Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation Our consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of H&E Equipment Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries H&E Finance Corp., GNE Investments, Inc., Great Northern Equipment, Inc., H&E California Holding, Inc., H&E Equipment Services (California), LLC and H&E Equipment Services (Mid-Atlantic), Inc., collectively referred to herein as “we” or “us” or “our” or the “Company.” All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements. Business combinations are included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The nature of our business is such that short-term obligations are typically met by cash flows generated from long-term assets. Consequently, and consistent with industry practice, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are presented on an unclassified basis. Reclassifications and Comparability Prior period hauling revenues and related cost of revenues have been reclassified to conform to the current periods’ presentation. The tables below (amounts in thousands) reconcile for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, our Revenues, Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit as previously reported to the current period presentation in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

These assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes in facts and circumstances may cause us to revise these estimates. Revenue Recognition Under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Leases, Under Topic 606, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. Our contracts with customers generally do not include multiple performance obligations. Nature of goods and services The tables below summarize our revenues as presented in our consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 by revenue type and by the applicable accounting standard (amounts in thousands). Year Ended December 31, 2019 Topic 842 Topic 606 Total Revenues: Rental revenues Owned equipment rentals $ 668,087 $ 1,118 $ 669,205 Re-rent revenue 25,342 — 25,342 Ancillary and other rental revenues: Delivery and pick-up — 40,049 40,049 Other 31,758 — 31,758 Total ancillary rental revenues 31,758 40,049 71,807 Total equipment rental revenues 725,187 41,167 766,354 New equipment sales — 239,091 239,091 Used equipment sales — 139,349 139,349 Parts sales — 123,855 123,855 Services revenues — 67,941 67,941 Other — 11,775 11,775 Total revenues $ 725,187 $ 623,178 $ 1,348,365 Year Ended December 31, 2018 Topic 840 (1) Topic 606 Total Revenues: Rental revenues Owned equipment rentals $ 568,412 $ 1,334 $ 569,746 Re-rent revenue 22,447 — 22,447 Ancillary and other rental revenues: Delivery and pick-up — 34,988 34,988 Other — — — Total ancillary rental revenues — 34,988 34,988 Total equipment rental revenues 590,859 36,322 627,181 New equipment sales — 262,948 262,948 Used equipment sales — 125,125 125,125 Parts sales — 120,454 120,454 Services revenues — 63,488 63,488 Other 21,693 18,072 39,765 Total revenues $ 612,552 $ 626,409 $ 1,238,961 Year Ended December 31, 2017 Topic 840 (1) Topic 606 Total Revenues: Rental revenues Owned equipment rentals $ 459,571 $ 2,038 $ 461,609 Re-rent revenue 17,407 — 17,407 Ancillary and other rental revenues: Delivery and pick-up — 29,105 29,105 Other — — — Total ancillary rental revenues — 29,105 29,105 Total equipment rental revenues 476,978 31,143 508,121 New equipment sales — 203,301 203,301 Used equipment sales — 107,329 107,329 Parts sales — 114,253 114,253 Services revenues — 62,873 62,873 Other 17,791 16,351 34,142 Total revenues $ 494,769 $ 535,250 $ 1,030,019 (1) Prior to our adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, l eases were accounted for under Topic 840. See additional information below in Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. Revenues by reporting segment are presented in note 18 of our condensed consolidated financial statements, using the revenue captions reflected in our consolidated statements of income. We believe that the disaggregation of our revenues from contracts to customers as reflected above, coupled with further discussion below and the reporting segment in note 18, depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Lease revenues Topic 842 Owned Equipment Rentals: Owned equipment rentals represent revenues from renting equipment. We account for these rental contracts as operating leases. We recognize revenue from equipment rentals in the period earned, regardless of the timing of billing to customers. A rental contract includes rates for daily, weekly or monthly use, and rental revenues are earned on a daily basis as rental contracts remain outstanding. Because the rental contracts can extend across multiple reporting periods, we record unbilled rental revenues and deferred rental revenues at the end of reporting periods so rental revenues earned is appropriately stated for the periods presented. Re-rent revenue: Re-rent revenue reflects revenues from equipment that we rent from vendors and then rent to our customers. We account for such rentals as subleases. The accounting for re-rent revenue is the same as the accounting for owned equipment rentals described above. Other equipment rental revenue : Other equipment rental revenue is primarily comprised of (i) revenue from customers who purchase insurance to protect against potential damages or loss the equipment they rent, (ii) environmental charges associated with the rental of equipment, and (iii) fuel recovery fees charged to customers. Fuel consumption charges are recognized upon return of the rental equipment when fuel consumption by the customer, if any, can be measured. Income from environmental fees and damage waiver insurance policies are recognized when earned over the period the equipment is rented. Topic 840 Rental Revenues: Owned equipment rentals represent revenues from renting equipment. We account for these rental contracts as operating leases. We recognize revenue from equipment rentals in the period earned, regardless of the timing of billing to customers. A rental contract includes rates for daily, weekly or monthly use, and rental revenues are earned on a daily basis as rental contracts remain outstanding. Because the rental contracts can extend across multiple reporting periods, we record unbilled rental revenues and deferred rental revenues at the end of reporting periods so rental revenues earned is appropriately stated for the periods presented. Other: Other rental revenues primarily represent services performed by us in connection with the rental of equipment to a customer, such as fuel consumption charges, environmental fees and damage waiver insurance. Fuel consumption charges are recognized upon return of the rental equipment when fuel consumption by the customer, if any, can be measured. Income from environmental fees and damage waiver insurance policies are recognized when earned over the period the equipment is rented . Revenues from contracts with customers (Topic 606) The accounting for the types of revenues accounted for pursuant to Topic 606 are discussed below. Substantially all of our revenues under Topic 606 are recognized at a point-in-time rather than over time. Rental revenues: An insignificant portion of our total equipment rental revenues are recognized pursuant to Topic 606 rather than pursuant to Topic 842. These revenues represent services performed by us in connection with the rental of equipment and are comprised of customer training fees on rented equipment and erection and dismantling services on rental equipment. Revenues for these services are recognized upon completion of such services. See discussion above regarding rental revenues recognized pursuant to Topic 842. Delivery and pick-up : Delivery and pick-up revenue associated with renting equipment is recognized when the service is performed. New equipment sales: Revenues from the sales of new equipment are recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the promised good. Used equipment sales: Revenues from the sales of used equipment are recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the promised good. Parts sales: Revenues from the sales of equipment parts are recognized at the time of pick-up by the customer for parts counter sales transactions. For parts that are shipped to a customer, we made an accounting policy election permitted by Topic 606 to treat such shipping activities as fulfillment costs, which results in the fees for shipping activities being included in the parts sales transaction price. Services revenues: We derive our services primarily from maintenance and repair services to customers for their owned equipment. We recognize services revenues at the time such services are completed, which is when the customer obtains control of the promised service. Other revenues : Other revenues relate primarily to ancillary charges associated with equipment maintenance and repair services. Such revenues are recognized at the time the services are performed. Receivables and contract assets and liabilities We manage credit risk associated with our accounts receivables at the customer level. Because the same customers typically generate the revenues that are accounted for under both Topic 606 and Topic 842, the discussions below on credit risk and our allowances for doubtful accounts address our total revenues from Topic 606 and Topic 842. We believe concentration of credit risk with respect to our receivables is limited because our customer base is comprised of a large number of geographically diverse customers. Our largest customer accounted for less than two percent of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues on an overall or segment basis for any of the periods presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We manage credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and other monitoring procedures. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our estimate of the amount of our receivables that we will be unable to collect. We develop our estimate of this allowance based on our historical experience with specific customers, our understanding of our current economic circumstances and our own judgment as to the likelihood of ultimate payment. Our largest exposure to doubtful accounts is in our rental operations. We perform credit evaluations of customers and establish credit limits based on reviews of our customers’ current credit information and payment histories. We believe our credit risk is somewhat mitigated by our geographically diverse customer base and our credit evaluation procedures. During the year, we write-off customer account balances when we have exhausted reasonable collection efforts and determined that the likelihood of collection is remote. Such write-offs are charged against our allowance for doubtful accounts. Bad debt expense as a percentage of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were approximately 0.5%, 0.2% and 0.4%, respectively. See Pending Accounting Pronouncements for new guidance related to expected credit losses. We do not have material contract assets, impairment losses associated therewith, or material contract liabilities associated with contracts with customers. Our contracts with customers do not generally result in material amounts billed to customers in excess of recognizable revenue. We did not recognize material revenues during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 or 2017 that was included in the contract liability balance as of the beginning of such periods. Performance obligations Most of our Topic 606 revenue is recognized at a point-in-time, rather than over time. Accordingly, in any particular period, we do not generally recognize a significant amount of revenue from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods, and