Textainer Group Holdings Limited

Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Results

and Declares Quarterly Dividend

HAMILTON, Bermuda – (BUSINESS WIRE) –February 11, 2016 – Textainer Group Holdings Limited (NYSE: TGH) (“Textainer”, “the Company”, “we” and “our”), one of the world’s largest lessors of intermodal containers based on fleet size, reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2015 results.

Financial and Business Highlights

 

•

Lease rental income of $124.6 million for the quarter, a decrease of 4 percent from the prior year, and $510.5 million for the full year, an increase of 1 percent from the prior year;

 

•

Net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders of $21.4 million for the quarter, or $0.38 per diluted common share and $106.9 million for the full year, or $1.87 per diluted common share;

 

•

Adjusted net income(1) of $12.7 million for the quarter, or $0.22 per diluted common share, and $108.7 million for the full year, or $1.90 per diluted common share;

 

•

During the quarter we recorded $15.4 million of non-cash container impairments to write down our inventory of containers that are pending disposal. Excluding these impairments, adjusted net income would have been $27.0 million, or $0.47 per diluted share. For the year, these impairments resulted in $30.4 million of lower adjusted net income;

 

•

Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $104.1 million for the quarter and $430.0 million for the full year;

 

•

Net cash provided by operating activities of $369.9 million for the full year, an increase of 1.9 percent from the prior year;

 

•

Utilization remained at high levels, averaging 95.7 percent for the quarter and is currently at 94.2 percent;

 

•

Increased the percentage of the total fleet that is owned by 2 percent over last year;

 

•

Continued expansion with more than $600 million of capex for lease-out in 2015 and $65.5 million invested year-to-date in 2016; and

 

•

A quarterly dividend of $0.24 per share was declared.

“2015 proved to be a very challenging year. Container prices declined around 25% during 2015 due primarily to falling steel prices and limited demand for new containers. The decline in new container prices and continued low interest rates led to declines in lease rates and lower resale prices. Additionally, we experienced decreased demand from our customers as trade growth was lower than expected,” stated Philip K. Brewer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Textainer Group Holdings Limited.

“Our results were negatively affected by an increase in impairments of sales containers due to a combination of lower sales prices and an increase in the quantity of containers put to sale. When a container is returned by a shipping line, we decide whether to sell or keep it based on the container’s condition, location, and age. If we decide to sell the container, we immediately write down its value to the expected sales price even though we may not sell the container at that time and may move it to another location where it sells for a different price. We believe our policy provides investors with the most accurate view of our performance.”

“Lease rental income decreased 3.7 percent for the quarter and increased 1.2 percent for the year, from the prior year comparable periods. The quarterly decrease was due to a decline in rental rates, lower utilization and a slight decrease in our owned fleet size. The year-over-year increase resulted largely from an increase in our owned fleet size,” continued Mr. Brewer. “The level of new dry container inventory at factories is approximately 770,000 TEU, which is down from last quarter and a reasonable quantity for this time of year. Container manufacturers are currently closed for Lunar New Year and are expected to remain so until at least the end of the month.”

“We invested more than $600 million for lease-out in 2015, purchasing more than 235,000 TEU of new and used containers. We have started off 2016 strongly with $65.5 million invested year-to-date. We continue to successfully grow our reefer business having purchased more reefers during 2015 than in any year in our history.” concluded Mr. Brewer.

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

Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year Results

We experienced a decrease in used container prices which, along with an increase in the quantity of containers being designated for sale, increased container impairments by $11.6 million and $21.2 million for the quarter and full year, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Textainer also experienced a higher than expected decrease in resale prices for 40 foot high cube containers primarily due to slowing economies in Europe and Asia, the strength of the U.S. dollar versus many other currencies, lower new container prices and an increase in the quantity of containers being put to sale. Based on this extended period of lower realized resale prices and our expectation that future prices will be lower than originally expected, we decreased the residual value of our 40 foot high cube containers from $1,650 per container to $1,450 per container. This decrease, which was effective July 1, 2015, resulted in additional depreciation expense of $4.7 million and $10.5 million for the quarter and full year, respectively.

We continue to monitor the sales prices of other container types, especially 20 foot and 40 foot standard containers. While we do not believe adjustments to their residual values are necessary at this time, we will make adjustments should our expectations regarding future sales prices warrant a change.

