Operating Performance

"Triton achieved record performance again in the third quarter of 2021," commented Brian M. Sondey, Chief Executive Officer of Triton. "We generated $2.43 of Adjusted earnings per share, an increase of 13.6% from the second quarter. The sequential increase in earnings was primarily driven by an increase in our leasing margin due to our strong leasing activity and a reduction in our average effective interest rate. We also achieved an annualized Return on equity of 29.4%."

"Triton's outstanding results in the third quarter reflect our success in capturing the many opportunities presented by very strong market conditions. Trade volumes remain strong and we continue to see incremental demand for containers due to operational disruptions that are slowing our customers' container turn-times. Our utilization increased to 99.6% as of September 30, 2021 and currently remains at this level. New container prices and market lease rates remained near record levels in the third quarter. Our average selling prices for used dry containers also remained exceptionally high, allowing us to generate sizable disposal gains despite very low off-hire and disposal volumes."

"Triton has invested heavily in new containers this year to support our customers. Shipping lines have added record numbers of new containers to their fleets to meet the demands created by the strong trade volumes and operational challenges, and Triton has secured a meaningful share of leasing transactions due to our industry-leading supply capability and our strong reputation for reliability. Triton has purchased over $3.4 billion of containers for delivery in 2021. $1.0 billion of these containers were placed on-hire during the third quarter, and $2.7 billion have been put on-hire through September 30, 2021. Further container orders in the third quarter were limited as delivery timing pushed past the peak season, but we estimate that our existing orders will translate to nearly 30% asset growth for Triton in 2021."

"Triton is highly focused on locking-in long-term benefits from the exceptional current environment. The average lease duration for containers ordered in 2021 is 13 years and the overall average remaining duration of our long-term lease portfolio has extended to 59 months. The very large block of new containers on attractively priced long-term leases and extended lease durations for our container fleet will provide strong foundations to our profitability and cash flow for years to come."

"Triton recently announced that we successfully transitioned our capital structure toward unsecured investment grade financing. We anticipate the unsecured investment grade financing market will provide more financial flexibility and greater access to deep and efficient capital. As part of this transition, we have prepaid the remaining institutional notes and incurred a charge of $42.7 million in the third quarter, most of which we expect to recover over the next several years. These financing benefits should further extend the scale, cost, and capability advantages we have in our market."

Outlook

Mr. Sondey continued, "We have a significant amount of momentum as we head toward the end of the year, and we have made durable enhancements to our business that will support our financial performance into the longer term. Our customers are anticipating elevated trade volumes and operational challenges will extend well into 2022. New container prices, used container prices and market lease rates remain near record levels, and all of our key performance metrics are exceptionally strong. We have added over $4.0 billion of assets since the summer of 2020 on high-value, very long-duration leases which has created a strong and lasting foundation for our cash flow. We anticipate returning to more normal levels of investment now that we are past the peak shipping season, and expect to shift some of our strong cash flow to other drivers of shareholder value. We are increasing our quarterly dividend by 14% which follows a 10% dividend increase in October of 2020, and we have increased our share repurchase authorization to $200 million. These capital actions reflect the significant growth and durability of our earnings as we have locked in the benefits of the current market conditions with high value, long duration leases."

"We expect our Adjusted EPS in the fourth quarter of 2021 will increase slightly from the record level we achieved in the third quarter. We expect our leasing margin will continue to increase due to ongoing pick up activity and as we benefit from a full quarter of revenue from the large number of containers picked-up during the third quarter. We will also benefit from a lower average effective interest rate resulting from the prepayment of the remaining institutional notes. We expect this increase in leasing margin will be partially offset by lower disposal gains driven by very low drop-off and disposal volumes. Looking further forward, we expect our profitability and cash flows will remain at very high levels due to the durable benefits from our strong leasing activity this year, and we expect our net book value per share will increase rapidly due to our strong return on equity."

Triton’s Board of Directors has declared a $0.65 per share quarterly cash dividend on its issued and outstanding common shares, payable on December 23, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 9, 2021.

Triton repurchased 0.4 million common shares in the third quarter of 2021, and repurchased an additional 0.2 million common shares through October 22, 2021. Triton's Board of Directors has increased its share repurchase authorization to $200 million.

In the equipment fleet tables above, we have included total fleet count information based on CEU. CEU is a ratio used to convert the actual number of containers in our fleet to a figure based on the relative purchase prices of our various equipment types to that of a 20-foot dry container. For example, the CEU ratio for a 40-foot high cube dry container is 1.70, and a 40-foot high cube refrigerated container is 7.50. These factors may differ slightly from CEU ratios used by others in the industry.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Items

We use the terms "Adjusted net income" and Return on equity throughout this press release.

Adjusted net income and Return on equity are not items presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, amounts determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including net income.

Adjusted net income is adjusted for certain items management believes are not representative of our operating performance. Adjusted net income is defined as net income attributable to common shareholders excluding debt termination expenses net of tax, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments net of tax, and foreign and other income tax adjustments.

We believe that Adjusted net income is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because this item:

  • is widely used by securities analysts and investors to measure a company's operating performance;
  • helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure, our asset base and certain non-routine events which we do not expect to occur in the future; and
  • is used by our management for various purposes, including as measures of operating performance and liquidity, to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis, in presentations to our board of directors concerning our financial performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

We have provided a reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Adjusted net income in the table below for the three months ended September 30, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2020 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

Additionally, the calculation for return on equity is adjusted annualized earnings divided by average shareholders' equity. Management utilizes return on equity in evaluating how much profit the Company generates on the shareholders' equity in the Company and believes it is useful for comparing the profitability of companies in the same industry.
