CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. In addition, we, or our executive officers on our behalf, may from time to time make forward-looking statements in reports and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, or in connection with oral statements made to the press, potential investors or others. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, future costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. The words "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "predict," "believe," "think," "plan," "will," "should," "intend," "seek," "potential" and similar expressions and variations are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

Forward-looking statements in this report are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: decreases in the demand for leased containers; decreases in market leasing rates for containers; difficulties in re-leasing containers after their initial fixed-term leases; the magnitude and duration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business, global trade and supply chains; customers' decisions to buy rather than lease containers; dependence on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of our revenues; customer defaults; decreases in the selling prices of used containers; extensive competition in the container leasing industry; difficulties stemming from the international nature of Triton's businesses; decreases in demand for international trade; disruption to Triton's operations resulting from political and economic policies of the United States and other countries, particularly China, including but not limited to, the impact of trade wars and tariffs; disruption to Triton's operations from failure of, or attacks on, Triton's information technology systems; disruption to Triton's operations as a result of natural disasters; compliance with laws and regulations related to economic and trade sanctions, security, anti-terrorism, environmental protection and corruption; ability to obtain sufficient capital to support growth; restrictions imposed by the terms of Triton's debt agreements; the phase-out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), or the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate, which may adversely affect interest rates; changes in the tax laws in Bermuda, the United States and other countries; and the other risks and uncertainties described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2020 (the "Form 10-K"), in this Report on Form 10-Q and in any other Form 10-Q filed or to be filed by us, as well as in the other documents we file with the SEC from time to time, and such risks and uncertainties are specifically incorporated herein by reference.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. Except as required under the federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the SEC, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information. We caution you not to unduly rely on the forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented in this report.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Description of the Business, Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policy Updates

Description of the Business

Triton International Limited ("Triton" or the "Company"), through its subsidiaries, leases intermodal transportation equipment, primarily maritime containers, and provides maritime container management services through a worldwide network of service subsidiaries, third-party depots and other facilities. The majority of the Company's business is derived from leasing its containers to shipping line customers through a variety of long-term and short-term contractual lease arrangements. The Company also sells containers from its equipment leasing fleet as well as containers specifically acquired for resale from third parties. The Company's registered office is located in Bermuda.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The interim consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020; the consolidated statements of operations, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and the consolidated statements of shareholders' equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, included herein, was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the Company's annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. The financial data and the other financial information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements related to these periods are also unaudited. The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 or for any other future annual or interim period.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on February 14, 2020. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain changes in presentation have been made to conform the prior period presentation to current period reporting.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the Company's estimates in connection with leasing equipment, including residual values and depreciable lives, values of assets held for sale and other long lived assets, provision for income tax, allowance for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company's equipment leases and trade receivables subject it to potential credit risk. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of each customer's financial condition and credit history. Evaluations of the financial condition and associated credit risk of customers are performed on an ongoing basis. The Company's two largest customers, CMA CGM S.A. and Mediterranean Shipping Company S.A., accounted for 21% and 15%, respectively, of the Company's lease billings during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Fair Value Measurements

For information on the fair value of equipment held for sale, debt, and the fair value of derivative instruments, please refer to Note 2 - "Equipment Held for Sale", Note 7 - "Debt" and Note 8 - "Derivative Instruments", respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) and subsequently issued amendments. The guidance affects the Company's net investment in finance leases and accounts receivable for sales of equipment. The standard requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability.

The Company adopted the standard and its related amendments as of January 1, 2020. The Company has evaluated the impact of this ASU and concluded that the adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The guidance provides optional practical expedients for applying U.S. GAAP to hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform. The guidance is applicable to the Company's debt agreements, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR.

The Company adopted the standard and certain of its related amendments as of March 12, 2020. By adopting this standard, it will help ease the burden that the Company may face due to the transition away from certain reference rates, specifically LIBOR, which is the predominant reference rate in many of the Company’s debt agreements and hedging relationships. The practical expedients applicable to the Company are as follows: (1) contract modifications due to reference rate reform can be treated as continuations of the existing contract and potential changes to interest rate risk can be disregarded when asserting the probability of the forecasted hedged transactions; (2) hedge accounting can continue to be used for hedging relationships where critical terms change due to reference rate reform; and (3) effectiveness assessments can be performed in ways that disregard certain mismatches due to reference rate reform. The Company concluded that the adoption of this standard will not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Policy Update

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts-Net investment in finance leases and accounts receivable for sales of equipment

Upon adoption of Topic 326, the Company measures expected credit loss on net investment in finance leases and accounts receivable for sales of equipment by evaluating the overall credit quality of its customers. Expected credit losses for these financial assets are estimated using historical experience which includes economic cycles, customer payment history, management's assessment of the customer's financial condition, and consideration of current conditions and reasonable forecasts.

Note 4—Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for share-based payment transactions based on the grant date fair value. The expense is recognized over the employee's requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the equity award. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense in administrative expenses of $2.1 million and $7.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $1.8 million and $7.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Share-based compensation expense includes charges for performance-based shares that are deemed probable to vest.

