(1)The Company and Nature of Operations

Organization

CAI International, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, CAI or the Company), is a transportation finance and logistics company. The Company purchases equipment, primarily intermodal shipping containers and railcars, which it leases to its customers. The Company also manages equipment for third-party investors. In operating its fleet, the Company leases, re-leases and disposes of equipment and contracts for the repair, repositioning and storage of equipment. The Company also provides domestic and international logistics services.

In July 2015, the Company purchased ClearPointt Logistics LLC (ClearPointt), an intermodal logistics company focused on the domestic intermodal market, for approximately $4.1 million. ClearPointt is headquartered in Everett, Washington. 

In February 2016, the Company purchased Challenger Overseas LLC (Challenger), a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC), for approximately $10.8 million (see Note 5). Challenger is headquartered in Eatontown, New Jersey.

In June 2016, the Company purchased Hybrid Logistics, Inc. and its affiliate, General Transportation Services, Inc. (collectively, Hybrid), asset light truck brokers, for approximately $12.0 million (see Note 5). Hybrid is headquartered in Portland, Oregon.

The Company’s common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CAI.” The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in San Francisco, California.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of CAI International, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and its previously 80%-owned subsidiary, CAIJ, Inc. (CAIJ), up to its date of disposal in April 2016. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the Company’s cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which may be reported for the remainder of 2016 or in any future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 3, 2016.

 

(2)Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

(a)Accounting Policies

Container rental equipment is recorded at original cost and depreciated to an estimated residual value on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives and residual values of the Company’s container equipment are based on historical disposal experience and the Company’s expectations for future used container sale prices. Depreciation estimates are reviewed on a regular basis to determine whether changes have taken place that would suggest that a change in depreciation estimates, useful lives of its equipment or the assigned residual values, is warranted.

After the Company conducted its regular depreciation policy review, it concluded that a change in the estimated residual value for 40-foot high cube dry van containers from $1,650 to $1,400 per container, effective July 1, 2016, was appropriate.  The change increased the Company’s depreciation expense by $3.4 million, decreased net income by $3.2 million, and decreased diluted earnings per share by $0.17 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Depreciation estimates were last changed for 40-foot high cube dry van containers (and other container types within the Company’s fleet) during 2012. Since that time, disposal prices for 40-foot high cube dry van containers have declined and the Company experienced losses when selling certain of these assets during 2015 and 2016. The change in residual value estimate was made to better align residual value with expectations for future used container sale prices.

In considering changes to residual values for the three major dry van categories, the Company reviewed 3-year, 5-year, 7-year, and 11-year average disposition pricings trends. As with all estimates, particularly related to long-lived assets, current market performance may not necessarily be indicative of long-term residual values, so the Company does not adjust residual values to point-in-time prices. Rather, the Company considers the mix of data shown in the following table and uses the average over time to either confirm residual value estimates or support revisions to those estimates.

---

 

CAI INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)



The sale-related unit proceeds by dry van container category that we considered as of September 30, 2016 are shown below:





The Company’s residual value estimates ($1,050 for a 20-ft. dry van, $1,300 for a 40-ft. dry van, and $1,400 for a 40-ft. high cube dry van) are lower in each instance than the historical averages, with the exception of the 3-year average. While the Company experienced losses when selling certain of these assets during 2015 and 2016, the Company does not adjust long-term residual value estimates based on short-term data points, such as current year sale results and the 3-year average shown above, as the Company does not believe they are indicative of a change in the long-term market value for these containers. The Company does regularly review this data and updates the analysis, and will make further revisions to residual value estimates as and when conditions warrant.

