SUMMARY HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA

The following tables set forth, for the periods and dates indicated, our summary historical financial data. The summary historical consolidated financial data for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements. The summary historical financial data for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 have been derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of our management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for those periods. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. The historical results included here are not necessarily indicative of future performance or results of operations.

(1) See note 17 to the audited consolidated financial statements discussing segment information.

(2) Stock-based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 totaled $1.3 million, $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

(3) As more fully described in note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements, and in connection with our annual impairment test, we recorded in 2009 a non-cash goodwill impairment of approximately $9.0 million, or $5.5 million after tax, related to our Equipment Rentals Component 1 reporting unit.

(4) Interest expense is comprised of cash-pay interest (interest recorded on debt and other obligations requiring periodic cash payments) and non-cash pay interest comprised of amortization of deferred financing costs and accretion of loan discounts.

(5) In the third quarter of 2012, we repurchased or redeemed the entire $250 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes due 2016. In connection with this repurchase and redemption, we recorded a loss on the on the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $10.2 million.

(6) 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, 2009 as EBITDA adjusted for the $9.0 million goodwill impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2009. We define Adjusted EBITDA for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 as EBITDA adjusted for the $10.2 million loss from early extinguishment of debt 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, any goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges and the other items described above applicable to the particular period and 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.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.

(7) We define Adjusted Net Income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 as Net Income adjusted for the loss from early extinguishment of debt, net of income taxes, incurred in the third quarter ended September 30, 2012. We use Adjusted Net Income 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. Additionally, we believe Adjusted Net Income provides useful information concerning future profitability. However, Adjusted Net Income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and, accordingly, this measure should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP Net Income. Because Adjusted Net Income is not calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

(8) Excludes amortization of deferred financing costs and accretion of loan discounts, which are both included in interest expense.

(9) Total capital expenditures (gross) include rental equipment purchases, assets transferred from new and used inventory to rental fleet and property and equipment purchases.

(10) Total capital expenditures (net) include rental equipment purchases, assets transferred from new and used inventory to rental fleet and property and equipment purchases less proceeds from the sale of these assets.

(11) To achieve a coverage ratio of 1:1, we would need additional pre-tax earnings of $17,679 and $40,116 in 2009 and 2010, respectively.

This dividend was paid using a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Existing Notes.

(13) The amounts shown in the “As Adjusted” column give pro forma effect to the offering of the New Notes and the use of proceeds therefrom as if such offering and use of proceeds had occurred on September 30, 2012.

(14) Pro forma interest expense and pro forma net income give effect to the offering of the New Notes and the use of proceeds therefrom as if such offering and use of proceeds had occurred on October 1, 2011.
