CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Triton International Limited contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 (the "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, 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.

All forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond Triton's control. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements. These factors include, without limitation, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions and the following:

•risks related to the acquisition of Triton by Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P., through its subsidiary Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation and its institutional partners (collectively, “Brookfield Infrastructure”), which was consummated on September 28, 2023, including risks related to potentially divergent interests of our sole common shareholder, the holders of our outstanding indebtedness and the holders of our outstanding preference shares; risks related to our "controlled company" status; and shareholder litigation in connection with the acquisition of Triton by Brookfield Infrastructure;

•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;

•our customers' decisions to buy rather than lease containers;

•increases in the cost of repairing and storing our off-hire containers;

•our dependence on a limited number of customers and suppliers;

•customer defaults;

•decreases in the selling prices of used containers;

•extensive competition in the container leasing industry;

•risks stemming from the international nature of our businesses, including global and regional economic conditions, including inflation and attempts to control inflation, and geopolitical risks such as the ongoing war in Ukraine;

•decreases in demand for international trade;

•risks resulting from the political and economic policies of the United States and other countries, particularly China, including but not limited to, the impact of trade wars, duties and tariffs;

•disruption to our operations from failures of, or attacks on, our information technology systems;

•disruption to our operations as a result of natural disasters;

•compliance with laws and regulations related to economic and trade sanctions, security, anti-terrorism, environmental protection and anti-corruption;

•the availability and cost of capital;

•restrictions imposed by the terms of our debt agreements;

•changes in tax laws in Bermuda, the United States and other countries; and

•other risks and uncertainties, including those listed under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 14, 2023 (the "2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K"), in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the other documents we file with the SEC from time to time, and such risks and uncertainties are specifically incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing list of important factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included herein and elsewhere. Any forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, Triton or its businesses or operations. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. Except to the extent required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

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 include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and 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, 2023; 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, 2023 and 2022; and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022, 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, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 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, 2022 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2023. 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 three largest customers accounted for 19%, 17%, and 11%, respectively, of the Company's lease billings for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Note 2—Merger

Brookfield Infrastructure Transaction

On September 28, 2023, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 11, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (“BIPC”), Thanos Holdings Limited (“Parent”) and Thanos MergerSub Limited, a subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2023, by and among the Company, BIPC, Parent and Merger Sub, Merger Sub merged with and into Triton (the “Merger”), with Triton surviving the Merger as a subsidiary of Parent.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each common share of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than certain excluded common shares), was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive, at the election of each shareholder, (x) mixed consideration of $68.50 in cash and 0.3895 Class A exchangeable subordinate voting shares (“BIPC Shares”) of BIPC, (y) all-cash consideration in an amount equivalent in value to the mixed consideration, which was equal to approximately $83.16, or (z) all-BIPC Share consideration in an amount equivalent in value to the mixed consideration, which was equal to approximately 2.21 BIPC Shares (the “Merger Consideration”). The number of BIPC Shares issued in exchange for each common share was subject to a collar mechanism set forth in the Merger Agreement, which was based on the weighted average price of BIPC Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) over the 10 consecutive trading days ending on the second trading day prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “BIPC Final Share Price”). The BIPC Final Share Price was approximately $37.64.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, Triton’s common shares were delisted from the NYSE on September 28, 2023. The last trading day for the common shares on the NYSE was September 27, 2023. On October 10, 2023, Triton filed a certification on Form 15 with the SEC requesting the deregistration of its common shares under the Exchange Act. As of October 24, 2023, there were 101,158,891 common shares outstanding, all of which were held by an affiliate of Brookfield Infrastructure; therefore, earnings per share data is not presented.

Triton’s Series A-E cumulative redeemable perpetual preference shares remained outstanding as an obligation of the Company and continued to be listed on the NYSE following the closing of the Merger.

Parent has accounted for the Merger under the acquisition method of accounting with the Company deemed to be the acquiree for accounting purposes. The Company and Parent have elected not to push down purchase accounting adjustments to reflect the assets and liabilities acquired at fair value, and therefore amounts reflected in the financial statements hereto have not been adjusted. The effective date of the Merger used for accounting purposes is September 30, 2023.