As of September 30, 2020, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted shares was approximately $9.8 million, which is expected to be recognized on a monthly basis through 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 185,820 restricted shares, and canceled 53,609 vested shares to settle payroll taxes on behalf of employees. Additional shares may be accrued and issued based upon the

Note 5—Other Equity Matters

Share Repurchase Program

On April 21, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors increased the share repurchase authorization to $200.0 million. Purchases under the repurchase program may be made in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, and may include transactions pursuant to a repurchase plan administered in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Purchases may be made from time to time at the Company's discretion and the timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined based on share price, market conditions, legal requirements, and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common shares, and the Company may suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company repurchased a total of 3,773,252 common shares at an average price per-share of $28.39 for a total of $107.2 million. As of September 30, 2020, $153.2 million remains available under the common share repurchase program. 

Preferred Shares

The following table summarizes the Company's preferred share issuances (the "Series"):

(1)     Represents number of shares authorized, issued, and outstanding.

In January 2020, the Company completed a public offering of the Series D shares and received $145.3 million in aggregate net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts of $4.7 million. The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including the purchase of containers, the repurchase of outstanding common shares, the payment of dividends, and the repayment or repurchase of outstanding indebtedness.

Each Series of preferred shares may be redeemed at the Company's option, at any time after approximately five years from original issuance, in whole or in part at a redemption price, which is equal to the issue price, of $25.00 per share plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared. The Company may also redeem each Series of preferred shares prior to the lapse of the five year period upon the occurrence of certain events as described in each agreement, such as transactions that either transfer ownership of substantially all assets to a single entity or establish a majority voting interest by a single entity, and cause a downgrade or withdrawal of rating by the rating agency within 60 days of the event. If the Company does not elect to redeem each Series, holders of preferred shares may have the right to convert their preferred shares into common shares.

Holders of preferred shares generally have no voting rights. If the Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive), holders will be entitled to elect two additional directors to the Board of Directors and the size of the Board of Directors will be increased to accommodate such election. Such right to elect two directors will continue until such time as there are no accumulated and unpaid dividends in arrears.

The Company considers an account past due when a payment has not been received in accordance with the terms of the related lease agreement and maintains allowances, if necessary, for doubtful accounts. These allowances are based on, but not limited to, historical experience which includes stronger and weaker economic cycles, each lessee's payment history, management's current assessment of each lessee's financial condition, consideration of current conditions and reasonable forecasts. As of September 30, 2020, the Company does not have an allowance on its gross finance lease receivables and does not have any past due balances.

Concurrently with the issuance of the notes described above, the Company used most of the proceeds from these issuances to call three existing ABS notes that had an outstanding principal amount of $1,783.1 million. As a result of this prepayment, the Company paid a prepayment penalty of $1.8 million and wrote off $22.3 million of debt related costs.

Institutional Notes

In accordance with the institutional note agreements, interest payments on the Company's institutional notes are due semi-annually. Institutional note maturities typically range from 7 - 12 years, with level principal payments due annually following an interest-only period. The Company's institutional notes are pre-payable (in whole or in part) at the Company's option at any time, subject to certain provisions in the note agreements, including the payment of a make-whole premium in respect to such prepayment. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment.

Asset-Backed Securitization Term Notes

Under the Company's ABS facilities, indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company issue ABS notes. These subsidiaries are intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings.

The Company’s borrowings under the ABS facilities amortize in monthly installments, typically in level payments over five or more years. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment is determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per U.S. GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three to nine months of interest expense depending on the terms of each facility.

Term Loan Facility

The term loan facility amortizes in quarterly installments. This facility provides for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment.

Asset-Backed Securitization Warehouse

Under the Company’s asset-backed warehouse facility, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issues ABS notes. This subsidiary is intended to be bankruptcy remote so that such assets are not available to creditors of the Company or its affiliates until and unless the related secured borrowings have been fully discharged. These transactions do not meet accounting requirements for sales treatment and are recorded as secured borrowings.

The Company's asset-backed warehouse facility has a borrowing capacity of $800.0 million that is available on a revolving basis until December 13, 2021, paying interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%, after which any borrowings will convert to term notes with a maturity date of December 15, 2025, paying interest at LIBOR plus 2.85%.

During the revolving period, the borrowing capacity under this facility is determined by applying an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment. The net book values for purposes of calculating eligible equipment are determined according to the related debt agreement and may be different than those calculated per U.S. GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three months of interest expense.

Revolving Credit Facilities

The revolving credit facilities have a maximum borrowing capacity of $1,560.0 million. These facilities provide for an advance rate against the net book values of designated eligible equipment.

Finance Lease Obligations

Certain containers are financed with a financial institution under a finance lease. The lease is accounted for as a finance lease, with interest expense recognized on a level yield basis over the period preceding early purchase options, which is five to seven years from the transaction date.

Note 8—Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Swaps / Caps

The Company enters into derivative agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate swap agreements are utilized to limit the Company's exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of floating-rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the lives of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. The Company also utilizes interest rate cap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate cap agreements place a ceiling on the Company's exposure to rising interest rates.

