Textainer Group Holdings Limited Reports Third-Quarter Results

HAMILTON, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 9, 2017-- Textainer Group Holdings Limited (NYSE: TGH) (“Textainer”, “the Company”, “we” and “our”), one of the world’s largest lessors of intermodal containers, reported third-quarter 2017 results.

Financial and Business Summaries

  • Business environment continues to rebound. Lease rental income increased $3.4 million (or 3.1 percent) from the prior quarter to $112.2 million for the quarter;
  • Gain on sale of containers, net increased $2.1 million (or 35.6 percent) from the prior quarter to $8.0 million for the quarter, reflecting the continued improvement in resale prices;
  • Net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders of $18.5 million for the quarter, or $0.32 per diluted common share, an increase of $27.8 million from the prior quarter;
  • Adjusted net income(1) of $18.6 million for the quarter, or $0.33 per diluted common share, an improvement of $19.8 million from the prior quarter;
  • Increased adjusted EBITDA(1) of $100.6 million for the quarter, an improvement of $9.4 million (or 10.3 percent) from the prior quarter;
  • Utilization averaged 96.7 percent for the quarter and is currently at 97.2 percent, an improvement of 40 basis point over the prior quarter average; and
  • Approximately $500 million of capex year-to-date in 2017.

“We are excited about the significant improvements in our financial performance and favorable overall market conditions. The positive trends reported previously continued with sequential improvements in lease revenue, gain on container sales, and direct container expense. Our third quarter results mark a return to profitability which we expect to continue going forward. With Hanjin behind us and our refinancings completed, we are well positioned to take advantage of the attractive market environment,” stated Philip K. Brewer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Textainer Group Holdings Limited.

“Utilization continues to rise. Rental rates and container prices are holding at their highest levels in many years. Cash-on-cash returns on new dry freight term leases have remained strong with longer lease terms and Asia-focused return schedules, which in turn lift rental rates for depot containers and lease renewals. New container prices have remained relatively stable in the range of $2200 to $2300 per CEU, further supporting rental rates.

“We continued our strong capex investing approximately $500 million year-to-date. Over 70% of our new containers have either been leased-out or committed to be picked-up once manufactured. As these new containers have been and will be going on lease largely during the second half of the year, the impact on our results is not yet apparent and will be seen in the coming quarters. We project that containers leased at today’s rates will provide returns-on-equity in the mid-teens,” continued Mr. Brewer. “Resale values for used containers continued their sustained improvement, as evidenced by the increased gain on container sales and reversal of previously recorded impairments.”

“Adjusted net income (loss)” and “adjusted EBITDA” are Non-GAAP Measures that are reconciled to GAAP measures in footnote 1. “Adjusted net income (loss)” is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders before charges to write-off of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and bond discounts, unrealized (gains) losses on interest rate swaps, collars and caps, net and the related impact of reconciling items on income tax (benefit) expense and net income (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interests (“NCI”). “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders before interest income and expense, the write-off of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and bond discounts, realized and unrealized (gains) losses on interest rate swaps, collars and caps, net, income tax (benefit) expense, net income (loss) attributable to the NCI, depreciation expense, container impairment, amortization expense and the related impact of reconciling items on net income (loss) attributable to the NCI. Footnote 1 provides certain qualifications and limitations on the use of Non-GAAP Measures.

Third-Quarter Results

Textainer’s third quarter results benefited from higher lease rental income due to higher utilization and an increase in the size of our owned fleet. Direct container expense decreased $4.7 million from the prior year quarter due to the increase in utilization and decreases in repositioning expense and repair and recovery costs from the Hanjin bankruptcy.

Gain on sale of containers, net was $8.0 million for the current quarter compared to $2.2 million for the prior year quarter. The $5.8 million increase was primarily due to an increase in average sales proceeds per unit, partially offset by a decrease in volume of sales.

Container impairment was $2.0 million for the current quarter compared to $43.7 million for the prior year quarter. The $41.7 million decrease was primarily due to a decrease in impairments to write down the value of containers held for sale to their estimated fair value and a $22.1 million impairment from the Hanjin bankruptcy for the prior year quarter.

We evaluate the estimated future residual values and monitor the sales prices and useful lives of our containers on an ongoing basis. As a result, we increased the estimated future residual value of certain container types effective July 1, 2017 as follows:

    Estimated Residual Values
Container types   Prior July 1, 2017     Effective July 1, 2017     Change
20' standard containers   $ 950     $ 1,000   $ 50
40' standard containers   $ 1,150     $ 1,200   $ 50
40' high cube containers   $ 1,300     $ 1,350   $ 50

“Following the sharp and sudden rebound in sales prices, we reviewed our depreciation policy and increased residual values on each of our three primary dry container types. This change decreased depreciation expense by $3.6 million during the third quarter,” commented Hilliard C. Terry, III, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Textainer Group Holding Limited. “Last year we reduced residual values after a prolonged period of declining sales prices; however, the significant reversal in the market caused us to reassess our residual values. The changes we’ve made better reflect our long-term view of used container prices over the cycle. Our residual values remain equal to, or lower than, our public peers.”

Bad debt expense was $17.3 million lower in the third quarter mainly due to a $17.1 million provision for the Hanjin bankruptcy in the prior year quarter with no comparable provision recorded in the current quarter. These benefits were partially offset by a $6.4 million increase in interest expense including hedging costs primarily due to higher amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and a repricing of interest margins back to market rates in some of our debt facilities.

