McGrath Announces Results for Fourth Quarter 2025 and Announces 35th Annual Dividend Increase

TRS-RenTelco had an impressive quarter, as improved market conditions supported rental revenue growth of 13% over last year and strong used equipment sales. Demand was robust throughout the quarter, with a very modest seasonal slowdown at year end.

I appreciate the deep commitment, engagement and execution from our McGrath team members to deliver solid results for the year despite challenging non-residential construction demand conditions faced by our Modular and Portable Storage businesses. These results demonstrate the resilience of our people and our strategy. I am encouraged by our start to 2026 and confident that our teams are very focused on building on last year’s progress.”

DIVISION HIGHLIGHTS:

All comparisons presented below are for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 to the quarter ended December 31, 2024 unless otherwise indicated.

MOBILE MODULAR

For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company’s Mobile Modular division reported Adjusted EBITDA of $68.7 million, an increase of $7.7 million, or 13%, when compared to the same quarter in 2024.

• Rental revenues increased 2% to $83.3 million, depreciation expense increased 7% to $11.1 million, and other direct costs increased 3% to $19.1 million, which resulted in a comparable gross profit on rental revenues of $53.1 million.
• Rental related services revenues increased 10% to $35.5 million, primarily attributable to higher site related services and repair revenues, with associated gross profit increasing 23% to $14.2 million.
• Sales revenues decreased 1% to $55.4 million, due to lower new equipment sales, partly offset by higher used equipment sales. Gross margin on sales was 34% in 2025 compared to 26% in 2024, resulting in a 32% increase in gross profit on sales revenues to $18.8 million. The higher gross margin on sales was primarily attributed to a higher mix of used versus new sales during the quarter.
• Selling and administrative expenses decreased $0.6 million to $36.7 million, when compared to the prior year.

PORTABLE STORAGE

For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company’s Portable Storage division reported Adjusted EBITDA of $9.6 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 3%, when compared to the same quarter in 2024.

• Rental revenues increased 3% to $17.3 million, depreciation expense increased 6% to $1.1 million, and other direct costs increased 16% to $1.7 million, which resulted in an increase in gross profit on rental revenues of 2% to $14.5 million.
• Rental related services revenues increased 8% to $4.2 million, primarily attributable to higher delivery and return delivery activities, with gross loss increasing $0.4 million to $0.5 million in 2025.
• Sales revenues increased $0.3 million to $2.1 million, primarily from higher used equipment sales. Gross margin on sales was 37% compared to 36% in 2024, resulting in a 24% increase in gross profit on sales revenues to $0.8 million.

• Rental revenues increased 13% to $28.7 million, depreciation expense decreased 4%, and other direct costs increased 22%, resulting in a 26% increase in gross profit on rental revenues to $12.7 million. The rental revenue increase was primarily due to strengthened end markets, resulting in higher average rental equipment on rent and higher average monthly rental rates when compared to the prior year.
• Sales revenues increased 42% to $10.3 million and gross profit on sales revenues increased 58% to $6.6 million.