Triton incurred transaction and other costs related to the Merger which are included in "Transaction and other costs" in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 5—Share-Based Compensation

Prior to the completion of the Merger, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense for share-based payment transactions based on the grant date fair value. The expense was recognized over the employee's requisite service period, or vesting period of the equity award, approximately three years. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense in Administrative expenses of $2.5 million and $7.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $3.2 million and $9.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 138,727 restricted shares, and cancelled 81,190 vested shares to settle payroll taxes on behalf of employees.

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, upon closing of the Merger, Triton’s unvested restricted shares and restricted share units that were outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were converted into a contingent right to receive an amount in cash equal to the number of shares subject to such award, assuming attainment of the maximum level of performance for performance-based awards, multiplied by $83.16 per share. This amount will be paid upon the earlier of the original vesting date of the award and the twelve month anniversary of the Merger closing date subject to the participant's continued service with the Company. The modification of the unvested share-based awards changed the classification of the awards from equity to liability, as well as modified the original service period of the awards. As a result of the change in the classification of the awards, the Company reclassified $16.1 million from equity to Accounts payable and other accrued expenses. Further, the Company recorded incremental share-based compensation expense of $18.8 million to recognize the fair value of the awards based on the portion of the service period completed at the time of modification in Transaction and other costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The total unrecognized compensation liability related to the share-based awards of $17.4 million is expected to be recognized to Transaction and other costs over the remaining vesting period through September 30, 2024.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

whether or not declared. The Company may also redeem each Series of preference shares prior to the lapse of the five year period upon the occurrence of certain events as described in each instrument, 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 upon the occurrence of the preceding events, holders of preference shares may have the right to convert their preference shares into common shares. Specifically for Series E only, the Company may redeem the Series E Preference Shares if an applicable rating agency changes the methodology or criteria that were employed in assigning equity credit to securities similar to the Series E Preference Shares when originally issued, which either (a) shortens the period of time during which equity credit pertaining to the Series E Preference Shares would have been in effect had the methodology not been changed or (b) reduces the amount of equity credit as compared with the amount of equity credit that the rating agency had assigned to the Series E Preference Shares when originally issued.

Holders of preference 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.

Following the closing of the Merger, Triton's preference shares remained outstanding as an obligation of the Company, entitled to the same dividends and other preferences and privileges that they previously had, and continued to be listed on the NYSE.

Dividends

Dividends on shares of each Series are cumulative from the date of original issue and will be payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors. Dividends will be payable equal to the stated rate per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share. The Series rank senior to the Company's common shares with respect to dividend rights and rights upon the Company's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary.

Asset-Backed Securitization Term Instruments

Under the Company's ABS facilities, indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company enter into debt agreements for ABS term instruments, including 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 GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to nine months of interest expense.

Asset-Backed Securitization Warehouse

Under the Company’s ABS 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.

TRITON INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The Company's ABS warehouse facility has a borrowing capacity of $1,125.0 million that is available on a revolving basis to April 27, 2025, paying interest at term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 1.60%. After the revolving period, borrowings will convert to term notes with a maturity date of April 27, 2029, paying interest at SOFR plus 2.60%.

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 GAAP. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash balances on deposit in designated bank accounts equal to three months of interest expense.

Senior Notes

The Company’s senior notes are unsecured and have initial maturities ranging from 3 - 10 years and interest payments due semi-annually. The senior notes are prepayable (in whole or in part) at the Company's option at any time prior to the maturity date, subject to certain provisions in the senior note agreements, including the payment of a make-whole premium in respect to such prepayment.

On August 1, 2023, the Company’s $600.0 million, 0.80% senior notes matured. Payment at maturity was primarily funded by borrowings under Triton’s revolving credit facility. Additionally, three forward starting swaps with a total notional value of $300.0 million became effective on August 1, 2023, to offset a portion of the interest expense related to the borrowing under the revolving credit facility.

