TRITON INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of the Business

Triton International Limited ("Triton" or the "Company"), through its subsidiaries, leases intermodal transportation equipment, primarily maritime containers, and provides maritime container management services through a worldwide network of service subsidiaries, third-party depots and other facilities. The majority of the Company's business is derived from leasing its containers to shipping line customers through a variety of long-term and short-term contractual lease arrangements. The Company also sells containers from its equipment leasing fleet as well as containers specifically acquired for resale from third parties. The Company's registered office is located in Bermuda.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The interim consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 and the consolidated statements of operations, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of shareholders' equity, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. The financial data and the other financial information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements related to these periods are also unaudited. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 or for any other future annual or interim period.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on February 19, 2019. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain changes in presentation have been made to conform the prior period presentation to current period reporting.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the Company's estimates in connection with leasing equipment, including residual values and depreciable lives, values of assets held for sale and other long lived assets, provision for income tax, allowance for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company's equipment leases and trade receivables subject it to potential credit risk. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of each customer's financial condition and credit history. Evaluations of the financial condition and associated credit risk of customers are performed on an ongoing basis. The Company's two largest customers CMA CGM S.A. and Mediterranean Shipping Company S.A., accounted for 21% and 14%, respectively, of the Company's lease billings during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

TRITON INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Accounting Policy Updates

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019. The Company evaluates whether leases are classified as operating or capital in nature based on certain assumptions that require judgment, such as the asset's fair value, the asset's estimated residual value, the interest rate implicit in the lease, and the asset's economic useful life.

For operating leases, the Company records a lease liability based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments and corresponding Right-of-Use ("ROU") asset. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. Lease incentives are recognized for periods of reduced rent or for larger than usual rent escalations over the term of the lease. The benefit of a rent-free period and the cost of future rent escalations are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption whereby a lease liability and corresponding ROU asset will not be recognized when leases, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less.

Capital leases are classified as revenue earning assets and the related depreciation is recorded on the assets. Debt related to capital leases is included in the Company’s debt obligations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequently issued amendments that replaced existing lease accounting guidance. The accounting standard requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset on their balance sheets. The accounting that will be applied by lessors under ASC 842 is largely unchanged from previous GAAP. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, through a cumulative-effect adjustment. Additionally, the Company elected the “package of practical expedients,” which provides: (1) An entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) An entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) An entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. Furthermore, the Company elected the optional transition method and continued to apply the guidance in ASC 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative prior year periods.

At adoption, the Company recognized a lease liability of $10.5 million based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases and corresponding ROU asset of $8.9 million. The Company assessed the requirements from both a lessee and lessor perspective and concluded the adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.  As a result of this adoption, the Company reclassified $14.8 million of cash collections on finance lease receivables, net of income earned, from investing activities to operating activities on its consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.

In August 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). ASU 2017-12 changes the recognition and presentation requirements of hedge accounting, including: eliminating the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness; and presenting all items that affect earnings in the same income statement line item as the hedged item.

The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, and applied the modified retrospective approach. The Company has evaluated the impact of this ASU and concluded the adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326).The guidance affects trade receivables and net investments in leases and requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability.

The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Based on the composition of the Company's receivables, current market conditions and historical credit loss activity, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 2—Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses the following fair value hierarchy when selecting inputs for its valuation techniques, with the highest priority given to Level 1:

• Level 1—quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

• Level 3—unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Fair Value of Debt

The Company does not measure debt, net of unamortized debt costs, at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets. The fair value was measured using Level 2 inputs and the carrying value and fair value are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Liabilities
Total debt - carrying value (1)	$	7,427,632	$	7,595,922
Total debt - fair value	$	7,466,058	$	7,559,063

(1) Excludes unamortized debt costs of $43.7 million and $44.9 million, purchase price debt adjustments of $14.3 million and $16.3 million, and unamortized debt discounts of $5.0 million and $5.3 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Fair Value of Equipment Held for Sale

The Company’s equipment held for sale fair value is measured using Level 2 inputs and is based on recent sales prices and other factors. Equipment held for sale is recorded at the lower of fair value or carrying value and an impairment charge is recorded when the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. The following table summarizes the portion of the Company’s equipment held for sale measured at fair value and the cumulative impairment charges recorded to net gain on sale of leasing equipment through the periods summarized below (in thousands):

	March 31, 2019			December 31, 2018
Assets
Equipment held for sale - assets at fair value (1)	$	8,429		$	5,750
Cumulative impairment charges (2)	$	(2,501	)	$	(1,846	)

(1) Represents the fair value of containers included in equipment held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets that have been impaired to write down the carrying value of the containers to their estimated fair value less costs to sell.

(2) Represents the cumulative impairment charges recognized on equipment held for sale from the date of designated held for sale status to the indicated period end date.

The Company recognized net impairment charges of $1.4 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The Company has elected to use the income approach to value its interest rate swap agreements, using Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount (discounted). The Level 2 inputs for the interest rate swap and cap valuations are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR and swap rates, basis swap adjustments and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals).

The Company presents the gross assets and liabilities of its derivative financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheet. Any amounts of cash collateral received or posted related to derivative instruments are included in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheet and are presented in operating activities of the consolidated statements of cash flows. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had posted $1.3 million as cash collateral related to interest rate swap contracts.

The fair value of derivative instruments on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows (in thousands):

	Asset Derivatives				Liability Derivatives
Derivative Instrument	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018			March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Interest rate swap contracts, designated	$	2,173	$	10,531		$	19,487	$	10,966
Interest rate swap contracts, not designated	2,407		3,392			—		—
Total derivatives	$	4,580	$	13,923		$	19,487	$	10,966

Fair Value of Other Assets and Liabilities

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, equipment purchases payable and accounts payable carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s other financial and non-financial assets, which include leasing equipment, net investment in finance leases, intangible assets and goodwill, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, and the Company determines that these other financial and non-financial assets are impaired after completing an evaluation, these assets would be written down to their fair value.

Note 3—Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are comprised of above market lease intangibles and customer intangibles related to the chassis and tank customer lists from a business combination. The following table summarizes the intangible assets amortization as of March 31, 2019 (in thousands):

Years ending December 31,	Above market lease intangibles		Customer intangibles (1)		Total intangible assets

Note 4—Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for share-based payment transactions based on the grant date’s fair value. The expense is recognized over the employee's requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the equity award. The Company recognized $1.8 million and $2.5 million of share-based compensation expense in administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Share-based compensation expense includes charges for performance-based shares that are deemed probable to vest.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

As of March 31, 2019, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted shares was approximately $12.6 million, which is expected to be recognized through 2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued 168,731 time-based and performance-based restricted shares, and canceled 31,506 vested shares to settle payroll taxes on behalf of employees. Additional shares may be accrued and issued based upon the Company's performance measured against selected peers. On February 12, 2019, the Company issued1,500 shares to a non-employee director at a fair value of $33.30 per share that vested immediately.

Note 5—Other Equity Matters

Share Repurchase Program

On August 1, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of its common shares. Purchases under the repurchase program may be made in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, and may include transactions pursuant to a repurchase plan administered in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Purchases may be made from time to time at the Company’s discretion and the timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined based on share price, market conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common shares, and the Company may suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 2,636,534 common shares at an average price per-share of $31.56 for a total of $83.3 million. As of March 31, 2019, the Company purchased $141.4 million of the $200.0 million common share repurchase authorized by the Board in August 2018. 

