Operating Performance

"Triton delivered solid results in the first quarter of 2023," commented Brian M. Sondey, Chief Executive Officer of Triton. "We generated $2.42 of Adjusted net income per share and an annualized return on equity of 22.5%. While market conditions remain slow, our revenues and profitability are well protected by our strong long-term lease portfolio. Our utilization averaged 97.6% during the first quarter and currently stands at 97.1%. We are excited about our recent agreement to be acquired by Brookfield Infrastructure. We believe the acquisition provides a compelling value for our shareholders, and expect Brookfield will be an ideal partner for Triton."

  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 1.70, 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.

The following table provides a summary of our equipment lease portfolio by lease type, based on CEU and net book value, as of March 31, 2023:

Important Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release may constitute "forward-looking statements." Actual results could differ materially from those projected or forecast in the forward-looking statements. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include the following: risks related to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing the proposed acquisition (including the failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals and failure to obtain the requisite vote by Triton's shareholders) in the anticipated timeframe or at all, including the possibility that the proposed acquisition does not close; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement for the proposed acquisition, including in circumstances requiring Triton to pay a termination fee; the possibility that competing offers may be made; risks related to the ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed acquisition, including the possibility that the expected benefits from the acquisition will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period; disruption from the transaction making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; continued availability of capital and financing and rating agency actions; disruptions in the financial markets; certain restrictions during the pendency of the transaction that may impact Triton's ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; risks related to diverting management's attention from Triton's ongoing business operation; negative effects of the acquisition announcement or the consummation of the proposed acquisition on the market price of Triton's common shares or the class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares (the "BIPC Shares") of Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation ("Brookfield Infrastructure") and/or operating results; significant transaction costs; unknown liabilities; the risk of litigation and/or regulatory actions related to the proposed acquisition, other business effects and uncertainties, including the effects of industry, market, business, economic, political or regulatory conditions; decreases in the demand for leased containers; decreases in market leasing rates for containers; difficulties in re-leasing containers after their initial fixed-term leases; customers' decisions to buy rather than lease containers; increases in the cost of repairing and storing Triton's off-hire containers; Triton's dependence on a limited number of customers and suppliers; customer defaults; decreases in the selling prices of used containers; the impact of COVID-19 or future global pandemics on Triton's business and financial results; risks resulting from the political and economic policies of the United States and other countries, particularly China, including but not limited to, the impact of trade wars, duties, tariffs or geo-political conflict; risks stemming from the international nature of Triton's business, including global and regional economic conditions, including inflation and attempts to control inflation, and geopolitical risks such as the ongoing war in Ukraine; extensive competition in the container leasing industry and developments thereto; decreases in demand for international trade; disruption to Triton's operations from failures of, or attacks on, Triton's information technology systems; disruption to Triton's operations as a result of natural disasters; compliance with laws and regulations related to economic and trade sanctions, security, anti-terrorism, environmental protection and anti-corruption; the availability and cost of capital; restrictions imposed by the terms of Triton's debt agreements; and changes in tax laws in Bermuda, the United States and other countries.
