Financial Results

The following table summarizes Triton’s selected key financial
information for the three months ended March 31, 2019, December 31,
2018, and March 31, 2018.

Operating Performance

“Triton achieved excellent results in the first quarter of 2019,”
commented Brian M. Sondey, Chief Executive Officer of Triton. “We
generated $92.8 million of Adjusted net income in the first quarter, or
$1.19 of Adjusted net income per share, and we realized an annualized
Return on equity of 17.2%.”

“Triton’s strong financial results in the first quarter were supported
by our continued outstanding operating performance, and key operating
metrics such as utilization and used container sale prices remained at
high levels. However, new lease transaction activity and container
pick-up volumes were slow throughout the first quarter and we have so
far limited our purchases of new containers. The first quarter typically
represents the depth of the slow season for dry containers, and this
typical seasonal weakness has likely been compounded this year by
increased uncertainty related to the ongoing trade dispute between the
United States and China. We recently have seen some increase in lease
inquiries, and new container prices have rebounded toward the $1,900
range for a 20’ dry container, but the overall pace of leasing activity
has not yet shifted to typical pre-peak season levels.”

“Triton has taken a number of actions this year to drive shareholder
value. We repurchased 2.6 million shares of our common stock during the
first quarter at values we believe are compelling, increasing our total
purchases to 5.1 million shares since last summer. In addition, we
repurchased the majority of the third-party investor interests in a
partnership which owns a portfolio of containers in our fleet. We also
completed an inaugural issuance of perpetual preferred stock. We believe
the perpetual preferred stock provides an attractive combination of risk
protection and cost, and will be a valuable addition to our capital
structure. Overall, our strong cash flow, unrivaled operating
capabilities and range of financing options continue to give us many
levers to drive shareholder value.”

Outlook

“Our customers continue to expect trade growth will be moderately
positive in 2019 and we expect leasing activity will accelerate as we
move deeper into the second quarter, supporting our utilization and
providing more investment opportunities. However, we do not expect the
one-time items benefiting the first quarter to reoccur, and we
transferred a large number of containers from short-term to long-term
lease with one of our major customers, which will negatively impact our
leasing revenue in the near-term but lead to an attractive and more
secure long-term value for the containers. Overall, we expect our
Adjusted net income per share will decrease slightly from the first
quarter of 2019 to the second quarter, and then increase from the second
quarter through the end of the year.”

Dividends

Triton’s Board of Directors has approved a cash dividend of $0.53125 per
share on its 8.5% Series A Preferred Shares (NYSE:TRTN-PA) payable
June 17, 2019 to holders on record at the close of business as of
June 10, 2019.

Triton’s Board of Directors has approved and declared a $0.52 per share
quarterly cash dividend on its issued and outstanding common shares,
payable on June 27, 2019 to shareholders of record at the close of
business on June 6, 2019.

Share Repurchase Update

As of April 22, 2019, we have repurchased approximately 5.1 million
common shares under the share repurchase plan authorized in August 2018
for a total of $162.0 million at an average price per-share of $31.56.
This represents 6.3% of the shares outstanding at the start of the
repurchase plan. On April 25, 2019, Triton’s Board of Directors
authorized a new $200.0 million share repurchase program replacing the
previous authorization.

Mr. Sondey concluded, “We continue to view share repurchases as a
compelling investment for the company and a high value use for our
strong and stable equity cash flow. We believe the embedded value of our
existing contractual lease streams and containers compare favorably to
our current market valuation, even without considering the value of our
best-in-class market leading franchise.”

Important Cautionary Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this release, other than statements of historical
information, are “forward-looking statements”, including statements
regarding our strategy, future operations, and future financial
positions, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Statements that include the words “expect,” “estimate”,
“anticipate,” “predict”, “believe,” “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:
uncertainty as to the long-term value of Triton’s common shares;
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; our 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 our business; decreases in the demand
for international trade; disruption to our operations 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, tariffs and other trade actions; disruption to our
operations from failures of, or attacks on, our information technology
systems; our compliance or failure to comply with laws and regulations
related to economic and trade sanctions, security, anti-terrorism,
environmental protection and corruption; our ability to obtain
sufficient capital to support our growth; 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 risk factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the
“Form 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”),
on February 19, 2019, in any Form 10-Q filed or to be filed by Triton,
and in other documents we file with the SEC from time to time.

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, including the risk
factors set forth in our Form 10-K.. Any forward-looking statements made
herein 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 business or operations. 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. Certain financial measures are
identified as not being prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Please refer to the “Use of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Non-GAAP Reconciliations of Adjusted
Net Income” set forth below for a reconciliation of such non-GAAP
measures to their most comparable GAAP measures.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the term “Adjusted net income” throughout this press release.

Adjusted net income is adjusted for certain items management believes
are not representative of our operating performance. Adjusted net income
is defined as net income attributable to shareholders excluding debt
termination costs net of tax, gains and losses on interest rate swaps
net of tax, transaction and other costs net of tax, and taxes
adjustments related to the intra-entity transfer.

Adjusted net income is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. Adjusted net income should not be considered as an alternative to,
or more meaningful than, amounts determined in accordance with U.S.
GAAP, including net income.

We believe that Adjusted net income is useful to an investor in
evaluating our operating performance because this measure:

• is widely used by securities analysts and investors to measure a
  company’s operating performance;
• helps investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results
  of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our
  capital structure, our asset base and certain non-routine events which
  we do not expect to occur in the future; and
• is used by our management for various purposes, including as measures
  of operating performance and liquidity, to assist in comparing
  performance from period to period on a consistent basis, in
  presentations to our board of directors concerning our financial
  performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.

We have provided a reconciliation of net income attributable to
shareholders, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to
Adjusted net income in the table below for the three months ended
March 31, 2019, December 31, 2018, and March 31, 2018.
