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. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all normal, recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, and the Company’s cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019.2020. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the current presentation. 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 20202021 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, 2019,2020, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 5, 2020.1, 2021.

Due to market conditions,Discontinued Operations

On August 14, 2020, the Company decided duringsold substantially all of the three months ended March 31,assets and liabilities of its logistics business to NFI, a North American logistics provider, for cash proceeds of $6.2 million. On December 29, 2020, the Company sold its remaining railcar fleet to terminate the sale processaffiliates of Infinity Transportation for its rail business.cash proceeds of $228.1 million.

All prior periods presented in the unauditedthese consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the reclassification.classification of the logistics and rail leasing businesses as discontinued operations. See Note 32Rental EquipmentDiscontinued Operations for further information over the reclassification of the railcar assets as held for use.more information.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company’s equipment leases and trade receivables subject it to potential credit risk. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and credit history. Evaluations of the financial condition and associated credit risk of customers are performed an on ongoing basis. The Company’s largest customer and second largest customer accounted for 13%18% and 10%, respectively, of the Company’s total billings during the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021.

Accounting Policy Updates

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (ASU 2016-13) and subsequently issued amendments. The guidance affects the Company’s net investment in finance leases, financing receivable and accounts receivable for sales of rental equipment and logistics operations. Topic 326 requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective method, which did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements as credit losses are not expected to be significant based on historical loss trends, the financial condition of customers, and external market factors. 

Allowance for credit losses – Net investment in finance leases and financing receivable

The allowance for credit losses on net investment in finance leases and financing receivable is estimated on a collective basis by internal customer rating (see Note 4 – Net investment in finance leases for descriptions of ratings). Expected credit losses for these financial assets are estimated using a loss-rate methodology which considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

CAI INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The Company recognized an impairment charge of $19.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 to reduce the book value of its railcar portfolio, on an individual basis, to its estimated fair value, or to its net book value had the assets not been classified as held for sale. To assist in the Company’s assessment of fair value, a third-party appraisal was carried out on the railcar fleet using a combination of cost and market approaches. The cost approach utilized the current replacement cost for a particular car type and calculated an estimated depreciation based on a railcar having a 40-year life and residual value being 10% of the estimated purchase price. The market approach estimated value based on recent market transactions involving similar railcars. The railcars were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables summarize the components of net income (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands). Revenue and operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were a result of immaterial differences in the actual transactions from the amounts accrued prior to the sale of the logistics and railcar businesses in 2020.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(3) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

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 FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation:

·

it has power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and

·

it has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

it has power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and

it has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

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 FASB ASC Topic 810, Consolidation.

The Company currently enters into two2 types of container fund arrangements with investors which are reviewed under FASB 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. All of the funds under financing arrangements are Japanese container funds that were established under separate investment agreements allowed under Japanese commercial laws. 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 the arrangements include only terms and conditions that are customarily present in arrangements for similar services. As such, the Company does not have a variable interest in the managed containers funds, and does not consolidate those funds. NoNaN container portfolios were sold to the funds during the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019.  2020.

Collateralized Financing Obligations

The Company has transferred containers 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. 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 FASB 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 March 31, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, and the results of the VIEs’ operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The containers that were transferred to the Japanese investor funds had a net book value of $103.4$75.4 million as of March 31, 2020.2021. The container equipment, together with $21.0$23.9 million of cash held by the investor funds that can only be used to settle the liabilities of the VIEs, has been included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets with the related liability presented in the debt section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as collateralized financing obligations of $82.2$61.6 million and term loans held by VIE of $35.2$29.9 million. NoNaN gain or loss was recognized by the Company on the initial consolidation of the VIEs. NoNaN containers were sold to the Japanese investor during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Containers sold to the Japanese investor funds during the three months ended March 31, 2019 had a net book value of $65.0 million.2021 and 2020.

