Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

(c) Exhibits.

     99.1   Registrant’s press release, dated May 4, 2004.

Item 12. Results of Operation and Financial Condition.

On May 4, 2004, Mobile Mini, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter of 2004. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

The information in this Form 8-K and the exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

The press release includes the financial measure “EBITDA”, which may be deemed a “non-GAAP financial measure” under rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We define EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We use EBITDA as a financial measure in management decision-making because we believe it provides useful supplemental information regarding our financial and liquidity position and facilitates internal comparisons to historical financial position and operating performance of prior periods and external comparisons to competitors’ financial position and operating performance. In addition, several of the financial covenants under our revolving credit facility are expressed by reference to this financial measure, similarly computed. We include the EBITDA financial measure in the earnings announcement to provide transparency to investors. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA follows (in thousands):

                 
    Three Months ended March 31,
    2003
   2004
Net income
   $ 3,833     $ 3,155  
Interest expense
     3,216       4,991  
Provision for income taxes
     2,451       2,104  
Depreciation and amortization
     2,617       2,979  
 
    
 		      
 		  
EBITDA
   $ 12,117     $ 13,229
