Triton International Limited’s second-quarter 2019 earnings per share (excluding 3 cents from non-recurring items) of $1.15 outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5 cents and also improved 4.6% year over year. Results were aided by the company’s strong operating performance.
Quarterly revenues totaled $338.6 million, which lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $354.8 million. However, the top line improved 2.7% year over year primarily owing to more than 100% increase in revenues from finance leases.
