Exhibit 99.1 McGrath RentCorp Announces Results for Second Quarter 2006; Q2 EPS of $0.34; Rental Revenues Increase 12% LIVERMORE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2006--McGrath RentCorp (NASDAQ:MGRC) today announced revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, of $60.7 million, a decrease of 5%, compared to $63.9 million in the second quarter 2005. The Company reported net income for the second quarter 2006 of $8.7 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to $9.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the second quarter 2005. During the second quarter 2006, the Company recorded a $0.9 million reduction to the provision for income taxes, or $0.03 per diluted share, due to the reduction in the Company's deferred tax liability as a result of a franchise tax law change enacted by the state of Texas in May 2006. The reduction in taxes was partly offset by $0.7 million of non-cash stock compensation expense included in the second quarter 2006 results due to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment", ("SFAS No. 123R") effective January 1, 2006. For the Company's Mobile Modular division, pre-tax income decreased 21% to $8.3 million from $10.5 million in the second quarter 2005. Rental revenues increased 10%, or $2.0 million to $21.6 million, offset by lower rental margins resulting in gross profit on rents decreasing 2% to $11.9 million from $12.2 million in second quarter 2005. Lower rental margins were the result of increased inventory center labor and material costs to prepare a higher volume of buildings to meet increased demand for commercial projects and California classroom inventory for the upcoming school year, and higher depreciation expense due to the 13% increase in average rental equipment. Sales revenues decreased $3.9 million with gross profit decreasing $0.6 million. Total gross profit decreased 3% from $16.6 million in second quarter 2005 to $16.2 million in second quarter 2006. Selling and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million to $5.9 million in the second quarter 2006, primarily due to higher personnel and benefit costs to support increased rental activity levels and $0.4 million of non-cash stock compensation expense related to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. Allocated interest expense increased $0.7 million due to higher average interest rates and average debt levels to support higher rental equipment purchases. For the Company's TRS-RenTelco division, pre-tax income was $4.7 million for the second quarter 2006 and 2005. Rental revenues increased 14% to $19.6 million compared to $17.2 million in the second quarter of 2005 with gross profit on rents increasing 29% to $8.2 million from $6.4 million in the second quarter 2005. Sales revenues decreased $3.9 million resulting in $1.1 million lower gross profit on sales due to lower used equipment sales volume as a result of having less underutilized rental equipment to sell. Selling and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million due primarily to non-cash stock compensation expense related to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R. Allocated interest expense increased $0.3 million due to higher average interest rates and average debt levels experienced by the Company. "Second quarter results were below our expectations," stated Dennis Kakures, President & CEO. "Our results reflected a reduction in both modular and electronics equipment sales, the most difficult element in our businesses to forecast, and a reduction in gross profit on rents for modulars due to higher inventory center expenses. Based on our results to date and our current forecast for the remainder of the year, we are reducing our 2006 guidance range to $1.42 to $1.49 per diluted share. "While we are disappointed in our results for the quarter, we are very pleased with the growth of rental revenues which is the key metric of our business. Rental revenues for electronics grew quarter over quarter at 14% and modulars at 10%. Strong growth in rental assets typically speaks very favorably of our outlook for higher rental revenue and profitability levels in the quarters ahead. Accordingly, thus far in 2006 we increased the original cost of rental assets by 14%, or $21 million for electronics and 8% or $31 million for modulars. "TRS-RenTelco's second quarter rental revenue results are a reflection of the continuing improved market conditions that we spoke to during our first quarter conference call. We are continuing to see favorable market conditions in the third quarter to date. It's important to note that the increase in rental business activity levels is across a broad range of product segments and markets that we believe is reflective of an increasingly positive outlook for the longer term health of our test equipment rental business. We are proactively purchasing the latest technology test equipment to support the increased demand we are seeing. "Pre-tax profit for TRS-RenTelco was flat compared to a year ago mainly due to lower sales levels as a result of having less underutilized equipment to sell. Sales levels can fluctuate quarter to quarter based upon available equipment, customer demand and funding. However, the success of our rental operations is what provides the most significant and consistent earnings horsepower. With the gross profit on rents increasing 29% to $8.2 million, our highest quarter since the merger, our electronics rental business is beginning to find its stride. As we have emphasized over the years, growth in rental revenues, assets and gross profit on rents provide the most visibility into the longer term earnings capability of our test equipment rental business. "Mobile Modular's increase in rental revenues over the second quarter of 2005 is primarily related to classroom shipments in the third and