Preferred Share Offering

In March 2019, the Company completed a public offering of 8.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares ("Series A shares"), selling 3,450,000 shares and generating $86.3 million of gross proceeds. The estimated costs associated with the offering, inclusive of underwriting discount and other offering expenses, were $3.2 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including purchasing containers, repurchasing outstanding common shares, payment of dividends and repaying or repurchasing outstanding indebtedness.

Dividends on the Series A shares are cumulative from the date of original issue and will be payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors. Dividends will be payable out of amounts legally available at the rate equal to 8.50% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share, or $2.125 per share per year.

At any time on or after March 15, 2024, the Series A shares may be redeemed at the Company's option, in whole or in part, out of funds legally available at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption, whether or not declared. The Company may also redeem the Series A shares in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event as defined in the Certificate of Designations (the "Certificate of Designations") relating to the Series A shares. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, holders of the Series A shares will have the right to convert their Series A shares into common shares in accordance with the Certificate of Designations. Holders of the Series A shares generally have no voting rights, except as provided in the following sentence or as provided by Bermuda law. If the Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive), holders will be entitled to elect two additional directors to the Board of Directors and the size of the Board of Directors will be increased to accommodate such election. Such right to elect two directors will continue until such time as there are no accumulated and unpaid dividends in arrears.

(1) At the inception of the lease, the Company records the total minimum lease payments net of executory costs, if any. The gross finance lease receivable is reduced as billed to the customer and reclassified to accounts receivable until paid. There were no executory costs included in gross finance lease receivables as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

(2) The Company's leases generally include a bargain purchase option and therefore, the Company has immaterial residual value risk for assets that are subject to direct finance leases.

(3) The difference between the gross finance lease receivable and the fair value of the equipment at the lease inception is recorded as unearned income. Unearned income together with initial direct costs, are amortized to income over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return. There were no unamortized initial direct costs as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The Company considers an account past due when a payment has not been received in accordance with the terms of the related lease agreement and maintains allowances, if necessary, for doubtful accounts and estimated losses resulting from the inability of its lessees to make required payments under finance leases. These allowances are based on, but not limited to, each lessee’s payment history, management’s current assessment of each lessee’s financial condition and the recoverability. Any accounts in arrears are transferred out of finance lease to determine if a reserve needs to be applied. As of March 31, 2019, the Company does not have an allowance on its gross finance lease receivables.

The Company evaluates potential losses in its finance lease portfolio by regularly reviewing the specific receivables in the

portfolio and analyzing loss experience.

Institutional Notes

In accordance with the institutional note agreements, interest payments on the Company's institutional notes are due semi-annually. Institutional note maturities typically range from 7 - 12 years, with level principal payments due annually following an interest-only period. The Company's institutional notes are pre-payable (in whole or in part) at the Company's option at any time, subject to certain provisions in the note agreements, including the payment of a make-whole premium in respect to such prepayment.

These institutional notes had a contractual weighted average interest rate of 4.73% as of March 31, 2019 and are scheduled to mature between 2020 and 2029.

Asset-Backed Securitization Term Notes

Under the Company’s Asset-Backed Securitization (“ABS”) facilities, indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company issue asset-backed notes. The ABS facilities are intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings.

The Company’s borrowings under the ABS facilities amortize in monthly installments, typically in level payments over five or more years. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment generally in the range from 77% to 87%. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment is determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per U.S. GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three to nine months of interest expense depending on the terms of each facility.

These asset-backed securitization term notes had a contractual weighted average interest rate of 3.95% as of March 31, 2019 and are scheduled to mature between 2022 and 2028.

Term Loan Facilities

The term loan facilities amortize in monthly or quarterly installments.

These term loan facilities had a contractual weighted average interest rate of 4.06% as of March 31, 2019, and are scheduled to mature between 2019 and 2023.

Asset-Backed Securitization Warehouse Facilities

Under the Company’s asset-backed warehouse facilities, indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company issue asset-backed notes. The asset-backed warehouse facilities are intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The Company's asset-backed warehouse facilities have a combined maximum borrowing capacity of $1,200.0 million as of March 31, 2019. One facility has a borrowing capacity of $400.0 million, which is available on a revolving basis until September 28, 2020, after which any borrowings would convert to term notes with a maturity date of September 20, 2024. This facility has a contractual interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.85% margin until the conversion date when it would have a contractual interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.85%.

On February 8, 2019, the Company increased its borrowing capacity on a second facility by $300.0 million to $800.0 million. This facility is available on a revolving basis until December 13, 2021, paying interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%, after which any borrowings will convert to term notes with a maturity date of December 15, 2025, paying interest at LIBOR plus2.85%.

During the revolving period, the borrowing capacity under these facilities are determined by applying an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The advance rate for these facilities is 81%. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment is determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per U.S. GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three months of interest expense.

As of March 31, 2019, the asset-backed warehouse facilities had a contractual weighted average interest rate of 4.24%.

Revolving Credit Facilities

The revolving credit facilities have a maximum borrowing capacity of $1,235.0 million. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The approximate average advance rate for these facilities is 83%. The revolving credit facilities had a contractual weighted average interest rate of 4.49% as of March 31, 2019 and are scheduled to mature between 2022 and 2023.

Capital Lease Obligations

The Company has entered into a series of direct finance lease transactions with various financial institutions to finance chassis and containers. Each lease is accounted for as a capital lease, with interest expense recognized on a level yield basis over the period preceding early purchase options, if any, which is generally three to ten years from the transaction date. These agreements have fixed interest rates ranging from 3.60% to 4.93%, and mature between 2019 and 2024.

Note 8—Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Hedging

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate swap agreements are utilized to limit the Company's exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of its floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. These agreements involve the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the lives of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. The counterparties to the Company's interest rate swap agreements are highly rated financial institutions. In the unlikely event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company's exposure is limited to the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each monthly settlement period over the life of the agreements. The Company does not anticipate any non-performance by the counterparties. Substantially all of the assets of certain indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company have been pledged as collateral for the underlying indebtedness and the amounts payable under the interest rate swap agreements for each of these entities. In addition, certain assets of the Company's subsidiaries, are pledged as collateral for various credit facilities and the amounts payable under certain interest rate swap agreements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company entered into the following interest rate swaps:

Date Effective	Notional Amount	Indexed To	Scheduled Maturity
March 29, 2019	$100.0 million	1 month LIBOR	March 31, 2026

Note 9—Segment and Geographic Information

Segment Information

The Company operates its business in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and has two operating segments which also represent its reporting segments:

• Equipment leasing—the Company owns, leases and ultimately disposes of containers and chassis from its lease fleet.

• Equipment trading—the Company purchases containers from shipping line customers, and other sellers of containers, and resells these containers to container retailers and users of containers for storage or one-way shipment. Included in the equipment trading segment revenues are leasing revenues from equipment purchased for resale that is currently on lease until the containers are dropped off.

These operating segments were determined based on the chief operating decision maker's review and resource allocation of the products and service offered.

The following tables summarize segment information and the consolidated totals reported (in thousands):

There are no intercompany revenues or expenses between segments. Certain administrative expenses have been allocated between segments based on an estimate of services provided to each segment. A portion of the Company's equipment purchased for resale was purchased through certain sale-leaseback transactions with its shipping line customers. Due to the expected longer-term nature of these transactions, these purchases are reflected as leasing equipment as opposed to equipment held for sale and the cash flows associated with these transactions are reflected as purchases of leasing equipment and proceeds from the sale of equipment in investing activities in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.

