In the second half of 2014, we established business priorities that focused on rightsizing the fleet and increasing the top line by improving sales capacity, said Brian MacDonald, president and CEO of HERC. By year end, U.S. revenue growth had rebounded, trending slightly above industry levels, and outpaced fleet growth. Unfortunately at the same time, weakening demand in Canada persisted.

While we see risk to oil and gas this year, we are managing through the volatility and are moderating our revenue growth forecasts accordingly, added MacDonald.
