• | | We used free cash flow and other funds to pay down net debt by an additional $20.2 million; |

|
• | | Average utilization rate was 56.0% in the fourth quarter versus 56.9% in the third quarter due primarily to the continued weakness in the economy, partially offset by our fourth quarter seasonal rentals; |

Business Overview
“Unlike many companies in the equipment leasing business, our Company remained profitable throughout 2009,” stated Steven Bunger, Mobile Mini’s Chairman, President & CEO. “During these lean times, we aggressively reduced operating costs, which produced the desired results in terms of preserving margins, while generating free cash flow, and paying down debt.”
On the subject of cost reduction measures Mr. Bunger noted, “We’ve continued to re-size our organization and in the final quarter of 2009, we have cut another $3.3 million in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. In fact, SG&A expense in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $12.6 million less than in the same period one year earlier. Expense cuts have been across the board, most notably the elimination of approximately 37% of our workforce since mid-December 2008 and the conversion of 8 full-service branches into lower cost operational yards, both in North America and Europe. With 118 locations, logistics optimization for our transportation fleet and inventory has been and remains a high priority. We have also taken costs out of our business by renegotiating property leases and vendor contracts and enhancing our procurement processes. Thanks to Lean6Sigma, we are improving efficiencies throughout our business. Further cost reduction initiatives and productivity improvements are planned for 2010.”
Discussing recent developments, Mr. Bunger continued, “We are also investing in our business with the adoption of a hybrid sales model incorporating a local as well as centralized component, with both groups incentivized on the basis of performance. The salespeople at the branches continue to be focused on large multi-unit local customers that benefit from local service such as construction customers, while those in our new National Sales Center (“NSC”) in Tempe, Arizona are targeting our other customers, primarily non-contractors. While we have reduced salespeople at the branches and are hiring for the NSC, because of the expected efficiencies in our approach and team-design of the NSC, this hybrid approach will result in a net salesperson headcount reduction. A similar program is underway in Europe. We believe that this hybrid approach will also produce a more cost effective and productive sales model, enabling us to attract new customers and gain market share. It also enables the migration to lower cost operational yards of which there are now 32.”
On the subject of pricing, Mr. Bunger noted, “Although fourth quarter yield declined 1.8% year-over-year, this had more to do with product mix, ancillary revenues and foreign exchange than rental rates. Overall, price levels have remained relatively stabile. As the market leader, Mobile Mini’s product superiority and differentiation along with unsurpassed customer service, backed by a best in class customer loyalty Net Promoter Score, have enabled us to preserve our premium pricing during this economic downturn.”
He went on to say, “We are moving forward with our plan to enter several new markets in 2010. Thus far, we have identified a location in Omaha for a low cost greenfield operational yard, and we are scouting sites for our entry into the greater Norfolk, VA and Washington, D.C. markets. As we previously indicated, we will relocate underutilized fleet to new locations which should have a positive impact on utilization.”
Mark Funk, Mobile Mini’s Executive Vice President & CFO noted, “The fourth quarter of 2009 represents our eighth consecutive quarter of free cash flow. We generated free cash flow of $19.5 million in the final quarter for a 2009 total of $89.7 million, which represents a 165% or $55.9 million improvement over 2008. Once again in the fourth quarter, capital expenditures of $7.2 million were less than net proceeds generated from the sale of units from the fleet and from the sales of excess property, plant and equipment. Net capital proceeds for 2009 were $2.9 million versus net capital expenditures of $64.7 million in 2008. Worth noting, the gross margin on the sale of units from the fleet was 33.8% in the final quarter and 33.2% for the year.”

He continued, “In the final quarter of 2009, we paid down $20.2 million of total debt which brings the total debt pay down for the year to $83.7 million. Borrowing availability at year end was $342.7 million, and we have no refinancing requirements prior to June 2013.”
Mr. Bunger concluded, “We are working on all fronts to ensure that when the economy improves, we are positioned to once again grow units on lease and profitability. To that end, we continue to invest in broadening our geographic coverage, enhancing our sales organization and advertising programs, and optimizing our transportation fleet logistics, but at the same time, we are equally committed to cost cutting, free cash flow generation and debt reduction.”
EBITDA, EBITDA margin and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. The method of reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found later in this release.

This press release includes the financial measures “EBITDA”, “EBITDA margin” and “free cash flow”. These measurements may be deemed a “non-GAAP financial measure” under rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Regulation G. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies.
EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and if applicable, debt restructuring or extinguishment costs. We typically further adjust EBITDA to ignore the effect of what we consider transactions or events not related to our core business to arrive at adjusted EBITDA in the reconciliation below. The GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to EBITDA is net cash provided by operating activities. EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing consolidated EBITDA by total revenues. The GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to EBITDA margin is operating margin, which represents operating income divided by revenues. We present EBITDA and EBITDA margin because we believe they provide useful information regarding our ability to meet our future debt payment requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements and that it provides an overall evaluation of our financial condition. In addition, EBITDA is a component of certain financial covenants under our revolving credit facility and is used to determine our available borrowing ability and the interest rate. We include EBITDA in the earnings announcement to provide transparency to investors. EBITDA has certain limitations as an analytical tool and should not be used as a substitute for net income, cash flows, or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or as a measure of our profitability or our liquidity. EBITDA margin is presented along with the operating margin so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on it than the corresponding GAAP measure.
Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less net cash used in investing activities, excluding acquisitions. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to replace net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We present free cash flow because we believe it provides useful information regarding our liquidity and ability to meet our short-term obligations. In particular, free cash flow indicates the amount of cash available after capital expenditures for, among other things, investments in the Company’s existing businesses, debt service obligations and strategic acquisitions.
A reconciliation of EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities and net income to EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow, follows. These reconciliations are in thousands and include effects of rounding:
