Textainer Group Holdings Limited Reports Record Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2011 Results and Increases Quarterly Dividend

HAMILTON, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Textainer Group Holdings Limited (NYSE:TGH), the world’s largest lessor of intermodal containers based on fleet size, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011. “Our fourth quarter closed out a record year for Textainer by every meaningful performance measure, including total revenues, profitability, utilization and fleet size,” said Philip K. Brewer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Textainer. “We also significantly increased our capital expenditures to $904 million, purchasing 448,000 TEU of containers positioning the Company for further success in 2012.”

“With 2011 as a backdrop, we expect that utilization may continue its slight decline during the first quarter of 2012, but that the overall level will remain attractive”

“Adjusted net income” and “EBITDA” are Non-GAAP Measures that are reconciled to GAAP measures in footnote 1. “Adjusted net income” is defined as net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders before unrealized losses on interest rate swaps, net, and gain on sale of containers to noncontrolling interest (“NCI”) and related impact of reconciling items on net income attributable to the NCI. “EBITDA” is defined as net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders before interest income and interest expense, realized and unrealized losses on interest rate swaps and caps, net, income tax expense, net income attributable to the NCI, depreciation and amortization expense, and gain on sale of containers to NCI and 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.

All of Textainer’s financial results above were positively impacted by the following items in the fourth quarter 2011, compared to the year ago quarter:

  • 28.0% increase in the average size of the owned container fleet;
  • 1.7% increase in average per diem rental rates;
  • $2.3 million increase in net gain on container trading due to increased sales volume and average sales proceeds per container; and
  • An increase in estimated residual values, beginning July 1, 2011, used in the calculation of depreciation expense which resulted in $4.8 million less depreciation expense than would have been recorded using prior residual values.

These items were partially offset by increases in depreciation expense and interest expense due to the increase in the size of the owned container fleet and associated debt to fund this expansion.

All of Textainer’s financial results above were positively impacted by the following items for full-year 2011, compared to the prior year:

  • 29.5% increase in the average size of the owned container fleet;
  • 7.1% increase in average per diem rental rates;
  • 2.9 percentage point increase in utilization;
  • $2.5 million increase in net gain on container trading due to increased sales volume and average sales proceeds per container;
  • $7.2 million decrease in direct container expense primarily due to reduced storage expense;
  • An increase in estimated residual values, beginning July 1, 2011, used in the calculation of depreciation expense, which resulted in $9.5 million less depreciation expense than would have been recorded using prior residual values; and
  • A capital restructuring of our primary asset-owning subsidiary, Textainer Marine Containers Limited (“TMCL”), effective June 30, 2011, whereby our wholly-owned subsidiary, Textainer Limited, now owns 100% of TMCL, eliminating the related noncontrolling interest. The restructuring resulted in a $19.8 million gain on sale of containers to the prior noncontrolling interest holder. The gain was the result of recognizing the fair value of containers and direct financing and sales-type leases in excess of their book value exchanged for TMCL’s common shares at the time of the transaction. This was a noncash transaction.

These items were partially offset by increases in depreciation expense and interest expense due to the increase in the size of the owned container fleet and associated debt to fund this expansion.

TMCL’s issuance of $400 million in fixed rate asset backed notes in June represented one of the largest container securitizations in history and again demonstrated Textainer’s ability to attract strong investor support in the debt markets. With a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.2:1, the Company is in a strong position to continue purchasing both new and used containers to meet market demand and maintain our industry leading position.

Outlook

Capital expenditures for new standard dry-freight and refrigerated containers were the highest in the Company’s history and in-fleet container utilization continues to remain at or near historic highs. Demand for new standard dry-freight containers began to slow during the second quarter but demand for depot equipment remained strong. Utilization declined by approximately 1%, over the last half of the year. “With 2011 as a backdrop, we expect that utilization may continue its slight decline during the first quarter of 2012, but that the overall level will remain attractive,” commented Mr. Brewer. “We are optimistic that utilization may level off or start to improve during the second quarter of 2012 and with 78% of our fleet committed to long-term and direct financing and sales-type leases, we have a sizeable contracted revenue stream which we expect will continue to provide our shareholders with attractive returns. We are off to a good start in 2012, with 32,000 TEU of dry freight containers and 5,000 TEU of refrigerated containers already ordered. Furthermore, resale prices have recently declined in some locations but, relative to the last ten years, current resale price levels remain very high.”

Dividend

On February 10, 2012, Textainer’s board of directors approved and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.37 per share on Textainer’s issued and outstanding common shares, payable on March 6, 2012 to shareholders of record as of February 24, 2012. This dividend is an increase of $0.02 per share from the prior quarter, Textainer’s eighth consecutive quarterly increase, and will continue the Company’s history of paying constant or higher dividends every quarter since its October 2007 initial public offering. Combined, these dividends have averaged 43% of Adjusted net income(1) during this period. The current dividend represents 35% of Adjusted net income(1).

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 it is in a strong position to continue purchasing both new and used containers to meet market demand and maintain its industry leading position; (ii) Textainer’s expectation that utilization may continue its slight decline during the first quarter of 2012, but that the overall level will remain attractive and (iii) Textainer’s expectation that its sizeable contracted revenue stream will continue to provide its shareholders with attractive returns. 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 recoveries; lease rates may decrease and lessees may default, which could decrease revenue and increasing storage, repositioning, collection and recovery expenses; we own a large and growing number of containers in our fleet and are subject to significant ownership risk; further consolidation of container manufacturers or the disruption of manufacturing for the major manufacturers could result in higher new container prices and/or decreased supply of new containers and any increase in the cost or reduction in the supply of new containers; the demand for leased containers depends on many political and economic factors beyond Textainer's control; the demand for leased containers is partially tied to international trade and if this demand were to decrease due to increased barriers to trade, or for any other reason, it could reduce demand for intermodal container leasing; as we increase the number of containers in our owned fleet, we will have significant 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; 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 4 “Risk Factors” in Textainer’s Quarterly Report on Form 6-K and Item 3 "Key Information-- Risk Factors" in Textainer's Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2011 and March 18, 2011, respectively.

Textainer's views, estimates, plans and outlook as described within this document may change subsequent to the release of this press release. Textainer is under no obligation to modify or update any or all of the statements it has made herein despite any subsequent changes Textainer may make in its views, estimates, plans or outlook for the future.
