CAI International, Inc. Reports Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year of 2010.
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 1, 2011--CAI International, Inc. (CAI) (NYSE:CAP), one of the world’s leading lessors of intermodal freight containers, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2010.
Highlights for the fourth quarter and full year of 2010.
- CAI reported net income attributable to CAI common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2010 of $0.57 per fully diluted share, a 235% increase compared to $0.17 per fully diluted share during the fourth quarter of 2009 and a 46% increase as compared to $0.39 per fully diluted share in the third quarter of 2010 (excluding the $0.11 per share related to a one time tax benefit during the third quarter of 2010).
- For the full year, CAI reported $1.56 per fully diluted share, a 105% increase compared to the $0.76 per share reported in 2009.
- Average utilization for the fourth quarter of 2010 was 98.0%, compared to the 81.9% during the fourth quarter of 2009.
- During December 2010 CAI issued approximately 1.4 million of common shares totaling proceeds of $22.4 million, net of fees and expenses.
- During December 2010 CAI entered into a $300 million, delayed draw 6 year term loan facility with a syndicate of banks and funded $185 million on the closing date.
CAI today reported net income attributable to CAI common stockholders of $10.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 as compared to net income attributable to CAI common stockholders of $3.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2009. Fully diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2010 was $0.57, on 18.5 million average shares outstanding, as compared to fully diluted earnings per share of $0.17 on 18.0 million average shares outstanding during the fourth quarter of 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, CAI reported net income attributable to CAI common stockholders of $28.4 million, or $1.56 per fully diluted share, compared to $13.6 million, or $0.76 per fully diluted share, in 2009.
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $25.2 million as compared to $15.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. Container rental revenue was $21.4 million as compared to $12.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase in the container rental income was primarily due to a 63% increase in the average number of TEUs of owned containers on lease and a 13.5% increase in the average utilization of our owned fleet as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009. Management fee revenue was $3.4 million as compared to $2.1 million of management fee revenue reported in the fourth quarter of 2009. Finance lease income in the fourth quarter of 2010 was unchanged at $0.4 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, total revenue was $77.9 million, which was an increase of $12.6 million, or 19%, compared to the $65.3 million for the prior year.
During December, 2010 CAI announced that it entered into a definitive agreement for a $300 million, delayed draw 6 year term loan with a syndicate of banks. On the closing date $185 million was funded and the remaining facility commitment is available for 9 months after the closing date. During the month of December CAI also issued approximately 1.4 million of common shares at $17.50 per share, raising $22.4 million of equity proceeds, net of fees and expenses.
Masaaki (John) Nishibori, CEO of CAI, commented, “2010 was a tremendous year for our company. The container investments we made in the third and fourth quarters allowed us to report net income of $19.7 million during the second half of the year, which represents 69% of our net income for the full year. We are optimistic about the industry conditions going into 2011 and thus we decided during the fourth quarter to raise additional debt and equity in order to meet our customers expected container equipment needs. Our fleet in the fourth quarter was effectively fully utilized and utilization has held up during the first quarter.”
He continued, “During 2010, we significantly expanded our owned fleet by 48% and that fleet growth was deployed on long term leases that will contribute to revenue and net income in 2011 and beyond. Demand for containers is being driven primarily by increased trade activity around the globe. Clarkson Research, a shipping industry research firm, in February was forecasting world containerized trade growth of 9.7% in 2011.
We have expanded our fleet already this year and expect continued strong investment in containers during the remainder of 2011. The first quarter is typically the slowest quarter of the year. Although our utilization remains high, we expect the revenue impact of additional assets in our fleet to mostly occur beginning in the second quarter of 2011. The second quarter is when most shipping companies are reserving new equipment for leases. We expect utilization to remain strong through at least the third quarter of 2011 since demand historically is higher during the second and third quarters of the year.”