The counterparties to these agreements are highly rated financial institutions. In the unlikely event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of these agreements, the Company's exposure is limited to the interest rate differential on the notional amount at each monthly settlement period over the life of the agreements. The Company does not anticipate any non-performance by the counterparties. Substantially all of the assets of certain indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company have been pledged as collateral for the underlying indebtedness and the amounts payable under the agreements for each of these entities. In addition, certain assets of the Company's subsidiaries are pledged as collateral for various credit facilities and the amounts payable under certain agreements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract with an effective date of April 20, 2020 and a scheduled maturity date of April 20, 2024. This contract is indexed to 1 month LIBOR, has a fixed leg interest rate of 0.35%, and has a notional amount of $125.0 million.

Designated derivative instruments			Comprehensive (income) loss						$	(852)					$	22,930					$	146,386					$	74,727

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The Company has elected to use the income approach to value its interest rate swap and cap agreements, using Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future values to a single discounted present value. The Level 2 inputs for the interest rate swap and cap valuations are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (specifically LIBOR and swap rates and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals). In response to the expected phase out of LIBOR, the Company continues to work with its counterparties to identify an alternative reference rate. Substantially all of the Company's debt agreements already include transition language, and the Company also adopted various practical expedients which will facilitate the transition.

The Company presents the fair value of derivative financial instruments on a gross basis on the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2019, the Company had $0.3 million of interest rate contracts under derivative assets, which were not designated as hedging instruments. The Company has no non-designated hedging instruments as of September 30, 2020. Any amounts of cash collateral received or posted related to derivative instruments are included in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheet and are presented in operating activities of the consolidated statements of cash flows. As of September 30, 2020, there was cash collateral of $38.9 million related to interest rate swap contracts.

Segment Information

The Company operates its business in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and has two operating segments which also represent its reporting segments:

•Equipment leasing - the Company owns, leases and ultimately disposes of containers and chassis from its lease fleet.

•Equipment trading - the Company purchases containers from shipping line customers, and other sellers of containers, and resells these containers to container retailers and users of containers for storage or one-way shipment. Included in the equipment trading segment revenues are leasing revenues from equipment purchased for resale that is currently on lease until the containers are dropped off.

There are no intercompany revenues or expenses between segments. Certain administrative expenses have been allocated between segments based on an estimate of services provided to each segment. A portion of the Company's equipment purchased for resale may be leased for a period of time and is reflected as leasing equipment as opposed to equipment held for sale and the cash flows associated with these transactions are reflected as purchases of leasing equipment and proceeds from the sale of equipment in investing activities in the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.

Geographic Segment Information

The Company generates the majority of its leasing revenues from international containers which are deployed by its customers in a wide variety of global trade routes. The majority of the Company's leasing related revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars.

The following table summarizes the geographic allocation of equipment leasing revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 based on customers' primary domicile (in thousands):

			Three Months Ended September 30,																		Nine Months Ended September 30,

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The statements in this discussion regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described under "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 with the SEC on February 14, 2020 (the "Form 10-K"), in this Report on Form 10-Q and in any other Form 10-Q filed or to be filed by us, and in other documents we file with the SEC from time to time. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.

Our Company

Triton International Limited ("Triton", "we", "our" or the "Company") is the world's largest lessor of intermodal containers. Intermodal containers are large, standardized steel boxes used to transport freight by ship, rail or truck. Because of the handling efficiencies they provide, intermodal containers are the primary means by which many goods and materials are shipped internationally. We also lease chassis, which are used for the transportation of containers.

We operate our business in one industry, intermodal transportation equipment, and have two business segments, which also represent our reporting segments:

•Equipment leasing - we own, lease and ultimately dispose of containers and chassis from our lease fleet.

•Equipment trading - we purchase containers from shipping line customers, and other sellers of containers, and resell these containers to container retailers and users of containers for storage or one-way shipment.

Operations

Our consolidated operations include the acquisition, leasing, re-leasing and subsequent sale of multiple types of intermodal containers and chassis. As of September 30, 2020, our total fleet consisted of 3.6 million containers and chassis, representing 6.1 million twenty-foot equivalent units ("TEU") or 6.9 million cost equivalent units ("CEU"). We have an extensive global presence, offering leasing services through 19 offices and 3 independent agencies located in 16 countries and 428 third-party owned and operated depot facilities in 46 countries as of September 30, 2020. Our primary customers include the world's largest container shipping lines. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our twenty largest customers accounted for 85% of our lease billings, our five largest customers accounted for 58% of our lease billings, and our two largest customers, CMA CGM S.A. and Mediterranean Shipping Company S.A., accounted for 21% and 15% of our lease billings, respectively.

The most important driver of profitability in our business is the extent to which leasing revenues, which are driven by our owned equipment fleet size, utilization and average lease rates, exceed our ownership and operating costs. Our profitability is also driven by the gains or losses we realize on the sale of used containers in the ordinary course of our business.

We lease five types of equipment: (1) dry containers, which are used for general cargo such as manufactured component parts, consumer staples, electronics and apparel, (2) refrigerated containers, which are used for perishable items such as fresh and frozen foods, (3) special containers, which are used for heavy and over-sized cargo such as marble slabs, building products and machinery, (4) tank containers, which are used to transport bulk liquid products such as chemicals, and (5) chassis, which are used for the transportation of containers on land. Our in-house equipment sales group manages the sale process for our used containers and chassis from our equipment leasing fleet and buys and sells used and new containers and chassis acquired from third parties.

(1)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.

