Successful notes offering of $1.25 billion of new 8-year 3.875% senior notes. Proceeds were used primarily to repurchase or redeem our previously outstanding 5.6250% senior notes, to pay fees and expenses in connection with the offering and otherwise for general corporate purposes.

Brad Barber, H&E Equipment Services, Inc.’s chief executive officer, said, “Our fourth quarter performance reaffirmed our beliefs regarding the ongoing improvement in our business. Demand in our end-user rental markets remained good and physical utilization increased sequentially from the third quarter. Our distribution business also delivered better-than-expected results. We are encouraged with the current trends and visibility as we move into 2021.”

Barber added, “In terms of our financial highlights for the quarter, total revenues were down 9.3%, or $32.5 million, compared to a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 19.8%, or $25.2 million, from a year ago, and margins were down 420 basis points to 32.2%. While our revenues remain below pre-pandemic levels, we were pleased that the year-over-year declines improved. We also generated significant free cash flow again this quarter.”

Barber concluded, “With our successful upsized notes offering during the fourth quarter, our balance sheet is strong and will certainly support the acceleration of the growth initiatives we outlined last quarter. From an organic perspective, we are significantly increasing the number of warm starts across our footprint to improve our density in high-growth regions. Additional growth is expected from tuck-in acquisitions of general rental businesses. We are also focused on entering the specialty rental business with opportunities that would be synergistic with our current lines of business and fleet mix. Throughout our 60 years in business, we have always been about equipment solutions, strategically growing our product lines and the ability to serve an increasing base of customers. We are ramping up this commitment in 2021.”
