Non-GAAP results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 exclude $0.6 million relating primarily to the restructuring of our operations. Non-GAAP results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 exclude $1.3 million of debt restructuring expense representing the tender premiums and the remaining unamortized acquisition date discount on the redemption of $22.3 million of 9.75% Notes and $0.8 million relating primarily to the restructuring of our operations. Non-GAAP results for second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 exclude approximately $1.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of expenses relating primarily to the restructuring of our operations. Non-GAAP reconciliation tables are on page 6, and show the effects of these expenses to comparable GAAP figures.

Business Overview
Mobile Mini’s Chairman, President & CEO, Steven Bunger stated, “Following strong first quarter gains, the positive momentum continued and actually strengthened in the second quarter. Second quarter total revenues increased 9.2% and lease revenues increased 7.9% over the first quarter of this year; these percentage increases represent our largest second quarter over first quarter gains since 2006.”

Mr. Bunger also stated, “Second quarter 2011 lease revenues increased 7.6% versus the same period last year, marking the second successive reporting period of comparable quarter gains. Also contributing to the 10.6% increase in total revenues was the more than 35% increase in sales revenues during the period. The sales margin was higher than normal due to growing demand in a strengthening business environment as well as the continued tight supply of used ISO containers in the ports.”

He continued, “We are very gratified with the direction of fleet utilization; while average utilization was 55.8% for the second quarter, at June 30, 2011, it rose to 57.1% reflecting heightened demand from all customer segments. Through June 30, 2011, units on rent have increased in all geographic regions in both North America and Europe. In addition, our ability to move lease assets to new markets as well as to other high demand markets, continues to benefit our utilization rate. Yield improved 5.7% over the first quarter of this year and 5.5% from the second quarter of 2010 due primarily to higher trucking and ancillary revenues.”

Mr. Bunger pointed out, “We are pleased with our 1.7 percentage point non-GAAP EBITDA margin expansion from the first to second quarter of this year, as both quarters fully reflect the build-out of our National Sales Center (NSC) under our hybrid sales approach. This increase from 36.0% for the first quarter to 37.7% for the second quarter demonstrates the operating leverage inherent in our business model. This quarter was also the first reporting period since the second quarter of 2009 that there was an improvement in our comparable quarter non-GAAP EBITDA. This improvement was achieved despite higher transportation, repairs & maintenance and payroll costs related to our increased business activity. New hires in operationally strategic areas such as IT and sales, and the full staffing of the NSC also added to our year over year payroll increase.”

Discussing new markets, Mr. Bunger went on to say, “Thus far this year, we have entered eight new markets. In addition to Albany, NY; Des Moines, IA and Columbus, GA, which we announced in May, we now or will soon have low-cost operational yards in Gainesville and Tallahassee, FL; Asheville and Wilmington, NC and Beaumont, TX. We continue to explore other locations and plan to enter several more by year-end either through greenfield operational yards or through small acquisitions.”

Mark Funk, Mobile Mini’s Executive Vice President & CFO noted, “As of June 30, 2011, we had generated free cash flow for 14 consecutive quarters. Second quarter free cash flow totaled $11.2 million for a year-to-date total of $33.5 million. Cash flow from operations of $12.6 million less $1.4 million in capital expenditures enabled us to pay down an additional $11.7 million of debt in the second quarter, bringing the first half debt pay down to $31.2 million after payment of a $1.1 million call premium related to redeeming the remaining $22.3 million of outstanding MSG Senior Notes. We remain confident that we will continue to generate strong free cash flow and pay down debt through the second half. In the three years since the acquisition of Mobile Storage Group, Mobile Mini has generated free cash flow of $212.0 million and reduced its debt by $191.2 million. As a result of our senior note refinancing in November 2010, our debt pay down of $52.6 million for the trailing twelve months and lower interest rates, 2011 first half interest expense has been reduced by 15.5% or close to $5 million.”

Mr. Funk again pointed out, “Our balance sheet now reflects only one class of stock as the former Series A Convertible Redeemable Participating Preferred Stock automatically converted into an aggregate of 8,182,356 shares of our common stock effective April 14, 2011.”

Mr. Funk stated, “All of the initiatives that we have implemented to grow and optimize our operations and enhance our financial structure and liquidity, plus the operating leverage inherent in our business model are enabling us to maximize the impact of the economic rebound on our financial results. We therefore remain confident of comparable quarter gains in revenues, lease revenues, EBITDA and net income for the balance of the year.”

EBITDA, EBITDA margin, non-GAAP SG&A and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. The method of reconciliation of EBITDA, EBITDA margin, non-GAAP SG&A and free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found later in this release.

Mobile Mini, Inc. News Release

This press release includes the financial measures “EBITDA”, “EBITDA margin”, “non-GAAP SG&A” and “free cash flow”. These measurements may be deemed a “non-GAAP financial measure” under rules of the SEC, 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 non-GAAP 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 they provide 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 GAAP 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.

Non-GAAP SG&A permits a comparative assessment of our SG&A expenses by excluding certain non-recurring expenses. We define non-GAAP SG&A as GAAP selling, general and administrative expense less approximately $331,000 and $270,000 of non-recurring expenses in the first half of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

A reconciliation of EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities and net income to EBITDA and non-GAAP 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:
