FOURTH QUARTER 2025 YEAR-OVER-YEAR COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS:
Joe Hanna, President and CEO of McGrath, made the following comments:
“We were pleased with our strong fourth quarter results. The 5% increase in companywide revenues and 14% increase in Adjusted EBITDA were driven by Mobile Modular and TRS-RenTelco.
Modular rental revenues increased 2% compared to last year, with growth driven by our commercial customer base. We continued to make progress with our long-term modular growth initiatives, Mobile Modular Plus and Site Related Services, and broadening our geographic coverage. Used equipment sales and Site Related Services contributed to higher gross profit for the quarter.
Portable Storage rental revenues grew 3%, benefiting from some incremental seasonal retail business. Commercial construction project activity remained soft, but we are hopeful that market demand conditions for this segment are showing signs of stabilization.
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.
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.
TRS-RENTELCO
For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company’s TRS-RenTelco division reported Adjusted EBITDA of $23.1 million, an increase of 21%, when compared to the same quarter in 2024.
FINANCIAL OUTLOOK:
For the full-year 2026, the Company expects:
2026 Outlook
2025 Actual
Total revenue:
$945 to $995 million
$944 million
Adjusted EBITDA 1, 2:
$360 to $378 million
$362 million
Gross rental equipment capital expenditures:
$180 to $200 million
$143 million
1.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash impairment costs, share-based compensation, transaction costs and non-operating transactions. A reconciliation of actual net income to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities can be found at the end of this release.
2.
Information reconciling forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the provision for income taxes. Therefore, no reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measures is provided. The Company provides Adjusted EBITDA guidance because it believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with the Company’s results under GAAP, provides useful information for the reasons noted in the reconciliation of actual Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measures 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 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, non-cash impairment costs, share-based compensation, transaction costs, gains on property sales and non-operating transactions. The gain on merger termination from WillScot Mobile Mini was considered a non-operating transaction and is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. 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 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 and non-recurring transactions, including share-based compensation, transaction costs, gains on property sales and non-operating transactions, 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, transaction costs, gains on property sales and non-operating transactions. 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.