Geographic Segment Information

The Company generates the majority of its leasing revenues from international containers which are deployed by its customers in a wide variety of global trade routes. The majority of the Company's leasing related revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars.

The following table summarizes the geographic allocation of equipment leasing revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 based on the Company's customers' primary domicile (in thousands):

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The statements in this discussion regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described under "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 with the SEC on February 19, 2019 (the "Form 10-K"), in this Report on Form 10-Q and in any other Form 10-Q filed or to be filed by us, and in other documents we file with the SEC from time to time. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.

Our Company

Triton International Limited ("Triton", "we", "our", and the "Company") is the world's largest lessor of intermodal containers. Intermodal containers are large, standardized steel boxes used to transport freight by ship, rail or truck. Because of the handling efficiencies they provide, intermodal containers are the primary means by which many goods and materials are shipped internationally. We also lease chassis which are used for the transportation of containers.

We operate our business in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and have two business segments, which also represent our reporting segments:

• Equipment leasing - we own, lease and ultimately dispose of containers and chassis from our lease fleet.

• Equipment trading - we purchase containers from shipping line customers, and other sellers of containers, and resell these containers to container retailers and users of containers for storage or one-way shipment.

Operations

Our consolidated operations include the acquisition, leasing, re-leasing and subsequent sale of multiple types of intermodal containers and chassis. As of March 31, 2019, our total fleet consisted of 3.7 million containers and chassis, representing 6.1 million twenty-foot equivalent units ("TEU") or 7.6 million cost equivalent units ("CEU"). We have an extensive global presence, offering leasing services through 23 offices in 16 countries and approximately 400 third-party container depot facilities in approximately 45 countries as of March 31, 2019. Our primary customers include the world's largest container shipping lines. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our twenty largest customers accounted for 85% of our lease billings, our five largest customers accounted for 54% of our lease billings, and our two largest customers, CMA CGM S.A. and Mediterranean Shipping Company S.A., accounted for 21% and 14% of our lease billings, respectively.

The most important driver of profitability in our business is the extent to which leasing revenues, which are driven by our owned equipment fleet size, utilization and average rental rates, exceed our ownership and operating costs. Our profitability is also driven by the gains or losses we realize on the sale of used containers in the ordinary course of our business.

We lease five types of equipment: (1) dry containers, which are used for general cargo such as manufactured component parts, consumer staples, electronics and apparel, (2) refrigerated containers, which are used for perishable items such as fresh and frozen foods, (3) special containers, which are used for heavy and over-sized cargo such as marble slabs, building products and machinery, (4) tank containers, which are used to transport bulk liquid products such as chemicals, and (5) chassis, which are used for the transportation of containers. Our in-house equipment sales group manages the sale process for our used containers and chassis from our equipment leasing fleet and buys and sells used and new containers and chassis acquired from third parties.

The following tables summarize our equipment fleet as of March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018 indicated in units, TEU and CEU.

Total	7,587,826	7,595,948	7,135,749

(1) In the equipment fleet tables above, we have included total fleet count information based on CEU. CEU is a ratio used to convert the actual number of containers in our fleet to a figure based on the relative purchase prices of our various equipment types to that of a 20-foot dry container. For example, the CEU ratio for a 40-foot high cube dry container is 1.68, and a 40-foot high cube refrigerated container is 10.0. The CEU ratios used in this calculation are from our debt agreements and may differ slightly from CEU ratios used by others in the industry.

The following table summarizes the percentage of our equipment fleet in terms of units and CEU as of March 31, 2019:

Equipment Type	Percentage of total fleet in units		Percentage of total fleet in CEU
Dry	89.8	%	62.5	%
Refrigerated	6.2		29.8
Special	2.5		2.9
Tank	0.3		2.7
Chassis	0.7		1.4
Equipment leasing fleet	99.5		99.3
Equipment trading fleet	0.5		0.7
Total	100.0	%	100.0	%

We generally lease our equipment on a per diem basis to our customers under three types of leases:

• Long-term leases typically have initial contractual terms ranging from three to eight years and provide us with stable cash flow and low transaction costs by requiring customers to maintain specific units on-hire for the duration of the lease.

• Finance leases are typically structured as full payout leases and provide for a predictable recurring revenue stream with the lowest cost to the customer as customers are generally required to retain the equipment for the duration of its useful life.

• Service leases command a premium per diem rate in exchange for providing customers with greater operational flexibility by allowing non-scheduled pick-up and drop-off of units during the lease term.

We also have expired long-term leases whose fixed terms have ended but for which the related units remain on-hire and for which we continue to receive rental payments pursuant to the terms of the initial contract. Some leases have contractual terms that have features reflective of both long-term and service leases and we classify such leases as either long-term or service leases, depending upon which features we believe are predominant.

23

The following table summarizes our lease portfolio by lease type, based on CEU on-hire as of March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018:

Lease Portfolio	March 31, 2019(1)		December 31, 2018		March 31, 2018
Long-term leases	64.8	%	66.6	%	69.7	%
Finance leases	7.6		7.5		4.9
Service leases	11.1		11.3		15.9
Expired long-term leases (units on-hire)	16.5		14.6		9.5
Total	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

(1)     Including the impact of leases renegotiated during April 2019, long-term leases increased to 66.9%, offset by a decrease to service leases.

As of March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, our long-term and finance leases combined had an average remaining contractual term of approximately 49 months, 47 months, and 42 months, respectively, assuming no leases are renewed.

Operating Performance

Triton's operating performance remained solid in the first quarter of 2019, though market conditions were mixed. Key metrics such as fleet utilization and used container sale prices remained strong, while new lease transaction activity and container pick-ups were slow.

The first quarter typically represents the slow season for dry containers, and this typical seasonal weakness has likely been compounded by increased uncertainty related to the ongoing trade dispute between the United States and China. However, industry forecasters and our customers continue to expect moderate trade growth in 2019, and we expect lease transaction activity and container pick-ups to accelerate as we move toward the traditional summer peak season for dry containers.

Fleet size. As of March 31, 2019, our fleet had a net book value of $9.3 billion, which represents an increase of 6.6% as compared to March 31, 2018. The increase in our fleet size was largely due to a $1.5 billion investment in new containers during 2018. Procurement levels have been limited in the first quarter of 2019 due to the slower pace of new lease transaction activity, and through April 22, 2019, we have invested $143.2 million in containers for delivery in 2019.

Utilization. Our utilization averaged 97.6% during the first quarter of 2019, down 1.0% from the first quarter of 2018. The overall supply / demand balance for containers remains generally tight, though normal drop-off activity coupled with decreased levels of container pick-ups caused our utilization to decrease during the last two quarters. In general, we expect our utilization will remain fairly high throughout 2019, though the trajectory will depend on the level of container demand we experience as we approach the traditional summer peak season for dry containers. As of April 22, 2019, our utilization was 97.3%.

The following table summarizes the equipment fleet utilization⁽¹⁾ for the periods indicated below:

	Quarter Ended
	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018		September 30, 2018		June 30, 2018		March 31, 2018
Average Utilization (1)	97.6	%	98.2	%	98.7	%	98.8	%	98.6	%
Ending Utilization (1)	97.4	%	97.8	%	98.6	%	98.7	%	98.7	%

(1) Utilization is computed by dividing our total units on lease (in CEU) by the total units in our fleet (in CEU) excluding new units not yet leased and off-hire units designated for sale.

