PARK RIDGE, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 9, 2011--SeaCube Container Leasing Ltd (SeaCube) (NYSE: BOX), one of the world’s largest lessors of intermodal freight containers, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Adjusted net income(1) was $10.4 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2010, an increase of 30%. For the second quarter of 2011, adjusted net income per diluted common share was $0.51. The Company focuses on adjusted net income because it excludes the impact of non-cash interest expense and non-recurring items that are unrelated to the operating performance of the business.

Total revenue was $40.8 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $33.6 million for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of 21%. Utilization continues to be strong with average second quarter utilization of 98.6%. Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $60.8 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $53.0 million in the second quarter of 2010.

The Company reported net income of $9.4 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2010. Net income per diluted common share was $0.47 for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $0.45 for the second quarter of 2010.

Joseph Kwok, Chief Executive Officer of SeaCube, commented, “SeaCube generated strong revenue and earnings growth in the second quarter, as we continued to benefit from our investments in new containers. In 2011 year-to-date, we have ordered approximately $400 million of new equipment, surpassing the amount we invested in 2010 and our original plan for 2011. Consistent with our strategy of maintaining strong utilization, 90% of the new containers are already committed to long-term leases.”

Mr. Kwok continued, “As we progress through the second half of the year, SeaCube remains well positioned to continue to achieve strong year-over-year revenue and earnings growth. Our year-to-date investment of $400 million is expected to be completed by November, and we will continue to make investments that are in the best interests of our shareholders. Our primary focus will be on the refrigerated container market, enabling the Company to take advantage of favorable sector fundamentals and further solidify its position as the largest lessor of refrigerated containers.”


Mr. Kwok concluded, “Based on our strong results for the second quarter, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.24 per share, which is an increase of 9%. Since going public in November 2010, this is the second time SeaCube has raised its dividend and we have declared cumulative dividends of $0.88 per share.”

Adjusted net income(1) was $19.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, adjusted net income per diluted common share was $0.98.

Total revenue was $77.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $66.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $113.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $105.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The Company reported net income of $18.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Net income per diluted common share was $0.91 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $0.90 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The Company has presented adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) as a measure of operating results. We define adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expenses including loss on retirement of debt, depreciation and amortization, fair value adjustments on derivative instruments, loss on terminations and modification of derivative instruments, gain on sale of assets, and write-offs of goodwill plus principal collections on direct finance lease receivables. SeaCube has presented adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure as a means to evaluate performance of the Company’s business. SeaCube believes that, when viewed with GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, it provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business than the GAAP results alone. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, and, as such, a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income is provided below.

In addition, the Company has presented adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted common share and pro forma adjusted net income per diluted common share as a measure of financial and operating performance. We define adjusted net income (loss) as net income before non-cash interest expense related to terminations and modifications of derivative instruments, losses on retirement of debt, fair value adjustments on derivative instruments, loss on swap terminations, write-offs of goodwill and gain on the sale of assets. We use adjusted net income to assess our consolidated financial and operating performance, and we believe this non-GAAP measure is helpful to management and investors in identifying trends in our performance. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure, and, as such, a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income is provided below.
