sale, holding
period and other limitations of Rule 144. See
Shares Eligible for Future Sale for a
discussion of the shares of common stock that may be sold into
the public market in the future. In addition, our existing
stockholders have the right under certain circumstances to
require that we register their shares for resale. As of
September 30, 2006, these registration rights apply to
the shares
of our outstanding common stock owned by the Sponsors.
In addition, sales of our common stock that result in certain
persons associated with the Sponsors holdings less than 40% in
the aggregate of our common stock in the aggregate will result
in requiring us to pay current interest on any contingent
earn-out notes that we may have issued. See Recent
TransactionsThe RecapitalizationContingent Earn-Out
Notes.
Purchasers of our
common stock will experience immediate and substantial dilution
resulting in their shares being worth less on a net tangible
book value basis than the amount they invested.
The initial public offering price is expected to be
significantly higher than the net tangible book value per share
of our common stock. Purchasers of the common stock in this
offering will experience an immediate dilution in net tangible
book value of $ per share of
common stock purchased. In the past, we issued options to
acquire shares of common stock at prices that may be
significantly below the initial public offering price. To the
extent that these outstanding options are exercised, there may
be further dilution to investors. Accordingly, in the event we
are liquidated, investors may not receive the full amount of
their investment. See Dilution.
Our certificate
of incorporation, by-laws and Delaware law may discourage
takeovers and business combinations that our stockholders might
consider in their best interests.
A number of provisions we intend to include, effective as of the
offering, in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws may
have the effect of delaying, deterring, preventing or rendering
more difficult a change in control of RSC Holdings that our
stockholders might consider in their best interests. These
provisions include:
|
|
|
|
|
establishment of a classified Board of Directors, with staggered
terms;
|
|
|
|
granting to the Board of Directors sole power to set the number
of directors and to fill any vacancy on the Board of Directors,
whether such vacancy occurs as a result of an increase in the
number of directors or otherwise;
|
|
|
|
limitations on the ability of stockholders to remove directors;
|
|
|
|
the ability of the Board of Directors to designate and issue one
or more series of preferred stock without stockholder approval,
the terms of which may be determined at the sole discretion of
the Board of Directors;
|
|
|
|
prohibition on stockholders from calling special meetings of
stockholders;
|
|
|
|
establishment of advance notice requirements for stockholder
proposals and nominations for election to the Board of Directors
at stockholder meetings; and
|
27
|
|
|
|
|
prohibiting our stockholders from acting by written consent if
the Sponsors cease to collectively hold a majority of our
outstanding common stock.
|
These provisions may prevent our stockholders from receiving the
benefit from any premium to the market price of our common stock
offered by a bidder in a takeover context. Even in the absence
of a takeover attempt, the existence of these provisions may
adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock
if they are viewed as discouraging takeover attempts in the
future. In addition, we expect to opt out of Section 203 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law, which would have otherwise
imposed additional requirements regarding mergers and other
business combinations.
Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws may also make it
difficult for stockholders to replace or remove our management.
These provisions may facilitate management entrenchment that may
delay, deter, render more difficult or prevent a change in our
control, which may not be in the best interests of our
stockholders.
See Description of Capital Stock for additional
information on the anti-takeover measures applicable to us.

MARKET AND
INDUSTRY DATA
Information in this prospectus about the equipment rental
industry, including our general expectations concerning the
industry and our market position and market share, is based on
estimates prepared using data from various sources and on
assumptions made by us. We believe data regarding the equipment
rental industry and our market position and market share within
this industry is inherently imprecise, but generally indicate
our size and position and market share within this industry. In
particular, we made certain determinations of market size and
market share within our industry based on information from
American Rental Association, Daniel Kaplan Associates, Global
Insight, Manfredi & Associates and Rental Equipment
Register, and our determinations of certain economic conditions
in the markets we service are based on information from Maximus
Advisors. Unless indicated otherwise, statements regarding our
size, our market share and the size of our markets are based on
rental revenues. Although we believe that the information
provided by third parties is generally accurate, we have not
independently verified any of that information. Third party
industry publications and forecasts generally state that the
information contained therein has been obtained from sources
generally believed to be reliable. While we are not aware of any
misstatements regarding any industry data presented in this
prospectus, our estimates, in particular as they relate to our
general expectations concerning the equipment rental industry,
involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based
on various factors, including those discussed under the caption
Risk Factors.

RECENT
TRANSACTIONS
The
Recapitalization
Pursuant to a recapitalization agreement, dated as of
October 6, 2006 (the Recapitalization
Agreement), by and among ACAB, ACF, the Sponsors and RSC
Holdings, on the Recapitalization Closing Date, the Sponsors
acquired and currently own approximately 85% of RSC
Holdings common stock. We refer to this transaction as the
Recapitalization. In connection with the
Recapitalization, certain of our subsidiaries issued and sold
the Notes as well as entered into new senior asset-based loan
facilities, or the Senior ABL Facilities, comprised
of a $250 million term facility and a $1,450 million
revolving facility, and a new $1,130 million senior
second-lien term loan facility, or the Senior Term
Facility, and together with the Senior ABL Facilities, the
Senior Credit Facilities. For a more detailed
description of these facilities and our outstanding indebtedness
thereunder, see Description of Certain Indebtedness.
Recapitalization
Agreement
The Recapitalization Agreement contains customary
representations, warranties and covenants. The Recapitalization
Agreement also provides that ACAB and ACF will indemnify RSC
Holdings and its affiliates, including Ripplewood and Oak Hill,
and their respective officers, directors, stockholders,
employees, agents and representatives with respect to breaches
of representations, warranties, covenants and certain other
matters, in each case, subject to certain time limitations and
dollar amounts, and that RSC Holdings will indemnify ACAB, ACF
and their respective affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, stockholders, employees, agents and representatives
with respect to breaches of representations, warranties,
covenants and certain other matters, in each case, subject to
certain time limitations and dollar amounts. See
BusinessLegal Proceedings.
On the Recapitalization Closing Date, since RSC Holdings
closing capital, as determined pursuant to a modified net worth
formula in the Recapitalization Agreement, was estimated to be
more than the
agreed-upon
benchmark, the Recapitalization Purchase Price was increased by
the amount of such excess over the benchmark, which was
$34.4 million. This $34.4 million purchase price
adjustment was paid on the Recapitalization Closing Date. The
Recapitalization Agreement also provides for a post-closing
adjustment to the Recapitalization Purchase Price. On
January 28, 2007, RSC Holdings delivered to ACAB its
calculation of the final adjustments to the Recapitalization
Purchase Price, which calculation shows that ACABs
estimate of the net amount of adjustments to the
Recapitalization Purchase Price was approximately
$14.7 million lower than the actual net amount of such
adjustments, and that a payment in that amount is due from RSC
Holdings to ACF. ACAB has until March 29, 2007 to review
RSC Holdings calculation of the final adjustments to the
Recapitalization Purchase Price. If ACAB disputes any of RSC
Holdings calculations and ACAB and RSC Holdings cannot
resolve such dispute, the matter will be referred to (i) a
mutually agreed-upon person or (ii) a panel of three
qualified accounting experts to be selected by the American
Arbitration Association. If the actual net amount of adjustments
to the Recapitalization Purchase Price is ultimately determined
to be different from the actual net amount set forth on RSC
Holdings calculation of such adjustments, the payment due
from RSC Holdings to ACF will be reduced or increased, as
applicable, by that amount. RSC Holdings may cause certain of
its subsidiaries, including RSC Holdings III, LLC, to
obtain the funds necessary to make the required purchase price
adjustment payment, as finally determined, by drawing on the
available borrowings under the Senior ABL Facilities and
distributing the proceeds to RSC Holdings.
Contingent
Earn-Out Notes
RSC Holdings may be required to issue contingent earn-out notes
pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement if RSC achieves
cumulative adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the
31
Recapitalization Agreement) targets described below. If
RSCs cumulative adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007 (the
2006-2007
EBITDA) is at least $1.54 billion, then on
April 1, 2008, RSC Holdings will issue to ACF a contingent
earn-out note, in a principal amount equal to:
(i) $150 million if the
2006-2007
EBITDA is $1.662 billion or greater;
(ii) If the
2006-2007
EBITDA is between $1.54 billion and $1.662 billion, an
amount equal to (x) $150 million multiplied by
(y) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is an amount
equal to the
2006-2007
EBITDA minus $1.54 billion and (B) the denominator of
which is $122 million; and
(iii) An additional amount, computed like interest
(compounded semiannually) at the lesser of 11.5% per annum
and the applicable federal rate plus 4.99% per annum from
April 1, 2008 until the contingent earn-out note is issued,
on the amount described in clause (i) or clause (ii)
above, as applicable.
If RSCs cumulative adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2008 (the 2008 EBITDA) is at
least $880 million, then on April 1, 2009, RSC
Holdings will issue to ACF a second contingent earn-out note, in
a principal amount equal to:
(i) $250 million if the 2008 EBITDA is
$1.015 billion or greater;
(ii) If the 2008 EBITDA is between $880 million and
$1.015 billion, an amount equal to
(x) $250 million multiplied by (y) a fraction
(A) the numerator of which is an amount equal to the 2008
EBITDA minus $880 million and (B) the denominator of
which is $135 million; and
(iii) An additional amount, computed like interest
(compounded semiannually) at the lesser of 11.5% per annum
and the applicable federal rate plus 4.99% per annum from
April 1, 2009 until the contingent earn-out note is issued,
on the amount described in clause (i) or clause (ii)
above, as applicable.
Each contingent earn-out note will mature on the earlier of the
date that is 11 years from issuance and the date that is
six months after the final maturity date of the longest dated
debt of RSC Holdings or any of its subsidiaries with a principal
amount in excess of $100 million outstanding on the date of
issuance of such contingent earn-out note. Interest will be
added to principal semi-annually and will be payable at
maturity. The interest rate will be compounded semiannually and
equal to the lesser of 11.5% per annum and the applicable
federal rate plus 4.99% per annum.
If, after an underwritten initial public offering of RSC
Holdingss common equity, certain persons associated with
the Sponsors cease to control 40% in the aggregate of the number
of shares of common equity owned by the Sponsors and their
affiliates immediately after the closing of the Recapitalization
(a Loss of Control), RSC Holdings must make
semi-annual payments of current period interest on the
contingent earn-out notes (x) first, on the longest-dated
contingent earn-out notes then outstanding (pro rata among all
such notes) if and to the extent 50% of available cash (as
defined in the Recapitalization Agreement) on the date of such
payments is sufficient to make such payments, and
(y) second, on the other contingent earn-out notes then
outstanding (pro rata among all such notes) if and to the extent
the payments made pursuant to the foregoing
clause (x) are less than 50% of available cash on such
dates. Any amount of such current period interest that is not so
paid on any such date shall be added to the principal. In
addition, RSC Holdings will cause its subsidiaries to refrain
from taking certain actions that will impair RSC Holdingss
ability to pay current interest on the contingent earn-out
notes. Furthermore, following a Loss of Control, additional
interest under the notes shall accrue at the semiannual interest
rate that, with semiannual compounding, produces an
32
incremental annual yield to maturity of 1.50%. The offering and
sale of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus will not
result in a Loss of Control.
Generally, if RSC Holdings receives after the Recapitalization
Closing Date proceeds of certain dividends, redemptions or other
distributions (Qualifying Proceeds) in excess of
$150,000,000, we are required to use 50% of such excess
Qualifying Proceeds, less the aggregate amount of all optional
prepayments made under all of our contingent earn-out notes (the
Aggregate Optional Prepayment), to prepay any
outstanding contingent earn-out notes. However, if, after the
Recapitalization Closing Date but prior to the date on which a
contingent earn-out note is first issued (the Issue
Date), we have received Qualifying Proceeds
(Pre-Issue Proceeds) in excess of $150,000,000, we
are required to use 100% of any Qualifying Proceeds received
after the Issue Date (Post-Issue Proceeds) to prepay
any outstanding notes until we have prepaid an amount equal to
(x) the amount by which the Pre-Issue Proceeds exceed
$150,000,000 minus (y) the Aggregate Optional Prepayment.
Thereafter, we are required to use 50% of all Post-Issue
Proceeds, less the Aggregate Optional Prepayments, to prepay the
notes.
Recent Sale of
Unregistered Securities
On or around November 17, 2006, RSC Holdings offered
certain of its officers, or trusts of which its officers were
beneficiaries, the opportunity to purchase up to
26,366.30 shares of RSC Holdings common stock for an
aggregate offering price of up to approximately $6,440,000. The
officers and trusts purchased all 26,366.30 shares that
were offered for a total purchase price of approximately
$6,440,000. The purchases of the shares closed as of
December 4, 2006 and December 19, 2006. We refer to
these purchases as the Management Offerings. All of
the participating officers and trusts have granted the Sponsors
an irrevocable proxy to vote or act by unanimous written consent
with respect to their purchased shares. Accordingly, the
Sponsors have the sole authority to vote the shares held by the
officers and trusts.
As of the closings of their respective purchases, the officers
were granted options to purchase up to, in the aggregate,
117,428.09 additional shares of RSC Holdings common stock in the
future. The options are subject to vesting as follows: one third
of the options will vest over a five-year time period, subject
to the officers continued employment with RSC Holdings or
its subsidiaries, and two thirds of the options will vest, or
fail to vest, based on RSC Holdings financial performance.
All options have an exercise price of $244.25.
33
USE OF
PROCEEDS
We estimate that our net proceeds from the sale
of shares
of our common stock being offered by us pursuant to this
prospectus at an assumed initial public offering price of
$ per share, the midpoint of
the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after
deducting estimated underwriting discounts and estimated
offering expenses, will be approximately
$ million (or
$ million if the
overallotment option is exercised in full). A $1.00 increase
(decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of
$ per share would increase
(decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by
$ million, assuming the
number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page
of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the
estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated
expenses payable by us.
We intend to use the net proceeds to us from the sale of common
stock to repay $ of our
existing indebtedness with the remainder to be used for general
corporate purposes.
34
DIVIDEND
POLICY
We do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock for the
foreseeable future. Instead, we anticipate that all of our
earnings in the foreseeable future will be used for the
operation and growth of our business. Our ability to pay
dividends to holders of our common stock is limited as a
practical matter by the Senior Credit Facilities and the
indenture governing the Notes, insofar as we may seek to pay
dividends out of funds made available to us, because our
subsidiaries debt facilities directly or indirectly
restrict our subsidiaries ability to pay dividends or make
loans to us. In addition, if our contingent earn-out notes are
issued, our ability to pay dividends will be restricted by our
obligation to make certain mandatory prepayments to the holders
of such notes. See Recent
TransactionsRecapitalization AgreementContingent
Earn-Out Notes. Any future determination to pay dividends
on our common stock is subject to the discretion of our Board
and will depend upon various factors, including our results of
operations, financial condition, liquidity requirements,
restrictions that may be imposed by applicable law and our
contracts, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board.

DILUTION
If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted
to the extent of the difference between the initial public
offering price of the shares of our common stock and the net
tangible book value per share after this offering.
Net tangible book value (deficit) per share represents the
amount of total book value of tangible assets less total
liabilities, divided by the number of shares of common stock
then outstanding. Our net tangible book value (deficit) as of
September 30, 2006 was
$ million, or
$ per share, based on
the shares
of common stock outstanding as of such date. After giving effect
to our sale
of shares
in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of
$ per share, the midpoint of
the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and
after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and
estimated offering expenses, our pro forma net tangible book
value (deficit) as of September 30, 2006 would have been
$ million, or
$ per share. This represents
an immediate increase in the pro forma net tangible book value
of $ per share to existing
stockholders and an immediate and substantial dilution of
$ per share to new investors
purchasing shares in this offering. If the initial offering
price is higher or lower, the dilution to new investors
purchasing our common stock will be greater or less,
respectively. The following table illustrates this dilution:

The following table summarizes as of September 30, 2006 the
total number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the
total consideration paid to us, and the weighted average price
per share paid by existing stockholders and by new investors
purchasing shares from us in this offering at our assumed
initial public offering price of
$ per share, the midpoint of
the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and
before deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering
expenses payable by us.

The number of shares held by the existing stockholders will be
reduced to the extent the underwriters exercise their option to
purchase additional shares. If the underwriters fully exercise
their option, the existing stockholders will own a total
of shares,
or approximately % of our
total outstanding shares.
The foregoing discussion and tables assume no exercise of
outstanding stock options. As of December 31, 2006, there
were options outstanding to purchase a total of
117,428.09 shares of our common stock at a weighted average
exercise price of $244.25 per share.
To the extent that any of these stock options are exercised,
there may be further dilution to new investors. See
Capitalization and Management.
In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to
market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe
we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating
plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through
the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance
of such securities could result in further dilution to our
stockholders.

UNAUDITED PRO
FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated
financial statements have been derived from our historical
audited annual consolidated financial statements and our
historical unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
The unaudited pro forma as adjusted financial data below for the
year ended December 31, 2005 and the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 give effect to (i) the
Recapitalization and the use of the net proceeds therefrom and
(ii) the sale
of shares
of common stock offered by this prospectus at an assumed initial
offering price of $ per
share, the midpoint of the range set forth on cover page of this
prospectus, and the use of net proceeds therefrom, as if such
transactions had occurred on January 1, 2005 for income
statement purposes. The unaudited pro forma as adjusted
financial data below as of September 30, 2006 reflect
adjustments to our historical financial data to give effect to
(i) the Recapitalization and the use of the net sale
proceeds therefrom and (ii) the sale of common stock
offered by this prospectus at an assumed initial offering price
of $ per share, the midpoint
of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and
the use of the net sale proceeds therefrom, as if such
transactions had occurred on September 30, 2006 for balance
sheet purposes.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements include adjustments directly attributable to the
Recapitalization and the use of the net proceeds therefrom and
the sale of common stock offered by this prospectus and the use
of the net sale proceeds therefrom that are expected to have a
continuing impact on us. The pro forma adjustments are described
in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements. The pro forma adjustments are
based upon available information and certain assumptions that we
believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent
our results of operations or financial condition had the
Recapitalization and the use of the net proceeds therefrom and
the sale of common stock offered by this prospectus and the use
of the net sale proceeds therefrom actually occurred as of such
dates or of the results that we would have achieved after the
Recapitalization and the use of the net proceeds therefrom and
the sale of common stock offered by this prospectus and the use
of the net sale proceeds therefrom.
The Recapitalization has been accounted for as a leveraged
recapitalization whereby our assets and liabilities remain at
historical values and are not revalued and recorded at their
fair value at the time of the Recapitalization.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the information
included in this prospectus under the captions Use of
Proceeds, Capitalization, Selected
Historical Consolidated Financial Data, and
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, and with our
historical consolidated financial statements and the related
notes thereto.

Notes to
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements
(1) The Recapitalization was consummated on
November 27, 2006. The Recapitalization was accomplished
through (a) the repurchase by RSC Holdings of a portion of
its issued and outstanding common stock from ACF for
(i) $3,345 million, as adjusted on the
Recapitalization Closing Date and (ii) the right to receive
up to $400 million aggregate principal amount of contingent
earn-out notes by ACF and (b) the $500 million cash
equity investment in RSC Holdings by the Sponsors in exchange
for a portion of the issued and outstanding common stock of RSC
Holdings. As a result of the Recapitalization, Ripplewood and
Oak Hill each owns 42.735% of RSC Holdings issued and
outstanding capital stock and ACF owned 14.53% of RSC
Holdings issued and outstanding capital stock.
(2) The adjustment reflects $4.8 million received by
RSC Holdings in connection with the Recapitalization for general
corporate purposes net of cash retained by ACAB in accordance
with the Recapitalization Agreement.
(3) The adjustment reflects $68.7 million of deferred
financing costs related to the origination of the debt incurred
in connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes and under
the Senior Credit Facilities (the Recapitalization
Debt). This amount is amortized through interest expense
over the respective terms of the Recapitalization Debt.
(4) The adjustment reflects the repayment of approximately
$1,180.1 million of debt owed to affiliates of RSC and the
incurrence of the Recapitalization Debt totaling
$2,874 million in connection with the Recapitalization. The
Recapitalization Debt consists of $1,124 million of
indebtedness under the Senior ABL Facilities,
$1,130 million of indebtedness under the Senior Term
Facility and $620 million of Senior Notes.
(5) In connection with the Recapitalization, ACAB caused
the $350 million of the outstanding RSC Series A
preferred stock to be owned by RSC Holdings. RSC Holdings
contributed the RSC Series A preferred stock through RSC
Holdings I, LLC, RSC Holdings II, LLC and RSC
Holdings III, LLC to RSC, and the Series A preferred
stock was cancelled.
(6) Transaction costs include one-time fees and expenses
related to the consummation of the Recapitalization and not
otherwise amortized or applied to stockholders equity. The
pro forma amount shown also includes annual management fees of
$6 million.
(7) The pro forma adjustments to interest expense reflect
the repayment of existing debt and the issuance of
$620 million of Senior Notes, $1,124 million of
indebtedness under the Senior ABL Facilities and
$1,130 million of indebtedness under the Senior Term
Facility. The adjustments also reflect payment of the commitment
fee related to the unfunded portion of the Senior ABL Facilities
and amortization of debt financing costs. Our outstanding
capital lease obligations remained unchanged as a result of the
Recapitalization. The pro forma interest expense reflects
(i) a variable interest rate effective as of
September 30, 2006 of 7.12% on $1,124 million of
indebtedness under the Senior ABL Facilities, (ii) a
variable interest rate effective as of September 30, 2006
of 8.87% on $1,130 million of indebtedness under our Senior
Term Facility, (iii) a current interest rate of 0.25% on
$576 million of available and undrawn capacity under the
revolving portion of our Senior ABL Facilities and (iv) an
interest rate of 9.50% on our Senior Notes for the year ended
December 31, 2005 and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. A 0.25% change in the variable interest
rate on our indebtedness would have caused a $5.6 million
increase or decrease in pro forma interest expense for the year
ended December 31, 2005 and a $4.2 million increase or
decrease in pro forma interest expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006.
(8) Adjustment to tax provision based on lower pro forma
income.
(9) Basic and diluted pro forma weighted average shares
outstanding give effect to the Recapitalization, and the
issuance
of shares
sold in this offering. Pro forma basic and diluted earnings per
share is computed by dividing pro forma earnings by the pro
forma weighted average number of shares outstanding for the
period.

SELECTED
HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
The following table presents selected consolidated financial
information and other operational data for our business. The
selected consolidated statements of income data presented below
for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 and
the balance sheet data as of December 31, 2004 and 2005,
have been derived from our audited financial statements included
in this prospectus. The consolidated balance sheet data at
December 31, 2003 have been derived from our unaudited
consolidated balance sheet for that period.
The statements of income data for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2006, and the balance sheet data as
of September 30, 2006, have been derived from our unaudited
consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus.
Our financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2001 were audited by Arthur Andersen LLP. Our current auditors,
KPMG LLP, have been unable to obtain access to Arthur Andersen
LLPs work papers for this period. In addition, KPMG LLP
was not able to audit our financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2002 because an opening audited balance
sheet could not be verified and relied on, due to Arthur
Andersen LLP having conducted the 2001 audit of our financial
statements. As such, producing audited financial statements for
the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 would be unduly
burdensome and expensive. Consequently, we have not included
selected financial data below for those periods.
You should read the following information in conjunction with
the section of this prospectus entitled Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, our unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements and our audited annual consolidated financial
statements and related notes beginning on
page F-1
of this prospectus.

MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our results of
operations and financial condition covers periods prior to the
Recapitalization Closing Date. Accordingly, the discussion and
analysis of historical periods does not reflect the significant
impact that the Recapitalization will have on us, including
significantly increased leverage and liquidity requirements. See
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements. The statements in the discussion and analysis
regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding the
performance of our business and the other non-historical
statements in the discussion and analysis are forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to
numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to,
the risks and uncertainties described in Risk
Factors. Our actual results may differ materially from
those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.
You should read the following discussion together with the
sections entitled Risk Factors, Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,
Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data, and
our unaudited interim consolidated and audited annual
consolidated financial statements and related notes included in
this prospectus.
Overview
We are one of the largest equipment rental providers in North
America. As of September 30, 2006, we operate through a
network of 452 rental locations across nine regions in the
United States and parts of Canada, and we believe we are the
largest or second largest equipment rental provider in the
majority of the regions in which we operate. During the eighteen
months ended September 30, 2006, we serviced over 480,000
customers primarily in the non-residential construction and
industrial markets. We rent a broad selection of equipment
ranging from large equipment such as backhoes, forklifts, air
compressors, scissor lifts, booms and skid-steer loaders to
smaller items such as pumps, generators, welders and electric
hand tools. We also sell used equipment, parts, merchandise and
supplies for maintenance, repair and operations.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we generated
revenues, income before provision for income taxes and net
income of $1,227.3 million, $247.3 million and
$154.5 million, respectively. For the year ended
December 31, 2005, we generated revenues, income before
provision for income taxes and net income of
$1,460.8 million, $257.8 million and
$164.2 million, respectively.
For trends affecting our business and the markets in which we
operate see Factors Affecting Our Results of
Operations below and also Risk FactorsRisks
Related to Our Business, and Industry Overview.
Factors Affecting
Our Results of Operations
Our revenues and operating results are driven in large part by
activities in the non-residential construction and industrial
markets. These markets are cyclical with activity levels that
tend to increase in line with growth in gross domestic product
and decline during times of economic weakness. In addition,
activity in the construction market tends to be susceptible to
seasonal fluctuations in certain parts of the country. This
results in changes in demand for our rental equipment. The
cyclicality and seasonality of the equipment rental industry
result in variable demand and, therefore, our revenues and
operating results may fluctuate from period to period.
Our revenues and operating results are also affected by price
increases for raw materials and energy, which have led to an
increase in our equipment costs from many of our manufacturers.
To the extent that demand for rental equipment falls and, in
particular, if demand for such equipment falls below supply, we
may not be able to set rental rates and
47
resell used equipment at prices that will offset increased
equipment costs resulting from increased raw materials and
energy costs.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results
of operations are based upon our audited annual consolidated
financial statements and our unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect
the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes.
We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the
more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation
of our financial statements and changes in these judgments and
estimates may impact future results of operations and financial
condition. For additional discussion of our accounting policies,
see note 2 to the notes to our audited annual consolidated
financial statements included in this prospectus.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful
accounts. Management develops its estimate of this allowance
based on our historical experience with specific customers, its
understanding of our current economic circumstances, and its own
judgment as to the likelihood of ultimate payment. Management
also considers our collection experience with the balance of its
receivables portfolio and makes estimates regarding
collectibility based on trends of aging. Bad debt expense is
reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative
expenses in the consolidated statements of income and represents
accounts receivable that are deemed uncollectible by management,
net of amounts recovered during the period that were previously
deemed uncollectible and changes in managements estimates
related to the collectibility of accounts receivable.
If the financial condition of our customers deteriorates, and
impairs their ability to make payments, we may determine that an
increase to the allowance is required Additionally, if actual
collections of accounts receivable differ from the estimates we
used to determine our allowance we will increase or decrease, as
applicable, the allowance through charges or credits to selling,
general and administrative expenses in the consolidated
statements of operations for the period in which such changes in
collection become known. If conditions change in future periods,
additional allowances or reversals may be required. Such
additional allowances could be significant.
Rental
Fleet
Rental equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the equipment using the straight-line
method. The range of estimated lives for rental equipment is one
to ten years. Rental equipment is depreciated to a salvage value
of zero to ten percent of cost. The useful life of a piece of
equipment is determined based on our estimate of the period we
expect such equipment to generate revenue, and the salvage value
is determined based on our estimate of the minimum value we
expect to realize from the disposal of such equipment after such
period. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are charged to
operations as incurred. When rental fleet is disposed of, the
related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from their
respective accounts, and any gains or losses are included in
results of operations.
We have factory-authorized arrangements for the refurbishment of
equipment. We continue to record depreciation expense while the
equipment is out on refurbishment. The cost of refurbishment is
added to the existing net book value of the asset. The combined
cost is fully depreciated over 48 months, which represents
our estimate of the remaining useful life of the
48
refurbished equipment. The total net book value of the equipment
and the total refurbishment cost following completion of the
refurbishment may not exceed the equipments current fair
value, as determined by our experience in the secondary market
for sales of used equipment.
We may adjust these estimates based on changes in our industry
or other changing circumstances. If these estimates change in
the future, we may recognize increased or decreased depreciation
expense for these assets with a correlative impact on gains or
losses on any disposition.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets, such as
rental fleet, property and equipment, and purchased intangible
assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated
future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset.
Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives
are tested annually for impairment in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, and are tested for impairment more
frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset
might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the
extent that the carrying amount exceeds the assets fair
value. For goodwill, the impairment determination is made at the
reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, the fair
value of a reporting unit is determined and compared to its
carrying amount. Second, if the carrying amount of a reporting
unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized
for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting
units goodwill over the implied fair value of that
goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by
allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner
similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. The
residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair
value of the reporting unit goodwill. A significant decline in
the projected cash flows used to determined fair value could
result in a goodwill impairment charge.
Revenue
Recognition
We rent equipment primarily to the non-residential construction
and industrial markets. We also rent equipment to the
residential construction market. We record unbilled revenue for
revenues earned each reporting period which have not yet been
billed to the customer. Rental contract terms may be daily,
weekly, or monthly and may extend across financial reporting
periods. Rental revenues are recognized over the applicable
rental period.
We recognize revenues on merchandise sales when products are
shipped, title passes to the customer and the customer takes
ownership, assumes risk of loss, and collectibility is
reasonably assured. There are no rights of return or warranties
offered on product sales.
We recognize both net and gross re-rent revenues. We have
entered into alliance agreements with certain suppliers whereby
we will rent equipment from the supplier and subsequently
re-rent such equipment to a customer. Under the alliance
agreements, the collection risk from the end user is passed to
the original supplier and revenues are presented on a net basis
under the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
No. 99-19,
Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an
Agent. When no alliance agreement exists, re-rent revenues
are presented on a gross basis.
49
Reserve for
Claims
We are exposed to various claims relating to the business. These
may include claims relating to (i) personal injury or death
caused by equipment rented or sold, (ii) motor vehicle
accidents involving sales, delivery and service personnel and
(iii) employment related claims. We establish reserves for
reported claims that are asserted and for claims that are
believed to have been incurred but not yet reported. These
reserves reflect an estimate of the amounts that we will be
required to pay in connection with these claims. The estimate of
reserves is based upon assumptions relating to the probability
of losses, the nature and severity of individual claims, and an
estimate of future claims development based on historical claims
development trends. These estimates may change based on, among
other events, changes in claims history or receipt of additional
information relevant to assessing the claims. Furthermore, these
estimates may prove to be inaccurate due to factors such as
adverse judicial determinations or settlements at higher than
estimated amounts. Accordingly, we may be required to increase
or decrease the reserves.
Income
Taxes
Prior to the Recapitalization, RSC Holdings had other lines of
businesses and the consolidated tax return of RSC Holdings for
those periods included the results from those other lines of
businesses. Our income taxes as presented in our financial
statements are calculated on a separate tax return basis that do
not include the results from those other lines of businesses.
Under ACABs ownership, RSC Holdings managed its tax
position for the benefit of its entire portfolio of businesses,
and its tax strategies were not necessarily reflective of the
tax strategies that we would have followed or do follow as a
stand-alone company.
Income taxes are accounted for under SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109
deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences of
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the respective tax bases of assets and liabilities and operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is
provided for deferred tax assets when realization of such assets
is not considered to be more likely than not. Adjustments to the
deferred income tax valuation allowance are made periodically
based on managements assessment of the recoverability of
the related assets.
Provisions for deferred income taxes are recorded to the extent
of withholding taxes and incremental taxes, if any, that arise
from repatriation of dividends from those foreign subsidiaries
where local earnings are not permanently reinvested. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
the tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.
Consideration
Received from Vendors
We receive money from suppliers for various programs, primarily
volume incentives and advertising. Allowances for advertising to
promote a vendors products or services which meet the
criteria in EITF
No. 02-16,
Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain
Consideration Received from a Vendor, are offset against
advertising costs in the period in which we recognize the
incremental advertising costs. In situations when vendor
consideration does not meet the criteria in EITF
No. 02-16
to be offset against advertising costs, we consider the
consideration to be a reduction in the purchase price of fleet
acquired.
Volume incentives are deferred and amortized as an offset to
depreciation expense over 36 months, which approximates the
average period of ownership of the fleet purchased from vendors
who provide us with rebates and other incentives.
50
The
Recapitalization
Structure of the
Recapitalization
The Recapitalization was accomplished through (a) the
repurchase by RSC Holdings of a portion of its issued and
outstanding common stock from ACF for
(i) $3,345 million, as adjusted on the
Recapitalization Closing Date, subject to a post-closing
adjustment as described below under Recent
TransactionsThe RecapitalizationRecapitalization
Agreement and (ii) the right to receive up to
$400 million aggregate principal amount of contingent
earn-out notes by ACF, as described below under Recent
TransactionsThe RecapitalizationRecapitalization
AgreementContingent Earn-Out Notes, and (b) the
$500 million cash equity investment in RSC Holdings by the
Sponsors in exchange for a portion of the issued and outstanding
common stock of RSC Holdings. Immediately after the
Recapitalization, Ripplewood and Oak Hill each owned 42.735% of
RSC Holdings issued and outstanding capital stock and ACF
owned 14.53% of RSC Holdings issued and outstanding
capital stock.
Accounting
Treatment
We accounted for the Recapitalization as a leveraged
recapitalization. Under leveraged recapitalization accounting,
RSC Holdings assets and liabilities remain at historical
values and are not revalued and recorded at their fair value at
the time of the Recapitalization.

Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2005 Compared with Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2006
Revenues. Total revenues increased
$163.8 million, or 15.4%, from $1,063.5 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to
$1,227.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. Equipment rental revenues increased
$183.2 million, or 22.2%, from $825.4 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 to
$1,008.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. The increase in equipment rental
revenues was primarily the result of a 16.8% increase in rental
volume and a 5.4% increase in rental rates.
Revenues from the sale of merchandise decreased
$6.2 million, or 8.1%, from $77.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 to $70.8 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease was
the result of our strategic focus on our more profitable rental
operations.
Revenues from the sale of used rental equipment decreased
$13.2 million, or 8.2%, from $161.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $147.9 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, due to the
fact that the quality, age and condition of the fleet reduced
our need to sell and replace existing equipment.
Cost of equipment rentals, excluding depreciation, increased
$45.5 million, or 11.6%, from $390.8 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $436.3 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, due primarily
to increased equipment rental volume with a 22.2% increase in
equipment rental revenues for the same period.
Depreciation of rental equipment increased $29.9 million,
or 19.1%, from $156.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 to $186.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, while decreasing as a
percent of equipment rental revenues from 18.9% in the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 to 18.5% in the nine months
ended September 30, 2006. The decrease is due to our
implementation of capital efficiency initiatives, including a
reduction of unavailable fleet and an increase in fleet
utilization which resulted in an increase in equipment rental
revenue without a proportionate increase in fleet size.
Cost of sales of merchandise decreased $9.2 million, or
17.3%, from $52.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 to $43.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, and gross margin for the
sale of merchandise increased from 31.5% to 38.3% during that
period. Increased margins are a result of our efforts to focus
on targeted products that complement the rental transaction.
Cost of rental equipment sales decreased $16.7 million, or
12.9%, from $129.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 to $112.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006. Gross margin for the sale
of used rental equipment increased from 19.5% to 23.7% over the
same periods, respectively, due to a reduction of sales of older
and under-utilized equipment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$10.1 million, or 11.3%, from $89.1 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $99.2 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and decreased
as a percentage of revenue from 8.4% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 to 8.1% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. The decrease in selling, general and
administrative expense as a percentage of revenue was due to our
ability to leverage our operating efficiencies.
Depreciation and amortization of non-rental equipment increased
$3.1 million, or 12.1%, from $25.3 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $28.4 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily as
a result of an initiative to replace older sales and delivery
vehicles.
53
Total operating expenses increased $13.1 million, or 11.5%,
from $114.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 to $127.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006, and total operating
expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased from 10.8%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to 10.4% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Operating Income. Operating income increased
$101.1 million, or 46.1%, from $219.5 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $320.6 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, representing
a margin improvement from 20.6% to 26.1%. This increase was
primarily the result of our continued focus on rental rate
management and our ability to leverage operating costs.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased
$24.1 million, or 48.8%, from $49.4 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $73.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due
to the fact that, effective January 1, 2006, the rate
charged on certain outstanding debt changed (resulting in an
increase in the effective interest rate on such debt) and an
increase in total debt outstanding from $1,216.1 million to
$1,302.7 million from September 30, 2005 to
September 30, 2006.
Provision For Income Taxes. The provision for
income tax increased $32.6 million, or 54.2%, from
$60.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2005 to $92.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, primarily due to an increase in pre-tax
profits for the nine months ended September 30, 2006
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Net Income. Net income increased
$44.5 million, or 40.5%, from $110.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $154.5 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase
was primarily due to the continued implementation of processes
focused on effective rental rate management, increased operating
efficiencies and profitable rental volume growth.
Year Ended
December 31, 2004 Compared with Year Ended
December 31, 2005
Revenues. Total revenues increased
$132.1 million, or 9.9%, from $1,328.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004 to $1,460.8 million for
year ended December 31, 2005. Equipment rental revenues for
the year ended December 31, 2005 increased
$155.8 million, or 15.8%, from $984.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004 to $1,140.3 million for
the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in equipment
rental revenues was primarily the result of an 8.0% increase in
rental volume and effective rental rate management resulting in
a 7.8% increase in rental rates.
Revenues from the sale of merchandise decreased
$59.8 million, or 36.8%, from $162.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004 to $102.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of our
divestment in November 2004 of Industrial Air Tools, a non-core
merchandise distribution company, as well as our strategic focus
on our more profitable rental operations.
Revenues from the sale of used rental equipment increased
$36.0 million, or 19.9%, from $181.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004 to $217.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 2005, as a result of concentrated
sales efforts to optimize the quality and condition of the
rental fleet.
Cost of equipment rentals, excluding depreciation, increased
$34.9 million, or 7.1%, from $492.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004 to $527.2 million for the
year ended December 31, 2005, due primarily to increased
equipment rental revenues with a 15.8% increase for the year
ended December 31, 2005 over the year ended
December 31, 2004.
54
Depreciation of rental equipment increased $20.0 million,
or 10.4%, from $192.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004 to $212.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005, while decreasing as a percent of
equipment rental revenues from 19.5% in year ended
December 31, 2004 to 18.6% for the year ended
December 31, 2005. This decrease was due to our
implementation of capital efficiency initiatives, including a
reduction of unavailable fleet and an increase in fleet
utilization.
Cost of sales of merchandise decreased $53.0 million, or
43.1%, from $122.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004 to $69.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of our divestment
of our non-core merchandise distribution company, Industrial Air
Tools, in November 2004. Gross margin for the sale of
merchandise increased from 24.5% for the year ended
December 31, 2004 to 32.1% for the year ended
December 31, 2005, largely due to a more targeted product
mix after the divestment of Industrial Air Tools.
Cost of rental equipment sales increased $26.2 million, or
17.8%, from $147.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004 to $173.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005. Gross margin for the sale of rental
equipment increased from 18.9% during the year ended
December 31, 2004 to 20.3% for the year ended
December 31, 2005, due to a reduction of sales of older and
under-utilized equipment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$4.2 million, or 3.5%, from $118.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004 to $122.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2005, but decreased as a percentage
of total revenue from 8.9% for the year ended December 31,
2004 to 8.4% for the year ended December 31, 2005 due to
increased revenue resulting from increased equipment rental
volume, rental rate management resulting in increased rental
rates and increased operating efficiencies.
Depreciation and amortization of non-rental equipment remained
essentially flat from the year ended December 31, 2004 to
the year ended December 31, 2005.
Total operating expenses increased $5.3 million, or 3.5%,
from $150.8 million for the year ended December 31,
2004 to $156.1 million for the year ended December 31,
2005, and total operating expenses as a percentage of total
revenues decreased from 11.3% in the year ended
December 31, 2004 to 10.7% in the year ended
December 31, 2005.
Operating Income. Operating income increased
$98.7 million, or 44.2%, from $223.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004 to $322.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2005, representing a margin
improvement from 16.8% to 22.0%. This increase was primarily the
result of increased equipment rental revenue due to increased
equipment volume growth, rental rate management resulting in
increased rental rates and effective cost management.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased
$18.6 million, or 40.7%, from $45.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004 to $64.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2005, primarily due to an increase
in the interest rate charged by an ACAB affiliate. Effective
January 1, 2005, the rate charged changed, resulting in an
increase in the effective interest rate on such debt.
Provision For Income Taxes. The provision for
income tax expense increased $26.9 million, or 40.3%, from
$66.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 to
$93.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.
The increase is primarily the result of an increase in pre-tax
profits for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to
the same period in 2004.
Net Income. Net income increased
$53.2 million, or 47.9%, from $111.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004 to $164.2 million for the
year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily
due to increased revenues and effective cost management.
55
Year Ended
December 31, 2003 Compared with Year Ended
December 31, 2004
Revenues. Total revenues increased
$110.7 million, or 9.1%, from $1,218.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003 to $1,328.7 million for
the same period in 2004. Equipment rental revenues for the year
ended December 31, 2004 increased $85.3 million, or
9.5%, from $899.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003 to $984.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004. The increase in equipment rental
revenues was primarily the result of rental rate management
resulting in a 6.1% increase in rental rates and a 3.4% increase
in rental volume.
Revenues from the sale of merchandise decreased
$15.7 million, or 8.8%, from $178.4 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003 to $162.7 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily
the result of our strategic focus on our more profitable rental
operations, as well as our divestment in November 2004 of
Industrial Air Tools, a non-core merchandise distribution
company.
Revenues from the sale of used rental equipment increased
$41.1 million, or 29.2%, from $140.4 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003 to $181.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003. This increase was the result
of an increase in our sales of used equipment resulting from our
efforts to optimize the quality and size of our rental fleet.
Cost of equipment rentals, excluding depreciation, decreased
$1.7 million, or 0.4%, from $494.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003 to $492.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004, due primarily to improved
fleet management and resulting cost efficiencies achieved mainly
through improved logistical flow and in-shop management
processes. During this period, equipment rental revenues
increased 9.5%.
Depreciation of rental equipment increased by $4.5 million,
or 2.4%, from $187.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003 to $192.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004, while decreasing as a percent of
equipment rental revenues from 20.9% for the year ended
December 31, 2003 to 19.5% for the year ended
December 31, 2004. This decrease was due to our
implementation of capital efficiency initiatives, resulting in a
reduction of unavailable fleet and an increase in fleet
utilization.
Cost of sales of merchandise decreased $15.2 million, or
11%, from $138.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003 to $122.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004 due primarily to the divestment of
Industrial Air Tools. Gross margin for sale of merchandise
increased from 22.6% for the year ended December 31, 2003
to 24.5% for the year ended December 31, 2004. The increase
was due to a focus on a more targeted product mix after the
divestment of Industrial Air Tools.
Cost of rental equipment sales increased $36.6 million, or
33.2%, from $110.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003 to $147.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004. Gross margin for the sale of used
equipment decreased from 21.3% for the year ended
December 31, 2003 to 18.9% for the year ended
December 31, 2004, primarily as a result of increased sales
of older and under-utilized equipment associated with improving
the quality of the rental fleet.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
$9.9 million, or 7.7%, from $128.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003 to $118.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004, and decreased as a percentage
of total revenue from 10.5% for the year ended December 31,
2003 to 8.9% for the year ended December 31, 2004. The
decrease was due to decreased spending on marketing activities
and information technology services and implementation of
effective cost controls.
Depreciation and amortization of non-rental equipment remained
essentially flat from the year ended December 31, 2003 to
the year ended December 31, 2004.
56
Total operating expenses decreased $9.6 million, or 6.0%,
from $160.4 million for the year ended December 31,
2003 to $150.8 million for the year ended December 31,
2004, and total operating expenses as a percentage of total
revenues decreased from 13.2% in the year ended
December 31, 2003 to 11.3% for the year ended
December 31, 2004.
Operating Income. Operating income increased
$96.1 million, or 75.5%, from $127.2 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003 to $223.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2004, representing a margin
improvement from 10.4% to 16.8%. This increase was primarily the
result of increased equipment rental revenue due to rental rate
management resulting in increased rental rates, rental volume
growth and a reduction in total operating costs.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased
$9.3 million, or 16.9%, from $55.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003 to $45.7 million for the
same period in 2004, largely due to a decrease in average
outstanding debt.
Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for
income tax expense increased $40.3 million from
$26.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 to
$66.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.
The increase is primarily the result of an increase in pre-tax
profits for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to
the same period in 2003.
Net Income. Net income increased
$65.1 million from $45.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003 to $111.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily due to
increased revenues and decreased total operating expenses.
Liquidity and
Capital Resources
Cash and Cash
Flows
As of September 30, 2006, we had cash of $0.6 million,
a decrease of $6.5 million from December 31, 2005. As
of December 31, 2005, we had cash of $7.1 million, an
increase of $2.6 million from December 31, 2004. As of
December 31, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$4.5 million, an increase of $4.0 million from
December 31, 2003.
Our operations are funded primarily by cash provided by
operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities
during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was
$490.8 million, an increase of $26.2 million from the
nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase was
primarily due to increased net income resulting from increased
rental volume and rental rate management. Net cash provided by
operating activities was $558.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005, an increase of $122.9 million from
the year ended December 31, 2004, primarily due to
increased net income and improved vendor terms that allowed us
to make payments on favorable terms after delivery of equipment.
Net cash provided by operating activities was
$436.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2004,
an increase of $95.4 million from the year ended
December 31, 2003, primarily due to increased net income
resulting primarily from rental rate management and an increase
in rental volume.
Our business is highly capital intensive and our primary use of
cash in investing activities is for the acquisition of rental
equipment. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 was $495.9 million, an
increase of $130.7 million from the nine months ended
September 30, 2005. This increase is primarily due to
investment in rental fleet. Net cash used in investing
activities was $462.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2005, an increase of $225.0 million from
the year ended December 31, 2004. Net cash used in
investing activities was $237.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004, an increase of $131.3 million from
the year ended December 31, 2003. The increases during 2005
and 2004 were primarily due to an increase in net expenditures
for rental equipment. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, our expenditures for rental equipment
were $640.2 million, partially offset by proceeds from the
disposal of such equipment of $147.9 million. For the year
ended December 31, 2005, our expenditures for rental
equipment were $691.9 million, partially
57
offset by proceeds from the disposal of such equipment of
$217.5 million. For the year ended December 31, 2004,
our expenditures for rental equipment were $419.9 million,
partially offset by proceeds from the disposal of such equipment
of $181.5 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, our capital
expenditures for property and non-rental equipment were
$16.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2005,
our capital expenditures for property and non-rental equipment
were $4.6 million. For the year ended December 31,
2004, our capital expenditures for property and non-rental
equipment were $33.5 million. For the year ending
December 31, 2006, we anticipate a slightly decreased level
of net expenditures for rental equipment and a slightly
increased level of net expenditures on property and non-rental
equipment compared to the year 2005. See Capital
Expenditures below.
Indebtedness
As of September 30, 2006, we had $1,302.7 million of
indebtedness outstanding, including approximately
$1,180 million of indebtedness owed to affiliates and
$122.5 million of capitalized leases, as well as
$350.0 million of Series A preferred stock. Prior to
the Recapitalization, ACAB caused all of our affiliate
indebtedness to be repaid or capitalized by ACAB or its
affiliates and all of our issued and outstanding Series A
preferred stock to be owned by RSC. In addition, in connection
with the Recapitalization, RSC Holdings contributed the
Series A preferred stock through RSC Holdings I, LLC, RSC
Holdings II, LLC and RSC Holdings III, LLC to RSC, and the
Series A preferred stock was cancelled.
Liquidity
Following the Recapitalization and this Offering
We are highly leveraged and a substantial portion of our
liquidity needs arise from debt service on indebtedness incurred
in connection with the Recapitalization and from the funding of
our costs of operations, working capital and capital
expenditures.
As of September 30, 2006, on a pro forma basis after giving
effect to (i) the Recapitalization and the use of the net
proceeds therefrom and (ii) the Recapitalization and the
use of the net proceeds therefrom and this offering and the use
of the net proceeds therefrom, we would have had outstanding
approximately $2,996.6 million and approximately
$ million of total
indebtedness, respectively, and cash paid for interest during
the nine months ended September 30, 2006 would have been
$185.2 million and
$ million, respectively.
We rely primarily on cash generated from operations and
borrowings under our Senior ABL Facilities to purchase equipment
for our rental fleet. We drew $250 million available to us
under the term loan portion of the Senior ABL Facilities and
$874 million available to us under the revolving portion of
the Senior ABL Facilities on the Recapitalization Closing Date.
We have commitments for an additional $576 million of
borrowings under the revolving portion of the Senior ABL
Facilities (including amounts used to refinance existing letters
of credit, of which approximately $42 million was
outstanding at the closing of the Recapitalization), which
amount is subject to our maintenance of a sufficient borrowing
base under such facilities and a potential reduction as a result
of our obligation to make a payment to ACF in respect of a
post-closing adjustment to the Recapitalization Purchase Price,
as described under Recent TransactionsThe
RecapitalizationThe Recapitalization Agreement. For
further information concerning our Senior ABL Facilities, see
Description of Certain IndebtednessSenior ABL
Facilities. For a discussion of risks related to our
reliance on borrowings under our Senior ABL Facilities to
purchase equipment, see Risk FactorsRisks Related to
Our BusinessOur reliance on available borrowings under our
Senior ABL Facilities and cash from operating activities to
purchase new equipment subjects us to a number of risks, many of
which are beyond our control.
58
Also, substantially all of our rental equipment and all our
other assets are subject to liens under our Senior ABL
Facilities and our Senior Term Facility. None of such assets
will be available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors.
We believe that cash generated from operations, together with
amounts available under the Senior ABL Facilities, will be
adequate to permit us to meet our debt service obligations,
ongoing costs of operations, working capital needs and capital
expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. Our future
financial and operating performance, ability to service or
refinance our debt and ability to comply with covenants and
restrictions contained in our debt agreements will be subject to
future economic conditions and to financial, business and other
factors, many of which are beyond our control. See Risk
Factors and Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements.

