Utilization of containers is computed by dividing the total units on lease in CEUs (cost equivalent units), by the total units in our fleet in CEUs. | ||||||||
The total container fleet excludes new units not yet leased and off-hire units designated for sale. | ||||||||
Utilization of railcars is computed by dividing the total number of railcars on lease by the total number of railcars in our fleet. | ||||||||
The impact on utilization of including new units not yet leased in the total railcar fleet has been included in the table above. | ||||||||
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 standard 20 foot dry van container. For example, the CEU ratio for a standard 40 foot dry van | ||||||||
container is 1.6, and a 40 foot high cube container is 1.7. |

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, and includes net income and earnings per share adjusted to reflect the impact of a non-recurring write-off of debt issuance costs, the impairment of rental equipment and the tax effects of such impairment. This press release also refers to return on equity, which is calculated using the non-GAAP financial measure, adjusted net income. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We believe the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to management and investors regarding various financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations, and that when GAAP financial measures are viewed in conjunction with non-GAAP financial measures, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance. Management utilizes return on equity in evaluating how much profit the Company generates on the shareholders’ equity in the Company and believes it is useful for comparing the profitability of companies in the same industry. Non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. To the extent this release contains historical non-GAAP financial measures, we have also provided a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measures for comparative purposes.
