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 and Significant Accounting Policies 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 containers from its equipment leasing fleet as well as containers specifically acquired for resale from third parties. The Company's registered office is located in Bermuda. Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 , the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 , included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the periods presented. The financial data and the other financial information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements related to these periods are also unaudited. The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 or for any other future annual or interim period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2018 . The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain changes in presentation have been made to conform the prior period presentation to current period reporting. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 in the financial statements. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the Company's estimates in connection with leasing equipment, residual values, depreciable lives, values of assets held for sale and other long lived assets, provision for income tax, allowance for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company's equipment leases and trade receivables subject it to potential credit risk. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of each customer's financial condition and credit history. Evaluations of the financial condition and associated credit risk of customers are performed on an ongoing basis. The Company's two largest customers CMA CGM S.A. and MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company S.A., accounted for 20% and 14% , respectively, of the Company's lease billings during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations , amending previous updates regarding this topic. Leasing revenue recognition is specifically excluded from this ASU, and therefore, the new standard only applied to equipment trading revenues and sales of leasing equipment. The adoption of this ASU had minimal impact on the Company since the majority of its sales contracts are for containers and do not contain multiple elements. The standard allows for either “full retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of Topic 606 did not impact its leasing revenue recognition model because, as noted above, leasing revenue recognition, including ancillary fees, is specifically excluded from this ASU. The Company has assessed the requirements of the new revenue standard with respect to its equipment trading revenue and sales of leasing equipment and has concluded that the timing and amount of recognition was not materially affected based on the fact that there generally are no long-term contracts, multiple element arrangements, or significant customer acquisition costs related to these revenue streams. The Company also considered the requirement to present disaggregated revenue for its equipment trading revenue and sales of leasing equipment upon the adoption of Topic 606. The Company currently presents these revenue items separately in its statements of operations. As a result, the Company concluded that the adoption of Topic 606 did not have a significant impact on either the timing of its revenue recognition or manner of presentation. In August 2016, the FASB issued 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 Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements since none of the cash flow items specified in the guidance changed our current presentation in the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740) : Intra-Entity 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 Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash . The amendments in this ASU 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 Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 using the retrospective approach. As a result, the Company recorded an increase of $33.9 million in net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to presentation changes of its restricted cash balance from financing activities to the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance within the consolidated statements of cash flows. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. ASU 2017-09 provides clarification on when modification accounting should be used for changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This ASU does not change the accounting for modifications but clarifies that modification accounting guidance should only be applied if there is a change to the value, vesting conditions, or award classification and would not be required if the changes are considered non-substantive. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements since the Company did not modify its share-based payment awards since adoption of the standard. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . This ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to accumulated earnings for tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) and requires certain new disclosures. ASU 2018-02 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Act is recognized. The Company elected to adopt this ASU in the first quarter of 2018 by making a one-time reclassification in the period of change of stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to accumulated earnings related to the change in tax rates resulting from the Act. The reclassified amount of $3.0 million represents the difference between the amount initially recorded directly to accumulated other comprehensive income at the previously enacted US federal corporate income tax rate as of December 31, 2017 and the amount that would have been recorded directly to accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2017 by using the newly enacted US federal corporate income tax rate. In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 . The amendments in this ASU add various Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC) paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SEC Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”). The SEC issued SAB 118 to address concerns about reporting entities’ ability to timely comply with the accounting requirements to recognize all of the effects of the Act in the period of enactment. SAB 118 allows disclosure that timely determination of some or all of the income tax effects from the Act are incomplete by the due date of the financial statements and if possible to provide a reasonable estimate. The Company recorded the effects of the change in the tax law pursuant to SAB 118 as of December 31, 2017. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018. There were no updates to the amounts recorded as of December 31, 2017 during the first nine months of 2018. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequently issued amendments thereto, that replaced existing lease accounting guidance. The accounting standard will require lessees to recognize a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on their balance sheets. 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 . We currently plan to adopt the standard on its effective date of January 1, 2019. We are currently quantifying the expected recognition on our balance sheet for a right to use asset and a lease liability as required by the standard. We do not expect the adoption of the standard to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 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 and 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 collectability. 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. Based on the composition of the Company's receivables, current market conditions and historical credit loss activity, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. ASU 2017-12 changes the recognition and presentation requirements of hedge accounting, including: eliminating the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness; and presenting all items that affect earnings in the same income statement line item as the hedged item. The ASU also provides new alternatives for: applying hedge accounting to additional hedging strategies; measuring the hedged item in fair value hedges of interest rate risk; reducing the cost and complexity of applying hedge accounting by easing the requirements for effectiveness testing, hedge documentation and application of the critical terms match method; and reducing the risk of material error correction if a company applies the shortcut method inappropriately. This ASU is effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting that expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for certain exemptions specified in the amendment. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements. The amendments in this ASU represent changes to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The transition and effective date guidance are based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon issuance. However, many of the amendments in this ASU do have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company uses the following fair value hierarchy when selecting inputs for its valuation techniques, with the highest priority given to Level 1: • Level 1—quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and • Level 3—unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing. Fair Value of Debt The Company does not measure debt, net of unamortized debt costs, at fair value in its consolidated balance sheets. The fair value was measured using Level 2 inputs and the carrying value and fair value are summarized in the following table (in thousands): September 30, December 31, Liabilities Total debt - carrying value (1) $ 7,535,612 $ 6,979,877 Total debt - fair value $ 7,475,226 $ 6,991,537 (1) Excludes unamortized debt costs of $43.3 million and $40.6 million and purchase price debt adjustments of $19.5 million and $27.5 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. Fair Value of Equipment Held for Sale The Company’s equipment held for sale fair value is measured using Level 2 inputs and is based on 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 and the cumulative impairment charges recorded to net gain on sale of leasing equipment through the periods summarized below (in thousands): September 30, December 31, Assets Equipment held for sale - assets at fair value (1) $ 4,095 $ 6,104 Cumulative impairment charges (2) $ (1,599 ) $ (2,242 ) (1) Represents the fair value of containers included in equipment held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets that have been impaired to write down the carrying value of the containers to their estimated fair value less costs to sell. (2) Represents the cumulative impairment charges recognized on equipment held for sale from the date of designated held for sale status to the indicated period end date. The Company recognized net impairment charges of $1.3 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively. The Company recognized net impairment charges of $0.3 million and net impairment reversals of $ 0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , respectively. Fair Value of Derivative Instruments The Company has elected to use the income approach to value its interest rate swap and cap agreements, using 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 cap valuations are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR and swap rates, basis swap adjustments and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals). The fair value of derivative instruments on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was as follows (in thousands): Asset Derivatives Liability Derivatives Derivative Instrument September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Interest rate swap contracts, designated $ 30,480 $ 3,554 $ 820 $ 2,503 Interest rate swap contracts, not designated 4,798 3,822 — — Total derivatives $ 35,278 $ 7,376 $ 820 $ 2,503 Fair Value of Other Assets and Liabilities Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, equipment purchases payable and accounts payable carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s other financial and non-financial assets, which include leasing equipment, net investment in finance leases, intangible assets and goodwill, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required, and the Company determines that these other financial and non-financial assets are impaired after completing an evaluation, these assets would be written down to their fair value.

