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

"We delivered solid third quarter results, with rental revenue growth in each of our operating segments, despite some challenging market demand conditions. Sales revenues for the quarter were lower than a year ago, but cumulatively higher year to date reflecting a more balanced contribution by quarter than last year.

Modular rental revenues increased 2% compared to last year, with growth from our commercial customer base. Given current utilization levels, we reduced rental equipment capital spending and focused on preparing available fleet to satisfy new shipments which increased operating expenses for the quarter.

Portable Storage rental revenues grew 1%, which was its first year over year growth since the first quarter of 2024. We are encouraged that market conditions for this segment are showing signs of stabilization despite soft commercial construction project activity.

TRS-RenTelco had a strong quarter, with rental revenues up 9% over last year. Consistent with the second quarter, improvement in market demand conditions was broad-based across customer segments.

I am pleased with our year-to-date progress. We have delivered business growth, lowered our capital spending to align with market conditions, increased contributions from our modular services offerings, and broadened our geographic sales coverage. We have good momentum entering the fourth quarter and we remain focused on delivering a strong finish to the year."

DIVISION HIGHLIGHTS:

All comparisons presented below are for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 to the quarter ended September 30, 2024 unless otherwise indicated.

MOBILE MODULAR

For the third quarter of 2025, the Company's Mobile Modular division reported Adjusted EBITDA of $64.6 million, a decrease of $6.8 million, or 10%, when compared to the same quarter in 2024.

• Rental revenues increased 2% to $83.2 million, depreciation expense increased 7% to $10.8 million, and other direct costs increased 18% to $24.2 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 5% to $48.2 million. The increase in other direct costs was primarily due to higher labor and material costs incurred during 2025 to prepare equipment to meet customer rental demand.
• Rental related services revenues increased 5% to $44.5 million, primarily attributable to higher site related services when compared to 2024, with associated gross profit decreasing 2% to $14.7 million.
• Sales revenues decreased 21% to $52.3 million, due to lower new equipment sales. Gross margin on sales was 36% in 2025, compared to 34% in 2024, resulting in a 16% decrease in gross profit on sales revenues to $18.8 million. The higher gross margin on sales was primarily attributed to a higher mix of used versus new sales during the quarter.
• Selling and administrative expenses increased $1.4 million to $35.4 million, primarily due to $1.2 million higher allocated corporate expenses when compared to 2024.

PORTABLE STORAGE

For the third quarter of 2025, the Company's Portable Storage division reported Adjusted EBITDA of $9.2 million, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 14%, when compared to the same quarter in 2024.

• Rental revenues increased 1% to $17.3 million, depreciation expense increased 5% to $1.1 million, and other direct costs increased 65% to $2.2 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 4% to $14.0 million.

• Sales revenues increased $1.3 million to $2.7 million, primarily from higher used equipment sales. Gross margin on sales was 40% in 2025, compared to 36% in 2024, resulting in a $0.6 million increase in gross profit on sales revenues to $1.1 million.
• Selling and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million to $7.9 million in 2025, primarily due to a $0.5 million increase in employee salaries and benefits and $0.3 million higher allocated corporate expenses when compared to 2024.

For the third quarter of 2025, the Company's TRS-RenTelco division reported Adjusted EBITDA of $20.2 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 7%, when compared to the same quarter in 2024.

• Rental revenues increased 9% to $28.0 million, depreciation expense decreased 8%, and other direct costs increased 10%, resulting in a 28% increase in gross profit on rental revenues to $12.1 million. The rental revenue increase was primarily due to the continued strengthening of end markets, resulting in higher average rental equipment on rent compared to the prior year.