The following table summarizes the percentage of our equipment fleet in terms of units and CEU as of September 30, 2020:

Equipment Type			Percentage of total fleet in units						Percentage of total fleet in CEU
Dry			88.2		%				67.4		%
Refrigerated			6.2						24.3
Special			2.6						3.5
Tank			0.3						1.3
Chassis			0.7						1.9
Equipment leasing fleet			98.0						98.4
Equipment trading fleet			2.0						1.6
Total			100.0		%				100.0		%

We generally lease our equipment on a per diem basis to our customers under three types of leases:

•Long-term leases typically have initial contractual terms ranging from three to eight or more years and provide us with stable cash flow and low transaction costs by requiring customers to maintain specific units on-hire for the duration of the lease term.

•Finance leases are typically structured as full payout leases and provide for a predictable recurring revenue stream with the lowest cost to the customer as customers are generally required to retain the equipment for the duration of its useful life.

•Service leases command a premium per diem rate in exchange for providing customers with greater operational flexibility by allowing non-scheduled pick-up and drop-off of units during the lease term.

We also have expired long-term leases whose fixed terms have ended but for which the related units remain on-hire and for which we continue to receive rental payments pursuant to the terms of the initial contract. Some leases have contractual terms that have features reflective of both long-term and service leases and we classify such leases as either long-term or service leases, depending upon which features we believe are predominant.

The following table summarizes our lease portfolio by lease type, based on CEU on-hire as of September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019:

Lease Portfolio			September 30, 2020						December 31, 2019						September 30, 2019
Long-term leases			73.6		%				69.5		%				69.1		%
Finance leases			4.8						6.8						6.8
Service leases			7.2						7.8						8.4
Expired long-term leases (units on-hire)			14.4						15.9						15.7
Total			100.0		%				100.0		%				100.0		%

As of September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, our long-term and finance leases combined had an average remaining contractual term of approximately 48 months assuming no leases are renewed.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has meaningfully impacted global trade and our business in 2020. The pandemic and related economic shutdowns resulted in a significant decrease in trade volumes in the first half of the year, and we faced weak container demand and decreasing utilization and profitability in the first two quarters of 2020. However, with the easing of COVID-19 related restrictions in the United States and Europe, global containerized trade has rebounded significantly in the third quarter and container export volumes from China now exceed pre-pandemic levels. This rebound has resulted in strong container demand and an increase in our utilization and profitability. While our shipping line customers generally expect trade volumes to remain solid through the end of the year, many countries are seeing a resurgence in COVID-19 cases and a number are re-instituting restrictions on social and business activity. Overall, there continues to be a high degree of uncertainty in the outlook for global trade and container demand.

Operating Performance

Triton's operating and financial performance inflected upward during the third quarter of 2020 as a result of increased trade volumes and strong lease demand.

Fleet size. As of September 30, 2020, our revenue earning assets had a net book value of $8.7 billion, a decrease of 3.6% from September 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to limited procurement of new containers in 2019 and the first half of 2020. During this period, global trade volumes and container demand were negatively impacted by the trade dispute between the United States and China and disruptions related to the global outbreak of COVID-19.

Trade volumes rebounded sharply during the third quarter of 2020 and we experienced a surge of lease activity. While we accelerated container purchases during the third quarter, our ability to purchase large numbers of containers for quick delivery has been constrained by tight container manufacturing capacity. We have purchased approximately $800 million of new and sale-leaseback containers for delivery in 2020 and approximately $350 million for delivery in the first few months of 2021.

Utilization. Our ending utilization increased 2.6% during the third quarter to reach 97.4% as of September 30, 2020, reflecting a surge in leasing demand as global containerized trade volumes rebounded sharply. Average utilization was 96.1% during the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 1.1% from the second quarter of 2020 and a decrease of 0.6% from the third quarter of 2019. Our utilization decreased throughout 2019 and the first half of 2020 reflecting weak leasing demand due to the trade dispute between the United States and China and disruptions related to the global outbreak of COVID-19. As of October 16, 2020, our utilization was 97.6%.

The following table summarizes the equipment fleet utilization for the periods indicated below:

			Quarter Ended
			September 30, 2020						June 30, 2020						March 31, 2020						December 31, 2019						September 30, 2019
Average Utilization(1)			96.1		%				95.0		%				95.4		%				95.8		%				96.7		%
Ending Utilization(1)			97.4		%				94.8		%				95.3		%				95.4		%				96.4		%

(1)Utilization is computed by dividing our total units on lease (in CEU) by the total units in our fleet (in CEU) excluding new units not yet leased and off-hire units designated for sale.

Average lease rates. Average lease rates for our dry container product line decreased by 3.3% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 and 0.4% from the second quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of several large lease extensions completed during 2019 and the first half of 2020 at rates below our portfolio average, as well as by the pick-up of a large number of containers in the third quarter of 2020 on lifecycle leases, which often have lower rates due to the long expected on-hire time. Market lease rates for new dry containers are currently above the average dry container lease rates in our portfolio due to an increase in container prices and strong leasing demand. As of October 16, 2020, container factories are quoting roughly $2,500 for 20' dry containers.

