Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements [Text Block]	Note 1—Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements A. Description of the Business Triton International Limited ("Triton" or the "Company"), through its subsidiaries, leases intermodal transportation equipment, primarily maritime containers, and provides maritime container management services through a worldwide network of service subsidiaries, third-party depots and other facilities. The majority of the Company's business is derived from leasing its containers to shipping line customers through a variety of long-term and short-term contractual lease arrangements. The Company also sells its own containers and containers purchased from third parties and operates and manages containers pursuant to agreements with third party container owners. These agreements govern the operations and management of the containers and allocation of the proceeds therefrom. The Company's registered office is located at 22 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM12, Bermuda. On July 12, 2016, Triton Container International Limited ("TCIL") and TAL International Group, Inc. ("TAL") combined in an all-stock merger (the "Merger"). Under the terms of the transaction agreement, TCIL and TAL combined under a newly formed company, Triton. Immediately following the completion of the Merger, former TCIL shareholders owned approximately 55% of the outstanding equity of the Company and former TAL stockholders owned approximately 45% of the outstanding equity of the Company. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The consideration for the transaction was paid in common shares of Triton with TAL stockholders receiving one common share of Triton in exchange for each share of the 33.4 million TAL common shares and TCIL’s shareholders received approximately 0.80 Triton common shares for each of TCIL's common shares. The fair value of the consideration, or the purchase price was $510.2 million . This amount was derived based on the fair value of the shares issued to former TAL stockholders on the closing date of July 12, 2016 when the closing stock price was $15.28 per share. B. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein reflect the consolidated results of operations of TIL and its subsidiaries, and include the results of operations of TAL after July 12, 2016, the date of the completion of the Merger. The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented for periods prior to the Merger represent the historical financial statements of TCIL, the accounting acquirer. Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying prior period financial statements and notes to conform to the current year's presentation. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, on March 17, 2017 , as amended, and our other reports filed with the SEC through the current date pursuant to the Exchange Act. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates include our estimates in connection with purchase accounting, residual value, depreciable lives, values of assets held for sale, and estimates related to the bankruptcy of a lessee (including amounts for recoveries under insurance policies as described below) among others. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Note 1—Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued) C. Lessee Bankruptcy in 2016 On August 31, 2016, Hanjin Shipping Co. ("Hanjin"), a lessee of the Company, filed for court protection and immediately began a liquidation process. At that time, we had approximately 87,000 container units on lease to Hanjin with a net book value of $243.3 million . The Company maintained credit insurance to cover the value of such containers that are unrecoverable, costs incurred to recover containers and a portion of lost lease revenue (limited up to six months or until a container is recovered, repaired, and available for re-lease) all subject to a deductible. In connection with the Hanjin bankruptcy, the Company recorded a charge of $29.7 million during the third quarter ended September 30, 2016 comprised of bad debt expense and a charge for costs not expected to be recovered due to deductible limits. The Company has recorded a receivable under its insurance policies of approximately $32.3 million . At the present time, the Company believes the anticipated losses as a result of Hanjin will be recoverable under the insurance policies, subject to the deductible limits. The Company estimates that a large portion of its equipment will ultimately be recovered, and this estimate has been considered into the estimated loss described above. D. Pro Forma Disclosure The following table provides the unaudited pro forma results of operations, which gives effect to the Merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2016. The pro forma results of operations reflects adjustments (i) to adjust amortization and depreciation expense resulting from the write-down of leasing equipment to fair value and the fair value of operating lease contracts over the current market rate as a result of purchase accounting and (ii) to eliminate non-recurring charges that were incurred in connection with the transactions including acquisition-related share-based compensation, transaction costs related to legal, accounting, and other advisory fees, and transaction costs related to retention and benefit costs. The unaudited pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies or other expected benefits of the Merger. The unaudited pro forma financial information presented below is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the Merger occurred as of January 1, 2016. Three months ended March 31, 2016 (in thousands) Total leasing revenues $ 281,626 Net income attributable to shareholders $ 7,448 Note 1—Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued) E. New Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 ("ASU No. 2016-02"), Leases (Topic 842) that replaces existing lease accounting guidance. Among other things, in the amendments in ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: • A lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and • A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The accounting that will be applied by lessors under ASC 842 is largely unchanged from previous GAAP. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The new lease guidance will become effective for the Company for periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements, but does not expect any material impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-08 ("ASU No. 2016-08"), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), amending previous updates regarding this topic. Leasing revenue recognition is specifically excluded from this ASU, and therefore, the new standard will only apply to Equipment Trading revenues and sales of leasing equipment. As the majority of our sales contracts are for containers and do not contain multiple elements we expect the impact to be minimal. The effective date is interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016-08. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. ASU No. 2016-09 ("ASU No. 2016-09") Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . The guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. Under ASU No. 2016-09, all excess tax benefits and deficiencies related to employee share-based compensation will be recognized within the provision for income taxes rather than additional paid-in capital under the prior guidance. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits as a reduction in our Net deferred tax liability account and an increase in accumulated earnings of $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. In addition, the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 had no impact on the financial statements with respect to forfeited awards as historically, the Company has not experienced any forfeitures and had not estimated a forfeitures rate. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. ASU 2016-13 ("ASU No. 2016-13") Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance affects trade receivables and net investments in leases. The guidance requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility. The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Different components of the guidance require modified retrospective and/or prospective adoption. We are currently assessing whether we will early adopt, and the impact on our financial statements is not currently estimable. Note 1—Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued) In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15 ("ASU No. 2016-15"), Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Receipts and Cash Payments . The updated amendment provides guidance as to where certain cash flow items are presented, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs and proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims. The update to the standard is effective for the Company for periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company believes the guidance will have a minimal effect on the presentation in the Consolidated Financial Statements. In October 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-16 (“ASU No. 2016-16”), Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740) : Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory . The ASU eliminates the deferral of the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers other than inventory. As a result, the tax expense from the intercompany sale of assets, other than inventory, and associated changes to deferred taxes will be recognized when the sale occurs even though the pre-tax effects of the transaction have not been recognized. The update to the standard is effective for the Company for periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The effect the guidance will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company will depend on the nature and amount of future transactions. In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18 ("ASU No. 2016-18"), Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash . The amendments in ASU 2016-18 require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The update to the standard is effective for the Company for periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company believes the guidance will have a minimal effect on the presentation on the presentation on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04 ("ASU No. 2017-04"), Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . The Board eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The FASB also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, the same impairment assessment applies to all reporting units. An entity is required to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The update to the standard is effective for the Company for periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Note 2—Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company believes that the carrying amounts of its cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, equipment purchases payable, and accounts payable approximated their fair values as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes the following fair value hierarchy when selecting inputs for its valuation techniques, with the highest priority given to Level 1: • Level 1—Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets (unadjusted). • Level 2—Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on observable inputs such as (i) quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or (iii) model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. • Level 3—Financial assets and liabilities whose values are derived from valuation techniques based on one or more significant unobservable inputs. The Company does not record debt at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets. The fair value, which was measured using Level 2 inputs, and the carrying value of the Company's debt is listed in the table below as of the dates indicated (in thousands): March 31, December 31, Liabilities Total debt(1) - carrying value $ 6,504,607 $ 6,373,448 Total debt(1) - estimated fair value $ 6,552,213 $ 6,316,229 ______________________________________________________________________________ (1) Excludes unamortized deferred financing costs of $26.0 million and $20.0 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. We determine fair value of Equipment held for sale, by reference to recent sales prices and other factors. Equipment held for sale is recorded at the lower of fair value or carrying value and an impairment charge is recorded when the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. The following table summarizes the portion of the Company’s Equipment held for sale measured at fair value as of the periods indicated below and the cumulative impairment charges recorded to net gain (loss) on sale of leasing equipment through the periods indicated below (in thousands): March 31, December 31, Assets Equipment held for sale - assets at fair value(1) $ 34,047 $ 41,067 Cumulative impairment charges $ (7,991 ) $ (12,063 ) ___________________________________________________________________________ (1) Represents the carrying value of containers included in Equipment held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets that have been impaired to write down the value of the containers to their estimated fair value less cost to sell. These fair value measurements use level 2 inputs on a non-recurring basis. For the fair value of derivatives, please refer to Note 6 - "Derivative Instruments".

