(1) Refer to the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" set forth below.
(2) Utilization is computed by dividing total units on lease in CEUs (cost equivalent unit) by the total units in our fleet in CEUs,
excluding CEUs that have been designated as held for sale and units manufactured for us but not yet delivered to a lessee.
CEU is a unit of measurement based on the approximate cost of a container relative to the cost of a standard 20-foot dry
container. These factors may differ from CEU ratios used by others in the industry.
(3) TEU refers to a twenty-foot equivalent unit, which is a unit of measurement used in the container shipping industry to
compare shipping containers of various lengths to a standard 20-foot container, thus a 20-foot container is one TEU and a
40-foot container is two TEU.
