McGrath RentCorp Announces Results for Second Quarter 2009

August 6, 2009 at 4:04 PM EDT
EPS Decreases 29% to $0.30 for the QuarterRental Revenues Decrease 8%

LIVERMORE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 6, 2009-- McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ: MGRC), a diversified business to business rental company, today announced revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, of $66.5 million, a decrease of 10%, compared to $74.0 million in the second quarter of 2008. The Company reported net income of $7.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2009, compared to net income of $10.1 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2008.

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

“The continuing challenges of adverse macroeconomic conditions, an unsettled fiscal landscape in California and very competitive market environments, caused a reduction in operating income in each of our established business segments, partly offset by the addition of Adler Tank Rentals. The impact of these difficult market conditions continues to be reflected in lower rental rates and utilization levels, in particular for our modulars and electronic test equipment businesses.

Mobile Modular’s rental revenues decreased by 7% compared to the second quarter of 2008, however, income from operations increased by 3% for the same year over year period. The increase in income from operations was due to reduced material and labor costs in our inventory centers from lower business activity levels and extensive cost reduction efforts, and a large sale of equipment off rent during the quarter. The significant inventory center cost reductions allowed gross margin on rents to increase to 65% compared to 61% a year ago. Our modular rental business continued to be challenged by the California budget situation and its impact on school modernization project starts, and the reduced business activity levels in residential and non-residential construction.

TRS-RenTelco’s rental revenues and income from operations decreased 24% and 77%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2008. Equipment returns were significantly lower during the quarter as compared to the second half of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009. However, rental bookings were well below last year’s second quarter, but were modestly higher than the first quarter of 2009. We are hopeful that we may have seen a bottoming in our monthly rental billing rate with flat ending month levels in May and June. We continued to make progress during the quarter in selling lower utilized equipment and reducing depreciation expense to support future profitability. Depreciation expense for the second quarter of 2009 was approximately 11% lower than for our peak fourth quarter 2008 level.

Adler Tanks’ rental revenues and income from operations decreased 7% and 59%, respectively, during the second quarter, compared to the first quarter of 2009. Adler faced lower business activity levels and a very competitive market environment during the quarter. The markedly larger reduction in income from operations compared to rental revenues during the quarter is chiefly related to planned expenditures associated with expanding Adler Tank Rentals into the Northern and Southern California and Pittsburgh markets, and rental equipment purchases to support all branch locations. Although the difficult macroeconomic environment and some seasonality factors negatively impacted Adler’s top line during the second quarter of 2009, business activity levels picked up materially during the later part of the quarter and into the third quarter. We believe this increase in market demand and our investment in entering new geographies will be reflected in a stronger financial performance for our tank rental business in the second half of 2009.

Our goals for the balance of 2009 are to continue building our new rental initiatives while managing costs tightly, and paying down debt. In fact, we’ve reduced debt levels from $305 million at the end of 2008, to just under $269 million at the end of the second quarter.”

All comparisons presented below are to the quarter ended June 30, 2008 unless otherwise indicated.

MOBILE MODULAR

For the second quarter of 2009, the Company’s Mobile Modular division reported a 3% increase in income from operations to $12.2 million. Rental revenues decreased 7% to $23.5 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 1% to $15.4 million. Sales revenues increased 45% to $7.0 million with gross profit on sales increasing 61% to $2.1 million due to a higher mix of sales of used equipment having higher gross margins. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 1% to $7.1 million.

TRS-RENTELCO

For the second quarter of 2009, the Company’s TRS-RenTelco division reported a 77% decrease in income from operations to $1.4 million. Rental revenues decreased 24% to $17.8 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 49% to $5.0 million. Sales revenues decreased 29% to $5.3 million with gross profit on sales decreasing 26% to $1.6 million due to a lower mix of sales of new equipment. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 12% to $5.6 million.

ADLER TANKS

For the second quarter of 2009, the Company’s Adler Tanks division, which was acquired on December 11, 2008, reported income from operations of $0.6 million. Rental revenues were $3.7 million, with gross profit on rental revenues of $2.3 million. Rental related services revenues were $1.4 million, with gross profit on rental related services revenues of $0.4 million. Selling and administrative expenses were $2.1 million.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had capacity to borrow an additional $110.4 million under its lines of credit.
  • Dividend rate increased 10% to $0.22 per share for the second quarter 2009. On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 4.6% yield on the August 5, 2009 close price of $19.16.
  • Adjusted EBITDA decreased 12% to $30.3 million for the second quarter of 2009. At June 30, 2009, the Company’s ratio of funded debt to the last twelve months actual Adjusted EBITDA was 1.99 to 1.00 compared to 2.15 to 1.00 at December 31, 2008.

Actual 2009 full-year earnings per share results may be materially different since they are 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 minority interest in income of subsidiary, 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 and income from the minority interest in the Company’s Enviroplex subsidiary. 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.
