United Rentals, Inc. (URI) has filed an 8-K report on January 29, 2025, to disclose its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.
The filing primarily directs investors to a press release (Exhibit 99.1) for detailed operational and financial performance information. Additionally, the company has made available certain business, financial results, and its 2025 outlook on its website, which will be updated as needed. Investors should note that the company utilizes several non-GAAP financial measures, including free cash flow, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS.
While URI believes these measures offer valuable insights into operational performance, cash generation, and profitability, they should be considered alongside, not as replacements for, GAAP metrics like net income and EPS. The press release and accompanying materials will contain reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their GAAP equivalents.
