CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding the performance of our business, liquidity, our expected tax rate and benefits and estimated payments under our tax receivable agreement, expected capital expenditures, anticipated future indebtedness or financings, our pending merger transaction with H&E Equipment Services Inc. and other non-historical statements. We use words such as "could," "may," "might," "will," "expect," "likely," "believe," "continue," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "project" and other similar expressions to identify some but not all forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve estimates and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the important factors described under the caption "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015,2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 8, 20166, 2017 (the “2015“2016 10-K”). as supplemented by the risks and uncertainties described in "Risk Factors" set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our industry experience and our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other important factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond our control) and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many important factors could affect our actual operating and financial performance and cause our performance to differ materially from the performance anticipated in the forward-looking statements. We believe these important factors include, but are not limited to, those described under the captions "Risk Factors" in our 2015 10-K.2016 10-K as supplemented by the risks and uncertainties described in "Risk Factors" set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of these assumptions prove incorrect, our actual operating and financial performance may vary in material respects from the performance projected in these forward-looking statements.

Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New important factors that could cause our business not to develop as we expect emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Neff Corporation (the "Company") was formed as a Delaware corporation on August 18, 2014. On November 26, 2014, Neff Corporation completed an initial public offering (the "IPO") of 10,476,190 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $15.00 per share. A portion of the gross proceeds received by Neff Corporation from the IPO were used to purchase common membership units ("Common Units") in Neff Holdings LLC ("Neff Holdings"), which was wholly owned by private investment funds managed by Wayzata Investment Partners ("Wayzata") prior to the IPO. We refer to these transactions as the “Organizational Transactions”. Neff Corporation's only business is to act as the sole managing member of Neff Holdings. As a result, Neff Corporation consolidates Neff Holdings for all periods presented (see Supplemental Unaudited Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements). Neff Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Neff Holdings and Neff Holdings' subsidiaries, Neff LLC and Neff Rental LLC, are referred to as the "Company".

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company considers critical accounting estimates to be those that require more significant judgments in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements including those related to depreciation, income taxes, self-insurance reserves, goodwill and intangible assets and amounts payable pursuant to the tax receivable agreement, as amended ("Tax Receivable Agreement") (Note 3). Management relies on historical experience and other assumptions, believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, in making its judgments and estimates. Actual results could differ from those judgments and estimates.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and trademarks and tradenames are reviewed at least annually for impairment. The Company conducts annual impairment tests on October 1 of each fiscal year or whenever an indicator of impairment exists. The customer list is amortized over its useful life (Note 5). The Company expenses costs to renew or extend the term of its recognized intangible assets.
Segment Reporting
The Company's operations consist of the rental and sale of equipment, and parts and services in five regions in the United States: Florida, Atlantic, Central, Southeastern and Western. The five regions are the Company's operating segments and are aggregated into one reportable segment because they rent similar products and have similar economic characteristics. The Company operates in the United States and had minimal international sales for each of the periods presented.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the "JOBS Act"), the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has irrevocably elected to avail itself of this exemption from adopting new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will not be subject to new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. There were no significant new accounting pronouncements that the Company adopted during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.

In February 2016,May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenues for Contracts with Customers(Topic 606), ("ASU 2014-09") which provides guidance on recognizing revenue. The guidance includes steps an entity should apply to achieve the core principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB has agreed to a one-year deferral of the original effective date of this guidance and as a result it will be effective for private companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The FASB's update allows entities to apply the new guidance as of the original effective date. The Company expects to adopt this guidance when effective for private companies and is currently evaluating the impact on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), ("ASU 2016-02") to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance is effective for private companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and requires application on a modified retrospective basis. The modified retrospective basis includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. The Company expects to adopt this guidance when effective for private companies and is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the Company's financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of Emerging Issues Task Force), ("ASU 2016-15") to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other topics. This guidance is effective for private companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and requires application on a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company expects to adopt this guidance when it becomes effective for private companies and does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

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 the step 2 requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This guidance is effective for public companies for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. As ASU 2017-04 will become effective after the expiration of the exemption period under the JOBS Act, the Company expects to adopt this guidance when it becomes effective for public companies. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, ("ASU 2015-03") which provides guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs. This guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction

Payable Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company recorded a liability of $31.0$29.6 million, representing the estimated payments due to Wayzata and certain members of management of Neff Holdings and certain non-executive members of its board of managers (collectively, the "Prior LLC Owners") under the Tax Receivable Agreement with the Prior LLC Owners as a result of the special allocation of depreciation and amortization deductions in excess of the pro rata share of such items. The liability as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 increased by $1.9$0.1 million from December 31, 2015,2016, due to changes in estimated future payments as a result of the tax benefit Neff Corporation will obtain as a result of the special allocation of gain, to Wayzata, resulting from the sale of equipment that existed at the date of the IPO, in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company expects these changes from the special allocation of gain will likely occur quarterly.

