TRADING STATEMENT

Despite improving conditions in the container leasing market, a much stronger financial
performance and a return to positive headline earnings per share, Trencor will still be
reporting losses for the year ended 31 December 2017 as Trencor is required under IFRS
to further impair the container fleets owned by Textainer and TAC. No such impairments
were required by those companies reporting under US GAAP. These non-cash
impairments are the result of future cash flows associated with the container fleets being
discounted at a higher weighted average cost of capital than the rate used at 31 December
2016.

Shareholders are advised that Trencor’s headline earnings per share and loss per share for
the year ended 31 December 2017 are expected to be within the ranges set out below:
                                                                                    2016
                                                         2017 Expected            Actual