fourth quarters of last year. We should experience a full 12 months of rental revenues in 2006 on the great majority of the classroom orders shipped in the second half of 2005. We had another strong first half of the year in classroom rentals and expanding our school customer base in the Florida market. Florida continues to have very favorable student population growth and will be active for many years ahead in implementing class size reduction for all grade levels. We are buying significant quantities of classrooms to support the demand for additional educational space in Florida. "In California, we had satisfactory classroom rental booking levels during the first half of the year. However, as expected, they were not up to the level of the past few years due to the limited availability of state bond monies for school modernization projects. With the passage of a state-wide facilities bond measure in November 2006, we should see increased educational rental opportunities beginning in early 2007. The need to modernize schools in California continues to be high and we are positioning ourselves to take full advantage of the anticipated increased opportunity levels in 2007. Additionally, in the second quarter, we experienced a considerably higher level of commercial rental opportunities, mainly driven by increased business activity in residential and commercial construction. Our broad inventory and ability to customize buildings within our inventory centers enabled us to book a favorable level of commercial opportunities during the second quarter. We should see favorable rental revenue growth in the third quarter as a result of classroom shipments and the increased level of commercial rental activity. "The decline in modulars pre-tax profit of 21% from a year ago stems chiefly from an increase in inventory center expenses and lower sales revenue. "In the second quarter, we experienced approximately a $2 million increase in inventory center expenses. This resulted from our continued efforts in preparing off rent classroom inventory for future rental, as well as the increase in commercial business activity levels and the need to modify or convert equipment for specific applications. Additionally, due to increased market demand for commercial buildings, we employed a larger than normal number of subcontractors, at higher labor rates compared to our in-house staff. It's important to note that although the great majority of the expenses to prepare equipment are fully absorbed in our second quarter results, the rental revenue benefit will be recognized over the quarters ahead. We also experienced higher than customary field service expenses during the quarter. While field service issues occur from time to time, this was a larger than normal effort with the majority of expenses incurred in the second quarter. We should see marked improvement in our modular operating profit levels beginning in the third quarter with gross margin on rents expected to return to the 60% or higher range as inventory center expenses decline and rental revenues increase. "Although modular sales revenues fell short of our expectations for the quarter, we do not believe this presents any significant concern for our modular business' longer-term earnings outlook. We view sales as a byproduct of being in the rental business and although we are actively engaged in selling both new and used equipment, we focus our sales force on rentals which carry approximately twice the margin as sales and provide a much more stable and enduring income stream. Rental revenue growth is truly our economic engine. "The rental markets for both electronics and modulars continue to be very favorable as reflected in double-digit rental revenue growth for the quarter for each division and our level of investment in new rental assets year to date. Our focus on creating sustainable earnings growth over the long-term through an increasing base of rental customers and higher rental revenues remains steadfast." SECOND QUARTER 2006 HIGHLIGHTS (AS COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 2005) -- Rental revenues increased 12% to $41.2 million. Within rental revenues, Mobile Modular increased 10% from $19.6 million to $21.6 million; TRS-RenTelco increased 14% from $17.2 million to $19.6 million. -- Sales revenues decreased 42% to $11.8 million, resulting from lower sales volume at Mobile Modular, TRS-RenTelco and Enviroplex. Lower sales volume was offset by a higher gross margin percentage of 27.3% in 2006 compared to 26.3% in 2005, resulting in a gross profit decrease of $2.1 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 5% to $11.3 million, with Mobile Modular increasing 18% to $2.6 million from $2.2 million in 2005, and TRS-RenTelco increasing 2% to $8.7 million from $8.5 million in 2005. -- Provision for income taxes was reduced $0.9 million during the second quarter 2006 to record the impact to the Company's deferred tax liability from a franchise tax law change enacted by the state of Texas in May 2006. As a result, the Company's effective tax rate was 32.1% for the second quarter 2006 compared with 38.0% during the same period in 2005. Excluding the impact of the Texas law change, the provision for income taxes was based on an effective tax rate of 39.0%. -- Debt increased $13.0 million during the quarter to $189.5 million, with the Company's total liabilities to equity ratio increasing from 1.68 to 1 at March 31, 2006 to 1.71 to 1 as of June 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2006, the Company, under its lines of credit, had capacity to borrow an additional $65.5 million. -- Dividend rate increased 14% to $0.16 per share for the second quarter 2006, as compared to $0.14 per share for the second quarter of 2005. On an annualized basis, this dividend represents a 2.4% yield on the August 2, 2006 close price of $26.35.