“During the quarter, we recorded a tax benefit of $4.8 million, in spite of recording net income for the quarter. Our tax rate is affected by items such as tax rates in various jurisdictions, the relative amounts of income we earn in those jurisdictions and discrete items that occur in any given period. We expect the tax benefit recorded in the third quarter to be largely offset by an almost equivalent tax expense in the fourth quarter,” concluded Mr. Terry.

Outlook

“We are very optimistic about the outlook for both Textainer and our industry. The manufacturers are full through November. Production during the winter will be constrained due to the difficulty in applying water-born paint in cold temperatures. Steel prices may strengthen due in part to enforcement of pollution regulations in China leading to the closure of some steel producers. For these reasons, we do not expect new container prices to decline over the coming quarters,” continued Mr. Brewer. “The inventory of new containers at factories is approximately 400,000 TEU which we consider reasonable given the current outlook for demand and production. With utilization at such high levels, worldwide depot inventory is also very low.

“We expect rental rates to remain around current levels given the disciplined ordering of new containers by lessors and shipping lines and the constraints on new container production. Sales prices should remain around today’s levels because the quantity of containers being put to sale is limited due to high utilization at lessors and shipping lines.

“Over the coming years, we will benefit not just from the projected continued strong growth in container trade but also from revenue upside from lease repricing. Leases maturing in 2018 have average rates of $0.56 per CEU per day and this figure declines to $0.36 per CEU per day by 2021. These rates are well below current new and depot container rental rates. If current market conditions continue, as these leases reprice any increase in rental revenue will flow straight to our bottom line.”

Forward-looking statements include statements that are not statements of historical facts and include, without limitation, statements regarding: (i) Textainer’s expectation that profitability will continue going forward and it will be able to take advantage of the market environment (ii) Textainer’s projection that containers leased at today’s rates will provide returns-on-equity in the mid-teens (iii) Textainer’s expectation that the tax benefit recorded in the third quarter will be largely offset by a tax expense in the fourth quarter (iv) Textainer’s belief that new container production will be constrained and new container prices will not decrease in the coming quarters due to the challenges of using waterborne paint during the winter months and possible increases in component costs (v) Textainer’s expectation that both rental rates and sales prices will remain around current levels (vi) Textainer’s expectation that should current market conditions continue going forward, its revenue will increase due to container trade growth and due to the repricing of maturing leases which are at rates below the current market. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, are only predictions and may differ materially from actual future events or results. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the following items that could materially and negatively impact our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and future prospects: any deceleration or reversal of the current domestic and global economic conditions; lease rates may decrease and lessees may default, which could decrease revenue and increase storage, repositioning, collection and recovery expenses; the demand for leased containers depends on many political and economic factors and is tied to international trade and if demand decreases due to increased barriers to trade or political or economic factors, or for other reasons, it reduces demand for intermodal container leasing; as we increase the number of containers in our owned fleet, we increase our capital at risk and may need to incur more debt, which could result in financial instability; Textainer faces extensive competition in the container leasing industry which tends to depress returns; the international nature of the container shipping industry exposes Textainer to numerous risks; gains and losses associated with the disposition of used equipment may fluctuate; our indebtedness reduces our financial flexibility and could impede our ability to operate; and other risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in Textainer’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016
(Unaudited)
(All currency expressed in United States dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

 
(1) The following is a reconciliation of certain GAAP measures to non-GAAP financial measures (such items listed in (a) to (d) below and defined as “Non-GAAP Measures”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, including:
  (a) net income (loss) attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders to adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA defined as net income (loss) attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders before interest income and expense, realized and unrealized (gains) losses on interest rate swaps, collars and caps, net, income tax benefit (expense), net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interests (“NCI”), depreciation expense, container impairment, amortization expense and the related impact of reconciling items on net income (loss) attributable to the NCI);
  (b) net cash provided by operating activities to Adjusted EBITDA;
  (c) net income (loss) attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders to adjusted net income (loss) (defined as net income (loss) attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders before the write-off of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and bond discounts, unrealized (gains) losses on interest rate swaps, collars and caps, net, the related impact of reconciling items on income tax benefit (expense) and net income (loss) attributable to the NCI); and
  (d) net income (loss) attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders per diluted common share to adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share (defined as net income (loss) attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders per diluted common share before the write-off of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and bond discounts, unrealized (gains) losses on interest rate swaps, collars and caps, net, the related impact of reconciling items on income tax benefit (expense) and net income (loss) attributable to the NCI).
     
  Non-GAAP Measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Non-GAAP Measures are presented solely as supplemental disclosures. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA may be a useful performance measure that is widely used within our industry and adjusted net (loss) income may be a useful performance measure because Textainer intends to hold its interest rate swaps, collars and caps until maturity and over the life of an interest rate swap, collar or cap the unrealized (gains) losses will net to zero. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in the same manner by all companies and, accordingly, may not be an appropriate measure for comparison.
   
  Management also believes that adjusted net income and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share are useful in evaluating our operating performance because unrealized (gains) losses on interest rate swaps, collars and caps, net is a noncash, non-operating item. We believe Non-GAAP Measures provide useful information on our earnings from ongoing operations. We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information on our ability to service our long-term debt and other fixed obligations and on our ability to fund our expected growth with internally generated funds. Non-GAAP Measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider either of them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results or cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
 

They do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

They do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

 

Although depreciation expense and container impairment is a noncash charge, the assets being depreciated may be replaced in the future, and neither adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss) or adjusted net income (loss) per diluted common share reflects any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

They are not adjusted for all noncash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows; and

 

Other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