The largest segment of the Company’s non-dry van container fleet consists of 20-ft. refrigerated containers and 40-ft. high cube refrigerated containers. The Company regularly reviews the residual value estimates associated with its refrigerated containers. Given the specific nature of these assets and the lower volumes of containers that are sold each year in the secondary market, there is less variability in asset pricing. Similar to the Company’s dry van containers, the Company evaluates the relationship between sales prices and residual values over a long-term horizon. When measured at September 30, 2016, sales proceeds for 20-ft. refrigerated and 40-ft. high cube refrigerated containers averaged $3,180 and $4,065, respectively, over the prior 3-year period, and $3,219 and $4,111, respectively, over the prior 5-year period. The Company excluded 7-year and 11-year historical averages from its analysis as it does not have a long enough history of sales for refrigerated containers. The current residual values for 20-ft. refrigerated and 40-ft. high cube refrigerated containers are set at $2,750 and $3,500, respectively. Based on the data trends, the Company believes that the residual value estimates for its refrigerated containers are appropriate and do not warrant revision.

The Company continuously monitors disposal prices across its entire portfolio for indications of a deeper, more sustained market downturn. If necessary, the Company will adjust its estimates if there are indicators that the current weak market for containers will be sustained over a longer time horizon.

There were no other changes to the Company’s accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2016, for a description of the Company’s significant accounting policies. 

(b)Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU No. 2014-09). This new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminates industry-specific guidance. Leasing revenue recognition is specifically excluded from this ASU, and therefore, the new standard will only apply to management fee revenue, sales of equipment portfolios, sales of used equipment and the provision of logistics services. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendment to the Consolidation Analysis (ASU No. 2015-02). The new guidance changes (1) the identification of variable interests (fees paid to a decision maker or service provider), (2) the variable interest entity (VIE) characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and (3) the primary beneficiary determination. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-02 effective January 1, 2016, and adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU No. 2015-03).  The new guidance requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2015-03 effective January 1, 2016. Adoption of the guidance resulted in the reclassification of unamortized debt issuance costs of $12.7 million and $13.0 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, from prepaid expenses and other current assets to a reduction of debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)



In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (ASU No. 2015-17). The new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance may be applied either prospectively, for all deferred tax assets and liabilities, or retrospectively. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2015-07 effective December 31, 2015 on a prospective basis. No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted, and adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (ASU No. 2016-02). The new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic. The new guidance will require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases, with the exception of leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease. Lessor accounting will remain similar to the current model. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU No. 2016-09), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification of related amounts within the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flow (Topic 230) (ASU No. 2016-15). The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows, including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, and proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, among others. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, provided that all of the amendments are adopted in the same period, and must be applied using a retrospective transition method. Adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.



(3)Insurance Receivable and Impairment

In August 2016, Hanjin Shipping Co., Ltd. filed for court protection from its creditors. Based on prior experience, the Company believes that most of its containers will be recovered. The Company maintains insurance to cover the value of containers that are unlikely to be recovered from its customers, the cost to recover containers and up to 180 days of lost lease rental income. Accordingly, during the three months ended September 30, 2016, an impairment charge was recorded to write off containers with a  book value of $3.2 million, which the Company does not expect to recover. An insurance receivable of $1.4 million was recorded for $1.2 million of estimated proceeds for irrecoverable containers and $0.2 million of recovery costs recorded as a reduction to storage, handling and other expenses. The impairment, net of estimated insurance proceeds of $2.0 million, was recorded in depreciation expense in the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. In addition, bad debt expense of $2.5 million was recorded in the consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, to fully reserve for the customer’s outstanding accounts receivable.



(4)Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities as a Non-Controlling Interest

The Company regularly performs a review of its container fund arrangements with investors to determine whether or not it has a variable interest in the fund and if the fund is a variable interest entity (VIE). If it is determined that the Company does not have a variable interest in the fund, further analysis is not required and the Company does not consolidate the fund. If it is determined that the Company does have a variable interest in the fund and the fund is a VIE, a  further analysis is performed to determine if the Company is a primary beneficiary of the VIE and meets both of the following criteria under ASC Topic 810:

If in the Company’s judgment both of the above criteria are met, the VIE’s financial statements are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as required under ASC Topic 810, Consolidation.