Facilities. As of September 30, 2006, on a pro forma
basis after giving effect to (i) the Recapitalization and
the use of the net proceeds therefrom and (ii) the
Recapitalization and the use of the net proceeds therefrom and
this offering and the use of the net proceeds therefrom, we
would have drawn $874 million and
$ million, respectively,
under the revolving credit facility, subject to a potential
reduction as a result of our obligation to make a payment to ACF
in respect of a post-closing adjustment to the Recapitalization
Purchase Price, as described under Recent
TransactionsThe RecapitalizationThe Recapitalization
Agreement, and $250 million and
$ million, respectively,
under the term loan facility. For further information concerning
the Senior ABL Facilities, see Description of Certain
IndebtednessSenior ABL Facilities.
Senior Term Facility. In connection with the
Recapitalization, RSC and certain of its parent companies, as
borrower, entered into a up to $1,130 million senior
secured second-lien term loan facility with DBNY, as
administrative agent, Citigroup, as syndication agent, General
Electric Capital Corporation (GECC), as
co-documentation agent and the other financial institution as
party thereto from time to time. As of September 30, 2006,
on a pro forma basis after giving effect to (i) the
Recapitalization and the use of the net proceeds therefrom and
(ii) the Recapitalization and the use of the net proceeds
therefrom and this offering and the use of the net proceeds
therefrom, we would have drawn $1,130 million and
$ million under this facility. For
further information concerning the Senior Term Facility, see
Description of Certain IndebtednessSenior Term
Facility.
The Notes. In connection with the
Recapitalization, RSC and RSC Holdings III, LLC issued
$620 million aggregate principal amount of
91/2%
senior notes due 2014. The indenture for the Notes contains
covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of RSC
Holdings III, LLC, RSC and its restricted subsidiaries, as
described more fully in the indenture, to incur more debt, pay
dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, make
investments, create liens, transfer or sell assets, merge or
consolidate and enter into certain transactions with affiliates.

For the year ending December 31, 2006, we anticipate net
cash used in investing activities to increase. We expect this
anticipated increase to be attributable to an anticipated
increase in fleet purchases, an anticipated increase in
purchases of property and non-rental equipment and an
anticipated decrease in the proceeds from sales of rental
equipment. The anticipated decrease in proceeds from the sale of
rental equipment is the result of the successful implementation
of our strategy to sell old equipment to rejuvenate the fleet as
well as rationalizing and standardizing the number of brands per
equipment type.
Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risks
We are potentially exposed to market risk associated with
changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
For more information on these exposures see note 2(c) to
the notes to our audited annual consolidated financial
statements included in this prospectus.
Interest Rate
Risk
We have a significant amount of debt under the Senior ABL
Facilities and Senior Term Facility with a variable rate of
interest based generally on an adjusted London inter-bank
offered rate, or LIBOR, or an alternate interest
rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin (or, in the case
of Canadian dollar borrowings under the Senior ABL Facilities,
variable borrowing costs based generally on bankers
acceptance discount rates, plus a stamping fee equal to an
applicable margin, or on the Canadian prime rate, plus an
applicable margin). Increases in interest rates could therefore
significantly increase the associated interest payments that we
are required to make on this debt. We have assessed our exposure
to changes in interest rates by analyzing the sensitivity to our
earnings assuming various changes in market interest rates.
Assuming a hypothetical increase of 1% in interest rates on our
debt portfolio on a pro forma basis after giving effect to
(i) the Recapitalization and the use of the net proceeds
therefrom and (ii) the Recapitalization and the use of the
net proceeds therefrom and this offering and the use of the net
proceeds therefrom, for the nine months ended September 30,
2006, our net interest expense would increase by an estimated
$16.9 million and
$ million, respectively,
without taking into account any potential hedging under the
instruments governing our debt. Pursuant to the terms of the
agreements governing the Senior ABL Facilities and the Senior
Term Facility, we may hedge a portion of the floating rate
interest exposure thereunder to provide protection in respect of
such exposure.
61
Currency Exchange
Risk
The functional currency for our Canadian operations is the
Canadian dollar. In 2005 and the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, 3.4% and 3.8%, respectively, of our
revenues were generated by our Canadian operations. As a result,
our future earnings could be affected by fluctuations in the
exchange rate between the U.S. and Canadian dollars. Based upon
the level of our Canadian operations during 2005 and 2004
relative to our operations as a whole, a 1% change in this
exchange rate would not have a material impact on our earnings.
Inflation
The increased acquisition cost of rental equipment is the
primary inflationary factor affecting us. Many of our other
operating expenses are also expected to increase with inflation,
including health care costs. Management does not expect that the
effect of inflation on our overall operating costs will be
greater for us than for our competitors.
RSC Holdings
Stock Incentive Plan
On November 30, 2006, our Board approved the RSC Holdings
Stock Incentive Plan, or the Stock Incentive Plan.
The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the sale of our common
stock to RSC Holdings named executive officers, other key
employees and directors as well as the grant of stock options to
purchase shares of our common stock to those individuals. See
Executive Compensation and Related
InformationCompensation Discussion and AnalysisRSC
Holdings Stock Incentive Plan.
Recent Share
Purchase by Certain Members of Management
During the last quarter of 2006, we made an equity offering to
approximately 20 of our executives. The shares sold and options
granted to our executives in connection with this equity
offering are subject to and governed by the terms of the Stock
Incentive Plan. The offering closed on December 4, 2006 as
to all of our executives except Mr. Groman, as to whom the
offering closed on December 19, 2006, shortly after he
joined us as our General Counsel. In connection with this
offering, we sold 26,366.30 shares at a purchase price of
$244.25 per share and granted options to purchase an
additional 117,428.09 shares at an exercise price of
$244.25 per share.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48).
FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of
a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return,
and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is
assessing FIN 48 and has not determined the impact that the
adoption of FIN 48 will have on its results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements. This standard defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.
This pronouncement applies to other accounting standards that
require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, this
statement does not require any new fair value measurement. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The Company will be required to adopt
SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.
Management is currently
62
evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 157 and has
not yet determined the impact on the Companys financial
statements.
Prior to January 1, 2006, we applied the intrinsic value
based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees, and related interpretations including FASB
Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain
Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of
APB Opinion No. 25, to account for share appreciation
rights issued by ACAB to selected key RSC employees. Effective
January 1, 2006, we adopted the modified prospective method
of SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share Based
Payment. Under that method, we recognize
compensation costs for new grants of share-based awards, awards
modified after the effective date, and the remaining portion of
the fair value of the unvested awards at the adoption date. As
of January 1, 2006, the share appreciation rights were
substantially vested. As a result, the adoption of SFAS 123
did not have a material effect on our financial position or
results of operations. As the share appreciation rights are cash
settled, they continue to be marked to market and classified as
a liability under SFAS 123.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement
of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.
SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to
prior periods financial statements for changes in
accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine
either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of
the change. SFAS No. 154 also requires that
retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be
limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of
a change in accounting principle should be recognized in the
period of the accounting change. SFAS No. 154 further
requires a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion
method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets to be accounted for
as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in
accounting principle. On January 1, 2006, RSC adopted
SFAS No. 154. The adoption of SFAS No. 154
did not have an impact on its financial position or results of
operations.
FASB Interpretation No. 47 (FIN 47), Accounting for
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, was issued by the
FASB in March 2005. FIN 47 provides guidance relating to
the identification of and financial reporting for legal
obligations to perform an asset retirement activity. The
Interpretation requires recognition of a liability for the fair
value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred
if the liabilitys fair value can be reasonably estimated.
FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years
ending after December 31, 2005. The adoption of FIN 47
did not have an impact on RSCs financial position or
results of operations.
In June 2005, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue
No. 05-6,
Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements
Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business
Combination. EITF
No. 05-6
requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business
combination be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of
the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and
renewals deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of
acquisition. EITF
No. 05-6
further requires that leasehold improvements that are placed
into service significantly after, and not contemplated at or
near the beginning of the lease term, shall be amortized over
the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that
includes the required lease periods and renewals deemed to be
reasonably assured at the date of acquisition. EITF
No. 05-6
is effective prospectively for leasehold improvements purchased
or acquired in periods beginning after June 29, 2005.
RSCs implementation of the guidance in
EITF No. 05-6
did not have an effect on its financial condition or results of
operations in 2005 or for the nine
63
month period ended September 30, 2006 and is not expected
to have a material effect on its financial condition or results
of operations going forward.
In October 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
FAS 13-1,
Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction
Period (FSP
FAS 13-1).
FSP
FAS 13-1
requires rental costs associated with building or ground leases
incurred during a construction period to be recognized as rental
expense and is effective for the first reporting period
beginning after December 15, 2005. In addition, FSP
FAS 13-1
requires lessees to cease capitalizing rental costs as of
December 15, 2005 for operating lease agreements entered
into prior to December 15, 2005. RSC does not capitalize
rental costs from its operating lease agreements. The company
adopted
FAS 13-1
on January 1, 2006. The adoption of FSP
FAS 13-1
did not have an impact on its financial position or results of
operations.

INDUSTRY
OVERVIEW
According to industry sources, the equipment rental market in
the United States was a $29.3 billion industry in 2005 and
experienced a 10.4% compound annual growth rate between 1990 and
2005. This market is expected to grow to $32.5 billion by
the end of 2007. The equipment rental industry encompasses a
wide range of rental equipment from small tools to heavy
earthmoving equipment, and growth is largely driven by two key
factors. First, there is an increasing trend towards renting
versus purchasing equipment. The penetration rate for equipment
rental in the United States has expanded in line with the
increasing recognition of the benefits that equipment rental
offers compared to equipment ownership. Industry sources
estimate there has been an overall growth in rental industry
penetration from 5% of total equipment deployed in 1993 to 35%
in 2005. Second, the industry has experienced growth in its
primary end-markets, which comprise the non-residential
construction and industrial markets.
In 2002 and 2003, industry rental revenues decreased by
approximately $1.0 billion from the level reached in 2001.
This decrease reflected significant weakness in private
non-residential
construction activity, which declined by 13.2% in 2002 and by an
additional 4.5% in 2003 according to U.S. Census Bureau
data. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, private
non-residential construction activity increased 5.5% in 2004
compared with 2003 and increased 7.2% in 2005 compared to 2004.
Our industry is particularly sensitive to changes in
non-residential construction activity because, to date, this has
been the principal end-market for rental equipment. We expect
that with a sustained rebound in non-residential construction,
our industry will continue its long-term growth trend. During
the last down cycle we and other major competitors were able to
cut capital expenditures and generate free cash flow. We believe
any potential downturn in the market is not expected to be as
severe as the 2001 to 2003 period, characterized by significant
depression of rental rates and capacity utilization due to weak
end-market demand, fleet overcapacity and softening used
equipment prices. We believe the equipment rental industry has
evolved into a more disciplined industry, with improved fleet
management and more disciplined pricing.
The equipment rental industry remains highly fragmented, with
large numbers of companies operating on a regional or local
scale and the top 10 companies combined accounting for less
than 30% of the market by 2005 rental revenues. We expect
the larger rental companies to increase their market share by
continuing to offer a wide range of high quality and reliable
equipment available for rent. The outlook for the equipment
rental industry is expected to remain strong, due to such
positive macroeconomic factors as:
|
|
|
|
|
the continuing trend toward rental instead of ownership;
|
|
|
|
continued growth in non-residential building construction
spending, which, according to Maximus Advisors, is expected to
grow 9.3% in 2007; and
|
|
|
|
increased capital investment by industrial companies.
|
Furthermore, the reconstruction efforts in the Gulf Coast have
resulted in increased regional demand for rental equipment,
which we expect to continue in the near future assuming
reconstruction efforts continue.
65
BUSINESS
Our
Company
We are one of the largest equipment rental providers in North
America. As of September 30, 2006, we operate through a
network of 452 rental locations across nine regions in the
United States and parts of Canada, including the high growth
Sunbelt and Gulf Coast regions. We believe we are the first or
second largest equipment rental provider in the majority of the
regions in which we operate. During the eighteen months ended
September 30, 2006, we serviced approximately 480,000
customers primarily in the non-residential construction and
industrial markets. For the twelve months ended
September 30, 2006, we generated approximately 82% of our
revenues from equipment rentals, and we derived the remaining
18% of our revenues from sales of used equipment and other
related items. We believe our focus on high margin rental
revenues, active fleet management and superior customer service
has enabled us to achieve significant market share gains
exclusively through organic growth while sustaining attractive
returns on capital employed. Through September 30, 2006, we
experienced positive same store,
year-over-year
rental revenue growth for the last 13 consecutive quarters, with
same store rental revenue growth of approximately 12%, 18% and
21% and operating income growth of approximately 76%, 44% and
46% in 2004, 2005 and the nine months ended September 30,
2006, respectively.
We rent a broad selection of equipment, mainly to industrial and
non-residential construction companies, ranging from large
equipment such as backhoes, forklifts, air compressors, scissor
lifts, booms and skid-steer loaders to smaller items such as
pumps, generators, welders and electric hand tools. As of
September 30, 2006, our rental fleet had an original
equipment cost of $2.3 billion covering over 1,400
categories of equipment. We strive to differentiate our
offerings through superior levels of equipment availability,
reliability and service, and the strength of our fleet lies in
its age, condition and diversity. We believe our fleet is the
youngest and best serviced in the industry among our key
competitors, with an average fleet age of 24.6 month as of
September 30, 2006. Our young fleet age provides us with
significant management flexibility, and we actively manage the
condition of our fleet to provide customers with well maintained
and reliable equipment and to support our premium pricing
strategy. Our disciplined fleet management strategy enables us
to maintain pricing discipline and optimize fleet utilization
and capital expenditures. As a result, we have a high degree of
equipment sharing and mobility within regions. This enables us
to increase equipment utilization and react quickly to adjust
the fleet size to changes in customer demand. In addition to our
equipment rental operations, we sell used equipment, parts,
merchandise and supplies for maintenance, repair and operations.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we generated
revenues, income before income taxes and net income of
$1,227.3 million, $247.3 million and
$154.5 million, respectively. For the year ended
December 31, 2005, we generated revenues, income before
income taxes and net income of $1,460.8 million,
$257.8 million and $164.2 million, respectively.
Corporate
History
RSC Holdings, formerly known as Atlas Copco North America, Inc.,
acquired Prime Service, Inc. in 1997. In 1998, Rental Service
Corporation acquired Canadian rental equipment business Fasco
Rentals Ltd. and was itself acquired by RSC Holdings in 1999. In
2001, RSC Holdings merged the operations of Prime Service, Inc.
and Rental Service Corporation to form RSC. In November
2004, RSC sold its industrial air tool business and in May 2005,
RSC sold its temperature control rental equipment assets. As of
the Recapitalization Closing Date, ACAB had transferred the
legal entities owned by RSC Holdings (other than Rental Service
Corporation of Canada, Ltd., the limited liability companies
formed in connection with the Recapitalization and RSC) and the
Prime Energy division, which is in the business of renting and
selling
66
oil-free compressor equipment, to affiliates of ACAB. In
connection with the Recapitalization, Ripplewood and Oak Hill
each acquired 42.735% of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of RSC Holdings. See Recent TransactionsThe
Recapitalization.
Competitive
Strengths
We believe that the following strengths provide us with
significant competitive advantages and the opportunity to
achieve continued growth and profitability:
Leading North
American Equipment Rental Provider with National Footprint and
Significant Scale
We are one of the largest equipment rental providers in North
America and we believe we are the largest or second largest
equipment rental provider in the majority of the regions in
which we operate. As of September 30, 2006, we operate
through a network of 452 rental locations in 39
U.S. states and 4 Canadian provinces, including the high
growth Sunbelt and Gulf Coast regions. Our scale and strong
national footprint enable us to effectively service our
customers in multiple geographic locations as well as our
customers with exclusively local needs. In addition, the depth
and breadth of our offerings enable us to service the majority
of the equipment rental needs of our customers across multiple
market segments. We believe that our broad geographical
footprint reduces the impact of regional economic downturns and
seasonal fluctuations in demand, and enables us to take
advantage of growth opportunities, including those arising from
the fragmented nature of the U.S. equipment rental
industry. In addition, we believe our size and market presence
allow us to achieve economies of scale in capital investment.
High Quality
Rental Fleet
We believe our diverse equipment fleet is the youngest, best
maintained and most reliable in the industry among our key
competitors. At September 30, 2006, our rental fleet had an
original equipment cost of approximately $2.3 billion and
an average fleet age of 24.6 months, compared to
$1.7 billion and 44 months, respectively, at the end
of 2003. We employ a rigorous preventive maintenance and repair
program to maximize the reliability, utilization and useful life
of our fleet. In September 2006, 97.4% of our fleet was current
on its manufacturers recommended preventive maintenance,
resulting in high fleet reliability levels and high levels of
our fleet being available to customers for rent. Because our
fleet is young, well maintained and reliable, we expect to be
able to support our premium pricing strategy and broaden our
customer base. In addition, we believe that our fleets
young age and condition enable us to withstand cyclical
downturns in our industry better than our competitors due to our
ability to reduce capital expenditures on new equipment without
compromising the quality of the equipment we offer to customers.
Highly
Disciplined Fleet Management and Procurement Process
Our highly disciplined approach to acquiring, deploying,
sharing, maintaining and divesting fleet represents a key
competitive advantage and is the main reason that we believe we
lead the industry in profitability and return on invested
capital. As of September 30, 2006, we invested
approximately $2.0 billion in new fleet since the beginning
of 2003 to meet customer demand and to optimize the diversity
and condition of our fleet. Our fleet utilization increased from
57% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2002 to over
72% for the twelve months ended September 30, 2006. We
believe that our centralized fleet management strategy is a key
driver of the success of our fleet management process. Our
strategy facilitates the fluid transfer of our fleet among
regions to adjust to local customer demand. We base our fleet
investment decisions on locally forecasted quarterly rental
revenues, target utilization levels and targeted rental rates.
Our corporate fleet management approves fleet investments if the
investments are
67
projected to meet pre-specified return thresholds and the
requirements cannot be satisfied through fleet redeployment. In
addition, we utilize advanced management information systems to
continuously monitor the profitability of our equipment fleet
and our branches, including customer and transaction data, such
as equipment rental rates and utilization. We also seek to
maintain a disciplined and consolidated approach to supplier
vendor negotiations by making equipment purchases continuously
throughout the year rather than through long term purchase
agreements. By avoiding long term supply contracts and placing
equipment orders on a quarterly basis, we are better able to
manage the size of the fleet, profitably grow market share and
make real-time decisions based on efficiency and return
requirements.
Superior Customer
Service
Senior management is committed to creating a customer focused
culture, and we spend significant time and resources to train
our personnel to effectively service our customers. We utilize
innovative service offerings, including Total Control, a
proprietary software system available to customers for
management of their rented and owned equipment fleet and
services, and an in-house 24/7 call center. We also maintain a
proprietary dispatch system combined with a GPS equipped truck
fleet for efficient delivery and
pick-up
processes. We regularly solicit feedback from our customers
through focus groups and annual telephone surveys with
approximately 23,000 calls to customers. We believe that these
customer initiatives help support our premium pricing strategy,
and we estimate that a substantial portion of our total revenues
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was derived
from existing customers.
Diverse and
Stable Customer Base
We serviced over 480,000 customers during the eighteen months
ended September 30, 2006, primarily in the non-residential
construction and industrial markets, and customers from these
markets accounted for 94% of our total revenues for the twelve
months ended September 30, 2006. Our customers represent a
wide variety of industries, such as the non-residential
construction, petrochemical, paper/pulp and food processing
industries. We have long and stable relationships with most of
our customers, including relationships in excess of
10 years with the majority of our top 20 customers. We
continue to diversify our customer base by growing our
long-standing presence in the industrial market. During the
twelve months ended September 30, 2006, no one customer
accounted for more than 1.5% of our total revenues and our top
10 customers combined represented approximately 7% of our total
revenues.
Decentralized
Organizational Structure Drives Local Business
We believe our ability to respond quickly to our customers
demands is a key to profitable growth, and our highly
decentralized organizational structure facilitates our ability
to effectively service our customers in each of our local
markets. We are organized in three geographic divisions across
the United States and parts of Canada, each overseeing three
regions. Each of our nine regions has a regional vice president
responsible for operations and profitability and each region is
split into districts headed by district managers typically
overseeing five to six stores, each managed by a store manager.
Compensation for each of these management employees is based on
local results, targeted operating margins and rental revenue
growth and accountability is maintained on a daily basis through
our operating systems, which provide real time information on
key operational and financial metrics, and monthly reviews of
financial performance. We also conduct formal management review
meetings every four months to assess operational and financial
objectives, develop near-term strategy and discuss personnel
development. Since 2001, our decentralized management structure
has focused

exclusively on organic growth, resulting in same store rental
revenue growth of approximately 12% in 2004, 18% in 2005 and 21%
in the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Experienced and
Proven Management Team
Our executive management team has significant experience
operating businesses in capital intensive industries and has a
successful track record of delivering strong financial results
and significant operational efficiencies. Since 2001, our
management team has transformed our operational and financial
performance by focusing on capital efficiency and returns,
investments in human and capital resources, brand development
and the redesign and implementation of significantly improved
internal processes, including processes for managing our fleet,
operating our stores and pricing our offerings. Our current
management team led the effort to decentralize the business into
nine regions, allowing regional leadership to take
responsibility for regional profit and loss, thereby improving
customer service and results. Under our management teams
leadership, our operating income margins increased from 10.4% in
2003 to 26.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Supporting our management teams initiatives is a highly
motivated and experienced group of nine regional vice presidents
with an average of approximately 17 years of industry
experience.
Business
Strategy

|
|
|
|
increasing our presence in complementary rental and service
offerings, many of which can be offered from our existing
locations and provide incremental opportunities to increase same
store revenues, margins and return on investment;
|
|
|
|
continuing to align incentives for local management teams with
both profit and growth targets; and
|
|
|
|
pursuing selected acquisitions in attractive markets, subject to
economic conditions.

