Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On February 28, 2014, we issued a press release announcing our financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

The information in this Form 8-K and the attached exhibit shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2012 as EBITDA adjusted for the loss from early extinguishment of debt incurred in the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share for the year ended December 31, 2012 as Net Income and Net Income per Share, adjusted for the loss from early extinguishment of debt, net of income taxes, incurred in the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.

We use EBITDA and Adjusted 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 and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures to evaluate a company’s overall operating performance. However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have material limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We consider them useful tools to assist us in evaluating performance because they eliminate items related to 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 and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, the loss from early extinguishment of debt incurred in the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. 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 and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures and also consider our GAAP results. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss), operating income (loss) or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We use Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share, in our business operations to, among other things, analyze our financial performance on a comparative period basis without the effects of significant one-time, non-recurring items. However, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP Net Income and Net Income per Share. Because Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

“Our fourth quarter performance demonstrated the across the board strength and momentum that continued in our business,” said John Engquist, H&E Equipment Services’ chief executive officer. “Demand for rental equipment was strong in the fourth quarter, driving higher consolidated margins and strong utilization even while operating a significantly larger fleet. Our combined distribution business remained solid as well, despite a lower level of year-end buying of certain new cranes from a year ago, which we believe was the result of reduced year-end tax incentives. We see our continued focus on leveraging the increasing demand in our end user markets and our operational efficiency reflected in our financial results for the quarter, with income from operations and EBITDA increasing 18.6% and 17.5%, respectively, against the prior year quarter.”

Engquist concluded, “We believe 2013 was a year of success and our outlook for 2014 is also positive as we believe there will be significant recovery in non-residential construction over the next several years. We feel there is reason to be optimistic regarding the outlook for our rental business given the demand we are currently experiencing. From our perspective, end-user demand for new and used equipment remains high and we expect this trend to continue based on current activity levels. We are increasing our fleet size to accommodate this anticipated growth. We also expect to benefit from the industrial markets we serve, particularly along the Gulf Coast, where we see the petrochemical, oil patch, refining, manufacturing and other related industries operating at high capacity levels. It is being reported that capital spending scheduled to begin in 2014 relating to these industries, particularly in our Louisiana and Texas markets, may hit historically high levels. We believe overall market conditions are encouraging and we will continue to focus on solid execution and improving our market position to capitalize on all of these positive trends in 2014.”