CAI INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)



The Company currently enters into two types of container fund arrangements with investors which are reviewed under ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. These arrangements include container funds that the Company manages for investors and container funds that have entered into financing arrangements with investors. Several of the funds that the Company manages and funds under financing arrangements are Japanese container funds that were established under separate investment agreements allowed under Japanese commercial laws (see Note 14). Each of the funds is financed by unrelated Japanese third party investors.

Managed Container Funds

The fees earned by the Company for arranging, managing and establishing container funds are commensurate with the level of effort required to provide those services, and are at or above the same level of seniority as other operating liabilities of the funds that are incurred in the normal course of business. As such, the Company does not have a variable interest in the managed containers funds, and does not consolidate those funds. The Company recognizes gain on sale of containers to the unconsolidated funds as sales in the ordinary course of business. No container portfolios were sold to the Japanese funds in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Collateralized Financing Obligations

As of September 30, 2016, the Company has transferred containers, with a total net book value of  $191.8 million at the time of transfer, to Japanese investor funds while concurrently entering into lease agreements for the same containers, under which the Company leases the containers back from the Japanese investors. In accordance with ASC Topic 840, Sale-Leaseback Transactions, the Company concluded these were financing transactions under which sale-leaseback accounting was not applicable.

The terms of the transactions with container funds under financing arrangements include options for the Company to purchase the containers from the funds at a fixed price. As a result of the residual interest resulting from the fixed price call option, the Company concluded that it may absorb a significant amount of the variability associated with the funds’ anticipated economic performance and, as a result, the Company has a variable interest in the funds. The funds are considered VIEs under ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, because, as lessee of the funds, the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact each entity’s economic performance, including the leasing and managing of containers owned by the funds. As the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs and the variable interest provides the Company with the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the funds, the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs and included the VIEs’ assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, and the results of the VIEs’ operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The containers that were transferred to the Japanese investor funds had a net book value of $69.6 million as of September 30, 2016. The container equipment, together with $22.0 million of cash held by the investor funds, has been included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets with the offsetting liability related to the funds presented in the debt section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as collateralized financing obligations of $91.6 million and term loans held by VIE of $5.8 million. See Note 9(e) and 9(f) for additional information. No gain or loss was recognized by the Company on the initial consolidation of the VIEs. Containers sold to the Japanese investor funds during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, had book values of $9.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively. Containers sold to the Japanese investor funds during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, had book values of $26.1 million and $21.6 million, respectively.



(5)Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company completed the acquisitions of Challenger and Hybrid, for total consideration of $22.8 million, $6.0 million of which was contingent and based on their future performance. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company decreased its estimate of the acquired companies’ future performance, and as a result reduced  the contingent consideration by $1.0 million. Expected future payments of $3.5 million and $1.5 million are recorded in Other long-term liabilities and Accrued expenses and Other current liabilities, respectively, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2016. The acquisitions were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, either individually or in the aggregate. Accordingly, pro forma results of operations related to these business acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 have not been presented. The Company has included the financial results of these business acquisitions in its consolidated financial statements from their respective date of acquisition.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)





In order to estimate the allowance for losses contained in gross finance lease receivables, the Company reviews the credit worthiness of its customers on an ongoing basis. The review includes monitoring credit quality indicators, the aging of customer receivables and general economic conditions.

The categories of gross finance lease receivables based on the Company's internal customer credit ratings can be described as follows:

Tier 1— These customers are typically large international shipping lines that have been in business for many years and have world-class operating capabilities and significant financial resources. In most cases, the Company has had a long commercial relationship with these customers and currently maintains regular communication with them at several levels of management, which provides the Company with insight into the customer's current operating and financial performance. In the Company's view, these customers have the greatest ability to withstand cyclical down turns and would likely have greater access to needed capital than lower-rated customers. The Company views the risk of default for Tier 1 customers to range from minimal to moderate.