Impairment of railcar assets

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, an impairment charge of $19.2 million was recognized to reduce the book value of the railcar portfolio, on an individual basis, to the lower of its net book value had the assets not been classified as held for sale, or its estimated fair value at the date when the decision was made not to sell the assets of the railcar business. To assist in the Company’s assessment of fair value, a third-party appraisal was carried out on the railcar fleet using a combination of cost and market approaches.  The cost approach utilizes the current replacement cost for a particular car type and calculates an estimated depreciation based on a railcar having a 40-year life and residual value being 10% of the estimated purchase price. The market approach estimates value based on recent market transactions involving similar railcars. The railcars were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Financing receivable

During 2019, theThe Company has purchased containers and leased back the containers to the seller-lessees through finance leaseback arrangements. As control of the equipment was retained by the customers, the Company concluded that sale-leaseback accounting was not applicable and treated the arrangements as financing transactions. The Company recorded a financing receivable in the amount paid for the containers. Payments made by the seller-lessee are recorded as a reduction to the financing receivable and as interest income, calculated using the effective interest method.

Credit quality information

In order to estimate the allowance for losses contained in net investment in finance leases and financing receivable, the Company reviews the credit worthiness of its customers on an ongoing basis. The review includes monitoring credit quality indicators, historical credit loss activity, current market and economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

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.

(8) Income Taxes

The consolidated income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, was determined based upon estimates of the Company’s consolidated annual effective income tax rate for the years ending December 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. The difference between the consolidated annual effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate is primarily attributable to foreign income taxes, state income taxes and the effect of certain permanent differences.

The Company’s estimated effective tax rate before discrete items was 9.1%7.1% at March 31, 2020,2021, compared to an effective tax rate of 8.2%8.6% at March 31, 2019. Discrete items during the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily related to the impairment of railcar assets (Note 3) charge of $19.2 million, which resulted in a tax benefit of $4.5 million. 2020.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions based on an evaluation as to whether it is more likely than not that a position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. This evaluation is based on all available evidence and assumes that the appropriate tax authorities have full knowledge of all relevant information concerning the tax position. Once it has been determined that a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained on its technical merits, the tax benefit recognized is based on the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.3 million, which if recognized, would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate. Total accrued interest relating to unrecognized tax benefits was $0.1 million as of March 31, 2020. The Company does not believe the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2020 will change for the remainder of 2020.

(9) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses the following fair value hierarchy when selecting inputs for its valuation techniques, with highest priority given to Level 1:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Geographic Data

The Company earns its revenue primarily from intermodal containers, which are deployed by its customers in a wide variety of global trade routes. Virtually all of the Company’s containers are used internationally and typically no container is domiciled in one particular place for a prolonged period of time. As such, substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets are considered to be international, with no single country of use.

(14) Earnings Per Share

Basic net income (loss) income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. However, potential common equivalent shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2020.1, 2021.  In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. The financial information included in this discussion and in our consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of our consolidated financial position, operating results, changes in equity and cash flows in the future. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included earlier in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “CAI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to CAI International, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Overview

We are one of the world’s leading transportation finance and logistics companies. We purchaselease equipment, primarily intermodal shipping containers, and railcars, which we lease to our customers. We also manage equipment for third-party investors. In operating our fleet, we lease, re-lease and dispose of equipment and contract for the repair, repositioning and storage of equipment. We also provide domestic and international logistics services.

The following tables show the composition of our fleet as of March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, and our average utilization for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019:2020:

The intermodal marine container industry-standard measurement unit is the 20-foot equivalent unit (TEU), which compares the size of a container to a standard 20-foot container. For example, a 20-foot container is equivalent to one TEU and a 40-foot container is equivalent to two TEUs. Containers can also be measured in cost equivalent units (CEUs), whereby the cost of each type of container is expressed as a ratio relative to the cost 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.

Utilization of containers is computed by dividing the average total units on lease during the period in CEUs, by the average total CEUs in our container fleet during the period. Utilization of railcars is computed by dividing the average number of railcars on lease during the period by the average total number of railcars in our fleet during the period. In both cases, theThe total fleet excludes new units not yet leased and off-hire units designated for sale. If new units not yet leased are included in the total fleet, utilization would be 95.8% for both the total and owned container fleet, and 82.1% for the railcar fleet, for the three months ended March 31, 2020.  

COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a globalThe COVID-19 pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United Stateshave a meaningful impact on global trade and around the world. There are many uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, including the anticipated duration of theour business. The pandemic and the extent of localrelated work, travel, and worldwide social political, and economic disruption it may cause.

In late January 2020, China implemented extensive work restrictions to control the outbreak, which led to a steep dropresulted in exports from China. Work restrictions in China started to ease in March 2020, and export volumes from China have continued to increase since that time. However, the spread of COVID-19 to other parts of the world and the strong actions taken by many countries to reduce exposures have led to a sharp decrease in global economic and trade activity during the beginningfirst half of 2020, resulting in weak container leasing demand. However, we have seen a significant increase in leasing demand since the second quarterhalf of 2020, which we expect to continue during 2020.  While the COVID-19 pandemicthrough 2021. However, it is too early to tell whether this rebound in demand will be sustained into 2022 and the related global economic effects have not materially impacted our business, operations, or financial results to date, we do expectbeyond.

We were initially concerned that the global economic impact will result in a decline in overall incremental demand for our services over the remainder of the year and elevates the risk of delayed payment or default by our customers. Moreover, it may have far-reaching impacts on many aspects of our operations, both directly through our ability to obtain cost effective financing and maintain equipment utilization, and indirectly through its impact on customers, equipment manufacturers, shippers, carriers, our employees, and the market generally, and the scope, severity and nature of these impacts continue to evolve. 

Distress in the global economy, including trade volumes and a slowdownsharp decrease in global demand, could generally lead to lower per diem lease rates for our container and rail equipment, the overall value of our equipment, or our ability to continue to sell used containers. In addition, adverse effects on the economy as a whole could potentially reduce demand for our leased equipment and logistics services, and a prolonged slowdownvolumes early in trade volumes due to the pandemic could also significantly2020 would increase the financial challenges facing our customers which mayand lead to delaysincreased credit risk. While we are not yet through the pandemic, container freight rates and the financial performance of our customers have generally held up better than anticipated, with freight rates reaching record levels. As the impact of the pandemic grew, all the major shipping lines have taken aggressive actions to reduce their deployed vessel capacity, decreasing their network expenses and mitigating rate pressure from reduced freight volumes. The large decrease in payments of leases, defaults on obligations owedbunker fuel prices has also been very helpful to us,their financial performance. We continue to closely monitor our customers’ payment performance and overallexpect the potential for elevated credit risk as along as economic and trade disruptions persist.

Worldwide financial markets have recently experienced periods of extraordinary disruption and volatility, which has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Any sustained disruption in the capital markets from the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our ability to raise capital to fund additional container purchases or service our outstanding debt. We have implemented remote work arrangements and have restricted business travel effective mid-March 2020, and to date, these arrangements have not materially affected our ability to maintain our business operations, including the operation of financial reporting systems, internal control over financial reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures.

The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts our business and operations will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. For additional information regarding the risk and uncertainties that we could encounter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related global conditions, see “The“Business Risk – The continued spread of the COVID-19 pandemic may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations” in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Reportsour Annual Report on Form 10-Q.

The increase in logistics revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily due to an increase in volume, partially offset by a decrease in rates in our intermodal and truck brokerage operations.  The gross margin percentage fell from 11.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to 10.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, due primarily to lower margins being achieved in our intermodal and truck brokerage operations.

Net interest expense

The decrease in net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 20192020 was due primarily to a slight decrease in our average loan principal balance between the two periods, as we decreased acquisition activity for rental equipment, as well as a decrease in the average interest rate on our outstanding debt from approximately 3.9% as of March 31, 2019 to 3.3% as of March 31, 2020 to 2.1% as of March 31, 2021, caused primarily by a decrease in LIBOR.LIBOR, as well as a decrease in our average loan principal balance between the two periods, mainly due to the paydown of debt with proceeds from the sale of our railcar portfolio in 2020.

As of March 31, 2020,2021, we had $536.8$388.7 million in availability under our revolving credit facilities (net of $0.1 million in letters of credit), subject to our ability to meet the collateral requirements under the agreements governing the facilities. Based on the borrowing base and collateral requirements at March 31, 2020,2021, the borrowing availability under our revolving credit facilities was $41.0$248.8 million, assuming no additional contributions of assets.

To provide additional liquidity and enhance our financial flexibilityAs of March 31, 2021, we had a total of $1,431.3 million of debt in response to recent global economic uncertainty and financial market volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we drew down $70 million from our revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure in March 2020.