Average lease rates. Average lease rates for our dry container product line increased by 0.7% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 but declined 1.0% from the fourth quarter of 2018 reflecting the impact of several large lease extensions completed during the first quarter 2019 at rates below our portfolio average. Market lease rates decreased during the fourth quarter 2018 and first quarter 2019 mainly due to a decrease in new container prices. New dry container prices have partially rebounded, though market lease rates remain below our portfolio average.

Average lease rates for our refrigerated container product line decreased by 3.6% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018. The cost of refrigerated containers has trended down over the last few years, which has led to lower market

24

lease rates. Market lease rates for refrigerated containers have also been pressured for several years by new leasing company entrants. Market lease rates for refrigerated containers remain below the average lease rates of our refrigerated container lease portfolio, and we expect our average lease rates for refrigerated containers to continue to gradually trend down.

The average lease rates for special containers decreased by 0.9% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018. Current market lease rates for special containers are comparable to the average lease rates in our lease portfolio.

Equipment disposals. Disposal volumes of our used dry containers increased39.0% in the first quarter of 2019 from the first quarter of 2018 mainly as a result of increased redeliveries. Average used dry container disposal prices decreased by 5.5% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018, reflecting an increase in inventories of containers held for sale and lower new container prices, though our average used container selling prices remain above our accounting residual values.

Credit Risk.    We faced minimal credit losses in the first quarter of 2019. However, our credit risk remains elevated due to the ongoing financial pressure faced by our shipping line customers. The container shipping industry has faced several years of excess vessel capacity, weak freight rates and poor financial results due to aggressive ordering of mega container vessels. Most of our customers have recently generated financial losses and many are burdened with high levels of debt. In addition, we anticipate the high volume of new vessels entering service over the next several years will complicate our customers’ efforts to increase freight rates, and new environmental regulations expected to become effective in January 2020 will increase the cost of fuel and potentially require our shipping line customers to make large capital outlays. As a result, we expect our customers’ financial performance will remain under pressure for some time. The increased tariffs imposed on certain goods traded between the United States and China and the threat of additional tariffs could lead to reduced trade and lower freight rates and further increase the financial pressure on our customers.

We expect it will become more difficult for us to mitigate our exposure to credit risks in the future through the purchase of credit insurance. We let our credit insurance policies lapse at expiration in December 2016 and early 2017 since underwriters offered significantly reduced coverage and required a meaningful increase in insurance premiums as a result of the bankruptcy of Hanjin Shipping Co. We currently have a more limited credit insurance policy covering accounts receivable owed by some of our customers. This policy offers significantly reduced protections against a major customer default compared to the credit insurance we had in place previously, and the policy has exclusions and payment and other limitations. We continue to monitor the availability and pricing of credit insurance and related products.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

Leasing revenues.    Per diem revenue represents revenue earned under operating lease contracts. Fee and ancillary lease revenue represents fees billed for the pick-up and drop-off of containers in certain geographic locations and billings of certain reimbursable operating costs such as repair and handling expenses. Finance lease revenue represents interest income earned under finance lease contracts. The following table summarizes our leasing revenue for the periods indicated below (in thousands):

	Three months ended  March 31,
	2019		2018		Variance
Leasing revenues:
Operating leases
Per diem revenues	$	315,352	$	300,692	$	14,660
Fee and ancillary revenues	15,070		9,539		5,531
Total operating lease revenues	330,422		310,231		20,191
Finance leases	10,437		4,866		5,571
Total leasing revenues	$	340,859	$	315,097	$	25,762

Total leasing revenues were $340.9 million, net of lease intangible amortization of $10.7 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $315.1 million, net of lease intangible amortization of $17.3 million, in the same period in 2018, an increase of $25.8 million.

Per diem revenues were $315.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $300.7 million in the same period in 2018, an increase of $14.7 million. The primary reasons for this increase are as follows:

• $17.2 million increase due to an increase of 373,566 CEU in the average number of containers on-hire under operating leases;

• $6.6 million increase due to reduced lease intangible amortization; partially offset by

• $9.7 million decrease due to the reclassification of certain contracts from operating leases to finance leases in the fourth quarter of 2018 as a result of the renegotiation and extension of the contracts.

Fee and ancillary lease revenues were $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $9.5 million in the same period in 2018, an increase of $5.6 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in redelivery fees associated with a higher volume of container redeliveries.

Finance lease revenues were $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $4.9 million in the same period in 2018, an increase of $5.5 million. The increase was due to the addition of several finance leases, primarily in the fourth quarter of 2018, as a result of the renegotiation and extension of certain contracts that were reclassified from operating leases to finance leases. This increase was partially offset by the runoff of the existing portfolio.

Trading margin.    Trading margin was $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $3.0 million in the same period in 2018, an increase of $0.6 million. The increase was due to an increase in trading volume and per unit margins.

Net gain (loss) on sale of leasing equipment.    Gain on sale of equipment was $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $9.2 million in the same period in 2018, a decrease of $0.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to a 5.5%decrease in average used dry container selling prices, which also contributed to an increase in impairment charges of $0.4 million. These decreases were partially offset by a 39.0% increase in selling volumes and an increase in disposal gains of $0.7 million related to units declared lost by customers.

Depreciation and amortization.    Depreciation and amortization was $134.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $130.4 million in the same period in 2018, an increase of $4.2 million. The primary reasons for the increase are as follows:

• $14.3 million increase due to a net increase in the size of our depreciable fleet, partially offset by

• $4.9 million decrease due to an increase in the number of containers that are fully depreciated; and

• $5.3 million decrease due to the reclassification of certain contracts from operating leases to finance leases in the fourth quarter of 2018 as a result of the renegotiation and extension of the contracts.

27

Direct operating expenses.    Direct operating expenses primarily consist of our costs to repair equipment returned off lease, to store the equipment when it is not on lease and to reposition equipment that has been returned to locations with weak leasing demand. Direct operating expenses were $16.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $11.0 million in the same period in 2018, an increase of $5.8 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $3.5 million in storage expense as a result of a decrease in utilization and a $2.3 million increase in repair expense due to an increase in the volume of redeliveries.

Administrative expenses.    Administrative expenses were $18.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $19.6 million in the same period in 2018, a decrease of $1.4 million primarily due to a decrease of $0.9 million in payroll and benefit expenses and a decrease of $0.5 million in professional fees.

Provision (reversal) for doubtful accounts.    Reversal for doubtful accounts was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 due to recoveries on previously reserved customer balances.

Interest and debt expense.    Interest and debt expense was $83.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $75.1 million in the same period in 2018, an increase of $8.4 million. The primary reasons for the increase are as follows:

• $5.7 million increase due to an increase in our average debt balance of $530.0 million and

• $2.7 million increase due to an increase in the average effective interest rate to 4.45% compared to 4.31% in the same period in 2018. The increase in the effective interest rate was primarily due to an increase in short-term interest rates on our unhedged variable-rate debt facilities. 

Realized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net.     Realized gain on derivative instruments, net was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $0.2 million in the same period in 2018, an increase of $0.5 million. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the average one-month LIBOR rate, partially offset by the reduction of the underlying swap notional amounts due to amortization, terminations, and expirations in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.

Unrealized loss (gain) on derivative instruments. Unrealized loss on derivative instruments, net was $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to a gain of $1.2 million in the same period in 2018. The unrealized loss in the first quarter of 2019 was due to a decrease in long-term interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2019 while long-term interest rates increased in the first quarter of 2018.

