SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CAI International, Inc. (“CAI” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CAI), one of the world’s leading transportation finance and logistics companies, today reported results for the second quarter of 2020.
Summary
- Net loss attributable to CAI common stockholders for the second quarter of 2020 was $2.8 million, or $0.16 per fully diluted share, primarily due to intangible asset write-offs as a result of accounting for the logistics business as a discontinued operation.
- Net income from continuing operations attributable to CAI common stockholders for the second quarter of 2020 was $13.7 million, or $0.78 per fully diluted share.
- Container lease revenue for the second quarter of 2020 was $69.4 million, compared to $69.1 million in the first quarter of 2020.
- CAI’s Board of Directors declared the Company’s first quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share payable on September 25, 2020 to shareholders of record as of September 11, 2020.
- The Company is currently experiencing strong demand from a number of customers for new container leases. Container costs are stable and lease returns are attractive.
- Average utilization for CAI’s owned container fleet during the second quarter of 2020 was 98.0%, compared to 98.4% for the first quarter of 2020. Current utilization is 98.2%.
- In early July 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap fixing $500 million of its variable rate debt. Approximately 77% of the Company’s debt is now fixed rate.
- The Company has approximately $180 million of liquidity in the form of available cash on hand and ability to draw on its credit facilities without additional collateral being provided.
- As previously announced, on June 15, 2020, CAI terminated its formal strategic alternatives review process. The Company is committed to focusing solely on the container business and is actively pursuing its strategy to divest of non-core businesses.
- CAI’s Board of Directors has adopted formal stock ownership guidelines for its non-executive directors.
Additional information on CAI's results, as well as comments on market trends, is available in a presentation posted today on the "Investors" section of CAI's website, www.capps.com.
Timothy Page, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of CAI, commented, “We are very pleased with our results during the second quarter. Net income from continuing operations attributable to CAI common stockholders was $13.7 million, or $0.78 per fully diluted share. The quarter began with a great deal of uncertainty as we were in the depths of the COVID-19 global pandemic. As the quarter progressed, markets began to stabilize, liquidity returned and expectations for recovery improved. The global container shipping industry right sized fleets, rationalized pricing and moved to profitability. Consequently, the Company did not experience any meaningful payment delays or credit issues and we have been generating strong free cash flow. As we have entered the third quarter, utilization is increasing, and we are experiencing strong demand from our customers for both depot and new equipment.
“During the first half of 2020, we saw limited customer demand for leased containers. Consequently, the Company took delivery of only $41 million, or 30,000 TEU, of containers in the first two quarters of 2020. However, demand has been particularly strong since mid-June and we have commitments from customers to lease approximately 70,000 TEU of containers, all of which we expect to be picked up before the end of the third quarter. Additionally, we have lease commitments for approximately 50,000 TEU of containers for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2020. All of these transactions have attractive returns associated with them. As a result of this strong customer demand, we expect our core container business to generate increasing net income in the coming quarters.
“CAI’s operating performance during the quarter was supported by the strong 98.0% utilization of our owned container fleet. Utilization increased towards the end of June and currently stands at 98.2%. We expect a continuation in the trend of increasing utilization in the coming months as global demand increases. Our continuing strong performance in utilization reflects the long-term nature of our contracts, tight redelivery restrictions and ongoing fleet management, all of which underscore the long-term committed nature of our cash flow.
“Our average cash interest rate in the second quarter was 2.88%. In early July we completed an interest rate hedging transaction swapping one month LIBOR for a fixed rate of 0.29% on $500 million of our floating rate debt for a term of five years. Approximately 77% of the Company’s debt is now fixed rate. Going forward, we plan to maintain fixed rate debt between 75% and 85% of our total debt.
“During the second quarter, we terminated our previously announced strategic review process and made a decision to focus on our container business and divest our non-core businesses. We have accounted for the logistics business in the second quarter as a discontinued operation. Under accounting rules for discontinued operations, the logistics business reported a net loss for the quarter of $16.6 million, or $0.94 per fully diluted share, primarily due to the non-cash impairment of goodwill and intangible assets arising from the reclassification of logistics assets as assets held for sale. We are pleased to report that we are engaged in advanced discussions with a potential purchaser of our logistics business. We continue to explore disposing of our rail investments in the most beneficial manner for shareholders.
“We also are pleased to announce that we have initiated a program of returning capital to our shareholders through the payment of regular quarterly dividends, the first of which is a dividend of $0.25 per share payable on September 25, 2020 to common shareholders of record as of September 11, 2020.”
Mr. Page concluded, “We are focused on deploying our capital to increase shareholder value, whether that be through regular shareholder dividends, investing in containers during periods when returns are attractive, or share repurchases when container returns don’t meet our investment return thresholds. We believe the actions taken and the decisions we have made during the second quarter will provide the momentum to position CAI to achieve enhanced shareholder returns.”

| Utilization of containers is computed by dividing the total units on lease in CEUs (cost equivalent units), by the total units in our fleet in CEUs. |
| The total container fleet excludes new units not yet leased and off-hire units designated for sale. |
| Utilization of railcars is computed by dividing the total number of railcars on lease by the total number of railcars in our fleet. |
| The impact on utilization of including new units not yet leased in the total railcar fleet has been included in the table above. |
| CEU is a ratio used to convert the actual number of containers in our fleet to a figure based on the relative purchase prices of our |
| various equipment types to that of a standard 20 foot dry van container. For example, the CEU ratio for a standard 40 foot dry van |
| container is 1.6, and a 40 foot high cube container is 1.7. |
