McGrath RentCorp Announces Results for Third Quarter 2018

LIVERMORE, Calif., Oct. 30, 2018 (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, 2018 of $143.1 million, an increase of 6%, compared to the third quarter of 2017.  The Company reported net income of $24.8 million, or $1.01 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2018, compared to net income of $16.8 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017. 

THIRD QUARTER 2018 COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS:

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

“We were very pleased with our execution across the business in the third quarter.  We realized a healthy 11% growth in rental revenues and delivered an 18% improvement in operating profit, despite additional expenses in the third quarter to get equipment ready for rent.  Our pipelines remain strong and we are well positioned as we enter the fourth quarter to finish 2018 favorably.

Mobile Modular rental revenues for the quarter increased 14% from a year ago, and operating profit grew 21%.  Rental rates increased 9%, as growth continued to be strong across commercial and education markets in most regions.  We experienced strong third quarter shipments, with average utilization improving 3% and ending the quarter above 79%.  Demand for containers in our Portable Storage division was also strong and we are realizing growth in all regions.

TRS-RenTelco rental revenues for the quarter increased 6% and operating profit grew 8% from a year ago.  Testing demand for general purpose equipment as well as communications equipment was favorable, supported by R&D work in labs and infrastructure development as carriers prepare their networks for future 5G rollout.  Rental rates decreased 2% primarily due to mix changes between general purpose and communications equipment.

Adler Tank Rentals rental revenues for the quarter increased 13% and operating profit grew 30% from a year ago.  Rental rates increased 2% and utilization improved 9% during the quarter with utilization rising to 64% at quarter end.  Five of our six industry segments realized rental revenue growth with upstream oil and gas exploration continuing to feed demand.

Our drive to improve performance continues.  This quarter we again demonstrated our ability to scale on our cost structure and improve margins to deliver strong operating profit growth.  Utilization gains in both Mobile Modular and Adler, combined with prudent investment in new fleet, reflect continued effort to deploy fleet we already own.  Based on our strong third quarter performance, and positive trends entering the fourth quarter, we are increasing our guidance for the full year of 2018.”

DIVISION HIGHLIGHTS:

All comparisons presented below are for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 to the quarter ended September 30, 2017 unless otherwise indicated.

MOBILE MODULAR

For the third quarter of 2018, the Company’s Mobile Modular division reported income from operations of $19.2 million, an increase of $3.4 million, or 21%.  Rental revenues increased 14% to $41.2 million, depreciation expense increased 1% to $5.3 million and other direct costs increased 13% to $10.7 million, which resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of 17% to $25.2 million.  Rental related services revenues increased 10% to $16.2 million, with associated gross profit increasing 2% to $3.7 million.  Sales revenues decreased 2% to $17.1 million.  Gross margin on sales decreased to 24% from 27% in 2017 primarily due to lower margins on used equipment sales, resulting in a 13% decrease in gross profit on sales revenues to $4.2 million.  Selling and administrative expenses decreased 2% to $14.3 million.

TRS-RENTELCO

For the third quarter of 2018, the Company’s TRS-RenTelco division reported income from operations of $7.7 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 8%.  Rental revenues increased 6% to $22.2 million, depreciation expense increased 10% to $9.1 million and other direct costs increased 12% to $3.8 million, which resulted in a comparable gross profit on rental revenues of $9.4 million.  Sales revenues decreased 7% to $4.5 million.  Gross margin on sales increased to 63% from 51% in 2017 primarily due to higher margins on used equipment sales, resulting in a 16% increase in gross profit on sales revenues to $2.9 million.  Selling and administrative expenses decreased 4% to $5.2 million, primarily due to lower bad debt expense.

ADLER TANKS

For the third quarter of 2018, the Company’s Adler Tanks division reported income from operations of $5.5 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 30%.  Rental revenues increased 13% to $18.7 million, depreciation expense increased 1% to $4.0 million and other direct costs increased 23% to $3.2 million, which resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of 16% to $11.5 million.  Rental related services revenues increased 9% to $6.9 million, with gross profit on rental related services decreasing 2% to $1.5 million.  Selling and administrative expenses increased 4% to $7.6 million primarily due to increased employee headcount, salaries and employee benefit cost.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK:

Based upon the Company’s year-to-date results and current outlook for the remainder of the year, the Company is raising its financial outlook and expects its 2018 total operating profit to increase 18% to 21% above 2017 results, as compared to our prior expectation of an 11% to 15% increase.

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 (if applicable) 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.