Term Loan Facility

The Company's term loan facility has a maturity date of May 27, 2026, which amortizes in quarterly installments and has a reference rate of term SOFR plus 1.35%. This facility is subject to covenants customary for unsecured financings of this type, including financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum ratio of unencumbered assets to certain financial indebtedness.

On September 1, 2023, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Triton Container International Limited and TAL International Container Corporation (the "Borrowers"), amended Triton's term loan facility to increase the size of the accordion feature under the term loan agreement to allow the Borrowers to increase the aggregate commitment amount under the agreement by up to an additional $500.0 million. Concurrently with the closing of the amendment, the Borrowers exercised the accordion and increased their borrowing under the term loan facility by $500.0 million. There was no change to the maturity date or reference rate under the term loan facility as a result of the amendment and incremental borrowing.

Revolving Credit Facility

The revolving credit facility has a maturity date of October 26, 2027, and has a maximum borrowing capacity of $2,000.0 million. The reference rate is term SOFR plus 1.35%. This facility is subject to covenants customary for unsecured financings of this type, primarily financial covenants that require us to maintain a minimum ratio of unencumbered assets to certain financial indebtedness.

The Company hedges the risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates on a portion of its floating-rate debt by entering into interest rate swap agreements that convert a portion of its floating-rate debt to a fixed rate basis, thus reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. The following table summarizes the Company's outstanding fixed-rate and floating-rate debt as of September 30, 2023:


	Balance Outstanding (in thousands)	Contractual Weighted Avg Interest Rate	Maturity Range		Weighted Avg Remaining Term
			From	To
Excluding impact of derivative instruments:
Fixed-rate debt	$4,957,543	2.23%	Jun 2024	Mar 2032	4.4 years
Floating-rate debt	$2,859,124	6.69%	May 2026	Apr 2029	3.3 years

Including impact of derivative instruments:
Fixed-rate debt	$4,957,543	2.23%
Hedged floating-rate debt	$1,609,000	3.87%
Total fixed and hedged debt	$6,566,543	2.63%
Unhedged floating-rate debt	$1,250,124	6.69%
Total debt	$7,816,667	3.27%

The fair value of total debt outstanding was $7,003.8 million and $7,264.7 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and was measured using Level 2 inputs.

As of September 30, 2023, the maximum borrowing levels for the ABS warehouse and the revolving credit facility were $1,125.0 million and $2,000.0 million, respectively. Certain of these facilities are governed by either borrowing bases or an unencumbered asset test that limits borrowing capacity. Based on those limitations, the availability under these credit facilities at September 30, 2023 was approximately $1,045.8 million.

The Company is subject to certain financial covenants under its debt financings. As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in accordance with the terms of its debt agreements.

Note 9—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. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and accordingly, changes in the fair value are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to interest and debt expense when they are realized.

The Company has entered into offsetting $500.0 million notional interest rate cap agreements with substantially similar economic terms related to certain debt facility requirements. These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments, and because they offset, changes in fair value have an immaterial impact on the financial statements.

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.

Certain assets of the Company's subsidiaries are pledged as collateral for various ABS facilities and the amounts payable under certain derivative agreements. Additionally, the Company may be required to post cash collateral on certain derivative agreements if the fair value of these contracts represents a liability. Any amounts of cash collateral posted are included in Other

assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are presented in operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash collateral on derivative instruments of $2.6 million.

Within the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify $50.1 million of net unrealized and realized gains related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had derivative agreements in place to fix interest rates on a portion of the borrowings under its debt facilities with floating interest rates as summarized below:

(1) Excludes certain interest rate swaps with an effective date in a future period ("forward starting swaps"). Including these instruments will increase total notional amount by $350.0 million and increase the weighted average remaining term to 4.0 years.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company entered into forward starting swaps with a notional value of $300.0 million that commenced on August 1, 2023 and have a termination date of March 31, 2025. These swaps were designated as cash flow hedges to fix the interest rates on a portion of the Company's floating rate debt.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The Company presents the fair value of derivative financial instruments on a gross basis as a separate line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

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 SOFR and swap rates and credit risk at commonly quoted intervals). The LIBOR reference rate sunset on June 30, 2023. Effective July 1, 2023, the Company’s derivative instruments utilizing LIBOR transitioned to SOFR as the alternative reference rate per the ISDA 2020 IBOR fallbacks protocol.

