CAI International, Inc. (CAI) (NYSE: CAI), one of the world’s leading transportation finance and logistics companies, today announced an expansion of its revolving credit facility and provided a financial update.

Highlights

  • CAI has reached agreement with the lenders of its Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement to increase the total loan commitment from $775 million to $960 million. Other than the increase in the loan commitment, all other terms of the facility remain unchanged. This increase provides financing for both existing container commitments and additional investment.
  • CAI estimates that its net income for the second quarter of 2017 will be between $10.7 million and $11.3 million, or 55 cents and 58 cents per share. This represents an increase of more than 100% compared to its net income in the first quarter of 2017 of $5.3 million, primarily as a result of a combination of revenue from new investment, higher utilization, increased rental rates on expiring contracts and gains on sale of equipment.
  • During the year to date, CAI has invested approximately $370 million in new containers, of which $105 million is expected to be delivered in the second quarter and $202 million in the third quarter of 2017.
  • Virtually all of the equipment expected to be delivered in the second and third quarters is under committed leases with an average lease term in excess of eight years.
  • Utilization of CAI’s owned container fleet is currently 97.7%, 1.2 percentage points higher than at the end of the first quarter of 2017. CAI expects utilization to be above 98% during the third quarter.
  • Based on the level of committed leases on new investment, high utilization and continued favorable container market conditions, CAI expects further improvement in operating results throughout 2017.
  • CAI has committed leases for 185 newly manufactured railcars that it expects to be on lease by the end of the fourth quarter of 2017.
