CAI International, Inc. Reports Results for the Third Quarter of 2013
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 29, 2013--CAI International, Inc. (CAI) (NYSE:CAP), one of the world’s leading lessors of intermodal freight containers, today reported results for the third quarter of 2013.
Highlights
- CAI reported rental revenue for the third quarter of 2013 of $50.7 million, an increase of 25% compared to the third quarter of 2012 and 5% compared to the second quarter of 2013, the 14th consecutive quarter of record rental revenue.
- CAI reported net income attributable to CAI common stockholders for the third quarter of 2013 of $15.3 million, compared to $16.5 million for the third quarter of 2012. CAI reported net income attributable to CAI common stockholders for the third quarter of 2013 of $0.68 per fully diluted share, compared to $0.84 for the third quarter of 2012. The average number of fully diluted shares in the quarter increased by 15% compared to the third quarter of 2012.
- During the quarter CAI entered into a sale and lease back transaction with a shipping customer for approximately 9,000 TEUs of containers. The company also acquired approximately 13,000 TEUs of new containers during the quarter.
Net income attributable to CAI common stockholders for the third quarter of 2013 was $15.3 million, compared to $16.5 million for the third quarter of 2012. Net income per fully diluted share attributable to CAI common stockholders for the third quarter of 2013 was $0.68, compared to $0.84 for the third quarter of 2012. Net income per share was impacted by a 15% increase in the number of fully diluted shares outstanding during the quarter, compared to the third quarter of 2012.
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was a record $53.9 million, compared to $44.9 million for the third quarter of 2012, an increase of 20%. Rental revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $50.7 million, compared to $40.5 million for the third quarter of 2012. The increase in rental revenue was primarily due to an increase in the average number of TEUs of owned containers on lease. Management fee revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $1.5 million, compared to $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2012, reflecting the reduction in the size of the managed fleet as CAI has acquired a number of its previously managed portfolios during the last twelve months. Finance lease income for the third quarter of 2013 was $1.7 million, compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2012, as a result of the reclassification of certain leases during the second quarter of 2013. Average fleet utilization was flat at 92.0% in the third quarter of 2013, compared to 92.1% in the second quarter.
Victor Garcia, Chief Executive Officer of CAI, commented, “We reported 25% rental revenue growth this past quarter as compared to the same period in 2012. We are pleased that we have continued to gain support from our customers by leasing more containers this quarter, however, we did not experience the peak season demand normally expected during the third quarter. Our overall utilization remained essentially flat with the prior quarter at 92%, reflecting the moderate demand for containers that we experienced during the third quarter, which historically has been when demand has been strongest. Per diem pricing throughout the industry has been aggressive during the quarter reflecting the more limited container demand this year and our belief that leasing companies have tried to reduce their available inventory. According to industry sources, inventory of new containers at the factories has decreased significantly during the third quarter, and we will be focusing on whether the lower inventory levels at the factories will result in a firming of per diem rates over the coming months.”
Mr. Garcia continued, “Our net income this quarter was negatively affected by higher storage costs and lower gains on sale of equipment. Higher storage costs reflect a 43% increase in the size of our owned fleet compared to the prior year, a lower overall fleet utilization compared to the same quarter last year and our purchase of some managed portfolios over the course of the past 12 months that had a lower utilization than our overall fleet. Gain on sale of equipment was also lower this quarter compared to the same period last year due to slightly lower sale prices in some regions, and a decrease in the average age of sold containers which led to an increase in the average book values of equipment sold. We are implementing several initiatives that are expected to increase our sales volume over the coming quarters which we expect will reduce our depot inventory in low demand areas and improve our overall utilization.”
Mr. Garcia concluded, “As I stated, demand for containers has been softer this past quarter than had been expected, which we believe reflects both the slow economic growth in the United States and Europe, as well as the recent moderation of growth in China. However, since the end of the quarter we have witnessed more requests for equipment, which we view as a positive development of improved container demand. We also remain optimistic about the demand for equipment in 2014 since many recent economic forecasts predict an improving outlook for most of the global economy. This improved outlook includes stabilizing and potentially improving economies in Europe, the U.S. economy showing signs of continued improvement and of particular importance to our business, an improved outlook for trade growth in China and the rest of Asia. With even modest growth in world trade, we would expect demand for containers to significantly improve from what we are seeing so far this year.”
