(1) Leasing revenue includes ancillary services.
Total consolidated revenues at the end of September 2016 increased by 5% to
?257.1 million euros. At constant exchange rates, revenues increased by 5.5%
with low impact from exchange rates.
Total leasing revenues fell to ?162.5 million despite an increase in the Modular
Buildings and Freight Railcars divisions. The Group's rental activity confirms a
recovery in Europe with increased utilisation rates in the Modular Buildings
business and a growth in the Freight Railcars business while worldwide Shipping
Containers and River Barges activity decreased in 2016.
Equipment sales increased by 23.4% to ?94.7 million.
Sales to customers were up by 30.6%, driven by good performance in the 4
businesses. In particular, TOUAX is developing its sales business of used
containers and new modules, and is continuing to rationalize its fleet of used
modular buildings in some supplementary countries.
Sales to investors are also growing with more than 58,000 containers (20-foot
equivalent) sold by the end of September 2016 compared to around 12,000
containers at the end of September 2015. However, this increased volume is not
recorded under revenues of which only the sales margin is recorded in commission
under IFRS standards, in certain cases.

(1) Leasing revenue includes ancillary services.
Shipping containers: Revenues in the division fell by 2.7% to ?121.1 million (-
2.5% with a constant dollar exchange rate) with a decline in leasing activity
offset by higher sales. The decrease in leasing activity is due to lower
utilisation rates during 2015. Since the beginning of 2016, the utilisation rate
has increased again to reach 91.4% on 30 July 2016. Despite higher equipment
syndications, more numerous in 2016, net sales revenue is falling due to the
accounting method that only takes into account the margin of sales when
buying/selling transactions are concurrent. Sales of used containers to
customers remain very strong with an increase of 31%.
Modular Buildings: Revenues in the division increased by 16% to ?96.1 million
(17% at constant currency exchange rates). Leasing revenues have increased by
2.4% (?55 million) in most countries where we operate with quite marked
increases in value in the main countries. There has been an increase in
utilisation rates and leasing prices. Sales of new and used equipment remain
high, confirming the recovery of the business, and increased by 41.2% to reach
?41.1 million.
River Barges: Revenues in the River Barges division stood at ?10.1 million, down
due to lower activity on the Rhine. The barge leasing activity remains steady
with an average utilisation rate of almost 92%. TOUAX has completed the
refocusing of its barge leasing business by realizing the sale of its last
pusher boat, with the Group now operating no more pusher boats or self-propelled
barges.
Freight Railcars: Revenues in the Freight Railcars division increased by 15.5 %
to ?30.2 million. This increase is mainly explained by an increase in the fleet
and strong leasing activity at the end of September 2016 compared to September
2015, with a growth of the business. In October 2016, Touax also announced the
signing of a freight railcar portfolio syndication to SICAF-SIF TOUAX Investment
SCA, sales that will be visible in the Group's annual revenues and which
confirms the strategy to grow third-party asset management related to transport
activities.
OUTLOOK
The combined effect of the global trade growth of about 3%, the recent rise in
prices of raw materials and steel, and increases in the utilisation rate since
April 2016, should benefit to the Shipping containers business.
The Modular buildings business continues its recovery with a strong performance
in Germany and Eastern Europe, the improved utilisation rates already observed
in 2015 and sales that are growing significantly.
Demand for River barges varies depending on the country, with low demand in
South America, but increasing requirements in Europe.
The Freight Railcars leasing business in Europe continues to improve gradually
enabling Touax to strengthen and develop third-party asset management.
Over the full year, the Group continued to implement its strategy to increase
its operating cash flow with a stabilisation of its own assets, a growth in its
assets under management for third parties and its improved utilisation rates,
and is therefore predicting positive free cash for the year 2016.
TOUAX confirms an operating profit for the whole of the year 2016.