On April 27, we repaid in full two asset-backed credit facilities with fixed interest rates or floating interest rates that have been synthetically fixed through interest rate swap agreements, which provided additional liquidityaccounts for 78% of approximately $40 million, increasing our total available liquidity to approximately $155 million.outstanding debt.

For further information on our debt instruments, see Note 96 to the consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 107 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2020.1, 2021.

We continue to monitor the COVID-19 outbreakpandemic and its impact on our overall liquidity position and outlook. The ultimate impact that COVID-19 may have on our operational and financial performance over the next 12 months is currently uncertain and will depend on certain developments, including, among others, the impact of COVID-19 on our customers, and the magnitude and duration of the pandemic.pandemic, and the rollout and efficacy of vaccines. Assuming that our customers continue to meet their contractual commitments, we currently believe that cash provided by operating activities and existing cash, proceeds from the sale of rental equipment, and borrowing availability under our debt facilities are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.

Our estimate of interest expense commitment includes $64.2 million relating to our revolving credit facilities, $21.0 million relating to our term loans, $5.3 million relating to our senior secured notes, $129.2 million relating to our asset-back notes, $6.5 million relating to our collateralized financing obligations, and $4.8 million relating to our term loans held by VIE. The calculation of interest commitment related to our debt assumes the following weighted-average interest rates as of March 31, 2020: revolving credit facilities, 2.4%; term loans, 3.7%; senior secured notes, 4.9%; asset-backed notes, 4.0%; collateralized financing obligations, 1.6%; and term loans held by VIE, 4.2%. These calculations assume that weighted-average interest rates will remain at the same level over the next five years. We expect that interest rates will vary over time based upon fluctuations in the underlying indexes upon which these rates are based, including the potential discontinuation of LIBOR after 2021.

(1)Our estimate of interest expense commitment includes $10.2 million relating to our revolving credit facilities subject to variable interest rates, $17.2 million relating to our revolving credit facilities subject to fixed interest rates, $10.7 million relating to our term loans, $3.0 million relating to our senior secured notes, $77.9 million relating to our asset-back notes, $6.1 million relating to our collateralized financing obligations, and $3.4 million relating to our term loans held by VIE. The calculation of interest commitment related to our debt assumes the following weighted-average interest rates as of March 31, 2021: variable-rate revolving credit facilities, 1.4%; fixed-rate revolving credit facilities, 1.5%; term loans, 3.2%; senior secured notes, 4.9%; asset-backed notes, 2.3%; collateralized financing obligations, 1.8%; and term loans held by VIE, 4.2%.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2020,2021, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, change in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021. See Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2020.1, 2021.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The mostIn March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04 (ASU 2020-04), which adds ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to ease financial reporting burdens related to applying current GAAP to modifications of contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions in connection with the transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions apply to modifications of derivative contracts and certain hedging relationships affected by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows, computing variation margin settlements, and for calculating price alignment interest. ASU 2020-04 is effective beginning on March 12, 2020 and may be applied prospectively to such transactions through December 31, 2022 and ASU 2021-01 is effective beginning on January 7, 2021 and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively to such transactions through December 31, 2022. We will apply ASU 2020-04 and 2021-01 prospectively as and when we enter into transactions to which these updates apply.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk represents the risk of changes in value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. Changes in these factors could cause fluctuations in our results of operations and cash flows. We are exposed to the market risks described below.