deploy and allocate fleet among our operating regions based on
pre-specified return thresholds to optimize utilization; and
|
|
|
|
use our size and market presence to achieve economies of scale
in capital investment.
|
Further Enhance
Our Industry Leading Customer Service
We believe that our position as a leading provider of rental
equipment to our customers is driven in large part by our
superior customer service and our reputation for such service.
We intend to maintain our reputation, which we believe will
allow us to further expand our customer base and increase our
share of the fragmented U.S. equipment rental market, by
continuing to:
|
|
|
|
|
meet our customers demands for superior fleet quality,
availability and reliability;
|
|
|
|
recruit, train and retain a high quality work force able to
forge strong relationships with customers;
|
|
|
|
provide customers with comprehensive and responsive service,
including through our in-house 24/7 call center; and
|
solicit customer feedback through focus groups and customer
satisfaction telephone surveys to continuously improve our
customer service.
Business
Our business is focused on equipment rental and includes sales
of used rental equipment and sales of merchandise that is tied
to the use of our rental equipment.
We offer for rent over 1,400 categories of equipment on an
hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis. The type of equipment
that we offer ranges from large equipment such as backhoes,
forklifts, air compressors, scissor lifts, booms and skid-steer
loaders to smaller items such as pumps, generators, welders and
electric hand tools. Our rental revenues grew from
$899.2 million in 2003 to $1,140.3 million in 2005,
representing a compound annual growth rate of 12.6%, and we have
grown significantly in Canada, with a 33.8% compound annual
growth rate over the same period.
We routinely sell used rental equipment and invest in new
equipment to manage the age, size and composition of our fleet
and to adjust to changes in demand for specific rental products.
We realize what we believe to be attractive sales prices for our
used equipment due to our rigorous preventive maintenance
program. We sell used rental equipment primarily through our
existing branch network and, to a lesser extent through other
means, including through third parties such as equipment
auctions and brokers.
As a convenience for our customers, we offer for sale a broad
selection of contractor supplies, including safety equipment
such as hard hats and goggles, consumables such as blades and
gloves, tools such as ladders, and shovels and certain other
ancillary products. We also sell a small amount of new
equipment. In the first nine months of 2006, our revenues from
merchandise was $70.8 million, representing 5.7% of total
revenues, down from 7.2% of revenues for the first nine months
of 2005. This reduction of revenues from sales of merchandise
reflects our shift of capital and human resources to and focus
on our more profitable core rental operations, which has allowed
us to grow our operating margins from 10.4% in 2003 to 26.1% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Operations
We are organized into three geographic divisions, each
overseeing three operating regions. Each of these regions is
headed by a regional vice president. Our operating regions
typically
70
have eight to 10 districts headed by a district manager
overseeing five to six rental location stores and each store is
managed by a store manager. Our Canadian region has five
districts and 20 rental locations. Operating within
guidelines established and overseen by our executive management,
regional and district personnel are able to make decisions based
on the needs of their customers. Our executive management
conducts monthly operating reviews of regional performance and
also holds three formal meetings with representatives of each
operating region per year. These meetings encompass operational
and financial reviews and talent assessment, leadership
development and regional near-term strategy. Regional vice
presidents, district managers and store managers are responsible
for management and customer service in their respective areas
and are directly responsible for the financial performance of
their respective region, district and store, and their variable
compensation is tied to the profitability of their area.
Customers
We have long and stable relationships with most of our
customers, including relationships in excess of 10 years
with the majority of our top 20 customers. We have steadily
increased our account activations per month over several years
and during the eighteen months ended September 30, 2006, we
serviced over 480,000 customers, primarily in the
non-residential construction and industrial markets. During the
twelve months ended September 30, 2006, no one customer
accounted for more than 1.5% of our total revenues, and our top
10 customers combined represented approximately 7% of our total
revenues. We do not believe the loss of any one customer would
have a material adverse effect on our business.
We have a diversified customer base consisting of two major
end-markets, non-residential construction, and industrial. We
also have customers in the residential construction end-market.
Our customer mix across the regions is similar except for the
Southern and Canadian regions which have a proportionally higher
share of industrial customers. Our customers represent a wide
variety of industries, such as the non-residential construction,
petrochemical, paper/pulp and food processing industries.
Serving a number of different industries enables us to reduce
our dependence on a single or limited number of customers in the
same business and somewhat reduces our dependence on
construction cycles and the seasonality of our revenues.
Customers from the non-residential construction and industrial
markets accounted for 94% of our total revenues for the twelve
months ended September 30, 2006. Non-residential
construction customers vary in size from national and regional
to local companies and private contractors and typically make
use of the entire range of rental equipment and supplies that we
offer. Non-residential construction projects vary in terms of
length, type of equipment required and location requiring
responsive and flexible services.
Industrial customers are largely geographically concentrated
along the Gulf Coast of the United States, as well as in
industrial centers such as Chicago and Fort McMurray in
Alberta, Canada. Many of our largest accounts are oil and
petrochemical facilities that require rental services grouped
into the following activities:
|
|
|
|
|
run and maintain, which relates to day to day
maintenance;
|
|
|
|
turnaround, which relates to major planned general
overhaul of operations; and
|
|
|
|
capital projects, which relate to any expansion or
modification work.
|
In our experience, industrial customers engage in long-term
service contracts with trusted suppliers to meet their equipment
requirements. In order to capitalize on this trend, we operate
rental yards
on-site at
the facilities of some of our largest industrial customers
pursuant to three to five year contracts that may be cancelled
by either party upon 30 days notice. Under these
contracts, we typically agree to service all of our
customers equipment rental needs,
71
including products we do not typically rent. We have also
developed a proprietary software application, Total
Control®,
which provides our industrial clients with a single in-house
software application that enables them to monitor and manage all
their rental and off-rental equipment. This software can be
integrated into the customers enterprise resource planning
system.
Residential construction customers are located throughout the
country and accounted for 6% of our total revenues for the
twelve months ended September 30, 2006. These customers
have less frequent rental needs, often over weekends, and
typically rent smaller equipment and tools.
Customer Service. To ensure prompt response to
customer needs, we operate a 24/7 in-house call center, which we
believe gives us a competitive advantage because few of our
competitors provide this service. Our in-house call center staff
is highly trained and has access to all databases providing
clients with
best-in-class
service. Additionally, customers have full access to all company
employees on call, enabling appropriate support at any time. We
also pursue a number of initiatives to assess and enhance
customer satisfaction. With the assistance of professional
research firms, we conduct customer focus groups to assess brand
awareness and overall service quality perception. In addition,
we contact approximately 23,000 of our customers annually to
determine their overall satisfaction levels. We also test the
quality of our service levels by recording randomly selected
phone calls with customers for coaching opportunities and to
evaluate courtesy and staff knowledge.
Fleet
As of September 30, 2006, our rental fleet had an original
equipment cost of $2.3 billion covering over 1,400
categories of equipment, and in the twelve month period ended
September 30, 2006, our rental revenues were
$1,323.6 million. Rental terms for our equipment vary
depending on the customers needs, and the average rental
term in the twelve month period ended September 30, 2006
was between nine and ten days. We believe that the size of our
purchasing program and importance of our business to our
suppliers allows us to purchase fleet at favorable prices and on
favorable terms. We believe that our highly disciplined approach
to acquiring, deploying, sharing, maintaining and divesting
fleet represents a key competitive advantage and is one of the
main reasons that we lead the industry in profitability and
returns on invested capital. The following table provides a
breakdown of our fleet in terms of original cost as of
September 30, 2006.

Fleet Management Process. We believe that our
disciplined fleet management process, with its focus on capital
efficiency whereby new investments are evaluated on strict
return guidelines and at a local level, enables us to maintain
optimal fleet utilization. Consistent with our decentralized
operating structure, each region is responsible for the quality
of its allocated fleet, providing timely fleet maintenance,
fleet movement and fleet availability. This process is
72
led by regional fleet directors who make investment/divestment
decisions within strict return on investment guidelines. Fleet
requirements are first determined at a local level and are then
evaluated for potential internal equipment reallocation on a
district or regional level. Local revenues are forecasted on a
store-by-store
basis on the basis of targeted utilization and rental rates.
Regional vice presidents use this information to develop near
term regional customer demand estimates and appropriately
allocate investment requirements. As a result of this process,
our fleet time utilization has increased from 57% for the twelve
months ended September 30, 2002 to over 72% for the twelve
months ended September 30, 2006.
The regional fleet management process is overseen by our
corporate fleet management, which is responsible for the overall
allocation of the fleet among and between the regions, evaluates
all electronic investment requests by regional fleet directors,
develops and enforces a ceiling for the fleet size for each
region based on short-term local outlook, return and efficiency
requirements and need at the time, and identifies under-utilized
equipment for sale.
Corporate fleet management will accept an investment request
only if such investment is deemed to achieve a pre-specified
return threshold and if the request cannot be satisfied through
internal fleet reallocation. Divestments or fleet transfers are
implemented when the fleet generates returns below the
pre-specified threshold. If corporate fleet management cannot
identify a need for a piece of equipment in any region, the
equipment is targeted for sale. We realize what we believe to be
attractive sales prices for our used equipment due to our
rigorous preventive maintenance program. We sell used rental
equipment primarily through our existing branch network and, to
a lesser extent through other means, including through third
parties such as equipment auctions and brokers.
We also continuously monitor the profitability of our equipment
through our information management systems. Each piece of
equipment is evaluated on a number of performance criteria,
including time utilization rate, average billing rate,
preventive maintenance, age and, most importantly, return on
investment. We utilize this data to transfer equipment to
locations where the highest utilization rates, highest prices
and best returns can be achieved. We have a strategic pricing
team fully dedicated to developing optimal pricing strategies
for rental equipment. Pricing decisions are done on a local
level to reflect current market conditions. Daily reports, which
allow for review of agreements by customer or contract, enable
local teams to monitor trends and limit heavy discounting that
can suppress rental rates. We conduct continuous training to
educate store managers and sales people on how to keep rental
rates high by providing excellent customer service, adjusting
the fleet size and improving utilization. As a result, rental
rates have demonstrated strong growth and average discounts on
rentals have declined significantly over the last few years.
We have also made proprietary improvements to our information
management systems, such as integrating our maintenance and
reservation management systems which prioritizes equipment
repairs based on customer reservations and time in shop. The
majority of major repairs are outsourced to enable RSC to focus
on maintenance and parts replacement. We have also implemented a
rigorous preventive maintenance program that increases
reliability, decreases maintenance costs, extends the
equipments useful life and improves fleet availability and
the ultimate sales price we realize on the sale of used
equipment. These initiatives have resulted in a reduction of
unavailable fleet as a percentage of total fleet from 28.2% in
the fourth quarter of 2001 to 8.7% in the third quarter of 2006.
During the same period, available fleet remained constant in
absolute terms. This improvement enabled us to reduce the
capital expenditure requirements necessary to grow our business
by approximately $681 million during that period. In
addition, in September 2006, 97.4% of our fleet was current on
its manufacturers recommended preventive maintenance and
maintenance costs as a percentage of rental revenues have
decreased from 9.6% in 2003 to 7.6% for the last nine months of
September 30, 2006.
73
Fleet Procurement. We believe that our size
and focus on long-term supplier relationships enable us to
purchase equipment directly from manufacturers at favorable
prices and on favorable terms. We do not enter into long-term
purchase agreements with equipment suppliers because we wish to
preserve our ability to respond quickly and beneficially to
changes in demand for rental equipment. To ensure security of
supply, we do, however, maintain non-binding arrangements with
our key suppliers whereby we provide a forecast of our
anticipated fleet needs for the coming year so that our
suppliers can plan their production capacity needs. Accordingly,
original equipment manufacturers deliver equipment to our
facilities based on our current needs in terms of quantity and
timing. We have negotiated favorable payment terms with the
majority of our equipment suppliers. We believe that our ability
to purchase equipment on what we believe are favorable terms
represents a key competitive advantage afforded to us by the
scale of our operations.
Over the last several years, we have reduced the number of
suppliers from which we purchase rental equipment to two
suppliers each for almost all major equipment categories that we
offer for rent. We believe that we could readily replace any of
our existing suppliers if it were no longer advantageous to
purchase equipment from them. Our major equipment suppliers
include JLG, Genie, Skyjack and John Deere. During the first
nine months of 2006, we purchased $640.2 million of new
rental equipment compared to $537.1 million during the
first nine months of 2005 and $691.9 million and
$419.9 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Fleet Age. We believe our diverse equipment
fleet is the youngest, best maintained and most reliable in our
industry among our key competitors. From January 2005 to
September 30, 2006, the average age of our fleet declined
from 39.8 months to 24.6 months. Through our fleet
management process discussed above under Fleet
Management Process, we actively manage the condition of
our fleet to provide customers with well maintained and reliable
equipment and to support our premium pricing strategy.
Sales and
Marketing
We market our products and services through:
|
|
|
|
|
a store-based sales force operating out of our network of local
stores;
|
|
|
|
local and national advertising efforts; and
|
|
|
|
our self-service, web-based solution: RSC
Online®.
|
Sales Force. We believe that our sales force
is one of the industrys most productive and highly
trained. As of September 30, 2006, we had inside sales
employees performing a variety of functions such as handling
inbound customer rental requests and servicing customers at the
stores and outside sales employees servicing existing customers
and soliciting new business on construction or industrial sites.
Our sales force uses a proprietary territory management software
application to target customers in their specific area, and we
develop customized marketing programs for use by our sales force
by analyzing each customer group for profitability, buying
behavior and product selection. All members of our sales force
are required to attend frequent in-house training sessions to
develop product and application knowledge, sales techniques and
financial acumen. Our sales force is supported by regional sales
and marketing managers.
RSC
Online®. We
provide our customers with a self-service, web-based solution:
RSC
Online®.
Our customers can reserve equipment online, consult reports, use
our report writer tool to create customized reports, terminate
rental equipment reservations, schedule
pick-ups and
make electronic payments 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
In addition, we maintain a home page on the Internet
(http://www.rscrental.com) that includes a description of our
products and services, our geographic locations and our online
catalogue of used rental equipment for sale, as well as live
24/7 click to chat support.
74
Information
Systems
We operate a highly developed rental information management
system through which key operational and financial information
is made available on a daily basis. Our executive management
team uses this information to monitor current business
activities closely, looking at customer trends and proactively
responding to changes in the marketplace. Our enterprise
resource management system is comprised of software licensed
from Wynne Systems, Inc. and a number of proprietary
enhancements covering amongst others, financial performance,
fleet utilization, service, maintenance and pricing. The system
fully combines all store operations such as rentals, sales,
service and cash management, with the corporate activities
including finance, fixed asset and inventory management. All
rental transactions are processed real-time through a
centralized server and the system can be accessed by any
employee at the point of sale to determine equipment
availability, pricing and other customer specific information.
In addition, we utilize Lawson Associates Inc. software for our
general ledger and human resources information systems, and we
outsource a limited number of other functions, such as payroll
functions. Primary business servers are outsourced to IBM,
including the provision of a disaster recovery system.
Members of our management can access all of these systems and
databases throughout the day at all of our locations or through
the Internet via a secure key to analyze items such as:
|
|
|
|
|
fleet utilization and return on investment by individual asset,
equipment category, store, district or region;
|
|
|
|
pricing and discounting trends by store, district, region,
salesperson, equipment category or customer;
|
|
|
|
revenue trends by store, district, region, salesperson,
equipment category or customer; and
|
|
|
|
financial results and performance of stores, districts, regions
and the overall company.
|
We believe that our use of information technology is a key
component in our successful performance and that continued
investment in this area will help us maintain and improve upon
our customer satisfaction, responsiveness and flexibility.
Intellectual
Property
We have registered or are in the process of registering the
marks RSC and RSC Equipment Rental and certain other trademarks
in the United States and Canada. We have not registered all of
the trademarks we own and use in the business. Generally,
registered trademarks have perpetual life, provided that they
are renewed on a timely basis and continue to be used properly
as trademarks. While we have not registered any copyrightable
aspects of RSC Online, we believe that our use of contractual
provisions and confidentiality procedures provide adequate
protection of our rights in such software.
Competition
The equipment rental industry is highly competitive and highly
fragmented, with large numbers of companies operating on a
regional or local scale. Our competitors in the equipment rental
industry range from other large national companies to small
regional and local businesses. The number of industry
participants operating on a national scale is, however, much
smaller. We are one of the principal national-scale industry
participants in the United States and Canada. In the United
States and Canada, the other national-scale industry
participants are United Rentals, Inc., Hertz Equipment Rental
Corporation and Sunbelt Rentals. Certain of our key regional
competitors are Neff Rental, Inc., Ahern Rentals, Inc. and
Sunstate
75
Equipment Co. A number of individual Caterpillar dealers also
participate in the equipment rental market in the United States
and Canada.
Competition in the equipment rental industry is intense, and is
defined by equipment availability, price and service. Our
competitors, some of which may have access to substantial
capital, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of
pricing or new fleet availability. To the extent that we choose
to match our competitors downward pricing, it could have a
material adverse impact on our results of operations. To the
extent that we choose not to match or remain within a reasonable
competitive distance from our competitors pricing, it
could also have an adverse impact on our results of operations,
as we may lose rental volume.
Employees
As of September 30, 2006, we had 5,114 employees. Employee
benefits in effect include group life insurance, hospitalization
and surgical insurance and a defined contribution pension plan.
Labor contracts covering the terms of employment of
approximately 127 of our employees are presently in effect under
nine collective bargaining agreements with local unions relating
to 21 separate rental locations in seven states. We may be
unable to negotiate new labor contracts on terms advantageous to
us or without labor interruptions. We have had no material work
stoppage as a result of labor problems during the last six
years. We believe our labor relations to be good.
Regulatory
Matters
Environmental,
Health and Safety Matters
Our operations are subject to a variety of federal, state, local
and foreign environmental, health and safety laws and
regulations. These laws regulate releases of petroleum products
and other hazardous substances into the environment as well as
storage, treatment, transport and disposal of wastes,
wastewater, stormwater and air quality and the remediation of
soil and groundwater contamination. These laws also regulate our
ownership and operation of tanks used for the storage of
petroleum products and other regulated substances.
We have made, and will continue to make, expenditures to comply
with environmental laws and regulations, including, among
others, expenditures for the investigation and cleanup of
contamination at or emanating from currently and formerly owned
and leased properties, as well as contamination at other
locations at which our wastes have reportedly been identified.
Some of these laws impose strict and in certain circumstances
joint and several liability on current and former owners or
operators of contaminated sites for costs of investigation and
remediation. We cannot assure you that compliance with existing
or future environmental, health and safety requirements will not
require material expenditures by us or otherwise have a material
adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flow.
We are currently investigating and remediating contamination at
several current and former facilities. As of September 30,
2006, we have accrued approximately $2.2 million for
environmental liabilities which relates primarily to obligations
to investigate and remediate soil and groundwater contamination
at various current and former facilities, which contamination
may have been caused by historical operations (including
operations conducted prior to our involvement at a site) or
releases of regulated materials from underground storage tanks
or other sources.
We rely heavily on outside environmental engineering and
consulting firms to assist us in complying with environmental
laws. While our environmental, health and safety compliance
76
costs are not expected to have a material impact on our
financial position, we do incur significant costs to purchase
and maintain wash racks and storage tanks and to minimize
releases of regulated materials from such sources.
Transportation,
Delivery and Sales Fleet
We lease at variable interest rates vehicles we use for
transportation and delivery of fleet equipment and vehicles used
by our sales force under capital leases with lease periods
expiring at various dates through 2013. Our delivery fleet
includes tractor trailers, delivery trucks and service vehicles.
The vehicles used by our sales force are primarily pickup
trucks. Capital lease obligations amounted to
$122.5 million and $98.8 million at September 30,
2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, and we had
3,761 units and 3,528 units leased at
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
Properties
As of September 30, 2006, we operated through a network of
452 rental locations. Of these locations, 432 were in the
United States and 20 were in Canada. As of December 31,
2005, we operated 447 rental locations. Of these locations,
428 were in the United States and 19 were in Canada. We lease
the real estate for all but four of our locations. The majority
of our leases are for five year terms with renewal options.
Our rental locations are generally situated in industrial or
commercial zones. The typical location is approximately
7,500 square feet in size, located on approximately
2.0 acres and includes a customer service center, an
equipment service area and storage facilities for equipment. We
have expanded our network of equipment rental locations in 2006,
adding 10 new locations in the United States and one in Canada.
Our corporate headquarters are located in Scottsdale, Arizona,
where we occupy approximately 32,800 square feet under a
lease that expires in 2008.
Legal
Proceedings
We are party to legal proceedings and potential claims arising
in the ordinary course of our business, including those
described below. We are currently a defendant in numerous
actions and have received numerous claims on which actions have
not yet been commenced for bodily injury and property damage
arising from the operation of equipment rented from us. In
addition, RSC Holdings is named as one of a number of
co-defendants in actions filed on behalf of plaintiffs seeking
damages for silicosis. RSC Holdings is also named as one of a
number of co-defendants in actions filed on behalf of
plantiffs seeking damages resulting from exposure to alleged
asbestos included in equipment manufactured by our former
affiliates.
Pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement, and subject to
certain limitations set forth therein, ACAB and ACF have agreed
to indemnify us against and defend us from all losses, including
costs and reasonable expenses, resulting from claims related to
the Recapitalization and our business, including, without
limitation: the claims alleging exposure to silica and asbestos
as noted above; the transfer of certain businesses owned by RSC
Holdings but not acquired by the Sponsors in connection with the
Recapitalization; certain employee-related matters; any
activities, operations or business conducted by RSC Holdings or
any of its affiliates other than our business; and certain tax
matters. ACABs and ACFs indemnity for claims related
to alleged exposure to silica entitles us to coverage for one
half of all silica related losses until the aggregate amount of
such losses equals $10 million and to coverage for such
losses in excess of $10 million until the aggregate amount
of such losses equals $35 million. ACABs and
ACFs general indemnity for breach of representations and
warranties related to our business covers aggregate losses in
excess of $33 million, excluding any individual loss of
less than $75,000, and the maximum we can recover is 20% of the
77
Recapitalization Purchase Price, as adjusted in accordance with
the Recapitalization Agreement. ACAB and ACF may not have
sufficient assets, income and access to financing to enable them
to satisfy their indemnification obligations under the
Recapitalization Agreement or that they will continue to honor
those obligations. If ACAB or ACF do not satisfy or otherwise
honor their obligations, then we may be liable for any damages
awarded in connection with a successful action brought against
us and may have to assume the defense of such claims. Any
failure by ACAB or ACF to perform these obligations could have a
material adverse effect on us.
In addition to the foregoing, various legal actions, claims and
governmental inquiries and proceedings are pending or may be
instituted or asserted in the future against us and our
subsidiaries. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and
the outcome of the individual litigated matters is not
predictable with assurance. It is possible that certain of the
actions, claims, inquiries or proceedings, including those
discussed above, could be decided unfavorably to us or any of
our subsidiaries involved. Although the amount of liability with
respect to these matters cannot be ascertained, potential
liability in excess of related accruals is not expected to
materially affect our consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.