No amounts were paid pursuant to the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Payments are anticipated to be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement when Neff Corporation utilizes a benefit. The payments are to be made in accordance with the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Obligations pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, are obligations of Neff Corporation and are not obligations of Neff Holdings. TheyThe obligations do not impact the balance of the non-controlling interest. These obligations are not income tax obligations and have no impact on the tax provision or the allocation of taxes. In general, items of income, gain, loss and deduction are allocated on the basis of members' respective ownership interests pursuant to the Neff Holdings LLC agreement after taking into consideration all relevant sections of the Internal Revenue Code.

On March 24, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap (the "Interest Rate Swap"), effectively converting a portion of its variable rate debt into fixed rate debt. The Interest Rate Swap is not accounted for as a hedge and changes in fair value are included directly in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company adjusts the accrued swap asset or liability by the amount of the monthly net settlement as settlements are made. Under the terms of the Interest Rate Swap, a monthly net settlement is made on approximately the 8th of each month for the difference between the fixed rate (see the fixed rate schedule below) and the variable rate, based upon the one month LIBOR rate on the notional amount of the Interest Rate Swap. The Interest Rate Swap has a notional amount of $200.0 million through April 8, 2020.
The fixed rate follows the schedule below:
April 8, 2016 to April 9, 20171.1570%
April 10, 2017 to April 8, 20181.6810%
April 9, 2018 to April 7, 20191.9610%
April 8, 2019 to April 8, 20202.1430%

Item 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. In addition, the statements in this discussion and analysis regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding the performance of our business, our expected tax rate and benefits and estimated amounts payable pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, liquidity, expected capital expenditures, anticipated future indebtedness or financings and other non-historical statements are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in "Risk Factors" set forth in our 20152016 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016 as supplemented by the risks and uncertainties described in "Risk Factors" set forth in this quarterly report on From 10-Q. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are a leading regional equipment rental company in the United States, focused on the fast-growing Sunbelt states. We offer a broad array of equipment rental solutions for our diverse customer base, including infrastructure, non-residential construction, oil and gas, municipal and residential construction customers. Our broad fleet of equipment includes earthmoving, material handling, aerial and other related rental equipment, which we package together to meet the specific needs of our customers. We consider the earthmoving equipment category to be a core competency of our Company and a key differentiator of our business.
Our revenues are affected primarily by the time utilization of the equipment in our rental fleet, the rental rates we can charge for that equipment and the amount of equipment we have in our fleet available for rent. See "—Key Performance Measures" for definitions of time utilization and rental rates. We generate revenues from the following three sources:
Rental revenues—this consists of rental revenues and related revenues such as the fees we charge for the pickup and delivery of equipment, damage waivers and other surcharges.
Equipment sales—this consists primarily of revenues from the sale of our used rental equipment and also includes sales of ancillary new equipment to our customers.
Parts and service—this includes revenues from customers for fuel and the repair of damaged rental equipment as well as from the sale of complementary parts, supplies and merchandise to our customers in conjunction with our equipment rental business.
Seasonality and Other External Factors That Affect Our Business
Our operating results are subject to annual and seasonal fluctuations resulting from a variety of factors, including:
the seasonality of rental activity by our customers, with lower activity levels during the winter;
the cyclicality of the construction industry;
the number of our significant competitors and the competitive supply of rental equipment;
general economic conditions; and
the price of oil and other commodities and other general economic trends impacting the industries in which our customers and end users operate.
In addition, our operating results may be affected by severe weather events and seismic conditions (such as hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding and earthquakes) in the regions we serve. Severe weather events can result in short-term reductions in construction activity levels, but after these periods of reduced construction activity, repair and reconstruction efforts have historically resulted in periods of increased demand for rental equipment.
Financial Highlights
For the past several years, we have executed a strategy focused on improving the profitability of our core rental business through revenue growth, a focus on operating leverage and margin expansion. In particular, we have focused on maximizing returns from improving construction activity in the markets we operate in by increasing rental revenues and by increasing the amount of rental equipment in our existing network of 6869 branch locations. While ourOur net income decreased 16.5%increased to $22.9$18.6 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year, our2017. Our Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) increased 5.2%4.5% to $143.9$96.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 as compared to the prior year.

"EBITDA" is defined as net income plus interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation of rental equipment and other depreciation and amortization and amortization of debt issue costs.amortization. "Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to give effect to other items that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operations, including for the periods presented rental split expense, equity-based compensation, adjustment to tax receivable agreement and (gain) loss on interest rate swap. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance in accordance with US GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating cash flows determined in accordance with US GAAP. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of cash flow for management's discretionary use, as they exclude certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. We believe that the inclusion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q is appropriate because securities analysts, investors and other interested parties use these non-US GAAP financial measures as important measures of assessing our operating performance across periods on a consistent basis. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under US GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
they do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
they do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary, to service interest or principal payments on our significant amount of indebtedness; and
they do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operations but may nonetheless have a material impact on our results of operations.