Income taxes. Income tax expense was $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $10.5 million in the same period in 2018, a decrease in income tax expense of $2.6 million. The decrease in income tax expense was due to an increase in income generated in lower tax jurisdictions in the first three months of 2019.

Income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $2.0 million in the same period in 2018, a decrease of $1.4 million. The Company purchased the majority of the third-party partnership interests in Triton Container Investments LLC previously held as a noncontrolling interest, resulting in a decrease of $1.2 million. Additionally, a decrease of $0.2 million was due to lower income from gains on the disposition of leasing equipment as a result of a reduction in the size of the portfolio of containers owned by the entity in which the noncontrolling interests maintain their ownership.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities, proceeds from the sale of our leasing equipment, and borrowings under our credit facilities. Our principal uses of cash include capital expenditures, debt service requirements, paying dividends, and repurchasing our common shares.

For the trailing twelve months ending March 31, 2019, cash provided by operating activities, together with the proceeds from the sale of our leasing equipment, was $1,218.0 million. In addition, as of March 31, 2019, we had $60.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1,720.0 million of additional borrowing capacity under our current credit facilities.

As of March 31, 2019, our cash commitments in the next twelve months include $963.7 million of scheduled principal payments on our existing debt facilities and $114.3 million of committed but unpaid capital expenditures.

28

We believe that cash provided by operating activities, existing cash, proceeds from the sale of our leasing equipment, and availability under our borrowing facilities will be sufficient to meet our obligations over the next twelve months.

Debt Agreements

At March 31, 2019, our outstanding indebtedness was comprised of the following (in millions):

	Amount Outstanding			Maximum Borrowing Level
Institutional notes	$	2,167.3		$	2,167.3
Asset-backed securitization term notes	2,967.6			2,967.6
Term loan facilities	1,504.4			1,504.4
Asset-backed warehouse facility	350.0			1,200.0
Revolving credit facilities	365.0			1,235.0
Capital lease obligations	73.4			73.4
Total debt outstanding	7,427.7			9,147.7
Debt costs	(43.7		)	—
Unamortized debt premiums & discounts	(5.0		)	—
Unamortized fair value debt adjustment	(14.3		)	—
Debt, net of unamortized debt costs	$	7,364.7		$	9,147.7

The maximum borrowing levels depicted in the chart above may not reflect the actual availability under all of the credit facilities. Certain of these facilities are governed by borrowing bases that limit borrowing capacity to an established percentage of relevant assets. As of March 31, 2019, the actual availability under all of our credit facilities was approximately $388.2 million.

As of March 31, 2019, we had a combined $6,237.9 million of total debt on facilities with fixed interest rates or floating interest rates that have been synthetically fixed through interest rate swap contracts. This accounts for 84.0% of total debt.

Pursuant to the terms of certain debt agreements, we are required to maintain certain restricted cash accounts. As of March 31, 2019, we had restricted cash of $116.6 million.

For additional information on our debt obligations, please refer to Note 7 "Debt" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Debt Covenants

We are subject to certain financial covenants under our debt agreements. The debt agreements are the obligations of our subsidiaries and all related debt covenants are calculated at the subsidiary level. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in a default under the related credit agreements and the acceleration of our outstanding debt if we were unable to obtain a waiver from the creditors. As of March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Non-GAAP Measures

We primarily rely on our results measured in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in evaluating our business. The covenant descriptions below include non-GAAP financial measures that are defined in our debt agreements. Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth ("CTNW"), Funded Debt Ratio, Earnings Before Interest and Taxes ("EBIT"), Cash Interest Expense, Tangible Net Worth ("TNW"), and Indebtedness are non-GAAP financial measures defined in our debt agreements that are used to determine our compliance with certain covenants contained in our debt agreements and should not be used as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. However, we believe that the inclusion of this non-GAAP information provides additional information to investors regarding our debt covenant compliance.

TCIL Covenants

The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is the rolling six-quarter ratio of consolidated net income of our TCIL subsidiary available for fixed charges to fixed charges. Consolidated net income available for fixed charges excludes non-cash gains and losses on

29

derivatives instruments, plus cash distributions received from certain unrestricted subsidiaries, plus all fixed charges. Fixed charges are the sum of interest expense and operating rental payments less interest income and the amortization of debt costs.

CTNW of our TCIL subsidiary comprises the equity of TCIL and its restricted subsidiaries, excluding any non-cash gains and/or losses from derivative instruments, less the sum of all intangible assets and restricted investments of TCIL and its subsidiaries. For the purpose of calculating CTNW, TCIL's investments in certain unrestricted subsidiaries are included in equity.

Funded Debt Ratio is the total debt of our TCIL subsidiary to CTNW.

TAL Covenants

EBIT to Cash Interest Expense is the rolling four-quarter ratio of EBIT to Cash Interest Expense for our TAL subsidiary. EBIT is calculated as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, net gain or losses on interest rate swaps, and certain non-cash charges. Cash Interest Expense is calculated as interest expense paid in cash and excludes interest income and amortization of debt costs.

TNW is calculated as total tangible assets less total indebtedness for our TAL subsidiary.

Indebtedness to TNW is calculated as the ratio of Indebtedness to TNW for our TAL subsidiary.

The compliance levels of our primary financial covenants as of March 31, 2019 are summarized as follows:

Financial Covenant	Entity	Covenant Threshold	Actual Value
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio	TCIL	Shall not be less than 1.25:1	2.72:1
Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth	TCIL	Shall not be less than $855 million	$1,744.5 million
Funded Debt Ratio	TCIL	Shall not exceed 4.0:1	3.39:1
EBIT to Cash Interest Expense	TAL	Shall not be less than 1.10:1	2.22:1
Minimum Tangible Net Worth	TAL	Shall not be less than $300 million	$1,014.9 million
Indebtedness to TNW	TAL	Shall not exceed 4.75:1	2.10:1

Share Repurchase Program

On August 1, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of its common shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 2,636,534 common shares at an average price per share of $31.56 for a total of $83.3 million. As of April 22, 2019, the Company purchased $162.0 million of the $200.0 million common shares repurchases authorized by the Board in August 2018.

Preferred Share Offering

In March 2019, the Company completed a public offering of 8.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares, selling 3,450,000 shares and generating $86.3 million of gross proceeds. The estimated costs associated with the offering, inclusive of underwriting discount and other offering expenses, were $3.2 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including purchasing containers, repurchasing outstanding common shares, payment of dividends and repaying or repurchasing outstanding indebtedness.

For additional information, please refer to Note 5 - “Other Equity Matters” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash Flow

The following table sets forth certain cash flow information for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

	Three months ended  March 31,
	2019			2018
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	295,731		$	246,235
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	5,992		$	(219,728	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	(283,943	)	$	(5,686	)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $49.5 million to $295.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $246.2 million in the same period in 2018. The change was primarily due to timing of collections on receivables of $42.5 million and increased profitability of $9.9 million.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities increased by $225.7 million to $6.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to net cash used of $219.7 million in the same period in 2018. The change was primarily due to a $214.7 million decrease in leasing equipment purchases and a $11.1 million increase in proceeds from equipment sales.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased by $278.3 million to $283.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $5.7 million in the same period in 2018. Net borrowings, inclusive of debt issuance costs, under debt facilities decreased by $205.6 million. Additionally, we repurchased $82.3 million of common shares and purchased $71.0 million of noncontrolling interests. These uses of cash were partially offset by net proceeds of $83.1 million from a preferred share offering.

