Operating Performance

"Triton's results in the fourth quarter of 2022 provided a strong finish to an outstanding year," commented Brian Sondey, Chief Executive Officer of Triton. "In the fourth quarter, Triton generated $2.76 of Adjusted net income per share and achieved an annualized Adjusted return on equity over 25%. Triton's results in the fourth quarter included $4.8 million of gains from lease buyout transactions and a $3.0 million benefit from previously taken credit provisions. In total, these items added $0.13 to our Adjusted net income per share. For the full year of 2022, Triton generated $11.32 of Adjusted net income per share and achieved an Adjusted return on equity of 28.4%."

"Triton's outstanding performance reflects durable enhancements we have made to our business. In 2020 and 2021, Triton capitalized on very strong market conditions to drive rapid growth in our container fleet and to significantly extend the average duration of our lease portfolio. We were also able to take advantage of very low interest rates as well as our upgrade to an investment grade debt rating to refinance most of our debt portfolio, locking in low-cost long-term financing."

"Global trade volumes decreased in 2022 due to a variety of global economic and geopolitical challenges and as consumers shifted spending back to services. Logistical bottlenecks also eased in 2022, leading to improved container turn times. As a result, most of our customers shifted from aggressive container fleet expansion to fleet reductions. While Triton's operating metrics faced pressure in 2022, our performance remained strong. Our utilization averaged 99.1% in 2022, and currently stands at 97.6%."

"Triton continued to generate strong cash flow in 2022, reflecting the power and stability of our business model. We also demonstrated our ability to use our cash flow to drive shareholder value across a wide range of market environments as we shifted our investment focus from rapid fleet growth to aggressive share repurchases. We repurchased 9.1 million shares in 2022 for prices that we believe are compelling, leading to a 13.8% reduction in our outstanding shares while also decreasing leverage."

Outlook

Mr. Sondey continued, "We expect our utilization will continue to gradually trend down as long as market conditions remain challenging, but we expect our operating and financial performance will remain strong. The first quarter is typically the slow season for dry containers and has the fewest number of days. In addition, we expect used container sale prices and our disposal gains will begin to decrease more quickly. Our financial results will also not have the benefit of the transactions that added $0.13 to our Adjusted net income per share in the fourth quarter. As a result, we expect our Adjusted net income per share will decrease from the fourth quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023."

"The trajectory of our performance after the first quarter will depend on how market conditions evolve. The outlook for global economic conditions is uncertain, but our fleet remains well protected by our lease portfolio, and container supply and demand usually rebalance quickly due to the short order cycle for containers and the steady disposal of older assets. We also expect to continue to use our strong cash flow to reduce our share count further, and we have historically been successful in putting equipment back on hire quickly when market conditions improve. As a result, we expect to maintain a high level of operating and financial performance throughout 2023, and expect our EPS trajectory will turn positive when market conditions stabilize and recover."

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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Additionally, the calculation for Adjusted return on equity is adjusted annualized net income 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.

Certain forward-looking information included in this press release is provided only on a non-GAAP basis without a reconciliation of these measures to the mostly directly comparable GAAP measure due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. These items depend on highly variable factors, many of which may not be in our control, and which could vary significantly from future GAAP financial results.
