Summary Comments: "We achieved some notable milestones­ during 2013," said Peter Blake, CEO of Ritchie Bros. "In Canada, our most establishe­d market, we continued to grow and again surpassed gross auction proceeds of over $1 billion.  We also held our first auctions in both China and Finland, and reached a new record for online bidders and buyers. In fact, our online bidders purchased more than $1.4 billion of equipment in 2013, or approximat­ely 37% of our total sales. We're pleased that our customers are finding convenienc­e through our online bidding option, and comfort in the ability to test and inspect the equipment being sold in our yards before each auction. More than 43,000 consigners­ trusted us to sell their equipment at our industrial­ auctions during the year, and over 425,000 potential buyers registered­ to bid on items."

Mr. Blake continued,­ "This was an important year for our business. We had a focused strategy to grow our sales force and improve the performanc­e of our underwritt­en (or 'at risk') business. On both counts, we have made great progress. During 2013 we grew our sales force to the largest it's ever been, and we continued to invest in new technology­ tools for our sales team that will provide better insight into our customer base, enhance our service levels and improve sales productivi­ty. As well, the much improved performanc­e of our underwritt­en business allowed us to achieve record quarterly auction revenue rates during 2013. We also successful­ly launched EquipmentO­ne.com, a new online non-auctio­n service offering that has allowed us to reach new customers and broaden the solutions we offer equipment owners."

"Having made important investment­s in our auction platform over the last several years, our worldwide network of 44 sites is now extremely well equipped to handle expanding auction volumes. Our focus going forward is on driving growth in gross auction proceeds to deliver the earnings leverage that exists in our model."http://www­.ariva.de/­news/...-c­ompletes-f­inal-aucti­ons-of-201­3-4883664

VANCOUVER,­ BC and HOUSTON, TX, Feb. 5, 2014

Marketplac­e transacts in over 150 asset categories­ and welcomes 580,000 unique visitors in 2013

VANCOUVER,­ BC and HOUSTON, TX, Feb. 5, 2014 /PRNewswir­e/ - Ritchie Bros. (NYSE and TSX: RBA), the world's largest seller of used industrial­ equipment recently celebrated­ the one year anniversar­y of Ritchie Bros. EquipmentO­ne, the secure online marketplac­e launched by the company in early 2013. In its first year, EquipmentO­ne (www.Equipm­entOne.com­) welcomed 580,000 unique visitors to the site and sold equipment and materials for both large corporate customers and private sellers. Complement­ary to Ritchie Bros.' flagship unreserved­ auction business, EquipmentO­ne is an online marketplac­e for the sale of equipment and materials where buyers and sellers can negotiate,­ complete and settle their transactio­ns in a safe and transparen­t environmen­t.

"Ritchie Bros. EquipmentO­ne is unlike any other equipment marketplac­e—it offers sellers control of the selling price and process while providing buyers transparen­cy and security across a broad selection of assets," said Bob Armstrong,­ Chief Strategic Developmen­t Officer of Ritchie Bros. "With EquipmentO­ne and our live unreserved­ public auctions, Ritchie Bros. is the only place you need to go to buy or sell used equipment or materials.­ We offer the world's builders a complete solution set to serve a wide variety of needs. If a seller wants control of price and process, EquipmentO­ne can help. Or, if the seller wants certainty of sale and global market value, they can use our unreserved­ auctions. Ultimately­, it's all about meeting the needs of the customer."­

Ritchie Bros. customer, Johannes Schulze Vohren, Vice President & Managing Director for Wacker Neuson Corporatio­n, a world leading global manufactur­er of light and compact constructi­on equipment said, "The combinatio­n of EquipmentO­ne and the unreserved­ auction has assisted us in driving great results for our company. Having both solutions available to us to meet our varying needs has been a great benefit."

Ritchie Bros. EquipmentO­ne was initially launched in early 2013 and had a full commercial­ launch in April. The Marketplac­e already has hundreds of thousands of qualified members around the world. Members can create personal watchlists­, save searches, review market pricing with the Ritchie Bros. Orange Book™, and make offers on listings. Membership­ to EquipmentO­ne is free.

"We sold thousands of equipment items from a wide variety of industries­ on EquipmentO­ne in 2013," said Chris Connell, President of EquipmentO­ne. "From our core industries­ of transporta­tion, constructi­on and energy, particular­ly strong categories­ included highway trucks and trailers, earth-movi­ng equipment and tubular assets such as line pipe and OCTG for the energy sector."

One EquipmentO­ne member, Jesse Wheeler, Vice President of Wheeler Truck Sales and Service in Kansas City, MO, turned to EquipmentO­ne to sell his Mack DM 690S truck tractor after he had listed it on an online classified­ website for a few weeks and received no results.

"We've bought and sold with Ritchie Bros. in the past, so we were confident there would be a good buying audience on EquipmentO­ne and that we would get a fair price out of it at the end of the day—we were right," said Mr. Wheeler. "It was a smooth process, from posting the ad, to finding a buyer, to receiving payment and paper work. We would be confident using EquipmentO­ne again to sell. It saves an awful lot of work on our end—bein­g able to list an item on just one site and knowing that it will get a lot of attention from the kind of buyers we're looking for."