COVID-19 outbreak. The effects of the infectious disease, COVID-19, are rapidly evolving globally and are uncertain. Our business could be adversely affected by this outbreak. Any prolonged restrictive measures in order to control the spread of COVID-19 or other adverse public health developments around the globe may have a material and adverse effect on the demand for our rental equipment, credit risk of our customers, logistics services, operations and financial condition.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Although we have significant foreign-based operations, the U.S. Dollar is our primary operating currency. Thus, most of our revenue and expenses are denominated in U.S. Dollars. We have equipment sales in British Pound Sterling, Euros and Japanese Yen and incur overhead costs in foreign currencies, primarily in British Pound Sterling and Euros. During the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, the U.S. Dollar increased in value in relation to other major foreign currencies (such as the Euro and British Pound Sterling)Euro). The increase in the relative value of the U.S. Dollar has decreased our revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies. The associated decrease in the value of certain foreign currencies as compared to the U.S. Dollar has also caused assets held at some of our foreign subsidiaries to decrease in value when translated to US dollars. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, weWe recognized a loss on foreign exchange of $0.2 million.$0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. A 10% change in foreign exchange rates would not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Interest Rate Risk. The nature of our business exposes us to market risk arising from changes in interest rates to which our variable-rate debt is linked. In July 2020, we entered into a five-year interest rate swap agreement to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates on $500.0 million of variable-rate borrowings. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, we receive from the counterparty interest on the notional amount based on one-month LIBOR and pay to the counterparty a fixed rate of 0.29%. Any changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified to net interest expense as they are realized.

As of March 31, 2020, the principal amount of debt outstanding under the variable-rate arrangements2021, approximately 78% of our revolving credit facilities was $840.6 million. In addition, at March 31, 2020, we had balances on our variable-rate term loans of $100.6 million. As of March 31, 2020, our total outstanding variable-rate debt was $941.2 million,either fixed or hedged using derivative instruments, which represented 44%helps mitigate any negative impact of our total debt at that date. The averagechanges in short-term interest rate on our variable-rate debt was 2.4% as of March 31, 2020, based on LIBOR plusrates. However, a margin based on certain conditions set forth in our debt agreements.

A 1.0% increase or decrease in underlyingthe interest rates for theseon our unhedged debt obligations would result in an increase or decrease of approximately $4.1 million in interest expense by approximately $9.4 million annually assuming debt remains constant at March 31, 2020 levels.

While we actively manage our interest exposure by adjustingover the ratio of floating and fixed-rate debt, we do not currently participate in hedging in the form of interest rate swaps or other derivative instruments to manage the market risks described above.next 12 months.

Remediation and

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have taken actions to improve our internal control over financial reporting, including implementing plans as identified in Item 9A of our 2019 Form 10-K, to address our material weakness. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that remediation of this material weakness will be completed in 2020.

Except as noted above, thereThere has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2020,2021, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The continued spread of the COVID-19 pandemic may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant impact to businesses and supply chains globally. The imposition of work and travel restrictions, as well as other actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak, have led to extended shutdowns of certain businesses, lower factory production, reduced volumes of global imports and exports and disruptions both of global and domestic transportation.  The supply chain disruptions and government actions to counter the pandemic further exacerbated financial challenges faced by our shipping line and other customers. Additionally, the economic uncertainty created by the pandemic is affecting demand in several manufacturing sectors and is expected to result in a slowdown in the global economy, the extend or duration of which are uncertain. Further, in response to the pandemic, many businesses, including ourselves, have implemented remote working arrangements for their employees during the first quarter of 2020 that may continue, in whole or in part, for an extended period. Risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic on our business include, but are not limited to:

·

increased credit concerns relating to our shipping lines, rail shippers and logistics customers as they face reduced demand, operational disruptions and increased costs relating to the pandemic, including the risk of bankruptcy or significant payments defaults or delays;

·

further reduced demand for rental equipment and increased pressure on lease rates;

·

reduced demand for sale of rental equipment;

·

reduced demand for logistics services, both internationally and domestically;

·

disruption to carriers impacting our ability to provide logistics services to our customers;

·

operational issues that could prevent our rental equipment from being discharged or picked up in affected areas or in other locations after having visited affected areas for a prolonged period of time;

·

business community risks associated with the transition to remote working arrangements, including increased cybersecurity risks, internet capacity constraints or other systems problems, and unanticipated difficulties or delays in our financial reporting processes;

·

liquidity risks, including that disruptions in financial markets as a result of the pandemic may increase the cost and availability of capital, and the risk of non-compliance with financial covenants in debt agreements;

·

potential impacts on key management, including health impacts and distractions caused by the pandemic response; and

·

potential impacts on business relationships due to restrictions on travel.

The magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of any impact on our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity, which could be material, cannot be reasonably determined at this time due to the rapid development and fluidity of the situation. The effects of the pandemic on our business will depend on its duration and severity, whether business disruptions will continue and the overall impact on the global economy.
