EPS Decreases 5% to $0.37 for the QuarterRental Revenues Decrease 6%Company Announces 2% Dividend Increase
LIVERMORE, Calif., Feb 24, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ:MGRC), a diversified business to business rental company, today announced revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, of $66.5 million, a decrease of 15%, compared to $78.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. The Company reported net income of $8.9 million, or $0.37 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2009, compared to net income of $9.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009, were $275.6 million, compared to $304.2 million in 2008. Rental revenues decreased 5% to $186.4 million in 2009 compared to $197.2 million in 2008. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased 19% to $33.3 million, compared to net income of $41.2 million in the prior year. EPS decreased 19% to $1.40 in 2009 from $1.72 in 2008. 2009 EPS benefited $0.02 from a lower effective tax rate of 38.3% compared to 39.1% in 2008 due to higher business levels in states with lower tax rates, primarily resulting from the first full year of the acquired Adler Tank operations.

The Company also announced that the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.225 per share for the quarter ending March 31, 2010, an increase of 2% over last year's same period. On an annualized basis, the 2010 dividend represents a 3.8% yield based on the February 23, 2010 closing stock price. The cash dividend will be payable on April 30, 2010, to all shareholders of record on April 16, 2010.

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

"Our quarter over quarter results reflect the continuing challenges of adverse macroeconomic conditions, an unsettled fiscal landscape in California and highly competitive market environments; however, our sequential quarterly results provide a more positive and accurate reflection of the health of McGrath RentCorp today.

Company wide rental revenues for the fourth quarter increased by approximately 3% over our third quarter levels to $47.1 million. Our electronic test equipment and tank rental businesses' rental revenues increased by approximately 7% and 19% respectively from third quarter 2009 results. These increases were partially offset by our modular rental business, which experienced a 5% reduction in rental revenues sequentially from the third quarter.

As a result of increased business activity levels in our electronics and tank rental businesses, combined with meaningful cost reductions in our modular inventory centers, gross margin on rents for the Company increased by 7% to $25.0 million in the fourth quarter compared to third quarter 2009 results.

In 2009, our newest organic initiatives in environmental test equipment and portable storage rentals, and the expansion of our modular business in the mid-Atlantic, all continued to grow favorably in a very difficult environment. We expect to see increased rental revenues from all of these growth engines during 2010.

We finished 2009 with favorable momentum in both our electronics and tank rental businesses. However, our modular business continues to face challenges in the California market related to the timing of bond sales and the funding of educational infrastructure projects, and school district austerity measures. The good news is that there is significant demand for the modernization of schools in California, with many projects "shovel ready". The challenge is the timing of state bond sales and the apportionment of both existing and new bond sales funds to specific school districts in order for them to begin their multi-year projects.

In 2009, we invested capital in new rental assets predominantly to support the expansion of our new tank rental business, sold underutilized or older technology test equipment assets in our electronics business, increased the dividend, and still managed to reduce our year over year debt level by $58 million, or 19%. We are comfortably within our key lending covenants and at the end of 2009 had the capacity to borrow an additional $132 million under our lines of credit to support future rental equipment purchases and other strategic growth opportunities.

There were numerous challenges to navigate during 2009 and, all things considered, I believe that McGrath RentCorp performed admirably. I am genuinely excited about the progress and potential that I am seeing from our new initiatives, the turnaround in our electronics business, the prospects for Adler Tank Rentals to become a very meaningful part of our earnings over the next few years, and our ability to weather the challenges in our modular business as we look forward to stronger markets in the future."

All comparisons presented below are to the quarter ended December 31, 2009 unless otherwise indicated.

MOBILE MODULAR

For the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company's Mobile Modular division reported a 26% decrease in income from operations to $10.0 million. Rental revenues decreased 17% to $21.5 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 17% to $14.1 million. Sales revenues decreased 20% to $4.3 million with gross profit on sales revenues decreasing 28% to $1.1 million due to lower new and used equipment sales revenues, and lower gross margins on new equipment sales in the fourth quarter 2009. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 16% to $6.3 million.

TRS-RENTELCO

For the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company's TRS-RenTelco division's income from operations was unchanged at $3.9 million. Rental revenues decreased 15% to $19.7 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 19% to $7.1 million. Sales revenues decreased 9% to $6.0 million with gross profit on sales increasing 50% to $2.2 million due to higher gross margins on new and used equipment sales revenues in 2009 compared to 2008. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 13% to $5.8 million.

ADLER TANKS

For the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company's Adler Tanks division, which was acquired on December 11, 2008, reported income from operations of $1.8 million. Rental revenues were $5.9 million, with gross profit on rental revenues of $3.8 million. Rental related services revenues were $1.6 million, with gross profit on rental related services revenues of $0.3 million. Selling and administrative expenses were $2.3 million.

OTHER FOURTH QUARTERHIGHLIGHTS

  • Debt decreased $14.2 million during the quarter to $247.3 million, with the Company's funded debt (notes payable) to equity ratio decreasing from 1.22 to 1 at December 31, 2008 to 0.92 to 1 as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had capacity to borrow an additional $131.7 million under its lines of credit.
  • Dividend rate increased 10% to $0.22 per share for the fourth quarter 2009 compared to the fourth quarter 2008. On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 3.7% yield on the February 23, 2010 close price of $23.66.
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased 9% to $31.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. At December 31, 2009, the Company's ratio of funded debt to the last twelve months actual Adjusted EBITDA was 1.94 to 1 compared to 2.15 to 1 at December 31, 2008. 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.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

With the weak economy and challenging outlook, the Company faces significant uncertainty in forecasting its annual outlook. The Company expects 2010 financial results to be driven by higher business activity levels in its TRS-RenTelco and Adler Tanks rental operations, offset by lower business levels in Mobile Modular. The Company expects full-year earnings per share to be in a range of $1.30 to $1.45 per diluted share.

In 2010, the Company expects low single digit percentage growth in rental revenues compared to 2009 and higher sales revenues. The Company expects higher rental revenues in its Adler Tanks and TRS-RenTelco rental operations, offset by lower rental revenues in Mobile Modular. Rental equipment depreciation expense is expected to be slightly lower than 2009. Selling and administrative costs are expected to increase by approximately $4.0 million compared to 2009 as a result of growth and continued investment in our tank and portable storage operations, and removal of some of the employee cost austerity measures implemented in 2009. Full year interest expense is forecasted to be approximately flat compared to 2009. The Company expects the 2010 effective tax rate to be 38.8%. These forward-looking statements reflect McGrath RentCorp's expectations as of February 24, 2010. Actual 2010 full-year earnings per share results may be materially different and affected by many factors, including those factors outlined in the "forward-looking statements" paragraph at the end of this press 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 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 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 we find 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 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. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable 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. Since 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.