Executive
Compensation and Related Information
Compensation
Discussion and Analysis
Overview
This compensation discussion and analysis is intended to provide
information regarding the compensation program of RSC Holdings
for its named executive officers as it has been recently
designed by our Compensation Committee and as it existed in
2006. It will discuss the philosophy of our compensation program
and the structure and manner in which it was developed and
continues to evolve, including the elements, the determination
of executive compensation, and the reasons we use those
elements, in our compensation program.
At the beginning of 2006 ACAB, the parent company of RSC
Holdings, announced its intention to divest its interest in RSC
Holdings. On November 27, 2006, ACAB sold approximately 85%
of the RSC to the Sponsors. As a result of this
Recapitalization, it was essential for RSC Holdings to develop a
compensation program and philosophy that was consistent with
North American compensation practices versus a European based
compensation philosophy.
Compensation
Philosophy
The compensation philosophy of RSC Holdings is based on our
desire to attract, retain and motivate highly talented and
qualified executives while rewarding the achievement of
strategic goals that are aligned with the long term interest of
stockholders. This philosophy supports the need to retain and
attract executive talent with specific skill sets, including
leadership, team work, long-term strategic vision, a
customer-centric focus and strong results orientation. Our
compensation philosophy is aligned with our desire for
profitable growth in our business resulting in our belief that a
significant portion of overall compensation should be at risk
through performance-based incentive awards and equity-based
compensation. This compensation program supports our results
driven culture instilling in management the economic incentives
of ownership and encouraging executives to focus on stockholder
return.
83
Structure
Prior to the Recapitalization, RSC Holdings followed the
established compensation approval guidelines put in place by
ACAB. All compensation decisions regarding the Chief Executive
Officer were approved by the President of ACAB. Compensation
decisions for the other named executive officers were proposed
by the Chief Executive Officer of RSC Holdings and approved by
the President of ACAB.
Following the Recapitalization the Board of Directors created a
Compensation Committee to assist it in fulfilling its
responsibility to stockholders with respect to the oversight of
the policies and programs that govern all aspects of the
compensation of our executive officers. The Compensation
Committee created and will continue to review our compensation
philosophy and approve all elements of our compensation program
for our executive officers. Currently, the Board of Directors
has identified 7 officers as executive officers, due to the
broad scope of their responsibilities and policy-making
authority.
Management assists the Compensation Committee with the alignment
of strategy through benchmarking, plan design, and
administration of our compensation program. Our Chief Executive
Officer, for example, makes recommendations on potential merit
increases for the other named executive officers.
Compensation
Elements
The four elements of executive compensation (1) base
salary, (2) annual performance based incentive,
(3) long-term equity incentive compensation and
(4) benefits are designed to:
|
|
|
|
|
ensure that we continue to attract, retain, and motivate highly
talented and qualified executives;
|
|
|
|
ensure profitable and responsible growth;
|
|
|
|
align annual performance based incentives with our strategic
goals; and
|
|
|
|
align equity compensation with the long-term interests of our
stockholders.
|
Therefore, we have designed our programs to measure and reward
performance based on short and long term company objectives,
including revenue growth, profitability, cash flow and value
creation. These elements of compensation, along with overall
levels of compensation, are evaluated and adjusted every year.
As part of the evaluation process, we compare the compensation
of our senior executives with the compensation of similarly
situated executives at surveyed companies across all industries
with revenues of $1 billion to $2.5 billion. We
accomplish this utilizing recognized published compensation
surveys purchased from leading compensation consulting
organizations. We also review other considerations, such as
business and individual performance, retention, market
conditions, and corporate governance. Following are each of the
four elements of our compensation program discussed in greater
detail:
We provide named executive officers with an annual base salary
to compensate them for services rendered. On an individual
level, we adjust base salaries generally on an annual basis in
June taking into account our compensation philosophy while
assessing each individuals performance and contribution to
our business. During 2006, we increased annual base salaries for
several of our named executive officers due to promotions and
market based adjustments.
Mr. Olsson became our President and Chief Executive Officer
and Messrs. Graham, Foster and Ledlow were promoted to
Senior Vice Presidents of Operations. In addition,
Mr. Sawottke received a partial market based adjustment. At
fiscal year end, the base salaries of our named
84
executive officers were as follows: Mr. Olsson, $550,000,
Mr. Sawottke, $249,100, and Messrs. Graham, Foster and
Ledlow were each at $260,000.
|
|
2.
|
Annual
Performance Incentive
|
We provide annual incentives to drive and reward above-average
performance and, accordingly, incentive targets reflect goal
achievement. In 2006, as a result of the Recapitalization, we
restructured our incentive plan and adopted company-wide changes
that included changes to the incentives that will be offered to
our named executive officers. Under the previous bonus program,
target and maximum level bonuses for our named executive
officers were capped at 50%. To encourage exceptional
performance, we increased the target annual incentives as a
percentage of salary for Mr. Olsson to 45% at threshold,
75% at target and 200% at maximum, Messrs. Sawottke,
Graham, Foster, and Ledlow to 45% at threshold, 75% at target
and 150% at maximum.
Annual incentive payouts are determined by performance against
pre-determined goals. Target annual performance is equal to
achieving 100% of the Board of Directors approved annual
business plan and maximum annual performance reflect results
exceeding 112% of the approved annual business plan. After
giving effect to bonus payments, minimum goal attainment is set
at a 90% threshold of our annual approved business plan.
Attainment of performance criteria will be determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
In accordance with the Commissions rules, what we refer to
below as retention bonus is reported in the Summary Compensation
Table under the column Bonus, while what we refer to
as the annual incentive is reported in the Summary Compensation
Table under the column Non-equity incentive plan
compensation.
|
|
3.
|
Long-Term
Incentive Compensation
|
We provide long-term incentive compensation in the form of
equity-based compensation to create a long-term incentive for
our named executive officers successful execution of our
business plan, to attract and retain key leaders, to align
management with shareholder interests, and to focus our senior
management on our long-term business strategy. In 2004, ACAB,
our parent company at that time, discontinued granting share
appreciation rights under their equity-based incentive
compensation plan. ACAB instead replaced it with a cash based
incentive of 20% of base salary for certain executives. For
fiscal year 2006, no 20% cash bonus was paid due to the
Recapitalization and in its place we established a new equity
compensation program. The new program operates through the RSC
Holdings Stock Incentive Plan (the Stock Incentive
Plan), which provided for the sale of our common stock to
RSC Holdings named executive officers, as well as the
grant of stock options to purchase shares of our common stock to
those individuals and others.
As part of the equity compensation program, each named executive
officer made an investment, at his own discretion, in our shares
of common stock in an amount that was, for him, a material
personal investment, and each executive officer received the
grant of a significant number of options to purchase shares of
our common stock. The options are subject to vesting over a
five-year period with one-third of the options vesting based on
continued employment, and two-thirds of the options generally
vesting based on RSC Holdings performance against
pre-established financial targets based on RSCs
performance against financial targets to be established
annually. All options have a term of ten years from the date of
grant.
Our Board determined the specific number of shares to be offered
and options to be granted to individual employees under the
Stock Incentive Plan. The number of options granted to a
particular named executive officer was determined based on a
number of factors, including the amount of his investment in our
shares, his position with the company, and his
85
anticipated contribution to our success. The 2006 offering to
our named executive officers closed on December 4, 2006.
All option grants were of non-qualified options with a per-share
exercise price no less than the fair market value of one share
of RSC Holdings stock on the grant date. Under the terms of the
Stock Incentive Plan, the Board or Compensation Committee may
accelerate the vesting of an option at any time. The following
table describes the post-termination and change of control
provisions to which options are generally subject; capitalized
terms in the table are defined in the Stock Incentive Plan.

|

substantially equivalent terms and economic value are
substituted for existing options in place of the cancellation.
|
Generally, employees recognize ordinary income upon exercising
options equal to the fair market value of the shares acquired on
the date of exercise, minus the exercise price, and we will have
a corresponding tax deduction at that time.
We provide health and welfare and 401(k) retirement benefits to
our named executive officers and all eligible employees. We do
not provide pension arrangements or post retirement health
coverage for our executives or employees. We also offer a
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan that allows our named
executives and certain other employees to contribute on a
pre-tax basis a portion of their base and variable compensation.
We do not provide any matching contributions to the Nonqualified
Deferred Compensation Plan.
We believe perquisites for executive officers should be
extremely limited in scope and value, yet beneficial in a
cost-effective manner to help us attract and retain our senior
executives. As a result, we provide our named executive officers
with a limited financial planning allowance via taxable
reimbursements for financial planning services like financial
advice, estate planning and tax preparation, which are focused
on assisting officers in achieving the highest value from their
compensation package. In addition, our named executive officers
also receive an automobile allowance. Lastly, we do not provide
dwellings for personal use other than for temporary job
relocation housing. However, during 2006, our Chief Executive
Officer, due to his expatriate status and consistent with the
ACAB policy for expatriate employees was on a housing allowance
and received certain other expatriate benefits. These expatriate
benefits were discontinued in April of 2006.
86
Compensation in
connection with the RecapitalizationRetention
Bonus
Prior to the Recapitalization and in order to ensure business
continuity, ACAB determined it was necessary to provide our
named executive officers with retention benefit agreements to
encourage them to remain in their positions during the
Recapitalization and for a period of time afterwards. The
retention benefit agreements were based on the successful sale
of the company providing for a payout of a multiple of base
salary, 300%, 150%, 100%, 100% and 75% for Messrs. Olsson,
Sawottke, Graham, Foster and Ledlow, respectively. The amounts
were determined based upon the amount of activity required by
each individual to successfully represent the company during the
Recapitalization process. The payments under the agreements were
to be made 50% at the closing of any such restructuring and 50%
12 months following the closing, provided that the named
executive officer was continuously employed by us until then. In
connection with the Recapitalization, the agreements were
amended to provide for a 100% payout at the Recapitalization
Closing Date, so long as the payout was invested in equity of
the company in connection with the Recapitalization. These
amounts are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table under
the column titled Bonus.
Although we have entered into new employment agreements with our
named executive officerssee the section titled
Employment Agreements following the Grants of

Impact on
Compensation Design of Tax and Accounting
Considerations
In designing its compensation programs, the company considers
and factors into the design of such program the tax and
accounting aspects of these programs. Principal among the tax
considerations is the potential impact of Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code, which generally disallows a tax
deduction for public companies for compensation in excess of
$1 million paid in any year to the Chief Executive Officer
and to the four next most highly compensated executive officers,
unless the amount of such excess is payable based solely upon
the attainment of objective performance criteria. Our general
approach is to structure the annual incentive bonuses and stock
options payable to our executive officers in a manner that
preserves the tax deductibility of that compensation.
Other tax considerations are factored into the design of the
companys compensation programs, including compliance with
the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code, which can impose additional taxes on participants in
certain arrangements involving deferred compensation, and
Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, which
affect the deductibility of, and imposes certain additional
excise taxes on, certain payments that are made upon or in
connection with a change of control.
Accounting considerations are also taken into account in
designing the compensation programs made available to our
executive officers. Principal among these is FAS 123(R),
which addresses the accounting treatment of certain equity-based
compensation.

Employment
Agreements
We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Olsson,
our Chief Executive Officer, effective as of August 4, 2006
and entered into employment agreements with the other named
executive officers with the exception of Thomas Zorn, effective
as of November 28, 2006. Thomas Zorn is no longer employed
by us.
Under the agreements, our named executive officers are entitled
to base salary and variable compensation. The agreements fix
base salaries at the levels noted above, and bonus targets and
maximums are expressed as a percentage of base salary under the
RSC Holdings variable compensation plan. The actual amount
of the annual bonus is discretionary and determined based upon
our performance. The executives will also be eligible to
participate in RSC Holdings employee benefit and
equity programs, and will receive an annual car allowance (or in
certain circumstances, use of the company car), and an annual
tax and financial planning service allowance. The employment
agreements with the named executive officers will continue in
effect until terminated by either party, and provide that if the
employment of the executive is terminated without cause or for
good reason (as defined in the agreement), the executive will
receive continued payment of base salary, a pro-rata bonus and
certain benefits for a fixed period of time. All named executive
officers are also subject to confidentiality requirements and
post-termination non-competition and non-solicitation provisions.
RSC Holdings
Stock Incentive Plan
On November 30, 2006, our Board of Directors approved the
RSC Holdings Stock Incentive Plan. The Stock Incentive Plan
provides for the sale of our common stock to RSC Holdings
named executive officers, other key employees and directors as
well as the grant of stock options to purchase shares of our
common stock to those individuals. Our Board of Directors, or a
committee designated by it, selects the officers, employees and
directors eligible to participate in the Stock Incentive Plan
and either the Board or the Compensation Committee may determine
the specific number of shares to be offered or options to be
granted to an individual employee or director. A maximum of
154,693.70 shares are reserved for issuance under the Stock
Incentive Plan. The Stock Incentive Plan was approved by our
stockholders on December 6, 2006.
89
All option grants will be non-qualified options with a per-share
exercise price no less than fair market value of one share of
RSC Holdings stock on the grant date. Any stock options granted
will generally have a term of ten years, and unless otherwise
determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee will vest
in five equal annual installments. The Board or Compensation
Committee may accelerate the vesting of an option at any time.
In addition, unvested time-vesting options will be cancelled in
exchange for a payment if we experience a change in control (as
defined in the Stock Incentive Plan) unless options with
substantially equivalent terms and economic value are
substituted for existing options in place of the cancellation.
Vesting of time-based options will be accelerated in the event
of an employees death or disability (as defined in the
Stock Incentive Plan). Upon a termination for cause (as defined
in the Stock Incentive Plan), all options held by an employee
are immediately cancelled. Following a termination without
cause, vested options will generally remain exercisable through
the earliest of the expiration of their term or 90 days
following termination of employment (180 days in the case
of death, disability or retirement at normal retirement age).
Generally, employees recognize ordinary income upon exercising
options equal to the fair market value of the shares acquired on
the date of exercise, minus the exercise price and we will have
a corresponding tax deduction at that time.
Unless sooner terminated by our Board of Directors, the Stock
Incentive Plan will remain in effect until December 1, 2016.
During the last quarter of 2006, we made an equity offering to
approximately 20 of RSCs executives, including our named
executive officers. The shares sold and options granted to our
named executive officers in connection with this equity offering
are subject to and governed by the terms of the Stock Incentive
Plan. The offering closed on December 4, 2006 as to all of
our executives except Mr. Groman, whose offering closed on
December 19, 2006, shortly after he joined us.

Potential
Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
Each of the named executive officers is entitled to receive
severance if they are terminated without Cause or for Good
Reason. Under the terms of each of the employment agreements
Cause is defined as (i) the failure of the
executive to implement or adhere to material policies,
practices, or directives of the Company, including the Board,
(ii) conduct of a fraudulent or criminal nature;
(iii) any action of the executive that is outside the scope
of his employment duties that results in material financial harm
to the Company, (iv) conduct that is in violation of any
provision of the employment agreement or any other agreement
between the company and the executive and (v) solely for
purposes of death or disability. Good Reason means
any of the following occurrences without the executives consent:
(a) a material diminution in, or assignment of duties
material inconsistent with the executives position
91
(including status, offices, titles and reporting relationships),
(b) a reduction in base salary that is not a part of an
across the board reduction, (c) a relocation of the
executives principal place of business to a location that
is greater than 50 miles from its current location or
(d) the Companys material breach of the employment
agreement.
Under the terms of each of the employment agreements, assuming
the employment of our named executive officers were to be
terminated without Cause or for Good Reason as of
December 31, 2006, each named executive officer would be
entitled to the following payments and benefits:
|
|
|
|
|
For Mr. Olsson, continuation of base salary for
36 months and for Messrs. Sawottke, Foster, Graham,
and Ledlow, continuation of base salary for 30 months if
terminated prior to November 28, 2007 (continuation of base
salary for 24 months if terminated following
November 28, 2007). The potential amounts of the
post-employment compensation with respect to the continuation of
base salary would be as follows: Mr. Olsson, $1,650,000,
Mr. Sawottke, $622,750 and Messrs. Foster, Graham and
Ledlow, $650,000, in each case, to be paid in accordance with
the Companys regular payroll practices;
|
|
|
|
Pro-rata portion of variable compensation for the year of
termination. The potential amounts of the post-employment
compensation with respect to the pro-rata bonus would be as
follows: Mr. Olsson, $222,750, Mr. Sawottke, $114,672,
Mr. Foster, $117,420, Mr. Graham, $115,841 and
Mr. Ledlow, $119,415, in each case, to be paid at the time
that other variable compensation payments are made;
|
|
|
|
Continued payment of the same proportion of medical and dental
insurance premiums that was paid for by the Company prior to
termination for the period in which the executive is receiving
severance payments or until executive is eligible to receive
coverage from another employer;
|
|
|
|
Continued life insurance coverage for the period in which the
executive is receiving severance payments;
|
|
|
|
Accelerated vesting under our 401(k) plan
and/or other
retirement/pension plan on the date of separation;
|
|
|
|
Outplacement counseling and services on the date of
separation; and
|
|
|
|
Reasonable association fees related to the executive
officers former duties during the period in which the
executive officer is receiving severance payments.
|
We are not obligated to make any cash payments to these
executives if their employment is terminated by us for Cause or
by the executive without Good Reason. No severance benefits are
provided for any of the executive officers in the event of death
or disability. The severance payments are contingent upon the
executive continuing to comply with a confidentiality provision
and for the CEO an 18 month and for the other named
executive officers, a 12 month, non-compete and
non-solicitation covenant.
Director
Compensation
None of our current directors received any additional
compensation for serving as a director in 2006. Each of our
directors is either an employee of RSC Holdings or associated
with the Sponsors or ACAB.
Limitation of
Liability of Directors; Indemnification of
Directors
Our certificate of incorporation provides that no officer or
director will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
92
except to the extent that this limitation on or exemption from
liability is not permitted by the Delaware General Corporation
Law and any amendments to that law.
The principal effect of the limitation on liability provision is
that a stockholder will be unable to prosecute an action for
monetary damages against a director unless the stockholder can
demonstrate a basis for liability for which indemnification is
not available under the Delaware General Corporation Law. This
provision, however, does not eliminate or limit director
liability arising in connection with causes of action brought
under the federal securities laws. Our certificate of
incorporation does not eliminate our directors duty of
care. The inclusion of this provision in our certificate of
incorporation may, however, discourage or deter stockholders or
management from bringing a lawsuit against directors for a
breach of their fiduciary duties, even though such an action, if
successful, might otherwise have benefited us and our
stockholders. This provision should not affect the availability
of equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission based
upon a directors breach of the duty of care.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that we are required
to indemnify and advance expenses to our directors to the
fullest extent permitted by law, except in the case of a
proceeding instituted by the director without the approval of
our Board of Directors. Our by-laws provide that we are required
to indemnify our directors, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, for all judgments, fines, settlements, legal fees and other
expenses incurred in connection with pending or threatened legal
proceedings because of the directors position with us or
another entity that the director serves at our request, subject
to various conditions, and to advance funds to our directors to
enable them to defend against such proceedings. To receive
indemnification, the director must have been successful in the
legal proceeding or have acted in good faith and in what was
reasonably believed to be a lawful manner in our best interest.
Prior to the completion of this offering, we will enter into an
indemnification agreement with each of our directors. The
indemnification agreement will provide the directors with
contractual rights to the indemnification and expense
advancement rights provided under our by-laws, as well as
contractual rights to additional indemnification as provided in
the indemnification agreement.

SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
As of February 12, 2007, there were 36 holders of the
common stock of RSC Holdings and no holders of the preferred
stock of RSC Holdings. The following table sets forth
information as of February 12, 2007 with respect to the
ownership of the common stock of RSC Holdings by:
|
|
|
|
|
each person known to own beneficially more than 5% of the common
stock of RSC Holdings;
|
|
|
|
each of our directors;
|
|
|
|
each of the named executive officers in the Summary Compensation
table above; and
|
|
|
|
all of our executive officers and directors as a group.
|
The amounts and percentages of shares beneficially owned are
reported on the basis of the Commissions regulations
governing the determination of beneficial ownership of
securities. Under the Commissions rules, a person is
deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if
that person has or shares voting power or investment power,
which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the
disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a
beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a
right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days.
Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding
for purposes of computing such persons ownership
percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other
persons percentage. Under these rules, more than one
person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same
securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner
of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.
94
Except as otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table,
each of the beneficial owners listed has, to our knowledge, sole
voting and investment power with respect to the indicated shares
of common stock. Unless otherwise indicated, the address for
each individual listed below is c/o RSC Holdings Inc.,
6929 E. Greenway Parkway, Scottsdale, AZ 85254.

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Stockholders
Agreement
On the Recapitalization Closing Date, RSC Holdings entered into
the Stockholders Agreement with ACF, Ripplewood and Oak Hill.
The Stockholders Agreement sets the number of directors of the
RSC Holdings Board of Directors initially at 10, with each
of Ripplewood and Oak Hill having the right to designate four
directors each, subject to reduction if their equity ownership
in RSC Holdings drops below the thresholds specified in the
Stockholders Agreement. In addition, the Stockholders Agreement
reserves to ACF the right to appoint one director, unless RSC
Holdings has issued common stock in an initial public offering
or ACF owns less than 7.5% of the outstanding common stock of
RSC Holdings, and specifies that, unless otherwise agreed by the
Board, the chief executive officer shall be a member of the
Board. Upon completion of this offering, the Stockholders
Agreement will be amended and restated, among other things, to
reflect an agreement between Ripplewood and Oak Hill to increase
the size of our Board to 12 directors. Each of Ripplewood
and Oak Hill will continue to have the right with respect to
director nominees described above, but up to an additional three
independent directors may also be nominated, subject to
unanimous consent of the directors (other than the independent
directors) nominated by Ripplewood and Oak Hill. See
ManagementDirectors and Executive Officers and
Composition of Our Board of Directors.
The Stockholders Agreement requires that all actions of the RSC
Holdings Board of Directors must be approved by a majority of
the directors designated by Ripplewood and Oak Hill
(Majority Approval) as well as a majority of
directors present. In addition, the Stockholders Agreement
provides that any Sponsor that ceased to own 35% of its original
shareholdings would be able to exercise a limited set of special
governance rights, including rights of approval over certain
corporate and other transactions and certain rights regarding
the appointment and removal of directors and Board committee
members. The Stockholders Agreement also gives the Sponsors
preemptive rights with respect to certain issuances of equity
securities of RSC Holdings and its subsidiaries, subject to
certain exceptions, and contains restrictions on the transfer of
shares of RSC Holdings, as well as tag-along and drag along
rights and rights of first offer. Upon the completion of this
offering, the Stockholders Agreement will be amended and
restated to remove the Majority Approval requirement and other
rights of approval described above and preemptive rights and to
retain tag along and drag along rights, and restrictions on
transfers of shares of RSC Holdings, in certain circumstances.
The Stockholders Agreement grants to each of Ripplewood, Oak
Hill and ACF, so long as each such entity holds at least 5% of
the total shares of common stock outstanding at such time, the
right, following the initial public offering of common stock of
RSC Holdings and subject to certain limitations, to cause RSC
Holdings, at its own expense, to use its best efforts to
register such securities held by such entity for public resale.
The exercise of this right is not limited to a certain number of
requests. In the event RSC Holdings registers any of its common
stock following its initial public offering, each stockholder of
RSC Holdings has the right to require RSC Holdings to use its
best efforts to include shares of common stock of RSC Holdings
held by it, subject to certain limitations, including as
determined by the underwriters. The Stockholders Agreement also
provides for RSC Holdings to indemnify the stockholders party to
that agreement and their affiliates in connection with the
registration of RSC Holdings securities.
Monitoring,
Transaction and Indemnification Agreements
On the Recapitalization Closing Date, RSC Holdings and RSC
entered into a monitoring agreement with Ripplewood Holdings and
Oak Hill Capital Management, pursuant to which Ripplewood
Holdings and Oak Hill Capital Management will provide RSC
Holdings and its subsidiaries, including RSC, with financial,
management advisory and other services. RSC Holdings will pay
Ripplewood Holdings and Oak Hill Capital Management an aggregate
annual
97
fee of $6.0 million for such services, plus expenses. In
connection with the Recapitalization, RSC Holdings and RSC also
entered into a transaction agreement with Ripplewood Holdings
and Oak Hill Capital Management, pursuant to which RSC Holdings
has paid Ripplewood Holdings and Oak Hill Capital Management a
fee of $20 million each ($40 million in the aggregate)
for certain direct acquisition and finance related services
provided by Ripplewood and Oak Hill.
In connection with the Recapitalization, RSC Holdings and RSC
also entered into an indemnification agreement with Ripplewood
Holdings, Oak Hill Capital Management, ACF and the Sponsors,
pursuant to which RSC Holdings and RSC will indemnify the
Sponsors, ACF, Ripplewood Holdings and Oak Hill Capital
Management and their respective affiliates, directors, officers,
partners, members, employees, agents, advisors, representatives
and controlling persons, against certain liabilities arising out
of the Recapitalization or the performance of the monitoring
agreement and certain other claims and liabilities. Prior to the
completion of this offering, we will enter into indemnification
agreements with each of our directors. The indemnification
agreement will provide the directors with contractual rights to
the indemnification and expense advancement rights provided
under our by-laws, as well as contractual rights to additional
indemnification as provided in the indemnification agreement.
Agreements with
ACAB
We buy certain of our equipment from affiliates of ACAB, and
certain affiliates of ACAB are participants in the equipment
rental industry. The Recapitalization Agreement contains a
non-compete provision that expires two years following the
Recapitalization Closing Date, and, upon its expiration, ACAB
and its affiliates will be free to compete with us in the rental
equipment industry in the United States and Canada. In addition,
nothing in the Recapitalization Agreement prohibits ACAB and its
affiliates from (i) conducting (a) any business they
conduct immediately prior to closing, including the operation of
the Prime Energy divisions oil-free compressor equipment
rental and sales business, which RSC Holdings will transfer to
an affiliate of ACAB prior to the closing of the
Recapitalization, (b) the business of selling, renting (as
long as such renting is not in competition with our business)
and leasing products they manufacture, or selling used
equipment, (c) the rental equipment business outside of the
United States and Canada, (ii) investing in or holding not
more than 10% of the outstanding capital stock of an entity that
competes with us or (iii) acquiring and continuing to own
and operate an entity that competes with us, provided the rental
revenues of such entity in the United States and Canada account
for no more than 20% of such entitys consolidated revenues
at the time of such acquisition.
For 30 months following the Recapitalization, ACAB and its
affiliates will sell us any product manufactured for sale or
distributed by their portable air and construction tools
divisions on 180 day payment terms, without credit support,
at a reasonably competitive market price that does not reflect
sales on extended credit terms.
For two years following the Recapitalization, ACAB and its
affiliates will not, with certain exceptions, hire any executive
or senior officer (including any regional vice president),
regional director, corporate director or district manager of RSC
or any of its subsidiaries or knowingly solicit any other
employee of RSC or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, for two
years following the Recapitalization, we will not directly or
indirectly engage or invest in any business in the United States
or Canada in competition with our Prime Energy division, which
will be retained by two of ACABs affiliates in respect of
renting oil-free compressors.

of shares of common equity owned by the Sponsors and their
affiliates immediately after the closing of the Recapitalization
(a Loss of Control), RSC Holdings must make
semi-annual payments of current period interest on the
contingent earn-out notes (x) first, on the longest-dated
contingent earn-out notes then outstanding (pro rata among all
such notes) if and to the extent 50% of available cash (as
defined in the Recapitalization Agreement) on the date of such
payments is sufficient to make such payments, and
(y) second, on the other contingent earn-out notes then
outstanding (pro rata among all such notes) if and to the extent
the payments made pursuant to the foregoing
clause (x) are less than 50% of available cash on such
dates. Any amount of such current period interest that is not so
paid on any such date shall be added to the principal. In
addition, RSC Holdings will cause its subsidiaries to refrain
from taking certain actions that will impair RSC Holdings
ability to pay current interest on the contingent earn-out
notes. Furthermore, following a Loss of Control, additional
interest under the notes shall accrue at the semiannual interest
rate that, with semiannual compounding, produces an incremental
annual yield to maturity of 1.50%. The offering and sale of our
common stock pursuant to this prospectus will not result in a
Loss of Control.
Generally, if RSC Holdings receives after the Recapitalization
Closing Date proceeds of certain dividends, redemptions or other
distributions (Qualifying Proceeds) in excess of
$150,000,000, we are required to use 50% of such excess
Qualifying Proceeds, less the aggregate amount of all optional
prepayments made under all of our contingent earn-out notes (the
Aggregate Optional Prepayment), to prepay any
outstanding contingent earn-out notes. However, if, after the
Recapitalization Closing Date but prior to the date on which a
contingent earn-out note is first issued (the Issue
Date), we have received Qualifying Proceeds
(Pre-Issue Proceeds) in excess of $150,000,000, we
are required to use 100% of any Qualifying Proceeds received
after the Issue Date (Post-Issue Proceeds) to prepay
any outstanding notes until we have prepaid an amount equal to
(x) the amount by which the Pre-Issue Proceeds exceed
$150,000,000 minus (y) the Aggregate Optional Prepayment.
Thereafter, we are required to use 50% of all Post-Issue
Proceeds, less the Aggregate Optional Prepayments, to prepay the
notes.

