McGrath RentCorp Announces Results for First Quarter 2011

May 5, 2011 at 4:03 PM EDT
EPS increases 39% to $0.39 for the Quarter
Rental revenues increase 20%

LIVERMORE, Calif., May 05, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ: MGRC) (the "Company"), a diversified business to business rental company, today announced revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, of $73.0 million, an increase of 18%, compared to $61.7 million in the first quarter of 2010. The Company reported net income of $9.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2011, compared to net income of $6.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2010.

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

"Our Company-wide 20% increase in rental revenues for the quarter from a year ago reflects very favorable business activity and rental revenue increases in both our electronics and tank rental businesses. These very positive results were partly offset by our modular business rental revenues declining by 4% for the same comparative period.

For our electronics division, rental revenues for the quarter increased by $3.6 million or 19% to $22.1 million from a year ago. Income from operations nearly doubled to $6.5 million. In addition to higher rental revenues, our electronics business also benefited from higher gross profit on equipment sales and lower depreciation, laboratory and SG&A costs as a percentage of rental revenues from a year ago.

Our tank rental business more than doubled rental revenues to $12.2 million for the quarter from $6.0 million a year ago. The strong increase in rental revenues was directly related to higher business activity levels, supported by new branch locations, a larger sales force and an expansion of Adler's rental equipment inventory. Income from operations was up over three and one-half times from a year ago to $6.0 million as the business continued to more fully leverage prior quarter new employee and other infrastructure investments.

Our modular division rental revenues for the first quarter decreased by $0.8 million, or 4%, to $19.8 million from a year ago. Rental revenues grew by 4% quarter over quarter in our markets outside of California; however, they declined by 8% within the state. California continues to be plagued by fiscal and unemployment rate challenges. Income from operations declined by $1.9 million, or 26%, to $5.6 million. The higher percentage reduction in income from operations is primarily due to higher SG&A expenses associated with the continued expansion of our portable storage rental initiative, and higher inventory center costs outside of California for the preparation of equipment for rental. Modular utilization was down approximately one-half percentage point to 66.8% from the fourth quarter of 2010.

Modular booking levels for the first four months of 2011 are up favorably over a year ago, and from levels experienced in the later part of 2010. This increase is being driven by higher business activity levels outside of the California market. A great deal of uncertainty remains in the California modular market due to its continuing large budget deficit and high unemployment rate.

Our portable storage, environmental test equipment and Mid-Atlantic modular initiatives all continued to make good progress in their market penetration efforts and booking levels during the quarter.

We've recently completed a new issuance of senior notes that secured access to an additional $100 million of capital today, and up to an additional $100 million under a new shelf agreement. The notes have attractive terms, including a five-year average life, final maturity in April 2018 and an interest rate of slightly over 4%. By converting a portion of our current variable interest rate debt to fixed interest rate debt the Company's average interest rate in 2011 will likely increase while also providing greater interest rate certainty for 2011 and future years.

In support of favorable business activity levels during the first quarter of 2011 and a more promising outlook for the remainder of the year, we had a net addition of approximately $20 million in rental assets during quarter. This rental equipment is primarily for the growth of Adler Tank Rentals, and for our test equipment and portable storage businesses."

All comparisons presented below are for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 to the quarter ended March 31, 2010 unless otherwise indicated.

MOBILE MODULAR

For the first quarter of 2011, the Company's Mobile Modular division reported a 26% decrease in income from operations to $5.6 million. Rental revenues decreased 4% to $19.8 million and other direct costs increased 6% to $5.4 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 9% to $11.0 million. Sales revenues more than doubled to $3.9 million with gross profit on sales revenues increasing 53% to $1.0 million, primarily due to higher margins on new equipment sales revenues in the first quarter of 2011. Selling and administrative expenses increased 17% to $7.8 million 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 2011, the Company's TRS-RenTelco division reported a 98% increase in income from operations to $6.5 million. Rental revenues increased 19% to $22.1 million. The increase in rental revenues, partly offset by a 2% increase in depreciation to $9.4 million and a 4% increase in other direct costs to $3.0 million, resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of 52% to $9.7 million. Sales revenues increased 21% to $5.9 million with gross profit on sales increasing 51% to $2.6 million, primarily due to higher gross margins on used equipment sales revenues in the first quarter of 2011. Selling and administrative expenses increased 17% to $6.3 million due to increased salary and benefit costs.

ADLER TANKS

For the first quarter of 2011, the Company's Adler Tanks division more than tripled its income from operations to $6.0 million. Rental revenues more than doubled to $12.2 million, which resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of 135% to $9.3 million. Rental related services revenues increased 40% to $2.3 million, with gross profit on rental related services revenues flat at $0.3 million. Selling and administrative expenses increased 35% to $3.6 million, primarily due to increased salary and benefit costs.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Debt increased $0.1 million during the quarter to $265.8 million, with the Company's funded debt (notes payable) to equity ratio decreasing from 0.90 to 1 at December 31, 2010 to 0.88 to 1 at March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had capacity to borrow an additional $101.2 million under its lines of credit.
  • New senior notes issued April 21, 2011. The Company entered into an agreement for the issuance of $100 million of 4.03% unsecured senior notes. The debt has a five-year average life with a final maturity in April 2018. Proceeds from the offering were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facilities.
  • Dividend rate increased 2% to $0.23 per share for the first quarter 2011 compared to the first quarter 2010. On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 3.4% yield on the May 4, 2011 close price of $26.88.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 20% to $34.5 million for the first quarter of 2011. At March 31, 2011, the Company's ratio of funded debt to the last twelve months actual Adjusted EBITDA was 1.93 to 1 compared to 2.01 to 1 at December 31, 2010.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Given our solid first quarter results and encouraging signs for further growth in rental and sales revenues in 2011, the Company's bias is to increase its earnings guidance range. However, given the current significant California budget deficit and the lack of an imminent resolution to balance the budget, and in turn, the risks and potential negative impact to our modular business in California, the Company has elected at this time to leave its 2011 full-year guidance range unchanged at $1.52-$1.62 per diluted share. The Company will continue to revisit its annual guidance range for 2011 in the quarters ahead.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measures

To supplement the Company's financial data presented on a basis consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("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 to 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 Securities and Exchange Commission, 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.
