•New equipment sales totaled $21.5 million, a decline of 4.5% when compared to $22.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

•Gross margin improved to 45.1% compared to 42.0% in the same quarter of 2021.

•Total equipment rental gross margins were 47.9% compared to 46.3% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Rental gross margins were 53.1% compared to 51.7% over the same period of comparison.

•Average time utilization (based on original equipment cost) was 72.0% compared to 73.1% in the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company’s rental fleet based on original acquisition cost ended 2022 at approximately $2.4 billion, representing a 26.8% increase from 2021.

•Average rental rates, excluding One Source, improved 10.6% when compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 and 1.8% when compared to the third quarter of 2022.

•Dollar utilization improved to 41.9% compared to 39.3% in the fourth quarter of 2021.

•Average rental fleet age on December 31, 2022, was 43.6 months compared to an industry average age of 53.3 months.

•Closed the sale of the Komatsu earthmoving distribution business for proceeds of $29.2 million. A gain of $15.4 million was recognized on the sale and recorded as $12.9 million gain on the sale of property and equipment and $2.5 million gain on other, net.

•Paid regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.275 per share of common stock.

Brad Barber, chief executive officer, summarized H&E’s superior performance in the fourth quarter, commenting, “Our results showed solid fleet utilization, continued gains in equipment pricing, further fleet growth, and branch expansion. In addition, figures for the quarter included the operations from One Source Equipment Rentals, Inc. ("One Source") following the closing of our acquisition on October 1, 2022. Physical fleet utilization remained at a healthy level, averaging 72.0% despite pressure from typical seasonal factors that contributed to a decline in the measure of 110 basis points when compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 and 130 basis points on a sequential quarterly basis. Rental rates, which exclude One Source, improved 10.6% compared to the same quarter a year ago and 1.8% on a sequential quarterly basis. Both measures remained among the best in our industry. Our fleet original equipment cost ("OEC") closed the quarter at a record of approximately $2.4 billion, with gross capital expenditures in the quarter of $128.3 million and a record gross investment of $507.8 million for all of 2022. Finally, we opened two new branch locations in the quarter, closing the year with a total of 10 branch openings for the second consecutive year. We began 2023 with a network of 120 branches across 29 states."

Mr. Barber explained the Company’s optimism for 2023, stating, “Favorable trends have emerged in the equipment rental industry and represent a promising outlook. We expect the robust business environment to persist through the year as strong project backlogs and accelerating federally funded programs escalate spending, particularly in the non-residential and industrial end markets. We believe these positive trends are sustainable, due in part to a rise in federal programs addressing improvements in infrastructure that require extended periods to complete. In addition, we expect further growth in rental penetration to drive new demand for equipment as the combination of unfavorable fiscal conditions, including rising interest rates, and lingering delays in equipment deliverability encourage a shift by certain customers away from the ownership of equipment. These multiple catalysts for increased rental demand should maintain healthy equipment utilization and contribute to an attractive pricing environment characterized by modest sequential quarterly rate improvement."

In closing remarks, Mr. Barber described the Company's growth objectives for 2023 and stressed the importance of a successful expansion strategy. He summed up the year by saying, "Numerous achievements in 2022, which included the completion of our transition to a pure-play rental business and 18% growth in our branch location count, have served to fortify a sound base for future operations and strategic growth. These achievements contributed to our impressive financial performance, including record revenues and margins, while adding greater scale after our expansion into new geographies and increased branch density in existing regions. We remain focused on further growth initiatives in 2023 and believe this fundamentally sound industry will continue to create opportunities. Growth initiatives for the year include further expansion of our branch network, with a revised range of 10 to 15 new locations, up from 10 new branches in each of the last two years. Also, we are targeting a gross fleet investment of $500 million to $550 million as we continue to support existing stores and the new branch locations with both a young fleet and a diversified mix of equipment lines. Finally, attractive acquisition opportunities continue to appear in our industry and an evaluation of suitable targets remains part of our comprehensive growth strategy in 2023."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains certain non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") measures (EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Income from Operations, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) 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 the gain/loss on sale of discontinued operations.

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 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 and, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, any other non-recurring items described above applicable to the particular period. 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 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 and Adjusted EBITDA 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.
