January 23, 2014
  • 2013 earnings per diluted share a record $3.50, excluding the impact from Tax Adjustments and Other Items
  • 2014 earnings per diluted share expected to be in the range of $3.85 - $4.05
  • Dividend increase of 6.5% from the prior quarter

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 23, 2014-- GATX Corporation (NYSE:GMT) today reported 2013 fourth quarter net income of $53.3 million or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to net income of $29.7 million or $.62 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2012. The 2012 fourth quarter results include a benefit from Tax Adjustments and Other Items of $2.8 million or $.06 per diluted share.

Net income for the full-year 2013 was $169.3 million or $3.59 per diluted share, compared to net income of $137.3 million or $2.88 per diluted share in the prior year. The 2013 and 2012 results include benefits from Tax Adjustments and Other Items of $4.5 million or $.09 per diluted share and $3.5 million or $.07 per diluted share, respectively. Details related to the Tax Adjustments and Other Items are provided in the attached Supplemental Information.

Brian A. Kenney, president and chief executive officer of GATX, said, “During 2013, we capitalized on the exceptionally strong demand for tank cars in North America by locking in historically high lease rates for very long terms. This strategy caused a positive 34.5% renewal rate change in GATX’s Lease Price Index (“LPI”) for full-year 2013, while the average renewal term for cars in the LPI was 62 months. We achieved these results despite the challenging freight car market, as weakness in demand persisted for certain freight car types such as coal.

"Fleet utilization was approximately 98% throughout the year, and our renewal success rate was just over 80%. We grew the North American fleet with railcar investment of over $500 million through select opportunities to purchase railcars in addition to investments made under our existing supply agreement. We also optimized our fleet by selling targeted car types, and in the process generated more than $50 million in asset remarketing income. As we expected entering 2013, compliance-related maintenance activity increased in North America, driving maintenance expense higher by 13% from 2012.

"GATX Rail Europe (“GRE”) performed well in 2013’s weaker European railcar leasing market by scrapping older, less efficient tank cars and replacing them with newly built cars, which resulted in reduced maintenance expense as well as increased utilization of 96.8% at year end. GRE’s 2013 investment volume exceeded $160 million.

"American Steamship Company’s (“ASC’s”) 2013 results were in line with our expectations, though operations were hampered by low water levels on the Great Lakes early in the shipping season and adverse winter weather conditions in the fourth quarter. Within the Portfolio Management segment, the Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates had another year of strong performance.

"As we enter 2014, we expect an increase in segment profit in Rail North America as lease revenue continues to increase. Lease rates on most tank car types are at record highs and the environment currently appears stable. We plan to capitalize on the continued high demand by placing railcars on very long-term leases. The growing lease revenues should more than offset a modest decline in remarketing income and increased maintenance expense as we work through the tank car compliance cycle.

“We expect a slight increase in GRE’s segment profit in 2014 due to slowly improving market conditions. Investment volume at GRE in the past two years was at the highest level since we made our initial investment in Europe nearly twenty years ago, and we anticipate another strong investment year in 2014. This reflects our commitment to assist our customers with the fleet replacement that must occur in the European tank car market.

“ASC’s shipping volume should improve in 2014 due to recapturing some of the tonnage lost during the very challenging weather conditions in the fourth quarter of 2013. This should positively impact their segment profit. At Portfolio Management, we expect continued strong performance at the Rolls-Royce affiliates but slightly lower remarketing income in our owned portfolio, resulting in a modestly lower year-to-year profit comparison within this segment.

“Overall, we are optimistic about the year ahead. Our North American and European rail platforms are well situated to benefit from positive trends in their respective markets. Importantly, the steps we took during the recession to be able to capitalize on this stronger market will pay benefits for years to come. We currently expect 2014 earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $3.85-$4.05, which would mark another record EPS level for GATX.

“Another factor to consider is the recent, serious accidents in crude by rail transportation, which have created uncertainty around how new and existing tank cars must be outfitted for this type of service. As a result, it is likely that tank car regulations will change and we may incur costs to ensure that our fleet continues to operate safely. It is not possible at this time to estimate the extent or timing of any regulatory changes, or what impact they might have on GATX, therefore we have not incorporated any related regulatory compliance costs into our earnings estimate.”

Commenting on the dividend and share repurchase authorization, Mr. Kenney added, “The board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.33 per common share, payable March 31, 2014 to shareholders of record on February 28, 2014. This represents a 6.5% increase from the prior year’s dividend on an annualized basis. The increase is reflective of the board’s favorable expectations for GATX’s long-term performance and demonstrates a continued commitment to our shareholders.