Note 10—Segment and Geographic Information

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.

Container Equipment Purchase Commitments

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had commitments to purchase equipment in the amount of $12.1 million to be paid in 2023.

Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company is party to various pending or threatened legal or regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. The ability to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties. Triton records liabilities related to legal matters when the exposure item becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management does not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on Triton’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and it is possible that a liability arising from these matters could have a material adverse impact in the period in which the uncertainties are resolved, depending in part on the operating results for such period.

In connection with the Merger, a putative Triton shareholder filed two petitions demanding an appraisal of its shares under Bermuda law in the Supreme Court of Bermuda. The actions, captioned Oasis Core Investments Fund Ltd. v. Triton International Limited, 2023: Nos. 263 and 265, purport to demand appraisal in respect of 1,184,300 common shares of the Company (approximately 2.15% of the outstanding Triton common shares prior to the closing of the Merger). If a Bermuda court were to find that the fair value of the Triton common shares exceeded the value of the Merger Consideration, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company would have to pay the additional amount for each Triton common share for

TRITON INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

which appraisal was validly sought in accordance with Bermuda law. The court may in its discretion award the prevailing party its costs, including attorneys’ fees, at the conclusion of the proceeding. Brookfield Infrastructure has already paid the Merger Consideration due under the terms of the Merger Agreement in cash with respect to these shares, but the Company has not provided for any additional amounts or costs. The proceedings are at a very early stage and the Company cannot predict at this time the outcome of the appraisal proceeding or when this matter will be resolved.

Note 12—Income Taxes

The following table summarizes the Company's effective tax rate:

	2023		2022		2023		2022

Effective Income Tax Rate	14.0	%	8.0	%	9.7	%	7.4	%

The Company has computed the provision for income taxes based on the estimated annual effective tax rate and the application of discrete items, if any, in the applicable period. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in the portion of the Company's income generated in lower tax rate jurisdictions as a result of transaction costs incurred in connection with the Merger.

Note 13—Related Party Transactions

The Company holds a 50% interest in Tristar Container Services (Asia) Private Limited ("Tristar"), which is primarily engaged in the selling and leasing of container equipment in the domestic and short sea markets in India. The Company's equity investment in Tristar is included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company received payments on finance leases with Tristar of $0.5 million and $1.5 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company has a direct finance lease receivable balance with Tristar of $6.2 million and $7.4 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 discussed under "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q to be filed by us, as well as in the other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") from time to time. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the "Company," "Triton," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Triton International Limited and, where appropriate, its consolidated subsidiaries.

Our Company

Triton 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.

Recent Developments

Brookfield Infrastructure Transaction

On September 28, 2023, we completed the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 11, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (“BIPC”), Thanos Holdings Limited (“Parent”) and Thanos MergerSub Limited, a subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2023, by and among the Company, BIPC, Parent and Merger Sub, Merger Sub merged with and into Triton (the “Merger”), with Triton surviving the Merger as a subsidiary of Parent.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, our common shares were delisted from the NYSE on September 28, 2023. The last trading day for the common shares on the NYSE was September 27, 2023. On October 10, 2023, we filed a certification on Form 15 with the SEC requesting the deregistration of our common shares under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

Our Series A-E cumulative redeemable perpetual preference shares remained outstanding as an obligation of the Company and continued to be listed on the NYSE following the closing of the Merger.

For additional information on the Merger, see "Risks Related to the Merger" under the caption “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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, 2023, our total fleet consisted of 4.0 million containers and chassis, representing 6.9 million twenty-foot equivalent units ("TEU") or 7.6 million cost equivalent units ("CEU"). We have an extensive global presence, offering leasing services through a worldwide network of local offices, and we utilize third-party container depots spread across over 40 countries to provide customers global access to our container fleet. Our primary customers include the world's largest container shipping lines. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our twenty largest customers accounted for 85% of our lease billings, our five largest customers accounted for 61% of our lease billings, and our three largest customers accounted for 19%, 17%, and 11%, respectively of our lease billings.