In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including companies in our industry.

Company Structure
Neff Corporation was formed as a Delaware corporation on August 18, 2014. On November 26, 2014, Neff Corporation completed an IPO of 10,476,190 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $15.00 per share. A portion of the
Table of contents



gross proceeds received by Neff Corporation from the IPO were used to purchase Common Units in Neff Holdings which was wholly owned by private investment funds managed by Wayzata prior to the IPO. In November 2015, the Company's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may purchase shares of its Class A common stock. Under thea share repurchase program, the Company may acquire up to $25 million of shares of Class A common stock in open market and privately negotiated purchases from time to time, dependent upon market conditions. Since the authorization of the share repurchase program, the Company has purchased 1.61.7 million shares of Class A common stock for a total cost of $11.3$11.8 million, including commissions. As of June 30, 2017, the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding was 8,892,798.

The historical results of operations discussed in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" includes the consolidated results of the Company.
Neff Corporation, is the sole managing member of Neff Holdings and owns Common Units of Neff Holdings representing a 37.3% equity interest in Neff Holdings, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. As the sole managing member of Neff Holdings, we control its business and affairs and, therefore, we consolidate its financial results with ours.

Wayzata retains Common Units in Neff Holdings representing a collective 62.7% economic interest and a non-controlling interest in Neff Holdings, and we reflect Wayzata's collective economic interest as a non-controlling interest in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result, net income attributable to us, after excluding the non-controlling interest of Wayzata, represents 37.3% of Neff Holdings' net income and our only material asset is our corresponding 37.3% economic interest and controlling interest in Neff Holdings. Neff Corporation is a holding company that conducts no operations and, as of the consummation of the IPO, its only material asset is the equity interests of its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Neff Holdings has historically been and will continue to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to any entity-level U.S. federal income tax. Rather, taxable income or loss is included in the respective U.S. federal income tax returns of Neff Holdings' members. Neff Corporation will be subject to income taxes as follows:
Provision For (Benefit From) Income Tax—We are a taxpayer subject to income taxes at rates generally applicable to C corporations, and therefore our results of operations are affected by the amount of accruals for tax benefits or payments that Neff Holdings (as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) historically has not reflected in its results of operations. Our combined statutory federal and state income tax rate for all periods presented in this Form 10-Q is approximately 39.0%.

Potential Tax Benefit Due to Special Allocations in connection with the IPO and Future Step-up In Basis—As a result of the Organizational Transactions and pursuant to U.S. Treasury regulations governing the purchase of an equity interest in a partnership (including a limited liability company such as Neff Holdings that is taxed as a partnership) at a time when the assets of the partnership have a fair market value in excess of the tax basis, our purchase of Neff Holdings' Common Units directly from Neff Holdings with a portion of the proceeds from the IPO resulted in certain special allocations of Neff Holdings' items of loss or deduction to us over time that are in excess of our pro rata share of such items of loss or deduction pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. The principles of Section 704(c) may also serve to allocate items of income or gain to Wayzata as a result of subsequent dispositions of assets to take into account the difference between the fair market value and basis difference at the time of the Organizational Transactions. We may obtain an increase in our share of the tax basis of the assets of Neff Holdings in the future, when each Prior LLC Owner receives shares of our Class A common stock or cash at our election in connection with an exercise of such Prior LLC Owner's right to have Common Units in Neff Holdings held by such Prior LLC Owner redeemed by Neff Holdings or, at the election of Neff Corporation, exchanged (which we intend to treat as our direct purchase of Common Units from such Prior LLC Owner for U.S. federal income and other applicable tax purposes, regardless of whether such Common Units are surrendered by a Prior LLC Owner to Neff Holdings for redemption or sold to us upon the exercise of our election to acquire such Common Units directly). The special allocations and step-up in tax basis described above may result in a reduction in the amount of taxes that we are required to pay relative to the amount of taxes payable by other members of Neff Holdings who are similarly situated but who do not receive a similar step-up in basis or special allocations.

Tax Receivable Agreement—Under the Tax Receivable Agreement with our Prior LLC Owners, we are obligated to pay to our Prior LLC Owners 85.0% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that we actually realize (or in some circumstances are deemed to realize) as a result of the step-up in basis and special allocations discussed above. We account for the
Table of contents



effects of these increases in tax basis and associated payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement arising from future redemptions or exchanges as follows:

we will record a change in the deferred tax accounts for the estimated income tax effects of the increases in tax basis based on enacted federal and state tax rates at the date of the redemption or exchange;
Table of contents



to the extent we estimate that we will not realize the full benefit of a resulting deferred tax asset, based on an analysis that will consider, among other things, our expectation of future earnings, we will reduce the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance; and
we will record 85.0% of the estimated realizable tax benefit as an increase to the liability associated with the future payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement and the remaining 15.0% of the estimated realizable tax benefit as an increase to additional paid-in capital.
All of the effects of changes in any of our estimates after the date of the exchange will be included in net income (loss) for the period in which those changes occur. Similarly, the effect of subsequent changes in the enacted tax rates will be included in net income (loss) for the period in which the change occurs.