Equity [Abstract]
Capital Stock and Stock Options	Note 3—Share Based Compensation and Other Equity Matters The Company accounts for compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions in accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation . The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award) on a straight-line basis. The Company recognized $1.1 million of compensation costs in administrative expenses under the Company's stock-based compensation plan for the three months ended March 31, 2017 . The Company recognized $1.4 million of compensation costs in administrative expenses related to options granted under an option plan for the three months ended March 31, 2016 established by TCIL prior to the Merger.

Net investment in finance lease receivables is generally charged off after an analysis is completed which indicates that collection of the full balance is remote. The Company maintains allowances, if necessary, for doubtful accounts and estimated losses resulting from the inability of its lessees to make required payments under direct financing. These allowances are based on, but not limited to, each lessee’s payment history, management’s current assessment of each lessee’s financial condition and the adequacy of the fair value of containers that collateralize the leases compared to the book value of the related net investment in direct finance leases. The Company has one customer classified as non-accrual which is fully reserved for and recognizes income on gross finance lease receivables as cash collections are received. The following table represents the activity of the Company's allowance on gross finance lease receivables for the periods presented (in thousands): Beginning Balance Additions/ (Reversals) Ending Balance Finance Lease— Allowance for doubtful accounts: For the three months ended March 31, 2017 $ 527 $ — $ 527

The Company economically hedges the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on a portion of its floating rate borrowings by entering into interest rate swap agreements that convert a portion of its floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis. As of March 31, 2017 , the Company had interest rate swaps in place with a notional amount of $1,980.3 million to fix the floating interest rates on a portion of its floating rate debt obligations. The Company is subject to certain financial covenants under its debt facilities, and as of March 31, 2017 , was in compliance with all such covenants. Asset Backed Warehouse Facility On March 10, 2017, the Company entered into a floating rate ABS warehouse facility with a borrowing capacity of $400 million . The first $200 million of this commitment has a two year revolving period followed by a three year term period. The second $200 million of this commitment has a one year revolving period followed by an eighteen month term period. Capital Lease Obligations During January 2017, the Company entered into two lease transactions with financial institutions to finance the purchase of new containers for approximately $35 million . The lease transactions are accounted for as capital leases over the term period of eight years and contain two early buyout options. Term Loan Facilities In February 2017, the Company secured financing on one of its owned properties for approximately $19 million at a floating rate for a period of three years. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company increased the commitment on certain of its existing term loan facilities by $125 million .

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	Note 6—Derivative Instruments Interest Rate Swaps The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate swap agreements are utilized by the Company to effectively modify the Company's exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of its floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. Such agreements involve the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the lives of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. The counterparties to the Company's interest rate swap agreements are highly rated financial institutions. In the unlikely event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company's exposure is limited to the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each monthly settlement period over the life of the agreements. The Company does not anticipate any non-performance by the counterparties. Substantially all of the assets of certain indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company have been pledged as collateral for the underlying indebtedness and the amounts payable under the interest rate swap agreements for each of these entities. In addition, certain assets of the Company's subsidiaries, are pledged as collateral for various credit facilities and the amounts payable under certain interest rate swap agreements. As of March 31, 2017 , the Company had interest rate swap and cap agreements in place to fix the floating interest rates on a portion of the borrowings under its debt facilities as summarized below: Derivatives Net Notional Amount Weighted Average Cap Rate Weighted Average Interest rate swaps $1,980.3 Million 1.64% —% 3.9 years Interest rate caps $76.8 Million —% 4.0% 0.7 years Interest Rate Swaps Activity On March 9, 2017, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements for a total of $400 million that involve the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments in order to fix the interest rate on a portion of the borrowings under its floating rate debt facilities. The agreements are non-amortizing over a one year term. The Company has designated these interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Fair Value of Derivative Instruments Under the criteria established by ASC 820, the Company has elected to use the income approach to value its interest rate swap agreements, using observable Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount (discounted) assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact. The Level 2 inputs for the interest rate swap and forward valuations are limited to quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR cash and swap rates, basis swap adjustments and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals).

