US GAAP RESULTS
-  Net loss for the half year was US$16,3 million (2016: loss US$4,9 million). Textainer recorded

   held for sale and a write-down of its inventory of containers pending disposal.
-  There was no impairment to the leased container fleet for the six months ended 30 June 2017
   (2016: nil).
-  Average fleet utilisation for the six months to 30 June 2017 was 95,7% (2016: 94,6%).
-  During the second quarter, Textainer raised US$920 million to pay down debt and bank
   facilities, enabling it to free up liquidity and acquire new containers.
-  Total fleet under management at 30 June 2017 was 2 992 040 (2016: 3 195 378) twenty foot
   equivalent units ("TEU") of which Textainer itself owned 81,3% (2016: 81,0%).
-  Textainer did not declare any dividends in respect of quarters 1 and 2 of 2017 (2016: US$0,27).
-  Textainer's results may be viewed on its website www.textainer.com.

THE FOLLOWING SALIENT MATTERS OCCURRED SUBSEQUENT TO 30 JUNE 2017
-  Integrated and assumed the management of the approximately 182  000 TEU fleet of
   standard dry freight and refrigerated containers from Magellan Maritime Services GmbH.
-  Closed refinancing to extend the term and lower the interest rate on US$1,2  billion
   warehouse facility used to acquire intermodal containers.
-  Fleet utilisation was 96,6% at 8 August 2017, the date of Textainer's second quarter

REPORTING RESULTS OF TEXTAINER AND TAC UNDER IFRS
The results of Textainer and TAC, reporting under US GAAP, are converted to IFRS for
inclusion in the results of Trencor, which reports under IFRS.

Despite strong improvements in container leasing market conditions in the six months
ended 30 June 2017, as reflected in the continued improved results reported by Textainer,
the differences in accounting treatment between US GAAP and IFRS require that Trencor
further impairs the container fleets owned by Textainer and TAC in this reporting period.
The main reason for these additional impairments by Trencor is the increased Textainer
weighted average cost of capital ("WACC") rate used to discount future cash flows as
required under IFRS.

Key factors impacting this determination are Textainer's costs of debt and cost of equity.

Textainer's overall debt has remained relatively stable over the period and the cost of
debt has increased marginally. The main factor impacting the higher WACC rate used
by Trencor in discounting has been the performance of the Textainer share relative to the
market, resulting in a higher beta risk factor for Textainer. This, coupled with the almost
doubling in the Textainer market capitalisation since 31 December 2016 and hence the
larger equity weighting in the debt equity mix, has caused the increased WACC.

Adjusted to conform to IFRS, Trencor's consolidation of the results of Textainer requires that
a loss of US$117,1 million be recorded for the half year (2016: loss of US$289,2 million).
This included a non-cash impairment loss on the leased container fleet as required under
IFRS of US$87,5 million (2016: US$223,3 million). No such impairment was necessary
under US GAAP at either 30 June 2017 or 30 June 2016. Furthermore, Trencor recorded
an additional depreciation charge required under IFRS for the six months to 30 June 2017
over and above the amount provided by Textainer under US GAAP of US$21,0 million
(2016: US$42,5 million).

Adjusted to conform to IFRS, Trencor's consolidation of the results of TAC requires that
a loss of US$6,0 million be recorded for the half year (2016: US$21,7 million loss). This
included a non-cash impairment loss on the leased container fleet as required under IFRS
of US$5,2 million (2016:US$19,2 million). Trencor recorded an additional depreciation
charge required under IFRS for the six months 30 June 2017 over and above the amount
provided under US GAAP of US$1,0 million (2016: US$1,1 million).

PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by management under the supervision of the financial director, Ric Sieni (CA)SA, and have not
been audited or reviewed by Trencor's external auditors. The directors take full responsibility for
the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

DECLARATION OF CASH DIVIDEND
At the annual general meeting on 10 August 2017 the chairman made reference to complex
and time-consuming processes underway towards the commercial objectives of unlocking
value for shareholders and finding solutions to the issues relating to the US GAAP/IFRS
conversion referred to above. Pending certainty on the final outcome of these
processes, the board deems it appropriate to declare an interim dividend for 2017 in the same
amount as the final dividend for 2016.