the amount of such revenue recognized during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was not material. Payment terms Our Topic 606 revenues do not include material amounts of variable consideration. Our payment terms are typically net 30 days, but can vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. Our contracts do not generally include a significant financing component. Our contracts with customers do not generally result in significant obligations associated with returns, refunds or warranties. See above for a discussion of how we manage credit risk. Sales tax amounts collected from customers are recorded on a net basis. Contract costs We do not recognize any assets associated with the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer (for example, a sales commission) that we expect to recover. Most of our revenue is recognized at a point-in-time or over a period of one year or less, and we use the practical expedient that allows us to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. Contract estimates and judgments Our revenues accounted for under Topic 606 generally do not require significant estimates or judgments as the transaction price is generally fixed and stated on our contracts. Our contracts generally do not include multiple performance obligations, and accordingly do not generally require estimates of the standalone selling price for each performance obligation. Also, our revenues do not include material amounts of variable consideration. Substantially all of our revenues are recognized at a point-in-time and the timing of the satisfaction of the applicable performance obligations is readily determinable. As noted above, our Topic 606 revenues are generally recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer. Inventories We measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value; where net realizable value is considered to be estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal and transportation. For new and used equipment inventories, cost is determined by specific-identification. For inventories of parts and supplies, cost is determined by using average cost. Long-lived Assets and Goodwill Rental Equipment The rental equipment we purchase is stated at cost and is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the equipment using the straight-line method. The depreciation is included in rental depreciation within our consolidated statements of income. Estimated useful lives vary based upon type of equipment. Generally, we depreciate cranes and aerial work platforms over a ten year estimated useful life, earthmoving equipment over a five year estimated useful life with a 25% salvage value, and industrial lift trucks over a seven year estimated useful life. Attachments and other smaller type equipment are depreciated generally over a three year estimated useful life. We periodically evaluate the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives and any salvage value assigned to rental equipment. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs and property taxes are charged to operations as incurred. However, expenditures for additions or improvements that significantly extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized in the period incurred. When rental equipment is sold or disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gains or losses are included in income. We receive individual offers for fleet on a continual basis, at which time we perform an analysis on whether or not to accept the offer. The rental equipment is not transferred to inventory under the held for sale model as the equipment is used to generate revenues until the equipment is sold. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over the assets’ estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. However, expenditures for additions or improvements that significantly extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized in the period incurred. At the time assets are sold or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts and the related gains or losses are reflected in income. We capitalize interest on qualified construction projects. We additionally capitalize certain costs associated with internally developed software and cloud computing arrangements (see also Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements related to accounting guidance for cloud computing arrangements). We periodically evaluate the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives assigned to property and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives or the remaining term of the lease, whichever is shorter, Depreciation expense on property and equipment is included in SG&A expenses on our consolidated statements of income. Generally, we assign the following estimated useful lives to these categories: Category Estimated Useful Life Transportation equipment 5 years Buildings 39 years Office equipment 5 years Computer equipment 3 years Machinery and equipment 7 years When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of our rental fleet and property and equipment might not be recoverable, the expected future undiscounted cash flows from the assets are estimated and compared with the carrying amount of the assets. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recorded. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the assets with their carrying amounts. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, as appropriate. We did not record any impairment losses related to our rental equipment or property and equipment during 2019, 2018 or 2017. Goodwill We have made acquisitions in the past that included the recognition of goodwill. Goodwill is recorded as the excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. We evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if triggering events occur or other impairment indicators arise which might impair recoverability. Impairment of goodwill is evaluated at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment (i.e. before aggregation or combination), or one level below an operating segment (i.e. a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. We have identified two components within our Rental operating segment and have determined that each of our other operating segments (New, Used, Parts and Service) represent a reporting unit, resulting in six total reporting units. Prior to our adoption of ASU No. 2017-04, described below, Topic 350 required a two-step assessment to determine whether goodwill is impaired. The first step (“Step 1”) requires an entity to compare each reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill, and its fair value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, then the entity must perform the second step (“Step 2”), which is to compare the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying value, and record an impairment charge for any excess of carrying value over implied fair value. An entity also has an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. Considerable judgment is required by management in using the qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. During 2018, we performed, as of October 1, a qualitative assessment and determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of our reporting units was not less than its carrying value and, therefore, did not perform the prescribed quantitative goodwill impairment test. We considered various factors in performing the qualitative test, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, the overall financial performance of our reporting units, the Company’s stock price and the excess amount or “cushion” between our reporting unit’s fair value and carrying value as indicated on our most recent quantitative assessment. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”) to simplify how all entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test consists of one step, comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. We adopted ASU 2017-04 as of October 1, 2019. Given that we have completed three acquisitions in 2018 and 2019, resulting in a substantial increase in the amount of goodwill, we performed a Step 1 quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment as of October 1, 2019, our annual impairment testing date. For all reporting units, we compared the carrying values of each reporting unit, inclusive of goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets, to its fair value. We estimated the fair value of these reporting units by weighting results from the income approach and the market approach. Based on this quantitative test, we determined that our Rental Component 1, Rental Component 2, Used Equipment Sales and Parts reporting units were not impaired as their respective fair values exceeded their respective carrying values by at least 24% or more. However, the results of the quantitative test indicated that the respective fair values of the New Equipment Sales and Service Revenues reporting units were less than the carrying value of each reporting unit, resulting in a goodwill impairment totaling $12.2 million, or $10.7 million and $1.5 million for the New Equipment Sales and Service Revenues reporting units, respectively. The New Equipment Sales reporting unit impairment was largely due to a sharp decline in our 2019 fourth quarter new equipment sales revenues as over 75% of our full-year new equipment sales decline occurred in the fourth quarter. This decline, combined with our new equipment sales revenues growth rate and operating results assumptions for the forecast period under the income approach, resulted in a fair value determination, that when combined with the weighted fair value of the reporting unit determined under the market approach, was less than the reporting unit’s carrying value as of October 1, 2019, resulting in a $10.7 million impairment charge. The impairment of the Service Revenues reporting unit was largely due to our service revenues growth rate and operating results assumptions for the forecast period under the income approach, which resulted in a fair value determination, that when combined with the weighted fair value of the reporting unit determined under the market approach, was less than the reporting unit’s carrying value as of October 1, 2019, resulting in a $1.5 million impairment charge. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies for goodwill are employed and include, prospective financial information, growth rates, terminal value, discount rates, and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry. The inputs and variables used in determining the fair value of a reporting unit require management to make certain assumptions regarding the impact of operating and macroeconomic changes, as well as estimates of future cash flows. Our estimates regarding future cash flows are based on historical experience and projections of future operating performance, including revenues, margins and operating expenses. We also make certain forecasts about future economic conditions, such as the timing and duration of economic expansion or contraction cycles in our business, interest rates, and other market data. Many of the factors used in assessing fair value are outside the control of management, and these assumptions and estimates may change in future periods. The impairment charges are non-cash items and will not affect our cash flows, liquidity or borrowing capacity under the senior credit facility, and the charge is excluded from our financial results in evaluating our financial covenant under the senior secured credit facility. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for our reporting units for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (amounts in thousands): Eq. Rental Comp. 1 Eq. Rental Comp. 2 New Eq. Sales Used Eq.