These institutional notes had a contractual weighted average interest rate of 4.70% as of September 30, 2018 and are scheduled to mature between 2020 and 2029 . Asset-Backed Securitization Term Notes Under the Company’s Asset-Backed Securitization (“ABS”) facilities, indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company issue asset-backed notes. The issuance of asset-backed notes is the primary business objective of those subsidiaries. The ABS facilities are intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings. The Company’s borrowings under the ABS facilities amortize in monthly installments, typically in level payments over five or more years. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment generally in the range from 77% to 87% . The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment is determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per U.S. GAAP.

The outstanding term loan balance of $52.5 million was repaid using proceeds drawn from the revolving credit facility. Asset-Backed Warehouse Facility Under the Company’s asset-backed warehouse facility, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issues asset-backed notes. The issuance of asset-backed notes is the primary business objective of that subsidiary. The asset-backed warehouse facility is intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings. The Company's asset-backed warehouse facility has a maximum borrowing capacity of $400.0 million which is available on a revolving basis until September 28, 2020, after which any borrowings would convert to term notes with a maturity date of September 20, 2024 . This facility has a contractual interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.85% margin until the conversion date when it would have a contractual interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 2.85% . As of September 30, 2018 , the asset-backed warehouse facility had a contractual interest rate of 4.02% .

