Triton International Q1 Earnings Miss
Triton International’s first-quarter 2020 earnings (excluding 1 cents from non-recurring items) of 93 cents per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.03. The bottom line also declined 21.85% year over year. Results were hurt by low demand for new containers due to drop in exports from China due to the coronavirus pandemic. Further, quarterly revenues of $321.5 million declined 6.7% year over year due to 5.3% fall in revenues from operating leases.
Equipment trading revenues of $15.38 million plunged 13.7% from the year-ago quarter’s figure. Trading margin came in at $1.93 million compared with $3.58 million in the prior-year quarter.
The company generated a return on equity of 13.1% in the reported quarter compared with 17.2% in the year-ago quarter. Total operating expenses inched up to $179.4 million.
