(NYSE:URI) today announced that it has revised its earnings guidance because of the delay in the expected recovery in non-residential construction spending. For the second quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company projects earnings per share of between $0.50 and $0.54. The Company projects earnings per share of $1.70 for 2002 and $2.50 for 2003. The Company also announced that it has acquired from National Equipment Services (NYSE:NSV) 35 locations in 12 states that primarily rent trench shoring and shielding equipment, road plates, slide rail systems and other specialty underground equipment. Revenues of the acquired locations were $56 million in 2001. The purchase price was approximately $110 million. Rental of trench shoring and related equipment provides high margins and significant cross-selling opportunities. United Rentals, Inc. is the largest equipment rental company in North America, with an integrated network of more than 750 locations in 47 states, seven Canadian provinces, and Mexico. The Company serves more than 1.4 million customers, including construction and industrial companies, manufacturers, utilities, municipalities, homeowners and others.
