CAI International, Inc. Reports Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year of 2015
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 16, 2016--CAI International, Inc. (CAI) (NYSE:CAI), one of the world’s leading transportation finance and logistics companies, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2015.
Highlights
- CAI reported revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 of $65.7 million, an increase of $6.9 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. Lease-related revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $59.7 million, an increase of $0.9 million, or 1%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. Lease-related revenue for the full year increased 5% to $238.2 million.
- Net loss attributable to CAI common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $12.6 million, or $0.62 per fully diluted share. Included in the fourth quarter results is a $24.5 million non-cash impairment charge related to off-lease container inventory. Excluding this non-cash charge, adjusted net income attributable to CAI common stockholders was $10.5 million, or $0.52 per fully diluted share, a decrease of $5.4 million, or 34%, compared to the fourth quarter of 20141.
- Net income attributable to CAI common stockholders for the year ended 2015 was $26.8 million, or $1.28 per fully diluted share. Excluding the $24.5 million non-cash impairment charge referred to above, adjusted net income attributable to CAI common stockholders for 2015 was $50.5 million, or $2.40 per fully diluted share, a decrease of $8.6 million, or 15%, compared to 20141.
- Average utilization during the fourth quarter of 2015 was 91.1% (on a CEU basis) compared to 93.8% for the fourth quarter of 2014, and 92.0% for the third quarter of 2015.
- During the fourth quarter of 2015, the company increased the number of railcars in its fleet by 29% with the purchase of 1,168 railcars for $53.8 million, all of which are on-lease, including 951 to a Class 1 railroad. The company has also ordered 300 additional railcars for delivery during the second and third quarters of 2016 at a cost of approximately $25 million.
- Rental revenue from CAI’s railcar assets was $5.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2015, an increase of 109% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, and 11% compared to the third quarter of 2015.
- On February 12, 2016 CAI entered into an agreement to acquire Challenger Overseas, LLC (“Challenger”), a New Jersey based Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) for approximately $11 million, a portion of which is based on the future performance of Challenger.
- CAI’s Board of Directors has approved a one million share increase in the previously approved share repurchase program bringing the total authorized for repurchase to two million shares, 300,000 of which have been repurchased to date at an average price of $8.87.
Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $65.7 million, compared to $58.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of 12%. Revenue from CAI’s railcar assets increased over the same period by $3.0 million to $5.7 million as a result of growth in the railcar fleet, whereas revenue from the container leasing business decreased by $1.1 million to $53.2 million, reflecting a reduction in utilization and lease rates over the period. Management fee revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $0.8 million, a decrease of $1.0 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, due primarily to the decrease in size of the managed fleet. Logistics revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily arising from our acquisition of ClearPointt Logistics LLC in July 2015, was $6.0 million.
During the fourth quarter of 2015 CAI impaired its rental equipment by $24.5 million. As a result, CAI incurred a net loss attributable to CAI common stockholders for the quarter of $12.6 million, or $0.62 per fully diluted share. This compares to net income attributable to CAI common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2014 of $16.2 million, or $0.76 per fully diluted share.
Net income attributable to CAI common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $26.8 million, or $1.28 per fully diluted share, compared to $60.3 million, or $2.85 per fully diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2014.
CAI’s Board of Directors has approved a one million share increase in the previously approved share repurchase program (the “Program”) bringing the total authorized for repurchase to two million shares, 300,000 of which have already been repurchased. Under the Program, CAI is authorized to repurchase up to 1.7 million additional shares of its outstanding common stock from time to time and at prices considered appropriate by the company depending upon share price and prevailing economic and market conditions. The stock repurchases may be made in the open market, block trades or privately negotiated transactions. The primary purpose of the Program is to allow CAI the flexibility to repurchase its common stock to return value to stockholders. The number of shares of common stock actually acquired, if any, by CAI will depend on subsequent developments, corporate needs and market conditions. The Program as expanded is currently effective, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Victor Garcia, Chief Executive Officer of CAI commented, “During the fourth quarter we operated under difficult market conditions. Overall demand for containers was weak and we did not experience the traditional peak season between August and October. Demand was limited throughout the quarter, particularly around Asia and there has not been the increase in demand leading into the Lunar New Year holiday period that we have seen in the past few years. Most of the equipment that was redelivered was older equipment or equipment that we purchased from shipping lines on a sale lease back basis which we targeted to be sold. Despite the weak demand, we believe the level of turn-ins we experienced was consistent with a typical seasonally weak fourth quarter.
