McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ:MGRC) (the "Company"), a diversified business-to-business rental company, today announced total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 of $145.4 million, an increase of 20%, compared to the first quarter of 2021. The Company reported net income of $18.8 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022, compared to net income of $17.4 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021.

FIRST QUARTER 2022 COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS:

Rental revenues increased 21% year-over-year to $104.2 million.
Total revenues increased 20% year-over-year to $145.4 million.
Adjusted EBITDA¹ increased 15% to $56.7 million.
Dividend rate increased 5% year-over-year to $0.455 per share for the first quarter of 2022. On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 2.1% yield on the April 27, 2022 close price of $84.88 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 first quarter results. The improved end market conditions we experienced at the start of the year continued through the first quarter and enabled us to deliver a 21% increase in companywide rental revenues, compared to the prior year. Modular rental revenues grew 32%, with approximately two-thirds of the growth attributable to our Design Space, Kitchens To Go and Titan Storage Container acquisitions. Excluding the acquisitions, the modular segment rental revenues grew by a healthy 11%. Rental revenues at TRS-RenTelco and Adler Tanks grew 5% and 17%, respectively.

Our modular business saw broad based strength across our commercial, education and portable storage customer bases. With stronger demand conditions than a year ago we have been spending robustly to prepare modular equipment for rent, and we have front loaded some of our new equipment capital spending. All of this indicates our improving confidence in rental opportunities for the year.

TRS-RenTelco and Adler Tanks also had a good start to the year. TRS-RenTelco saw growth in both communications and general purpose rentals during the first quarter, and experienced improving demand over the course of the quarter. Adler Tanks continued to experience broad-based demand improvement across its regions and vertical markets, compared to a year ago.

I am encouraged by the stronger business momentum we are seeing across the business. We are focused on effective execution to make the most of these improved market conditions."

DIVISION HIGHLIGHTS:

All comparisons presented below are for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 to the quarter ended March 31, 2021 unless otherwise indicated.

MOBILE MODULAR

For the first quarter of 2022, the Company's Mobile Modular division reported income from operations of $18.4 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 18%, with Adjusted EBITDA increasing $6.5 million, or 27%, to $30.4 million. Rental revenues increased 32% to $61.5 million, depreciation expense increased 35% to $7.8 million and other direct costs increased 57% to $20.2 million, which resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of 20% to $33.5 million. The rental revenue increase reflects the 2021 Design Space, Kitchens To Go, and Titan Storage Containers customers that contributed approximately two-thirds of the increase. Rental related services revenues increased 31% to $18.4 million, primarily attributable to higher delivery and pick up activities, and higher site related and other services performed during the lease with associated gross profit increasing 30% to $5.2 million. Sales revenues increased 36% to $10.4 million, from both higher new and used equipment sales. Gross margin on sales was 39% compared to 35% in 2021, resulting in a 51% increase in gross profit on sales revenues to $4.0 million. Selling and administrative expenses increased 28% to $24.7 million, primarily due to increased employee salaries and benefit costs totaling $2.8 million reflecting the addition of Design Space and Kitchens To Go employees, $1.4 million higher amortization of intangible assets associated with the Design Space and Kitchens To Go acquisitions and $1.6 million higher allocated corporate expenses.

TRS-RENTELCO

For the first quarter of 2022, the Company's TRS-RenTelco division reported income from operations of $8.1 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 4%, with Adjusted EBITDA increasing $0.3 million, or 1%, to $20.7 million. Rental revenues increased 5% to $28.5 million, depreciation expense increased 6% to $12.0 million and other direct costs increased 3% to $4.7 million, which resulted in a 4% increase in gross profit on rental revenues to $11.8 million. The rental revenue increase was the result of higher average equipment on rent and higher average monthly rental rates compared to the prior year. Sales revenues decreased 24% to $3.9 million and gross profit on sales revenues decreased 15% to $2.4 million. Selling and administrative expenses increased 5% to $6.6 million, primarily due to higher marketing and administrative expenses.

ADLER TANKS

For the first quarter of 2022, the Company's Adler Tanks division reported income from operations of $1.9 million, an increase of $1.2 million, with Adjusted EBITDA increasing $1.0 million, or 18%, to $6.7 million. Rental revenues increased 17% to $14.2 million, depreciation expense was comparable to the prior year and other direct costs increased 29% to $3.0 million, which resulted in an increased gross profit on rental revenues of 25%, to $7.2 million. The rental revenue increase was broad based across regions and vertical markets served. Rental related services revenues increased 8% to $5.3 million, with gross profit on rental related services decreasing 10%, to $0.9 million. Selling and administrative expenses increased 4% to $6.5 million primarily due to higher allocated corporate expenses.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK:

Based upon the Company's year-to-date results and current outlook for the remainder of the year, the Company confirms its financial outlook. For the full-year 2022, the Company expects:

•	Total revenue:	$675 million to $705 million
•	Adjusted EBITDA^1,2:	$260 million to $275 million
•	Gross rental equipment capital expenditures:	$117 million to $127 million

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash impairment costs and share-based compensation. A reconciliation of actual net income to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities can be found at the end of this release.
Information reconciling forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the provision for income taxes. Therefore, no reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measures is provided. The Company provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance because it believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with the Company's results under GAAP, provides useful information for the reasons noted in the reconciliation of actual Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measures at the end of this release.

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.