On May 8, 2018, the Company increased its credit limit on one of its revolving credit facilities from $1,025.0 million to $1,125.0 million . This revolving credit facility’s contractual weighted average interest rate remained at one-month LIBOR plus 2.00% . On September 28, 2018, concurrent with the extinguishment of a term loan, the Company entered into a new $110.0 million revolving credit facility. This facility has an interest rate of one -month LIBOR plus 1.85% and a scheduled maturity date of September 28, 2023 . Capital Lease Obligations The Company has entered into a series of direct finance lease transactions with various financial institutions to finance chassis and containers. Each lease is accounted for as a capital lease, with interest expense recognized on a level yield basis over the period preceding early purchase options, if any, which is generally three to ten years from the transaction date. These agreements have fixed interest rates ranging from 3.26% to 4.93% , and mature between 2018 and 2024 .

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	Note 5—Derivative Instruments Interest Rate Hedging The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate swap agreements are utilized to limit 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. These 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. The Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement during the first quarter of 2018 for a total notional amount of $400.0 million . The agreement is amortizing over a one year term. The Company has designated this interest rate cap agreement as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. The Company entered into three interest rate swaps during the third quarter of 2018 for a total notional amount of $557.6 million . The first agreement has a notional amount of $257.6 million amortizing over a five year term and is indexed to the three-month LIBOR. The second and third agreements have notional amounts of $100.0 million and $200.0 million , respectively, amortizing over seven year terms and are indexed to one-month LIBOR. The Company has designated these interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. As of September 30, 2018 , 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 $ 1,715.0 Million 2.22% n/a 4.4 years Interest rate cap $ 386.7 Million n/a 2.9% 0.3 years The following table summarizes the impact of derivative instruments on the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income on a pretax basis (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Derivative instrument Financial statement caption 2018 2017 2018 2017 Non-designated interest rate swaps Realized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net $ (608 ) $ 20 $ (1,348 ) $ 902 Non-designated interest rate swaps Unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net $ 322 $ 629 $ (975 ) $ (80 ) Designated interest rate swaps Other comprehensive (income) loss $ (5,246 ) $ 1,553 $ (27,414 ) $ 7,579 Designated interest rate swaps Interest and debt (income) expense $ (2,161 ) $ (160 ) $ (5,839 ) $ 1,301 Amortization of interest rate cap Interest and debt (income) expense $ 4 $ — $ 4 $ —

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment and Geographic Information	Note 6—Segment and Geographic Information Segment Information The Company operates its business in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and has two operating segments which also represent its reporting segments: • Equipment leasing—the Company owns, leases and ultimately disposes of containers and chassis from its lease fleet. • 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 service offered. The following tables summarize segment information and the consolidated totals reported (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 2017 Equipment Equipment Totals Equipment Equipment Totals Total leasing revenues $ 349,022 $ 1,056 $ 350,078 $ 301,282 $ 838 $ 302,120 Trading margin — 5,810 5,810 — 1,369 1,369 Net gain on sale of leasing equipment 7,055 — 7,055 10,263 — 10,263 Depreciation and amortization expense 141,263 74 141,337 128,428 153 128,581 Interest and debt expense 82,116 386 82,502 73,466 329 73,795 Realized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net (606 ) (2 ) (608 ) 20 — 20 Income before income taxes (1) $ 104,226 $ 2,862 $ 107,088 $ 73,232 $ 2,079 $ 75,311 (1) Segment income before income taxes excludes unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments and the write-off of debt costs. Unrealized losses on derivative instruments of $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively.

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 its 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 generates the majority of its leasing revenues from international containers which are deployed by its customers in a wide variety of global trade routes.