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 and the margins generated from trading new and used containers.

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 the road. Our in-house equipment sales group manages the sale process for our used containers and chassis from our equipment leasing fleet and sells used and new containers and chassis acquired from third parties.

The following tables summarize our equipment fleet (in Units, TEU and CEU). TEU and CEU are standard industry measures of fleet size and are used to measure the quantity of containers that make up our revenue earning assets:

(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 an estimate for the historical average 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, 2023:


Equipment Type	Percentage of total fleet in units		Percentage of total fleet in CEU
Dry	90.1	%	70.9	%
Refrigerated	5.5		21.6
Special	2.4		3.4
Tank	0.3		1.4
Chassis	0.7		1.9
Equipment leasing fleet	99.0	%	99.2	%
Equipment trading fleet	1.0		0.8
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, which we categorize as operating leases, typically have initial contractual terms ranging from five 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. Some of our containers, primarily used containers, are placed on lifecycle leases which keep the containers on-hire until the end of their useful life.

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

•Service leases, which we categorize as operating 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 categorize our operating leases as either long-term leases or service leases. Some leases have contractual terms that have features reflective of both long-term and service leases. We classify such leases as either long-term or service leases, depending upon which features we believe are predominant. For example, some leases that provide redelivery flexibility during the lease term are classified as long-term leases in cases where lessees have made large upfront payments to reduce their lease payment during the lease term or in cases where lessees will incur significant redelivery fees if containers are returned during the lease term. Such leases are generally considered to be long-term leases based on the expected on-hire time and the economic protection achieved by the lease economics.

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.

Operating Performance

Our fleet size and utilization decreased in the third quarter of 2023 due to limited trade growth and generally weak leasing demand. Global containerized trade volumes have been negatively impacted in 2023 by a shift in consumer spending back to services following a spike in goods consumption during the pandemic. Demand for containers has also been impacted by improving supply chain efficiency and the freeing of container capacity that had been absorbed by pandemic-related bottlenecks.

Our fleet size and the net book value of our revenue earning assets have decreased this year as a result of limited procurement. Through September 30, 2023 we have invested $136.1 million in new containers for delivery in 2023. Our utilization has also decreased in 2023, though at a moderate pace due to our strong long-term lease portfolio. Our utilization was 96.4% as of September 30, 2023.

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


	Quarter Ended
	September 30, 2023		June 30, 2023		March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022		September 30, 2022
Average Utilization	96.6	%	97.0	%	97.6	%	98.4	%	99.1	%
Ending Utilization	96.4	%	96.7	%	97.2	%	98.1	%	98.8	%

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

For the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2023, cash provided by operating activities, together with the proceeds from the sale of our leasing equipment, was $1,661.1 million. In addition, as of September 30, 2023, we had $55.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $1,770.0 million of borrowing capacity remaining under our existing credit facilities.

As of September 30, 2023, our cash commitments in the next twelve months include $953.4 million of scheduled principal payments on our existing debt facilities and $21.2 million of committed but unpaid capital expenditures, primarily for the purchase of equipment.

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 and beyond.

Capital Activity

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company paid dividends on preference shares of $13.0 million and $39.1 million, respectively, and paid dividends on common shares of $38.3 million and $115.6 million, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased a total of 1,884,616 common shares at an average price per share of $66.66 for a total cost of $125.7 million. On September 28, 2023, in connection with the Merger, all previously issued and outstanding common shares of Triton were cancelled. Following the closing of the Merger, 100% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares are privately held by an affiliate of Brookfield Infrastructure.

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company paid a $407.6 million capital distribution to Parent in connection with the closing of the Merger.

For additional information on capital activity and dividends, please refer to Note 6 - “Other Equity Matters” in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Debt Activity

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Triton Container International Limited and TAL International Container Corporation (the “Borrowers”), amended Triton’s term loan facility to increase the size of the accordion feature under the term loan agreement to allow the Borrowers to increase the aggregate commitment amount under the agreement by up to an additional $500.0 million. Concurrently with the closing of the amendment, the Borrowers exercised the accordion and increased the borrowing under the term loan facility by $500.0 million. There was no change to the maturity date or reference rate under the term loan facility as a result of the amendment and incremental borrowing.

