Textainer Group Holdings Limited Reports Third-Quarter Results

HAMILTON, Bermuda--()--Textainer Group Holdings Limited (NYSE:TGH) (“Textainer”, “the Company”, “we” and “our”), one of the world’s largest lessors of intermodal containers, reported third-quarter 2016 results.

Financial and Business Summaries

Textainer’s third quarter 2016 financial results were significantly impacted by Hanjin Shipping Co.’s (“Hanjin”) bankruptcy filing. On August 31, 2016, Hanjin, filed for bankruptcy protection in South Korea, the United States and certain other countries in which it previously conducted business. Textainer had approximately 114,000 containers on lease to Hanjin, representing 6.4% of its total fleet, on both operating and direct finance leases.

  • Lease rental income of $110.9 million for the quarter, a decrease of $18.3 million (or 14.2 percent) from the prior year quarter; $4.8 million of this reduction was due to Hanjin. Lease rental income adjusted for Hanjin decreased 10.5 percent from the prior year quarter;
  • Financial impact for the quarter as of result of the bankruptcy of Hanjin was $44.0 million (or $0.78 per diluted common share);
  • Decreased estimated future residual values and increased the estimated useful lives of certain equipment types resulting in $15.0 million (or $0.26 per diluted common share) of additional depreciation expense for the quarter;
  • Recorded $16.5 million (or $0.29 per diluted common share) of container impairments to write down our inventory of containers that are pending disposal for the quarter to their fair market value;
  • Net loss attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders of $45.9 million for the quarter, or $0.81 per diluted common share;
  • Adjusted net loss (1) of $52.3 million for the quarter, or $0.92 per diluted common share; and
  • Utilization averaging 95.4 percent for the quarter and is currently at 94.6 percent, which includes the equipment on-lease to Hanjin;

“Our third quarter results were negatively affected by several significant factors the biggest of which was the bankruptcy filing by Hanjin. We recorded $22.1 million of container impairments net of estimated insurance proceeds of $20.2 million, $17.1 million of bad debt provision net of estimated insurance proceeds of $2.6 million which combined with $4.8 million of revenue reduction, resulted in a $44.0 million (or $0.78 per dilute common share) negative financial impact for the quarter as a result of the bankruptcy of Hanjin,” commented Philip K. Brewer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Textainer Group Holdings Limited. “In addition to Hanjin, our results were hurt by ongoing impairments due to low used container prices which also prompted our decision to reduce residual values for certain equipment types.”

“To date, we have recovered, booked or approved to recover for turn-in 41% of our containers on lease to Hanjin. We are also actively negotiating the release of another 26% of our containers. As many Hanjin containers are still with shippers, on vessels or held by shipping terminals, we are unable currently to accurately predict the effect of future estimates to be made on the recovery. At this time, we expect to recover between 70% to 90% of our containers. We have $80 million of insurance to cover unrecoverable containers, lost revenue and recovery and repair costs. Due largely to the expected level of these costs and the significant amount of lost revenue, we expect our losses will exceed our insurance coverage.”

“The Hanjin bankruptcy and ongoing impairments are overshadowing recent improvements in the lease-out market. New container prices have increased by about $400 per CEU since the low point of the year. More importantly, rental rates on new and depot container lease-outs have increased significantly to levels not seen for several years. There is very little new container inventory available for lease and our unbooked depot inventory is at its lowest level since the third quarter 2015. After adjusting for Hanjin recoveries, our lease-out to turn-in ratio for the third quarter was 1.7:1.0. Sales prices for disposal containers have improved by $100-$200 or more in certain regions. All of these factors are resulting in improved returns on both new and existing containers,” added Mr. Brewer.

“Notwithstanding these improvements in market conditions, the Board made the very difficult decision to eliminate our dividend. This was not an easy decision but was made in the best interests of the company and its shareholders. Our Board recognizes the value shareholders place on dividends and will review this decision as market conditions change.”

“Adjusted net (loss) income” and “adjusted EBITDA” are Non-GAAP Measures that are reconciled to GAAP measures in footnote 2. “Adjusted net (loss) income” is defined as net (loss) 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 (benefit) expense and net (loss) income attributable to the non-controlling interests (“NCI”). “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net (loss) 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 (benefit) expense, net (loss) income attributable to the NCI, depreciation expense, container impairment, amortization expense and the related impact of reconciling items on net (loss) income attributable to the NCI. Footnote 2 provides certain qualifications and limitations on the use of Non-GAAP Measures.