See footnote 3 for further information (2) Increases are related to goodwill recognized in the WRI 2019 acquisition. See footnote 3 for further information (3) Decreases are related to the goodwill impairment calculated as of October 1, 2019. Intangible assets Our intangible assets include customer relationships, tradenames and leasehold interests that we acquired in recent acquisitions (see note 3 for further acquisition information). The customer relationships, tradenames and leasehold interests are amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of ten, one and ten years, respectively, from the date of acquisition. The gross carrying values, accumulated amortization and net carrying amounts of our major classes of intangible assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows (dollar amounts in thousands): December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Gross Accumulated Amortization Net Gross Accumulated Amortization Net Customer relationships $ 39,500 $ 6,729 $ 32,771 $ 31,000 $ 2,850 $ 28,150 Tradenames 200 183 17 500 450 50 Leasehold interests 200 40 160 200 20 180 Total $ 39,900 $ 6,952 $ 32,948 $ 31,700 $ 3,320 $ 28,380 Intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The impairment loss to be recorded would be the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation technique. Total amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 totaled $4.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and is included within SG&A expenses on the consolidated statements of income. There was no amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2017. The following table presents the expected amortization expense for each of the next five years ending December 31 and thereafter for those intangible assets with remaining carrying value as of December 31, 2019 (dollar amounts in thousands): Amortization Expense 2020 $ 3,987 2021 3,970 2022 3,970 2023 3,970 2024 3,970 Thereafter 13,081 $ 32,948 Leases The Company as Lessee We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the arrangement based on the terms and conditions in the contract. A contract contains a lease if there is an identified asset and we have the right to control the asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Lease arrangements can take several forms. Some arrangements are clearly within the scope of lease accounting, such as a real estate contract that provides an explicit contractual right to use a building for a specified period of time in exchange for consideration. However, the right to use an asset can also be conveyed through arrangements that are not leases in form, such as leases embedded within service and supply contracts. We analyze all arrangements with potential embedded leases to determine if an identified asset is present, if substantive substitution rights are present, and if the arrangement provides the customer control of the asset. Our lease portfolio is substantially comprised of operating leases related to leases of real estate and improvements at our branch locations. From time to time, we may also lease various types of small equipment and vehicles. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an individual asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide the lessor’s implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate (“IBR ” ) at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments by utilizing a fully collateralized rate for a fully amortizing loan with the same term as the lease. Lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain those options will be exercised. For leases with terms greater than 12 mont

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	(3) Acquisitions 2019 Acquisitions Cobra Equipment Rentals, LLC (dba “We-Rent-It”) Effective February 1, 2019, we completed the acquisition of We-Rent-It (“WRI”), an equipment rental company with six branches located in central Texas. The acquisition expands our presence in the surrounding market. The aggregate consideration paid to the owners of WRI was approximately $108.5 million.

We currently expect the goodwill recognized to be 100% deductible for income tax purposes. Total WRI acquisition costs were $0.4 million. Since our acquisition of WRI on February 1, 2019, significant amounts of equipment rental fleet have been moved between H&E locations and the acquired WRI locations, and it is impractical to reasonably estimate the amount of WRI revenues and earnings since the acquisition date. 2018 Acquisitions Contractors Equipment Center (“CEC”) Effective January 1, 2018, we completed the acquisition of CEC, a non-residential construction focused equipment rental company with three branches located in the greater Denver, Colorado area. The acquisition significantly expands our presence in the Denver area and surrounding markets. The aggregate consideration paid to the pre-acquisition owners of CEC was approximately $132.4 million. The acquisition and related fees and expenses were funded through available cash.

Since our acquisition of CEC on January 1, 2018, significant amounts of equipment rental fleet have been moved between H&E locations and the acquired CEC locations, and it is impractical to reasonably estimate the amount of CEC revenues and earnings since the acquisition date. Rental, LLC (dba “Rental Inc.”) Effective April 1, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Rental Inc., a non-residential equipment rental and distribution company with five branches located in Alabama, Florida and Western Georgia. The acquisition expands our presence in the surrounding market. The aggregate consideration paid to the owners of Rental Inc. was approximately $68.6 million. The acquisition and related fees and expenses were funded through available cash and from borrowings under our Credit Facility (as defined below).

Pro forma financial information We completed the CEC acquisition effective January 1, 2018. Therefore, the operating results of CEC are included in our reported condensed consolidated statements of income for the full year ended December 31, 2018.

Manufacturer Flooring Plans Payable	(7) Manufacturer Flooring Plans Payable Manufacturer flooring plans payable are financing arrangements for inventory and rental equipment. The interest cost incurred on the manufacturer flooring plans ranged from 0% to the prime rate (4.75% at December 31, 2019) plus an applicable margin at December 31, 2019. Certain manufacturer flooring plans provide for a one to twelve-month reduced interest rate term or a deferred payment period. We recognize interest expense based on the effective interest method. We make payments in accordance with the original terms of the financing agreements. However, we routinely sell equipment that is financed under manufacturer flooring plans prior to the original maturity date of the financing agreement. The related manufacturer flooring plan payable is then paid at the time the equipment being financed is sold. The manufacturer flooring plans payable are secured by the equipment being financed. Maturities (based on original financing terms) of the manufacturer flooring plans payable as of December 31, 2019 for the following years ending December 31 until paid are as follows (amounts in thousands): 2020 $ 11,658 2021 13,369 2022 174 Total $ 25,201

Debt Instrument [Line Items]
Senior Secured Credit Facility	(9) Senior Unsecured Notes On August 24, 2017, we completed an offering of $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.6250% senior notes due 2025 (the “New Notes”) and the settlement of a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) with respect to our 7% senior notes due 2022 (the “Old Notes”). Net proceeds, after deducting $10.3 million of estimated offering expenses, from the sale of the New Notes totaled approximately $739.7 million. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the New Notes to repurchase $329.7 million of aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes in early settlement of the Tender Offer, which the Company launched on August 17, 2017. Holders who tendered their Old Notes prior to the early tender deadline received $1,038.90 per $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes tendered, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the payment date of August 24, 2017. Effective as of August 24, 2017, we (i) provided notice of the redemption of all remaining Old Notes that were not validly tendered in the Tender Offer at the expiration time and (ii) satisfied and discharged the indenture governing the Old Notes in accordance with its terms. On September 25, 2017, we redeemed the remaining $300.3 million principal amount outstanding of the Old Notes at a redemption price equal to 103.50% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the date of redemption. In connection with the above transactions, we recorded a one-time loss on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $25.4 million, or approximately $18.9 million after-tax, reflecting payment of $12.8 million of tender premiums and $10.5 million of premiums in accordance with the indenture governing the Old Notes to redeem the Old Notes that remained outstanding following completion of the Tender Offer, combined with the write-off of approximately $2.0 million of unamortized note discount related to the Old Notes. Additional transaction costs incurred in connection with the offering of the New Notes totaled approximately $1.6 million. The New Notes were issued at par and require semiannual interest payments on March 1st and September 1st of each year, commencing on March 1, 2018. No principal payments are due until maturity (September 1, 2025). The New Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after September 1, 2020 at specified redemption prices plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. We may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the New Notes before September 1, 2020 with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. We may also redeem the New Notes prior to September 1, 2020 at a specified “make-whole” redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The New Notes rank equally in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness and rank senior to any of our subordinated indebtedness. The New Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of our current and future significant domestic restricted subsidiaries. In addition, the New Notes are effectively subordinated to all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness, including the Credit Facility, to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities and preferred stock of any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the New Notes. If we experience a change of control, we will be required to offer to purchase the New Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the New Notes contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness, assume a guarantee or issue preferred stock; (ii) pay dividends or make other equity distributions or payments to or affecting our subsidiaries; (iii) purchase or redeem our capital stock; (iv) make certain investments; (v) create liens; (vi) sell or dispose of assets or engage in mergers or consolidations; (vii) engage in certain transactions with subsidiaries or affiliates; (viii) enter into sale-leaseback transactions; and (ix) engage in certain business activities. Each of the covenants is subject to exceptions and qualifications. As of December 31, 2019, we were in compliance with these covenants. On November 22, 2017, we closed on an offering of $200 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior notes due 2025 (the “Add-on Notes”) in an unregistered offering through a private placement. The Add-on Notes were priced at 104.25% of the principal amount. Net proceeds from the offering of the Add-on Notes, including accrued interest from August 24, 2017 totaled approximately $ 209.2 million. The net proceeds of the offering, was used to repay indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s existing senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) and for the payment of fees and expenses related to the offering. The Add-on Notes were issued as additional notes under an indenture dated as of August 24, 2017, pursuant to which we previously issued the New Notes as described above. The Add-on Notes have identical terms to, rank equally with and form a part of a single class of securities with the New Notes. Pursuant to registration rights agreements entered into among us, the guarantors of the New Notes and the Add-On Notes, respectively, and the initial purchasers of the New Notes and the Add-On Notes, respectively, we agreed to make offers to exchange (collectively, the “Exchange Offer”) the New Notes and Add-On Notes and the respective guarantees for registered, publicly tradable notes and guarantees that have terms identical in all material respects to the New Notes and the Add-On Notes, respectively (except that the exchange notes do not contain any transfer restrictions) within a certain period of time following the completion of the respective note offerings. We completed the Exchange Offer for the New Notes and the Add-On Notes in March 2018. The following table reconciles our Senior Unsecured Notes to our Consolidated Balance Sheets (amounts in thousands): Balance at December 31, 2017 $ 944,088 Accretion of discount through December 31, 2018 1,539 Amortization of note premium through December 31, 2018 (1,062 ) Additional deferred financing costs on New Notes (97 ) Amortization of deferred financing costs through December 31, 2018 312 Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 944,780 Accretion of discount through December 31, 2019 1,539 Amortization of note premium through December 31, 2019 (1,062 ) Additional deferred financing costs on New Notes — Amortization of deferred financing costs through December 31, 2019 309 Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 945,566

In addition, the Credit Facility remains secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. At December 31, 2019, we had $216.9 million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility and could borrow up to $525.4 million and remain in compliance with the debt covenants under the Company’s credit facility. At February 18, 2020, we had $559.4 million of available borrowings under our Credit Facility, net of a $7.7 million outstanding letter of credit.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	(11) Leases We adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019. Because we adopted Topic 842 using the transition method that allowed us to initially apply Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019 and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, prior year financial statements were not recast under the new standard and, therefore, those prior year amounts are not presented below. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we estimate our IBR to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. Our IBR represents a fully collateralized rate for a fully amortizing loan with the same term as the lease At December 31, 2019, as disclosed in our consolidated balance sheet, we had net operating lease right-of-use assets of $156.6 million and net finance lease right-of-use assets of $0.4 million. Our operating lease liabilities at December 31, 2019 were $159.3 million and finance lease liabilities were $0.6 million. The weighted average remaining lease term for operating leases was approximately 10.4 years and the weighted average remaining lease term for finance leases was approximately 2.3 years. The weighted average discount rate for operating and finance leases was approximately 6.8% and 5.9%, respectively. The table below presents certain information related to lease costs, under Topic 842, for our operating and finance leases for the years ended December 31, (in thousands).

