Operating Performance

"Triton achieved another record quarter of profitability in the second quarter of 2022," commented Brian M. Sondey, Chief Executive Officer of Triton. “Triton generated $2.92 of Adjusted net income per share, an increase of 5.8% from the first quarter of 2022 and an increase of 36.4% from the second quarter of 2021. In addition, Triton achieved an annualized Adjusted return on equity of 29.8%."

"Triton’s outstanding profitability reflects durable enhancements made to our business as well as generally constructive market conditions. Our utilization remains well above 99%, reflecting the large portion of our container fleet on long-term lease and low drop off volumes. New container prices have decreased from their peak level reached last year, but remain historically high, with factories quoting in the $2,600 range for a 20' dry container, providing strong support for lease rates and disposal prices. We have also locked in low long-term interest rates through our extensive refinancing activity in 2020 and 2021."

"Our gains on container disposals and trading margins remained exceptionally high in the second quarter, reflecting a continued tight market for containers and Triton’s market-leading resale capabilities. We also benefited from several lease transactions for older containers in the second quarter which were accounted for as sales. These transactions generated substantial per container margins, reflecting the value embedded in our container fleet, and they boosted our disposal gains by $6.8 million in the second quarter, or $0.11 per share."

"Triton's new container investment has been moderate so far this year following our record investment and growth in 2021, as customers have been more cautious about further expanding their container fleets. As of July 26, 2022, we have ordered $546 million of new containers for delivery in 2022. Triton has shifted its investment focus and strong cash flow to share repurchases. Year to date, Triton has repurchased 3.9 million or 6.0% of our shares outstanding. Triton increased the pace of its repurchases during the second quarter and our Board of Directors has again increased our share repurchase authorization back to $200 million in July."

Outlook

Mr. Sondey continued, "We expect our performance will remain strong due to the durable enhancements we have made to our business. While we anticipate that market conditions will continue to moderate, we expect our cash flow, profitability and Adjusted return on equity will remain very high throughout the year and into the longer term. For the third quarter, we expect our Adjusted net income per share will remain in line with our very strong second quarter results, excluding the extra benefits to our disposal gains."

Common and Preferred Share Dividends

Triton’s Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.65 per common share, payable on September 22, 2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 8, 2022.

The Company's Board of Directors also declared a cash dividend payable on September 15, 2022 to holders of record at the close of business on September 8, 2022 on Triton's issued and outstanding preferred shares as follows:

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.

The following table provides a summary of our equipment lease portfolio by lease type, based on CEU and net book value, as of June 30, 2022:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Items

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

Adjusted net income and Adjusted 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 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 June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

Additionally, the calculation for Adjusted return on equity is adjusted annualized earnings divided by average shareholders' equity. Management utilizes Adjusted 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.
