PRESS RELEASE        Paris, 14 May 2021 – 5.45 p.m.

YOUR OPERATIONAL LEASING SOLUTION FOR SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION

Q1 2021 restated revenues from activities

  • Restated revenues from activities amounted to €24.6m in Q1 2021, stable in constant dollars compared to the same period in 2020.
  • Favourable outlook with a significant order book

New segmentation of revenues between owned activities and management activities.

In order to enable a more detailed and more accurate reading of its activities, the Group decided to update the key indicators of its quarterly report:

  • Revenues from activities are restated in order to present owned activities separately from management activities.
  • For management activities, leasing revenue from investor-owned equipment is replaced by management fees, which correspond to the net contribution of the leasing management activity to the Group's performance.

This presentation shows syndication fees, sales fees and now management fees, grouped together under management activity, separate from owned activity.

The accounting presentation of revenue from activities and the contribution by division is presented in the appendix to the press release.

(a) The “leasing revenue from investor-owned equipment” is replaced by “management fees”.

The total restated revenues from activities in Q1 2021 amounted to €24.6 million, €25.4 million at constant scope and currency1, compared to €25.7 million at the same period in 2020.

Owned activities increased by €0.7 million, with an increase in the sales of owned equipment, particularly in modular buildings, offset by a decline in leasing activity, particularly in river barge freight activity.

Management activity decreased by €1.8 million, with a decline in sales volumes of investor-owned equipment, due to the seasonality of these sales and the shortage of containers.

Total Restated Revenue from activities24,56425,654-1,090-4.2%

(a) The “leasing revenue from investor-owned equipment” is replaced by “management fees”.

The Freight Railcar activity fell slightly with lower sales but an increase in leasing activity:

  • Owned activity decreased with the decline in sales of owned equipment, partially offset by the increase in owned leasing activity.
  • Management activity declined with the lack of syndication in Q1 2021 while management fees increased following the syndications in 2020.

The River Barge activity decreased given the ancillary services that posted lower freight revenues over the period, but the average utilisation rate increased to 99.2%.

The Containers activity declined, with a conversion impact linked to the fall in the dollar and temporarily lower equipment sales. The average utilisation rate over the period was 99.6% vs. 95.7% in the first three months of 2020 reflecting the shortage of containers, resulting in lower availability of containers for sale. Management fees decreased with the fall in the dollar but also due to a lower volume of containers under management following the disposal of investor-owned equipment in 2020.

The Modular Buildings activity in Africa, which is presented under “Miscellaneous”, increased with major deliveries made during Q1 2021.

OUTLOOK

The effects of the health crisis remained limited in Q1 2021. The shortage of containers and its limited production resulted in a lower level of sales.

Touax is pursuing its strategy of investing in owned equipment and equipment under management in all its businesses with a significant order book in the process of delivery for more than €100 million.

Its three long-term equipment leasing businesses for sustainable transportation that respect the environment continue to be resilient and promising.

The outlook is favourable with an expected gradual increase in the restated revenue from activities. From a structural and medium to long-term perspective, Europe's “Green Deal” together with the various stimulus packages in the infrastructure sector announced by governments and the tendency towards outsourcing should continue to underpin investment in our asset classes.
