(1) Organization and Nature of Operations
Founded in 1961, H&E Equipment Services, Inc. (or “the Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is one of the largest rental equipment companies in the nation, serving customers across 24 states. The Company’s fleet is versatile with an equipment mix comprised of aerial work platforms, earthmoving, material handling, and other general and specialty lines. H&E serves a diverse set of end markets in many high-growth geographies including branches throughout the Pacific Northwest, West Coast, Intermountain, Southwest, Gulf Coast States, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic regions. COVID-19 The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was first identified in late 2019. COVID-19 spread rapidly throughout the world and, in March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. COVID-19 is a pandemic of respiratory disease spreading from person-to-person that poses a serious public health risk. The subsequent spread of COVID-19 during 2020 and the resulting economic contraction resulted in increased business uncertainty in our industry. As the impact of COVID-19 became more widespread, our equipment rental utilization and sales volumes began to decline from February 2020 levels through mid-April 2020, where we began to see utilization and sales levels stabilize and improve for the remainder of 2020. We continue to see overall improvements with utilization levels beginning in March 2021 returning to approximate pre-COVID utilization levels. The timing and extent of any subsequent contraction in our equipment rental utilization and sales volumes due to COVID-19 will depend on a number of factors, including a widespread resurgence in COVID-19 infections, the rate of vaccinations, vaccine efficacy, a global supply chain disruption, the impact to capital and financial markets and the related impact on our customers. We remain focused on the safety and well-being of our employees, customers and communities as we maintain a high-level of service to our customers.
