July 30, 2019 at 4:01 PM EDT

LIVERMORE, Calif., July 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ: MGRC) (the “Company”), a diversified business-to-business rental company, today announced total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 of $127.4 million, an increase of 9%, compared to the second quarter of 2018.  The Company reported net income of $19.5 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019, compared to net income of $15.9 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018. 

SECOND QUARTER 2019 COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Income from operations increased 19% year-over-year to $29.1 million.

  • Rental revenues increased 14% year-over-year to $88.1 million.

  • Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 15% year-over-year to $52.4 million.   

  • Dividend rate increased 10% year-over-year to $0.375 per share for the second quarter of 2019.  On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 2.3% yield on the July 29, 2019 close price of $64.80 per share.

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

“For the second quarter, each of our divisions continued to perform well as companywide rental revenues increased 14% and operating profit increased 19%.  Our $4.6 million operating profit growth was driven by a $6.2 million rental gross profit increase, that fully offset a $2.6 million sales gross profit decrease. We are pleased with the positive momentum in our business as we take advantage of favorable economic conditions and continue to implement our strategy of performance improvement. 

Mobile Modular rental revenues for the quarter increased 17% from a year ago, driven by improvement in average rental rates, a larger fleet and improved utilization.  Activity in each of our operating geographies was healthy in both commercial and education markets.  Portable Storage rental revenues grew by 16%.  Sales revenues decreased year over year, due primarily to project timing.

TRS-RenTelco rental revenues for the quarter increased 15%, primarily driven by higher average rental equipment and improved utilization.  Demand for both communications and general purpose test equipment has been healthy, including some increased initial activity related to 5G.

Adler Tank Rentals rental revenues for the quarter increased 6% from a year ago driven primarily by higher rental rates, partly offset by lower utilization.  Five of six industry vertical markets increased year-over-year on broad-based demand. 

The first half of the year is complete and we are pleased with the execution of our strategy.   At this time, our order backlogs and activity levels remain healthy. We enter the second half of 2019 on a positive note and upwardly revised financial outlook.  Our focus on performance improvement and prudent capital allocation continues.”

1. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash impairment costs and share-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.

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, non-cash impairment costs and share-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 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 SEC, 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.