In August 2023, the Company’s $600.0 million, 0.80% senior notes matured. Payment at maturity was primarily funded by borrowings under Triton’s revolving credit facility. Additionally, three forward starting swaps with a total notional value of $300.0 million became effective on August 1, 2023, to offset a portion of the interest expense related to the borrowing under the revolving credit facility.

We may, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, may be funded from operating cash flows or other sources, will be on such terms and at prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Credit Ratings

Our investment-grade corporate and long-term debt credit ratings enable us to lower our cost of funds and broaden our access to attractively priced capital. While a ratings downgrade, on its own, would not result in a default under any of our debt agreements, it could adversely affect our ability to issue debt and obtain new financings, or renew existing financings, and it would increase the cost of our financings. Additionally, under the terms of our senior notes and preference shares, certain ratings downgrades following the occurrence of a change of control, as more fully described in the relevant agreements governing those instruments, could give holders of those instruments certain redemption or conversion rights. The Company's long-term debt and corporate rating of BBB- from Fitch Ratings remained unchanged while S&P Global Ratings upgraded our ratings from BBB- to BBB in the third quarter of 2023, after the completion of the Merger.

Debt Agreements

As of September 30, 2023, our outstanding indebtedness was comprised of the following (amounts in millions):


	September 30, 2023
	Outstanding Borrowings		Maximum Borrowing Level

Secured Debt Financings
Asset-backed securitization term instruments	$	2,657.6	$	2,657.6

Unamortized debt costs	(47.7)		—
Unamortized debt premiums & discounts	(4.0)		—

Debt, net of unamortized costs	$	7,765.0	$	9,586.7

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 either borrowing bases or an unencumbered asset test that limits borrowing capacity. Based on those limitations, the availability under these credit facilities at September 30, 2023 was approximately $1,045.8 million.

As of September 30, 2023, we had a combined $6,566.5 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 84% of our total debt.

The following table summarizes the weighted average interest rates and remaining terms on this portion of our debt:


	Balance Outstanding (in millions)		Contractual Weighted Avg Interest Rate	Weighted Avg Remaining Term






Fixed-rate debt	$	4,957.5	2.23%		4.4 years
Hedged floating-rate debt	1,609.0		3.87%		2.9 years
Total fixed and hedged debt	$	6,566.5	2.63%		4.0 years

Pursuant to the terms of certain debt agreements, we are required to maintain certain amounts in restricted cash accounts. As of September 30, 2023, we had restricted cash of $95.7 million.

For additional information on our debt, please refer to Note 8 - "Debt" in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Debt Covenants

We are subject to certain financial covenants related to leverage and interest coverage as defined in our debt agreements. 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, 2023, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Cash Flow

The following table sets forth certain cash flow information for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		Variance
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	862,954	$	1,438,262	$	(575,308)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	121,139	$	(672,695)	$	793,834
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	(1,019,655)	$	(829,087)	$	(190,568)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $575.3 million to $863.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $1,438.3 million in the same period in 2022. The decrease is primarily due to lower profitability in the current period of $254.8 million which includes $51.1 million paid for transaction costs, and a $329.3 million change in deferred revenue. In the prior year, we received several lease prepayments for which we deferred revenue recognition compared to the amortization of these prepayments in the current year.

Investing Activities

Net cash generated from investing activities was $121.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $672.7 million in the same period in 2022. The change was primarily due to a $738.5 million decrease in the purchases of leasing equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $1,019.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $829.1 million in the same period in 2022. The change includes a $407.6 million capital distribution made by Triton to Parent in connection with the Merger and an increase in net debt repayments due to the decrease in equipment purchases and related financing requirements. These increases were partially offset by lower share repurchases and dividends paid in 2023.

