Operating Performance
"Triton achieved another record quarter of financial performance in the fourth quarter of 2021, providing an outstanding finish to an extraordinary year," commented Brian M. Sondey, Chief Executive Officer of Triton. "Triton generated $2.67 of Adjusted net income per share in the fourth quarter, an increase of 9.9% from the third quarter of 2021, and we achieved an annualized Return on equity of 30.7%. For the full year of 2021, Triton generated $9.16 of Adjusted net income per share and achieved a 28.1% Return on equity."
"Triton's exceptional performance in 2021 was supported by very favorable market conditions. A strong increase in goods consumption, particularly in the United States, drove a high level of trade growth, while widespread logistical bottlenecks slowed container turn-times, leading to incremental demand for containers. Limited vessel capacity contributed to a dramatic increase in freight rates, and kept our customers highly focused on container availability. Container supply struggled to catch up to demand for most of the year despite a significant increase in new container production, leading to record prices for new containers and very high market leasing rates."
"Triton used these strong market conditions and its many leadership advantages to drive exceptional operating performance. Our container utilization averaged 99.4% in 2021, and currently stands at 99.6%. We achieved record selling prices for used containers, and generated sizable disposal and trading gains despite limited container availability and low disposal volumes. Triton invested heavily in our container fleet in 2021 to provide critical support to our customers at a time of severe supply chain disruption. Triton purchased $3.6 billion of containers that were delivered in 2021, leading to over 30% growth in our revenue earning assets. We estimate that Triton achieved roughly a 40% share of new leasing transactions in 2021, reflecting the importance customers place on our deep container supply capability and further securing our position as the "go-to" supplier in the container leasing industry."
"Triton reinforced its strong financial performance and leadership position with attractive financing activity. Over the past two years, Triton has raised and refinanced $10.3 billion of debt to support our aggressive container investments and prepay more expensive facilities. Triton's financing activity has been supported by the upgrade to Triton’s corporate rating to BBB- by S&P Global Ratings and Fitch, and Triton's transition of our capital structure toward unsecured investment grade debt. Triton's average effective interest rate has decreased 1.4% over the last two years, and we expect our shift to unsecured investment grade financing will provide access to deeper and more efficient sources of capital."
"The pace of our new container investment slowed in the latter part of 2021 as deliveries pushed past the summer peak season. Triton has shifted a portion of our strong cash flow to share repurchases, reflecting our nimble and disciplined approach to capital management. Triton repurchased 1.1 million common shares during the fourth quarter, and has repurchased an additional 0.7 million common shares through February 11, 2022. Triton has now purchased approximately 20% of our outstanding common shares since the program was initiated in the fall of 2018. In October, Triton also announced a 14% increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.65 per common share."
"We expect the benefits from our 2021 leasing and financing activity will be durable. The average lease duration for our large block of 2021 new containers is 13 years, and we secured long lease durations for used container pick-ups and lease extensions. The average lease duration for containers on long-term and finance leases has increased to over five years on a CEU basis and nearly seven years on a net book value basis. We have also locked in low financing costs, with 86.3% of our debt having fixed interest rates, and the weighted average life of our fixed rate debt and fixed rate swaps is currently five years."
Outlook
Mr. Sondey continued, "We expect to have another outstanding year in 2022. We are carrying a significant amount of operational and financial momentum, we have made durable enhancements to our business and our strong cash flow provides many levers to drive shareholder value."
"While the global economy remains subject to heightened uncertainty due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we expect overall container demand will remain strong through the year. Our customers are anticipating goods consumption and trade volumes will remain elevated, and they expect the operational challenges slowing container turn times will be difficult to resolve. We expect container supply will better keep pace with demand in 2022 due to increased new container production volumes, and new container prices have eased over 10% from their peak level to roughly $3,400 per 20' dry container. However, new container prices remain far above their historical range, and market leasing rates and used container sale prices also remain very high."
"While the first quarter of the year typically represents the slow season for dry containers and contains the fewest number of billable days, we expect our Adjusted net income per share in the first quarter of 2022 will be relatively in line with the fourth quarter of 2021 due to our operating momentum. Our financial trajectory after the first quarter will depend on how market conditions develop, but our strong lease portfolio and durable cash flows give us a high degree of confidence that our profitability and returns will remain at a very high level throughout 2022 and into the longer term."

In the equipment fleet tables above, we have included total fleet count information based on CEU. CEU is a ratio used to convert the actual number of containers in our fleet to a figure based on the relative purchase prices of our various equipment types to that of a 20-foot dry container. For example, the CEU ratio for a 40-foot high cube dry container is 1.70, and a 40-foot high cube refrigerated container is 7.50. These factors may differ slightly from CEU ratios used by others in the industry. |

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Items
We use the terms "Adjusted net income" and Return on equity throughout this press release.
Adjusted net income and Return on equity are not items presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, amounts determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, including net income.
Adjusted net income is adjusted for certain items management believes are not representative of our operating performance. Adjusted net income is defined as net income attributable to common shareholders excluding debt termination expenses net of tax, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments net of tax, and foreign and other income tax adjustments.
We believe that Adjusted net income is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because this item:
- is widely used by securities analysts and investors to measure a company's operating performance;
- helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure, our asset base and certain non-routine events which we do not expect to occur in the future; and
- is used by our management for various purposes, including as measures of operating performance and liquidity, to assist in comparing performance from period to period on a consistent basis, in presentations to our board of directors concerning our financial performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.
We have provided a reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Adjusted net income in the table below for the three months ended December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Additionally, the calculation for return on equity is adjusted annualized earnings divided by average shareholders' equity. Management utilizes return on equity in evaluating how much profit the Company generates on the shareholders' equity in the Company and believes it is useful for comparing the profitability of companies in the same industry.
