McGrath Announces Results for Second Quarter 2024

LIVERMORE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--McGrath RentCorp (“McGrath” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MGRC), a leading business-to-business rental company in North America, today announced total revenues from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 of $212.6 million, an increase of 5% compared to the second quarter of 2023. The Company reported net income from continuing operations of $20.6 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024, compared to net income from continuing operations of $28.0 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023.

SECOND QUARTER 2024 YEAR-OVER-YEAR COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS (FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS):

• Rental revenues increased 3% to $121.2 million.
• Total revenues increased 5% to $212.6 million.
• Selling and administrative expenses increased 31% to $61.4 million primarily due to $12.4 million in transaction costs attributable to the pending merger with WillScot Mobile Mini, which decreased 2024 net income from continuing operations by $0.36 per diluted share.
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ increased 9% to $83.7 million.
• Dividend rate of $0.475 per share for the second quarter 2024. On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 1.7% yield on the July 24, 2024 close price of $111.63 per share.

Joe Hanna, President and CEO of McGrath, made the following comments:

“We were pleased with our second quarter results. The 5% increase in companywide revenues was driven by higher rental operations and sales revenues.

Our modular business was the highlight for the quarter, with 10% rental revenue growth. Rental revenues grew across our commercial and education customer bases. We maintained our focus on pricing optimization, rental fleet utilization, and value-added services for our customers. Growth initiatives for Mobile Modular Plus, Site Related Services and new modular equipment sales all continued to show progress.

Portable storage demand conditions were weaker than a year ago, resulting in 4% lower rental revenues for the quarter, compared to a year ago. The weaker demand was primarily a result of lower commercial construction project activity.

TRS-RenTelco experienced continued demand challenges, resulting in 11% lower rental revenues for the quarter, compared to a year ago. During the quarter we maintained disciplined new equipment capital spending and made progress with reducing the fleet size to better align with demand conditions.

I appreciate the strong commitment from the McGrath employee team as we maintain our independent focus on disciplined execution during the pending WillScot Mobile Mini transaction."

DIVISION HIGHLIGHTS:

All comparisons presented below are for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 to the quarter ended June 30, 2023 unless otherwise indicated.

MOBILE MODULAR

For the second quarter of 2024, the Company’s Mobile Modular division reported Adjusted EBITDA of $53.4 million, an increase of $8.9 million, or 20%, when compared to the same quarter in 2023.

• Rental revenues increased 10% to $78.0 million, depreciation expense increased 6% to $10.0 million, and other direct costs decreased 9% to $21.3 million, which resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of 23% to $46.8 million.
• Rental related services revenues increased 4% to $28.9 million, primarily attributable to higher delivery and pick-up activities and higher site related services, with associated gross profit decreasing 3% to $9.1 million.
• Sales revenues decreased 6% to $35.9 million, primarily from lower new equipment sales. Gross margin on sales was 38% in 2024, compared to 31% in 2023, resulting in a 17% increase in gross profit on sales revenues to $13.8 million. The increase in gross margin on sales was primarily attributed to a higher mix of used versus new sales during the quarter.
• Selling and administrative expenses increased $11.2 million to $42.3 million. Included within selling and administrative expenses was $11.3 million higher allocated corporate costs, which included $9.0 million in allocated transaction costs attributed to the pending merger with WillScot Mobile Mini.

PORTABLE STORAGE

For the second quarter of 2024, the Company’s Portable Storage division reported Adjusted EBITDA of $11.0 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 11%, when compared to the same quarter in 2023.

• Rental revenues decreased 4% to $17.8 million, depreciation expense increased 15% to $1.0 million, and other direct costs decreased 10% to $1.5 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 4% to $15.3 million.
• Rental related services revenues were $4.6 million and gross profit on rental related services revenues was $0.2 million, which was down from $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2023.
• Sales revenues increased $0.2 million to $1.3 million, primarily from higher used equipment sales. Gross margin on sales was 43% compared to 38% in 2023, resulting in a $0.1 million increase in gross profit on sales revenues to $0.6 million.
• Selling and administrative expenses increased $1.7 million to $8.9 million, primarily due to higher allocated corporate expenses, which included $1.4 million in allocated transaction costs attributed to the pending WillScot Mobile Mini merger.

TRS-RENTELCO

For the second quarter of 2024, the Company’s TRS-RenTelco division reported Adjusted EBITDA of $18.0 million, a decrease of 16%, when compared to the same quarter in 2023.

• Rental revenues decreased 11% to $25.3 million, depreciation expense decreased 9%, and other direct costs decreased 6%, resulting in a 16% decrease in gross profit on rental revenues to $9.0 million. The rental revenue decrease was primarily due to continued weakness in end markets, resulting in lower average rental equipment on rent compared to the prior year.
• Sales revenues decreased 22% to $5.8 million and gross profit on sales revenues decreased 23% to $3.1 million.
• Selling and administrative expenses increased 19%, to $8.5 million, primarily due to higher allocated corporate expenses, which included $1.9 million in transaction costs attributed to the pending merger with WillScot Mobile Mini.

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, share-based compensation, transaction costs and gains on property sales. 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 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 and non-recurring transactions, including share-based compensation, transaction costs and gains on property sales 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, transaction costs and gains on property sales. 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.