Contractual Obligations

We are party to various operating and capital leases and are obligated to make payments related to our borrowings. We are also obligated under various commercial commitments, including obligations to our equipment manufacturers. Our equipment manufacturer obligations are in the form of conventional accounts payable, and are satisfied by cash flows from operations and financing activities.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of March 31, 2019 (in millions):

	Contractual Obligations by Period
Contractual Obligations:	Total		Remaining 2019		2020		2021		2022		2023		Thereafter

TRITON INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2019, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, which are often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We are, therefore, not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies are discussed in our Form 10-K.

32

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, values or cash flows that may result from changes in the price of a financial instrument. The fair value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, might change as a result of changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes. We have operations internationally and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks include interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks.

Interest Rate Risk

We enter into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rates on a portion of our floating rate debt. We assess and manage the external and internal risk associated with these derivative instruments in accordance with our overall operating goals. External risk is defined as those risks outside of our direct control, including counterparty credit risk, liquidity risk, systemic risk and legal risk. Internal risk relates to those operational risks within the management oversight structure and includes actions taken in contravention of our policies.

The primary external risk of our interest rate swap agreements is counterparty credit exposure, which is defined as the ability of a counterparty to perform its financial obligations under a derivative agreement. All of our derivative agreements are with highly rated financial institutions. Credit exposures are measured based on the market value of outstanding derivative instruments. Both current and potential exposures are calculated for each derivative agreement to monitor counterparty credit exposure.

As of March 31, 2019, we had interest rate swap agreements in place to fix interest rates on a portion of our borrowings under debt facilities with floating interest rates as summarized below:

Derivatives	Net Notional Amount	Weighted Average Fixed Leg (Pay) Interest Rate	Weighted Average Remaining Term
Interest Rate Swap	$1,753.3 Million	2.24%	4.4 years

Certain of our interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, and any unrealized gains or losses related to the changes in fair value are recognized in accumulated comprehensive income and re-classed to interest and debt expense as they are realized. A portion of our swap portfolio is not designated and changes in the fair value of non-designated interest rate swap agreements are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net and reclassified to realized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net as they are realized.

Approximately 60% of our floating rate debt is hedged using interest rate swaps which helps mitigate the impact of changes in short-term interest rates. However, a 100 basis point increase in the interest rates on our floating rate debt (primarily LIBOR) would result in an increase of approximately $10.9 million in interest expense, net of realized gains on our swap instruments, over the next 12 months.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

Although we have significant foreign-based operations, the majority of our revenues and our operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, we pay our non-U.S. employees in local currencies and certain operating expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. Net foreign currency exchange gains and losses were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Our senior management has evaluated the effectiveness and design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), as of March 31, 2019. Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of March 31, 2019, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

33

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, we are a party to litigation matters arising in connection with the normal course of our business. While we cannot predict the outcome of these matters, in the opinion of our management, based on information presently available to us, we believe that we have adequate legal defenses, reserves or insurance coverage and any liability arising from these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business. Nevertheless, unexpected adverse future events, such as an unforeseen development in our existing proceedings, a significant increase in the number of new cases or changes in our current insurance arrangements could result in liabilities that have a material adverse impact on our business.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS.

PURSUANT TO 18 U.S.C. SECTION 1350,

AS ADOPTED PURSUANT TO

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements [Text Block]

Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of the Business

Triton International Limited ("Triton" or the "Company"), through its subsidiaries, leases intermodal transportation equipment, primarily maritime containers, and provides maritime container management services through a worldwide network of service subsidiaries, third-party depots and other facilities. The majority of the Company's business is derived from leasing its containers to shipping line customers through a variety of long-term and short-term contractual lease arrangements. The Company also sells containers from its equipment leasing fleet as well as containers specifically acquired for resale from third parties. The Company's registered office is located in Bermuda.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The interim consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 and the consolidated statements of operations, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of shareholders' equity, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. The financial data and the other financial information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements related to these periods are also unaudited. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 or for any other future annual or interim period.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on February 19, 2019. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain changes in presentation have been made to conform the prior period presentation to current period reporting.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the Company's estimates in connection with leasing equipment, including residual values and depreciable lives, values of assets held for sale and other long lived assets, provision for income tax, allowance for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company's equipment leases and trade receivables subject it to potential credit risk. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of each customer's financial condition and credit history. Evaluations of the financial condition and associated credit risk of customers are performed on an ongoing basis. The Company's two largest customers CMA CGM S.A. and Mediterranean Shipping Company S.A., accounted for 21% and 14%, respectively, of the Company's lease billings during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Accounting Policy Updates

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019. The Company evaluates whether leases are classified as operating or capital in nature based on certain assumptions that require judgment, such as the asset's fair value, the asset's estimated residual value, the interest rate implicit in the lease, and the asset's economic useful life.

For operating leases, the Company records a lease liability based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments and corresponding Right-of-Use ("ROU") asset. The Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. Lease incentives are recognized for periods of reduced rent or for larger than usual rent escalations over the term of the lease. The benefit of a rent-free period and the cost of future rent escalations are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption whereby a lease liability and corresponding ROU asset will not be recognized when leases, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less.

Capital leases are classified as revenue earning assets and the related depreciation is recorded on the assets. Debt related to capital leases is included in the Company’s debt obligations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequently issued amendments that replaced existing lease accounting guidance. The accounting standard requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset on their balance sheets. The accounting that will be applied by lessors under ASC 842 is largely unchanged from previous GAAP. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, through a cumulative-effect adjustment. Additionally, the Company elected the “package of practical expedients,” which provides: (1) An entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) An entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) An entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. Furthermore, the Company elected the optional transition method and continued to apply the guidance in ASC 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative prior year periods.

At adoption, the Company recognized a lease liability of $10.5 million based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases and corresponding ROU asset of $8.9 million. The Company assessed the requirements from both a lessee and lessor perspective and concluded the adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.  As a result of this adoption, the Company reclassified $14.8 million of cash collections on finance lease receivables, net of income earned, from investing activities to operating activities on its consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.

In August 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). ASU 2017-12 changes the recognition and presentation requirements of hedge accounting, including: eliminating the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness; and presenting all items that affect earnings in the same income statement line item as the hedged item.

The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, and applied the modified retrospective approach. The Company has evaluated the impact of this ASU and concluded the adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates

Measurement of CreditLosses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326).The guidance affects trade receivables and net investments in leases and requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability.

The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Based on the composition of the Company's receivables, current market conditions and historical credit loss activity, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2019

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses the following fair value hierarchy when selecting inputs for its valuation techniques, with the highest priority given to Level 1:

• Level 1—quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

• Level 3—unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Fair Value of Debt

The Company does not measure debt, net of unamortized debt costs, at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets. The fair value was measured using Level 2 inputs and the carrying value and fair value are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Liabilities
Total debt - carrying value (1)	$	7,427,632	$	7,595,922
Total debt - fair value	$	7,466,058	$	7,559,063

(1) Excludes unamortized debt costs of $43.7 million and $44.9 million, purchase price debt adjustments of $14.3 million and $16.3 million, and unamortized debt discounts of $5.0 million and $5.3 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Fair Value of Equipment Held for Sale

The Company’s equipment held for sale fair value is measured using Level 2 inputs and is based on recent sales prices and other factors. Equipment held for sale is recorded at the lower of fair value or carrying value and an impairment charge is recorded when the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. The following table summarizes the portion of the Company’s equipment held for sale measured at fair value and the cumulative impairment charges recorded to net gain on sale of leasing equipment through the periods summarized below (in thousands):

	March 31, 2019			December 31, 2018

(1) Represents the fair value of containers included in equipment held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets that have been impaired to write down the carrying value of the containers to their estimated fair value less costs to sell.

