Forward guidance
Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, we anticipate returns in supply chain and dedicated to moderate, reflecting seasonality and lower COVID-related activity, and to be within their target ranges for the full year.
Tailwinds
- In rental, we expect return improvements to accelerate in the fourth quarter due to higher demand and improved utilization.
- In lease, we expect the fleet to continue to decline; however, pricing is expected to be higher reflecting our pricing initiative.
- We anticipate record free cash flow of $1.4 to $1.5 billion in 2020, significantly above the prior year negative free cash flow of $(1.1) billion.
- Additionally, in the fourth quarter we expect to resume our anti-dilutive share repurchase program which was temporarily paused due to COVID-19.
- In the fourth quarter, we will be awarding our front-line employees a special recognition and retention bonus for their extraordinary efforts as essential workers during this pandemic, resulting in a one-time expense of approximately $30 million.
