AMERCO Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2019 Financial Results
RENO, Nev., Nov. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- AMERCO (Nasdaq: UHAL), parent of U-Haul International, Inc., Oxford Life Insurance Company, Repwest Insurance Company and Amerco Real Estate Company, today reported net earnings available to shareholders for its second quarter ended September 30, 2018, of $163.5 million, or $8.35 per share, compared with net earnings of $124.6 million, or $6.36 per share, for the same period last year.
For the six-month period ended September 30, 2018, net earnings available to shareholders were $291.4 million, or $14.87 per share, compared with net earnings of $250.8 million, or $12.81 per share, for the same period last year.
"Growth in equipment rental revenue and occupied storage rooms continued during the quarter and we have the capacity for additional improvement," stated Joe Shoen, chairman of AMERCO. "Truck sales are improving, returning some revenue and expense that was in the third quarter last year into this second quarter. Discretionary personnel bonus amounts that were recognized in the second quarter last year have not yet been determined. We have lots of work to do and are about it."
Highlights of Second Quarter Fiscal 2019 Results
- Self-moving equipment rental revenues increased $41.2 million or 6% during the second quarter of fiscal 2019, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2018 from improvements in both One-way and in-town markets. Sales of our Safemove and related protection packages contributed to the revenue growth. Compared with the same period last year, we increased the number of Company-owned locations, along with box trucks, trailers and towing devices in the rental fleet.
- Self-storage revenues increased $11.0 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2019, compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2018. The average monthly amount of occupied square feet increased by 11% during the second quarter of fiscal 2019 compared with the same period last year. The growth in revenues and square feet rented comes from a combination of improved occupancy at existing locations as well as the addition of new facilities to the portfolio. Over the last twelve months, we have added approximately 4.4 million net rentable square feet or a 15% increase to our owned self-storage portfolio with over 1.2 million of that coming on during the second quarter.
- For the second quarter of fiscal 2019 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2018, depreciation, net of gains and losses on sales decreased $0.5 million. Depreciation expense on the rental equipment fleet increased $4.3 million primarily due to a larger fleet while gains on the sales of rental trucks increased $7.1 million. We sold more used trucks and the average sales proceeds per trucks were nominally better in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, compared with the prior year period. All other depreciation increased $2.3 million from the increase in new moving and storage locations.
- For the first six months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 gross truck and trailer capital expenditures were approximately $787 million compared with $665 million, proceeds from the sales of rental equipment were $428 million compared with $256 million and spending on real estate related acquisitions and projects were approximately $481 million compared with $258 million.
- Fleet maintenance and repair costs increased $11.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 compared with the same period last year. While up for the quarter, these costs did decrease year-over-year for the month of September.
- Operating earnings at our Moving and Storage operating segment increased $18.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 compared with the same period last year. Total revenues climbed $61.7 million and total costs and expenses increased $43.0 million.
- The effective federal income tax rate for second quarter of fiscal 2019 benefited from the Tax Reform Act. Had this rate been in effect for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 it would have increased earnings by $25.0 million or $1.28 per share, to $149.7 million, or $7.64 per share for the quarter.
- Cash and credit availability at the Moving and Storage operating segment was $678.2 million at September 30, 2018 compared with $882.0 million at March 31, 2018.
- On August 23, 2018, we declared a cash dividend on our Common Stock of $0.50 per share to holders of record on September 10, 2018. The dividend was paid on September 24, 2018.
