PARK RIDGE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 9, 2011--SeaCube Container Leasing Ltd. (SeaCube) (NYSE: BOX), one of the world’s largest lessors of intermodal freight containers, today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.
Adjusted net income(1) was $9.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, and $8.6 million for the third quarter of 2010. For the fourth quarter of 2010, adjusted net income per diluted common share was $0.50. Pro forma adjusted net income per diluted common share(1) would have been $0.47, if the number of weighted-average shares were increased to reflect the issuance of the shares from our IPO for the entire period. The Company focuses on adjusted net income because it excludes the impact of non-cash interest expense and non-recurring items that are unrelated to the operating performance of the business.
Total revenue was $35.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $33.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, and $34.5 million for the third quarter of 2010. Utilization continues to be strong with average fourth quarter utilization of 98.1%(2). Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $53.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $46.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, and $53.2 million for the third quarter of 2010.
The Company reported net income of $10.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2010, versus net loss of $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and net income of $4.8 million for the third quarter of 2010. Net income per diluted common share was $0.55 for the fourth quarter of 2010, versus net loss per diluted common share of $0.04 in the fourth quarter of 2009, and net income per diluted common share of $0.29 for the third quarter of 2010.
Joseph Kwok, Chief Executive Officer of SeaCube, commented, "2010 was a momentous and important year for SeaCube. We completed our IPO, posted strong financial and operating results, significantly increased our fleet of containers and positioned the Company for further fleet and earnings growth. We invested $230.3 million in new equipment in 2010, which we expect to positively impact our results in 2011.”
Mr. Kwok continued, “The demand for leased containers continues to be strong and we expect 2011 to be another year of robust growth for SeaCube. Building on our success in 2010, we will use our strong balance sheet to continue to make new container investments in 2011. We have ordered more than $207.9 million of new containers. Consistent with our focus on maintaining strong utilization, 86% of these new containers have already been committed to long term leases. Our investments in 2010 and 2011 will allow us to continue to grow our earnings and strengthen the Company’s competitive position in the industry.”
Mr. Kwok concluded, “As a result of our strong financial performance, stable and consistent cash flows, as well as a favorable industry outlook, SeaCube’s Board of Directors has declared a dividend of $0.22 a share, which is an increase of 10%. It is our objective to continue to grow our earnings and dividends, while maintaining our ability to capitalize on compelling growth opportunities.”
Adjusted net income(1) was $34.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2010, adjusted net income per diluted common share was $2.05. Pro forma adjusted net income per diluted common share(1) would have been $1.75, if the number of weighted-average shares were increased to reflect the issuance of the shares from our IPO for the entire period.
Total revenue was $137.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $141.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $211.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $206.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The Company reported net income of $29.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 versus net loss of $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Net income per diluted common share was $1.75 for the year ended December 31, 2010 versus net loss per diluted common share of $0.94 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The Company has presented adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) as a measure of operating results. We define adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expenses including loss on retirement of debt, depreciation and amortization, fair value adjustments on derivative instruments, loss on terminations and modification of derivative instruments, gain on sale of assets, and write-offs of goodwill plus principal collections on direct finance lease receivables. SeaCube has presented adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure as a means to evaluate performance of the Company’s business. SeaCube believes that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, it provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business than the GAAP results alone. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, and, as such, a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income is provided below.

In addition, the Company has presented adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted common share and pro forma adjusted net income per diluted common share as a measure of financial and operating performance. We define adjusted net income (loss) as net income before non-cash interest expense related to terminations and modifications of derivative instruments, losses on retirement of debt, fair value adjustments on derivative instruments, loss on swap terminations, write-offs of goodwill and gain on the sale of assets. We use adjusted net income to assess our consolidated financial and operating performance, and we believe this non-GAAP measure is helpful to management and investors in identifying trends in our performance. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure, and, as such, a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income is provided below.