Comparison of the Three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

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 revenues for the periods indicated below (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		Variance
Leasing revenues:
Operating leases
Per diem revenues	$	341,220	$	379,623	$	(38,403)
Fee and ancillary revenues	17,777		15,777		2,000
Total operating lease revenues	358,997		395,400		(36,403)
Finance leases	25,904		29,283		(3,379)

Total leasing revenues	$	384,901	$	424,683	$	(39,782)

Total leasing revenues were $384.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $424.7 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $39.8 million.

Per diem revenues were $341.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $379.6 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $38.4 million. The primary reasons for the decrease were as follows:

•$33.9 million decrease due to a decrease of approximately 0.7 million CEU in the average number of containers on-hire; and

•$6.4 million decrease due to a decrease in the average lease rates for our dry and refrigerated container product lines as a result of the impact of sizable lease extension transactions completed during 2023.

Fee and ancillary lease revenues were $17.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $15.8 million in the same period in 2022, an increase of $2.0 million, primarily due to an increase in repair and handling revenues as a result of a higher volume of redeliveries.

Finance lease revenues were $25.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $29.3 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $3.4 million. This decrease is primarily due to the early buyout of containers under finance lease in the fourth quarter of 2022 and second quarter of 2023.

Trading margin. Trading margin was $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $3.7 million in the same period in 2022, an increase of $0.8 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the sale of higher margin equipment.

Net gain (loss) on sale of leasing equipment. Gain on sale of equipment was $12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $26.5 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $14.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average sale price of used dry containers, partially offset by an increase in volume.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $141.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $158.5 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $17.1 million. The primary reasons for the decrease were as follows:

•$19.1 million decrease due to an increase in the number of containers that have become fully depreciated or reclassified to assets held for sale; partially offset by a

•$2.3 million increase due to new production units placed on-hire during 2022 that have a full quarter of depreciation in 2023, as well as new production units placed on-hire in the current year.

Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses primarily consist of our costs to repair equipment returned off lease, store equipment when it is not on lease and reposition equipment from locations with weak leasing demand. Direct operating expenses were $27.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $10.5 million in the same period in 2022, an increase of $16.6 million. The primary reasons for the increase were as follows:

•$14.7 million increase in storage expense resulting from an increase in the number of idle units; and a

•$2.3 million increase in handling and positioning expenses primarily due to a higher volume of repositioning.

Administrative expenses. Administrative expenses were $23.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $22.7 million in the same period in 2022, an increase of $0.9 million. The primary reasons for the increase were as follows:

•$1.5 million increase in overall employment costs; partially offset by a

•$0.6 million decrease in foreign exchange losses.

Transaction and other costs. Included in the three months ended September 30, 2023 are $68.7 million of transaction and other related costs associated with the Merger, including $39.7 million of Advisory fees and $20.2 million of employee compensation costs.

Interest and debt expense. Interest and debt expense was $60.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $57.1 million in the same period in 2022, an increase of $3.0 million. The primary reasons for the increase were as follows:

•$8.5 million increase due to an increase in the average effective interest rate to 3.14% from 2.70%. This was primarily the result of the repayment of the corporate note which matured August 1, 2023, that had a low fixed rate which was replaced with variable rate debt at a higher rate; partially offset by a

•$5.6 million decrease in interest expense due to a decrease in the average debt balance of $822.5 million.

Income tax expense (benefit). Income tax expense was $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $16.6 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $5.2 million. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily the result of a decrease in pre-tax income. The Company's effective tax rate was 14.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 8.0% in the same period in 2022. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in the portion of the Company's income generated in lower tax rate jurisdictions as a result of transaction costs incurred in connection with the Merger.

Fee and ancillary lease revenues were $52.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $40.9 million in the same period in 2022, an increase of $12.0 million, primarily due to an increase in repair and handling revenues due to higher volume of redeliveries.

Finance lease revenues were $79.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $86.9 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $7.1 million.

During 2023, we reversed $2.9 million of a reserve established in 2022 due to better than expected recoveries.

