McGrath Announces Results for Fourth Quarter 2023 and Announces 33rd Annual Dividend Increase
McGrath RentCorp (MGRC) reported strong financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023, with total revenues increasing by 21% and adjusted EBITDA rising by 28%. Net income from continuing operations also showed growth. The company declared a cash dividend increase for the upcoming quarter, marking 33 consecutive years of dividend growth.
Positive
Total revenues increased by 21% to $221.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.
Net income from continuing operations was $32.0 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $35.0 million, or $1.43 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 28% to $322.0 million for the full year ended December 31, 2023.
The board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.475 per share for the quarter ending March 31, 2024, a 2% increase over the prior year period.
Mobile Modular division reported an increase in Adjusted EBITDA by 27% to $54.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.
Portable Storage division reported an increase in Adjusted EBITDA by 20% to $12.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.
TRS-RenTelco division reported a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA by 18% to $20.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.
The reported increase in total revenues for McGrath RentCorp signifies a robust growth trajectory, particularly in the modular and portable storage sectors. This 21% year-over-year surge indicates a strong demand for rental solutions in commercial and educational markets, a trend that has likely been influenced by the dynamic shifts in the economy where businesses seek flexible and cost-effective alternatives to permanent structures. The strategic acquisition of Vesta Modular has evidently contributed substantially to this growth, which is a critical point for stakeholders as it showcases the company's ability to effectively integrate and capitalize on such investments.
Furthermore, the consistent increase in the company's annual dividend for 33 consecutive years provides a compelling narrative of financial stability and shareholder value, reinforcing investor confidence. However, the softness in the TRS-RenTelco division, particularly due to decreased demand in semiconductor-related markets, raises concerns about sector-specific vulnerabilities. This suggests a need for diversification and potential restructuring within the company's portfolio to mitigate risks associated with industry fluctuations.
Analyzing the financial performance and the adjusted EBITDA growth of McGrath RentCorp, which stands at 28% for the year, reflects strong operational efficiency and profitability. This metric is particularly relevant as it excludes non-operating expenses and provides a clearer picture of the company's earning potential. The increase in net income from continuing operations also points to effective cost management and pricing optimization strategies. The financial data suggests a positive outlook for the company's fiscal health, which may influence its stock market performance positively.
However, it is important to note the decrease in net income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter compared to the previous year, despite higher revenues. This could indicate rising costs or other financial pressures that may need to be addressed to sustain profitability. Investors should consider both the short-term fluctuations and the long-term growth trend when evaluating the company's performance.
The performance of McGrath RentCorp provides insights into broader economic trends, such as the increasing reliance on modular and portable solutions that reflect a shift towards temporary and adaptable infrastructure. This is indicative of a larger macroeconomic trend where businesses are seeking flexibility in response to uncertain economic conditions. The company's pricing optimization and fleet utilization strategies suggest a response to competitive pressures and the need for operational agility in a potentially volatile market.
However, the decline in the semiconductor-related demand within the TRS-RenTelco division aligns with the current global challenges faced by the semiconductor industry, including supply chain disruptions and cyclical downturns. This division's performance could serve as an economic indicator for the health of the tech sector and its ripple effects on related rental markets.

Rental revenues increased 19% to $123.6 million .

Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 12% to $87.9 million .
Dividend rate of $0.46 5 per share for the fourth quarter 2023. On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 1.4% yield on the February 20, 2024 close price of $128.65 per share.
Joe Hanna, President and CEO of McGrath, made the following comments:
“We were pleased with our fourth quarter results. Our 19% increase in companywide rental revenues was driven by strong modular and portable storage performance. Modular rental revenues grew 37% , with approximately two-thirds of the growth attributable to our Vesta Modular acquisition. Portable storage rental revenues grew 13% .
Our modular and portable storage businesses saw broad based rental strength across commercial and education customer bases. We maintained our focus on pricing optimization, rental fleet utilization, and value-added services for our customers. Our initiatives to grow modular sales also showed progress as sales revenues increased 21% compared to a year ago.
TRS-RenTelco experienced continued softness in semiconductor related demand, resulting in 11% lower rental revenues for the quarter, compared to a year ago. During the quarter we reduced new equipment capital spending and made progress with reducing the fleet size to better align with demand conditions.
I am very proud of everything we accomplished in 2023. Our full year revenue and profit growth reflects a diligent focus on execution. We pursued our strategic growth focus on the modular and portable storage businesses with significant organic investment in new fleet, while optimizing pricing and maintaining high fleet utilization. Our growth initiatives for Mobile Modular Plus, Site Related Services and new modular equipment sales all showed significant progress. Vesta Modular was a strong contributor to our successful year, and we completed all our Vesta integration work on schedule by year end.
The recently announced transaction with WillScot Mobile Mini validates the strength of the McGrath business, the hard work and dedication of our team members and the valuable solutions we provide to our customers. We will maintain our independent focus on disciplined operational execution through the transaction close."

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, share-based compensation and transaction costs. 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 and transaction costs, 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 and transaction costs. 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.