Average lease rates for our refrigerated container product line decreased by 4.2% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019. The cost of refrigerated containers has trended down over the last few years, which has led to lower market lease rates. In addition, we have been experiencing larger differences in lease rates for older refrigerated containers compared to rates on new equipment, and we expect our average lease rates for refrigerated containers will continue to gradually trend down. The average lease rates for special containers remained flat in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019.

Equipment disposals. Disposal volumes of our used dry containers increased by 38.0% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019 and by 53.9% compared to the second quarter of 2020. The sharp increase in trade volumes has led to increased demand for sale containers, especially for one-way cargo shipments. Selling prices of our used dry containers were relatively flat compared to the third quarter of 2019 and increased by 3.3% compared to the second quarter of 2020. Used container disposal prices started to increase in the third quarter of 2020 in response to increased demand.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities, proceeds from the sale of our leasing equipment, and borrowings under our credit facilities. Our principal uses of cash include capital expenditures, debt service, dividends, and share repurchases.

For the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2020, cash provided by operating activities, together with the proceeds from the sale of our leasing equipment, was $1,201.8 million. In addition, as of September 30, 2020, we had $173.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1,449.0 million of maximum borrowing capacity under our current credit facilities.

As of September 30, 2020, our cash commitments in the next twelve months include $652.0 million of scheduled principal payments on our existing debt facilities and $649.6 million of committed but unpaid capital expenditures.

We believe that cash provided by operating activities, existing cash, proceeds from the sale of our leasing equipment, and availability under our credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our obligations over the next twelve months.

Asset-backed Securitization ("ABS") Note Issuances

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued $2,313.1 million in ABS notes at a weighted average interest rate of 2.2%. The majority of the proceeds from these issuances were used to call $1,783.1 million of higher cost notes, which is expected to reduce our interest expense by more than $25 million over the next year.

Share Repurchase Program

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company repurchased a total of 3.8 million common shares at an average price per share of $28.39 for a total cost of $107.2 million under its Board authorized share repurchase program. Since the inception of the program in August 2018, the Company has purchased over 12.5 million shares, or 15.5% of our common shares.

Preferred Share Offering

In January 2020, the Company completed a public offering of 6.875% Series D preference shares, selling 6,000,000 shares and generating $150.0 million of gross proceeds. The costs associated with the offering, inclusive of underwriting discount and other offering expenses, were $5.1 million.

The Company used the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including the purchase of containers, the repurchase of outstanding common shares, the payment of dividends, and the repayment or prepayment of outstanding indebtedness.

For additional information on the Share Repurchase Program and the Preferred Share Offering, please refer to Note 5 - “Other Equity Matters” in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Debt Agreements

At September 30, 2020, our outstanding indebtedness was comprised of the following (amounts in millions):

			September 30, 2020						Maximum Borrowing Level
Institutional notes			$	1,694.2					$	1,694.2
Asset-backed securitization term notes			2,986.8						2,986.8
Term loan facility			860.0						860.0
Asset-backed securitization warehouse			195.0						800.0
Revolving credit facilities			716.0						1,560.0

Unamortized debt premiums & discounts			(0.6)						—
Unamortized fair value debt adjustment			1.8						—
Debt, net of unamortized costs			$	6,429.4					$	7,918.9

The maximum borrowing levels depicted in the table above may not reflect the actual availability under all of the credit facilities. Certain of these facilities are governed by borrowing bases that limit borrowing capacity to an established percentage of relevant assets. As of September 30, 2020, the availability under these credit facilities without adding additional container assets to the borrowing base was approximately $724.1 million.

As of September 30, 2020, we had a combined $5,828.7 million of total debt on facilities with fixed interest rates or floating interest rates that have been synthetically fixed through interest rate swap contracts. This accounts for 90% of total debt.

Pursuant to the terms of certain debt agreements, we are required to maintain certain amounts in restricted cash accounts. As of September 30, 2020, we had restricted cash of $163.5 million.

For additional information on our debt, please refer to Note 7 - "Debt" in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Debt Covenants

We are subject to certain financial covenants related to leverage, interest coverage and net worth as defined in our debt agreements. The debt agreements are the obligations of our subsidiaries and all related debt covenants are calculated at the subsidiary level. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in a default under the related credit agreements and the acceleration of our outstanding debt if we were unable to obtain a waiver from the creditors. As of September 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all such covenants. The table below reflects the key debt covenants for the Company that cover the majority of our debt agreements:

Cash Flow

The following table sets forth certain cash flow information for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

			Nine Months Ended September 30,
			September 30, 2020						September 30, 2019
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities			$	682,341					$	779,507
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities			$	(171,789)					$	2,270
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities			$	(342,781)					$	(783,200)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $97.2 million to $682.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $779.5 million in the same period in 2019. The decrease is primarily due to reduced profitability and the timing of collections on accounts receivable.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $171.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $2.3 million in the same period in 2019, or a change of $174.1 million. The change was primarily due to a $193.9 million increase in payments for leasing equipment partially offset by a $19.8 million increase in cash proceeds from the sale of equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $440.4 million to $342.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $783.2 million in the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $336.4 million in net repayments of debt and a $102.4 million decrease in share repurchases. This was partially offset by a decrease in proceeds from the issuance of preferred shares of $76.5 million. Additionally, we paid $103.0 million in the first half of 2019 for the purchase of noncontrolling interests that did not reoccur in 2020.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

Leasing revenues.    Per diem revenue represents revenue earned under operating lease contracts. Fee and ancillary lease revenue represents fees billed for the pick-up and drop-off of containers in certain geographic locations and billings of certain reimbursable operating costs such as repair and handling expenses. Finance lease revenue represents interest income earned under finance lease contracts. The following table summarizes our leasing revenue for the periods indicated below (in thousands):

			Three Months Ended September 30,																		Variance
			2020						2019
Leasing revenues:
Operating leases
Per diem revenues			$	304,510					$	311,199					$	(6,689)
Fee and ancillary revenues			15,842						15,601						241
Total operating lease revenues			320,352						326,800						(6,448)
Finance leases			7,405						9,868						(2,463)
Total leasing revenues			$	327,757					$	336,668					$	(8,911)

Total leasing revenues were $327.8 million, net of lease intangible amortization of $5.4 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $336.7 million, net of lease intangible amortization of $8.7 million, in the same period in 2019, a decrease of $8.9 million.

Per diem revenues were $304.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $311.2 million in the same period in 2019, a decrease of $6.7 million. The primary reasons for this decrease are as follows:

•$9.5 million decrease due to a decrease in average per diem rates reflecting the impact of several large lease extension transactions at rates below our portfolio average and the pick-up of a large number of containers in the third quarter of 2020 on lifecycle leases at rates below our portfolio average; and

•$3.9 million decrease due to a decrease in average units on-hire; partially offset by

•$3.4 million increase due to the reclassification of certain contracts from finance leases to operating leases in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the renegotiation of the contracts and the elimination of purchase options; and

•$3.3 million increase due to a decrease in lease intangible amortization.

Fee and ancillary lease revenues were $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $15.6 million in the same period in 2019, an increase of $0.2 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in pick-up activity.

Finance lease revenues were $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $9.9 million in the same period in 2019, a decrease of $2.5 million. The decrease was primarily due to the reclassification of certain finance leases to operating leases in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the renegotiation of certain contracts and the runoff of the existing portfolio.

Trading margin.    Trading margin was $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $4.2 million in the same period in 2019, a decrease of $0.3 million. The decrease was due to a decrease in per unit margins as a result of a decrease in selling prices, partially offset by an increase in sales volume.

Net gain on sale of leasing equipment.    Gain on sale of equipment was $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $6.2 million in the same period in 2019, an increase of $4.5 million. The increase was primarily due to a 38.0% increase in sales volume of used dry containers.

32

---

Depreciation and amortization.    Depreciation and amortization was $136.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $133.4 million in the same period in 2019, an increase of $2.8 million. The primary reasons for the increase are as follows:

•$4.5 million increase due to an increase in the number of new production units being placed on-hire; and

•$1.9 million increase due to the reclassification of certain contracts from finance leases to operating leases in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the renegotiation of the contracts and the elimination of purchase options; partially offset by;

•$3.4 million decrease due to an increase in containers that have become fully depreciated or reclassified to assets held for sale.

Direct operating expenses.    Direct operating expenses primarily consist of our costs to repair equipment returned off lease, to store the equipment when it is not on lease and to reposition equipment from locations with weak leasing demand. Direct operating expenses were $26.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $20.5 million in the same period in 2019, an increase of $5.5 million. The primary reasons for the increase are as follows:

•$2.6 million increase in storage expense due to an increase in idle units; and

•$2.1 million increase in handling and repair expense due to higher net pick-up and drop-off activity.

Administrative expenses.    Administrative expenses were $21.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $18.5 million in the same period in 2019, an increase of $2.9 million. The primary reasons for the increase are as follows:

•$3.3 million increase due to an increase in our annual incentive expense; and

•$0.6 million increase due to an increase in professional fees; partially offset by

•$0.9 million decrease in travel expense due to travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Interest and debt expense.    Interest and debt expense was $62.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $77.4 million in the same period in 2019, a decrease of $14.6 million. The primary reasons for the decrease are as follows:

•$7.5 million decrease due to a decrease in the average debt balance of $697.5 million; and

•$7.1 million decrease due to a decrease in the average effective interest rate to 3.79% from 4.22%.

Debt termination expense. Debt termination expense was $24.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1.9 million in the same period in 2019, an increase of $22.4 million. This increase was primarily due to write-offs for unamortized debt and other costs related to the $1.8 billion prepayment of ABS notes in September 2020.

Income taxes. Income tax expense was $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $4.8 million in the same period in 2019, an increase in income tax expense of $11.0 million. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to an $8.6 million increase related to an intra-company sale of assets from a U.S. entity to a foreign entity that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

Leasing revenues.    Per diem revenue represents revenue earned under operating lease contracts. Fee and ancillary lease revenue represents fees billed for the pick-up and drop-off of containers in certain geographic locations and billings of certain reimbursable operating costs such as repair and handling expenses. Finance lease revenue represents interest income earned under finance lease contracts. The following table summarizes our leasing revenue for the periods indicated below (in thousands):

			Nine Months Ended September 30,																		Variance
			2020						2019
Leasing revenues:
Operating leases
Per diem revenues			$	897,744					$	938,593					$	(40,849)
Fee and ancillary revenues			48,835						46,999						1,836
Total operating lease revenues			946,579						985,592						(39,013)
Finance leases			24,043						30,501						(6,458)
Total leasing revenues			$	970,622					$	1,016,093					$	(45,471)

Total leasing revenues were $970.6 million, net of lease intangible amortization of $17.3 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1,016.1 million, net of lease intangible amortization of $29.4 million, in the same period in 2019, a decrease of $45.5 million.

