LIVERMORE, Calif., Feb 23, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ:MGRC) (the "Company"), a diversified business to business rental company, today announced revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, of $79.9 million, an increase of 20%, compared to $66.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company reported net income of $12.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to net income of $8.9 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2010, were $291.4 million, compared to $275.6 million in 2009. Rental revenues increased 8% to $200.6 million in 2010 compared to $186.4 million in 2009. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased 9% to $36.5 million, compared to net income of $33.3 million in the prior year. Diluted earnings per share increased 7% to $1.50 in 2010 from $1.40 in 2009.

The Company also announced that the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share for the quarter ending March 31, 2011, an increase of 2% over the prior year period. On an annualized basis, the 2011 dividend represents a 3.6% yield based on the February 22, 2011 closing stock price. The cash dividend will be payable on April 29, 2011 to all shareholders of record on April 15, 2011.

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

"Our Company-wide 17% 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 3% for the same comparative period; however modular rental revenues were relatively flat from the third quarter 2010.

For our electronics division, rental revenues for the quarter increased by $2.7 million or 14% to $22.5 million from a year ago. However, income from operations increased 85% to $7.2 million. In addition to higher rental revenues, our electronics business also benefited from higher gross profit on equipment sales, and lower SG&A expenses from a year ago.

Our tank rental business nearly doubled rental revenues to $11.7 million for the quarter from $5.9 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 expansion of Adler's rental equipment inventory. Income from operations for the quarter was up over three-fold from a year ago to $5.9 million as the business continued to more fully leverage prior quarter new employee and other infrastructure investments.

Our modular division rental revenues for the fourth quarter decreased by $0.7 million, or 3%, to $20.8 million from a year ago. Rental revenues were relatively flat as compared to the third quarter of 2010 at $20.9 million. Income from operations for the quarter was down 13% from a year ago to $8.7 million; however, modular gross profit was down only 3%, in line with the rental revenue reduction. The higher percentage reduction in income from operations was due to higher SG&A expenses primarily associated with the continued expansion of our portable storage rental initiative.

Modular utilization at the end of the fourth quarter was relatively flat at 67.2% compared to 67.4% at the end of the third quarter. Quarterly average utilization has stayed within a very narrow range of approximately one-half percentage point throughout all of 2010. We believe that the flat utilization range throughout 2010, coupled with approximately a 2% increase in rental revenues in the second half of 2010 compared to the first half of the year, and higher business activity levels thus far in 2011 compared to a year ago, reflect an increasingly stable modular rental market. However, significant uncertainty remains in the California modular market due to continuing state fiscal and high unemployment rate challenges.

Our portable storage, environmental test equipment and Mid-Atlantic modular initiatives collectively had an annualized rental revenue run rate of just under $9.5 million based upon our fourth quarter 2010 results. This quarterly rental revenue run rate is approximately 85% higher than it was a year ago. Additionally, in the aggregate, these initiatives were profitable in the fourth quarter of 2010. Keep in mind that we have grown all of these initiatives very favorably through the Great Recession. As the general and regional economies recover, we are excited about the opportunities for further growth of these initiatives.

In 2010, we invested capital in new rental assets predominantly to support the expansion of Adler Tank Rentals and increased business levels for our electronics division and, to a lesser degree, to expand our portable storage, environmental test equipment and Mid-Atlantic modular initiatives. Overall in 2010, we had a net addition of $70 million in rental assets, paid over $21 million in dividends, and finished the year with a very healthy key borrowing metric of funded debt to the last twelve months actual adjusted EBITDA of 2.01 to 1.

Our 2010 fourth quarter net income of $12.7 million reflects our highest final quarter of the fiscal year in the Company's history. As we begin 2011, there is plenty to be excited about including: a) the growth potential of Adler Tank Rentals, b) an industry leadership position and the operating disciplines of our electronics business, c) the stabilization and higher rental activity of our modular business, and d) the momentum of our portable storage and environmental test equipment initiatives."

All comparisons presented below are for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 to the quarter ended December 31, 2009 unless otherwise indicated.

MOBILE MODULAR

For the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company's Mobile Modular division reported a 13% decrease in income from operations to $8.7 million. Rental revenues decreased 3% to $20.8 million and other direct costs increased 17% to $4.6 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 10% to $12.7 million. Sales revenues increased 30% to $5.5 million with gross profit on sales revenues increasing 36% to $1.5 million due to higher used equipment sales revenues in the fourth quarter of 2010. Selling and administrative expenses increased 12% to $7.1 million as a result of increased investment in our Mid-Atlantic and Portable Storage growth initiatives.

TRS-RENTELCO

For the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company's TRS-RenTelco division reported an 85% increase in income from operations to $7.2 million. Rental revenues increased 14% to $22.5 million, together with flat depreciation expense of $9.5 million and other direct costs increasing 5% to $3.3 million, resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of 37% to $9.7 million. Sales revenues increased 17% to $7.0 million with gross profit on sales increasing 24% to $2.7 million, primarily due to higher gross margins on used equipment sales revenues in the fourth quarter of 2010. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 3% to $5.6 million.

ADLER TANKS

For the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company's Adler Tanks division more than tripled its income from operations to $5.9 million. Rental revenues nearly doubled to $11.7 million, which resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of $4.8 million. Rental related services revenues increased 60% to $2.6 million, with gross profit on rental related services revenues increasing 115% to $0.6 million. Selling and administrative expenses increased 48% to $3.4 million, primarily due to increased salaries and benefits for additional sales and operational employees.

OTHER FOURTH QUARTERHIGHLIGHTS

  • Debt decreased $6.9 million during the quarter to $265.6 million, with the Company's funded debt (notes payable) to equity ratio decreasing from 0.97 to 1 at September 30, 2010 to 0.90 to 1 at December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had capacity to borrow an additional $101.4 million under its lines of credit.
  • Dividend rate increased 2% to $0.225 per share for the fourth quarter 2010 compared to the fourth quarter 2009. On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 3.5% yield on the February 22, 2011 close price of $25.79.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 23% to $39.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. At December 31, 2010, the Company's ratio of funded debt to the last twelve months actual Adjusted EBITDA was 2.01 to 1 compared to 1.94 to 1 at December 31, 2009. 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

The Company expects 2011 full-year earnings per share to be in a range of $1.52 to $1.62 per diluted share.

In 2011, the Company expects approximately 10% growth in rental revenues compared to 2010 and higher sales revenues. The Company expects rental revenue growth in each of its rental divisions, with strongest growth in Adler Tanks. However, a significant level of uncertainty remains in the California modular rental market. Rental equipment depreciation expense is expected to increase to $58 to $59 million, driven by rental fleet growth. Selling and administrative costs are expected to increase to approximately $77 to $79 million to support business growth, continued investment in Adler Tanks and our portable storage initiative, and removal of employee cost austerity measures in place during 2010. Full year interest expense is forecasted to be approximately $9 million. The Company expects the 2011 effective tax rate to be 39.2%. These forward-looking statements reflect McGrath RentCorp's expectations as of February 23, 2011. Actual 2011 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, 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.