“Additionally, the board approved a $250 million share repurchase authorization. Having fully exhausted the prior $200 million authorization, the new authorization provides an avenue for returning capital to shareholders. Given our lease rate and lease term achievements in North America in recent years, we have embedded a high level of quality, committed cash flow into the business for an extended term. This cash flow will enable us to continue to invest aggressively in our markets, return capital to shareholders both through our dividend and share repurchase activity, and maintain a strong capital structure.”

RAIL NORTH AMERICA

Rail North America reported segment profit of $75.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $59.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Full-year segment profit was $231.6 million in 2013, compared to $209.3 million in 2012. The improvement in quarterly and annual segment profit was driven by higher lease rates and increased asset remarketing income, partially offset by higher maintenance costs due to increased compliance work, and higher depreciation expense as new cars were added to the fleet.

At December 31, 2013, Rail North America’s wholly-owned fleet totaled approximately 109,000 cars. Fleet utilization was 98.5%, comparable to the end of the third quarter, and 97.9% at 2012 year end. During the fourth quarter of 2013 the GATX Lease Price Index (“LPI”), a weighted average lease renewal rate for a group of railcars representative of Rail North America's fleet, increased 37.1% over the weighted average expiring lease rate. This compares to a 34.3% increase in the prior quarter and a 32.3% increase in the fourth quarter 2012. The average lease renewal term for cars included in the LPI during the fourth quarter was 60 months, compared to 63 months in the third quarter and 65 months in the fourth quarter of 2012. For the full-year 2013 the LPI increased 34.5% and railcars in the LPI had an average renewal term of 62 months, compared to an increase of 25.6% and average renewal term of 60 months in 2012. Rail North America's investment volume in 2013 was more than $500 million.

RAIL INTERNATIONAL

Rail International's segment profit was $19.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $10.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The 2012 fourth quarter results include the negative pre-tax impact from Other Items of $2.0 million. Rail International reported segment profit of $97.4 million in 2013, compared to $32.7 million in 2012. The 2013 and 2012 results include the pre-tax benefit from Other Items of $17.0 million and the negative pre-tax impact from Other Items of $22.9 million, respectively. The increase in full-year and quarterly segment profit was primarily driven by activities in Europe, including increased lease revenue due to more railcars on lease and higher lease rates and lower maintenance expense, partially offset by increased depreciation due to investment activity.

At the end of 2013, Rail International's fleet totaled approximately 22,000 cars and utilization was 96.6%, compared to 96.2% at the end of the third quarter and 95.1% at 2012 year end. Investment volume in 2013 at Rail International was nearly $170 million, primarily for new tank cars in Europe.

Additional current and historical fleet and operating data as well as macroeconomic data related to Rail North America’s and Rail International’s business can be found on the last page of this press release.

AMERICAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY

American Steamship Company (“ASC”) reported segment profit of $5.1 million in the fourth quarter 2013 compared to $8.2 million in the fourth quarter 2012. The decline in segment profit was due to significant weather delays.

Segment profit for 2013 was $28.9 million compared to $37.5 million in 2012. The decreased segment profit was primarily due to the lower volume of iron ore carried.

ASC operated 13 of its 18 vessels during the year and transported 28.8 million net tons of cargo compared to operating 14 vessels which carried 29.7 million net tons in 2012.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Portfolio Management reported segment profit of $26.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to a segment loss of $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. For full-year 2013, Portfolio Management reported segment profit of $74.4 million compared to $50.2 million in 2012. The increase in quarterly and annual segment profit was primarily due to the absence of a $14.8 million loss recognized in the fourth quarter of 2012 associated with the disposition of an affiliate investment, and improved results from the Rolls-Royce Partners Finance affiliates.

The Portfolio Management segment’s owned assets have a net book value of approximately $857 million and third-party managed portfolios have a net book value of approximately $125 million.

_________

(a)   GATX's Lease Price Index ("LPI") is an internally-generated business indicator that measures general lease rate pricing on renewals within its North American railcar fleet. The index is calculated using the weighted average lease rate for a group of railcar types that GATX believes best represents its overall North American fleet. In addition, this representative group of North American railcars is used to calculate an average renewal lease rate change and an average renewal term. The average renewal lease rate change is the percentage change between the weighted average renewal lease rate and the weighted average expiring lease rate. The average renewal lease term index is reported in months. It reflects the average renewal lease term of railcar types in the LPI weighted by fleet composition.
(b)   As reported and revised by the Federal Reserve.
(c)   As reported by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
(d)   As reported by the Railway Supply Institute (RSI).
(e)   Not available, not published as of the date of this release.