(2) Represents the cumulative impairment charges recognized on equipment held for sale from the date of designated held for sale status to the indicated period end date.

The Company recognized net impairment charges of $1.4 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The Company has elected to use the income approach to value its interest rate swap agreements, using Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount (discounted). The Level 2 inputs for the interest rate swap and cap valuations are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR and swap rates, basis swap adjustments and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals).

The Company presents the gross assets and liabilities of its derivative financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheet. Any amounts of cash collateral received or posted related to derivative instruments are included in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheet and are presented in operating activities of the consolidated statements of cash flows. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had posted $1.3 million as cash collateral related to interest rate swap contracts.

The fair value of derivative instruments on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows (in thousands):

	Asset Derivatives				Liability Derivatives
Derivative Instrument	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018			March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Interest rate swap contracts, designated	$	2,173	$	10,531		$	19,487	$	10,966
Interest rate swap contracts, not designated	2,407		3,392			—		—
Total derivatives	$	4,580	$	13,923		$	19,487	$	10,966

Fair Value of Other Assets and Liabilities

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, equipment purchases payable and accounts payable carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s other financial and non-financial assets, which include leasing equipment, net investment in finance leases, intangible assets and goodwill, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, and the Company determines that these other financial and non-financial assets are impaired after completing an evaluation, these assets would be written down to their fair value.

Share Repurchase Program

On August 1, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of its common shares. Purchases under the repurchase program may be made in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, and may include transactions pursuant to a repurchase plan administered in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Purchases may be made from time to time at the Company’s discretion and the timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined based on share price, market conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common shares, and the Company may suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 2,636,534 common shares at an average price per-share of $31.56 for a total of $83.3 million. As of March 31, 2019, the Company purchased $141.4 million of the $200.0 million common share repurchase authorized by the Board in August 2018. 

Preferred Share Offering

In March 2019, the Company completed a public offering of 8.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preference Shares ("Series A shares"), selling 3,450,000 shares and generating $86.3 million of gross proceeds. The estimated costs associated with the offering, inclusive of underwriting discount and other offering expenses, were $3.2 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including purchasing containers, repurchasing outstanding common shares, payment of dividends and repaying or repurchasing outstanding indebtedness.

Dividends on the Series A shares are cumulative from the date of original issue and will be payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors. Dividends will be payable out of amounts legally available at the rate equal to 8.50% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share, or $2.125 per share per year.

At any time on or after March 15, 2024, the Series A shares may be redeemed at the Company's option, in whole or in part, out of funds legally available at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the date of redemption, whether or not declared. The Company may also redeem the Series A shares in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event as defined in the Certificate of Designations (the "Certificate of Designations") relating to the Series A shares. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, holders of the Series A shares will have the right to convert their Series A shares into common shares in accordance with the Certificate of Designations. Holders of the Series A shares generally have no voting rights, except as provided in the following sentence or as provided by Bermuda law. If the Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive), holders will be entitled to elect two additional directors to the Board of Directors and the size of the Board of Directors will be increased to accommodate such election. Such right to elect two directors will continue until such time as there are no accumulated and unpaid dividends in arrears.

The Company considers an account past due when a payment has not been received in accordance with the terms of the related lease agreement and maintains allowances, if necessary, for doubtful accounts and estimated losses resulting from the inability of its lessees to make required payments under finance leases. These allowances are based on, but not limited to, each lessee’s payment history, management’s current assessment of each lessee’s financial condition and the recoverability. Any accounts in arrears are transferred out of finance lease to determine if a reserve needs to be applied. As of March 31, 2019, the Company does not have an allowance on its gross finance lease receivables.

The Company evaluates potential losses in its finance lease portfolio by regularly reviewing the specific receivables in the

portfolio and analyzing loss experience.

The Company is subject to certain financial covenants under its debt agreements. The agreements remain the obligations of the respective subsidiaries, and all related debt covenants are calculated at the subsidiary level. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in accordance with the terms of its debt agreements.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $4,484.6 million of total debt outstanding on facilities with fixed interest rates. These fixed rate facilities had a contractual weighted average interest rate of 4.26%, are scheduled to mature between 2019 and 2029, and had a weighted average remaining term of 3.8 years as of March 31, 2019.

The Company hedges the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on a portion of its floating rate borrowings by entering into interest rate swap agreements that convert a portion of its floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had interest rate swaps in place with a notional amount of $1,753.3 million to fix the floating interest rates on a portion of its floating rate debt obligations, with a weighted average fixed leg interest rate of 2.24% and a weighted average remaining term of 4.4 years. Including the impact of the Company's interest rate swaps, the contractual weighted average interest rate on its floating rate facilities was 4.06% as of March 31, 2019.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $6,237.9 million of total debt on facilities with fixed interest rates or floating interest rates that have been synthetically fixed through interest rate swap contracts. This accounts for 84.0% of total debt. These facilities had a contractual weighted average interest rate of 4.17% and a weighted average remaining term of 4.0 years as of March 31, 2019.

Overall, the Company's total debt had a contractual weighted average interest rate of 4.18% as of March 31, 2019, including the impact of the swap contracts.

The Company did not record any debt termination expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

In accordance with the institutional note agreements, interest payments on the Company's institutional notes are due semi-annually. Institutional note maturities typically range from 7 - 12 years, with level principal payments due annually following an interest-only period. The Company's institutional notes are pre-payable (in whole or in part) at the Company's option at any time, subject to certain provisions in the note agreements, including the payment of a make-whole premium in respect to such prepayment. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment generally in the range from 83% to 85%. These institutional notes had a contractual weighted average interest rate of 4.73% as of March 31, 2019 and are scheduled to mature between 2020 and 2029.

Asset-Backed Securitization Term Notes

Under the Company’s Asset-Backed Securitization (“ABS”) facilities, indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company issue asset-backed notes. The ABS facilities are intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings.

The Company’s borrowings under the ABS facilities amortize in monthly installments, typically in level payments over five or more years. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment generally in the range from 77% to 87%. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment is determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per U.S. GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three to nine months of interest expense depending on the terms of each facility.

These asset-backed securitization term notes had a contractual weighted average interest rate of 3.95% as of March 31, 2019 and are scheduled to mature between 2022 and 2028.

Term Loan Facilities

The term loan facilities amortize in monthly or quarterly installments. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment generally in the range from 79% to 83%. These term loan facilities had a contractual weighted average interest rate of 4.06% as of March 31, 2019, and are scheduled to mature between 2019 and 2023.

Asset-Backed Securitization Warehouse Facilities

Under the Company’s asset-backed warehouse facilities, indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company issue asset-backed notes. The asset-backed warehouse facilities are intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings.

The Company's asset-backed warehouse facilities have a combined maximum borrowing capacity of $1,200.0 million as of March 31, 2019. One facility has a borrowing capacity of $400.0 million, which is available on a revolving basis until September 28, 2020, after which any borrowings would convert to term notes with a maturity date of September 20, 2024. This facility has a contractual interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.85% margin until the conversion date when it would have a contractual interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.85%.