“During the fourth quarter there was a continued decline in steel prices, which resulted in not only decreases in new container costs, but also had an impact on the disposition price of containers, particularly in Asia. In addition, the strong dollar has reduced the dollar proceeds we receive when we sell containers in many markets outside of the U.S. As a result, we have impaired the carrying value of our off-lease container inventory by $24.5 million to reflect the price we believe we can achieve for those containers in the current sale market. We believe that the equipment most impacted by the current weak sales market remains our older units that we intend to sell rather than continue leasing. We believe that the current market conditions are not reflective of the expected long term realization on the sale of equipment. As such, we do not believe that a change in the residual value estimates of our container equipment is currently warranted. Since the beginning of the year there has been a slight increase in steel prices, which, if maintained, would provide support for the cost of new and used containers. Our focus is to position equipment into locations where we can either dispose of it at a higher price or position it for lease.
“As previously mentioned, economic activity in 2015 was weaker than expected, particularly in China. However, as we look to 2016 we are encouraged by the limited ordering of equipment, the recent stability of steel prices and the ongoing disposition activity being conducted by shipping lines and container lessors. As a result, demand and supply of containers remains in relative balance and an anticipated improvement in demand should result in improving utilization as we approach the traditionally normal seasonal upturn during the latter half of the second quarter of 2016."
Mr. Garcia, continued, “Per diem rates remained very competitive during the fourth quarter. Given the limited amount of new container production over the past 6 months and the recent consolidation amongst container leasing companies, we expect per diem levels and returns on new investment to improve over time. We expect CAI to benefit from the announced consolidation activity as pricing levels improve and customers look to diversify the high concentrations of business they are doing with our competitors.
“During the quarter, we continued our focus on the expansion of our rail business. During the fourth quarter, we purchased 1,168 railcars, 951 of which are on lease to a U.S. class one railroad that will contribute to earnings in 2016 and beyond. During the quarter we also committed to the purchase of 300 new dry freight railcars to be delivered during the second and third quarters of 2016. Our rail business contributed nearly 10% of revenue during the fourth quarter of 2015 and with further investment in equipment we expect it to contribute a greater share of overall results in 2016.
“We have also announced the acquisition of Challenger Overseas, LLC, a New Jersey based Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) for $10.8 million, a portion of which is based on the future performance of Challenger. We are excited about this acquisition because Challenger complements our logistics strategy by bringing together an existing customer base that is shipping product internationally, has over 20 years of commercial relationships with the major shipping lines and a world-wide agency network. We will look to utilize Challenger’s capabilities to expand the international logistics services we offer to our customers.
“We believe that the repurchase of our shares at current prices benefits our long term stockholders, and as such, our Board of Directors has approved increasing the share repurchase program by one million shares to an aggregate of two million shares. To date we have completed the repurchase of 300,000 shares at an average price of $8.87. We will continue to look for opportunities to build long term stockholder value that strengthens our overall business.”
Mr. Garcia concluded, “Although we are working our way through the effects of a cyclically weak demand period in our container business, we are steadily making progress on creating a growing logistics franchise and an overall diversified business. We believe that the consolidation activity and high market share that has resulted from the announced mergers of container lessors will greatly benefit CAI in the future, and that our company will emerge from the current market in a stronger position. We believe container demand will improve over time and that the efforts we are making in our rail and logistics businesses will continue to expand the overall intrinsic value of our company. We are excited about the direction of our efforts and are focused on achieving our strategic business plan.”

Utilization is computed by dividing total units on lease, in CEUs (cost equivalent units) or TEUs (twenty foot equivalent units), by the total units in our fleet, in CEUs or TEUs, excluding new units not yet leased and off-hire units designated for sale. 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 standard 20 foot dry van container. For example, the CEU ratio for a standard 40 foot dry van container is 1.6, and a 40 foot high cube container is 1.7. |

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, and includes net income and earnings per share adjusted to reflect the impact of the impairment of rental equipment and related tax effects, a non-recurring net settlement received from a customer and related tax effects, a non-recurring container management charge and related tax effects, the write-off of deferred financing costs and related tax effects, and a non-recurring tax charge. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding various financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations, and that when GAAP financial measures are viewed in conjunction with non-GAAP financial measures, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. To the extent this release contains historical non-GAAP financial measures, we have also provided a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measures for comparative purposes.
