EX-99.1 2 a5265143ex99_1.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 McGrath RentCorp Announces Results for Third Quarter 2006 Q3 EPS of $0.50 Rental Revenues Increase 12% LIVERMORE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 2006--McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ:MGRC) today announced revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, of $77.9 million, compared to $77.8 million in the third quarter 2005, $5.8 million of which were modular building sales arising from damages caused by Hurricane Katrina. The Company reported net income for the third quarter 2006 of $12.7 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, the most profitable quarter in the Company's history. Third quarter 2006 results included $0.8 million of non-cash stock compensation recognized under SFAS 123R, which reduced net income by $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $12.1 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2005, which included $0.9 million, or $0.04 per share, contribution from Hurricane Katrina related sales. Rental revenue, the key driver of sustainable revenue and earnings levels, rose 12% for the quarter and 11% year-to-date. For the Company's Mobile Modular division, rental revenues increased 14%, or $3.0 million to $23.9 million, with gross profit on rental revenues increasing 13% to $15.0 million from $13.3 million in the third quarter 2005. Sales revenues decreased $8.6 million from $20.9 million in the third quarter 2005 to $12.4 million, with gross profit on sales decreasing $1.4 million to $3.5 million in the third quarter 2006. The decrease in sales revenues was primarily due to a $5.8 million sale related to damages caused by Hurricane Katrina during the third quarter 2005. The Company views these types of large sale projects as unique opportunities and generally does not expect sale projects of a similar size to occur on a regular basis. Total gross profit increased 3% from $20.8 million in the third quarter 2005 to $21.4 million in the third quarter 2006. Selling and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million to $6.3 million in the third quarter 2006, primarily due to $0.5 million of non-cash stock compensation expense related to the adoption of SFAS 123R. Allocated interest expense increased $0.6 million due to higher average interest rates and average debt levels experienced by the Company. As a result, Mobile Modular pre-tax income decreased 5% to $12.9 million from $13.6 million in the third quarter 2005. "For our modular rental business, we produced a 14% increase in rental revenues over the third quarter 2005," stated Dennis Kakures, President & CEO. "This was primarily a result of new educational rentals coming online and the impact of higher commercial activity. We had favorable rental revenue growth in our three modular rental markets, California, Texas and Florida, compared to both last year's third quarter, as well as sequentially from this year's second quarter. I couldn't be more pleased with the organizational culture created over the years in our modular division in serving our customers at a level that creates a strong competitive advantage. This is especially evident in our business levels to date in newer markets we have entered. "Additionally, modular gross margin on rental revenues returned to the low sixty percent range, to 63%, in the third quarter from 55% in the second quarter 2006. We lowered inventory center expenses by approximately $1.1 million during the third quarter compared to the second quarter and at the same time benefited from rental revenue stream growth from the higher spend in the second quarter in preparing equipment for rental." For the Company's TRS-RenTelco division, rental revenues increased 9% to $20.0 million compared to $18.4 million in the third quarter of 2005, with gross profit on rental revenues increasing 14% to $9.0 million from $7.9 million in the third quarter 2005. Sales revenues decreased slightly from $5.8 million in the third quarter 2005 to $5.7 million in the third quarter 2006. Higher sales margins in the third quarter 2006 resulted in $0.1 million higher gross profit on sales of $1.8 million compared to the third quarter 2005. Selling and administrative expenses increased $0.1 million due to $0.3 million of non-cash stock compensation expense related to the adoption of SFAS 123R. Allocated interest expense increased $0.3 million due to higher average interest rates and average debt levels experienced by the Company. As a result, TRS-RenTelco pre-tax income increased 16% to $5.9 million from $5.1 million in the third quarter 2005. "TRS-RenTelco's rental revenue increase of 9% from the third quarter 2005 reflects continuing favorable market conditions across a broad range of electronic test equipment product and market segments," Mr. Kakures further stated. "Our gross margin on rents increased to 45% for the quarter, our highest quarterly level since the merger of TRS and RenTelco in mid-2004. We are continuing to buy the latest technology test equipment to support demand and invest in our North America market leadership position. We are also beginning to see improvement in our day-to-day rigor in managing our opportunity pipeline. Ultimately, this should result in closing more opportunities and lead to higher rental revenue levels. "I would like to congratulate all of our employees for McGrath RentCorp's recent listing in Forbes Magazine's 200 Best Small Companies for 2006. This is our sixth time making the listing. Although there are many different financial metrics that are measured in making the list, we are most proud of what we have accomplished with our return on equity. Our ability to achieve a high return on equity over an extended period of time says a great deal about our ability to make intelligent rental equipment investments and to operate our businesses with increasing precision." THIRD QUARTER 2006 HIGHLIGHTS (AS COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 2005) -- Rental revenues increased 12% to $43.9 million. Within rental revenues, Mobile Modular increased 14% from $20.9 million to $23.9 million; TRS-RenTelco increased 9% from $18.4 million to $20.0 million. -- Sales revenues decreased 19% to $25.1 million, resulting from lower sales volume at Mobile Modular partially offset by higher sales at Enviroplex. In the third quarter 2005, Mobile Modular sales revenues included a $5.8 million sale related to damages caused by Hurricane Katrina. Lower sales volume was offset by a higher gross margin percentage of 32.7% in 2006 compared to 26.5% in 2005, resulting in a comparable gross profit of $8.2 million in 2006 and 2005. Sales revenues and related gross margins can fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending on customer requirements, equipment availability and funding. -- Depreciation of rental equipment increased 6% to $11.4 million, with Mobile Modular increasing 17% to $2.8 million from $2.4 million in 2005, and TRS-RenTelco increasing 3% to $8.6 million from $8.4 million in 2005. -- Debt decreased $11.4 million during the quarter to $178.1 million, with the Company's total liabilities to equity ratio decreasing from 1.71 to 1 as of June 30, 2006 to 1.66 to 1 at September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, the Company, under its lines of credit, had capacity to borrow an additional $76.9 million. -- Dividend rate increased 14% to $0.16 per share for the third quarter 2006, as compared to $0.14 per share for the third quarter of 2005. On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 2.4% yield on the November 1, 2006 close price of $26.13. -- EBITDA increased 11% to $36.9 million for the third quarter 2006 compared to $33.2 million for the third quarter 2005. EBITDA is defined as net income before minority interest in income of subsidiary, interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash stock compensation.

Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA The Company presents EBITDA as a financial measure as management believes it provides useful information regarding the Company's liquidity and financial condition and because management, as well as the Company's lenders, use this measure in evaluating the performance of the business. EBITDA is defined by the Company as net income before minority interest in income of subsidiary, interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash stock compensation. In addition, several of the loan covenants and the determination of the interest rate related to the Company's revolving line of credit are expressed by reference to this financial measure, similarly calculated. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or 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 the Company's profitability or liquidity. The Company's EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Since EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the following table reconciles EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for the three, nine and twelve months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