On February 8, 2019, the Company increased its borrowing capacity on a second facility by $300.0 million to $800.0 million. This facility is available on a revolving basis until December 13, 2021, paying interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%, after which any borrowings will convert to term notes with a maturity date of December 15, 2025, paying interest at LIBOR plus2.85%.

During the revolving period, the borrowing capacity under these facilities are determined by applying an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The advance rate for these facilities is 81%. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment is determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per U.S. GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three months of interest expense.

As of March 31, 2019, the asset-backed warehouse facilities had a contractual weighted average interest rate of 4.24%.

Revolving Credit Facilities

The revolving credit facilities have a maximum borrowing capacity of $1,235.0 million. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The approximate average advance rate for these facilities is 83%. The revolving credit facilities had a contractual weighted average interest rate of 4.49% as of March 31, 2019 and are scheduled to mature between 2022 and 2023.

Capital Lease Obligations

The Company has entered into a series of direct finance lease transactions with various financial institutions to finance chassis and containers. Each lease is accounted for as a capital lease, with interest expense recognized on a level yield basis over the period preceding early purchase options, if any, which is generally three to ten years from the transaction date. These agreements have fixed interest rates ranging from 3.60% to 4.93%, and mature between 2019 and 2024.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Hedging

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate swap agreements are utilized to limit the Company's exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of its floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. These agreements involve the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the lives of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. The counterparties to the Company's interest rate swap agreements are highly rated financial institutions. In the unlikely event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company's exposure is limited to the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each monthly settlement period over the life of the agreements. The Company does not anticipate any non-performance by the counterparties. Substantially all of the assets of certain indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company have been pledged as collateral for the underlying indebtedness and the amounts payable under the interest rate swap agreements for each of these entities. In addition, certain assets of the Company's subsidiaries, are pledged as collateral for various credit facilities and the amounts payable under certain interest rate swap agreements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company entered into the following interest rate swaps:

Date Effective	Notional Amount	Indexed To	Scheduled Maturity
March 29, 2019	$100.0 million	1 month LIBOR	March 31, 2026
March 29, 2019	$100.0 million	1 month LIBOR	March 31, 2026

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had interest rate swap agreements in place to fix interest rates on a portion of its borrowings under debt facilities with floating interest rates as summarized below:

Derivatives	Net Notional Amount	Weighted Average Fixed Leg (Pay) Interest Rate	Weighted Average Remaining Term
Interest Rate Swap	$1,753.3 million	2.24%	4.4 years

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment and Geographic Information

Segment and Geographic Information

Segment Information

The Company operates its business in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and has two operating segments which also represent its reporting segments:

• Equipment leasing—the Company owns, leases and ultimately disposes of containers and chassis from its lease fleet.

• Equipment trading—the Company purchases containers from shipping line customers, and other sellers of containers, and resells these containers to container retailers and users of containers for storage or one-way shipment. Included in the equipment trading segment revenues are leasing revenues from equipment purchased for resale that is currently on lease until the containers are dropped off.

These operating segments were determined based on the chief operating decision maker's review and resource allocation of the products and service offered.

The following tables summarize segment information and the consolidated totals reported (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,

(1) Segment income before income taxes excludes unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments and debt termination expense. The Company recorded unrealized losses on derivative instruments of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and unrealized gains on derivative instruments of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. There was no debt termination expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

(2) Represents cash disbursements for purchases of leasing equipment and investments in finance leases as reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods indicated, but excludes cash flows associated with the purchase of equipment held for resale.

There are no intercompany revenues or expenses between segments. Certain administrative expenses have been allocated between segments based on an estimate of services provided to each segment. A portion of the Company's equipment purchased for resale was purchased through certain sale-leaseback transactions with its shipping line customers. Due to the expected longer-term nature of these transactions, these purchases are reflected as leasing equipment as opposed to equipment held for sale and the cash flows associated with these transactions are reflected as purchases of leasing equipment and proceeds from the sale of equipment in investing activities in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.

Geographic Segment Information

The Company generates the majority of its leasing revenues from international containers which are deployed by its customers in a wide variety of global trade routes. The majority of the Company's leasing related revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars.

The following table summarizes the geographic allocation of equipment leasing revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 based on the Company's customers' primary domicile (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Total	$	340,859	$	315,097

Since the majority of the Company's containers are used internationally, where no one container is domiciled in one particular place for a prolonged period of time, all of the Company's long-lived assets are considered to be international.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The interim consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 and the consolidated statements of operations, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of shareholders' equity, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. The financial data and the other financial information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements related to these periods are also unaudited. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 or for any other future annual or interim period.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on February 19, 2019. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain changes in presentation have been made to conform the prior period presentation to current period reporting.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the Company's estimates in connection with leasing equipment, including residual values and depreciable lives, values of assets held for sale and other long lived assets, provision for income tax, allowance for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company's equipment leases and trade receivables subject it to potential credit risk. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of each customer's financial condition and credit history. Evaluations of the financial condition and associated credit risk of customers are performed on an ongoing basis. The Company's two largest customers CMA CGM S.A. and Mediterranean Shipping Company S.A., accounted for 21% and 14%, respectively, of the Company's lease billings during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequently issued amendments that replaced existing lease accounting guidance. The accounting standard requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset on their balance sheets. The accounting that will be applied by lessors under ASC 842 is largely unchanged from previous GAAP. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, through a cumulative-effect adjustment. Additionally, the Company elected the “package of practical expedients,” which provides: (1) An entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) An entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) An entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. Furthermore, the Company elected the optional transition method and continued to apply the guidance in ASC 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative prior year periods.

At adoption, the Company recognized a lease liability of $10.5 million based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases and corresponding ROU asset of $8.9 million. The Company assessed the requirements from both a lessee and lessor perspective and concluded the adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.  As a result of this adoption, the Company reclassified $14.8 million of cash collections on finance lease receivables, net of income earned, from investing activities to operating activities on its consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.

In August 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). ASU 2017-12 changes the recognition and presentation requirements of hedge accounting, including: eliminating the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness; and presenting all items that affect earnings in the same income statement line item as the hedged item.

The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, and applied the modified retrospective approach. The Company has evaluated the impact of this ASU and concluded the adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates

Measurement of CreditLosses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326).The guidance affects trade receivables and net investments in leases and requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability.

The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Based on the composition of the Company's receivables, current market conditions and historical credit loss activity, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Unearned income(3)	(194,509		)	(203,955		)
Net investment in finance leases(4)	$	465,480		$	478,065

(1) At the inception of the lease, the Company records the total minimum lease payments net of executory costs, if any. The gross finance lease receivable is reduced as billed to the customer and reclassified to accounts receivable until paid. There were no executory costs included in gross finance lease receivables as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

(2) The Company's leases generally include a bargain purchase option and therefore, the Company has immaterial residual value risk for assets that are subject to direct finance leases.

(3) The difference between the gross finance lease receivable and the fair value of the equipment at the lease inception is recorded as unearned income. Unearned income together with initial direct costs, are amortized to income over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return. There were no unamortized initial direct costs as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

(4) As of March 31, 2019, three major customers represented 51%, 25% and 13% of the Company's finance lease portfolio. As of December 31, 2018, three major customers represented 50%, 24% and 13% of the Company's finance lease portfolio. No other customer represented more than 10% of the Company's finance lease portfolio in each of those years.