DESCRIPTION OF
CAPITAL STOCK
Overview
The amended and restated certificate of incorporation of RSC
Holdings, which we refer to in this prospectus as our
certificate of incorporation, will become effective
prior to the completion of this offering. It
authorizes
shares of common stock, without par value. There are currently
2,421,466.3 shares of our common stock issued and
outstanding, which reflect a 1 for 100 stock split effected on
November 27, 2006. In addition, our certificate of
incorporation
authorizes shares
of preferred stock, without par value, none of which has been
issued or is outstanding.
Our amended and restated by-laws will also become effective upon
the completion of this offering. We will refer to our amended
and restated by-laws in this prospectus as our
by-laws.
The following descriptions of our capital stock and provisions
of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws are summaries of
their material terms and provisions and are qualified by
reference to our certificate of incorporation and by-laws,
copies of which will be filed with the Commission as exhibits to
our registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
The descriptions reflect changes to our certificate of
incorporation and by-laws that will occur upon the closing of
this offering.
Common
Stock
Each holder of our common stock will be entitled to one vote per
share on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock
entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of
the directors standing for election. Any director may be removed
only for cause, upon the affirmative vote of the holders of
greater than a majority of the outstanding shares of our common
stock entitled to vote for the election of the directors.
The holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive any
dividends and other distributions that may be declared by our
Board, subject to any preferential dividend rights of
outstanding preferred stock. In the event of our liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock will be
entitled to receive proportionately any of our assets remaining
after the payment of liabilities and subject to the prior rights
of any outstanding preferred stock. Our ability to pay dividends
on our common stock is subject to (i) our
subsidiaries ability to pay dividends to RSC Holdings,
which is in turn subject to the restrictions set forth in our
senior credit facilities and the indenture governing the Notes
and (ii) our obligations to make mandatory prepayments on
any outstanding contingent earn-out notes with a certain amount
of dividends from our subsidiaries. See Dividend
Policy.
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription,
redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of our
common stock are, and the shares of common stock offered by us
in this offering, when issued, will be, fully paid and
non-assessable. The rights and privileges of holders of our
common stock are subject to any series of preferred stock that
we may issue in the future, as described below.

|
Preferred
Stock
Under our certificate of incorporation, our Board will have the
authority, without further vote or action by the stockholders,
to issue up
to shares
of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the number
of shares of any class or series of preferred stock and to
determine its voting powers, designations, preferences or other
rights and restrictions. The
106
issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of
holders of common stock. We have no present plan to issue any
shares of preferred stock.
Corporate
Opportunities
Our certificate of incorporation will provide that the Sponsors
have no obligation to offer us an opportunity to participate in
business opportunities presented to the Sponsors or their
affiliates, including their respective officers, directors,
agents, members, partners and affiliates even if the opportunity
is one that we might reasonably have pursued, and that neither
Sponsor nor their respective officers, directors, agents,
members, partners or affiliates will be liable to us or our
stockholders for breach of any duty by reason of any such
activities unless, in the case of any person who is a director
or officer of our company, such business opportunity is
expressly offered to such director or officer in writing solely
in his or her capacity as an officer or director of our company.
Stockholders will be deemed to have notice of and consented to
this provision of our certificate of incorporation.
Change of Control
Related Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and
By-Laws and Delaware Law
A number of provisions in our certificate of incorporation and
by-laws may make it more difficult to acquire control of us.
These provisions may have the effect of discouraging a future
takeover attempt not approved by our Board but which individual
stockholders may deem to be in their best interests or in which
stockholders may receive a substantial premium for their shares
over then current market prices. As a result, stockholders who
might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have
an opportunity to do so. In addition, these provisions may
adversely affect the prevailing market price of the common
stock. These provisions are intended to:
|
|
|
|
|
enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the
composition of our Board;
|
|
|
|
discourage some types of transactions that may involve an actual
or threatened change in control of us;
|
|
|
|
discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights;
|
|
|
|
ensure that our Board will have sufficient time to act in what
our Board believes to be in the best interests of us and our
stockholders; and
|
|
|
|
encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to consult
first with our Board to negotiate the terms of any proposed
business combination or offer.
|
Unissued Shares
of Capital Stock
Common Stock. We are
issuing shares
of our authorized common stock in this offering. The remaining
shares of authorized and unissued common stock will be available
for future issuance without additional stockholder approval.
While the additional shares are not designed to deter or prevent
a change of control, under some circumstances we could use the
additional shares to create voting impediments or to frustrate
persons seeking to effect a takeover or otherwise gain control
by, for example, issuing those shares in private placements to
purchasers who might side with our Board in opposing a hostile
takeover bid.
Preferred Stock. Our certificate of
incorporation will provide our Board with the authority, without
any further vote or action by our stockholders, to issue
preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the number of
shares constituting any such series and the preferences,
limitations and relative rights, including dividend rights,
dividend rate, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption
price or prices, conversion rights and liquidation preferences
of the shares constituting any series. The existence of
authorized but unissued preferred stock could
107
reduce our attractiveness as a target for an unsolicited
takeover bid since we could, for example, issue shares of
preferred stock to parties who might oppose such a takeover bid
or shares that contain terms the potential acquiror may find
unattractive. This may have the effect of delaying or preventing
a change of control, may discourage bids for the common stock at
a premium over the market price of the common stock, and may
adversely affect the market price of, and the voting and other
rights of the holders of, common stock.
Classified Board
of Directors; Vacancies and Removal of Directors
Our certificate of incorporation provides that our Board will be
divided into three classes whose members will serve three-year
terms expiring in successive years. Any effort to obtain control
of our Board by causing the election of a majority of the Board
may require more time than would be required without a staggered
election structure. Our certificate of incorporation will
provide that directors may be removed only for cause at a
meeting of stockholders upon the affirmative vote of the holders
of greater than a majority of the outstanding shares of our
common stock entitled to vote for the election of the director.
Vacancies in our Board may be filled only by our Board. Any
director elected to fill a vacancy will hold office for the
remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which
the vacancy occurred (including a vacancy created by increasing
the size of the Board) and until such directors successor
shall have been duly elected and qualified. No decrease in the
number of directors will shorten the term of any incumbent
director. Our by-laws provide that the number of directors shall
be fixed and increased or decreased from time to time by
resolution of the Board.
These provisions may have the effect of slowing or impeding a
third party from initiating a proxy contest, making a tender
offer or otherwise attempting a change in the membership of our
Board that would effect a change of control.
Advance Notice
Requirements for Nomination of Directors and Presentation of New
Business at Meetings of Stockholders; Calling Stockholder
Meetings; Action by Written Consent
Our by-laws require advance notice for stockholder proposals and
nominations for director. Generally, to be timely, notice must
be received at our principal executive offices not less than
90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first
anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year.
Also, special meetings of the stockholders may only be called by
the Board.
In addition, our certificate of incorporation and by-laws
provide that action may be taken by written consent of
stockholders only for so long as the Sponsors collectively hold
a majority of our outstanding common stock. After such time, any
action taken by the stockholders must be effected at a duly
called annual or special meeting, which may be called only by
the Board.
These provisions make it more procedurally difficult for a
stockholder to place a proposal or nomination on the meeting
agenda or to take action without a meeting, and therefore may
reduce the likelihood that a stockholder will seek to take
independent action to replace directors or seek a stockholder
vote with respect to other matters that are not supported by
management.
Limitation of
Liability of Directors; Indemnification of Directors
Our certificate of incorporation will provide that no director
will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to
the extent that this limitation on or exemption from liability
is not permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law and any
amendments to that law.
The principal effect of the limitation on liability provision is
that a stockholder will be unable to prosecute an action for
monetary damages against a director unless the stockholder
108
can demonstrate a basis for liability for which indemnification
is not available under the Delaware General Corporation Law.
This provision, however, does not eliminate or limit director
liability arising in connection with causes of action brought
under the federal securities laws. Our certificate of
incorporation will not eliminate our directors duty of
care. The inclusion of this provision in our certificate of
incorporation may, however, discourage or deter stockholders or
management from bringing a lawsuit against directors for a
breach of their fiduciary duties, even though such an action, if
successful, might otherwise have benefited us and our
stockholders. This provision should not affect the availability
of equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission based
upon a directors breach of the duty of care.
Our certificate of incorporation will provide that we are
required to indemnify and advance expenses to our directors to
the fullest extent permitted by law, except in the case of a
proceeding instituted by the director without the approval of
our Board. Our by-laws will provide that we are required to
indemnify our directors and officers, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, for all judgments, fines, settlements, legal
fees and other expenses incurred in connection with pending or
threatened legal proceedings because of the directors or
officers positions with us or another entity that the
director or officer serves at our request, subject to various
conditions, and to advance funds to our directors and officers
to enable them to defend against such proceedings. To receive
indemnification, the director or officer must have been
successful in the legal proceeding or have acted in good faith
and in what was reasonably believed to be a lawful manner in our
best interest.
Prior to the completion of this offering, we will enter into an
indemnification agreement with each of our directors. The
indemnification agreement will provide the directors with
contractual rights to the indemnification and expense
advancement rights provided under our by-laws, as well as
contractual rights to additional indemnification as provided in
the indemnification agreement.
Supermajority
Voting Requirement for Amendment of Certain Provisions of our
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws
Our certificate of incorporation will provide that the
provisions of our certificate of incorporation governing, among
other things, the removal of directors only for cause, the
liability of directors, the elimination of stockholder actions
by written consent upon the Sponsors ceasing to collectively
hold a majority of our outstanding common stock and the
prohibition on the right of stockholders to call a special
meeting may not be amended, altered or repealed unless the
amendment is approved by the vote of holders of at least
two-thirds of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of
directors. This requirement exceeds the majority vote of the
outstanding stock that would otherwise be required by the
Delaware General Corporation Law for the repeal or amendment of
such provisions of the certificate of incorporation. Certain
provisions of our by-laws may be amended with the approval of
the vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the shares then
entitled to vote. These provisions make it more difficult for
any person to remove or amend any provisions that may have an
anti-takeover effect.
Delaware Takeover
Statute
We expect to opt out of Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, which would have otherwise imposed additional
requirements regarding mergers and other business combinations.
109
SHARES ELIGIBLE
FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this offering, there was no public market for our
common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of common
stock in the public market could adversely affect the market
price of our common stock. After this offering is completed, the
number of shares available for future sale into the public
markets is subject to legal and contractual restrictions, some
of which are described below. The expiration of these
restrictions will permit sales of substantial amounts of our
common stock in the public market or could create the perception
that these sales could occur, which could adversely affect the
market price for our common stock. These factors could also make
it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings
of common stock.
Sale of
Restricted Securities
After this
offering, shares
of our common stock will be outstanding. Of these shares, all of
the shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without
restriction under the Securities Act, unless purchased by our
affiliates as that term is defined in Rule 144
under the Securities Act. The
remaining shares
of our common stock that will be outstanding after this offering
are restricted securities within the meaning of
Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Restricted securities
may be sold in the public market only if they are registered
under the Securities Act or are sold pursuant to an exemption
from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the
Securities Act, which are summarized below. Subject to the
lock-up
agreements described below, shares held by our affiliates that
are not restricted securities or that have been owned for more
than one year may be sold subject to compliance with
Rule 144 of the Securities Act without regard to the
prescribed one-year holding period under Rule 144.
Stock
Options
Upon completion of this offering, we intend to file one or more
registration statements under the Securities Act to register the
shares of common stock to be issued under our stock option plan
and, as a result, all shares of common stock acquired upon
exercise of stock options and other equity-based awards granted
under these plans will also be freely tradable under the
Securities Act unless purchased by our affiliates. A total of
154,693.70 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance
under our benefit plan.
Lock-Up
Arrangements
We, the Sponsors and our directors and executive officers named
under Principal Stockholders have agreed with the
underwriters, subject to exceptions, not to (1) offer,
sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase,
make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of common
stock or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of
common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable
for or that represent the right to receive shares of common
stock, owned as of the date hereof directly (including holdings
as a custodian) or with respect to which the party subject to
the lock-up
has beneficial ownership or (2) enter into any hedging or
other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could
be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of any
shares of common stock,
for days
after the date of this prospectus, except with the prior written
consent of representatives of the underwriters. Following the
lock-up
periods, we estimate that
approximately shares
of our common stock that are restricted securities or are held
by our affiliates as of the date of this prospectus will be
eligible for sale in the public market in compliance with
Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act.
110
Registration
Rights
Stockholders currently representing substantially all of the
shares of our common stock will have the right to require us to
register shares of common stock for resale in some
circumstances. See Certain Relationships and Related Party
TransactionsStockholders Agreement.
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect,
beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, any
person or persons whose shares are aggregated, including an
affiliate, who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock
for a period of at least one year is entitled to sell, within
any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed
the greater of:
|
|
|
|
|
1% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock; and
|
|
|
|
the average weekly trading volume in the common stock on the New
York Stock Exchange during the four calendar weeks preceding the
date on which the notice of the sale is filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
|
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to provisions
relating to notice, manner of sale, volume limitations and the
availability of current public information about us.
Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been
one of our affiliates at any time during the 90 days
preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares for
at least two years, including the holding period of any prior
owner other than an affiliate, is entitled to sell
the shares without complying with the manner of sale, public
information, volume limitation or notice provisions of
Rule 144.
Rule 701
In general, Rule 701 under the Securities Act may be relied
upon for the resale of our common stock originally issued by us
before our initial public offering to our employees, directors,
officers, consultants or advisers under written compensatory
benefit plans, including our stock option plans, or contracts
relating to the compensation of these persons. Shares of our
common stock issued in reliance on Rule 701 are
restricted securities and, beginning 90 days
after the date of this prospectus, may be sold by non-affiliates
subject only to the manner of sale provisions of Rule 144
and by affiliates under Rule 144 without compliance with
the one-year holding period, in each case subject to the
lock-up
agreements.
111
CERTAIN
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a general discussion of the material
U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences relating to
the ownership and disposition of our common stock by
non-United
States holders, as defined below, who purchase shares of our
common stock and hold such shares as capital assets. This
discussion is based on currently existing provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, existing
and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and
administrative and judicial interpretation thereof, all as in
effect or proposed on the date hereof and all of which are
subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect or different
interpretations. This discussion does not address all of the tax
consequences that may be relevant to specific holders in light
of their particular circumstances or to holders subject to
special treatment under U.S. federal income or estate tax
laws (such as financial institutions, insurance companies,
tax-exempt organizations, retirement plans, partnerships and
their partners, other pass-through entities and their members,
dealers in securities, brokers, U.S. expatriates, or
persons who have acquired shares of our common stock as part of
a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated
investment). This discussion does not address the
U.S. state and local or
non-U.S. tax
consequences relating to the ownership and disposition of our
common stock. You are urged to consult your own tax advisor
regarding the U.S. federal tax consequences of owning and
disposing of our common stock, as well as the applicability and
effect of any state, local or foreign tax laws.
As used in this discussion, the term
non-United
States holder refers to a beneficial owner of our common
stock that for U.S. federal income or estate tax purposes,
as applicable, is an individual corporation, estate or trust
that is not:
(i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the
United States;
(ii) a corporation (or other entity taxable as a
corporation) created or organized in or under the laws of the
United States or any state or political subdivision thereof or
therein, including the District of Columbia;
(iii) an estate the income of which is subject to
U.S. federal income tax regardless of source
thereof; or
(iv) a trust (a) with respect to which a court within
the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over
its administration and one or more United States persons have
the authority to control all its substantial decisions, or
(b) that has in effect a valid election under applicable
U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States
person.
The test for whether an individual is a resident of the United
States for U.S. federal estate tax purposes differs from
the test used for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Some
individuals, therefore, may be
non-United
States holders for purposes of the federal income tax
discussion, but not for purposes of the federal estate tax
discussion and vice versa.
If a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our
common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally
depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the
partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding
shares of our common stock, we urge you to consult your own tax
advisor.
Dividends
We or a withholding agent will have to withhold
U.S. federal withholding tax from the gross amount of any
dividends paid to a
non-United
States holder at a rate of 30%, unless (i) an applicable
income tax treaty reduces such rate, and a
non-United
States holder claiming
112
the benefit of such treaty provides to us or such agent proper
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) documentation or
(ii) the dividends are effectively connected with a
non-United
States holders conduct of a trade or business in the
United States and the
non-United
States holder provides to us or such agent proper IRS
documentation. In the latter case, such
non-United
States holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal
income tax with respect to such dividends in the same manner as
a U.S. citizen or corporation, as applicable, unless
otherwise provided in an applicable income tax treaty.
Additionally, a
non-United
States holder that is a corporation could be subject to a branch
profits tax on effectively connected dividend income, subject to
certain adjustments, at a rate of 30% (or at a reduced rate
under an applicable income tax treaty). If a
non-United
States holder is eligible for a reduced rate of
U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to an income tax
treaty, such
non-United
States holder may obtain a refund of any excess amount withheld
by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.
Sale, Exchange or
Other Disposition
Generally, a
non-United
States holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income
tax on gain realized upon the sale, exchange or other
disposition of shares of our common stock unless (i) such
non-United
States holder is an individual present in the United States for
183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale, exchange
or other disposition and certain other conditions are met,
(ii) the gain is effectively connected with such
non-United
States holders conduct of a trade or business in the
United States, and where a tax treaty provides, the gain is
attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of such
non-United
States holder, in which case the 30% branch profits tax may also
apply to corporate holders, or (iii) we are or have been a
U.S. real property holding corporation for
U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the
shorter of the five-year period preceding such sale, exchange or
other disposition or the period that such
non-United
States holder held our common stock (such shorter period, the
Applicable Period).
We do not believe that we have been, are currently or are likely
to be a U.S. real property holding corporation for
U.S. federal income tax purposes. If we are or were to
become a U.S. real property holding corporation, so long as
our common shares are regularly traded on an established
securities market and continue to be traded, a
non-United
States holder would be subject to U.S. federal income tax
on any gain from the sale, exchange or other disposition of our
common stock only if such
non-United
States holder actually or constructively owned, during the
Applicable Period, more than 5% of our common stock.
Special rules may apply to
non-United
States holders, such as controlled foreign corporations, passive
foreign investment companies and corporations that accumulate
earnings to avoid federal income tax, that are subject to
special treatment under the Code. These entities should consult
their own tax advisors to determine the U.S. federal,
state, local and other tax consequences that may be relevant to
them.
Federal Estate
Tax
Common stock owned or treated as owned by an individual who is a
non-United
States holder at the time of his or her death generally will be
included in the individuals gross estate for
U.S. federal estate tax purposes and may be subject to
U.S. federal estate tax unless an applicable estate tax
treaty provides otherwise.
Information
Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax
Generally, we must report annually to the IRS and to each
non-United
States holder the amount of dividends paid to such
non-United
States holder and the amount, if any of tax withheld. Copies of
these information returns may also be made available under the
provisions
113
of a specific treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the
country in which the
non-United
States holder resides.
Generally, additional information reporting and backup
withholding of United States federal income tax at the
applicable rate may apply to dividend payments made by us or our
paying agent to a
non-United
States holder if such holder fails to make the appropriate
certification that the holder is not a U.S. person or if we
or our paying agent has actual knowledge or reason to know that
the payee is a U.S. person.
Payments of the proceeds of the sale of our common stock to or
through a foreign office of a U.S. broker or of a foreign
broker with certain specified U.S. connections will be
subject to information reporting requirements, but not backup
withholding, unless the payee is an exempt recipient or such
broker has evidence in its records that the payee is not a
U.S. person. Payments of the proceeds of a sale of our
common stock to or through the U.S. office of a broker will
be subject to information reporting and backup withholding
unless the payee certifies under penalties of perjury as to his
or her status as a
non-U.S. person
or otherwise establishes an exemption.
Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a
payment to a
non-United
States holder of our common stock will be allowed as a credit
against such holders U.S. federal income tax, if any,
or will be otherwise refundable, provided that the required
information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable not
later than 30 days after the date of this prospectus, to
purchase up
to
additional shares of common stock at the public offering price
less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the
cover page of this prospectus. The underwriters may exercise
this option only to cover over-allotments made in connection
with the sale of the common stock offered by this prospectus. To
the extent that the underwriters exercise this option, each of
the underwriters will become obligated, subject to conditions,
to purchase approximately the same percentage of these
additional shares of common stock as the number of shares of
common stock to be purchased by it in the above table bears to
the total number of shares of common stock offered by this
prospectus. We will be obligated, pursuant to the option, to
sell these additional shares of common stock to the underwriters
to the extent the option is exercised. If any additional shares
of common stock are purchased, the underwriters will offer the
additional shares on the same terms as those on which
the shares
are being offered.
The underwriting discounts and commissions per share are equal
to the public offering price per share of common stock less the
amount paid by the underwriters to us per share of common stock.
The underwriting discounts and commissions are % of
the initial public offering price. We have agreed to pay the
underwriters the following discounts and
115
commissions, assuming either no exercise or full exercise by the
underwriters of the underwriters over-allotment option:

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and
to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to
make in respect of any of these liabilities.
Each of our officers and directors, and substantially all of our
stockholders and holders of options and warrants to purchase our
stock, have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer,
sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of, or enter into
any transaction that is designed to, or could be expected to,
result in the disposition of any shares of our common stock or
other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
for shares of our common stock or derivatives of our common
stock owned by these persons prior to this offering or common
stock issuable upon exercise of options or warrants held by
these persons for a period of days after the
effective date of the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part without the prior written consent of
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated and Lehman Brothers Inc. This consent may be given
at any time without public notice. There are no agreements
between the representatives and any of our stockholders or
affiliates releasing them from these
lock-up
agreements prior to the expiration of the - day
period.
The -day restricted period
described in the preceding paragraph will be extended if:
|
|
|
|
|
during the last 17 days of
the -day
restricted period we issue an earnings release or material news
or a material event relating to us occurs; or
|
|
|
|
prior to the expiration of
the -day
restricted period, we announce that we will release earnings
results during the
16-day
period beginning on the last day of the -day period,
|
in which case the restrictions described in the preceding
paragraph will continue to apply until the expiration of the
18-day
period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the
announcement of the material news or occurrence of a material
event, unless such extention is waived in writing by Deutsche
Bank Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and
Lehman Brothers Inc.
The representatives of the underwriters have advised us that the
underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to any account over
which they exercise discretionary authority.
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase
and sell shares of our common stock in the open market. These
transactions may include short sales, purchases to cover
positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions.
Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater
number of shares than they are required to purchase in the
offering. Covered short sales are sales made in an amount not
greater than the underwriters option to purchase
additional shares of common stock from us in the offering. The
underwriters may close out any covered short position by either
exercising their option to purchase additional shares or
purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source
of shares to close out the covered short position, the
underwriters will
116
consider, among other things, the price of shares available for
purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which
they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option.
Naked short sales are any sales in excess of the over-allotment
option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position
by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position
is more likely to be created if underwriters are concerned that
there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the
open market prior to the completion of the offering.
Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or
purchases of our common stock made by the underwriters in the
open market prior to the completion of the offering.
The underwriters may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a
particular underwriter repays to the other underwriters a
portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the
representatives of the underwriters have repurchased shares sold
by or for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or
short covering transactions.
Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions
may have the effect of preventing or slowing a decline in the
market price of our common stock. Additionally, these purchases,
along with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize,
maintain or otherwise affect the market price of our common
stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher
than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market.
These transactions may be effected on the New York Stock
Exchange in the
over-the-counter
market or otherwise.
A prospectus in electronic format is being made available on
Internet web sites maintained by one or more of the lead
underwriters of this offering and may be made available on web
sites maintained by other underwriters. Other than the
prospectus in electronic format, the information on any
underwriters web site and any information contained in any
other web site maintained by an underwriter is not part of the
prospectus or the registration statement of which the prospectus
forms a part.
Pricing of this
Offering
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our
common stock. Consequently, the initial public offering price of
our common stock will be determined by negotiation among us and
the representatives of the underwriters. Among the primary
factors that will be considered in determining the public
offering price are:
|
|
|
|
|
prevailing market conditions;
|
|
|
|
our results of operations in recent periods;
|
|
|
|
the present stage of our development;
|
|
|
|
the market capitalizations and stages of development of other
companies that we and the representatives of the underwriters
believe to be comparable to our business; and
|
|
|
|
estimates of our business potential.
|
Each underwriter has represented and agreed that (i) it has
not offered or sold and, prior to the expiration of the period
of six months from the closing date of this offering, will not
offer or sell any shares of our common stock to persons in the
United Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities
involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of
investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their
businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted
and will not result in an offer to the public in the United
Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities
Regulations 1995; (ii) it has complied with and will comply
with all applicable provisions of the Financial Services Act
1986 with respect to anything done by it in relation to the
shares of our common stock in, from or otherwise involving the
United Kingdom; and (iii) it has only issued or passed on
and will only
117
issue or pass on in the United Kingdom, any document received by
it in connection with the issue of the shares of our common
stock to a person who is of a kind described in
Article 11(3) of the Financial Services Act 1986

in that relevant member state prior to the publication of a
prospectus in relation to the common stock that has been
approved by the competent authority in that relevant member
state or, where appropriate, approved in another relevant member
state and notified to the competent authority in that relevant
member state, all in accordance with the Prospectus Directive,
except that, with effect from and including the relevant
implementation date, an offer of securities may be offered to
the public in that relevant member state at any time:

|
|
|
|
to any legal entity that has two or more of (1) an average

|
|
|
|
in any other circumstances that do not require the publication
of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus
Directive.
|
Each purchaser of common stock described in this prospectus
located within a relevant member state will be deemed to have
represented, acknowledged and agreed that it is a
qualified investor within the meaning of
Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive.
For purposes of this provision, the expression an offer to
the public in any relevant member state means the
communication in any form and by any means of sufficient
information on the terms of the offer and the securities to be
offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or
subscribe the securities, as the expression may be varied in
that member state by any measure implementing the Prospectus
Directive in that member state, and the expression
Prospectus Directive means Directive 2003/71/EC and
includes any relevant implementing measure in each relevant
member state.
The sellers of the common stock have not authorized and do not
authorize the making of any offer of common stock through any
financial intermediary on their behalf, other than offers made
by the underwriters with a view to the final placement of the
common stock as contemplated in this prospectus. Accordingly, no
purchaser of the common stock, other than the underwriters, is
authorized to make any further offer of the common stock on
behalf of the sellers or the underwriters.

(1) Organization
Business and
Basis of Presentation
RSC Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company or RSC Holdings)
are wholly owned by Atlas Copco AB (ACAB) and Atlas Copco
Airpower n.v. (ACA), a wholly owned subsidiary of ACAB
(collectively, the Group). At September 30, 2006, ACAB and
ACA owned 40.2% and 59.8% of the outstanding common shares of
RSC Holdings, respectively.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements represent a
carve-out of the activities of RSC Holdings as they relate to
its wholly owned subsidiary Rental Service Corporation (RSC).
The unaudited financial statements exclude RSCs Prime
Energy division, which will be retained by the Group. The
historical financial statements of RSC Holdings included
investments in other consolidated or nonconsolidated operations
which are not included in these unaudited consolidated financial
statements and will be retained by the Group. The Company has
also estimated and reflected in these unaudited consolidated
financial statements general and administrative costs incurred
by RSC Holdings to both support operations such as tax, legal,
and treasury, had the Company been a stand-alone entity, as well
as certain undistributed costs which RSC Holdings historically
retained. The unaudited consolidated financial statements
reflect indebtedness with an affiliate in which interest charged
may not be reflective of rates and terms and conditions offered
by a third party lender. Certain current and former employees
are covered under a defined benefit plan sponsored by the Group.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein
do not include any allocated cost, funding obligations or plan
assets as such plan will be retained by the Group. Management
believes the assumptions underlying the unaudited consolidated
financial statements are reasonable. However, the unaudited
consolidated financial statements included herein may not
necessarily reflect the Companys results of operations,
financial position and cash flows in the future or what its
results of operations, financial position and cash flows would
have been had the Company been a stand-alone company during the
periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
Companys financial position as of September 30, 2006
and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
have been prepared in accordance with the appropriate interim
financial statement requirements and consequently do not include
all of the disclosures normally required by U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial
statements. The results of operations for such interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the December 31, 2005 audited
consolidated financial statements, including the related notes
thereto.
The Company is engaged primarily in the rental of a diversified
line of construction, industrial and manufacturing equipment,
geographically dispersed throughout the United States and
Canada. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its
subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. The nature of the
Companys business is such that short-term obligations are
typically met by cash flows generated from long-term assets.

STATEMENTS(Continued)

(Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
Therefore, the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet
is presented on an unclassified basis.
(2) Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Use
of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial
statements requires management of the Company to make a number
of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
period. Significant items subject to such estimates and
assumptions include the carrying amounts of fleet, property and
equipment, and inventories; the allowance for doubtful accounts;
intangible assets; deferred income taxes; environmental
liabilities; and assets and obligations related to employee
benefits. Management believes that its estimates and assumptions
are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may
differ from these estimates.
(b) Foreign
Currency Translation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the
Companys foreign subsidiary are translated into
U.S. dollars in accordance with the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign Currency
Translation. Assets and liabilities of the
foreign subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at
year-end exchange rates. Revenue and expense items are
translated at the average rates prevailing during the period.
Resulting translation adjustments are included as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income. Income and losses that
result from foreign currency transactions are included in
earnings. The Company recognized foreign currency transaction
gains of $311 and $113 for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
(c) Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which
the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction
between willing parties. The fair values of cash, accounts
receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying values due
to the short maturity of these financial instruments. The
Company considers the determination of the fair value of
affiliated debt to be impracticable as the counterparty is a
related party, there is no stated maturity date, and no similar
financial instruments are available to provide a comparable
analysis.
(d) Accounts
Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful
accounts of $6,782 at September 30, 2006. Management
develops its estimate of this allowance based on the
Companys historical experience with specific customers,
its understanding of the Companys current economic
circumstances, and its own judgment as to the likelihood of
ultimate payment. Management also considers the Companys
collection experience with the balance of

STATEMENTS(Continued)

(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
its receivables portfolio and makes estimates regarding
collectibility based on trends of aging. Bad debt expense is
reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative
expenses in the consolidated statements of income and represents
accounts receivable that are deemed uncollectible by the
Companys management, net of amounts recovered during the
period that were previously deemed uncollectible and changes in
managements estimates related to the collectibility of
accounts receivable.
(e) Inventory
Inventory consists of equipment, merchandise, parts and other.
Equipment is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost
determined by specific-identification. Merchandise, parts and
other are accounted for using the weighted average cost method,
and are also stated at the lower of cost or market.
(f) Rental
Fleet
Rental equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the equipment using the straight-line
method. The range of estimated lives for rental equipment is one
to ten years. Rental equipment is depreciated to a salvage value
of zero to ten percent of cost. Ordinary repair and maintenance
costs are charged to operations as incurred. When rental fleet
equipment is disposed of, the related cost and accumulated
depreciation are removed from their respective accounts, and any
gains or losses are included in results of operations.
The Company has factory-authorized arrangements for the
refurbishment of equipment. The Company continues to record
depreciation expense while the equipment is out on
refurbishment. The cost of refurbishment is added to the
existing net book value of the asset. The combined cost is
depreciated over 48 months. The total net book value of the
equipment and the total refurbishment cost following completion
of the refurbishment may not exceed the equipments current
fair value, as determined by the Companys experience in
the secondary market for sales of used equipment.
(g) Property
and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is
recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to thirty
years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the
lease or life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Maintenance
and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Expenditures that increase productivity or extend the life of an
asset are capitalized. Upon disposal, the related cost and
accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective
accounts, and any gains or losses are included in results of
operations.
(h) Impairment
of Long Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets, such as
rental fleet, property and equipment, and purchased intangible
assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS(Continued)
September 30, 2006 and 2005
(Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash
flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which
the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the
asset. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the
balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount
or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.
The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as
held for sale are presented separately in the appropriate asset
and liability sections of the balance sheet.
Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives
are tested annually for impairment in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, and are tested for impairment more
frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset
might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the
extent that the carrying amount exceeds the assets fair
value. For goodwill, the impairment determination is made at the
reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, the
Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit and
compares it to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying
amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment
loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the
reporting units goodwill over the implied fair value of
that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined
by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner
similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. The
residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair
value of the reporting unit goodwill.
(i) Revenue
Recognition
The Company rents equipment primarily to the nonresidential
construction, industrial and residential markets. The Company
records unbilled revenue for revenues earned each reporting
period which have not yet been billed to the customer. Rental
contract terms may be daily, weekly, or monthly and may extend
across financial reporting periods. Rental revenue is recognized
over the applicable rental period.
The Company recognizes revenue on merchandise sales when
products are shipped, title passes to the customer, the customer
takes ownership, assumes risk of loss, and collectibility is
reasonably assured. There are no rights of return or warranties
offered on product sales.
The Company recognizes both net and gross re-rent revenue. The
Company has entered into alliance agreements with certain
suppliers whereby the Company will rent equipment from the
supplier and subsequently re-rent such equipment to a customer.
Under the alliance agreements, the collection risk from the end
user is passed to the original supplier and revenue is presented
on a net basis under the provisions of Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF)
No. 99-19,
Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an
Agent. When no alliance agreement exists, re-rent revenue is
presented on a gross basis.
(j) Reserves
for Claims
The Company is exposed to various claims relating to the
business. These may include claims relating to (i) personal
injury or death caused by equipment rented or sold,
(ii) motor vehicle accidents involving sales, delivery and
service personnel and (iii) employment related

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS(Continued)

(Unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
claims. The Company establishes reserves for reported claims
that are asserted and for claims that are believed to have been
incurred but not yet reported. These reserves reflect an
estimate of the amounts that the Company will be required to pay
in connection with these claims. The reserves are based upon
assumptions relating to the probability of losses, the nature
and severity of individual claims, and an estimate of future
claims development based upon historical claims development
trends. These estimates may change based on, among other events,
changes in claims history or receipt of additional information
relevant to assessing the claims. Furthermore, these estimates
may prove to be inaccurate due to factors such as adverse
judicial determinations or settlements at higher than estimated
amounts. Accordingly, the Company may be required to increase or
decrease the reserves.
(k) Income
Taxes
The Companys income taxes as presented herein are
calculated on a separate tax return basis, although
historically, the Company was included in the consolidated tax
return of Atlas Copco North America Inc. Atlas Copco North
America Inc. managed its tax position for the benefit of its
entire portfolio of businesses, and its tax strategies were not
necessarily reflective of the tax strategies that the Company
would have followed or does follow as a stand-alone company.
Income taxes are accounted for under SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109
deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences of
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the respective tax bases of assets and liabilities and operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is
provided for deferred tax assets when realization of such assets
is not considered to be more likely than not. Adjustments to the
deferred income tax valuation allowance are made periodically
based on managements assessment of the recoverability of
the related assets.
Provisions for deferred income taxes are recorded to the extent
of withholding taxes and incremental taxes, if any, that arise
from repatriation of dividends from those foreign subsidiaries
where local earnings are not permanently reinvested. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
the tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.
(l) Marketing
and Advertising costs
The Company advertises primarily through trade publications and
yellow pages. These costs are charged in the period incurred.
Marketing and advertising costs are included in selling, general
and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income. Marketing and advertising expense for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, net
of cooperative advertising ($1,099 and $233) was $6,943 and
$7,302, respectively.

(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
(m) Consideration
Received from Vendors
The Company receives money from suppliers for various programs,
primarily volume incentives and advertising. Allowances for
advertising to promote a vendors products or services
which meet the criteria in EITF
No. 02-16,
Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain
Consideration Received from a Vendor are offset against
advertising costs in the period in which the Company recognizes
the incremental advertising cost. In situations when vendor
consideration does not meet the criteria in EITF
No. 02-16
to be offset against advertising costs, the Company considers
the consideration to be a reduction in the purchase price of
fleet acquired.
Volume incentives are recorded as a reduction in the purchase
price of fleet acquired and amortized as an offset to
depreciation expense over 36 months, which approximates the
average period of ownership of the fleet purchased from vendors
who provide the Company with rebates and other incentives.
(n) Share
Appreciation Rights Plan
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic
value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations
including FASB Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for
Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an
interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, to account for
share appreciation rights issued by ACAB to selected key Company
employees. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted
the modified prospective method of SFAS 123 (revised 2004),
Share Based Payment. Under that method, the Company
recognizes compensation costs for new grants of share-based
awards, awards modified after the effective date, and the
remaining portion of the fair value of the unvested awards at
the adoption date. As of January 1, 2006, the share
appreciation rights were substantially vested. As a result, the
adoption of SFAS 123 did not have a material effect on the
Companys financial position or results of operations. As
the share appreciation rights are cash settled, they continue to
be marked to market and classified as a liability under
SFAS 123 (see note 16).
(o) Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of
cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash with
high quality financial institutions. Concentration of credit
risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited because the
Companys customer base is large and geographically
diverse. The Company controls credit risk through credit
approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures.
(p) New
Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement
of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.
SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to
prior periods financial statements for changes in
accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine
either the period-specific effects or the
F-10

(formerly known as Atlas Copco North America Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS(Continued)
September 30, 2006 and 2005

(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
cumulative effect of the change. SFAS No. 154 also
requires that retrospective application of a change in
accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the
change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle
should be recognized in the period of the accounting change.
SFAS No. 154 further requires a change in
depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived,
nonfinancial assets to be accounted for as a change in
accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting
principle. Unless adopted early, SFAS No. 154 is
effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made
in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 154. The adoption did not have an impact on
the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In June 2005, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue
No. 05-6,
Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold
Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a
Business Combination. EITF
No. 05-6
requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business
combination be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of
the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and
renewals deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of
acquisition. EITF
No. 05-6
further requires that leasehold improvements that are placed
into service significantly after, and not contemplated at or
near the beginning of the lease term, shall be amortized over
the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that
includes the required lease periods and renewals deemed to be
reasonably assured at the date of acquisition. EITF
No. 05-6
is effective prospectively for leasehold improvements purchased
or acquired in periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The
Companys implementation of the guidance in EITF No.
05-6 did not
have an effect on its financial condition or results of
operations in 2005 or for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2006 and is not expected to have a material
effect on the Companys financial condition or results of
operations going forward.
In October 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
FAS 13-1,
Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction
Period (FSP
FAS 13-1).
FSP
FAS 13-1
requires rental costs associated with building or ground leases
incurred during a construction period to be recognized as rental
expense and is effective for the first reporting period
beginning after December 15, 2005. In addition, FSP
FAS 13-1
requires lessees to cease capitalizing rental costs as of
December 15, 2005 for operating lease agreements entered
into prior to December 15, 2005. Early adoption is
permitted. The Company does not capitalize rental costs from its
operating lease agreements. The Company adopted FSP
FAS 13-1
on January 1, 2006. The adoption did not have an impact on
the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48).
FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of
a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return,
and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is
assessing FIN 48 and has not determined the impact that the
adoption of FIN 48 will have on its results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements. This standard defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting
principles generally accepted in the United

States of America, and expands disclosure about fair value
measurements. This pronouncement applies to other accounting
standards that require or permit fair value measurements.
Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value
measurement. This statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company will be required to adopt
SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.
Management is currently evaluating the requirements of
SFAS No. 157 and has not yet determined the impact on
the Companys financial statements.

The Companys indebtedness to affiliate represents an
estimate of remaining indebtedness associated with RSC
Holdings acquisition of the operations included in these
financial statements, RSCs operational borrowings, and
adjustments related to operations which will be retained by the
Group. These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect
interest cost computed under historical borrowing arrangements
between the Company and the affiliate. Accrued interest was
added to the outstanding debt balance. The average interest rate
for the outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2006 was
7.83%. The indebtedness to affiliate has no stated maturity date
and no associated covenants.

expiring at various dates through 2013 at variable interest
rates ranging from 2.60% to 7.25% (see note 11).

declared by the Board and prior to the payment of any dividends
to holders of other classes of RSC capital stock. For dividend
payment dates occurring on or before September 3, 2008, the
per-share dividend is calculated as the product of (a) a
4.57% annual interest rate and (b) the issue price of such
shares. For dividend payment dates occurring after
September 3, 2008, the per-share dividend is calculated as
the product of (a) the six-month LIBOR plus 1.25% and
(b) the issue price of such shares. Dividends may be
declared and paid on a biannual basis; however, dividends are
cumulative and accrue whether or not declared. Interest on
unpaid dividends accrues at a fixed rate of 5.57% annual rate.
In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of RSC,
but not a sale of RSC, the preferred stock has liquidation
preferences equal to the issue price and all accrued and unpaid
dividends. Holders of the Series A preferred stock are
entitled to one vote for each share on all questions presented
to holders of RSCs voting capital stock. There are no
mandatory or optional conversion features into any other class
of capital stock or debt obligation at the RSC or RSC Holdings
level. Holders of the Series A preferred stock have no
right to cause mandatory or optional redemption. RSC Holdings
has guaranteed the payment of dividends in the event RSC is
financially unable to do so.

The Companys operating results have been previously
included in RSC Holdings consolidated U.S. federal
and state income tax returns. The provision for income taxes in
these financial statements have been determined on a separate
return basis. The Company was required to assess its deferred
tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance on a separate
return basis, and exclude from the assessment the utilization of
all or a portion of those losses by the Company under the
separate return method. This assessment required judgment on the

The Companys investment in its foreign subsidiary is
permanently invested abroad and will not be repatriated to the
U.S. in the foreseeable future. In accordance with APB
Opinion No. 23, Accounting for Income TaxesSpecial
Areas, because those earnings are considered to be
indefinitely reinvested, no U.S. federal or state deferred
income taxes have been provided thereon. Total undistributed
earnings at September 30, 2006 were $32,015. Upon
distribution of those earnings, in the form of dividends or
otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income
taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and
withholding taxes payable to the foreign country.
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to
significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax
liabilities at September 30, 2006 are presented below:

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets,
management considers whether it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable

(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
income during the periods in which those temporary differences
become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal
of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income,
and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based
upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for
future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax
assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely
than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these
deductible differences. The amount of the deferred tax asset
considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near
term if estimates of future taxable income during the
carryforward period are reduced.
(10) Commitments,
Contingencies, and Guarantees
At September 30, 2006, the Company had total available
irrevocable letters of credit facilities of $180,886 of which
$148,569 were outstanding. Such irrevocable commercial and
standby letters of credit facilities support various agreements,
leases, and insurance policies. The total outstanding letters of
credit include amounts with various suppliers that guarantee
payment of rental equipment purchases upon reaching the
specified payment date (normally 180 day terms).
Due to the large number of locations in which the Company does
business, the Company normally has seven to ten sales tax or
property tax audits in process at the end of each year. Based
upon historical experience and any known issues, the Company
records and carries an accrual for estimated additional taxes
and associated penalties that may result from such audits.
(11) Leases
Included in property and equipment in the unaudited consolidated
balance sheet are the following assets held under capital leases:

September 30, 2006.
The Company also rents equipment, facilities and certain office
equipment under operating leases. Certain real estate leases
require the Company to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and
certain other expenses in addition to the stated rentals. Lease
expense charged to operations under operating leases amounted to
$26,976 and $25,890 for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, net of sublease
income ($318 and $651).

