McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ:MGRC) today announced revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, of $86.3 million, an increase of 7%, compared to $80.8 million in the third quarter 2007. The Company reported net income for the third quarter 2008 of $11.6 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.9 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2007.
For the third quarter of 2008, the Company's Mobile Modular division reported a 1% increase in rental revenues to $26.1 million from $25.9 million in the third quarter 2007, with gross profit on rental revenues decreasing 5% to $15.7 million from $16.6 million in the third quarter 2007. Sales revenues decreased 4% from $13.3 million in the third quarter 2007 to $12.8 million, and gross profit on sales decreased 3% to $2.9 million in the third quarter 2008. Total gross profit decreased 8% from $23.0 million in the third quarter 2007 to $21.2 million in the third quarter 2008. Selling and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million to $7.7 million in the third quarter 2008. As a result, Mobile Modular's pre-tax income decreased 15% from $14.0 million to $11.8 million in the third quarter 2008.
For the third quarter of 2008, the Company's TRS-RenTelco division reported a 10% increase in rental revenues to $23.9 million from $21.7 million in the third quarter of 2007, with gross profit on rental revenues increasing 8% to $9.6 million from $8.9 million in the third quarter 2007. Sales revenues increased 73% from $3.7 million to $6.4 million in the third quarter 2008, with gross profit on sales increasing $1.7 million to $3.0 million from $1.3 million in the third quarter 2007. Total gross profit increased 22% from $10.7 million in the third quarter 2007 to $13.1 million in the third quarter 2008. Selling and administrative expenses increased $1.4 million to $6.3 million in the third quarter 2008. As a result, TRS-RenTelco's pre-tax income increased 20% from $4.9 million to $5.9 million in the third quarter 2008.
Dennis Kakures, President and CEO of McGrath RentCorp, made the following comments regarding these results:
"Although sound overall, our third quarter numbers reflect mixed results with continued favorable rental revenue growth in our electronics business, and various market challenges in our modulars division.
TRS-RenTelco had a solid third quarter with a 10% increase in rental revenues over last year's results. We continued to see favorable market conditions across a fairly broad base of customer segments, including communications network, aerospace and defense applications, and semiconductor and consumer electronics product development and manufacturing. Divisional pre-tax profit increasing approximately 20% for the quarter from a year ago reflects both higher rental and sale activity, offset by increased SG&A expenses, chiefly for personnel to support the organic launch of our new environmental test equipment business.
Mobile Modular's 1% increase in rental revenues over the third quarter of last year reflects growth in our Florida and Texas markets, offset by challenging commercial and educational markets in California. Divisional pre-tax profit decreasing approximately 15% for the quarter over last year was chiefly due to significantly lower residential construction business levels, a more competitive educational rental environment in California, lower rental related services activity, and increased SG&A expenses, mainly for personnel to support our modular expansion into North Carolina and Georgia.
The challenging overall business conditions have caused us to lower the profit forecast for our modular business in the fourth quarter. As a result we are revising our full year guidance to $1.70 to $1.75 per diluted share.
Looking ahead, while we have not yet completed our detailed plans for 2009 we currently expect the slowing economy will make it difficult for our existing operations to achieve growth in earnings per share next year. We believe that our rental divisions have solid market positions, generate significant cash flows and will weather an economic slowdown better than many businesses. In addition, we are continuing to invest in our strategic initiatives to add to our long-term growth opportunity."
THIRD QUARTER 2008 HIGHLIGHTS (AS COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 2007)
-- Rental revenues increased 5% to $50.0 million. Within rental revenues, Mobile Modular increased 1% from $25.9 million to $26.1 million; TRS-RenTelco increased 10% from $21.7 million to $23.9 million.
-- Sales revenues increased 17% to $26.3 million, resulting from higher sales volume in TRS-RenTelco and Enviroplex, partly offset by lower sales volume in Mobile Modular. The higher sales volume and higher gross margin percentage of 30.5% compared with 26.7% in 2007, resulted in a gross profit increase of $2.0 million. Sales revenues and related gross margins can fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending on customer requirements, equipment availability and funding.
-- Depreciation of rental equipment increased 9% to $14.6 million, with Mobile Modular increasing 6% to $3.4 million from $3.2 million in 2007, and TRS-RenTelco increasing 11% to $11.3 million from $10.2 million in 2007.
-- Debt decreased $12.4 million during the quarter to $222.3 million, with the Company's funded debt (notes payable) to equity ratio decreasing from 1.00 to 1 at June 30, 2008 to 0.91 to 1 as of September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had capacity to borrow an additional $168.7 million under its lines of credit.
-- Dividend rate increased 11% to $0.20 per share for the third quarter 2008, as compared to $0.18 per share for the third quarter of 2007. On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 3.5% yield on the November 5, 2008 close price of $22.88.
-- Adjusted EBITDA increased 2% to $37.9 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $37.2 million for the third quarter of 2007. At September 30, 2008, the Company's ratio of funded debt to the last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA was 1.54 compared to 1.63 at June 30, 2008. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before minority interest in income of subsidiary, interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash stock-based compensation. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities can be found 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company presents Adjusted EBITDA which is defined by the Company as net income before minority interest in income of subsidiary, interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash stock-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 and evaluate the Company's ability to meet future capital expenditure and working capital requirements. Management believes the exclusion of non-cash charges, including stock-based compensation, is useful in measuring the Company's cash available to operations and the performance of the Company. Because we find 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 nona^'GAAP measures used by other companies. Unlike EBITDA which may be used by other companies or investors, Adjusted EBITDA does not include stock-based compensation charges and income from the former minority interest in the Company's Enviroplex subsidiary. 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. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable 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. Since Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company includes in the tables below reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
