CAI International, Inc. Reports Results for the First Quarter of 2011

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 2011--CAI International, Inc. (CAI) (NYSE:CAP), one of the world’s leading lessors of intermodal freight containers, today reported results for the first quarter of 2011.

Highlights for the First Quarter of 2011.

  • CAI reported net income attributable to CAI common stockholders for the first quarter of 2011 of $0.65 per fully diluted share, a 282% increase compared to $0.17 per fully diluted share during the first quarter of 2010 and a 14% increase as compared to $0.57 per fully diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2010.
  • An increase in residual value estimates used in CAI’s calculations of depreciation reduced depreciation expense $0.7 million for the first quarter 2011 and contributed $0.03 to net income attributable to CAI common stockholders.
  • During the quarter CAI sold approximately 3,400 TEUs to an Asian investor group and entered into a long term management agreement which resulted in a $1.4 million gain on sale of container portfolios.
  • Average utilization for the first quarter of 2011 and the fourth quarter of 2010 was 98.0%.
  • During the quarter CAI reduced by $0.9 million the bad debt provision related to one customer.

CAI today reported net income attributable to CAI common stockholders of $12.8 million in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to net income attributable to CAI common stockholders of $3.0 million during the first quarter of 2010. Fully diluted earnings per share in the first quarter of 2011 was $0.65, on 19.8 million average shares outstanding, as compared to fully diluted earnings per share of $0.17 on 18.0 million average shares outstanding during the first quarter of 2010.

Total revenue for the first quarter of 2011 was $27.7 million as compared to $15.2 million for the first quarter of 2010. Container rental revenue was $22.4 million as compared to $12.3 million in the first quarter of 2010. The increase in the container rental income was primarily due to a 58% increase in the average number of TEUs of owned containers on lease and an 8.3% increase in the average utilization of our owned fleet as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. Management fee revenue was $3.5 million as compared to $2.2 million of management fee revenue reported in the first quarter of 2010. Finance lease income in the first quarter of 2011 remained unchanged at $0.4 million as compared to the first quarter of 2010.


CAI has conducted a review of historical disposal experience and has decided to increase the estimated residual values used in its equipment depreciation calculations beginning January 1, 2011 (see the residual value table for the primary assets in CAI’s fleet after the consolidated financial statements herein). For the fleet owned at the beginning of the year, the increase in estimated residual values will result in a reduction of depreciation expense of approximately $2.8 million in 2011 (approximately $0.12 of earnings per share on an annual basis). For the first quarter of 2011 the change in residual value estimates reduced depreciation by approximately $0.7 million. CAI does not expect that the change in residual estimates will have a material effect on the reported gain on disposition of equipment over the next several years since the equipment estimated to be sold during the coming years have already been substantially depreciated.

Masaaki (John) Nishibori, CEO of CAI, commented, “We are very pleased with the earnings growth for our company this quarter. During the first quarter we exhibited good sequential earnings growth, just as we did in the fourth quarter of 2010. We remain optimistic about overall container demand in 2011 and expect equipment on lease to increase during the second quarter. Most of our customers have asked for equipment to be leased during the second quarter and as expected the first quarter equipment on lease were relatively modest. CAI’s overall utilization during the quarter was supported by customers deciding to hold on to existing equipment on lease for use later in 2011, rather than purchasing newer, more expensive equipment from the factories.

He continued, “During the quarter, we accepted into our owned fleet 55,000 TEUs of equipment, the majority of which is already targeted for leases with our customers. We expect to continue investing over the coming months as demand for containers has traditionally increased during the second and third quarters. Demand for containers is being driven primarily by increased trade activity around the globe. Clarkson Research, a shipping industry research firm, in April was forecasting world containerized trade growth of 9.7% in 2011.”
