Textainer Group Holdings Limited Reports Second Quarter and Six Months 2011 Results and Declares Quarterly Dividend
HAMILTON, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Textainer Group Holdings Limited (NYSE:TGH) (“Textainer”, the “Company”, “we” and “our”), the world’s largest lessor of intermodal containers based on fleet size, today reported results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011.
“Textainer’s Board declared a dividend increase for the sixth consecutive quarter. Our second quarter 2011 dividend represents an increase of 6.5% from our previous quarterly payout and continues our record of stable or increasing dividends.”
Total revenue for the second quarter 2011 was $105.7 million, which was an increase of $31.1 million, or 42%, compared to $74.6 million for the prior year comparable quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, total revenue was $196.9 million, which was an increase of $52.7 million, or 37% compared to $144.3 million for the prior year comparable period. EBITDA(1—see GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations) for the second quarter 2011 was $86.5 million, which was an increase of $34.9 million, or 68%, compared to $51.6 million for the prior year comparable quarter. The increase in EBITDA(1) for the second quarter 2011 compared to the prior year comparable quarter was primarily due to a 36.0% increase in the Company’s owned fleet size, a 8.6% increase in per diem rental rates and a 3.4 percentage point improvement in utilization. EBITDA(1) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $156.4 million, which was an increase of $59.1 million, or 61%, compared to $97.3 million for the prior year comparable period. The increase in EBITDA(1) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the prior year comparable period was primarily due to a 28.6% increase in the Company’s owned fleet size, an 11.7% increase in per diem rental rates and a 5.7 percentage point improvement in utilization.
Net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders excluding unrealized losses on interest rate swaps, net and gain on sale of containers to NCI(1) for the second quarter 2011 was $40.4 million, which was an increase of $11.5 million, or 40%, compared to $29.0 million for the prior year comparable quarter. Net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders excluding unrealized losses on interest rate swaps, net and gain on sale of containers to NCI(1) for the second quarter 2011 was positively affected by the increases in the Company’s owned fleet size and per diem rental rates and the improvement in utilization. Net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders per diluted common share excluding unrealized losses on interest rate swaps, net and gain on sale of containers to NCI(1) for the second quarter 2011 was $0.81 per share, which was an increase of $0.22 per share, or 37%, compared to $0.59 per share for the prior year comparable quarter.
Net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders excluding unrealized losses on interest rate swaps, net and gain on sale of containers to NCI(1) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $75.9 million, which was an increase of $21.4 million, or 39%, compared to $54.5 million for the prior year comparable period. Net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders excluding unrealized losses on interest rate swaps, net and gain on sale of containers to NCI(1) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was positively affected by the increases in the Company’s owned fleet size and per diem rental rates and the improvement in utilization. Net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders per diluted common share excluding unrealized losses on interest rate swaps, net and gain on sale of containers to NCI(1) for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.52 per share, which was an increase of $0.41 per share, or 37%, compared to $1.11 per share for the prior year comparable period.
Net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders for the second quarter 2011 was $51.7 million, which was an increase of $26.6 million, or 106%, compared to $25.1 million for the prior year comparable quarter. The increase in net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders for the second quarter 2011 was primarily due to a $19.8 million gain on sale of containers to NCI, the increases in the Company’s owned fleet size and per diem rental rates and the improvement in utilization. Net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $88.9 million, which was an increase of $39.6 million, or 80%, compared to $49.3 million for the prior year comparable period. The increase in net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily due to the $19.8 million gain on sale of containers to NCI, the increases in the Company’s owned fleet size and per diem rental rates and the improvement in utilization.
Net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders per diluted common share for the second quarter 2011 was $1.03, which was an increase of $0.52 per share, or 102%, from the $0.51 per share for the prior year comparable quarter. Net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.78, which was an increase of $0.77 per share, or 76%, from the $1.01 per share for the prior year comparable period.
John A. Maccarone, President and Chief Executive Officer of Textainer, commented, “Textainer achieved solid results for the second quarter of 2011 aided by a record $556.2 million of orders of new containers and $204.8 million on used containers, for a total of $761 million of capital expenditures year-to-date, a new record. Continued record high utilization and historically high sales prices for our older containers being retired from marine service also contributed to our results. With 78% of our fleet committed to long-term and direct financing leases, we expect to continue to provide our shareholders with a sizeable contracted revenue stream. Also, as a result of a capital restructuring of TMCL, TL now owns 100% of TMCL, eliminating the related noncontrolling equity interest. This transaction simplifies our capital structure.”
Mr. Maccarone concluded, “Textainer’s Board declared a dividend increase for the sixth consecutive quarter. Our second quarter 2011 dividend represents an increase of 6.5% from our previous quarterly payout and continues our record of stable or increasing dividends.”
Outlook
Industry
While in-fleet container utilization continues to remain at historic highs, demand for our new standard dry-freight containers began to slow during the second quarter. We did not order any new standard dry freight containers for July or August production because we had an ample supply available from new production through June. Unless the traditional peak season occurs during August and September, it is unlikely that we will order new standard dry-freight containers for the next few months. Conversely, the demand for refrigerated containers remains strong. We have already ordered more than twice as many refrigerated containers for delivery through December 2011 than in each of the three previous full years.
At this point, we expect that high in-fleet utilization will continue through at least the remainder of 2011.
Strategic Focus
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, we are in a strong position to continue purchasing both new and used containers to meet market demand and maintain our industry leading position.
Dividend
On August 5, 2011, Textainer’s board of directors approved and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per share on Textainer’s issued and outstanding common shares, payable on August 26, 2011 to shareholders of record as of August 19, 2011. This dividend is an increase of $0.02 per share from the prior quarter and will continue Textainer’s history of paying constant or higher dividends every quarter since our October 2007 initial public offering. Combined, these dividends have averaged 45% of net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders excluding unrealized losses on interest rate swaps, net and gain on sale of containers to NCI(1) during this period. The current dividend represents 40% of net income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders excluding unrealized losses on interest rate swaps, net and gain on sale of containers to NCI(1) for the second quarter.

Forward-looking statements include statements that are not statements of historical facts and include, without limitation, statements regarding: (i) Textainer’s expectation that it will continue to provide its shareholders with a sizeable contracted revenue stream; (ii) Textainer’s belief that, unless the traditional peak season occurs during August and September, it is unlikely that Textainer will order new standard dry-freight containers for the next few months; (iii) Textainer’s belief that, at this point, it expects that high in-fleet utilization will continue through at least the remainder of 2011; (iv) the timing for deliveries of new standard dry-freight containers and new refrigerated containers; and (v) 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. 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: any deceleration or reversal of the current domestic and global economic recoveries may materially and negatively impact our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and future prospects; lease rates may decrease, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition and lessee defaults may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition by decreasing 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 could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition; 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, which would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition; 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 and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition; 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.
