Textainer Group Holdings (TGH) Tops Q2 EPS by 23c

Textainer Group Holdings (NYSE: TGH) reported Q2 EPS of $0.28, $0.23 better than the analyst estimate of $0.05. Revenue for the quarter came in at $144.77 million versus the consensus estimate of $143.3 million.

"We are pleased with our performance in the second quarter, which proved resilient in spite of the global economic downturn. For the quarter, we delivered stable lease rental income of $144.8 million and adjusted EBITDA of $110.0 million, while improving our adjusted net income to $14.8 million," stated Olivier Ghesquiere, President and Chief Executive Officer of Textainer Group Holdings Limited.

Ghesquiere continued, "Though the second quarter saw a worsening in global trade, our container fleet of mostly long-term leases continued to perform strongly, with only a slight decrease in utilization. We were very pleased with the general improvement in our cash collections and have experienced no notable credit issues. The elevated credit risk of our customers, which had been a point of attention due to the COVID crisis, has mostly subsided, driven by their better than expected financial performance, access to government support, and a significant decrease in fuel cost."

Ghesquiere added, "As we begin the third quarter, we have seen a significant uptake in demand for containers. This change in market dynamics is driven by the cyclical increase in trade over the summer season in North America and Europe and is compounded by the restocking of inventories following the easing of quarantine measures in most developed economies. COVID-related disruptions to supply-chains have also caused a dislocation of containers for shipping lines, which is currently favorable to container lessors. As we look ahead to our performance for the second half of the year, we are encouraged by this recent rebound in activity which should lead to an increase in our utilization rate and lease rental revenue. We also expect our customers to continue to improve their financial performance and strengthen their balance sheets driven by the increased trade activity and higher freight rates."

"The pandemic continues to create uncertainty and market challenges, but we remain cautiously optimistic with our outlook for the balance of the year. Textainer remains well-positioned to participate in the rebound in market activity with a strong balance sheet, healthy liquidity, an optimized capital structure, and demonstrated expense control and efficiency," concluded Ghesquiere.