Thus the board has declared an interim gross cash dividend (number 104) of 50 cents per share
out of distributable reserves in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2017.

The salient dates pertaining to the dividend payment are as follows:

25 October 2017 and Friday, 27 October 2017, both days inclusive.

-  Trencor's tax reference number is 9676002711; and
-  Trencor's issued share capital at the declaration date is R885 340 (177 068 011 ordinary

    As a result of the reversal of the impairment provided on containers on operating leases with
    defaulting customers the compensation receivable from third party has been reduced by
    R87 million.

    A net impairment has been recognised at 30 June 2017, reducing the carrying value of container
    leasing equipment to its recoverable amount. For the purposes of calculating the impairment
    loss, the container fleets were grouped by ownership entity and then by cash-generating
    units ("CGUs"). CGUs were defined as containers grouped by container type, as cash flows
    for the same type of containers are independent of cash flows of different container types,
    and are interchangeable with any other container of the same type within the container fleet.
    The recoverable amount of a CGU has been calculated based on its value in use. The pre-tax
    discount rates used to discount the future estimated cash flows were 5,8% (June 2016: 5,0% and
    December 2016: 4,3%) and 6,2% (June 2016: 6,8% and December 2016: 5,1%) for Textainer
    and TAC, respectively. Projected future cash flows were estimated using the assumptions that
    are part of the long-term planning forecasts of the entities concerned.

    Some of the significant estimates and assumptions used to determine future estimated cash
    flows were: estimated future lease rates, estimated utilisation, remaining useful lives, remaining
    on-hire periods for expired fixed-term leases, estimated future lease rates, direct container
    expenses and estimated disposal prices of containers. In performing the impairment analysis,
    assumptions used reflected the contractually stipulated per diem rates, with renewal based
    on current market rates. Although the assumptions used in the projected future cash flow
    have improved as a result of strong improvements in container leasing market conditions in
    the six months ended 30 June 2017, a further impairment of the container fleets owned by
    Textainer and TAC was incurred as a result of the higher WACC rate used to discount future 
    cash flows. The factors impacting the WACC rate are detailed in the commentary above.

    The recoverable amounts and impairment amounts of the CGUs which were impaired are as
    follows:

9.   Change in estimate
     Residual values of the container fleets were reassessed at 30 June 2017. In accordance
     with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, residual values are the estimated amounts
     that the entities would currently obtain at the financial reporting date from the disposal of
     containers, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the containers were already
     of the age and in the condition expected at the end of their useful lives. The reassessment
     of residual values are accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate from
     the date of change in estimate, in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes
     in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The consequence of the reassessment of residual
     values at 30 June 2017 is an estimated reduction of R760  million in the depreciation
     charge for the remainder of the year over what it would have been had the residual values
     not been revised. This estimate presumes no material changes to the composition of
     the container fleets and no significant changes for the next six months to market factors
     prevailing at 30 June 2017. Changes in these factors will influence the depreciation that
     may be charged in future periods.

10.  Event after the reporting period
     On 6 September 2017, Textainer refinanced its R15,5 billion warehouse facility used
     to acquire intermodal containers to extend the term and lower the interest rate of the
     facility. The facility incorporates a three-year revolving period that was extended to
     August 2020. Pricing on the facility consists of a spread over the London Interbank
     Offered Rate (LIBOR). The spread was reduced from 2,25% to 1,90%.

11.  Restatement - Cash flow
     In compiling the consolidated statement of cash flows for the financial year ended 31 December 2016, interest-bearing
     borrowings raised amounting to R7 629 million were netted off against interest-bearing borrowings repaid which
     resulted in both interest-bearing borrowings raised and repaid being understated by an equal amount of R7 629 million.
     The restatement in the current period has no impact on earnings per share or headline earnings per share, and net cash
     flows of the group have remained as previously reported.

In order to provide a better appreciation of the results of the group's activities, a condensed consolidated 
income statement and a condensed consolidated statement of financial position are also presented in US dollars, 
as virtually all of the group's consolidated revenue and assets and much of its expenditure are denominated in 
that currency. The unaudited amounts stated in US dollars have been prepared by management and have been calculated 
by translating the assets and liabilities at the period-end rate of exchange, income statement items at the average 
rate of exchange with the difference allocated to the foreign currency translation reserve included in equity.