Key Performance Measures
From time to time, we use certain key performance measures in evaluating our business and results of operations and we may refer to one or more of these key performance measures in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." These key performance measures, in addition to Adjusted EBITDA, include:
OEC—we present OEC, defined as the first cost of acquiring the equipment ("OEC"), or in the case of used equipment purchases and rental splits, an estimate of the first cost that would have been paid to acquire the equipment if it had been purchased new in its year of manufacture.
Rental rates—we define rental rates as the rates charged to our customers on rental contracts that typically are for a daily, weekly or monthly term. Rental rates change over time based on a combination of pricing, the mix of equipment on rent and the mix of rental terms with customers. Period over period changes in rental rates are calculated on a weighted average with the weighting based on prior period revenue mix.
Time utilization—we define time utilization as the daily average OEC of equipment on rent, divided by the OEC of all equipment in the rental fleet during the relevant period.
Recent Developments

On July 14, 2017, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with H&E Equipment Services, Inc. (“H&E”) and  Yellow Iron Merger Co, a wholly-owned subsidiary of H&E (the “Merger Sub”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub will be merged with and into Neff Corporation with Neff Corporation continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of H&E (the “Merger”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which has been unanimously approved by our board of directors and the board of directors of H&E, H&E will pay $21.07 in cash per share of our Class A Common Stock, for a total enterprise value of approximately $1.2 billion, including approximately $690 million of net debt. The per share merger consideration payable to our stockholders is subject to certain downward adjustments, not to exceed $0.44 per share, in the event that H&E incurs certain increased financing costs due to the transaction not being consummated on or prior to January 14, 2018. Holders of vested stock options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock shall receive an amount of cash equal to the product of the merger consideration minus the per share exercise price multiplied by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock subject to such stock option. Holders of vested restricted stock unit awards shall receive an amount of cash equal to the product of the merger consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Class A Common Stock with respect to which such restricted stock unit award was vested. Holders of unvested stock options shall receive a substitute stock option to purchase H&E common stock as set forth in the Merger Agreement. Holders of unvested restricted stock unit awards shall receive time-vesting restricted stock unit awards of H&E common stock as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger is subject to a go-shop period that will expire on 11:59 p.m. on August 20, 2017 during which we have the right to solicit, encourage or facilitate any inquiry or the making of any alternative acquisition proposal. The Merger is expected to close in the late third quarter or early fourth quarter of 2017, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended ("HSR"). The Merger Agreement contains certain customary termination rights, including that each of H&E and Neff Corporation has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement after January 14, 2018 if the Merger has not been consummated provided that if all of the conditions to closing have been satisfied other than having obtained HSR clearance, each of H&A and Neff Corporation may extend such outside date to April 10, 2018. In the event that we terminate the Merger Agreement in accordance with the go-shop provision described above to enter into a definitive agreement for a superior proposal, we will be required to pay H&E a cash termination fee in the amount of $13,165,000. In the event that we terminate the Merger Agreement under certain other specified circumstances, we will be required to pay H&E a cash termination fee in the amount of $18,430,000.

Table of contents



In connection with the transaction, Wayzata Opportunities Fund II, L.P. and Wayzata Opportunities Fund Offshore II, L.P. (collectively, the “Key Holders”), the beneficial owners of 14,951,625 shares of the Class B Common Stock, entered into a support agreement with H&E pursuant to which the Key Holders agreed to vote all of their shares of Company common stock against any action or agreement that is intended to prevent, interfere with, impair or delay the Merger but they are permitted to engage in go-shop activities to the extent those activities are permitted by us under the agreement. Additionally, the Key Holders entered into an exchange and termination agreement with Neff Corporation, H&E and Neff Holdings and the holders of options convertible into LLC units of Neff Holdings entered into an exchange and termination agreement with Neff Corporation, H&E, Neff Holdings and the management representative (as defined in the exchange and termination agreement) pursuant to which the Tax Receivable Agreement will be terminated immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger without any payment by us. Pursuant to the exchange and termination agreements, immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Key Holders will receive shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for the number of LLC units of Neff Holdings they own on a one-for-one basis and their shares of Class B Common Stock will be cancelled, and the holders of options convertible into LLC units of Neff Holdings will have their LLC options converted on a cashless basis into LLC units and the LLC units will be exchanged for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.

On July 14, 2017, the Key Holders representing 62.7% of our outstanding common stock at such time executed a written consent adopting the Merger Agreement and approving the Merger. The written consent will terminate in the event that the support agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. No further approval of our stockholders is required to adopt the Merger Agreement or approve the Merger. On July 25, 2017, we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a preliminary information statement describing the Merger Agreement and Merger transaction. When completed, a final information statement will be mailed to our stockholders.

