McGrath RentCorp Announces Results for First Quarter 2017
COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS:
- Income from operations increased 11% year-over-year to
$15.8 million . - Rental revenues increased 2% year-over-year to
$68.0 million . - Adjusted EBITDA1 increased
$0.1 million to $36.3 million for the first quarter of 2017. - Dividend rate increased 2% year-over-year to
$0.26 per share for the first quarter of 2017. On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 3.0% yield on theMay 1, 2017 close price of$34.72 per share.
“We were pleased with our first quarter performance as each of our rental businesses achieved higher operating profit and contributed to the Company’s 11% operating profit increase compared to a year ago.
Mobile Modular rental revenues for the quarter increased 8% from a year ago as fleet utilization, rental rates and equipment on rent all increased. Rental revenue growth was healthy across education and commercial markets, as well as our Portable Storage business.
TRS-RenTelco rental revenues for the quarter declined 6%, driven primarily by lower communications test equipment business activity in what continues to be a highly competitive environment. Communications test equipment rental revenues declined by 15%, but were partly offset by a 3% increase for general-purpose test equipment. While average equipment utilization increased, average rental rates declined for the quarter, primarily due to the business activity mix shift from communications to general-purpose test equipment.
Adler Tank Rentals rental revenues for the quarter increased 1% from a year ago. Upstream oil and natural gas rental revenue declined from 11% to 6% of total Adler rental revenues, but was more than offset by growth in other market verticals. Average equipment on rent increased to
During the quarter we continued our return on invested capital (or ROIC) work to identify initiatives that should improve long term Company performance, and we invested selectively in new rental equipment for modular buildings, portable storage units and general-purpose electronic test equipment.
While end market conditions remain challenging for Adler Tank Rentals, and to a lesser extent TRS-RenTelco, we are encouraged by our first quarter results and we will be working hard to build upon this good start to the year.”

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
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 the Company’s ability to meet future capital expenditure and working capital requirements. Management believes the exclusion of non-cash charges, including share-based compensation, is useful in measuring the Company’s cash available for operations and 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 share-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
