(1) Leasing revenue includes ancillary services.

Consolidated revenue for Q1 2016 was up by 28.5% at €87.7 million when compared to €68.2 million for the 1st quarter of 2015 (+27.4% in currency on a like-for-like basis). This increase results from the return of syndications in the Shipping Container division and a good volume of sales primarily in the Modular Buildings and Shipping Container divisions.

The leasing revenue was €53.4 million, down by 3.7% (-4.4% on a constant currency) due to a decrease of Shipping Container activity which was not compensated by the other three activities.

The equipment sales revenue is up sharply at 167.6%, due to both the return of containers syndications to investors at the beginning of the year and the sustained dynamic of sales of containers and modules to our clients (+91.7%). Sales revenue stands at €34.3 million.

Group EBITDA for Q1 2016 improved to €11.3 million compared to €5.4 million in the 1st quarter of 2015, and the operating income was positive at €2.5 million compared to €-5.4 million for Q1 2015 (based on unaudited accounts).

(1) Le chiffre d'affaires locatif inclut les prestations de services annexes.

SHIPPING CONTAINERS: Revenue for the division increased by 34% to €43.3 million compared to €32.2 million in Q1 2015 (+31.6% at constant dollars). This increase is explained by the strength of container sales to clients as well as the completion of syndications. TOUAX completed a sale and leaseback operation in Q1 2016, which was larger than the syndications completed during the full year 2015, of which only the commission is recorded as revenue. Leasing operations were down slightly at €23.8 million because of a deflationary market. We have however observed since March 2016 a recent increase of steel and the purchase price of containers in China, which will have a positive effect on leasing rates.

MODULAR BUILDINGS: The revenue of the Modular Buildings division increased by 27.6% to €31.2 million compared to Q1 2015. Leasing revenue is stable to €17.5 million. Equipment sales were sustained, confirming the recovery in business activities, and improved by 99% to reach €13.8 million.

RIVER BARGES: Revenue for the River Barges division was €4 million, slightly up. Leasing activities were affected by a decline in business on the Rhine basin, and TOUAX sold a push boat in the 1st quarter.

FREIGHT RAILCARS: Revenue for the Freight Railcars division improved by 18.3% at €9.3 million. This increase can be primarily explained by the acquisition of the management of a fleet of railcars in the last quarter of 2015.

OUTLOOK

We forecast a positive operating income for the year 2016.

The Group will continue to apply a cash flow growth strategy with stabilisation of its assets, an increase of management assets on behalf of third parties, and the improvement of utilisation rates.

No dividends shall be proposed to the General Meeting on the 9 June 2016. The Managing Partners will propose a dividend at a General Meeting in view of the improvement of the financial statements which will be confirmed upon releasing of the half-year accounts at the end of August 2016.
