Rental revenues decrease 3%
Net income down 5%
EPS flat at $0.54 for the quarter

LIVERMORE, Calif., Nov. 01, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ:MGRC) (the “Company”), a diversified business-to-business rental company, today announced total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 of $122.0 million, an increase of 8%, compared to $113.0 million in the third quarter of 2015.  The Company reported net income of $12.9 million, or $0.54 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2016, compared to net income of $13.6 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2015.

Third quarter EPS was unchanged compared to a year ago as higher operating profit at Mobile Modular and Enviroplex, combined with the favorable effect of a lower dilutive share count, was offset by lower operating profit at Adler Tank Rentals and TRS-RenTelco.

Modular division-wide rental revenues for the quarter increased $3.1 million, or 10%, to $33.2 million from a year ago.  This is the fourteenth consecutive year over year quarterly rental revenue increase. However, gross profit from rental revenues increased by only 3% primarily due to higher building preparation expenses.  Modular division income from operations grew 4% from a year ago as a result of 9% growth in total gross profit, primarily from higher gross profit from sales revenues, partly offset by higher SG&A expenses.  Modular division average rental equipment utilization based on original cost for the quarter was flat compared to a year ago at 76.7%. 

Mobile Modular Portable Storage continued to make good progress during the third quarter and grew rental revenues 18% compared to the same period a year ago. Progress continued towards making each of the portable storage operating geographies increasingly successful.

Rental revenues for TRS-RenTelco declined $2.2 million for the quarter, or 10%, to $20.4 million from a year ago.  The year over year reduction in rental revenues was driven primarily by lower communications test equipment business activity and a continuing highly competitive environment.  Communications test equipment rental revenues declined by 21% while general-purpose increased 2% for the quarter compared to the same period a year ago.  Average equipment utilization was 61.2% compared to 61.0% in the same period in 2015.  Average rental rates declined for the quarter to 4.41% from 4.62% for the third quarter of 2015, primarily due to the business activity mix shift from communications to general-purpose test equipment as well as a highly competitive communications test equipment marketplace.  Income from operations declined 10% to $6.4 million as lower rental and sales revenues were partly offset by lower rental equipment depreciation, lower SG&A expenses and higher gross margins on equipment sales as compared to a year ago.

Rental revenues at Adler Tank Rentals declined $3.2 million for the quarter, or 19%, to $14.2 million from a year ago.  Average utilization and total original acquisition cost of rental equipment were 49.4% and $308 million, respectively, for the quarter compared to 58.6% and $306 million a year ago, and were unchanged compared to the second quarter of 2016.  Third quarter average equipment on rent declined to $152 million from $179 million a year ago, and was unchanged from the second quarter of 2016.  Average monthly rental rates decreased from 3.25% to 3.11% year over year.  The reduction in utilization from a year ago and the continuing downward pressure on pricing, especially for tank rental assets, are directly related to lower crude oil prices and the significant decline in wellhead related drilling and completions activity.  Upstream oil and natural gas rental revenue declined from 17% of total Adler rental revenues in the third quarter of 2015 to 9% for the same period in 2016.  These dynamics have put increasing downward pressure on 21K multi-purpose tank utilization and rental rates in upstream, midstream and downstream energy sectors, as well as in other market verticals. Income from operations for the quarter decreased $2.4 million, or 48%, to $2.7 million from a year ago.  The Company remains very cautious in its outlook for the liquid and solid containment rental business for the foreseeable future as market forces drive a material reset of both the oil and natural gas industries.

Despite very challenging end market conditions throughout the year for Adler Tank Rentals, and to a lesser extent TRS-RenTelco, positive results at Mobile Modular and Enviroplex enabled the Company to grow year to date income from operations to $56.6 million from $55.5 million a year ago.  Strong year to date cash flows have enabled the Company to reduce debt by $36 million, while paying dividends of $18.3 million and selectively deploying new capital to increase the size of the modular division rental equipment fleet by $26.9 million.

All comparisons presented below are for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 to the quarter ended September 30, 2015 unless otherwise indicated.

MOBILE MODULAR

For the third quarter of 2016, the Company’s Mobile Modular division reported a $0.5 million increase in income from operations, or 4%, to $12.7 million. Rental revenues increased 10% to $33.2 million, depreciation expense increased 7% to $5.3 million and other direct costs increased 30% to $9.7 million, which resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of 3% to $18.2 million.  Rental related services revenues decreased 4% to $13.7 million, with gross profit on rental related services revenues decreasing 12% to $3.7 million. Sales revenues increased 96% to $16.7 million, with gross profit on sales revenues increasing 109% to $4.1 million, due to higher new and used equipment sales in the third quarter of 2016.  Selling and administrative expenses increased 13% to $13.4 million, primarily due to increased employee headcount, salaries and employee benefit costs and higher allocated corporate expenses. 

TRS-RENTELCO

For the third quarter of 2016, the Company’s TRS-RenTelco division reported a $0.7 million decrease in income from operations, or 10%, to $6.4 million.  Rental revenues decreased 10% to $20.4 million, depreciation expense decreased 13% to $8.6 million and other direct costs increased 2% to $3.5 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 11% to $8.3 million.  Sales revenues decreased 11% to $4.8 million.  Gross profit on sales revenues increased 3% to $2.7 million, with gross margin percentage increasing to 57% from 49%, due to higher gross margins on new and used equipment sales in the third quarter of 2016. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 6% to $5.1 million, primarily due to lower marketing and administrative costs and corporate allocated expenses.

ADLER TANKS

For the third quarter of 2016, the Company’s Adler Tanks division reported a $2.4 million decrease in income from operations, or 48%, to $2.7 million.  Rental revenues decreased 19% to $14.2 million, depreciation expense decreased 1% to $4.0 million and other direct costs decreased 28% to $2.2 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 23% to $8.0 million.  Rental related services revenues decreased 14% to $5.8 million, with gross profit on rental related services decreasing 27% to $1.3 million. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 4% to $6.6 million, primarily due to lower corporate allocated expenses.

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 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.