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	(12) Income Taxes On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. Among other changes, the Act reduced the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%. As a result of the rate change, in 2017 we recorded a one-time decrease in income tax expense of $66.9 million from the re-measurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities which is reflected in the tables below. Our accounting for the income tax effects of the Act is complete and there were no changes made to the enactment-date accounting during 2018 and 2019. Our income tax provision (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, consists of the following (amounts in thousands): Current Deferred Total Year ended December 31, 2019: U.S. Federal $ (761 ) $ 25,134 $ 24,373 State 2,398 1,879 4,277 $ 1,637 $ 27,013 $ 28,650 Year ended December 31, 2018: U.S. Federal $ (1,523 ) $ 23,127 $ 21,604 State 2,868 3,568 6,436 $ 1,345 $ 26,695 $ 28,040 Year ended December 31, 2017: U.S. Federal $ — $ (54,241 ) $ (54,241 ) State 221 3,706 3,927 $ 221 $ (50,535 ) $ (50,314 ) Significant components of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of December 31 are as follows (amounts in thousands): 2019 2018 Deferred tax assets: Accounts receivable $ 1,283 $ 1,010 Inventories 83 93 Net operating losses 101,212 86,859 AMT and tax credits 1,334 2,110 Sec 263A costs 608 752 Accrued liabilities 2,970 2,869 Deferred compensation 1,499 1,561 Accrued interest 410 387 Stock-based compensation 247 146 Goodwill and intangible assets 711 346 Other assets 597 415 110,954 96,548 Valuation allowance — (609 ) 110,954 95,939 Deferred tax liabilities: Property and equipment (287,654 ) (245,198 ) Investments (1,072 ) (1,076 ) Goodwill and intangible assets (2,354 ) (2,778 ) (291,080 ) (249,052 ) Net deferred tax liabilities $ (180,126 ) $ (153,113 ) The reconciliation between income taxes computed using the statutory federal income tax rate (21% for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and 35% for the year ended December 31, 2017) to the actual income tax expense (benefit) is below (amounts in thousands): 2019 2018 2017 Computed tax at statutory rates $ 24,331 $ 21,979 $ 20,770 Permanent items - other 1,065 1,021 911 Permanent items - excess of tax deductible goodwill — — (2,130 ) State income tax, net of federal tax effect 6,944 5,246 2,563 Change in valuation allowance (609 ) (123 ) 397 Change in uncertain tax positions — (83 ) (5,960 ) Other - change in deferred state rate (3,081 ) — — Impact of the Act federal rate change — — (66,865 ) $ 28,650 $ 28,040 $ (50,314 ) At December 31, 2019, we had available federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $86.2 million, which expire in varying amounts from 2030 through 2036 and $366.9 million, which does not expire. We also had federal alternative minimum tax credit carry forwards at December 31, 2019 of approximately $1.5 million which do not expire and $0.4 million general business credit carry forwards that expire in varying amounts from 2026 and 2037, and state income tax credits of $0.2 million that expire in varying amounts beginning in 2022. In accordance with changes made by the Act, our AMT credit became refundable between 2018 and 2022; therefore, we have reclassified $0.8 million from deferred income taxes to income tax receivable during the year ended December 31, 2019. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards in the income tax returns filed included unrecognized tax benefits taken in prior years. These net operating losses for which a deferred tax asset is recognized for financial statement purposes in accordance with ASC 740 are presented net of these unrecognized tax benefits. Management has concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are fully realizable through future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and future taxable income. Therefore, a valuation allowance is not required to reduce those deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we decreased our valuation allowance by $0.6 million for certain state net operating losses that are expected to be fully realized. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands): 2019 2018 Gross unrecognized tax benefits at January 1 $ — $ 106 Increases in tax positions taken in prior years — — Decreases in tax positions taken in prior years — (106 ) Lapse in statute of limitations — — Gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31 $ — $ — As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we have no reserves established for the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits. We do not expect a material change in unrecognized tax benefits related to federal and state exposures will occur within the next twelve months. Our U.S. federal tax returns for 2016 and subsequent years remain subject to examination by tax authorities. We are also subject to examination in various state jurisdictions for 2013 and subsequent years.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	(13) Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters As further discussed in Note 2 to these consolidated financial statements, we are exposed to various claims relating to our business, including those for which we retain portions of the losses through the application of deductibles and self-insured retentions, or self-insurance. Losses that exceed our deductibles and self-insured retentions are insured through various commercial lines of insurance policies. As of February 20, 2020, we are aware of a contingent liability related to an automobile liability claim for which we have determined that an unfavorable outcome is probable. Based on the information currently available to us, we cannot predict the timing of the claim’s ultimate resolution or reasonably estimate the amount or a range of potential losses that will arise from the claim. The ultimate loss on the insured claim could be material. Pursuant to ASC 450, Contingencies, and other relevant guidance, when the contingency become both probable and estimable, our consolidated balance sheets will reflect a liability for the total amount of estimated claim and an asset for the portion of the claim recoverable through insurance. This gross-up presentation could be material to our consolidated balance sheets. Our loss exposure, however, is limited to our insurance policy deductible, which is immaterial to our consolidated statements of income. We are also involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these various matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Letters of Credit The Company had outstanding letters of credit issued under its Credit Facility totaling $7.7 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The letters of credit expire in May 2020 one-year

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]
Deferred Compensation Plans	(15) Deferred Compensation Plans In 2001, we assumed, in a business combination, nonqualified employee deferred compensation plans under which certain employees had previously elected to defer a portion of their annual compensation. Upon assumption of the plans, the plans were amended to not allow further participant compensation deferrals. Compensation previously deferred under the plans is payable upon the termination, disability or death of the participants. At December 31, 2019, we have obligations remaining under one deferred compensation plan. All other plans have terminated pursuant to the provisions of each respective plan. The remaining plan accumulates interest each year at a bank’s prime rate in effect at the beginning of January of each year. This rate remains constant throughout the year. The effective rate for the 2019 calendar plan year was 5.50%. The aggregate deferred compensation payable at December 31, 201 9 and December 31, 201 8 was approximately $ million and $ 2.0 million, respectively. Included in these amount s at December 31, 201 9 and 201 8 was accrued interest of $ million and $ million, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation	Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation Our consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of H&E Equipment Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries H&E Finance Corp., GNE Investments, Inc., Great Northern Equipment, Inc., H&E California Holding, Inc., H&E Equipment Services (California), LLC and H&E Equipment Services (Mid-Atlantic), Inc., collectively referred to herein as “we” or “us” or “our” or the “Company.” All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements. Business combinations are included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The nature of our business is such that short-term obligations are typically met by cash flows generated from long-term assets. Consequently, and consistent with industry practice, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are presented on an unclassified basis. Reclassifications and Comparability Prior period hauling revenues and related cost of revenues have been reclassified to conform to the current periods’ presentation. The tables below (amounts in thousands) reconcile for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, our Revenues, Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit as previously reported to the current period presentation in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. These assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes in facts and circumstances may cause us to revise these estimates.