LIVERMORE, Calif., July 29, 2026 --( BUSINESS WIRE )-- McGrath RentCorp ("McGrath" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: MGRC), a leading business-to-business rental company in North America, today announced total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 of $221.1 million, a decrease of 6% compared to the second quarter of 2025. The Company reported net income of $33.7 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to net income of $36.0 million, or $1.46 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2025. The decreases in net income and earnings per diluted share for the quarter were primarily attributed to lower gross profit on sales revenues when compared to the second quarter of 2025. SECOND QUARTER 2026 YEAR-OVER-YEAR COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS: Phil Hawkins, President and CEO of McGrath, made the following comments: "Our strong rental operations revenues were the highlight of the second quarter and we were pleased to see momentum building in our two largest rental businesses. Both Mobile Modular and TRS grew rental revenue and improved utilization sequentially while Portable Storage rental revenues were stable. Sales revenues for the quarter were lower than a year ago, due to lower sales at Enviroplex and Mobile Modular, as delays caused several new sales projects to shift to the second half of the year. Modular rental revenues increased 2% compared to last year, with continued growth from our commercial customer base. We experienced positive business momentum during the quarter, particularly with large commercial projects and progress with our regional expansion efforts. Shipments exceeded returns for each month of the quarter, and average utilization improved slightly from the first to second quarter. Portable Storage rental revenues were flat as commercial construction project activity remained soft. Higher costs for equipment preparation, trucking and sales coverage continued to pressure margins in the quarter. TRS-RenTelco had an impressive quarter, as strong market conditions supported 17% rental revenue growth. Demand was robust throughout the quarter, and the business benefited from projects supporting buildout of new data centers. Overall, we are encouraged by our progress. Modular utilization improvement and execution on our strategic growth initiatives in the quarter set us up well for the second half of the year. While there are still some challenges in the macro environment, we remain focused on the growth levers within our control." DIVISION HIGHLIGHTS: All comparisons presented below are for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 to the quarter ended June 30, 2025 unless otherwise indicated.
