COMMENTARY
GROUP
- Textainer Group Holdings Ltd ("Textainer") and Halco Holdings Inc ("Halco") entered into a Voting Limitation Deed
("VLD") on 1 January 2018, with Trencor assuming the rights and obligations of Halco under the VLD on the
registration of transfer to Trencor of Halco's shareholding in Textainer in May 2018. The VLD has the effect for
IFRS purposes of Trencor being regarded as neither in control of nor having significant influence over Textainer.
- Accordingly, as from 1 January 2018, the financial results of Textainer, reporting under US GAAP, are no longer
required to be converted into IFRS for inclusion in the results of Trencor. Textainer is now accounted for by
Trencor as an investment measured at fair value through profit or loss.
- The deconsolidation of Textainer at 1 January 2018 resulted in a basic earnings gain of R2,6 billion and a
recycling of the accumulated foreign currency translation gains of R3,2 billion from other comprehensive income to
profit or loss. These gains have not impacted headline earnings or cash flows.
- It follows that the results of Trencor for the year ended 31 December 2018 are not comparable with its results for
the corresponding year ended 31 December 2017.
- Between 4 October and 6 December 2018 Trencor cumulatively repurchased from shareholders 3 390 178 ordinary shares
for a consideration of R100 million.
- The year-end SA rand to US dollar exchange rate was R14,39 (2017: R12,37). The average SA rand to US dollar
exchange rate for the year was R13,11 (2017: R13,29).
- Basic earnings for the year ended 31 December 2018 amounted to 1 610 cents per share (2017: basic loss 182 cents
per share).
- Headline loss for the year ended 31 December 2018 amounted to 1 818 cents per share (2017: headline earnings 149
cents per share).
- Based on the relevant spot exchange rate and the listed share price of Textainer, the net asset value ("NAV") of
Trencor at the dates below were as follows:
26 March 2019 31 December 2018 31 December 2017
Textainer share price US$9,72 US$9,96 US$21,50

Other net (liabilities)/assets (0,06) (0,07) 2,53
Total NAV 35,33 35,87 54,37
Notes:
(1.) The values at a reporting year-end are actual values converted at the applicable exchange rate. At 26 March 2019, other than for Textainer and the cash
outside of Textainer and TAC which are recorded at actual as at 26 March 2019, all other components of the NAV are at the actual values prevailing at the end
of the previous reporting date adjusted for the current exchange rate where applicable.
(2.) On 19 February 2018, TAC issued one million ordinary shares to Halco in exchange for the settlement of all outstanding Halco loans of US$36,8 million. This is
the main reason for the significant increase in the NAV of TAC at 31 December 2018 when compared to 31 December 2017. An identical reduction in Other net
(liabilities)/assets has been recorded.
TEXTAINER (NYSE: TGH): 47,52% interest at 31 December 2018 (2017: beneficiary interest 47,78%)

- New container investments of approximately US$830 million received into the owned and managed fleet during the
year.
- Total fleet under management at 31 December 2018 was 3 354 724 (2017: 3 279 892) twenty foot equivalent units

US GAAP RESULTS
- Net income attributable to Trencor for the year ended 31 December 2018 was US$0,6 million (2017: US$2,5 million).
- Net income attributable to Trencor has been derived after an impairment to the reefer container fleet of
US$3,7million (2017: nil).

- Fleet size at 31 December 2018 was 177 149 TEU (2017: 173 150 TEU).
- Acquired US$30 million (2017: US$12 million) of new containers during the year ended 31 December 2018.
CONVERTING US GAAP RESULTS OF TAC TO IFRS
The results of TAC, reporting under US GAAP, are converted to IFRS for inclusion in the results of Trencor, which is
required to report under IFRS. Differences in accounting treatment between US GAAP and IFRS, in the areas of impairment
testing and a revision of the residual values of the container fleets, cause significant differences in financial
results reported under the respective accounting conventions.
Reconciliation of TAC US GAAP results to IFRS for the year ended 31 December:
2018 2017
US$ million US$ million
US GAAP profit attributable to Trencor 0,6 2,5
Adjustments:
Non-cash IFRS net impairment loss (3,8) (3,3)