Income Taxes	Note 8—Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rates were 9.3% and 15.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , and 11.3% and 17.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The Company has computed the provision for income taxes based on the estimated annual effective tax rate and the application of discrete items, if any, in the applicable period. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a decrease in the U.S. federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% resulting from passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 , the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 , included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the periods presented. The financial data and the other financial information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements related to these periods are also unaudited. The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 or for any other future annual or interim period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2018 . The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain changes in presentation have been made to conform the prior period presentation to current period reporting. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 in the financial statements. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the Company's estimates in connection with leasing equipment, residual values, depreciable lives, values of assets held for sale and other long lived assets, provision for income tax, allowance for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations , amending previous updates regarding this topic. Leasing revenue recognition is specifically excluded from this ASU, and therefore, the new standard only applied to equipment trading revenues and sales of leasing equipment. The adoption of this ASU had minimal impact on the Company since the majority of its sales contracts are for containers and do not contain multiple elements. The standard allows for either “full retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of Topic 606 did not impact its leasing revenue recognition model because, as noted above, leasing revenue recognition, including ancillary fees, is specifically excluded from this ASU. The Company has assessed the requirements of the new revenue standard with respect to its equipment trading revenue and sales of leasing equipment and has concluded that the timing and amount of recognition was not materially affected based on the fact that there generally are no long-term contracts, multiple element arrangements, or significant customer acquisition costs related to these revenue streams. The Company also considered the requirement to present disaggregated revenue for its equipment trading revenue and sales of leasing equipment upon the adoption of Topic 606. The Company currently presents these revenue items separately in its statements of operations. As a result, the Company concluded that the adoption of Topic 606 did not have a significant impact on either the timing of its revenue recognition or manner of presentation. In August 2016, the FASB issued 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 Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements since none of the cash flow items specified in the guidance changed our current presentation in the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740) : Intra-Entity 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 Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash . The amendments in this ASU 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 Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 using the retrospective approach. As a result, the Company recorded an increase of $33.9 million in net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 related to presentation changes of its restricted cash balance from financing activities to the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balance within the consolidated statements of cash flows. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. ASU 2017-09 provides clarification on when modification accounting should be used for changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This ASU does not change the accounting for modifications but clarifies that modification accounting guidance should only be applied if there is a change to the value, vesting conditions, or award classification and would not be required if the changes are considered non-substantive. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements since the Company did not modify its share-based payment awards since adoption of the standard. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . This ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to accumulated earnings for tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) and requires certain new disclosures. ASU 2018-02 will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Act is recognized. The Company elected to adopt this ASU in the first quarter of 2018 by making a one-time reclassification in the period of change of stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to accumulated earnings related to the change in tax rates resulting from the Act. The reclassified amount of $3.0 million represents the difference between the amount initially recorded directly to accumulated other comprehensive income at the previously enacted US federal corporate income tax rate as of December 31, 2017 and the amount that would have been recorded directly to accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2017 by using the newly enacted US federal corporate income tax rate. In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 . The amendments in this ASU add various Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC) paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SEC Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”). The SEC issued SAB 118 to address concerns about reporting entities’ ability to timely comply with the accounting requirements to recognize all of the effects of the Act in the period of enactment. SAB 118 allows disclosure that timely determination of some or all of the income tax effects from the Act are incomplete by the due date of the financial statements and if possible to provide a reasonable estimate. The Company recorded the effects of the change in the tax law pursuant to SAB 118 as of December 31, 2017. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2018. There were no updates to the amounts recorded as of December 31, 2017 during the first nine months of 2018. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequently issued amendments thereto, that replaced existing lease accounting guidance. The accounting standard will require lessees to recognize a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability on their balance sheets. 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 . We currently plan to adopt the standard on its effective date of January 1, 2019. We are currently quantifying the expected recognition on our balance sheet for a right to use asset and a lease liability as required by the standard. We do not expect the adoption of the standard to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 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 and 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 collectability. 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. Based on the composition of the Company's receivables, current market conditions and historical credit loss activity, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. ASU 2017-12 changes the recognition and presentation requirements of hedge accounting, including: eliminating the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness; and presenting all items that affect earnings in the same income statement line item as the hedged item. The ASU also provides new alternatives for: applying hedge accounting to additional hedging strategies; measuring the hedged item in fair value hedges of interest rate risk; reducing the cost and complexity of applying hedge accounting by easing the requirements for effectiveness testing, hedge documentation and application of the critical terms match method; and reducing the risk of material error correction if a company applies the shortcut method inappropriately. This ASU is effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting that expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. An entity should apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for certain exemptions specified in the amendment. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements. The amendments in this ASU represent changes to clarify, correct errors in, or make minor improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The transition and effective date guidance are based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments do not require transition guidance and will be effective upon issuance. However, many of the amendments in this ASU do have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
