U-Haul Holding Company Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Results

RENO, Nev.--()--U-Haul Holding Company (NYSE: UHAL) (NYSE: UHAL.B), parent of U-Haul International, Inc., Oxford Life Insurance Company, Repwest Insurance Company and Amerco Real Estate Company, today reported net earnings available to common shareholders for its second quarter ended September 30, 2023, of $273.5 million, compared with net earnings of $349.9 million for the same period last year. Earnings per share for Non-Voting Shares (UHAL.B) were $1.40 for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $1.73 for the same period in fiscal 2023.

For the six-month period ended September 30, 2023, net earnings available to shareholders were $530.3 million compared with net earnings of $688.2 million for the same period last year. Earnings per share for Non-Voting Shares (UHAL.B) were $2.71 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2023 compared to $3.41 for the same period in fiscal 2023.

“Overall moving activity remains below the same period last year. This affects most of our product lines,” stated Joe Shoen, chairman of U-Haul Holding Company. “We are close to stabilizing In-town moving transactions by better inventory placement. This is slow going, but there are some gains available where inventory is optimized. Implementation of existing programs is our best choice at this time.”

Highlights of Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results

  • Self-moving equipment rental revenues decreased $92.6 million, or 8.0% for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Transactions, revenue and average miles driven per transaction decreased. These declines were more pronounced in our one-way markets. Compared to the same period last year, we increased the number of box trucks and trailers in the rental fleet as well as the number of Company operated retail locations.
  • Self-storage revenues increased $23.3 million, or 12.6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The average monthly number of occupied units during the quarter increased by 7%, or 38,046 units, compared to the same quarter last year. Our reported occupancy of all properties regardless of length of time in the portfolio decreased 1.3% to 83.5% for the second quarter. The occupancy ratio for the subset of these properties that have been stabilized at 80% for the last 24 months also decreased 1.6% to 95.0% during the quarter. The growth in revenues and square feet rented comes from a combination of occupancy gains at existing locations, the addition of new capacity to the portfolio and a 6% improvement in average revenue per occupied foot. During the quarter, we added approximately 0.9 million net rentable square feet.
  • Sales of self-moving and self-storage products and services decreased $5.3 million, or 5.5% compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2023 due to decreased sales of hitches, moving supplies and propane. The decrease in self-moving transactions has negatively affected the sales of moving supplies.
  • For the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2023, depreciation, net of gains on sales increased $36.8 million. Page four of this press release contains additional details about this change.
  • For the first six months of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 gross rental equipment capital expenditures were approximately $974 million compared with $718 million, proceeds from the sales of rental equipment were $405 million compared with $325 million and spending on real estate related acquisitions and projects were approximately $633 million compared with $584 million.
  • Fleet maintenance and repair costs increased $17.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with the same period last year due to higher cost of preventative maintenance combined with the costs associated with preparing trucks for sale.
  • Operating earnings at our Moving and Storage operating segment decreased $113.2 million compared with the same period last year to $401.7 million and represent the third best second quarter result in the Company’s history. Total revenues decreased $71.3 million and total costs and expenses increased $42.0 million.
  • Cash and credit availability at the Moving and Storage segment was $2,554.9 million as of September 30, 2023 compared with $2,499.2 million at March 31, 2023.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

We calculate earnings per share using the two-class method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. The two-class method allocates the undistributed earnings available to common stockholders to the Company’s outstanding common stock, $0.25 par value (the “Voting Common Stock”) and the Series N Non-Voting Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Non-Voting Common Stock”) based on each share’s percentage of total weighted average shares outstanding. The Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock are allocated 10% and 90%, respectively, of our undistributed earnings available to common stockholders. This represents earnings available to common stockholders less the dividends declared for both the Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock.

Our undistributed earnings per share is calculated by taking the undistributed earnings available to common stockholders and dividing this number by the weighted average shares outstanding for the respective stock. If there was a dividend declared for that period, the dividend per share is added to the undistributed earnings per share to calculate the basic and diluted earnings per share. The process is used for both Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock.

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 for our Voting Common Stock and Non-Voting Common Stock were as follows:

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL RECONCILIATION SCHEDULE

As of April 1, 2019, we adopted the new accounting standard for leases. Part of this adoption resulted in approximately $1 billion of property, plant and equipment, net (“PPE”) being reclassed to Right of use assets - financing, net (“ROU-financing”). As of June 30, 2023, the balance of ROU-financing also includes the rental equipment purchased under new financing liability leases during fiscal 2024. The tables below show adjusted PPE as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, by including the ROU-financing. The assets included in ROU-financing are not a true book value as some of the assets are recorded at between 70% and 100% of value based on the lease agreement. This non-GAAP measure is intended as a supplemental measure of our balance sheet that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe that the use of this non-GAAP measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating our financial condition. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for other measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Below is a reconciliation of Moving and Storage non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules, such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"). The Company believes that these widely accepted measures of operating profitability improve the transparency of the Company's disclosures and provide a meaningful presentation of the Company's results from its core business operations excluding the impact of items not related to the Company's ongoing core business operations and improve the period-to-period comparability of the Company's results from its core business operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not substitutes for GAAP financial results and should only be considered in conjunction with the Company's financial information that is presented in accordance with GAAP.