DIVIDEND CONSIDERATION
At Trencor's AGM in August 2018, the Chairman envisaged the potential unbundling of Trencor's shares in Textainer to
Trencor's shareholders, subject to Textainer inward listing on the JSE, in further simplification of Trencor's interests
following the distributions described in note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. In considering any
distribution, such as the said unbundling or a dividend, the board would have to be satisfied that post distribution
Trencor will retain adequate assets and liquidity to cover the maximum potential exposure under the indemnity referred
to in the said note 2. The board's view is that Trencor should earmark mainly its cash resources for this purpose. This
would enable the envisaged unbundling of as many as possible of its Textainer shares to Trencor's shareholders.
Accordingly, the board resolved for the time being to preserve Trencor's cash resources in lieu of paying a dividend.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 December 2018
1. The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for provisional
reports and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa. The Listings Requirements require provisional reports to be prepared in accordance with the
framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and the Financial Reporting Guides
and Financial Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are
consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements except for the adoption of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9") and
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("IFRS 15") (refer to note 12).
2. Comparability of financial years
As a consequence of the events reported below, the results in the current year are not comparable with previous
financial years.
At 31 December 2017, Trencor had a 47,8% beneficiary interest in Textainer Group Holdings Limited ("Textainer") through
Halco Holdings Inc ("Halco") under the Halco Trust ("Trust"). At Halco's request, Textainer and Halco entered into a
Voting Limitation Deed ("VLD"), on 1 January 2018, whereby Halco agreed to limit or restrict its shareholder voting
rights in Textainer, solely in respect of the appointment and/or removal of directors and then only to the extent
necessary to ensure that Trencor would be regarded for purposes of IFRS as being neither in control of nor having
significant influence over Textainer. All Halco's voting rights, save for the said limitation or restriction, were
unaffected by the VLD.
Following the entering into of the VLD, the financial results of Textainer, reporting under US GAAP, are no longer
required to be converted into IFRS for inclusion in the results of Trencor. Textainer is now accounted for by Trencor as
an investment measured at fair value through profit or loss (refer to note 3). The results of Textainer were previously
included in the segment Containers - owning, leasing, management and trading (refer to note 7).
On 20 February 2018, Trencor, as a nominated beneficiary of the Trust, received a vesting and distribution from the
Trust of the entire issued share capital of Halco. At that date, Halco was the holder of 47,8% of the shares in
Textainer and 100% of the shares in TAC Limited ("TAC"). This vesting and distribution have had no financial
consequences on the consolidated financial statements of Trencor.
Before the vesting and distribution were effected, as is customary in the Trust's jurisdiction, Trencor had to provide
an indemnity to, inter alia, the trustee of the Trust. The indemnity terminates on 31 December 2024. The maximum
exposure under such indemnity is US$62 million.
On 11 May 2018, Halco declared to its sole shareholder, Trencor, three dividends, namely 47,8% of the shares in
Textainer, 100% of the shares in TAC (these dividends constituting the entirety of Halco's shareholdings in Textainer
and TAC) and a cash amount of US$8 million. As a result, Trencor then owned 47,8% of Textainer and 100% of TAC. Trencor
assumed the same contractual rights and obligations vis-a-vis Textainer as Halco had under the VLD and Textainer
continued to be accounted for by Trencor at fair value through profit or loss. These dividends have had no financial
consequences on the consolidated financial statements of Trencor.
3. Investment
Upon entering into the VLD (refer to note 2) a gain on deconsolidation of Textainer as at 1 January 2018 was recorded.
At 31 December 2018 a fair value adjustment of the investment in Textainer was recorded. These recordals are detailed as

A net impairment loss has been recognised for the year ended 31 December 2018 (2017: impairment loss), decreasing 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 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 rate used to discount the future
estimated cash flows of TAC was 7,44% (2017: 7,66%).
Projected future cash flows were estimated using the assumptions that are part of the long-term planning forecasts for
TAC. These projected future cash flow assumptions are determined with reference to current market conditions. Some of
the significant estimates and assumptions used to determine future expected cash flows were: expected future lease
rates, expected utilisation, remaining useful lives, remaining on-hire periods for expired fixed-term leases, expected
future lease rates, direct container expenses and expected 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.
The recoverable amounts and impairment amounts of the CGUs which were impaired are as follows:

