LIVERMORE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 29, 2012-- McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ: MGRC) (the “Company”), a diversified business to business rental company, today announced revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 of $85.2 million, an increase of 7%, compared to $79.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The Company reported net income of $13.2 million, or $0.53 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to net income of $12.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $342.7 million, compared to $291.4 million in 2010. Rental revenues increased 17% to $234.9 million in 2011 compared to $200.6 million in 2010. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased 36% to $49.6 million, compared to net income of $36.5 million in the prior year. Diluted earnings per share increased 33% to $2.00 in 2011 from $1.50 in 2010.

The Company also announced that the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.235 per share for the quarter ending March 31, 2012, an increase of 2% over the prior year period. On an annualized basis, the 2012 dividend represents a 2.9% yield, based on the February 28, 2012 closing stock price. The cash dividend will be payable on April 30, 2012 to all shareholders of record on April 16, 2012.

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

“Our Company-wide 14% increase in rental revenues for the quarter from a year ago reflects very favorable business activity and rental revenue increases in both our tank and electronics rental businesses.

Our tank and box division rental revenues increased 46% to $17.2 million for the quarter, from $11.7 million a year ago. The strong increase in rental revenues was directly related to higher business activity levels and continued expansion of Adler’s rental equipment inventory. Income from operations was up 63% from a year ago to $9.6 million, as the business further leveraged existing employee and facility infrastructure, and also benefited from its base of longer term rentals.

Our electronics division rental revenues for the quarter increased by $2.9 million, or 13%, to $25.3 million from a year ago. Income from operations increased by $1.3 million, or 18%, to $8.6 million. In addition to higher rental revenues, our electronics business also benefited from lower depreciation and laboratory costs as a percentage of rental revenues, as well as slightly higher gross profit on equipment sales from a year ago.

Modular division rental revenues for the fourth quarter decreased by $0.5 million, or 2%, to $20.3 million from a year ago. Rental revenues grew by 15% quarter over quarter in our markets outside of California; however, they declined by 12% within the state. California continues to be plagued by fiscal and budgetary challenges. Quarter over quarter income from operations decreased by 30% from a year ago to $6.1 million; however, modular rental operations gross profit declined only 7%, more closely in line with the reduction in rental revenue. The higher percentage reduction in income from operations was due primarily to higher SG&A expenses associated with the continued expansion of our portable storage rental business and divisional employee costs, as well as lower gross profit on equipment sales.

Our portable storage and environmental test equipment businesses both continued to make good progress in their market penetration, booking levels, and rental revenue growth during the quarter. We continue to work hard to grow both of these initiatives.

During 2011, we had a net addition of over $101 million in original cost of rental assets. These rental products are primarily for the growth of Adler Tank Rentals, and for our test equipment and portable storage businesses. I am very pleased to share that McGrath RentCorp achieved a key milestone in January, 2012, in reaching $1.0 billion in original cost of rental equipment under management. Overall, McGrath RentCorp’s 33% increase in EPS for 2011 over 2010 validates the strategy and prudency of a platform of diverse rental products and geographies.”

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

MOBILE MODULAR

For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company’s Mobile Modular division reported a 30% decrease in income from operations to $6.1 million. Rental revenues decreased 2% to $20.3 million and other direct costs increased 2% to $4.7 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 5% to $12.1 million. Sales revenues decreased 34% to $3.6 million, with gross profit on sales revenues decreasing 42% to $0.9 million due to lower used equipment sales revenues in the fourth quarter of 2011. Selling and administrative expenses increased 15% to $8.1 million, primarily as a result of increased investment in our portable storage growth initiative.

TRS-RENTELCO

For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company’s TRS-RenTelco division reported an 18% increase in income from operations to $8.6 million. Rental revenues increased 13% to $25.3 million, which together with flat depreciation expense of $9.5 million and other direct costs increasing from $3.3 million to $3.4 million, resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of 28% to $12.5 million. Sales revenues increased 2% to $7.1 million, with gross profit on sales increasing 4% to $2.8 million, primarily due to higher gross margins on used equipment sales revenues in the fourth quarter of 2011. Selling and administrative expenses increased 24% to $7.0 million, primarily due to increased salary and benefits costs.

ADLER TANKS

For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company’s Adler Tanks division reported a 63% increase in income from operations to $9.6 million. Rental revenues increased 46% to $17.2 million, which resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of 56% to $13.4 million. Rental related services revenues increased 46% to $3.8 million, with gross profit on rental related services revenues doubling to $1.2 million. Selling and administrative expenses increased 46% to $5.0 million, primarily due to increased personnel and benefits costs and bad debt expenses.

OTHER FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

• Debt increased $6.9 million during the quarter to $296.5 million, with the Company’s funded debt (notes payable) to equity ratio decreasing from 0.90 to 1 at September 30, 2011 to 0.89 to 1 at December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had capacity to borrow an additional $158.5 million under its lines of credit.
• Dividend rate increased 2% to $0.23 per share for the fourth quarter 2011 compared to the fourth quarter 2010. On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 2.8% yield on the February 28, 2012 close price of $32.37.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 8% to $42.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s ratio of funded debt to the last twelve months actual Adjusted EBITDA was 1.84 to 1 compared to 2.01 to 1 at December 31, 2010. 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 2012 full-year earnings per share to be in a range of $2.02 to $2.12 per diluted share.

In 2012, the Company expects approximately 8% to 10% growth in rental operations revenues over 2011 and sales revenues comparable to 2011. The Company expects strongest revenue 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 $65 to $66 million, driven by rental fleet growth. Selling and administrative costs are expected to increase to approximately $84 to $86 million to support business growth, and continued investment in Adler Tanks and our portable storage initiative. Full year interest expense is forecasted to be approximately $9 million. The Company expects the 2012 effective tax rate to be 39.2% and the diluted share count to increase to approximately 25.3 to 25.7 million shares. These forward-looking statements reflect McGrath RentCorp’s expectations as of February 29, 2012. Actual 2012 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 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 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 GAAP.
