Ron
Schad, President and CEO of Essex Rental and Essex Crane, commented, “We are
very pleased with Essex Crane’s results for 2008, which included increased
rental revenues and Rental EBITDA (excluding the one time expenses mentioned
below). We also ended the year in a strong financial position, which
included availability under our credit facility of nearly $40
million. In 2008, we experienced well-balanced demand across the end
markets that we serve and our financial results benefited from our strategy of
transitioning our fleet towards new heavier lift capacity cranes, which generate
higher average monthly rental rates and have higher utilization rates than the
older lower lift capacity cranes that they are replacing. These
heavier lift capacity cranes contribute significantly to our profitability and
cash flow from operations.”
Fourth Quarter
Overview
Essex
Crane’s total rental related revenue for the fourth quarter of 2008, which
included revenue from rentals, repairs and maintenance, and transportation
services (but excludes used rental equipment sales), rose 10.2% to $19.4 million
from $17.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2007. This increase in
total rental revenue was driven primarily by a 16.9% increase in equipment
rental revenue to $15.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008
from $13.6 million in the comparable quarter in 2007.