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Leases, Under Topic 606, revenue from contracts with customers is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. Our contracts with customers generally do not include multiple performance obligations. Nature of goods and services The tables below summarize our revenues as presented in our consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 by revenue type and by the applicable accounting standard (amounts in thousands). Year Ended December 31, 2019 Topic 842 Topic 606 Total Revenues: Rental revenues Owned equipment rentals $ 668,087 $ 1,118 $ 669,205 Re-rent revenue 25,342 — 25,342 Ancillary and other rental revenues: Delivery and pick-up — 40,049 40,049 Other 31,758 — 31,758 Total ancillary rental revenues 31,758 40,049 71,807 Total equipment rental revenues 725,187 41,167 766,354 New equipment sales — 239,091 239,091 Used equipment sales — 139,349 139,349 Parts sales — 123,855 123,855 Services revenues — 67,941 67,941 Other — 11,775 11,775 Total revenues $ 725,187 $ 623,178 $ 1,348,365 Year Ended December 31, 2018 Topic 840 (1) Topic 606 Total Revenues: Rental revenues Owned equipment rentals $ 568,412 $ 1,334 $ 569,746 Re-rent revenue 22,447 — 22,447 Ancillary and other rental revenues: Delivery and pick-up — 34,988 34,988 Other — — — Total ancillary rental revenues — 34,988 34,988 Total equipment rental revenues 590,859 36,322 627,181 New equipment sales — 262,948 262,948 Used equipment sales — 125,125 125,125 Parts sales — 120,454 120,454 Services revenues — 63,488 63,488 Other 21,693 18,072 39,765 Total revenues $ 612,552 $ 626,409 $ 1,238,961 Year Ended December 31, 2017 Topic 840 (1) Topic 606 Total Revenues: Rental revenues Owned equipment rentals $ 459,571 $ 2,038 $ 461,609 Re-rent revenue 17,407 — 17,407 Ancillary and other rental revenues: Delivery and pick-up — 29,105 29,105 Other — — — Total ancillary rental revenues — 29,105 29,105 Total equipment rental revenues 476,978 31,143 508,121 New equipment sales — 203,301 203,301 Used equipment sales — 107,329 107,329 Parts sales — 114,253 114,253 Services revenues — 62,873 62,873 Other 17,791 16,351 34,142 Total revenues $ 494,769 $ 535,250 $ 1,030,019 (1) Prior to our adoption of Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, l eases were accounted for under Topic 840. See additional information below in Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. Revenues by reporting segment are presented in note 18 of our condensed consolidated financial statements, using the revenue captions reflected in our consolidated statements of income. We believe that the disaggregation of our revenues from contracts to customers as reflected above, coupled with further discussion below and the reporting segment in note 18, depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Lease revenues Topic 842 Owned Equipment Rentals: Owned equipment rentals represent revenues from renting equipment. We account for these rental contracts as operating leases. We recognize revenue from equipment rentals in the period earned, regardless of the timing of billing to customers. A rental contract includes rates for daily, weekly or monthly use, and rental revenues are earned on a daily basis as rental contracts remain outstanding. Because the rental contracts can extend across multiple reporting periods, we record unbilled rental revenues and deferred rental revenues at the end of reporting periods so rental revenues earned is appropriately stated for the periods presented. Re-rent revenue: Re-rent revenue reflects revenues from equipment that we rent from vendors and then rent to our customers. We account for such rentals as subleases. The accounting for re-rent revenue is the same as the accounting for owned equipment rentals described above. Other equipment rental revenue : Other equipment rental revenue is primarily comprised of (i) revenue from customers who purchase insurance to protect against potential damages or loss the equipment they rent, (ii) environmental charges associated with the rental of equipment, and (iii) fuel recovery fees charged to customers. Fuel consumption charges are recognized upon return of the rental equipment when fuel consumption by the customer, if any, can be measured. Income from environmental fees and damage waiver insurance policies are recognized when earned over the period the equipment is rented. Topic 840 Rental Revenues: Owned equipment rentals represent revenues from renting equipment. We account for these rental contracts as operating leases. We recognize revenue from equipment rentals in the period earned, regardless of the timing of billing to customers. A rental contract includes rates for daily, weekly or monthly use, and rental revenues are earned on a daily basis as rental contracts remain outstanding. Because the rental contracts can extend across multiple reporting periods, we record unbilled rental revenues and deferred rental revenues at the end of reporting periods so rental revenues earned is appropriately stated for the periods presented. Other: Other rental revenues primarily represent services performed by us in connection with the rental of equipment to a customer, such as fuel consumption charges, environmental fees and damage waiver insurance. Fuel consumption charges are recognized upon return of the rental equipment when fuel consumption by the customer, if any, can be measured. Income from environmental fees and damage waiver insurance policies are recognized when earned over the period the equipment is rented . Revenues from contracts with customers (Topic 606) The accounting for the types of revenues accounted for pursuant to Topic 606 are discussed below. Substantially all of our revenues under Topic 606 are recognized at a point-in-time rather than over time. Rental revenues: An insignificant portion of our total equipment rental revenues are recognized pursuant to Topic 606 rather than pursuant to Topic 842. These revenues represent services performed by us in connection with the rental of equipment and are comprised of customer training fees on rented equipment and erection and dismantling services on rental equipment. Revenues for these services are recognized upon completion of such services. See discussion above regarding rental revenues recognized pursuant to Topic 842. Delivery and pick-up : Delivery and pick-up revenue associated with renting equipment is recognized when the service is performed. New equipment sales: Revenues from the sales of new equipment are recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the promised good. Used equipment sales: Revenues from the sales of used equipment are recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer, which is when the customer obtains control of the promised good. Parts sales: Revenues from the sales of equipment parts are recognized at the time of pick-up by the customer for parts counter sales transactions. For parts that are shipped to a customer, we made an accounting policy election permitted by Topic 606 to treat such shipping activities as fulfillment costs, which results in the fees for shipping activities being included in the parts sales transaction price. Services revenues: We derive our services primarily from maintenance and repair services to customers for their owned equipment. We recognize services revenues at the time such services are completed, which is when the customer obtains control of the promised service. Other revenues : Other revenues relate primarily to ancillary charges associated with equipment maintenance and repair services. Such revenues are recognized at the time the services are performed. Receivables and contract assets and liabilities We manage credit risk associated with our accounts receivables at the customer level. Because the same customers typically generate the revenues that are accounted for under both Topic 606 and Topic 842, the discussions below on credit risk and our allowances for doubtful accounts address our total revenues from Topic 606 and Topic 842. We believe concentration of credit risk with respect to our receivables is limited because our customer base is comprised of a large number of geographically diverse customers. Our largest customer accounted for less than two percent of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our revenues on an overall or segment basis for any of the periods presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We manage credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and other monitoring procedures. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our estimate of the amount of our receivables that we will be unable to collect. We develop our estimate of this allowance based on our historical experience with specific customers, our understanding of our current economic circumstances and our own judgment as to the likelihood of ultimate payment. Our largest exposure to doubtful accounts is in our rental operations. We perform credit evaluations of customers and establish credit limits based on reviews of our customers’ current credit information and payment histories. We believe our credit risk is somewhat mitigated by our geographically diverse customer base and our credit evaluation procedures. During the year, we write-off customer account balances when we have exhausted reasonable collection efforts and determined that the likelihood of collection is remote. Such write-offs are charged against our allowance for doubtful accounts. Bad debt expense as a percentage of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were approximately 0.5%, 0.2% and 0.4%, respectively. See Pending Accounting Pronouncements for new guidance related to expected credit losses. We do not have material contract assets, impairment losses associated therewith, or material contract liabilities associated with contracts with customers. Our contracts with customers do not generally result in material amounts billed to customers in excess of recognizable revenue. We did not recognize material revenues during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 or 2017 that was included in the contract liability balance as of the beginning of such periods. Performance obligations Most of our Topic 606 revenue is recognized at a point-in-time, rather than over time. Accordingly, in any particular period, we do not generally recognize a significant amount of revenue from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods, and the amount of such revenue recognized during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was not material. Payment terms Our Topic 606 revenues do not include material amounts of variable consideration. Our payment terms are typically net 30 days, but can vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. The time between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. Our contracts do not generally include a significant financing component. Our contracts with customers do not generally result in significant obligations associated with returns, refunds or warranties. See above for a discussion of how we manage credit risk. Sales tax amounts collected from customers are recorded on a net basis. Contract costs We do not recognize any assets associated with the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer (for example, a sales commission) that we expect to recover. Most of our revenue is recognized at a point-in-time or over a period of one year or less, and we use the practical expedient that allows us to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that we otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. Contract estimates and judgments Our revenues accounted for under Topic 606 generally do not require significant estimates or judgments as the transaction price is generally fixed and stated on our contracts. Our contracts generally do not include multiple performance obligations, and accordingly do not generally require estimates of the standalone selling price for each performance obligation. Also, our revenues do not include material amounts of variable consideration. Substantially all of our revenues are recognized at a point-in-time and the timing of the satisfaction of the applicable performance obligations is readily determinable. As noted above, our Topic 606 revenues are generally recognized at the time of delivery to, or pick-up by, the customer.
Inventories	Inventories We measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value; where net realizable value is considered to be estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal and transportation. For new and used equipment inventories, cost is determined by specific-identification. For inventories of parts and supplies, cost is determined by using average cost.
Long-lived Assets and Goodwill	Long-lived Assets and Goodwill Rental Equipment The rental equipment we purchase is stated at cost and is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the equipment using the straight-line method. The depreciation is included in rental depreciation within our consolidated statements of income. Estimated useful lives vary based upon type of equipment. Generally, we depreciate cranes and aerial work platforms over a ten year estimated useful life, earthmoving equipment over a five year estimated useful life with a 25% salvage value, and industrial lift trucks over a seven year estimated useful life. Attachments and other smaller type equipment are depreciated generally over a three year estimated useful life. We periodically evaluate the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives and any salvage value assigned to rental equipment. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs and property taxes are charged to operations as incurred. However, expenditures for additions or improvements that significantly extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized in the period incurred. When rental equipment is sold or disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gains or losses are included in income. We receive individual offers for fleet on a continual basis, at which time we perform an analysis on whether or not to accept the offer. The rental equipment is not transferred to inventory under the held for sale model as the equipment is used to generate revenues until the equipment is sold. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over the assets’ estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. However, expenditures for additions or improvements that significantly extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized in the period incurred. At the time assets are sold or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts and the related gains or losses are reflected in income. We capitalize interest on qualified construction projects. We additionally capitalize certain costs associated with internally developed software and cloud computing arrangements (see also Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements related to accounting guidance for cloud computing arrangements). We periodically evaluate the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives assigned to property and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives or the remaining term of the lease, whichever is shorter, Depreciation expense on property and equipment is included in SG&A expenses on our consolidated statements of income. Generally, we assign the following estimated useful lives to these categories: Category Estimated Useful Life Transportation equipment 5 years Buildings 39 years Office equipment 5 years Computer equipment 3 years Machinery and equipment 7 years When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of our rental fleet and property and equipment might not be recoverable, the expected future undiscounted cash flows from the assets are estimated and compared with the carrying amount of the assets. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recorded. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the assets with their carrying amounts. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, as appropriate. We did not record any impairment losses related to our rental equipment or property and equipment during 2019, 2018 or 2017. Goodwill We have made acquisitions in the past that included the recognition of goodwill. Goodwill is recorded as the excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. We evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if triggering events occur or other impairment indicators arise which might impair recoverability. Impairment of goodwill is evaluated at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment (i.e. before aggregation or combination), or one level below an operating segment (i.e. a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. We have identified two components within our Rental operating segment and have determined that each of our other operating segments (New, Used, Parts and Service) represent a reporting unit, resulting in six total reporting units. Prior to our adoption of ASU No. 2017-04, described below, Topic 350 required a two-step assessment to determine whether goodwill is impaired. The first step (“Step 1”) requires an entity to compare each reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill, and its fair value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, then the entity must perform the second step (“Step 2”), which is to compare the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying value, and record an impairment charge for any excess of carrying value over implied fair value. An entity also has an option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. Considerable judgment is required by management in using the qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. During 2018, we performed, as of October 1, a qualitative assessment and determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of our reporting units was not less than its carrying value and, therefore, did not perform the prescribed quantitative goodwill impairment test. We considered various factors in performing the qualitative test, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, the overall financial performance of our reporting units, the Company’s stock price and the excess amount or “cushion” between our reporting unit’s fair value and carrying value as indicated on our most recent quantitative assessment. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”) to simplify how all entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test consists of one step, comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. We adopted ASU 2017-04 as of October 1, 2019. Given that we have completed three acquisitions in 2018 and 2019, resulting in a substantial increase in the amount of goodwill, we performed a Step 1 quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment as of October 1, 2019, our annual impairment testing date. For all reporting units, we compared the carrying values of each reporting unit, inclusive of goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets, to its fair value. We estimated the fair value of these reporting units by weighting results from the income approach and the market approach. Based on this quantitative test, we determined that our Rental Component 1, Rental Component 2, Used Equipment Sales and Parts reporting units were not impaired as their respective fair values exceeded their respective carrying values by at least 24% or more. However, the results of the quantitative test indicated that the respective fair values of the New Equipment Sales and Service Revenues reporting units were less than the carrying value of each reporting unit, resulting in a goodwill impairment totaling $12.2 million, or $10.7 million and $1.5 million for the New Equipment Sales and Service Revenues reporting units, respectively. The New Equipment Sales reporting unit impairment was largely due to a sharp decline in our 2019 fourth quarter new equipment sales revenues as over 75% of our full-year new equipment sales decline occurred in the fourth quarter. This decline, combined with our new equipment sales revenues growth rate and operating results assumptions for the forecast period under the income approach, resulted in a fair value determination, that when combined with the weighted fair value of the reporting unit determined under the market approach, was less than the reporting unit’s carrying value as of October 1, 2019, resulting in a $10.7 million impairment charge. The impairment of the Service Revenues reporting unit was largely due to our service revenues growth rate and operating results assumptions for the forecast period under the income approach, which resulted in a fair value determination, that when combined with the weighted fair value of the reporting unit determined under the market approach, was less than the reporting unit’s carrying value as of October 1, 2019, resulting in a $1.5 million impairment charge. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies for goodwill are employed and include, prospective financial information, growth rates, terminal value, discount rates, and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry. The inputs and variables used in determining the fair value of a reporting unit require management to make certain assumptions regarding the impact of operating and macroeconomic changes, as well as estimates of future cash flows. Our estimates regarding future cash flows are based on historical experience and projections of future operating performance, including revenues, margins and operating expenses. We also make certain forecasts about future economic conditions, such as the timing and duration of economic expansion or contraction cycles in our business, interest rates, and other market data. Many of the factors used in assessing fair value are outside the control of management, and these assumptions and estimates may change in future periods. The impairment charges are non-cash items and will not affect our cash flows, liquidity or borrowing capacity under the senior credit facility, and the charge is excluded from our financial results in evaluating our financial covenant under the senior secured credit facility. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for our reporting units for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (amounts in thousands): Eq. Rental Comp. 1 Eq. Rental Comp. 2 New Eq. Sales Used Eq. Sales Parts Sales Service Revenues Total Balance at December 31, 2017 $ — $ 18,700 $ — $ 6,137 $ 6,360 $ — $ 31,197 Increases (1) 34,297 23,836 10,434 2,324 2,550 1,205 74,646 Decreases — — — — — — — Balance at December 31, 2018 34,297 42,536 10,434 8,461 8,910 1,205 105,843 Increases (2) 14,918 19,775 254 500 2,045 291 37,783 Decreases (3) — — (10,688 ) — — (1,496 ) (12,184 ) Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 49,215 $ 62,311 $ — $ 8,961 $ 10,955 $ — $ 131,442 (1) Increases are related to goodwill recognized in the CEC and Rental Inc. 2018 acquisitions. See footnote 3 for further information (2) Increases are related to goodwill recognized in the WRI 2019 acquisition. See footnote 3 for further information (3) Decreases are related to the goodwill impairment calculated as of October 1, 2019.
