CAI management estimate
Alphaliner January 2014
Container returns challenging
Anticipate that rail investments will offer more attractive returns
Expect overall investment level to be less than past few years
Accelerating volume of used equipment sales – reduces storage cost
Aggressive repositioning of assets to best sale/re-lease markets
Reduce rates on $250 million of term loans and on rail revolver
Maximize shareholder value
  1.5 million share re-purchase plan in place