Results of Operations
The following summary highlights the key elements of certain line items discussed further below in the period-over-period analysis of our results of operations:
Total Revenues:
Rental Revenues:  relates primarily to revenues received from customers under leases for our rental equipment and includes related revenues such as the fees we charge for the pickup and delivery of equipment, damage waivers and other surcharges.
Equipment Sales:  relates primarily to revenues received from third parties upon the sale of used equipment from our rental fleet, which generally increases in the winter months when customer activity and time utilization are comparatively lower. To a much lesser extent, this line item also includes revenues received upon the sale to customers of ancillary new equipment.
Parts and Service:  relates primarily to revenues received from sales of complementary parts, supplies and merchandise in conjunction with our equipment rental business, as well as from services provided to repair rental equipment damaged by customers, which is billable to our customers, and fuel costs charged to customers.
Cost of Equipment Sold:  relates primarily to the net book value of our used rental fleet that is sold in the ordinary course of our active fleet management. To a much lesser extent, this line item also includes the net book value of ancillary new equipment that is sold.
Table of contents



Depreciation of Rental Equipment:  relates to the depreciation of the cost of equipment in our rental fleet and is generally calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated service life of the asset (generally two to eight years with a 10% to 20% residual value).
Cost of Rental Revenues:  relates primarily to the delivery and retrieval of rental equipment (including fuel), maintenance and repairs to our rental equipment fleet (including parts), and labor costs and related payroll expenses (such as insurance, benefits and overtime) for drivers and mechanics. This line item also includes the portion of rental revenues paid over to Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs") under rental splits (described below) that we may have in place from time to time.
Cost of Parts and Service:  relates primarily to costs attributable to the sale of parts and fuel directly to customers and service provided for the maintenance and repair of our equipment damaged by customers, which is billable to our customers.
Table of contents



Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:  relates primarily to general selling, general overhead and administrative costs such as branch management and sales, accounting, finance, legal and marketing expenses. This line item also includes payments under leases for our headquarters and branch locations, expenses associated with software licenses, property taxes payable on our rental equipment and payroll, sales commission, bonus and benefits expenses allocable to executive, regional and branch management. This line item also includes provisions for bad debt expense and any ordinary course litigation expense.
Other Depreciation and Amortization:  relates primarily to depreciation of non-rental property, plant and equipment, such as trucks and trailers used to transport rental equipment as well as office equipment and amortization of intangibles such as customer lists.
Interest Expense:  relates primarily to interest expense incurred in connection with our long-term debt facilities and the amortization of the related original issue discount, in each case for the periods in which those debt obligations were outstanding.
We utilize rental splits in our operations. Rental splits are a consignment arrangement of new equipment by OEMs in which we hold their equipment in our rental fleet for a period of time (typically between three and 12 months) and agree to share with the OEM a percentage of the rental revenue we receive on the rental of that unit. We do not take title to the unit under this arrangement and we can return the unit to the OEM at any time, at no additional cost to us. We also can elect to purchase the unit from the OEM from time to time. The revenue we pay to the OEM under rental splits is expensed in cost of rental revenues on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, but added back to Adjusted EBITDA in order to maintain comparability to our results from period to period. If we exercise the option to purchase the unit, the unit becomes part of our rental fleet and is depreciated, with depreciation added back to Adjusted EBITDA. Before we exercise the option to purchase a unit, we count the unit as part of our rental fleet for OEC calculations but do not depreciate the unit.

Amortization of Debt Issue Costs.    Amortization of debt issue costs remained relatively consistent at $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our principal needs for liquidity historically have been for the purchase of rental fleet, other capital expenditures, including delivery vehicles, funding startup costs for new branch locations and debt service. These will be our principal liquidity needs going forward, in addition to potential payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement potential cash payments made at our election to the Prior LLC Owners for the redemption of Common Units for Class A common stock and any share repurchases we make in the future under our share repurchase program.
Our largest use of liquidity has been and will continue to be for the acquisition of equipment for our rental fleet. Our large rental fleet requires a substantial ongoing commitment of capital. While we can manage the size and aging of our fleet generally over time, eventually we must retire older equipment and either allow our fleet to shrink or replace the older equipment in our fleet with newer models. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, our net rental fleet capital expenditures totaled approximately $91.2$49.0 million and $120.4$66.5 million, respectively. We have historically financed these net additions to our rental fleet using cash flow from operations and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and we expect that to continue in the future.
We also use our liquidity to finance other non-rental equipment capital expenditures, typically consisting of delivery vehicles, property, plant and equipment and funding startup costs for new branch locations. The liquidity required to open a new branch location typically ranges from $5.0 million to $10.0 million, the majority of which consists of acquisitions of rental fleet for the new branch location.
For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, our net purchases of property and equipment totaled approximately $10.1$7.1 million and $11.7$8.6 million, respectively. We have historically financed these net other non-rental capital expenditures using cash flow from operations and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and we expect that to continue in the future.
In November 2015, the Company's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may purchase shares of its Class A common stock. Under the share repurchase program, the Company may acquire up to $25 million of shares of Class A common stock in open market and privately negotiated purchases from time to time, dependent upon market conditions. Since the authorization of the share repurchase program, the Company has purchased 1.61.7 million shares of Class A common stock for a total cost of $11.3$11.8 million, including commissions. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company did not repurchase any shares of Class A common stock.
We may use liquidity going forward to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we did not make any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We expect any eventual payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement could vary depending on a number of factors.factors (see Tax Receivable Agreement under the Company Structure and Effects of the Organizational Transactions in the "Management's Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"). 
  
