MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 Rental revenues for the first quarter of 1996 increased by $483,699, a 4% increase over the same period in 1995. The rental revenue increase from electronics of $819,584 was offset by a $335,885 decline in rental revenues from relocatable modular offices. Average utilization during the first quarter declined for electronic equipment from 56.7% to 54.7% and modular equipment from 75.5% to 70.0% compared to the same period in 1995. Rental related services for the three months ended March 31, 1996 decreased $372,352, an 18% decrease from the same period in 1995. The decrease was due primarily to fewer site work requirements experienced in 1996 and less incentive fees earned during the quarter for equipment management. Sales and related services for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased $944,535, a 27% increase, compared to the same period in 1995. Sales and related services from quarter to quarter have fluctuated depending on customer requirements. Gross margins on sales and related services declined from 34% in 1995 to 31% in 1996. Selling and administrative expenses increased $307,787 (9%) for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 primarily due to increased staffing levels and personnel costs. Income before provision for taxes decreased $161,575 (3%) for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from the same period in 1995 with after tax income decreasing $103,392 (3%). Earnings per share for the quarter increased from $0.38 per share to $0.39 per share as a result of fewer outstanding shares. McGrath RentCorp First Quarter 1996 Form 10-Q Page 6 Liquidity and Capital Resources. The debt (notes payable) to equity ratio was 0.42 to 1 at March 31, 1996 compared to 0.43 to 1 at December 31, 1995. The debt (total liabilities) to equity ratio at the end of the current period and as of December 31, 1995 was 1.04 to 1. The Company continues to make purchases of shares of its common stock from time to time in the over-the-counter market (NASDQ) and/or through privately negotiated, large block transactions under an authorization of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors believes the Company's shares are currently undervalued by the market and that the repurchase of its shares is a good investment for the Company at this time. Shares repurchased by the Company will be cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued stock. From January 1, 1996 thru May 1, 1996, the Company has repurchased a total of 225,700 shares of common stock with an aggregate cost of $4,377,324 or an average price of $19.39 per share. As of May 1, 1996, 269,300 shares remain authorized for repurchase. The Company's primary use of funds is to purchase rental equipment, and funds will continue to be used for this purpose in the future. Additionally, the Company plans to make further improvements to the land at their inventory facility located Northern California. The Company also pays quarterly dividends, which will constitute an additional use of cash in 1996. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 5.