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment and Geographic Information	Note 7—Segment and Geographic Information Industry Segment Information The Company conducts its business activities in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and has two reporting segments: • Equipment leasing—the Company owns, leases and ultimately disposes of containers and chassis from its lease fleet, as well as manages leasing activities for containers owned by third parties. • Equipment trading—the Company purchases containers from shipping line customers, and other sellers of containers, and resells these containers to container retailers and users of containers for storage or one-way shipment. Included in the Equipment trading segment revenues are leasing revenues from equipment purchased for resale that is currently on lease until the containers are dropped off. • These operating segments were determined based on the chief operating decision maker's review and resource allocation of the products and services offered. Triton acquired the Equipment Trading segment as part of the Merger on July 12, 2016. Prior to the Merger, the Company operated in only one segment - Equipment Leasing and therefore all income and assets were attributed to the Leasing segment for periods prior to the Merger. The following table show segment information for the periods indicated and the consolidated totals reported (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Equipment Equipment Totals Equipment Equipment Totals Total leasing revenues $ 264,859 $ 743 $ 265,602 $ 163,025 $ — $ 163,025 Trading margin — 392 392 — — — Net gain (loss) on sale of leasing equipment 5,161 — 5,161 (1,837 ) — (1,837 ) Depreciation and amortization expense 117,721 159 117,880 79,144 — 79,144 Interest and debt expense 63,128 376 63,504 33,698 — 33,698 Realized loss on derivative instruments, net 599 — 599 654 — 654 Income before income taxes(1) 41,632 315 41,947 15,653 — 15,653 Equipment held for sale at March 31 77,800 27,154 104,954 — — — Goodwill at March 31 220,864 15,801 236,665 — — — Total assets at March 31 8,899,311 60,748 8,960,059 4,576,761 — 4,576,761 Purchases of leasing equipment and investments in finance leases(2) 265,706 — 265,706 43,092 — 43,092 _______________________________________________________________________________ (1) Segment income before income taxes excludes unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps and the write-off of deferred financing costs. Unrealized gains on interest rate swaps were $1.5 million and unrealized losses on interest rate swaps $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. There were no write-offs of deferred financing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. (2) Represents cash disbursements for purchases of leasing equipment and investments in finance leases as reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods indicated, but excludes cash flows associated with the purchase of equipment held for resale. Note 7—Segment and Geographic Information (continued) There are no intercompany revenues or expenses between segments. Certain administrative expenses have been allocated between segments based on an estimate of services provided to each segment. A portion of the Company's equipment purchased for resale was purchased through certain sale-leaseback transactions with our shipping line customers. Due to the expected longer term nature of these transactions, these purchases are reflected as leasing equipment as opposed to equipment held for sale and the cash flows associated with these transactions are reflected as purchases of leasing equipment and proceeds from the sale of equipment in investing activities in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. Geographic Segment Information The Company earns most of its leasing revenues from international containers which are deployed by its customers in a wide variety of global trade routes. Substantially all of the Company's leasing related revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars. The following table represents the geographic allocation of equipment leasing revenues for the periods indicated based on customers' primary domicile (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Total leasing revenues: Asia $ 114,377 $ 86,554 Europe 119,369 54,580 North America / South America 21,889 13,197 Bermuda 116 102 Other International 9,851 8,592 Total $ 265,602 $ 163,025 As most of the Company's containers are used internationally, where no one container is domiciled in one particular place for a prolonged period of time, substantially all of the Company's long-lived assets are considered to be international.

