Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 4, 2006, Mobile Mini, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.01 to this report.

The press release includes the financial measure “EBITDA” and certain pro forma financial results. The EBITDA and pro forma financial measurements may be deemed a “non-GAAP financial measure” under rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Regulation G. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and debt extinguishment costs. We present EBITDA because we believe it provides useful information regarding our ability to meet our future debt payment requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements and that it provides an overall evaluation of our financial condition. In addition, EBITDA is a component of certain financial covenants under our revolving credit facility and is used to determine our available borrowing ability and the interest rate in effect at any point in time. We include EBITDA in the earnings announcement to provide transparency to investors. EBITDA has certain limitations as an analytical tool and should not be used as a substitute for net income, cash flows, or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or as a measure of our profitability or our liquidity.

The pro forma financial results reported show our operating results absent an estimated expense of $0.02 per diluted share, after tax, relating to the impact of SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). In addition, the pro forma earnings guidance for our second quarter 2006 and the full year 2006 show our operating results absent an estimated expense of $0.02 and $0.06 per diluted share, respectively, after tax, relating to the impact of SFAS 123(R) and debt extinguishment costs, which took place during the second quarter 2006, of $6.4 million or approximately $0.12 per diluted share, after tax. For a reconciliation of the pro forma results to actual results for the three months ended March 31, 2006, please see the press release, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.01 to this report.

A reconciliation of EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities and net income to EBITDA follows (in thousands), which includes effects of rounding:
