Joe Hanna, President and CEO of McGrath, made the following comments:

"We delivered solid first quarter results. Companywide rental operations revenues grew 3%, sales revenues grew 11% and Adjusted EBITDA grew 3%.

Our modular business was a key contributor to the overall company performance. Despite softer market demand conditions than a year ago, rental revenues showed growth across both our commercial and education customer bases. We made progress growing our Mobile Modular Plus and Site Related Services initiatives, and our Enviroplex business had a strong quarter of new modular sales in the education market.

Weak demand conditions in Portable Storage continued, resulting in 13% lower rental revenues for the quarter, compared to a year ago. The weaker demand was broad-based across regions and was primarily a result of lower commercial construction project activity.

TRS-RenTelco had a positive start to the year, with quarterly rental revenues up slightly year over year for the first time since the first quarter of 2023. Improvement in market demand conditions was broad-based across customer segments.

Currently it is difficult to accurately assess the full impact of the recent tariff actions on the overall economy and our business. In light of the general economic uncertainty, we have a more cautious view of our business outlook for the second half of the year. In the meantime, we are focused on disciplined operational execution to make the most of the market opportunities."
