McGrath RentCorp Third Quarter 1996 Form 10-Q Page 4 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1996 ____________________________________________ 1. The consolidated financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 has not been audited, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals, consolidation and eliminating entries) necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of McGrath RentCorp (the "Company") have been made. The consolidated results of the nine months ended September 30, 1996 should not be considered as necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest Form 10-K. 2. The number of outstanding shares and equivalent shares used in the earnings per common share calculations were as follows: Primary Fully Diluted --------- ------------- Three months ended: September 30, 1996 7,586,204 7,597,150 September 30, 1995 7,958,848 7,960,787 Nine months ended: September 30, 1996 7,701,993 7,734,126 September 30, 1995 8,158,890 8,166,221 3. In May 1996, the Company's unsecured line of credit agreement (the "Agreement") with its banks was amended to extend the expiration date of the Agreement to June 30, 1997. In addition to extending the expiration date, the amendment requires the Company to maintain shareholders' equity of not less than $70,000,000 plus 50% of all net income generated subsequent to December 31, 1995 plus 90% of any new stock issuance proceeds (restricted equity as of September 30, 1996 is $75,595,000). McGrath RentCorp Third Quarter 1996 Form 10-Q Page 5 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995 The Company has experienced a significant increase in orders during the three months ended September 30, 1996 primarily related to a law enacted on July 15, 1996 in California which provided operational funding for a reduction of classroom size for kindergarten through third grade to 20 pupils and additional legislation which made available $200 million of state funds for facilities to accomplish that goal. The law requires that the new classrooms be in place by February 1997 to be eligible for the state funding. Rental revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased slightly over the same periods in 1995. For the nine month period, the $1,794,715 increase in rental revenues from electronics was offset by a $745,979 decline in rental revenues from relocatable modular offices. The rental revenue decline for modulars is primarily due to an increase in rental customers electing to purchase modulars they had on rent and to the return of modular equipment related to several large expired leases during the first part of 1996. Average utilization for the first nine months declined for modular equipment, from 74.6% to 70.5%, and remained the same for electronic equipment (55.2%), as compared to the same period in 1995. However, as a result of the significant volume of shipments to school districts during August and September 1996, modular utilization has increased to 74.9% as of September 30, 1996 from 71.0% as of December 31, 1995. Rental revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 reflect only a partial quarter of rental revenues associated with the modular equipment shipped in August and September 1996. Rental related services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased $887,765 (29%) and $840,211 (12%), respectively, over the same periods in 1995. The nine month increase was primarily due to additional site requirements and the significant increase in the movement of modular equipment to school districts. Sales and related services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased $5,149,110 (125%) and $8,117,285 (71%), respectively, over the same periods in 1995. Of the nine month increase in sales and related services, $4,964,022 relates to the Company's modular equipment, $2,164,259 relates to the Company's majority owned subsidiary, Enviroplex, Inc., which manufactures and sells portable classrooms directly to school districts and $989,004 relates to electronic test and measurement equipment. The significant increase in modular equipment sales and related services is due to a high number (17) of large sales in 1996 of both new and used relocatable modular equipment amounting to $4,050,881. Of the sales of modular equipment through September 30, 1996, 33% are new and 67% are used. As of September 30, 1996, the largest single sale was for $1,517,337 by Enviroplex, Inc. to a school district consisting of McGrath RentCorp Third Quarter 1996 Form 10-Q Page 6 manufactured portable classrooms of various sizes. Sales and related services from quarter to quarter have fluctuated depending on customer requirements. Gross margin on sales and related services for the nine month period was 32% in 1996 compared with 33.0% in 1995. Depreciation on rental equipment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased $177,916 (6%) and $656,405 (8%), respectively, over the same periods in 1995 due to the increases in electronics rental equipment. Other direct costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 have increased $496,177 (39%) and $261,678 (7%) respectively, compared to the same periods in 1995 due to material and repair costs directly related to the modular equipment movement during the third quarter of 1996. Selling and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased $1,114,165 (32%) and $1,984,914 (20%), respectively, over the same periods in 1995. However, during the first quarter of 1995, the Company recognized an acceleration of $330,000 in additional leasehold improvement expense related to a rented facility in Southern California in which the lease was terminated. Excluding this 1995 nonrecurring expense, selling and administrative expenses increased $2,314,914 (23%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. The nine month increase is primarily due to increases in staffing levels for sales and support, personnel costs, temporary contract labor to assist in the preparation of modular offices for potential lease and sale opportunities, and increases in the expenses of the Company's majority owned subsidiary, Enviroplex, Inc. The increase in expenses are net of the reduction in facilities rental expense due to the relocation of modular office operations in Southern California and Texas to owned facilities. Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased $958,143 (27%) and $1,242,452 (12%), respectively, over the same periods in 1995. Earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased 34%, from $0.44 to $0.59, and 19%, from $1.22 to $1.45, over the comparative 1995 period as a result of higher earnings and fewer outstanding shares. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. The debt (notes payable) to equity ratio was 0.54 to 1 at September 30, 1996 compared to 0.43 to 1 at December 31, 1995. The debt (total liabilities) to equity ratio at the end of the current period was 1.21 to 1 as compared to 1.04 to 1 as of December 31, 1995. The Company continues to make purchases of shares of its common stock from time to time in the over-the-counter market (NASDAQ) and/or through privately negotiated, large block transactions under an authorization of McGrath RentCorp Third Quarter 1996 Form 10-Q Page 7 the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors believes that the repurchase of its shares continues to be a good investment for the Company. Shares repurchased by the Company will be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued stock. From January 1, 1996 thru November 7, 1996, the Company repurchased a total of 420,550 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $8,778,775 or an average price of $20.87 per share. As of November 7, 1996, 387,200 shares remain authorized for repurchase. The Company's primary use of funds is to purchase rental equipment, and funds will continue to be used for this purpose in the future. Additionally, the Company plans to make further improvements to the land at their inventory facility located in Northern California. The Company also pays quarterly dividends, which will constitute an additional use of cash in 1996. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION On August 30, 1996 the Company declared a quarterly dividend on its Common Stock; the dividend was $0.14 per share. Subject to its continued profitability and favorable cash flow, the Company intends to continue the payment of quarterly dividends. The Company's loan agreement with the Bank prohibits payment of dividends in excess of 50% of net income in any one year without the bank's consent. ITEM 6.