In 2002 and 2001, the Company completed a number of real estate
sale-leaseback transactions with unrelated third parties which
resulted in deferred gains. For these transactions, the Company
leased back the real estate over a period of five to fifteen
years. The resulting leases have been accounted for as operating
leases. The deferred gains are being amortized over the
respective lease periods on a straight-line basis. Deferred
gains recognized into income for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005 were $354 in each period.
The Company has a variety of real estate leases that contain
rent escalation clauses. The Company records the related rental
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and records
the difference between the amount charged to expense and the
rent paid as a deferred rent liability. The balance of the
deferred rent liability amounted to $979 at September 30,
2006.
(12) Legal
and Insurance Matters
The Company is party to legal proceedings and potential claims
arising in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion
of management, the Company has adequate legal defenses,
reserves, and insurance coverage with respect to these matters
so that the ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse
effect on the Companys financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows. The Company records claims related to
recoveries from third parties when such recoveries are certain
of being collected.
The Company has been named as a defendant in a number of product
liability cases and silicosis claims. No reserve has been
established in response to these cases as the outcomes are
neither probable nor estimable. There are 81 silicosis cases
open at September 30, 2006.
(13) Environmental
Matters
The Company is subject to various laws and related regulations
governing environmental matters. Under such laws, an owner or
lessee of real estate may be liable for the costs of

removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances
located on or in, or emanating from, such property, as well as
investigation of property damage. The Company incurs ongoing
expenses and records applicable accruals associated with the
removal of underground storage tanks and the performance of
appropriate remediation at certain of its locations. The Company
believes that such removal and remediation will not have a
material adverse effect on the Companys financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows.
(14) Affiliated
Company Transactions
The Company sells merchandise and purchases goods to/from
affiliates. Sales to affiliated companies of $75 and $64 during
the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively, are included in revenues in the accompanying
consolidated statements of income.
Inventory purchases from affiliated companies were $40,443 and
$39,993 during the nine-month periods ended September 30,
2006 and 2005, respectively.
Affiliated payables were $31,457 at September 30, 2006.
(15) Employee
Benefit Plans
The Company currently sponsors a defined contribution 401(k)
plan that is subject to the provisions of ERISA. The Company
also sponsors a defined contribution pension plan for the
benefit of full-time employees of its Canadian subsidiary. Under
these plans, the Company matches a percentage of the
participants contributions up to a specified amount.
Company contributions to the plans were $3,458 and $2,939 for
the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.
The Company sponsors a deferred compensation plan whereby
amounts earned and contributed by an employee are invested and
held in a Company created rabbi trust. Rabbi trusts
are employee directed and administered by a third party. As the
assets of the trust are available to satisfy the claims of
general creditors in the event of Company bankruptcy, under EITF
No. 97-14,
Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where
Amounts Earned Are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested, the
amounts held in the trust are accounted for as an investment and
a corresponding liability in the accompanying unaudited
consolidated balance sheet and amounted to $2,566 at
September 30, 2006.
The Company has no defined benefit pension plans for its
employees or management.
(16) Employee
Share Appreciation Rights
The Company has a liability for key employee share appreciation
rights (SARS). Rights do not entitle the holder to acquire
shares, but only to receive cash for the difference between the
price of ACABs A-share at exercise and the price
determined at the grant date. SARS were offered each year from
2000 to 2003. No SARS have been granted since 2003. SARS were
formally granted and issued by ACAB, have a term of 6 years
from the grant date and vest at rates of one-third per year at
each anniversary of the grant date. Unvested rights expire at
termination of employment, while vested rights are exercisable
within one month (grant year 2000 and 2001) or three months
(grant year 2002 and 2003) after termination of employment
(12 months in case of retirement). SARS have been granted
free of charge as part of certain

Report of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors
RSC Holdings Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
RSC Holdings Inc. (formerly known as Atlas Copco North America
Inc.) and subsidiaries (the Company), a wholly owned subsidiary
of Atlas Copco AB, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and
the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders equity and comprehensive income, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration
of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of RSC Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(1) Organization
|
|
(a)
|
Business and
Basis of Presentation
|
RSC Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company or RSC Holdings)
are wholly owned by Atlas Copco AB (ACAB) and Atlas Copco
Airpower n.v. (ACA), a wholly owned subsidiary of ACAB
(collectively, the Group). At December 31, 2005, 2004, and
2003, ACAB and ACA owned 40.2% and 59.8% of the outstanding
common shares of RSC Holdings, respectively.
These consolidated financial statements represent a carve-out of
the activities of RSC Holdings as they relate to its wholly
owned subsidiary Rental Service Corporation (RSC). The
consolidated financial statements exclude RSCs Prime
Energy division, which will be retained by the Group. The
historical financial statements of RSC Holdings included
investments in other consolidated or nonconsolidated operations
which are not included in these consolidated financial
statements and will be retained by the Group. The Company has
also estimated and reflected in these consolidated financial
statements general and administrative costs incurred by RSC
Holdings to both support operations such as tax, legal, and
treasury, had the Company been a stand alone entity, as well as
certain undistributed costs which RSC Holdings historically
retained. The financial statements reflect indebtedness with an
affiliate in which interest charged may not be reflective of
rates and terms and conditions offered by a third party lender.
Certain current and former employees are covered under a defined
benefit plan sponsored by the Group. The consolidated financial
statements included herein do not include any allocated cost,
funding obligations or plan assets as such plan will be retained
by the Group. Management believes the assumptions underlying the
consolidated financial statements are reasonable. However, the
consolidated financial statements included herein may not
necessarily reflect the Companys results of operations,
financial position and cash flows in the future or what its
results of operations, financial position and cash flows would
have been had the Company been a stand-alone company during the
periods presented.
The Company is engaged primarily in the rental of a diversified
line of construction, industrial and manufacturing equipment,
geographically disbursed throughout the United States and
Canada. The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The nature of the Companys business is such
that short-term obligations are typically met by cash flows
generated from long-term assets. Therefore, the accompanying
balance sheets are presented on an unclassified basis.
(2) Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements
requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates
and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions
include the carrying amounts of fleet, property and equipment,
and inventories; the allowance for doubtful accounts; intangible
assets; deferred income taxes; environmental liabilities; and
assets and obligations related to employee benefits. Management
believes that its estimates and

assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual
results may differ from these estimates.
|
|
(b)
|
Foreign
Currency Translation
|
The financial statements of the Companys foreign
subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance
with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign
Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities of the foreign
subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end
exchange rates. Revenue and expense items are translated at the
average rates prevailing during the period. Resulting
translation adjustments are included in stockholders
equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Income and losses that result from foreign currency transactions
are included in earnings. The Company recognized $100, $58, and
$119 of foreign currency transaction gains for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.
|
|
(c)
|
Fair Value of
Financial Instruments
|
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which
the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction
between willing parties. The fair values of cash, accounts
receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying values due
to the short maturity of these financial instruments. The
Company considers the determination of the fair value of
affiliated debt to be impracticable as the counterparty is a
related party, there is no stated maturity date, and no similar
financial instruments are available to provide a comparable
analysis.
Accounts receivable are stated net of allowances for doubtful
accounts of $7,474 and $9,166 at December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively. Management develops its estimate of this
allowance based on the Companys historical experience with
specific customers, its understanding of the Companys
current economic circumstances, and its own judgment as to the
likelihood of ultimate payment. Management also considers the
Companys collection experience with the balance of its
receivables portfolio and makes estimates regarding
collectibility based on trends of aging. Bad debt expense is
reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative
expenses in the consolidated statements of income and represents
accounts receivable that are deemed uncollectible by the
Companys management, net of amounts recovered during the
period that were previously deemed uncollectible and changes in
managements estimates related to the collectibility of
accounts receivable.
Inventory consists of equipment, merchandise, parts and other.
Equipment is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost
determined by specific-identification. Merchandise, parts and
other are accounted for using the weighted average cost method,
and are also stated at the lower of cost or market.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003
(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
Rental equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the
estimated useful lives of the equipment using the straight-line
method. The range of estimated lives for rental equipment is one
to ten years. Rental equipment is depreciated to a salvage value
of zero to ten percent of cost. Ordinary repair and maintenance
costs are charged to operations as incurred. When rental fleet
is disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation
are removed from their respective accounts, and any gains or
losses are included in results of operations.
The Company has factory-authorized arrangements for the
refurbishment of equipment. The Company continues to record
depreciation expense while the equipment is out on
refurbishment. The cost of refurbishment is added to the
existing net book value of the asset. The combined cost is
depreciated over 48 months. The total net book value of the
equipment and the total refurbishment cost following completion
of the refurbishment may not exceed the equipments current
fair value.
|
|
(g)
|
Property and
Equipment
|
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is
recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to thirty
years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the
lease or life of the asset, whichever is shorter. Maintenance
and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred.
Expenditures that increase productivity or extend the life of an
asset are capitalized. Upon disposal, the related cost and
accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective
accounts, and any gains or losses are included in results of
operations.

Impairment of
Long Lived Assets
|
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, long lived assets, such as
property, and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject
to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be
held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount
of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is
recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the
asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed
of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and
reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less
costs to sell, and would no longer be depreciated. The assets
and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale
would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and
liability sections of the balance sheet.
Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives
are tested annually for impairment in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, and are tested for impairment more
frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset
might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the
extent that the carrying amount exceeds the assets fair
value. For goodwill, the impairment determination is made at the
reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, the
Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit and
compares it to its carrying amount. Second, if the carrying

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment
loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the
reporting units goodwill over the implied fair value of
that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined
by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner
similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 141, Business
Combinations. The residual fair value after this
allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit
goodwill.

Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Income
|
The Company reports accumulated other comprehensive income in
the statement of stockholders equity in accordance with
SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.
Accumulated other comprehensive income consists solely of
accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments.
The Company rents equipment primarily to the nonresidential
construction, industrial and residential markets. The Company
records unbilled revenue for revenues earned each reporting
period which have not yet been billed to the customer. Rental
contract terms may be daily, weekly, or monthly and may extend
across financial reporting periods. Rental revenue is recognized
over the applicable rental period.
The Company recognizes revenue on merchandise sales when
products are shipped, title passes to the customer, the customer
takes ownership, assumes risk of loss, and collectibility is
reasonably assured. There are no rights of return or warranties
offered on product sales.
The Company recognizes both net and gross re-rent revenue. The
Company has entered into alliance agreements with certain
suppliers whereby the Company will rent equipment from the
supplier and subsequently re-rent such equipment to a customer.
Under the alliance agreements, the collection risk from the end
user is passed to the original supplier and revenue is presented
on a net basis under the provisions of Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF)
No. 99-19,
Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an
Agent. When no alliance agreement exists, rerent revenue is
presented on a gross basis.
The Company is exposed to various claims relating to the
business. These may include claims relating to (i) personal
injury or death caused by equipment rented or sold,
(ii) motor vehicle accidents involving sales, delivery and
service personnel and (iii) employment related claims. The
Company establishes reserves for reported claims that are
asserted and for claims that are believed to have been incurred
but not yet reported. These reserves reflect an estimate of the
amounts that the Company will be required to pay in connection
with these claims. The estimate of reserves is based upon
assumptions relating to the probability of losses and historical
settlement experience. These estimates may change based on,
among other events, changes in claims history or receipt of
additional information relevant to assessing the claims.
Furthermore, these estimates may prove to be inaccurate due to
factors such as adverse judicial determinations or settlements
at higher than estimated amounts. Accordingly, the Company may
be required to increase or decrease the reserves.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003
(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
The Companys income taxes as presented herein are
calculated on a separate tax return basis, although
historically, the Company was included in the consolidated tax
return of RSC Holdings. RSC Holdings managed its tax position
for the benefit of its entire portfolio of businesses, and its
tax strategies were not necessarily reflective of the tax
strategies that the Company would have followed or does follow
as a stand-alone Company.
Income taxes are accounted for under SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109
deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences of
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the respective tax bases of assets and liabilities and operating
loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is
provided for deferred tax assets when realization of such assets
is not considered to be more likely than not. Adjustments to the
deferred income tax valuation allowance are made periodically
based on managements assessment of the recoverability of
the related assets.
Provisions for deferred income taxes are recorded to the extent
of withholding taxes and incremental taxes, if any, that arise
from repatriation of dividends from those foreign subsidiaries
where local earnings are not permanently reinvested. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
the tax rates is recognized in income in the period that
includes the enactment date.

Marketing and
Advertising costs
|
The Company advertises primarily through trade publications and
yellow pages. These costs are charged in the period incurred.
Marketing and advertising costs are included in selling, general
and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income. Marketing and advertising expense, net of
cooperative advertising ($457, $0, and $0 in 2005, 2004, and
2003), was $10,239, $5,991, and $7,736 for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

Consideration
Received from Vendors
|
The Company receives money from suppliers for various programs,
primarily volume incentives and advertising. Allowances for
advertising to promote a vendors products or services
which meet the criteria in EITF
No. 02-16,
Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain
Consideration Received from a Vendor are offset against
advertising costs in the period in which the Company recognizes
the incremental advertising cost. In situations when vendor
consideration does not meet the criteria in EITF
No. 02-16
to be offset against advertising costs, the Company considers
the consideration to be a reduction in the purchase price of
fleet acquired.
Volume incentives are deferred and amortized as an offset to
depreciation expense over 36 months, which approximates the
average period of ownership of the fleet purchased from vendors
who provide the Company with rebates and other incentives.

Share
Appreciation Rights Plan
|
The Company applies the intrinsic value based method of
accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related interpretations including FASB
Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain
Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of
APB Opinion No. 25, to account for share appreciation
rights issued by ACAB to selected key Company employees.

Concentration
of Credit Risk
|
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
significant concentration of credit risk consist principally of
cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash with
high quality financial institutions. Concentration of credit
risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited because the
Companys customer base is large and geographically
diverse. The Company controls credit risk through credit
approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures.

New Accounting
Pronouncements
|
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123
(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which addresses the
accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its
equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus
on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in
share-based payment transactions. This Statement is a revision
to Statement 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related
implementation guidance. This Statement will require measurement
of the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock
compensation based on the grant-date fair value of the employee
stock options. Incremental compensation costs arising from
subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be
recognized. The Company will adopt this Statement on
January 1, 2006 under the modified prospective method of
application. Under that method, the Company will recognize
compensation costs for new grants of share-based awards, awards
modified after the effect date, and the remaining portion of the
fair value of the unvested awards at the adoption date. The
Company does not anticipate that the adoption of
Statement 123R will have a material effect on its financial
position or results of operations.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement
of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.
SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to
prior periods financial statements for changes in
accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine
either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of
the change. SFAS No. 154 also requires that
retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be
limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of
a change in accounting principle should be recognized in the
period of the accounting change. SFAS No. 154 further
requires a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion
method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets to be accounted for
as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in
accounting principle. Unless adopted early,
SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption
of SFAS No. 154 to have an impact on its financial
position or results of operations.

December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003
(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
FASB Interpretation No. 47 (FIN 47), Accounting for
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, was issued by the
FASB in March 2005. FIN 47 provides guidance relating to
the identification of and financial reporting for legal
obligations to perform an asset retirement activity. The
Interpretation requires recognition of a liability for the fair
value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred
if the liabilitys fair value can be reasonably estimated.
FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years
ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of FIN 47
did not have an impact on the Companys financial position
or results of operations.
In June 2005, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue
No. 05-6,
Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold
Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a
Business Combination. EITF
No. 05-6
requires that leasehold improvements acquired in a business
combination be amortized over the shorter of the useful life of
the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and
renewals deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of
acquisition. EITF
No. 05-6
further requires that leasehold improvements that are placed
into service significantly after, and not contemplated at or
near the beginning of the lease term, shall be amortized over
the shorter of the useful life of the assets or a term that
includes the required lease periods and renewals deemed to be
reasonably assured at the date of acquisition. EITF
No. 05-6
is effective prospectively for leasehold improvements purchased
or acquired in periods beginning after June 29, 2005. The
Companys implementation of the guidance in EITF No.
05-6 did not
have an effect on its financial condition or results of
operations in 2005 and is not expected to have a material effect
on its financial condition or results of operations in 2006 and
beyond.
In October 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
FAS 13-1,
Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction
Period (FSP
FAS 13-1).
FSP
FAS 13-1
requires rental costs associated with building or ground leases
incurred during a construction period to be recognized as rental
expense and is effective for the first reporting period
beginning after December 15, 2005. In addition, FSP
FAS 13-1
requires lessees to cease capitalizing rental costs as of
December 15, 2005 for operating lease agreements entered
into prior to December 15, 2005. Early adoption is
permitted. The Company does not capitalize rental costs from its
operating lease agreements. The Company does not expect the
adoption of FSP
FAS 13-1
to have an impact on its financial position or results of
operations.

The Companys indebtedness to affiliate represents an
estimate of remaining indebtedness associated with RSC
Holdings acquisition of the operations included in these
financial statements, RSCs operational borrowings, and
adjustments related to operations which will be retained by the
Group. These consolidated financial statements reflect interest
cost computed under historical borrowing arrangements between
the Company and the affiliate. Except for the term loan,
interest was charged using an average annual rate of LIBOR plus
1.50% for period priors to January 1, 2005 and using an
average rate of prime plus 2.0% for the period subsequent to
January 1, 2005. Accrued interest was added to the
outstanding debt balance. The average interest rate for the
outstanding borrowings, excluding the term loan, at
December 31, 2005 and 2004 was 6.18% and 2.94%,
respectively. The indebtedness to affiliate has no stated
maturity date and no associated covenants.
The Company had a $200 million fixed rate term loan
(interest rate of 8.75%) which was repaid on August 31,
2004.
Capital lease obligations consist of vehicle leases with periods
expiring at various dates through 2013 at variable interest
rates ranging from 2.60% to 7.25%.
(8) Common
and Preferred Stock
The Company has authorized 100,000 shares of no-par common
stock. There are 88,339 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003
(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
The Company has authorized 50,000 shares of preferred
stock. There are no preferred shares issued and outstanding at
December 31, 2005 and 2004.
RSC has authorized 200 shares of Series A preferred
stock, of which 154 shares of Series A preferred stock
are issued and outstanding with an affiliate at both
December 31, 2005 and 2004. Solely as it relates to equity
issued by RSC, the Series A preferred stock ranks senior to
other classes of capital stock. Holders of the Series A
preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends, when declared
by the Board and prior to the payment of any dividends to
holders of other classes of RSC capital stock. For dividend
payment dates occurring on or before September 3, 2008, the
per-share dividend is calculated as the product of (a) a
4.57% annual interest rate and (b) the issue price of such
shares. For dividend payment dates occurring after
September 3, 2008, the per-share dividend is calculated as
the product of (a) the six-month LIBOR plus 1.25% and
(b) the issue price of such shares. Dividends may be
declared and paid on a biannual basis; however, dividends are
cumulative and accrue whether or not declared. Interest on
unpaid dividends accrues at a fixed rate of 5.57% annual rate.
In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
RSC, but not a sale of RSC, the preferred stock has liquidation
preferences equal to the issue price and all accrued and unpaid
dividends. Holders of the Series A preferred stock are
entitled to one vote for each share on all questions presented
to holders of RSCs voting capital stock. There are no
mandatory or optional conversion features into any other class
of capital stock or debt obligation at the RSC or RSC Holdings
level. Holders of the Series A preferred stock have no
right to cause mandatory or optional redemption. RSC Holdings
has guaranteed the payment of dividends in the event RSC is
financially unable to do so.

The Companys operating results have been previously
included in RSC Holdings consolidated U.S. federal
and state income tax returns. The provision for income taxes in
these financial statements have been determined on a separate
return basis. The Company was required to assess its deferred
tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance on a separate
return basis, and exclude from the assessment the utilization of
all or a portion of those losses by the Company under the
separate return method. This assessment required judgment on the
part of management with respect to benefits that could be
realized from future income, as well as other positive and
negative factors.
A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes and the
amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax
rate of 35% to income before provision for income taxes is as

The Companys investment in its foreign subsidiary is
permanently invested abroad and will not be repatriated to the
U.S. in the foreseeable future. In accordance with APB
Opinion No. 23, Accounting for Income TaxesSpecial
Areas, because those earnings are considered to be
indefinitely reinvested, no U.S. federal or state deferred
income taxes have been provided thereon. Total undistributed
earnings at December 31, 2005 and 2004 were $19,826 and
$16,028, respectively. Upon distribution of those earnings, in
the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject
to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for
foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the
foreign country.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets,
management considers whether it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during
the periods in which those temporary differences become
deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of
deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and
tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon
the level of historical taxable income and projections for
future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax
assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely
than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these
deductible differences. The amount of the deferred tax asset
considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near
term if estimates of future taxable income during the
carryforward period are reduced.
The reduction in the deferred tax valuation allowance in 2005
related to managements belief that it was more likely than
not that alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards would be
realized based on projected future taxable income.
(10) Commitments,
Contingencies, and Guarantees
At December 31, 2005, the Company had total available
irrevocable letters of credit facilities of $167,208, of which
$152,890 were outstanding. Such irrevocable commercial and
standby letters of credit facilities support various agreements,
leases, and insurance policies. The total outstanding letters of
credit include amounts with various suppliers that guarantee
payment of rental equipment purchases upon reaching the
specified payment date (normally 180 day terms).
Due to the large number of locations in which the Company does
business, the Company normally has seven to ten sales tax or
property tax audits in process at the end of each year.

Capital lease obligations consist of vehicle leases with periods
expiring at various dates through 2013 at variable interest
rates. Capital lease obligations amounted to $98,782 and $77,668
at December 31, 2005, and 2004, respectively.
The Company also rents equipment, real estate and certain office
equipment under operating leases. Certain real estate leases
require the Company to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and
certain other expenses in addition to the stated rentals. Lease
expense charged to operations under operating leases amounted to
$35,006, $34,306, and $36,162 for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, net of sublease income
($659, $1,018, and $1,052 in 2005, 2004, and 2003), respectively.

In 2002 and 2001, the Company completed a number of real estate
sale-leaseback transactions with unrelated third parties which
resulted in deferred gains. For these transactions, the Company
leased back the real estate over a period of five to fifteen
years. The resulting leases have been accounted for as operating
leases. The deferred gains are being amortized over the

INC.
(formerly known as Atlas Copco North America Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003
(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
respective lease periods on a straight-line basis. Deferred
gains recognized into income for the years ended
December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003 were $447, $447, and
$542, respectively.
The Company has a variety of real estate leases that contain
rent escalation clauses . The Company records the related rental
expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and records
the difference between the amount charged to expense and the
rent paid as a deferred rent liability. The balance of the
deferred rent liability amounted to $1,077 and $1,125 at
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
(12) Legal
and Insurance Matters
The Company is party to legal proceedings and potential claims
arising in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion
of management, the Company has adequate legal defenses,
reserves, and insurance coverage with respect to these matters
so that the ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse
effect on the Companys financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows. The Company has recorded accrued
liabilities of $27,116 and $24,646 at December 31, 2005 and
2004, respectively, to cover estimated costs arising from these
pending claims and other potential unasserted claims. The
Company records claims related to recoveries from third parties
when such recoveries are certain of being collected.
The Company has been named as a defendant in a number of product
liability cases and silicosis claims. No reserve has been
established in response to these cases as the outcomes are
neither probable nor estimable. The number of silicosis claims
originating during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004,
and 2003 were 162, 122, and 121, respectively.
(13) Environmental
Matters
The Company is subject to various laws and related regulations
governing environmental matters. Under such laws, an owner or
lessee of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or
remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances located on
or in, or emanating from, such property, as well as
investigation of property damage. The Company incurs ongoing
expenses and records applicable accruals associated with the
removal of underground storage tanks and the performance of
appropriate remediation at certain of its locations. The Company
believes that such removal and remediation will not have a
material adverse effect on the Companys financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows.
(14) Affiliated
Company Transactions
The Company sells merchandise and purchases goods to/from
affiliates. Sales to affiliated companies of $177, $151, and
$135 in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively, are included in
revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Inventory purchases from affiliated companies were $50,506,
$31,474, and $21,954 in 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.
Affiliated payables were $6,439 and $5,412 at December 31,
2005 and 2004, respectively.
(15) Employee
Benefit Plans
The Company currently sponsors a defined contribution 401(k)
plan that is subject to the provisions of ERISA. The Company
also sponsors a defined contribution pension plan for the

(formerly known as Atlas Copco North America Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

benefit of full-time employees of its Canadian subsidiary. Under
these plans, the Company matches a percentage of the
participants contributions up to a specified amount.
Company contributions to the plans were $3,938, $3,660, and
$3,276 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and
2003, respectively.
The Company sponsors a deferred compensation plan whereby
amounts earned and contributed by an employee are invested and
held in a Company created rabbi trust. Rabbi trusts
are employee directed and administered by a third party. As the
assets of the trust are available to satisfy the claims of
general creditors in the event of Company bankruptcy, under EITF
No. 97-14,
Accounting for Deferred Compensation Arrangements Where
Amounts Earned Are Held in a Rabbi Trust and Invested, the
amounts held in the trust are accounted for as an investment and
a corresponding deferred liability in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets and amounted to $2,111 and $1,750 at
December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The Company has no defined benefit pension plans for its
employees or management.
(16) Employee
Share Appreciation Rights
The Company has a liability for key employee share appreciation
rights (SARS). Rights do not entitle the holder to acquire
shares, but only to receive the difference between the price of
ACABs A-share at exercise and the price determined at the
grant date. SARS were offered each year from 2000 to 2003. No
SARS were granted in 2004 or 2005. SARS were formally granted
and issued by ACAB, have a term of 6 years from the grant
date and vest at rates of one-third per year at each anniversary
of the grant date. Unvested rights expire at termination of
employment, while vested rights are exercisable within one month
(grant year 2000 and 2001) or three months (grant year 2002
and 2003) after termination of employment (12 months
in case of retirement). SARS have been granted free of charge as
part of certain compensation packages and are not transferable.
The exercise price/grant price is equal to 110% of the average
share price during a limited period before the grant date. There
are no other performance conditions required to earn the award.
SARS are subject to variable accounting under the provisions of
APB Opinion No. 25 as interpreted by FASB Interpretation
No. 28 (FIN 28), Accounting for Stock Appreciation
Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans, an
interpretation of APB Opinions No. 15 and 25.
At December 31, 2003, there were 1,011,366 SARS
outstanding, with 379,256 issued, 29,386 exercised and 8,820
forfeited during the year. At December 31, 2004, there were
564,549 SARS outstanding, with none issued, 364,505 exercised
and 82,312 forfeited during the year. At December 31, 2005,
there were 280,971 SARS outstanding, with none issued, 242,427
exercised and 41,151 forfeited during the year.
The average exercise price for SARS for 2005, 2004, and 2003 was
$16, $13, and $12, respectively. SARS expense, net of taxes for
2005, 2004, and 2003 was $2,000, $851, and $281, respectively.
SARS compensation liability at December 31, 2005 and 2004
was $3,557 and $1,323, respectively, and is included in accrued
expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance
sheets.

Item 14.
|
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
|
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or
is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys fees)),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit
or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. Section 145 further provides that a
corporation similarly may indemnify any such person serving in
any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification
shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware
Court of Chancery or such other court in which such action or
suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite
the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court
of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
II-1
RSC Holdings By-Laws authorize the indemnification of
officers and directors of the corporation consistent with
Section 145 of the Delaware Corporation Law, as amended.
RSC Holdings expects to enter into indemnification agreements
with its directors and officers prior to completion of this
offering providing the directors and officers contractual rights
to indemnification, and expense advance and reimbursement, to
the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware Corporation Law.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions
described in Item 14 or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
