“Industry fundamentals in the third quarter continued to trail year-ago measures,” said Brad Barber, chief executive officer of H&E Rentals. “Physical fleet utilization averaged 67.6%, or 240 basis points below the third quarter of 2023, evidence of the lower customer demand and a lingering modest oversupply of equipment. On a sequential quarterly basis, utilization improved 120 basis points. In addition, rental rates declined 0.1% compared to the prior-year quarter and were down 0.6% from the second quarter of 2024. Despite weakness in these key metrics, rental revenues grew 2.8% compared to the year-ago quarter due largely to the steady expansion of our branch count since the close of the third quarter of 2023. Finally, gross fleet expenditures in the quarter were $131.3 million, resulting in gross expenditures through the first nine months of 2024 of $327.8 million. We concluded the third quarter with a fleet original equipment cost of slightly below $3.0 billion.”
Mr. Barber acknowledged the Company’s impressive expansion achievements, noting, “A record number of eight branches were added in the third quarter, while a ninth branch was opened in the month of October. The strong outcome reflected the outstanding execution of our accelerated new location program, which has achieved a record 16 additional locations in 2024, exceeding our stated expansion expectation. Our U.S. geographic coverage through September 30, 2024 improved to 157 locations across 32 states. When accounting for both new locations and branches added through acquisition, our branch count is up more than 14% in 2024 and approximately 54% since the close of 2021. Both measures are dominant accomplishments in our industry.”
With the final quarter of 2024 underway, Mr. Barber provided updated expectations for the rental equipment industry, stating, “Construction spending in the U.S. continues to demonstrate the slowing rate of growth observed over the first half of 2024. We believe a trend of moderating activity will persist through the remainder of the year, with physical fleet utilization and rental rates below year-ago measures. Beyond the fourth quarter, the developing outlook for our industry is more encouraging into 2025. The Dodge Momentum Index (DMI), a leading indicator of construction spending, has exhibited gains for five of the last six months, while construction employment remains on a steady upward trajectory. Also, a cycle of easing interest rates is expected to have positive implications for local construction activity as projects are reevaluated under more favorable lending conditions. Finally, the strong expansion of mega projects remains a significant driver of growth for our industry, both today and into the future. Our branch expansion has led to a greater and more diverse exposure to mega projects, including a growing presence on data centers, solar and wind farms and LNG export facilities.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measures (EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Income from Operations, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share and the disaggregation of equipment rental revenues and cost of sales numbers) detailed below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We define Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented as EBITDA adjusted for non-cash stock-based compensation expense and the impairment of goodwill. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.
We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as supplemental measures to evaluate a company’s overall operating performance. However, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin 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 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. For Adjusted EBITDA, we eliminate non-cash items such as non-cash stock-based compensation expense and any other non-recurring items described above applicable to the particular period. However, some of these eliminated items are necessary 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; (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; and (iv) stock compensation expense while non-cash, is an element of our costs. 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, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin as performance measures and also consider our GAAP results. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measurements of our financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered alternatives to net income, operating income or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
We use Adjusted Income from Operations, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Share (“Adjusted Income Measures”) 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. We define the Adjusted Income Measures for the periods presented as Income from Operations, Net Income and Net Income per Share, respectively, adjusted for the impairment of goodwill. Additionally, we believe Adjusted Income Measures, in combination with financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, provide investors with useful information and additional perspective concerning future profitability. However, Adjusted Income Measures are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to GAAP Income from Operations, Net Income and Net Income per Share. Because Adjusted Income Measures may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
We have presented in a supplemental schedule the disaggregation of our equipment rental revenues to provide further detail in evaluating the period over period performance of our rental business relative to equipment rental gross profit and equipment rental gross margin and believe these non-GAAP measures may be useful to investors for this reason. However, you should not consider this in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in the financial tables accompanying this earnings release.
