Equity Method Investments    
Advanced Engine Repair JV
In December 2016, the Company invested $15,000 for 25% interest in an advanced engine repair joint venture. The Company will focus on developing new costs savings programs for engine repairs. The Company exercises significant influence over this investment and accounts for this investment as an equity method investment. The Company’s proportionate share of equity in losses was $1,276 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
JGP
In 2016, the Company initiated activities in a 50% non-controlling interest in JGP, a joint venture. JGP is governed by a designated operating committee selected by the members in proportion to their equity interests. JGP is solely reliant on its members to finance its activities and therefore is a variable interest entity. The Company concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of JGP as the members share equally in the risks and rewards and decision making authority of the entity; therefore, the Company does not consolidate JGP and instead accounts for this investment in accordance with the equity method. The Company’s proportionate share of equity in losses was $322 and $18 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Intermodal Finance I, Ltd.
In 2012, the Company acquired a 51% non-controlling interest in Intermodal Finance I, Ltd. (“Intermodal”), a joint venture. Intermodal is governed by a board of directors, and its shareholders have voting rights through their equity interests. As such, Intermodal is not within the scope of ASC 810-20 and should be evaluated for consolidation under the voting interest model. Due to the existence of substantive participating rights of the 49% equity investor, including the joint approval of material operating and capital decisions, such as material contracts and capital expenditures consistent with ASC 810-10-25-11, the Company does not have unilateral rights over this investment; therefore, the Company does not consolidate Intermodal but accounts for this investment in accordance with the equity method. The Company does not have a variable interest in this investment as none of the criteria of ASC 810-10-15-14 were met.
As of December 31, 2017, Intermodal owns a portfolio of multiple finance leases, representing five customers and comprising approximately 24,000 shipping containers, as well as a portfolio of approximately 10,000 shipping containers subject to multiple operating leases. During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, Intermodal Finance I, Ltd. recorded an asset impairment charge of $0, $6,016 and $20,604, respectively, which resulted from certain operating leases not being renewed and containers being returned at a faster pace than expected. The Company's proportionate share of the impairment charge was $0, $3,068 and $10,508 based on its 51% ownership percentage for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company’s proportionate share of equity in (losses) earnings was $(189), $(5,974), $(6,956) for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively.
The audited consolidated financial statements of Intermodal as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, are presented herein.
