ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
On March 19, 2001, Mobile Mini, Inc. issued the following release:
"MOBILE MINI PROVIDES FIRST AND SECOND QUARTER GUIDANCE: REVENUE AND EPS
EXPECTED TO MEET CONSENSUS ESTIMATES.
TEMPE, ARIZONA, March 19, 2001 - Mobile Mini, Inc. (Nasdaq National Market:
MINI) today provided guidance concerning first and second quarter revenue and
EPS. The Company anticipates that first quarter revenue will meet analysts'
consensus estimates. The Company's outlook for total revenue in the first
quarter is between $24.4 million and $24.8 million, and the Company expects that
leasing revenue will be between $21.1 million and $21.3 million for the first
quarter. The Company's expectation that leasing revenue will comprise the
dominant part of total revenues reflects the Company's continued focus on its
storage unit leasing business. The Company reported that, from the beginning of
the first quarter through March 16th, the number of units on lease has been
running slightly ahead of what management had expected. The Company announced
that it anticipates that first quarter EPS would meet the analysts' consensus
estimate of $0.26.

analysts' consensus estimates of second quarter total revenue of $27.4 million
and second quarter EPS in the range of $0.31 to $0.32 per share.
