Operating Performance
"Triton continued to achieve outstanding financial performance in the third quarter of 2022," commented Brian M. Sondey, Chief Executive Officer of Triton. "Triton generated $2.88 of Adjusted net income per share, an increase of 18.5% from the third quarter of 2021 and just slightly below our record results from the second quarter of 2022. In addition, Triton achieved an annualized Adjusted return on equity of 27.5%."

"Triton's outstanding financial results reflect the durable enhancements we have made to our business. Container drop-off volumes increased in the third quarter, but our utilization remains exceptionally high and is well protected by our strong lease portfolio. Weighted by net book value, over 87% of our container fleet is covered by long-term and finance leases, and these leases have an average remaining duration of 76 months. In addition, used container sale prices remain high and we continue to generate sizable gains on disposals."

"The increase in container drop-offs in the third quarter reflects a muted summer peak season. Customers had expected trade growth would slow this year following exceptionally strong volumes in 2021, but we experienced fairly balanced activity in the first half of the year as customers continued to struggle with logistical disruptions and as they anticipated container needs for the traditional summer peak. However, normalizing consumer spending and macroeconomic challenges have impacted trade volumes, and many of our customers have shifted their focus to fleet efficiency and increased the pace of container off-hires. In addition, new container investment activity has slowed significantly across the market, and new container prices have decreased into the range of $2,200 for a 20’ dry container."

"Triton's new container investment has been limited this year following our record investment and growth in 2021. As of October 26, 2022, we have ordered $557 million of new containers for delivery in 2022. Triton has shifted its investment focus and strong cash flow to share repurchases, and we accelerated the pace of our repurchases in the third quarter. Year to date, Triton has repurchased 7.1 million shares, or 10.8% of our outstanding shares, while decreasing our leverage. Our Board of Directors increased our share repurchase authorization back to $200 million in October."

Outlook
Mr. Sondey continued, "We anticipate our Adjusted net income per share will decrease sequentially as our utilization and used container sale prices decrease from their recent extraordinarily high levels. However, we have made durable enhancements to our business, are very well protected by our lease portfolio and expect our utilization will remain high. We also expect our share repurchases will continue to be highly accretive. Overall, we expect our performance will remain very strong through the end of the year and into the longer term."

Common and Preferred Share Dividends
Triton’s Board of Directors has increased the quarterly cash dividend from $0.65 to $0.70 per common share, reflecting an approximate 8% increase. The dividend will be payable on December 22, 2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 8, 2022.

Mr. Sondey concluded, "The increase in Triton's quarterly dividend reflects Triton's strong balance sheet, outstanding financial performance and our confidence that Triton's profitability and cash flows will remain strong."

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 1.70, and a 40-foot high cube refrigerated container is 7.50. These factors may differ slightly from CEU ratios used by others in the industry.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Items

We use the terms "Adjusted net income" and "Adjusted return on equity" throughout this press release.

Adjusted net income and Adjusted return on equity are not items presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, amounts determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including net income.

Adjusted net income is adjusted for certain items management believes are not representative of our operating performance. Adjusted net income is defined as net income attributable to common shareholders excluding debt termination expenses net of tax, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments net of tax, and foreign and other income tax adjustments.

We believe that Adjusted net income is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because this item:

is widely used by securities analysts and investors to measure a company's operating performance;

helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing certain non-routine events which we do not expect to occur in the future; and

is used by our management for various purposes, including as measures of operating performance and liquidity, to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis, in presentations to our board of directors concerning our financial performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

We have provided a reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Adjusted net income in the table below for the three months ended September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

Additionally, the calculation for Adjusted return on equity is adjusted annualized earnings divided by average shareholders' equity. Management utilizes Adjusted return on equity in evaluating how much profit the Company generates on the shareholders' equity in the Company and believes it is useful for comparing the profitability of companies in the same industry.
