The Company also announced that the board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.485 per share for the upcoming quarter ending March 31, 2025, a quarterly increase of $0.01, or 2%, over the prior year period. The cash dividend will be payable on April 30, 2025 to all shareholders of record on April 16, 2025. This marks 34 consecutive years the Company has increased its annual dividend.

FOURTH QUARTER 2024 YEAR-OVER-YEAR COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS (FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS):

  • Rental revenues increased 1% to $124.2 million.
  • Sales revenues increased 37% to $80.3 million.
  • Total revenues increased 10% to $243.7 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 5% to $92.0 million.
  • Dividend rate of $0.475 per share for the fourth quarter 2024. On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 1.6% yield on the February 18, 2025 close price of $122.22 per share.

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

“We were pleased with our fourth quarter results. The 10% increase in companywide revenues and 5% increase in Adjusted EBITDA were driven by growth at Mobile Modular.

Our modular business had a good quarter, with 8% rental revenue growth. Rental revenues grew across both commercial and education customer bases. We maintained our focus on pricing optimization, rental fleet utilization, and value-added services for our customers. Growth initiatives for Mobile Modular Plus, Site Related Services and new modular equipment sales all continued to show progress.

Portable Storage weak demand conditions continued, resulting in 15% lower rental revenues for the quarter, compared to a year ago. The weaker demand was broad-based across regions and was primarily a result of lower commercial construction project activity.

TRS-RenTelco experienced continued demand challenges, resulting in 9% lower rental revenues for the quarter, compared to a year ago. During the quarter we maintained discipline with respect to new equipment capital spending and made progress with reducing the fleet size to better align with demand conditions.

I appreciate the strong execution from the McGrath team to deliver solid results for the year despite the demand headwinds at Portable Storage and TRS-RenTelco. I am encouraged by our start to 2025 and confident that our teams are very focused on building on last year’s successes.”

DIVISION HIGHLIGHTS:

All comparisons presented below are for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 to the quarter ended December 31, 2023 unless otherwise indicated.

MOBILE MODULAR

For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company’s Mobile Modular division reported Adjusted EBITDA of $61.0 million, an increase of $6.9 million, or 13%, when compared to the same quarter in 2023.

  • Rental revenues increased 8% to $82.1 million, depreciation expense increased 7% to $10.4 million, and other direct costs increased 2% to $18.5 million, which resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of 11% to $53.2 million.
  • Rental related services revenues increased 5% to $32.1 million, primarily attributable to higher delivery and pick-up activities and higher site related services, with associated gross profit increasing 5% to $11.6 million.
  • Sales revenues increased 32% to $56.0 million, primarily from higher new equipment sales. Gross margin on sales was 26% in 2024 compared to 32% in 2023, resulting in a 5% increase in gross profit on sales revenues to $14.3 million.
  • Selling and administrative expenses decreased $1.4 million to $35.8 million, when compared to the prior year.

PORTABLE STORAGE

For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company’s Portable Storage division reported Adjusted EBITDA of $9.9 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 22%, when compared to the same quarter in 2023.

  • Rental revenues decreased 15% to $16.7 million, depreciation expense increased 7% to $1.0 million, and other direct costs decreased 12% to $1.5 million, which resulted in a decrease in gross profit on rental revenues of 17% to $14.2 million.
  • Rental related services revenues decreased 24% to $3.9 million, primarily attributable to lower delivery and return delivery activities.
  • Sales revenues increased $0.1 million to $1.8 million, primarily from higher used equipment sales. Gross margin on sales was 36% compared to 38% in 2023, resulting in a 1% increase in gross profit on sales revenues to $0.6 million.
  • Selling and administrative expenses decreased $1.1 million to $7.1 million, when compared to the prior year.

TRS-RENTELCO

For the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company’s TRS-RenTelco division reported Adjusted EBITDA of $19.1 million, a decrease of 8%, when compared to the same quarter in 2023.

  • Rental revenues decreased 9% to $25.4 million, depreciation expense decreased 12%, and other direct costs increased 2%, resulting in a 10% decrease in gross profit on rental revenues to $10.2 million. The rental revenue decrease was primarily due to continued weakness in end markets, resulting in lower average rental equipment on rent compared to the prior year.
  • Sales revenues increased 26% to $7.3 million and gross profit on sales revenues increased 32% to $4.2 million.
  • Selling and administrative expenses decreased 11%, to $6.6 million, when compared to the prior year.

1.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash impairment costs, share-based compensation, transaction costs and non-operating transactions. 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.

2.

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, non-cash impairment costs, share-based compensation, transaction costs, gains on property sales and non-operating transactions. The gain on merger termination from WillScot Mobile Mini was considered a non-operating transaction and is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. 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 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 and non-recurring transactions, including share-based compensation, transaction costs, gains on property sales and non-operating transactions, 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, transaction costs, gains on property sales and non-operating transactions. 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.