In August 2015, one of our customers became insolvent and we are working to recover the containers on lease to this customer. Textainer’s lessee default insurance after deductibles covers the value of unrecoverable containers, as well as the costs to recover containers and a period of lost future rental income. A $2.0 million impairment, net of estimated insurance proceeds, was recognized and included in container impairment for unrecoverable containers and a $2.6 million bad debt provision was recognized to fully reserve for the customer’s accounts receivable.

Our 2014 results also included a $7.9 million settlement received from a lessee in bankruptcy proceedings, $2.6 million of which was recorded in lease rental income, and a one-time $22.4 million income tax benefit following the completion of an IRS examination.

Excluding the container impairment, net of estimated insurance proceeds, the bad debt provision for our customer that became insolvent, net of tax impact and the discrete income tax benefit following the completion of an IRS examination and the settlement received from a lessee in bankruptcy proceedings, our adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ would have been $113.6 million for 2015 compared to $163.7 million for 2014, or a year-to-year decrease of 31%.

Dividend

On February 9, 2016, Textainer’s board of directors approved and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per share on Textainer’s issued and outstanding common shares, payable on March 2, 2016 to shareholders of record as of February 22, 2016.

Outlook

“The outlook for 2016 remains challenging for many of the same reasons that affected our 2015 results. Improved performance depends largely on an increase in demand, container prices and/or interest rates, none of which seems likely in the near term. Maturing leases that are extended will continue to be repriced at lower rental rates and container impairments are likely to remain high until resale prices improve. We expect these factors combined will lead to reduced financial results in 2016,” continued Mr. Brewer.

“It is important to keep in mind that our industry is and has always been cyclical. We have been in business for 36 years and have successfully managed through many cycles. We have the least leverage and the lowest operating costs of any of our public competitors. 85% of our fleet is subject to long-term or finance leases with an average remaining term of 40 months. As we have been a consistent buyer of containers over the years, only 8.5% of our term leases mature in 2016. We are well positioned for the challenges we face. Additionally, containers purchased at today’s prices are expected to generate attractive returns over their lives,” concluded Mr. Brewer.

Important Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. securities laws. Forward-looking statements include statements that are not statements of historical facts and include, without limitation, statements regarding: (i) Textainer’s belief that improved performance depends largely on an increase in demand, container prices and/or interest rates; (ii) Textainer’s belief that maturing leases that are extended will continue to be repriced at lower rental rates; (iii) Textainer’s belief that container impairments are likely to remain high until resale prices improve; (iv) Textainer’s expectation that the combined factors discussed above will lead to reduced financial results in 2016; (v) Textainer’s expectation that, having been a consistent buyer of containers over the years, only 8.5% of its term leases will mature in 2016; (vi) Textainer’s belief that it is well positioned for the challenges it faces; and (vii) Textainer’s expectation that containers purchased at today’s prices will generate attractive returns over their lives. 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.

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 were to decrease due to increased barriers to trade or political or economic factors, or for other reasons, it could reduce 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. For a discussion of some of these risks and uncertainties, see Item 3 “Key Information— Risk Factors” in Textainer’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2015.

Textainer’s views, estimates, plans and outlook as described within this document may change subsequent to the release of this press release.

TEXTAINER GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES

Reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures

Three Months and Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

(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 months and years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, including:

 

(a)

net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders to adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA defined as net income 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 expense (benefit), net income attributable to the noncontrolling interests (“NCI”), depreciation expense, container impairment, amortization expense and the related impact of reconciling items on net income attributable to the NCI);

 

(b)

net cash provided by operating activities to Adjusted EBITDA;

 

(c)

net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders to adjusted net income (defined as net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders before the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, unrealized (gains) losses on interest rate swaps, collars and caps, net, the related impact of reconciling items on income tax expense and net income attributable to the NCI); and

 

(d)

net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders per diluted common share to adjusted net income per diluted common share (defined as net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders per diluted common share before the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, unrealized (gains) losses on interest rate swaps, collars and caps, net, the related impact of reconciling items on income tax expense and net income 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 income, 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 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 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 or adjusted net income 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.
