1 Based on a comparable structure and average exchange rates at 30 September 2020.
This new presentation has no impact on EBITDA, operating income or net income. The accounting presentation of revenue is presented in the appendix to the press release.
Group owned activities grew by €4.3 million, with an increase in leasing revenue and ancillary services (+€3.7 million in the first nine months).
Sales of equipment in the Modular Buildings activity offset the dip in sales of owned equipment in other asset classes. Limited second-hand assets (containers, barges and railcars) available for sale given the high utilisation rates and strong leasing demand.
For the same reasons, the management activity contracted by €2.2 million owing to a €2.7 million decrease in sales fees on used equipment belonging to investors in the Containers activity.

(a) The "Leasing revenue from investor-owned equipment" line is replaced by "Management fees".
The Freight Railcars activity posted a slight increase, totalling €36.3 million in the first nine months:
The River Barges business increased its revenue by €0.4 million, buoyed by owned-asset leasing revenue, which has benefited from an average utilisation rate of 99.2% since the start of 2021.
The Containers activity fell by €2 million owing to the decline in second-hand sales (with no impact on overall profitability, which increased relative to 2020).
Leasing activity performance remained strong (+€1.6 million), fuelled by ancillary services (one-way leasing) relating to new-container trading. The average utilisation rate over the period was 99.7%, reflecting the shortage of containers, but the volume of used containers for sale was very low. As a result, sales of owned equipment decreased by €1.6 million and sales fees on investor equipment by €2.7 million. Syndication fees contributed €1 million to the division's revenue from activities.
The Modular Buildings activity in Africa, presented in the "Other" line, grew by €3.2 million, with more deliveries since the start of 2021.
Touax is pursuing its strategy of investment in equipment owned and managed across all its business lines. The outlook is positive and restated revenue from activities and profitability are expected to gradually rise.
Our three long-term leasing businesses provide for sustainable, environmentally friendly transportation and continue to show resilience and promise.
From a structural and medium to long-term perspective, the growth of e-commerce, which increases demand for logistics, environmental policies such as Europe's Green Deal, the various government stimulus packages in the infrastructure sector and increased outsourcing, which encourages leasing, and should continue to underpin investment in our three asset classes.