Intangible assets	Intangible assets Our intangible assets include customer relationships, tradenames and leasehold interests that we acquired in recent acquisitions (see note 3 for further acquisition information). The customer relationships, tradenames and leasehold interests are amortized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of ten, one and ten years, respectively, from the date of acquisition. The gross carrying values, accumulated amortization and net carrying amounts of our major classes of intangible assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows (dollar amounts in thousands): December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Gross Accumulated Amortization Net Gross Accumulated Amortization Net Customer relationships $ 39,500 $ 6,729 $ 32,771 $ 31,000 $ 2,850 $ 28,150 Tradenames 200 183 17 500 450 50 Leasehold interests 200 40 160 200 20 180 Total $ 39,900 $ 6,952 $ 32,948 $ 31,700 $ 3,320 $ 28,380 Intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The impairment loss to be recorded would be the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation technique. Total amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 totaled $4.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and is included within SG&A expenses on the consolidated statements of income. There was no amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2017. The following table presents the expected amortization expense for each of the next five years ending December 31 and thereafter for those intangible assets with remaining carrying value as of December 31, 2019 (dollar amounts in thousands): Amortization Expense 2020 $ 3,987 2021 3,970 2022 3,970 2023 3,970 2024 3,970 Thereafter 13,081 $ 32,948
Leases	Leases The Company as Lessee We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the arrangement based on the terms and conditions in the contract. A contract contains a lease if there is an identified asset and we have the right to control the asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Lease arrangements can take several forms. Some arrangements are clearly within the scope of lease accounting, such as a real estate contract that provides an explicit contractual right to use a building for a specified period of time in exchange for consideration. However, the right to use an asset can also be conveyed through arrangements that are not leases in form, such as leases embedded within service and supply contracts. We analyze all arrangements with potential embedded leases to determine if an identified asset is present, if substantive substitution rights are present, and if the arrangement provides the customer control of the asset. Our lease portfolio is substantially comprised of operating leases related to leases of real estate and improvements at our branch locations. From time to time, we may also lease various types of small equipment and vehicles. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an individual asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide the lessor’s implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate (“IBR ” ) at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments by utilizing a fully collateralized rate for a fully amortizing loan with the same term as the lease. Lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain those options will be exercised. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Many of our leases include rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into our determination of lease payments when such renewal options and/or termination options are reasonably certain of exercise. We do not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts. Variable lease payments, which represent lease payments that vary due to changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date other than the passage of time, are expensed in the period in which the obligation for these payments was incurred. A ROU asset is subject to the same impairment guidance as assets categorized as plant, property, and equipment. As such, any impairment loss on ROU assets is presented in the same manner as an impairment loss recognized on other long-lived assets. A lease modification is a change to the terms and conditions of a contract that change the scope or consideration of a lease. For example, a change to the terms and conditions to the contract that adds or terminates the right to use one or more underlying assets, or extends or shortens the contractual lease term, is a modification. Depending on facts and circumstances, a lease modification may be accounted as either: (1) the original lease plus the lease of a separate asset(s) or (2) a modified lease. A lease will be remeasured if there are changes to the lease contract that do not give rise to a separate lease. See also Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements below regarding our adoption of the new lease accounting guidance as of January 1, 2019. Also see note 11 related to the required lease disclosures. The Company as Lessor Our equipment rental business involves rental contracts with customers whereby we are the lessor in the transaction and therefore, such transactions are subject to Topic 842. We account for such rental contracts as operating leases. We recognize revenue from equipment rentals in the period earned, regardless of the timing of billing to customers. A rental contract includes rates for daily, weekly or monthly use, and rental revenues are earned on a daily basis as rental contracts remain outstanding. Because the rental contracts can extend across multiple reporting periods, we record unbilled rental revenues and deferred rental revenues at the end of reporting periods so rental revenues earned is appropriately stated for the periods presented.
Deferred Financing Costs and Initial Purchasers' Discounts	Deferred Financing Costs and Initial Purchasers’ Discounts Deferred financing costs include legal, accounting and other direct costs incurred in connection with the issuance and amendments thereto, of the Company’s debt. These costs are amortized over the terms of the related debt using the straight-line method which approximates amortization using the effective interest method. Initial purchasers’ discount and bond premium is the differential between the price paid to an issuer for the new issue and the prices (below and above, respectively) at which the securities are initially offered to the investing public. The amortization expense of deferred financing costs and bond premium and accretion of initial purchasers’ discounts are included in interest expense as an overall cost of the related financings. Such costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount.
Reserves for Claims	Reserves for Claims We are exposed to various claims relating to our business, including those for which we provide self-insurance. Claims for which we self-insure include: (1) workers compensation claims; (2) general liability claims by third parties for injury or property damage caused by our equipment or personnel; (3) automobile liability claims; and (4) employee health insurance claims. These types of claims may take a substantial amount of time to resolve and, accordingly, the ultimate liability associated with a particular claim, including claims incurred but not reported as of a period-end reporting date, may not be known for an extended period of time. Our methodology for developing self-insurance reserves is based on management estimates. Our estimation process considers, among other matters, the cost of known claims over time, cost inflation and incurred but not reported claims. These estimates may change based on, among other things, changes in our claim history or receipt of additional information relevant to assessing the claims. Further, these estimates may prove to be inaccurate due to factors such as adverse judicial determinations or other claim settlements at higher than estimated amounts. Accordingly, we may be required to increase or decrease our reserve levels. At December 31, 2019, our claims reserves related to workers compensation, general liability and automobile liability, which are included in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” in our consolidated balance sheets, totaled $5.9 million and our health insurance reserves totaled $1.6 million. At December 31, 2018, our claims reserves related to workers compensation, general liability and automobile liability totaled $4.8 million and our health insurance reserves totaled $1.3 million.
Advertising	Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $0.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company is a C-Corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. We utilize the asset and liability approach to measure deferred tax assets and liabilities based on temporary differences existing at each balance sheet date using currently enacted tax rates. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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 of a change in tax rate is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date of that rate. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax provisions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company recognizes both interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in net other income (expense). Our deferred tax calculation requires management to make certain estimates about future operations. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The FASB fair value measurement guidance established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three broad levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring a company to develop its own assumptions The carrying value of financial instruments reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses payable and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term nature or maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts and fair values of our other financial instruments subject to fair value disclosures as of December 31, 201 9 and 201 8 are presented in the table below (amounts in thousands) . December 31, 2019 Carrying Amount Fair Value Manufacturer flooring plans payable with interest computed at 5.25% (Level 3) $ 25,201 $ 21,615 Senior unsecured notes due 2025 with interest computed at 5.625% (Level 2) 945,566 995,125 December 31, 2018 Carrying Amount Fair Value Manufacturer flooring plans payable with interest computed at 5.50% (Level 3) $ 23,666 $ 19,870 Senior unsecured notes due 2025 with interest computed at 5.625% (Level 2) 944,780 871,625 Capital leases payable with interest computed at 5.929% to 9.55% (Level 3) 726 330 At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the fair value of our senior unsecured notes due 2025 was based on quoted bond trading market prices for those notes. The carrying amounts and fair values of our other financial instruments subject to fair value disclosures have been calculated based upon market quotes and present value calculations based on market rates. See also Pending Accounting Pronouncements below for new guidance related to fair value disclosures. Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis Our non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are adjusted to fair value only when an impairment charge is recognized or the underlying investment is sold. Such fair value measurements are based predominately on Level 3 inputs. The results of our 2019 goodwill impairment quantitative test indicated that the respective fair values of the New Equipment Sales and Service Revenues reporting units were less than the carrying value of each reporting unit, resulting in a goodwill impairment totaling $12.2 million, or $10.7 million and $1.5 million for the New Equipment Sales and Service Revenues reporting units, respectively. See above for additional information.
Concentrations of Credit and Supplier Risk	Concentrations of Credit and Supplier Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. Credit risk can be negatively impacted by adverse changes in the economy or by disruptions in the credit markets. However, we believe that credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is somewhat mitigated by our large number of geographically diverse customers and our credit evaluation procedures. Although generally no collateral is required, when feasible, mechanics’ liens are filed and personal guarantees are signed to protect the Company’s interests. We maintain reserves for potential losses. We record trade accounts receivables at sales value and establish specific reserves for certain customer accounts identified as known collection problems due to insolvency, disputes or other collection issues. The amounts of the specific reserves estimated by management are based on the following assumptions and variables: the customer’s financial position, age of the customer’s receivables and changes in payment schedules. In addition to the specific reserves, management establishes a non-specific allowance for doubtful accounts by applying specific percentages to the different receivable aging categories (excluding the specifically reserved accounts). The percentage applied against the aging categories increases as the accounts become further past due. The allowance for doubtful accounts is charged with the write-off of uncollectible customer accounts. We purchase a significant amount of equipment from the same manufacturers with whom we have distribution agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we purchased approximately 54% from five manufacturers (Grove/Manitowoc, Genie Industries (Terex), JCB, Komatsu, and John Deere) providing our rental and sales equipment. We believe that while there are alternative sources of supply for the equipment we purchase in each of the principal product categories, termination of one or more of our relationships with any of our major suppliers of equipment could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation if we were unable to obtain adequate or timely rental and sales equipment.
