McGrath RentCorp Announces Results for Fourth Quarter 2016


Income from Operations increases 6%
EPS decreases 17% to $0.40 due to income tax expense increase
Company announces 2% dividend increase; 25th consecutive year increase

LIVERMORE, Calif., Feb. 28, 2017 (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, 2016 of $105.3 million, which was unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2015.  The Company reported net income of $9.7 million, or $0.40 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to net income of $11.5 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $424.1 million, compared to $404.5 million in 2015.  Rental revenues decreased 1% to $271.4 million in 2016, compared to $273.7 million in 2015, with income from operations increasing 3% to $79.3 million.  Net income for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased 5% to $38.3 million, compared to 2015.  Diluted earnings per share increased 1% to $1.60 in 2016 from $1.59 in 2015.  

The Company’s effective tax rate for the fourth quarter 2016 was 50.8% compared to 37.8% in the fourth quarter 2015.  This increase was driven by the full year 2016 effective tax rate rising to 42.9% as compared to 39.0 % for 2015, which increased the provision for income taxes in 2016 by $2.6 million and reduced earnings by $0.11 per diluted share in the fourth quarter results.  The increased effective tax rate in 2016 was primarily a result of a change in business mix by state and the decision to exit TRS-RenTelco’s branch operations in India.  Higher business levels in states with higher tax rates, in particular growth in California, and the resulting re-pricing of deferred tax liabilities accounted for approximately $1.6 million. In addition, the decision to exit branch operations in India accounted for approximately $0.7 million.  The Company estimates an effective tax rate of 40.0% for calendar year 2017.     

The Company also announced that the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per share for the quarter ending March 31, 2017, an increase of 2% over the prior year period.  On an annualized basis, the 2017 dividend represents a 2.7% yield, based on the February 27, 2017 closing stock price.  The cash dividend will be payable on April 28, 2017 to all shareholders of record on April 14, 2017. This marks the 25th consecutive year the Company has increased its annual dividend.

Fourth quarter operating profit increased 6% compared to a year ago as higher operating profit at Mobile Modular and Enviroplex was partly offset by lower operating profit at Adler Tank Rentals and TRS-RenTelco.

Modular division-wide rental revenues for the quarter increased $2.8 million, or 9%, to $34.5 million from a year ago.  Gross profit from rental revenues increased by 24% as rental revenue margins increased from 54% to 62%, partly due to lower equipment preparation expenses.  Modular division income from operations grew 27% to $13.2 million from a year ago as a result of 18% growth in total gross profit, primarily from higher gross profit from rental revenues, partly offset by higher SG&A expenses.  Modular division average rental equipment utilization for the quarter was flat compared to a year ago at 77.5%.

Mobile Modular Portable Storage continued to make good progress during the fourth quarter and grew rental revenues 13% 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 $1.9 million for the quarter, or 8%, to $20.7 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 19% while general-purpose increased 5% for the quarter compared to the same period a year ago.  Average equipment utilization was 62.3% compared to 61.2% in the same period in 2015.  Average rental rates declined for the quarter to 4.46% from 4.67% for the fourth 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 5% to $6.3 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 $1.2 million for the quarter, or 8%, to $15.1 million from a year ago but were up from $14.2 million in the third quarter of 2016.  Average utilization was 51.3% for the quarter compared to 54.0% a year ago, and 49.4% for the third quarter of 2016.  Fourth quarter average equipment on rent declined to $157 million from $166 million a year ago, but was up from $152 million in the third quarter of 2016.  Upstream oil and natural gas rental revenue declined from 11% of total Adler rental revenues in the fourth quarter of 2015 to 8% for the same period in 2016.  Weak demand in the upstream oil and natural gas market put 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 $2.1 million, or 48%, to $2.2 million from a year ago, primarily due to lower gross profit on rental revenues. 

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 full year 2016 income from operations to $79 million from $77 million in 2015.  Strong cash flows enabled the Company to reduce debt by $55 million, while paying dividends of $24 million and selectively deploying new capital to increase the size of the modular division rental equipment fleet by $32 million.

All comparisons presented below are for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 to the quarter ended December 31, 2015 unless otherwise indicated.

MOBILE MODULAR

For the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company’s Mobile Modular division reported a $2.8 million increase in income from operations, or 27%, to $13.2 million. Rental revenues increased 9% to $34.5 million, depreciation expense increased 7% to $5.4 million and other direct costs decreased 17% to $7.8 million, which resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of 24% to $21.3 million.  Rental related services revenues increased 4% to $12.2 million, with gross profit on rental related services revenues increasing 11% to $3.8 million. Sales revenues decreased 36% to $4.3 million, with gross profit on sales revenues decreasing 29% to $1.3 million, primarily due to lower new equipment sales in the fourth quarter of 2016.  Selling and administrative expenses increased 10% to $13.3 million, primarily due to higher allocated corporate expenses. 

TRS-RENTELCO

For the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company’s TRS-RenTelco division reported a $0.4 million decrease in income from operations, or 5%, to $6.3 million.  Rental revenues decreased 8% to $20.7 million, depreciation expense decreased 14% to $8.3 million and other direct costs increased 9% to $3.8 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 9% to $8.6 million.  Sales revenues decreased 24% to $4.5 million.  Gross profit on sales revenues increased 5% to $2.7 million, with gross margin percentage increasing to 60% from 43%, primarily due to higher margins on new and used equipment sales in the fourth quarter of 2016.  Selling and administrative expenses decreased 7% to $5.5 million, primarily due to lower bad debt expense.

ADLER TANKS

For the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company’s Adler Tanks division reported a $2.1 million decrease in income from operations, or 48%, to $2.2 million.  Rental revenues decreased 8% to $15.1 million, depreciation expense decreased 3% to $3.9 million and other direct costs increased 26% to $3.1 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 18% to $8.0 million.  Rental related services revenues decreased 6% to $6.0 million, with gross profit on rental related services decreasing 12% to $1.1 million. Selling and administrative expenses increased 1% to $6.8 million.

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.