The value of the interest rate swaps is based on a discounted cash flow analysis utilising forecasted interest rate
yield curves. Reliance is placed on the valuations prepared by the banks providing the swaps.
9. Interest-bearing borrowings
At 31 December 2018, Leased Asset Pool Company Limited ("LAPCO"), a TAC subsidiary, breached the earnings before interest and tax ("EBIT") ratio as defined in
the credit agreement it entered into with the banks providing it with funding. This triggered an early amortisation event which continues until remedied or
waived by a majority of the banks. Accordingly, R512 million has been disclosed as the current portion of interest-bearing borrowings. The final maturity date
is the sixth anniversary of the date on which the early amortisation event occurs and the revolving loans convert into term loans.
LAPCO has requested a waiver of the EBIT ratio breach and is awaiting a response from the banks.
10. Restatement of the group's prior year condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
Textainer has restated its financial statement presentation of the operating results from its container management
business as a result of re-evaluating the accounting treatment of its fleet management agreements for managed fleet
containers. These agreements convey to Textainer the right to control the use of the managed fleet containers. It was
determined by Textainer that these agreements, irrespective of legal ownership, should be deemed to be leases for
accounting purposes in terms of IAS 17 Leases. This has resulted in the restatement of a prior period error.
Lease management fee income, previously presented on a net basis, has been reclassified and is now presented on a gross
basis. Further to this restatement by Textainer, and in terms of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, the group
accordingly is also required to gross up the revenue in respect of the disposal of the managed fleet containers which
was previously presented on a net basis. The result is an increase in deemed lease rental income and sales income and a
corresponding increase in separately reported distribution expenses to managed fleet owners, with no effect on the
group's consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of cash flows, loss for the year in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, basic loss per share and headline earnings per
share.
The impact of the required restatement of the financial statement presentation in the group's consolidated statement of
profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the prior year ended 31 December 2017 is as follows:
R million Amount previously reported Change Restated amount
Revenue 8 344 1 281 9 625
Distributions to managed fleet owners - (1 281) (1 281)
Other income and expenses (8 954) - (8 954)
Loss for the year (610) - (610)
Total comprehensive loss for the year (1 849) - (1 849)
Total comprehensive loss for the year attributable to:
Equity holders of the company (983) - (983)
Non-controlling interests (866) - (866)
(1 849) - (1 849)
Loss for the year attributable to:
Equity holders of the company (321) - (321)
Non-controlling interests (289) - (289)
(610) - (610)
Basic loss per share (cents) (181,5) - (181,5)
Diluted loss per share (cents) (181,5) - (181,5)
Headline earnings per share (cents) 149,4 - 149,4
Diluted headline earnings per share (cents) 149,4 - 149,4
The restatement has no impact on the 2018 financial information due to the deconsolidation of Textainer.
11. Events after reporting period
The directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance arising since the end of the financial year, which will have a
material impact on the financial position as at 31 December 2018.
12. Changes in significant accounting policies
The group has initially adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments from 1
January 2018.
IFRS 15 did not have a material impact on the group as services are delivered daily or monthly (i.e. time basis) and
consequently revenue has also been recognised on this basis in terms of IAS 18. This treatment is in line with IFRS 15
requirements.
The impact of IFRS 9 on the financial statements is not material as the expected credit loss model did not result in a
significantly different provision when compared to the provision raised for the year ended 31 December 2017, this
assessment was based on the group's historical low levels of credit losses.
13. Standards and interpretations not yet effective
IFRS 16 replaces existing leases guidance, including IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains
a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases - Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal
Form of a Lease. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 introduces a
single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognises a right-of-use asset representing its
right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. There are
recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low-value items. Lessor accounting remains similar to the
current standard.
The group has completed an initial assessment of the potential impact of IFRS 16 on its consolidated financial
statements, but has not yet completed its detailed assessment. Thus far, the most significant impact identified is that
the group will recognise a new asset and liability in respect of the operating lease of Trencor's Cape Town Head Office
premises. As at 31 December 2018, the group's future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases
amounted to R4 million, on an undiscounted basis. In addition, the nature of expenses related to those leases will now
change because IFRS 16 replaces the straight-line operating lease expense with a depreciation charge for the
right-of-use asset and interest expense on the lease liability. The group has no finance leases.
