This document does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. It is an outline of matters for discussion only. Some of the statements in this presentation and other written and oral statements made from time to time by the Company and its representatives are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements include statements regarding the intent and belief or current expectations of Essex and its management team and may be identified by the use of words like "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "may", "plan", "will", "should", "seek", the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Essex’s expectations include, without limitation, the continued ability of Essex to successfully execute its business plan, the possibility of a change in demand for the products and services that Essex provides, intense competition which may require us to lower prices or offer more favorable terms of sale, our reliance on third party suppliers, our indebtedness which could limit our operational and financial flexibility, global economic factors including interest rates, general economic conditions, geopolitical events and regulatory changes, our dependence on our management team and key personnel, as well as other relevant risks detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on our website, www.essexrentalcorp.com. The factors listed here are not exhaustive. Many of these uncertainties and risks are difficult to predict and beyond management’s control. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, results or events. Essex assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking information in this presentation whether to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in future operating results or financial conditions, or otherwise. This presentation contains unaudited non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures serves to enhance understanding of Essex’s individual operating and financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as substitutes for, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 can be found in Essex’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 8, 2014. We believe the non-Company information provided herein is reliable, as of the date hereof, but do not warrant its accuracy or completeness. In preparing these materials, we have relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all information available from public sources. Except as required by law, the Company, Essex and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and consultants make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the non- Company information contained in this document, and take no responsibility under any circumstances for any loss or damage suffered as a result of any omission, inadequacy, or inaccuracy in this document.