Interest and debt expense. Interest and debt expense was $176.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $166.3 million in the same period in 2022, an increase of $9.9 million. The primary reasons for the increase were as follows:

•$24.6 million increase due to an increase in the average effective interest rate to 3.00% from 2.58%. This was the result of the increase in variable interest rates on the unhedged portion of our debt and the repayment of a corporate note which matured August 1, 2023, that had a low fixed rate and was replaced with variable rate debt at a higher rate; partially offset by a

•$14.7 million decrease due to a decrease in the average debt balance of $756.9 million.

Debt termination expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $1.9 million of debt termination costs related to the prepayment of asset-backed securitization term notes. The Company did not incur any debt termination costs in 2023.

Income tax expense (benefit). Income tax expense was $38.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $46.5 million in the same period in 2022, a decrease of $7.9 million. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income. The Company's effective tax rate was 9.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to 7.4% in the same period in 2022. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in the portion of the Company's income generated in lower tax rate jurisdictions as a result of transaction costs incurred in connection with the Merger.

Critical Accounting Estimates

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. For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since our 2022 Annual Report on 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 include 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 counterparty credit risks and the market value of outstanding derivative instruments.

As of September 30, 2023, 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 (in millions)

Weighted Average
Fixed Leg (Pay) Interest Rate

Weighted Average
Remaining Term

Interest Rate Swap(1)

$1,609.0

2.49%

2.9 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, 2023, we have certain interest rate cap agreements that are non-designated derivatives and changes in fair value are recognized as unrealized (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Approximately 84% of our debt is either fixed or hedged using derivative instruments which helps mitigate the impact of changes in short-term interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in the interest rates on our unhedged debt (Term SOFR) would result in an increase of approximately $12.4 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) losses were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $0.9 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our senior management has evaluated the effectiveness and design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2023. 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, 2023, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our senior management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. Similarly, an evaluation of controls cannot provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time we are a party to various legal proceedings, including claims, suits and government proceedings and investigations arising in connection with the normal course of our business. For a discussion of legal proceedings, please refer to Note 11 - "Contingencies" to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Our business is subject to numerous risks. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under the caption "Risk Factors” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented and updated by the risk factors below. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Risks Related to the Merger

The interests of the sole holder of our common shares may differ from the interests of holders of our indebtedness and preference shares.

Following the Merger, an affiliate of Brookfield Infrastructure owns all of the Company’s outstanding common shares and Brookfield Infrastructure has the ability to appoint the members of our Board of Directors. As a result, Brookfield Infrastructure has significant influence over our business. The interests of Brookfield Infrastructure may differ from those of holders of our outstanding indebtedness and preference shares in material respects. For example, Brookfield Infrastructure may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their overall equity investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to holders of our outstanding indebtedness or preference shares. Brookfield Infrastructure is in the business of making investments in companies, and may from time to time in the future, acquire interests in businesses that directly or indirectly compete with certain portions of our business or are our suppliers or customers. The companies in which Brookfield Infrastructure invests may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us.

We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE and only list preference shares on the NYSE and, as a result, qualify for and intend to rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. Holders of our preference shares will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

Following the Merger, affiliates of Brookfield Infrastructure control a majority of the combined voting power of all classes of our shares. As a result, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the NYSE. Under the rules of the NYSE, a “controlled company” is exempt from certain corporate governance requirements. Additionally, because our common shares were delisted from the NYSE and only our preference shares remain listed on the NYSE following the Merger, certain of the listing rules, corporate governance requirements and provisions of the Exchange Act are no longer applicable to us. These include, for example, the requirements that:

•a majority of our board of directors consist of independent directors;

•our nominating and corporate governance committee and our compensation committee be composed entirely of independent directors;

•we maintain a code of conduct and ethics and corporate governance guidelines; and

•we comply with the proxy solicitation rules under the Exchange Act, including the furnishing of an annual proxy or information statement.

Following the Merger, we have elected to utilize certain of the exemptions available to us and may elect to utilize all of the exemptions available to us in the future. Accordingly, holders of our preference shares no longer have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE or certain of the reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

In connection with the Merger, the Company suspended its share repurchase program after the close of business on April 6, 2023. Following the closing of the Merger, 100% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares are privately held by an affiliate of Brookfield Infrastructure and have ceased trading on the NYSE and are no longer listed on any public market.
