Forward Guidance

Company expects to establish no fewer than 10 new branches in 2022.

Positive Outlook

  • Broadening industrial recovery led by non-residential construction activity.
  • Physical utilization during October peaked at 75%, best measure since 2018.
  • Strong operational execution and continued strong demand as we entered the final quarter of 2021
  • Industry indicators continue to signal the likelihood for further non-residential project expansion in 2022
  • Exit from the crane distribution business, as well as the sale of two earthmoving distribution branches represent significant steps we are taking to advance H&E’s strategic transition to a pure equipment rental business.

Challenges Ahead

  • Global supply chain challenges