As of December 31, 2015,2016, our total leverage ratio was 3.90.3.60 to 1.00. Under the terms of the Second Lien Loan, if the total leverage ratio is equal to or less than 4.00 to 1.00 but greater than 3.00 to 1.00 at the end of each fiscal year, we must make a mandatory prepayment equal to 25% of our excess cash flow. A mandatory prepayment of $3.3$11.8 million was made during March 2017 for the year ended December 31, 2015,2016. A mandatory prepayment of $3.3 million was made during March 2016.2016 for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company will determine whether any mandatory prepayments need to be made for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016,2017, after year end. Other than mandatory prepayments under the terms of our Second Lien Loan as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we are not required to make principal payments prior to the stated maturity of June 9, 2021. We expect to satisfy our debt service going forward, which will consist primarily of interest payments and mandatory prepayments under the current terms of the Second Lien Loan, out of cash flow from operations.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $111.0$68.3 million of cash generated from operations, $0.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and availability of $210.7$244.8 million under our Revolving Credit Facility subject(subject to customary borrowing conditions.conditions). We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months; however, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. The borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility will depend on the amount of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit issued and will also depend on us remaining in compliance with the covenants under our Revolving Credit Facility and Second Lien Loan. We were in compliance with the covenants under our Revolving Credit Facility and Second Lien Loan as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.

We may from time to time seek to repurchase our Class A common stock or retire or repurchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges of equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender

offers or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

To the extent we require additional liquidity, we anticipate that it will be funded through the incurrence of other indebtedness (which may include capital markets indebtedness, the incremental facility under the credit agreement for the Second Lien Loan or indebtedness under other credit facilities), equity financings or a combination thereof; however, there can be no assurance that thiswe will be the case.able to fund such additional liquidity needs on commercially acceptable terms or at all. Although we have no specific current plans to do so, if we decide to pursue one or more significant acquisitions, we may incur additional debt or sell additional equity to finance such acquisitions.

Cash Flows for the NineSix Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 20152016

Net cash provided by operating activities was $111.0$68.3 million as compared to $99.7$73.5 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015.2016. Net income of $22.9$18.6 million when adjusted by various non-cash items, such as depreciation of $49.0 million, the gain on sale of equipment of $6.1$4.6 million, unrealized lossgain on interest rate swap of $4.8 million, adjustment to the tax receivable agreement of $1.9 million and depreciation of $73.5$0.3 million, resulted in net cash provided by operating activities of $111.0$68.3 million.
Net cash used in investing activities was $101.3$56.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 as compared to $132.2$75.2 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015.2016. Cash used for the purchase of rental equipment was $107.5$62.5 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, compared to $139.0$76.6 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015.2016. We received $16.3$13.5 million in cash proceeds from the sale of equipment for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 compared to $18.5$10.0 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015.2016.
Net cash (used in) provided byused in financing activities was $9.1$12.2 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, compared to $32.5$1.6 million provided by financing activities for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015.2016. The decrease in cash from financing activities was primarily due to additional debt issue costs for the Revolving Credit Facility amendment, repurchases of Class A common stock made during the nine months ended September 30, 2016,an increase in the Second Lien Loan prepayment and a decrease ofcompared to the prepayment made in the prior year as well as net borrowings underrepayments made to the Revolving Credit Facility as compared to net borrowings in prior year.

Revolving Credit Facility
On October 1, 2010, certain of our subsidiaries entered into the Revolving Credit Facility with a syndicate of banks and financial institutions including Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC as the co-collateral agents. Bank of America, N.A. is the agent, swing-line lender and letter of credit issuer. The Revolving Credit Facility was amended and restated on November 20, 2013, amended on June 9, 2014 as part of a refinancing and further amended and restated on February 25, 2016.
The Revolving Credit Facility provides $475.0 million in commitments for revolving borrowings, including a $30.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit, and a $42.5 million sublimit for swing-line loans, subject to certain availability conditions. The aggregate amount of all borrowings available to us under the Revolving Credit Facility is the lesser of the aggregate commitments and the "borrowing base", which is a formula that applies certain advance rates against our eligible accounts receivable and our eligible rental equipment and, as a result of which, could result in us not being able to borrow all of the available commitments at any given time. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility was $475.0$452.9 million. As of June 30, 2017, we had $226.1 million in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility before an offset of $3.5 million. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on February 25, 2021. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, at either a LIBOR rate or base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. LIBOR loans bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus (a) 200 basis points if the average availability for the period is less than $125.0 million, (b) 175 basis points if the average availability for the period is equal to or greater than $125.0 million but less than $225.0 million or (c) 150 basis points if the average availability for the period is greater than $225.0 million. The base rate loans bear interest at the sum of (a) (i) 100 basis points if the average availability for the period is less than $125.0 million, (ii) 75 basis points if the average availability for the period is equal to or greater than $125.0 million but less than $225.0 million or (iii) 50 basis points if the average availability for the period is greater than $225.0 million plus (b) the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and (iii) LIBOR plus 100 basis points. The applicable margin for LIBOR loans and base rate loans will be subject to quarterly performance pricing adjustments based on our average availability and our consolidated total leverage ratio under the Revolving Credit Facility for the most recently completed quarter. The Revolving Credit Facility provides for the payment to the lenders of an unused line fee of 0.375% if less than 50% of the daily average unused portion under the Revolving Credit Facility is utilized and 0.250% if 50% or more is utilized. The unused line fee is payable on the daily average unused portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility (whether or not then available).
Neff Holdings and each of its subsidiaries is a borrower or a credit party under the Revolving Credit Facility. Neff Corporation is not a party to the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the borrower and the guarantors. The credit agreement for the Revolving Credit Facility contains customary restrictive covenants applicable to each credit party, including, among others, restrictions on the ability to incur additional

financial covenants, applicable at any time excess availability is less than the greater of $35.0 million and 10% of the aggregate commitments of all lenders, or $47.5 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, which require us to maintain (i) a consolidated total leverage ratio of not more than 5.00 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ended during the period from February 25, 2016 through and including December 31, 2016, stepping down to 4.75 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ended during the period from January 1, 2017 through and including December 31, 2017, stepping down to 4.50 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter ended during the period from January 1, 2018 and thereafter, and (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.00 to 1.00, in each case, until such time as excess availability exceeds the threshold described above for a period of at least 30 consecutive days. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we had availability based on our borrowing base as of such date under the Revolving Credit Facility of $210.7$244.8 million and were in compliance with the applicable covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility.
Second Lien Loan
Our subsidiary, Neff Rental LLC, incurred the Second Lien Loan under a senior secured credit facility with Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders and agents thereto, on June 9, 2014. The credit agreement for the Second Lien Loan provides for (a) a $575.0 million term loan facility, all of which was drawn on June 9, 2014, and (b) an uncommitted incremental term loan facility not to exceed (together with any incremental equivalent debt) $75.0 million plus additional amounts that may be incurred subject to a pro forma total leverage ratio of 5.25:1.00 and certain other customary conditions. The Second Lien Loan matures on June 9, 2021. The Second Lien Loan bears interest, at our option, at either a LIBOR rate or base rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. LIBOR loans bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 625 basis points and base rate loans bear interest at the sum of (a) 525 basis points plus (b) the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and (iii) LIBOR plus 100 basis points. The LIBOR rate margin is subject to a "floor" of 100 basis points. We generally elect the LIBOR rate, and given that LIBOR currently is less than 1.00%, our interest rate as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 under the Second Lien Loan was 7.25%7.66% per annum. We must make mandatory prepayments of principal on the Second Lien Loan if our total leverage ratio for any fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, exceeds 3.00 to 1.00. These prepayment provisions require us to prepay an amount equal to (i) either 25% of our excess cash flow (if our total leverage ratio is equal to or less than 4.00 to 1.00 but greater than 3.00 to 1.00) or 50% of our excess cash flow (if our total leverage ratio is greater than 4.00 to 1.00) over (ii) the optional prepayment amount for such excess cash flow period. Additionally, we must make mandatory prepayments of principal on the Second Lien Loan if we receive net cash proceeds from asset sales (as defined in the Second Lien Loan) or the issuance or incurrence of indebtedness (except for permitted refinancing debt as defined in the Second Lien Loan). We prepaid $96.0 million of the principal amount of the Second Lien Loan with the net proceeds from the IPO on November 26, 2014 and paid approximately $1.9 million in prepayment premiums in connection with that prepayment. On March 17, 2016, we paid a mandatory prepayment of $3.3 million, equal to 25% of our excess cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2015. On March 13, 2017, we paid a mandatory prepayment of $11.8 million, equal to 25% of our excess cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2017, the balance outstanding on the Second Lien Loan was $457.6 million, net of unamortized original issue discount of $4.6 million and unamortized discount of $1.6 million.
Neff Holdings and each of its subsidiaries is a borrower or a credit party under the Second Lien Loan. Neff Corporation is not a party to the Second Lien Loan. The Second Lien Loan is secured by second-priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the borrower and the guarantors. The credit agreement for the Second Lien Loan contains customary incurrence-based restrictive covenants applicable to each credit party, including, among other things, restrictions on the ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments and declare or pay dividends.
We have entered into an amendment to our Second Lien Loan to, among other things, reflect the changes in our structure as a result of the Organizational Transactions. We prepaid $96.0 million of the principal amount of the Second Lien Loan with the net proceeds from the IPO on November 26, 2014 and paid approximately $1.9 million in prepayment premiums in connection with that prepayment. On March 17, 2016, we paid a mandatory prepayment of $3.3 million, equal to 25% of our excess cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2015. As of September 30, 2016, the balance outstanding on the Second Lien Loan was $473.8 million, net of unamortized original issue discount of $1.8 million.
Certain Information Concerning Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities referred to as structured finance or variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we are not involved in any variable interest entities transactions and do not otherwise have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
In the normal course of our business activities, we lease real estate for our headquarters and branch locations and we may from time to time lease rental equipment and non-rental equipment under operating leases. See "—Contractual and Commercial Commitments."



Contractual and Commercial Commitments
There have been no material changes from the information included in our 20152016 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016 regarding contractual and commercial commitments.






Inflation
Although we cannot accurately anticipate the effect of inflation on our operations, we believe that inflation has not had and is not likely in the foreseeable future to have, a material impact on our results of operations.



Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates are disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our 20152016 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015,2016, for which there were no material changes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for recently issued accounting pronouncements applicable to us and the effect of those standards on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Item 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk
We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with our long-term indebtedness. Our principal interest rate exposure relates to loans outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and Second Lien Loan. All outstanding indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility and Second Lien Loan (subject to LIBOR floor) bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR. Each quarter point change in interest rates on the variable portion of indebtedness under our Revolving Credit Facility and Second Lien Loan would result in a change of $0.7$0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, to our interest expense on an annual basis based on borrowings outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.

The variable nature of our obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility and Second Lien Loan creates interest rate risk. In order to mitigate this risk, in March 2015, we entered into the Interest Rate Swap in the notional amount of $200.0 million, to hedge theeffectively converting a portion of our variable rate debt into fixed rate debt on the Revolving Credit Facility for the period between April 8, 2015 and April 8, 2020.

All transactions in derivative financial instruments are authorized and executed pursuant to regularly reviewed policies and procedures, which prohibit the use of derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Item 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits



under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.




Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.




PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are party to various litigation matters in the ordinary course of our business. We cannot estimate with certainty our ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to our pending litigation matters. However, we believe, based on our examination of such matters, that our ultimate liability with respect to these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A.    RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes inItem 1A of Part I of our risk factors since filing our 20152016 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016 includes a detailed discussion of the risk factors that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future prospects. The information below updates and supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors in our 2016 Form 10-K

Risks Related to the Merger
There can be no assurance that the proposed Merger with H&E will be consummated. The announcement and pendency of the Merger, or the failure of the Merger to be consummated, could have an adverse effect on our stock price, business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
On July 14, 2017, we entered into the Merger Agreement with H&E and Merger Sub pursuant to which H&E will acquire Neff Corporation. The Merger is subject to a number of conditions to closing, including (i) no temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other law or order shall have been issued (and remain in effect) by a court or other governmental entity having the effect of making the Merger illegal, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. If any of these closing conditions or the other closing conditions are not met or waived, we will not be able to complete the Merger. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Merger will be completed in a timely manner or at all.
Further, the announcement and pendency of the Merger could disrupt our businesses, in any of the following ways, among others:
our employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company, which might adversely affect our ability to retain and hire key managers and other employees;

the attention of our management may be directed toward the completion of the Merger and transaction-related considerations and may be diverted from our day-to-day business operations; and

customers, suppliers or others may seek to modify or terminate their business relationships with us.
We may face additional challenges in competing for new business and retaining or renewing business. These disruptions could be exacerbated by a delay in the completion of the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement.
For the foregoing reasons, there can be no assurance that the announcement and pendency of the Merger, or the failure of the Merger to be consummated, will not have an adverse effect on our stock price, business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities.
While the Merger Agreement is in effect, we are subject to restrictions on our business activities and must generally operate our business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice (subject to certain exceptions). These restrictions could prevent us from pursuing attractive business opportunities that arise prior to the completion of the Merger and are generally outside the ordinary course of business, and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations or financial condition.




The Merger Agreement limits our ability to pursue an alternative acquisition proposal and requires us to pay a termination fee, if it does.
The Merger Agreement provides us with a go-shop period that will expire on 11:59 p.m. on August 20, 2017 during which we have the right to solicit, encourage or facilitate any inquiry or the making of any alternative acquisition proposal. In the event that the Company terminates the Merger Agreement in accordance with the go-shop provision to enter into a definitive agreement for a superior proposal, we will be required to pay H&E a cash termination fee in the amount of $13,165,000. In the event that we terminate the Merger Agreement under certain other specified circumstances, we will be required to pay H&E a cash termination fee in the amount of $18,430,000.