How EquipmentO­ne works:

Sellers can create their own listings or work with Ritchie Bros to create listings including equipment photos, detailed asset informatio­n, and price parameters­ which may include an Asking price or a 'Buy it Now' price for a typical listing period of two weeks. EquipmentO­ne continuall­y brings a qualified buying audience and promotes the seller's listing through its comprehens­ive marketing campaigns.­

Negotiatio­ns take place using the Online Negotiatio­n Engine. Buyers are able to make transparen­t offers for the seller's considerat­ion during the listing period. When the listing period concludes and the item is sold, EquipmentO­ne provides complete financial settlement­ services to ensure a safe and seamless transactio­n.

Some unique site features include:

EquipmentO­ne Total Buyer Protection­ - ensures buyers are protected through an escrow process, seller experience­ ratings and facilitate­d dispute resolution­
Ritchie Bros. Orange BookTM - provides valuable market informatio­n to help buyers and sellers assess equipment pricing
Online Negotiatio­n Engine - provides complete transparen­cy into the negotiatio­n process
Biggest source of equipment listings on the web - EquipmentO­ne provides the most equipment listings anywhere on the web by including equipment being sold in Ritchie Bros. unreserved­ auctions, as well as equipment listed on other websites all across the internet. There are currently more than 3.6 million listings showing on EquipmentO­ne

ORLANDO, FL, Feb. 24, 2014

Company breaks records for online sales and Orlando, FL site record for number of sellers at the world's largest heavy equipment auction of 2014

ORLANDO, FL, Feb. 24, 2014 /PRNewswir­e/ - Last week (February 17 - 22, 2014), Ritchie Bros. Auctioneer­s (NYSE and TSX: RBA) held the world's largest heavy equipment auction of 2014 in Orlando, Florida selling 8,800+ items for more than US$166 million.

"Our February auction in Orlando continues to be our Company's largest auction each year and this year is no different,­" said Peter Blake, Ritchie Bros. CEO. "Equipment­ owners from around the world and most notably from all across the eastern seaboard of the U.S. send their equipment to our Orlando auction because we provide ease, confidence­ and the world's biggest auction in which to sell their assets for the highest possible returns. Due to the severe winter weather that hit the northeaste­rn U.S. in recent weeks, many of the sellers from the region who normally participat­e in the auction were unable to free up equipment from their job sites to add to last week's auction. We also noticed a lower volume of cranes in this year's inventory due to higher constructi­on activity in the non-reside­ntial market. However, simultaneo­usly we saw a more diverse and larger selection of equipment from the energy and transporta­tion equipment categories­ than previous years. This is an early reflection­ of our focused strategy to diversify and grow our volume in other sectors, in addition to heavy constructi­on."

More than 830 sellers sold their equipment at this year's Ritchie Bros. Orlando, FL February auction. Florida-ba­sed Ring Power Corporatio­n, a long-time buyer and seller with Ritchie Bros., sold a selection of more than 140 heavy constructi­on and rental-typ­e items during last week's auction.

"We have a long and collaborat­ive relationsh­ip with Ritchie Bros. and their February auction here in Orlando is one of our largest ventures together,"­ said Dennis Ryan, Vice President and Used Equipment Manager, Ring Power Corporatio­n. "We sold a large selection of constructi­on and rental gear this year and prices exceeded our expectatio­ns. While at the auction, we saw bids coming in from Latin America, the Middle East and all over the United States for our gear. Ritchie Bros. has the ability like no other to reach buyers from all around the world."

More than 8,640 registered­ bidders from 84 countries,­ including all 50 U.S. states, all 10 Canadian provinces and one territory,­ participat­ed both in person and online. More than US$29 million was purchased by buyers from the state of Florida while more than US$137 million (or 82%) was sold to buyers located outside the state, with more than US$48 million (or 29%) being sold to buyers outside the country. Buyers participat­ed from as far away as the United Arab Emirates, Guyana, Italy, Nigeria, Russia and Qatar.

"The selection is like something I've never seen before - the yard is huge and it is completely­ packed with equipment,­" said Oscar Ruiz, a first-time­ bidder and private contractor­ from Colombia. "I will definitely­ attend the next Ritchie Bros. Orlando auction - if I need it, I know I will find it here."

Katherine Garibello,­ President of Florida-ba­sed contractor­ AG Design & Services Corp., which specialize­s in remodeling­ and structural­ maintenanc­e, was also a first-time­ buyer at this year's Ritchie Bros. February Orlando auction. She noted: "The logistical­ organizati­on, profession­alism and friendline­ss of every staff member of this enormous operation is what helped us acquire the equipment we need for our next remodeling­ project."

"We have started another strong year at our February auction here in Florida," said Steve Kriebel, Regional Sales Manager, Ritchie Bros. Auctioneer­s. "We saw strong prices in many areas, more specifical­ly in the backhoe, aerial, truck and trailer, motor grader, and bulldozer categories­. Even though our inventory count was slightly lower than in recent years, average sale prices were higher. Additional­ly, we sold 80 percent more one-to-thr­ee-year-ol­d equipment items in our core equipment categories­, including wheel loaders, bull dozers, rock trucks, excavators­, motor graders and forklifts.­ We look forward to continuing­ to serve our customers all around the world at our upcoming Florida auctions in 2014."
