McGrath RentCorp Announces Results for Fourth Quarter 2019

Company Announces 12% Dividend Increase; 29th Consecutive Year Increase

LIVERMORE, Calif., Feb. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ: MGRC) (the “Company”), a diversified business-to-business rental company, today announced total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 of $147.2 million, an increase of 11%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018.  The Company reported net income of $26.4 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to net income of $24.2 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2018.

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased to $570.2 million from $498.3 million in 2018, with income from operations increasing 20% to $141.4 million.  Net income for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased to $96.8 million, or $3.93 per diluted share, from $79.4 million, or $3.24 per diluted share, in 2018.

The Company also announced that the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.42 per share for the quarter ending March 31, 2020, an increase of $0.045, or 12%, over the prior year period.  The cash dividend will be payable on April 30, 2020 to all shareholders of record on April 15, 2020.  This marks the 29^th^ consecutive year the Company has increased its annual dividend.

FOURTH QUARTER 2019 COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Income from operations increased 9% year-over-year to $38.2 million.
  • Rental revenues increased 8% year-over-year to $92.2 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA^1^ increased 11% year-over-year to $63.7 million.
  • Dividend rate increased 10% year-over-year to $0.375 per share for the fourth quarter of 2019.  On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 1.9% yield on the February 24, 2020 close price of $78.54 per share.

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

“We were pleased with our fourth quarter 2019 results as our teams delivered impressive revenue and operating profit growth over the strong fourth quarter results of 2018.  The positive trends seen earlier in the year at Mobile Modular and TRS-RenTelco continued into the fourth quarter, more than offsetting weaker market demand conditions for Adler Tank Rentals.

Full year results reflected overall healthy demand for the markets we serve, coupled with continued focus on performance improvement and disciplined capital allocation.  Our 20% growth in income from operations was driven by strong rental operations revenue growth of 13% and a notably strong year for equipment sales revenues, which grew by 19%.

Looking ahead we expect overall business conditions to support further growth for the Company in 2020, despite softer demand conditions for Adler Tank Rentals.  We will maintain our focus on performance improvement and execution, and I believe that we will continue to build upon 2019’s successes.”

DIVISION HIGHLIGHTS:

All comparisons presented below are for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 to the quarter ended December 31, 2018 unless otherwise indicated.

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.
