Equipment Rental & Dealer Sector Summary

This report details growth and consolidation trends within the Equipment Rental & Dealer sector in the United States.

Key Findings:

  • Market Size & Growth: The Equipment Rental sector is a $55+ billion industry, experiencing consistent organic growth that surpasses non-residential construction expenditures. This reflects a shift towards equipment rental over ownership.
  • Consolidation: Both Rental and Dealer sectors are experiencing consolidation. Rental companies are consolidating to achieve national or regional scale and benefit from economies of scale. Dealer consolidation is driven by factors like OEM preference for larger Dealers and a lack of interest from the next generation to continue ownership.
  • Valuation Trends: Publicly traded Rental companies have historically traded at higher valuations than Dealers due to factors like recurring revenue streams and service capabilities. However, the valuation gap is narrowing as Rental companies see higher capital expenditures and Dealers benefit from aftermarket revenue.
  • Financial Investor Challenges: Many financial investors struggle to value companies in this sector because they don’t fully consider:
    • Rental Sector:
      • Equipment financing allows for high fleet investment without impacting free cash flow.
      • Importance of differentiating between maintenance and growth CapEx.
      • Net maintenance CapEx should consider proceeds from used equipment sales.
      • Rental companies benefit from tax efficiencies and the ability to de-fleet during downturns.
      • Pro forma fleet normalization is necessary to reflect the full EBITDA potential of the current fleet.
    • Dealer Sector:
      • Floor plan financing minimizes free cash flow used for inventory.
      • Just-in-time inventory reduces risk compared to historical practices.
      • Aftermarket parts and services generate high margins and recurring revenue.
      • Embedded rental fleets can be profitable with high utilization.
      • Modest ongoing CapEx requirements.

Favorable Market Conditions:

  • The Infrastructure Investment Law is expected to generate construction projects for several years.
  • Other legislative acts like the Inflation Reduction Act will incentivize clean energy and plant upgrades, impacting the sector for 5-10 years.
  • Housing shortage, evolving commercial space demands, and infrastructure investment will support long-term construction growth.

Overall, the Equipment Rental & Dealer sector is poised for continued growth due to favorable market conditions and ongoing consolidation. Understanding the unique valuation considerations for each sector is crucial for both companies and investors.