Per diem revenues were $897.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $938.6 million in the same period in 2019, a decrease of $40.9 million. The primary reasons for this decrease are as follows:

•$34.3 million decrease due to a decrease in average units on-hire; and

•$27.8 million decrease due to a decrease in average per diem rates reflecting the impact of several large lease extension transactions and the pick-up of a large number of containers in the third quarter of 2020 on lifecycle leases at rates below our portfolio average; partially offset by

•$12.1 million increase due to a decrease in lease intangible amortization; and

•$9.1 million increase due to the reclassification of certain contracts from finance leases to operating leases in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the renegotiation of the contracts and the elimination of purchase options.

Fee and ancillary lease revenues were $48.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $47.0 million in the same period in 2019, an increase of $1.8 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in pick-up activity in the third quarter of 2020.

Finance lease revenues were $24.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $30.5 million in the same period in 2019, a decrease of $6.5 million. The decrease was due to the reclassification of certain finance leases to operating leases in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the renegotiation of certain contracts and the runoff of the existing portfolio.

Trading margin.    Trading margin was $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $12.2 million in the same period in 2019, a decrease of $4.4 million. The decrease was due to a decrease in per unit margins as a result of a decrease in selling prices.

Net gain (loss) on sale of leasing equipment.    Gain on sale of equipment was $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $22.2 million in the same period in 2019, a decrease of $2.8 million. The primary reasons for the decrease are as follows:

•$2.1 million decrease due to a 5.0% decrease in average used dry container selling prices, partially offset by a 20.3% increase in selling volumes; and

•$1.5 million decrease due to a gain recognized in the first quarter of 2019 related to units declared lost by a customer which did not reoccur in 2020.

35

---

Depreciation and amortization.    Depreciation and amortization was $402.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $403.3 million in the same period in 2019, a decrease of $1.1 million. The primary reasons for the decrease are as follows:

•$16.7 million decrease due to an increase in containers that have become fully depreciated or reclassified to assets held for sale; partially offset by

•$10.1 million increase due to an increase in the number of new production units being placed on-hire; and

•$5.1 million increase due to the reclassification of certain contracts from finance leases to operating leases in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the renegotiation of the contracts and the elimination of purchase options.

Direct operating expenses.    Direct operating expenses primarily consist of our costs to repair equipment returned off lease, to store the equipment when it is not on lease and to reposition equipment from locations with weak leasing demand. Direct operating expenses were $78.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $55.4 million in the same period in 2019, an increase of $23.5 million. The primary reasons for the increase are as follows:

•$15.0 million increase in storage expense due to an increase in idle units;

•$5.2 million increase in repair and handling expense due to higher net pick-up and drop-off activity; and

•$2.8 million increase in positioning expense due to customer pick-up requirements from specific locations.

Administrative expenses.    Administrative expenses were $61.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $56.7 million in the same period in 2019, an increase of $4.4 million. The primary reasons for this increase are as follows:

•$3.5 million increase due to an increase in our annual incentive expense;

•$2.2 million increase due to an increase in professional fees;

•$1.4 million increase due to higher compensation costs; and

•$0.6 million increase due to an increase in share-based compensation; partially offset by

•$2.1 million decrease in travel expense due to travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Provision (reversal) for doubtful accounts.    Provision for doubtful accounts was $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $0.5 million in the same period in 2019, an increase of $4.1 million. The increase is primarily due to reserves recorded in the first quarter of 2020 against the receivables from one of our mid-sized customers where we had been experiencing extended payment delays.

Interest and debt expense.    Interest and debt expense was $198.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $243.2 million in the same period in 2019, a decrease of $44.5 million. The primary reasons for the decrease are as follows:

•$26.0 million decrease due to a decrease in the average debt balance of $784.5 million; and

•$19.4 million decrease due to a decrease in the average effective interest rate to 3.97% from 4.35%.

Debt termination expense. Debt termination expense was $24.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $2.4 million in the same period in 2019, an increase of $22.0 million. The increase was primarily due to write-offs for unamortized debt and other costs related to the $1.8 billion prepayment of ABS notes in September 2020.

Income taxes. Income tax expense was $28.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $20.7 million in the same period in 2019, an increase in income tax expense of $7.4 million. The increase in income tax expense was primarily due to an $8.6 million increase related to an intra-company asset sale from a U.S. entity to foreign entity that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by a decrease in taxes as a result of decrease in pre-tax income.

Contractual Obligations

We are party to various operating and finance leases and are obligated to make payments related to our borrowings. We are also obligated under various commercial commitments, including obligations to our equipment manufacturers. Our equipment manufacturer obligations are in the form of conventional accounts payable, and are satisfied by cash flows from operations and financing activities.