Income Taxes	Note 9—Income Taxes The consolidated income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, was determined primarily based upon estimates of the Company's consolidated effective income tax rates for the quarter ending December 31, 2017 and 2016 . Our effective tax rate increased to 16.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from 9.0% in the same period in 2016 . The increase in the effective tax rate is mainly due to the inclusion of income tax expense from TAL, at a higher U.S. effective tax rate.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented herein reflect the consolidated results of operations of TIL and its subsidiaries, and include the results of operations of TAL after July 12, 2016, the date of the completion of the Merger. The consolidated financial statements of the Company presented for periods prior to the Merger represent the historical financial statements of TCIL, the accounting acquirer. Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying prior period financial statements and notes to conform to the current year's presentation. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, on March 17, 2017 , as amended, and our other reports filed with the SEC through the current date pursuant to the Exchange Act. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates include our estimates in connection with purchase accounting, residual value, depreciable lives, values of assets held for sale, and estimates related to the bankruptcy of a lessee (including amounts for recoveries under insurance policies as described below) among others. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 ("ASU No. 2016-02"), Leases (Topic 842) that replaces existing lease accounting guidance. Among other things, in the amendments in ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: • A lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and • A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The accounting that will be applied by lessors under ASC 842 is largely unchanged from previous GAAP. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The new lease guidance will become effective for the Company for periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements, but does not expect any material impact to its Consolidated Financial Statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-08 ("ASU No. 2016-08"), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), amending previous updates regarding this topic. Leasing revenue recognition is specifically excluded from this ASU, and therefore, the new standard will only apply to Equipment Trading revenues and sales of leasing equipment. As the majority of our sales contracts are for containers and do not contain multiple elements we expect the impact to be minimal. The effective date is interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016-08. In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. ASU No. 2016-09 ("ASU No. 2016-09") Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . The guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. Under ASU No. 2016-09, all excess tax benefits and deficiencies related to employee share-based compensation will be recognized within the provision for income taxes rather than additional paid-in capital under the prior guidance. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits as a reduction in our Net deferred tax liability account and an increase in accumulated earnings of $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. In addition, the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 had no impact on the financial statements with respect to forfeited awards as historically, the Company has not experienced any forfeitures and had not estimated a forfeitures rate. In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. ASU 2016-13 ("ASU No. 2016-13") Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance affects trade receivables and net investments in leases. The guidance requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility. The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Different components of the guidance require modified retrospective and/or prospective adoption. We are currently assessing whether we will early adopt, and the impact on our financial statements is not currently estimable. Note 1—Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued) In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15 ("ASU No. 2016-15"), Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Receipts and Cash Payments . The updated amendment provides guidance as to where certain cash flow items are presented, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs and proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims. The update to the standard is effective for the Company for periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company believes the guidance will have a minimal effect on the presentation in the Consolidated Financial Statements. In October 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-16 (“ASU No. 2016-16”), Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740) : Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory . The ASU eliminates the deferral of the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers other than inventory. As a result, the tax expense from the intercompany sale of assets, other than inventory, and associated changes to deferred taxes will be recognized when the sale occurs even though the pre-tax effects of the transaction have not been recognized. The update to the standard is effective for the Company for periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The effect the guidance will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company will depend on the nature and amount of future transactions. In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18 ("ASU No. 2016-18"), Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash . The amendments in ASU 2016-18 require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The amendments do not provide a definition of restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The update to the standard is effective for the Company for periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company believes the guidance will have a minimal effect on the presentation on the presentation on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04 ("ASU No. 2017-04"), Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . The Board eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, under the amendments in this update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The FASB also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, the same impairment assessment applies to all reporting units. An entity is required to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The update to the standard is effective for the Company for periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