Third-Quarter Results

Textainer’s third quarter results compared to the prior year quarter were negatively impacted primarily by container impairments and bad debt expense related to Hanjin’s bankruptcy, our decision to reduce the estimated future residual values on certain equipment types and an increase in container impairments due to a decrease in used container prices and an increase in the quantity of containers designated for disposal. Furthermore, lease rental income decreased due to a decrease in average rental rates, lower utilization and lost revenue from the Hanjin bankruptcy, partially offset by an increase in our owned fleet and an increase in direct container expense primarily due to an increase in storage costs resulting from lower utilization and higher storage rates.

In August 2016, Hanjin filed for bankruptcy. The Company maintains insurance to cover the value of containers that are unlikely to be recovered from its customers, the cost to recover containers, up to 183 days of lost lease rental income and a portion of the accounts receivable balance. Our third quarter 2016 results included a $17.4 million impairment to write down the carrying value of containers on terminated direct financing leases to Hanjin to their estimated fair market value. An impairment of $4.8 million was also recognized for $24.9 million of containers unlikely to be recovered, net of $20.1 million of anticipated insurance proceeds. These impairments net of estimated insurance proceeds totaled $22.1 million. In addition, bad debt expense of $17.1 million, net of insurance receivable of $2.6 million, was recorded in the third quarter 2016 to fully reserve for Hanjin’s outstanding accounts receivable.

The net book value of all containers in our fleet on lease to Hanjin is approximately $280.2 million, comprised of $88.2 million of finance lease containers and $192.0 million of operating lease containers. The net book value of containers effectively owned by Textainer is $237.0 million or 85% of this total.

We evaluate the estimated future residual values and monitor the sales prices and useful lives of our containers on an ongoing basis. Textainer has experienced a significant decrease in container resale prices as a result of the decreased cost of new containers and an increased in useful lives as a result of shipping lines leasing containers for longer periods. Based on the extended period of lower realized container resale prices and longer useful lives, we decreased the residual values and increased the useful lives of several container types. The decrease in estimated residual values and increase in estimated useful lives resulted in $15.0 million of additional depreciation expense in the third quarter of 2016, of which $4.4 million was a one-time charge for containers that were fully depreciated to the previous residual values.

The changes to our containers’ estimated useful lives and residual values are as follows:

  Estimated Residual Values     Estimated useful life (years)
Container types

Prior July 1, 2016

 

Effective July 1, 2016

Container types

Prior July 1, 2016

 

Effective July 1, 2016

20' standard containers $ 1,050 $ 950 40' standard containers 13 14
40' high cube containers $ 1,450 $ 1,300 20' folding flat containers 14 15
40' standard containers $ 1,300 $ 1,150 20' open top containers 14 15
40' folding flat containers $ 2,000 $ 1,700 40' folding flat containers 14 16

Outlook

“We expect new container production to total 1.6-1.7 million TEU this year, which would be the lowest level of production since 2009. We estimate 1.5 million TEU will be disposed meaning the world’s container fleet will show minimal growth in 2016. If investment in new containers remains at these low levels, the recent increase in rental rates should continue,” noted Mr. Brewer. “New container prices are currently approximately $1,600 per CEU. Increased prices should be further supported by the implementation of water-born paint regulations throughout China during 2017. Used container prices have shown particular strength recently in Asia in part due to the relative shortage of containers available for lease.”

“Notwithstanding this recent strength in new and depot container lease-outs and increases in new and used container prices, the costs of recovering Hanjin containers as well as continued impairments and increases in depreciation expense are expected to outweigh these factors and depress our earnings for at least the next two to three quarters. The relatively low inventory of new and depot containers in Asia should help stimulate demand to lease recovered Hanjin containers. On the other hand, if large quantities of Hanjin containers are sold, the recent increase in disposal prices could be reversed,” concluded Mr. Brewer.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, including:

 
(a) net (loss) income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders to adjusted EBITDA (Adjusted EBITDA defined as net (loss) income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders before interest income and expense, realized and unrealized losses (gains) on interest rate swaps, collars and caps, net, income tax expense, net income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interests (“NCI”), depreciation expense, container impairment, amortization expense and the related impact of reconciling items on net income (loss) attributable to the NCI);
 
(b) net cash provided by operating activities to Adjusted EBITDA;
 
(c) net (loss) income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders to adjusted net (loss) income (defined as net (loss) income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders before the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, unrealized losses (gains) on interest rate swaps, collars and caps, net, the related impact of reconciling items on income tax expense and net income (loss) attributable to the NCI); and
 
(d) net (loss) income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders per diluted common share to adjusted net (loss) income per diluted common share (defined as net (loss) income attributable to Textainer Group Holdings Limited common shareholders per diluted common share before the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, unrealized losses (gains) on interest rate swaps, collars and caps, net, the related impact of reconciling items on income tax expense and net income (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss) 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 losses (gains) 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 (loss) income per diluted common share are useful in evaluating our operating performance because unrealized losses (gains) 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 (loss) income or adjusted net (loss) 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.