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of September 30, 2020:

			Contractual Obligations by Period
Contractual Obligations:			Total						Remaining 2020						2021						2022						2023						2024						2025 and thereafter

(1)Amounts include actual interest for fixed debt, estimated interest for floating-rate debt and interest rate swaps which are in a payable position based on September 30, 2020 rates.

(2)Amounts include interest.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2020, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, which are often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We are, therefore, not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies are discussed in our Form 10-K.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, values or cash flows that may result from changes in the price of a financial instrument. The fair value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, might change as a result of changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market changes. We have operations internationally and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks include interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risks.

Interest Rate Risk

We enter into derivative agreements to fix the interest rates on a portion of our floating-rate debt. We assess and manage the external and internal risk associated with these derivative instruments in accordance with our overall operating goals. External risk is defined as those risks outside of our direct control, including counterparty credit risk, liquidity risk, systemic risk and legal risk. Internal risk relates to those operational risks within the management oversight structure and includes actions taken in contravention of our policies.

The primary external risk of our derivative agreements is counterparty credit exposure, which is defined as the ability of a counterparty to perform its financial obligations under the agreement. All of our derivative agreements are with highly-rated financial institutions. Credit exposures are measured based on the market value of outstanding derivative instruments. Both current and potential exposures are calculated for each derivative agreement to monitor counterparty credit exposure.

As of September 30, 2020, we had derivative agreements in place to fix interest rates on a portion of our borrowings under debt facilities with floating interest rates as summarized below:

Derivatives

Notional Amount

Weighted Average Fixed Leg (Pay) Interest Rate

Cap Rate

Weighted Average Remaining Term

Interest Rate Swap(1)

$1,805.6 Million

2.00%

n/a

5.1 years

Interest Rate Cap

$200.0 Million

n/a

5.5%

1.3 years

(1)     The impact of forward starting swaps with total notional amount of $350.0 million will increase the weighted average remaining term to 6.1 years.

Our derivative agreements are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Any unrealized gains or losses related to the changes in fair value are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified to interest and debt expense as they are realized. As of September 30, 2020, we do not have any non-designated derivatives. Previously, a portion of our swap portfolio was not designated and changes in the fair value of non-designated derivative agreements were recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net and reclassified to realized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net as they were realized.

Approximately 90% of our debt is either fixed or hedged using derivative instruments which helps mitigate the impact of changes in short-term interest rates. However, a 100 basis point increase in the interest rates on our unhedged debt (primarily LIBOR) would result in an increase of approximately $6.3 million in interest expense over the next 12 months.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

Although we have significant foreign-based operations, the majority of our revenues and our operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, we pay our non-U.S. employees in local currencies and certain operating expenses are denominated in foreign currencies. Net foreign currency exchange gains and losses were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Our senior management has evaluated the effectiveness and design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), as of September 30, 2020. Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of September 30, 2020, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, we are a party to litigation matters arising in connection with the normal course of our business. While we cannot predict the outcome of these matters, in the opinion of our management, based on information presently available to us, we believe that we have adequate legal defenses, reserves or insurance coverage and any liability arising from these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business. Nevertheless, unexpected adverse future events, such as an unforeseen development in our existing proceedings, a significant increase in the number of new cases or changes in our current insurance arrangements could result in liabilities that have a material adverse impact on our business.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the "Form 10-K"), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risk factor below updates those set forth in Part I, Item 1A, of the Form 10-K. The risks described in this report and in the Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

The continued spread of the COVID-19 pandemic may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant impact to businesses and supply chains globally. The imposition of work, social and travel restrictions, as well as other actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak, led to a significant decline in the global economy in the first half of 2020, including extended shutdowns of certain businesses, lower factory production, reduced volumes of global exports and disruptions in global shipping. This led to reduced container demand, which pressured container lease rates in the first half of the year, and increased the credit risk profile of our shipping line customers. Following the easing of measures to contain the spread of the pandemic and the initial reopening of businesses, trade volumes and container demand recovered strongly in the third quarter. However, many countries are seeing a resurgence in COVID-19 cases and there continues to be a high degree of risk and uncertainty with respect to the outlook for global economic conditions, global trade and container demand.

Risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company include, but are not limited to:

•an increase in credit concerns relating to our shipping line customers in the event that they face reduced demand, operational disruptions and increased costs relating to the pandemic, including the risk of bankruptcy or significant payment defaults or delays;

•reduced demand for containers and increased pressure on lease rates;

•reduced demand for sale of containers;

•operational issues that could prevent our containers from being discharged or picked up in affected areas or in other locations after having visited affected areas for a prolonged period of time;

•business continuity risks associated with remote working arrangements adopted during the pandemic, including increased cybersecurity risks, internet capacity constraints or other systems problems, and unanticipated difficulties or delays in our financial reporting processes;

•liquidity risks, including that disruptions in financial markets as a result of the pandemic may increase the cost and availability of capital, and the risk of non-compliance with financial covenants in debt agreements;

•potential impacts on key management, including health impacts and distraction caused by the pandemic response; and

•potential impacts on business relationships due to prolonged restrictions on travel.

The magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of any impact on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity, which could be material, cannot be reasonably determined at this time due to the rapid development and fluidity of the situation. The effects of the pandemic on our business will depend on its duration and severity, whether business disruptions will continue and the overall impact on the global economy.
