McGrath RentCorp Announces Results for First Quarter 2012

Rental revenues increase 10% / Operating Income increases 7%
EPS of $0.39 flat for the Quarter

LIVERMORE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2012--McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ: MGRC) (the “Company”), a diversified business to business rental company, today announced revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, of $78.9 million, an increase of 8%, compared to $73.0 million in the first quarter of 2011. The Company reported net income of $9.9 million, or $0.39 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2012, compared to net income of $9.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011.

Dennis Kakures, President and CEO of McGrath RentCorp, made the following comments regarding these results and future expectations:

“Our Company-wide 10% increase in rental revenues for the quarter from a year ago reflects continuing favorable business activity and rental revenue increases in both our tank and electronics rental businesses. This is McGrath RentCorp’s 7th consecutive quarter of double-digit, year over year, rental revenue growth coming out of the Great Recession. Despite a 7% increase in company-wide operating income, EPS was unchanged from the prior year because of higher interest expense and a higher diluted share count.

Adler Tank Rentals, our tank and box division, rental revenues increased 33% to $16.2 million for the quarter, from $12.2 million a year ago. Divisional income from operations increased 36% year over year to $8.2 million. The strong increase in rental revenues and income from operations were directly related to continuing overall favorable business conditions and approximately 34% more equipment, by dollar cost, on rent from a year ago. Despite lower business activity levels in Northeastern gas fields, Adler’s other regional operations all experienced favorable year over year growth. Utilization for the quarter fell to 76% from 86% a year ago, primarily due to lower gas field activity and some seasonality. It’s important to keep in mind that Adler annual utilization for the three-year period from 2009 to 2011, was 66%, 76% and 86% respectively. We are still learning what normal utilization levels will look like over time for our tank / box rental business. We are working to redeploy this idle rental equipment, and are pleased with the number of potential opportunities we are experiencing.

TRS-RenTelco, our electronics division, rental revenues for the quarter increased by $1.4 million, or 6%, to $23.4 million from a year ago. Divisional income from operations increased by 14%, or $0.9 million, to $7.4 million in 2012. In addition to higher rental revenues, our electronics business also benefited from lower depreciation and direct SG&A costs as a percentage of rental revenues from a year ago.

Modular division rental revenues for the quarter were relatively flat at $19.9 million from a year ago. Rental revenues grew by 15% year over year in our markets outside of California; however, they declined by 8% within the state. California continues to be plagued by fiscal and budgetary challenges. Year over year income from operations decreased 29% from a year ago to $4.0 million; however, modular rental operations gross profit declined only 5%. The higher percentage reduction in income from operations was due primarily to higher SG&A expenses associated with the continued expansion of our portable storage rental business and divisional employee costs, as well as lower gross profit on modular equipment sales. Modular utilization was down slightly to 66.5% compared to 66.8% a year ago.


Our portable storage and environmental test equipment businesses both continued to make good progress in their market penetration, booking levels, and rental revenue year over year growth during the quarter. We continue to work hard to grow both of these initiatives.

Company-wide SG&A expenses rose 15% to $21.4 million over the same quarter a year ago, and 2% from the fourth quarter of 2011. The year over year increase relates primarily to employee, IT software and hardware, and facilities infrastructure costs. We are very focused on managing our overhead costs tightly to ensure that we are meeting our annual SG&A expense to rental revenue target ratios, which are a component of senior management’s remuneration program.”

All comparisons presented below are for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to the quarter ended March 31, 2011 unless otherwise indicated.

MOBILE MODULAR

For the first quarter of 2012, the Company’s Mobile Modular division reported a 29% decrease in income from operations to $4.0 million. Other direct costs increased 10% to $5.9 million and rental revenues increased 1% to $19.9 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 4% to $10.5 million. Sales revenues decreased 42% to $2.2 million with gross profit on sales revenues decreasing 33% to $0.7 million, primarily due to a higher mix of used equipment sales having higher margins compared to new equipment sales revenues in the first quarter of 2012. Selling and administrative expenses increased 9% to $8.5 million primarily as a result of increased investment in our Portable Storage growth initiative and increased salary and benefit costs.

TRS-RENTELCO

For the first quarter of 2012, the Company’s TRS-RenTelco division reported a 14% increase in income from operations to $7.4 million. Rental revenues increased 6% to $23.4 million. The increase in rental revenues together with a 1% decrease in depreciation to $9.3 million, partly offset by an 8% increase in other direct costs to $3.2 million, resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of 13% to $10.9 million. Sales revenues decreased 3% to $5.8 million with gross profit on sales increasing 2% to $2.7 million, primarily due to higher gross margins on used equipment sales revenues in the first quarter of 2012. Selling and administrative expenses increased 5% to $6.7 million primarily due to increased salary and benefit costs.

ADLER TANKS

For the first quarter of 2012, the Company’s Adler Tanks division reported a 36% increase in income from operations to $8.2 million. Rental revenues increased 33% to $16.2 million, which resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of 33% to $12.3 million. Rental related services revenues increased 59% to $3.7 million, with gross profit on rental related services increasing 189% to $0.9 million. Selling and administrative expenses increased 41% to $5.1 million, primarily due to increased salary and benefit costs and bad debt expense.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Debt decreased $4.4 million during the quarter to $292.1 million, with the Company’s funded debt (notes payable) to equity ratio decreasing from 0.89 to 1 at December 31, 2011 to 0.85 to 1 at March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had capacity to borrow an additional $162.9 million under its lines of credit.
  • Dividend rate increased 2% to $0.235 per share for the first quarter 2012 compared to the first quarter 2011. On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 3.2% yield on the May 2, 2012 close price of $29.28.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 7% to $37.0 million for the first quarter of 2012. At March 31, 2012, the Company’s ratio of funded debt to the last twelve months actual Adjusted EBITDA was 1.78 to 1 compared to 1.84 to 1 at December 31, 2011. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash stock-based compensation. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities can be found at the end of this release.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measures

To supplement the Company’s financial data presented on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company presents “Adjusted EBITDA”, which is defined by the Company as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash stock-based compensation. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA as a financial measure as management believes it provides useful information to investors 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 Company.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP measures to further evaluate the Company’s period-to-period operating performance, compliance with financial covenants in the Company’s revolving lines of credit and senior notes and evaluate the Company’s ability to meet future capital expenditure and working capital requirements. Management believes the exclusion of non-cash charges, including stock-based compensation, is useful in measuring the Company’s cash available for operations and the performance of the Company. Because management finds Adjusted EBITDA useful, the Company believes its investors will also find Adjusted EBITDA useful in evaluating the Company’s performance.

Adjusted 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 GAAP or as a measure of the Company’s profitability or liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA is not in accordance with or an alternative for GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Unlike EBITDA, which may be used by other companies or investors, Adjusted EBITDA does not include stock-based compensation charges. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is of limited use in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and does not accurately reflect real cash flow. In addition, other companies may not use Adjusted EBITDA or may use other non-GAAP measures, limiting the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of comparison. The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that the Company will not incur expenses that are the same as or similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The Company compensates for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of the Company’s performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC, the Company includes in the tables below reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