Income per Share	Income per Share Income per common share for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The effects of potentially dilutive securities that are anti-dilutive are not included in the computation of diluted income per share. We include all common shares granted under our incentive compensation plan which remain unvested (“restricted common shares”) and contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid (“participating securities”), in the number of shares outstanding in our basic and diluted EPS calculations using the two-class method. All of our restricted common shares are currently participating securities. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings allocated to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In applying the two-class method, distributed and undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and restricted common shares based on the total weighted average shares outstanding during the period. The number of restricted common shares outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were less than 1% of total outstanding shares for each of the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 and consequently, were immaterial to the basic and diluted EPS calculations. Therefore, use of the two-class method had no impact on our basic and diluted EPS calculations as presented for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the years ended December 31, (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts): 2019 2018 2017 Basic net income per share: Net income $ 87,211 $ 76,623 $ 109,658 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 35,859 35,677 35,516 Net income per common share — basic $ 2.43 $ 2.15 $ 3.09 Diluted net income per share: Net income $ 87,211 $ 76,623 $ 109,658 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 35,859 35,677 35,516 Effect of dilutive securities: Effect of dilutive non-vested stock 174 226 183 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding — diluted 36,033 35,903 35,699 Net income per common share — diluted $ 2.42 $ 2.13 $ 3.07 Common shares excluded from the denominator as anti-dilutive: Non-vested stock 32 43 —
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation We adopted our 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended and restated from time to time, the “Prior Stock Plan”) and over the ten years prior to June 2016, we had been granting awards under our Prior Stock Plan. The Prior Stock Plan expired pursuant to its terms in June 2016, and the Company is no longer able to grant equity awards under the Prior Stock Plan. At our annual meeting of stockholders in May 2016, our stockholders approved our 2016 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2016 Plan” and collectively with the Prior Stock Plan, the “Stock Plans”). To the extent that awards granted under the Prior Stock Plan are forfeited or otherwise terminate for any reason whatsoever without an actual distribution or issuance of shares, the plan limit will be increased by such number of shares. The Stock Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, which selects persons eligible to receive awards and determines the number of shares and/or options subject to each award, the terms, conditions, performance measures, if any, and other provisions of the award. Under the Stock Incentive Plan, we may offer deferred shares or restricted shares of our common stock and grant options, including both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, to purchase shares of our common stock. Shares available for future stock-based payment awards under our Stock Incentive Plan were 1,645,414 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2019. We account for our stock-based compensation plans at fair value on the grant date, and recognize an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). Non-vested Stock From time to time, we issue shares of non-vested stock typically with vesting terms of three years. The following table summarizes our non-vested stock activity for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018: Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Non-vested stock at January 1, 2018 445,964 $ 19.70 Granted 143,121 $ 37.10 Vested (181,194 ) $ 20.53 Forfeited (28,332 ) $ 19.61 Non-vested stock at December 31, 2018 379,559 $ 25.87 Granted 194,192 $ 30.20 Vested (161,615 ) $ 23.79 Forfeited (34,396 ) $ 22.90 Non-vested stock at December 31, 2019 377,740 $ 29.26 As of December 31, 2019, we had unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $6.4 million related to non-vested stock award payments that we expect to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years. Stock compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $4.7 million, $4.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
Purchases of Company Common Stock	Purchases of Company Common Stock Purchases of our common stock are accounted for as treasury stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets using the cost method. Repurchased stock is included in authorized shares, but is not included in shares outstanding.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting We have five reportable segments. We derive our revenues from five principal business activities: (1) equipment rentals; (2) new equipment sales; (3) used equipment sales; (4) parts sales; and (5) repair and maintenance services. These segments are based upon how we allocate resources and assess performance. See note 18 to the consolidated financial statements regarding our segment information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This standard establishes an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which is intended to result in the more timely recognition of losses. Under the CECL model, entities will estimate credit losses over the entire contractual term of the instrument (considering estimated prepayments, but not expected extensions or modifications) from the date of initial recognition of the financial instrument. Measurement of expected credit losses are to be based on relevant forecasts that affect collectability. The scope of financial assets within the CECL methodology is broad and includes trade receivables from certain revenue transactions and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. Different components of the guidance require modified retrospective or prospective adoption. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the credit losses standard. Instead, entities would need to apply other U.S. GAAP, namely Topic 842 (Leases), to account for changes in the collectability assessment for operating leases. Other than operating lease receivables, our trade receivables include receivables from equipment sales, parts and service sales. Under Topic 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers), revenue is recognized when, among other criteria, it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for goods or services transferred to a customer. At the point that these trade receivables are recorded, they become subject to the CECL model and estimates of expected credit losses over their contractual life will be required to be recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which amends and clarifies several provisions of Topic 326. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief, which amends Topic 326 to allow the fair value option to be elected for certain financial instruments upon adoption. ASU 2016-13 became effective for us as of January 1, 2020. Based on our analysis of the new guidance, including the subsequent updates to Topic 326, we do not believe the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures or our existing internal controls because our accounts receivable are of short duration and there is not a material difference between incurred losses and expected losses . In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework," or ASU 2018-13. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but public companies will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, but entities were permitted to early adopt the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the requirements. We will adopt ASU 2018-13 when effective. Based on our evaluation of ASU 2018-13, the adoption of ASU 2018-13 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and footnotes. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2020, and generally requires prospective adoption. While we continue to evaluate the new guidance of ASU 2019-12, we currently do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Goodwill In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which removes Step 2 of the current goodwill impairment test, which was required if there was an indication that an impairment may exist, and the second step required calculating the potential impairment by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and then recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill. We adopted ASU 2017-04 effective October 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. Our adoption of the new guidance coincided with our annual impairment testing date, see our previous disclosures in Significant Accounting Policies related to goodwill. Internal-Use Software In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). This update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. Capitalized implementation costs related to a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, beginning when the module or component of the hosting arrangement is ready for its intended use. The guidance is effective for calendar-year public business entities in 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2018-15 effective October 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. Our adoption of the new guidance did not impact our consolidated financial statements. Leases We adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019. Topic 842 is an update to Topic 840, which was the lease accounting standard in effect through December 31, 2018. Topic 842 applies to us from both a lessor and a lessee perspective, as further described below. Lessor Accounting Our equipment rental business involves rental contracts with customers whereby we are the lessor in the transaction and therefore, we believe that such transactions are subject to Topic 842. We account for such rental contracts as operating leases pursuant to Topic 842, as well as pursuant to previous lease accounting guidance (Topic 840) in effect for periods prior to the effective date of Topic 842. In accordance with Topic 842, certain ancillary fees that we charge our equipment rental customers result in a different presentation within our consolidated statements of income compared to our historical presentation of those items under previous lease accounting guidance. Specifically, amounts we charge our customers for loss damage waiver fees, environmental fees, and fuel and other recovery fees, upon adoption of Topic 842, are to be included within our Equipment Rentals segment rather than included within non-segmented Other Revenues as we have historically presented those items under previous lease accounting guidance. Likewise, the related cost of revenues for these ancillary items under Topic 842 are to be presented within our Equipment Rentals segment rather than included in non-segmented Other Cost of Revenues as we have historically presented under previous lease accounting guidance. We adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 using the transition method that allowed us to initially apply Topic 842 as of January 1, 2019 and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. As such, Topic 842 will not be applied to periods prior to January 1, 2019. Therefore, the above changes as described are not reflected in our consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. While the above changes resulting from our adoption of Topic 842 do not impact total consolidated revenues or total consolidated gross profit, the change does impact the comparability of our total Rental Revenues gross profit and total Other Revenues gross profit and resulting gross margins for 2019 compared to our previously reported gross profit and resulting gross margins for periods prior to January 1, 2019. Lessee Accounting Topic 842 requires leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet. We adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective approach with an effective date as of the beginning of our fiscal year, January 1, 2019. Therefore, prior year financial statements were not recast under the new standard. We recognized an adjustment of less than $0.1 million to retained earnings upon adoption of Topic 842. We elected the package of transition provisions available for expired or existing leases, which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. We did not elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements. We elected not to apply the recognition requirements of Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 months or less. The adoption of Topic 842 had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet related to operating leases. Upon adoption of Topic 842, we recognized additional operating lease liabilities of $162.8 million. We also recognized net corresponding right-of-use operating lease assets of $160.6 million. Finance lease liabilities recognized upon adoption of Topic 842 were $0.8 million and finance right-of-use lease assets were $0.5 million. Topic 842 significantly expanded the disclosure requirements related to our leasing activities. Additional information and disclosures required by Topic 842 are presented in note 11 to these consolidated financial statements .
