Operating Performance

“Triton achieved solid results in the third quarter of 2019," commented Brian M. Sondey, Chief Executive Officer of Triton. “We generated $85.0 million of Adjusted net income in the third quarter, or $1.16 of Adjusted net income per share, and we realized an annualized Return on equity of 16.1%.”

“Triton's financial performance has remained solid despite facing weak leasing demand since last fall, and leasing activity remained slow throughout the traditional peak third quarter. Global economic conditions have softened this year, and the ongoing trade dispute between the United States and China continues to create uncertainty and impact shipping activity. Fortunately, the supply of containers remains generally well balanced due to reduced production of new containers, and while our utilization continued to gradually trend down during the third quarter, it remains strong at 96.1% as of October 18, 2019. Triton's financial performance has also been supported by our industry-leading cost structure and operating capabilities, our well-protected long-term lease portfolio, and disciplined use of our strong cash flow.”

“Triton’s investment level has been limited so far this year. As of October 18, 2019, we have purchased $247.7 million of containers for delivery in 2019. However, Triton continues to use its strong cash flow to drive shareholder value. Our regular dividend currently provides almost a six percent annual yield, and we also continue to actively repurchase shares of our common stock. We repurchased 1.6 million common shares during the third quarter, and have purchased over 8.7 million shares since last August, leading to a 10.8% reduction in our diluted share count. In addition, we believe the repurchase of the third-party investor interests earlier this year was an attractive investment in our existing container fleet. Overall, our strong cash flow, unrivaled operating capabilities and range of financing options give us many levers to drive shareholder value.”

Outlook

“Our customers and market forecasters have reduced their expectations for containerized trade growth this year following the weak summer peak season, and most are currently projecting growth will be just slightly positive in 2019. We are also heading into the seasonally-slower time of year. As a result, we expect our key operating metrics will continue to gradually decrease over the next several quarters. However, the short ordering cycle for containers and multiple drivers for container leasing demand typically limit the duration of soft market conditions, and we continue to benefit from numerous advantages and strong, stable cash flow. Overall, we expect our Adjusted net income per share will decrease from the third quarter to the fourth quarter, though we also expect our financial performance will remain solid.”

Dividends

Triton’s Board of Directors has approved and declared a $0.52 per share quarterly cash dividend on its issued and outstanding common shares, payable on December 20, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 3, 2019.

Triton’s Board of Directors has approved a cash dividend of $0.53125 per share on its 8.50% Series A Preferred Shares (NYSE:TRTNpA) and a cash dividend of $0.50 per share on its 8.00% Series B Preferred Shares (NYSE:TRTNpB), each payable on December 16, 2019 to holders of record at the close of business on December 9, 2019.

Share Repurchase Update

As of October 18, 2019, we have repurchased approximately 8.7 million common shares since the initial Board of Director authorization of share repurchases in August 2018 for a total of $277.2 million at an average price per-share of $31.70. As of October 18, 2019, the Company has a total of $84.9 million remaining under the current authorization.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the term "Adjusted net income" throughout this press release.

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 shareholders excluding debt termination expenses net of tax, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments net of tax, transaction and other costs net of tax, gain on sale of building, net of tax, tax benefit from vesting of restricted shares, and foreign income tax adjustments.

Adjusted net income is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted net income should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, amounts determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including net income.

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

  • 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.
