GATX Corporation Reports 2014 Second Quarter Results

July 31, 2014

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 31, 2014-- GATX Corporation (NYSE:GMT) today reported 2014 second quarter net income of $53.1 million or $1.15 per diluted share, compared to net income of $35.1 million or $0.74 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2013. The 2013 second quarter results include a benefit of $3.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. Details related to the Tax Adjustments and Other Items are provided in the attached Supplemental Information.

Net income for the first six months of 2014 was $95.2 million or $2.05 per diluted share, compared to $62.2 million or $1.31 per diluted share in the prior year period. The 2013 year-to-date results include the benefit from Tax Adjustments and Other Items of $1.7 million or $0.04 per diluted share.

Brian A. Kenney, president and chief executive officer of GATX, said, “Rail North America continues to see strong demand for tank cars and improving, broad-based demand for many freight car types, particularly covered hoppers. Utilization was 98.6% at the end of the quarter, excluding our boxcar fleet. The renewal rate change of our Lease Price Index was a positive 36.0% and the average renewal term for cars in the Lease Price Index was 67 months. Our renewal success rate also remained high, at nearly 85% during the second quarter.

“We made excellent progress integrating the recently acquired boxcar fleet. Utilization on this fleet increased from 78.8% at acquisition to 90.7% by the end of the second quarter, primarily by placing idle cars on term lease and scrapping and selling targeted cars.

“Rail International’s performance is in line with our expectations. The demand for tank cars in Europe is stable, and GATX Rail Europe continues to take delivery of new cars to meet customer needs. American Steamship Company had a challenging start to the sailing season due to harsh weather conditions. However, water levels are higher than in recent years, and 14 vessels are currently operating as planned. Within the Portfolio Management segment, the Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates continue to perform very well, as expected.”

Mr. Kenney concluded, “We continue to expect our 2014 full-year earnings to be in the range of $4.15 to $4.35 per diluted share.”

RAIL NORTH AMERICA

Rail North America reported segment profit of $91.7 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $48.2 million in the second quarter of 2013. Year to date, Rail North America reported segment profit of $166.7 million, compared to $98.5 million in the same period of 2013. The improvement in quarterly and year-to-date segment profit was driven by increased lease revenue from higher lease rates and the timing of asset remarketing income.

At June 30, 2014, Rail North America’s wholly owned fleet was approximately 126,000 cars, including approximately 19,300 boxcars. The following fleet statistics exclude the boxcar fleet.

Fleet utilization was 98.6% at the end of the second quarter, compared to 98.5% at the end of the prior quarter and 98.2% at the end of the second quarter of 2013. During the second quarter of 2014, 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 36.0% over the weighted average expiring lease rate. This compares to a 33.9% increase in the prior quarter and a 36.0% increase in the second quarter of 2013. The average lease renewal term for cars included in the LPI during the second quarter was 67 months, compared to 62 months in the prior quarter and 58 months in the second quarter of 2013.

Upon acquisition, GATX’s boxcar fleet consisted of approximately 20,100 cars and utilization was 78.8%. At the end of the second quarter, the boxcar fleet was approximately 19,300 cars, and utilization improved to 90.7%.

Asset remarketing income was $21.5 million during the quarter, and investment volume was more than $145 million, mostly for new tank cars.

Additional fleet statistics, including information on the boxcar fleet, and macroeconomic data related to Rail North America’s business are provided on the last page of this press release.

RAIL INTERNATIONAL

Rail International's segment profit was $19.4 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $24.4 million in the second quarter of 2013. The 2013 second quarter results include the pre-tax benefit from Other Items of $3.3 million. Rail International reported segment profit of $40.1 million year-to-date 2014, compared to $43.0 million for the same period in 2013. The 2013 year-to-date results include the pre-tax benefit from Other Items of $1.9 million. The decline in quarterly and year-to-date segment profit was driven by increased maintenance expense at GATX Rail Europe (“GRE”) and the absence of income from GATX’s interest in a joint venture, which was sold during the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in segment profit was partially offset by an increase in lease revenue due to higher lease rates at GRE.

At June 30, 2014, GRE's fleet consisted of approximately 22,000 cars and utilization was 95.6%, compared to 96.0% at the end of the first quarter and 95.8% at the end of the second quarter of 2013. Additional fleet statistics for GATX Rail Europe are provided on the last page of this press release.

AMERICAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY

American Steamship Company (“ASC”) reported a segment profit of $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to segment profit of $10.1 million in the second quarter of 2013. Segment profit year-to-date 2014 was $1.9 million, compared to $10.9 million year-to-date 2013. ASC carried 8.3 million net tons of cargo through the second quarter of 2014, compared to 10.5 million net tons in the prior year period. The decline in quarterly and year-to-date segment profit is due to significant weather delays and resulting operational costs incurred early in the sailing season. ASC is currently operating 14 vessels and customer demand remains stable. ASC plans to bring another vessel into service later this summer as customers replenish depleted inventories following the slow start to the year.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Portfolio Management reported segment profit of $11.5 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $17.3 million in the second quarter of 2013. Segment profit year-to-date 2014 was $23.4 million, compared to $29.8 million year-to-date 2013. The decrease in both quarterly and year-to-date segment profit was primarily due to lower asset remarketing income in the current year. Owned assets have a net book value of approximately $859.3 million.

(1)   GATX's Lease Price Index ("LPI") is an internally-generated business indicator that measures lease rate pricing on renewals within our North American railcar fleet, excluding the boxcar 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, excluding boxcars. The average renewal lease rate change is reported as the percentage change between the average renewal lease rate and the average expiring lease rate, weighted by fleet composition. The average renewal lease term is reported in months and reflects the average renewal lease term of railcar types in the LPI, weighted by fleet composition.
(2)   Excludes boxcar fleet.
(3)   As reported and revised by the Federal Reserve.
(4)   As reported by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
(5)   As reported by the Railway Supply Institute (RSI).
