GATX Corporation Reports 2015 Third-Quarter Results

GATX Corporation (NYSE:GMT) today reported 2015 third quarter net income of $39.5 million or $0.91 per diluted share, compared to net income of $51.3 million or $1.14 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2014. Net income through September 2015 was $147.1 million or $3.33 per diluted share, compared to $146.5 million or $3.18 per diluted share in the prior year period. The 2015 third quarter and year-to-date results include a net after-tax loss of $26.6 million, or $0.61 per diluted share related to the company’s decision to exit the majority of its marine investments within the Portfolio Management segment.

“The North American railcar leasing environment in 2015 has been consistent with our initial outlook,” said Brian A. Kenney, president and chief executive officer of GATX. “Certain North American car types, especially coal cars, are experiencing decreasing demand. However, GATX’s Lease Price Index, renewal metrics, and remarketing income all remain strong. Rail North America’s utilization remains extremely high at 99.2%, reflecting the composition and term structure of GATX’s diverse fleet.”

“Rail International, particularly our European fleet, continues to achieve solid operating results. At American Steamship Company, favorable weather conditions, higher water levels, and spot cargoes helped to partially offset softening demand for iron ore on the Great Lakes.”

“During the third-quarter of 2015 we made a strategic decision to exit the majority of our marine investments within our Portfolio Management segment. Although our investments in inland marine assets historically performed very well for GATX, our investments in ocean-going vessels have experienced significant earnings volatility. Given that inland marine and ocean-going investments are no longer core to GATX, we are opting to monetize these investments. The investments in Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance are unaffected by this decision and these joint ventures continue to perform very well.”

Mr. Kenney concluded, “We expect our 2015 full-year earnings to be at the upper range of our previously stated estimate of $5.15 to $5.35 per diluted share, excluding any impact of the exit from Portfolio Management’s marine investments.”

“Looking longer-term, the growing over-supply of tank cars is decreasing tank car renewal rates and making it more difficult to place new tank cars delivering in 2016. Our early recognition of the impending changes in the tank car market was the backdrop for our strategy to lock in attractive lease rates for longer terms and maintain a disciplined investment strategy. As a result of this strategy, our committed lease revenues are at record levels, and this base of stable cash flow will serve us well when the environment for more attractive investment opportunities develops.”

RAIL NORTH AMERICA

Rail North America reported segment profit of $90.0 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared to $70.6 million in the third quarter of 2014. The increase in quarterly segment profit was primarily attributable to improved utilization and higher lease rates across the fleet.

Year to date, Rail North America reported segment profit of $280.7 million, compared to $237.3 million in the same period of 2014. The increase in year-to-date segment profit was driven by increased lease revenue from higher lease rates as well as a nine-month contribution and higher utilization from the acquired boxcar fleet compared to six months at a lower utilization rate in the prior year.

At September 30, 2015, Rail North America’s wholly owned fleet was approximately 125,000 cars, including more than 18,500 boxcars. The following fleet statistics exclude the boxcar fleet.

Fleet utilization was 99.2% at the end of the third quarter, compared to 99.3% at the end of the prior quarter and 98.8% at the end of the third quarter of 2014. During the third quarter, 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 25.6% over the weighted average expiring lease rate. This compares to a 36.3% increase in the prior quarter and a 46.9% increase in the third quarter of 2014. A lackluster coal market continues to negatively impact GATX’s LPI. The average lease renewal term for all cars included in the LPI during the third quarter was 60 months, compared to 54 months in the prior quarter and 68 months in the third quarter of 2014. Asset remarketing income was approximately $10.5 million during the quarter, and total investment volume was nearly $98 million.

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 $15.5 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared to $19.7 million in the third quarter of 2014. Rail International reported segment profit of $56.4 million year-to-date 2015, compared to $59.8 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease in the segment profit was driven primarily by the effects of a weaker Euro. These foreign exchange rate impacts have been partially offset by higher lease revenue and lower maintenance costs at GATX Rail Europe (“GRE”).

At September 30, 2015, GRE's fleet consisted of approximately 22,800 cars and utilization was 95.7%, compared to 95.5% at the end of the second quarter and 95.1% at the end of the third quarter of 2014.

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 $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared to segment profit of $15.2 million in the third quarter of 2014. Segment profit year-to-date 2015 was $13.4 million, compared to $17.1 million year-to-date 2014. ASC carried 19.5 million net tons of cargo through the third quarter of 2015, compared to 19.6 million net tons in the prior year period. The decrease in segment profit was driven by commodity and trade mix variances.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

In the third quarter of 2015, Portfolio Management recorded a segment loss of $17.3 million, including a net pre-tax loss of approximately $42.5 million ($26.6 million after-tax) associated with the planned exit of the majority of Portfolio Management’s marine investments. The loss associated with this exit taken in the third quarter is expected to be partially offset by inland marine-related disposition gains that we expect to achieve in the fourth quarter.

Segment profit year-to-date 2015 was $8.9 million, compared to $40.1 million year-to-date 2014. The decrease in year-to-date segment profit was due to a net loss associated with the planned exit from Portfolio Management’s marine investments.

_________

(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).