Tier 2— These customers are typically either smaller shipping lines or freight forwarders with less operating scale or with a high degree of financial leverage, and accordingly the Company views these customers as subject to higher volatility in financial performance over the business cycle. The Company generally expects these customers to have less access to capital markets or other sources of financing during cyclical down turns. The Company views the risk of default for Tier 2 customers as moderate.

Tier 3— Customers in this category exhibit volatility in payments on a regular basis.

Based on the above categories, the Company's gross finance lease receivables were as follows (in thousands):

 



Contractual maturities of the Company's gross finance lease receivables subsequent to and as of September 30, 2016 for the years ending September 30 were as follows (in thousands):

(a)Revolving Credit Facilities

Revolving credit facilities consist of the following:

(i) On March 15, 2013, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, with a consortium of banks to finance the acquisition of container rental equipment and for general working capital purposes. On January 30, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the revolving credit facility was amended to extend the maturity date to March 15, 2020, reduce the interest rate, increase the commitment level from $760.0 million to $775.0 million, and revise certain of the covenants and restrictions to provide the Company with additional flexibility.

As of September 30, 2016, the maximum commitment under the revolving credit facility was $775.0 million. The revolving credit facility may be increased up to a maximum of $960.0 million, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, so long as no default or event of default exists either before or immediately after giving effect to the increase. There is a commitment fee on the unused amount of the total commitment, payable quarterly in arrears. The revolving credit facility provides that swing line loans (short-term borrowings of up to $25.0 million in the aggregate that are payable within 10 business days or at maturity date, whichever comes earlier) and standby letters of credit (up to $30.0 million in the aggregate) will be available to the Company. These credit commitments are part of, and not in addition to, the total commitment provided under the revolving credit facility. The interest rates vary depending upon whether the loans are characterized as Base Rate loans or Eurodollar rate loans, as defined in the revolving credit agreement. Interest rates are based on LIBOR for Eurodollar loans and Base Rate for Base Rate loans. In addition to various financial and other covenants, the Company’s revolving credit facility also includes certain restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur other indebtedness or pay dividends to stockholders. As of September 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the revolving credit facility.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had $266.4 million in availability under the revolving credit facility (net of $0.1 million in letters of credit) subject to its ability to meet the collateral requirements under the agreement governing the facility. Based on the borrowing base and collateral requirements at September 30, 2016, the borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was $74.9 million, assuming no additional contribution of assets. The entire amount of the facility drawn at any time plus accrued interest and fees is callable on demand in the event of certain specified events of default.

The Company’s revolving credit facility, including any amounts drawn on the facility, is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company (not otherwise used as security for its other credit facilities) including equipment owned by the Company, which had a net book value of $704.9 million as of September 30, 2016, the underlying leases and the Company’s interest in any money received under such contracts.

(ii) On October 22, 2015, the Company and CAI Rail Inc. (CAI Rail), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement with a consortium of banks, pursuant to which the prior revolving credit facility was amended to extend the maturity date to October 22, 2020, reduce the interest rate, increase the commitment level from $250.0 million to $500.0 million, which may be increased up to a maximum of $700.0 million subject to certain conditions, and revise certain of the covenants and restrictions under the prior facility to provide the Company with additional flexibility. As of September 30, 2016, the maximum credit commitment under the revolving credit facility was $500.0 million.

Borrowings under this revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable rate. The interest rates vary depending upon whether the loans are characterized as Base Rate loans or Eurodollar rate loans, as defined in the revolving credit agreement.  Interest rates are based on LIBOR for Eurodollar loans and Base Rate for Base Rate loans.

As of September 30, 2016, CAI Rail had  $297.5 million in availability under the revolving credit facility, subject to its ability to meet the collateral requirements under the agreement governing the facility. Based on the borrowing base and collateral requirements at September 30, 2016, the borrowing availability under the revolving credit facility was $2.0  million, assuming no additional contribution of assets. The entire amount of the facility drawn at any time plus accrued interest and fees is callable on demand in the event of certain specified events of default.
