“Further rental rate improvement and strong execution of growth
initiatives led to another quarter of superb financial
achievement," noted Brad Barber, chief executive officer of
H&E. "Our second quarter results included records for rental
revenues, which increased 28.6% from the year-ago measure, and
gross profit. Rental rates were 7.1% better than the same quarter
in 2022, while improving 1.1% on a sequential quarterly basis.
Through the first six months of 2023, rental rates were up 8.2%
compared to the same period in 2022. Our rate performance, which
excludes One Source, remains among the best in the industry.
Physical utilization in the quarter reached 69.3%, 390 basis points
below the extraordinary measure of 73.2% recorded in the year-ago
quarter, while increasing 200 basis points on a sequential
quarterly basis. Dollar utilization of 40.6% in the quarter was
essentially unchanged from the year-ago measure, while improving
200 basis points from the first quarter of 2023. Finally, robust
revenues and gross margin in our used equipment sales underscore
the exceptional opportunities available for this segment of our
business.”
Continuing, Mr. Barber added, "We achieved substantial progress
in the quarter with business expansion initiatives focused on our
rental fleet and branch network. Gross capital investment in our
rental fleet totaled approximately $247 million, representing a
record quarterly outlay for the Company. At the close of the second
quarter, the size of our rental fleet, as measured by original
equipment cost ("OEC"), totaled approximately $2.6 billion, a 30%
increase when compared to our OEC on June 30, 2022. Also, we
continued our focus on branch expansion with the opening of six new
locations in the quarter. These locations, which improved our
branch density in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Gulf Coast, and
Intermountain regions, increased our branch count on June 30, 2023,
to 126 locations across 29 states, representing branch growth over
the last year of 19%.”
Mr. Barber closed with an encouraging assessment of the industry
and the Company's prospects for additional growth, stating,
"Resilient nonresidential construction demand through May 2023
resulted in a 17% improvement in year-over-year customer spending
growth, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. As a result, healthy
project backlogs remain in place, and we expect them to be
sustained through 2023, with positive implications for 2024. Also,
an increase in the number of large-scale projects serve as a likely
catalyst for further construction spending and expansion across the
equipment rental industry. Construction of these private and
federally funded projects, which include sizable manufacturing
installations and public infrastructure programs, are active
throughout our geographic footprint and represent a growing
component of our project mix. We expect the combination of strong
industry fundamentals and the stimulus from major projects to
produce solid business opportunities through the balance of 2023
and into 2024. As an indication of our confidence in the
continuation of this favorable industry environment, we have raised
our 2023 gross capital expenditures to a range of $600 million to
$650 million, up from a previous range of $500 million to $550
million. Also, we have raised our anticipated 2023 branch additions
to a range of 12 to 15 locations, up from 10 to 15 locations."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain non-GAAP measures (EBITDA,
and the disaggregation of equipment rental revenues and cost of
sales numbers) detailed below. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure as
defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC").
We use EBITDA in our business operations to, among other things,
evaluate the performance of our business, develop budgets and
measure our performance against those budgets. We also believe that
analysts and investors use EBITDA as supplemental measures to
evaluate a company’s overall operating performance. However, EBITDA
has material limitations as an analytical tool and you should not
consider the measure in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis
of our results as reported under GAAP. We consider EBITDA a useful
tool to assist us in evaluating performance because it eliminates
items related to components of our capital structure, taxes and
non-cash charges. The items that we have eliminated in determining
EBITDA for the periods presented are interest expense, income
taxes, depreciation of fixed assets (which includes rental
equipment and property and equipment) and amortization of
intangible assets. However, some of these eliminated items are
significant to our business. For example, (i) interest expense is a
necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue
because we incur a significant amount of interest expense related
to our outstanding indebtedness; (ii) payment of income taxes is a
necessary element of our costs; and (iii) depreciation is a
necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue
because rental equipment is the single largest component of our
total assets and we recognize a significant amount of depreciation
expense over the estimated useful life of this equipment. Any
measure that eliminates components of our capital structure and
costs associated with carrying significant amounts of fixed assets
on our consolidated balance sheet has material limitations as a
performance measure. In light of the foregoing limitations, we do
not rely solely on EBITDA as a performance measure and also
consider our GAAP results. EBITDA is not a measurement of our
financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly,
should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating
income or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
Because EBITDA may not be calculated in the same manner by all
companies, the measure may not be comparable to other similarly
titled measures used by other companies.
