GATX GATX Corp

• Demand for railcars remains robust across all regions; Rail North America’s fleet utilization remains above 99%
• Aircraft spare engine portfolio continues to benefit from strong demand for global air travel
• Investment volume was $442.0 million in the second quarter and totaled $820.6 million year to date
• Company reiterates 2024 full-year earnings guidance

GATX Corporation (NYSE: GATX) today reported 2024 second-quarter net income of $44.4 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, compared to net income of $63.3 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2023. The 2024 second-quarter results include a net negative impact of $8.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. The 2023 second-quarter results include a net positive impact of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, from Tax Adjustments and Other Items.

Net income for the first six months of 2024 was $118.7 million, or $3.25 per diluted share, compared to $140.7 million, or $3.87 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The 2024 and 2023 year-to-date results include net negative impacts of $7.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, and $1.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, respectively, from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. Details related to these items are provided in the attached Supplemental Information under Tax Adjustments and Other Items.

"Consistent with our initial outlook, conditions remain robust across our global markets," said Robert C. Lyons, president and chief executive officer of GATX. "At Rail North America, fleet utilization remained high at 99.3% at the end of the quarter and the renewal success rate was strong at 84.1%. The renewal lease rate change of GATX’s Lease Price Index was positive 29.4% with an average renewal term of 61 months. We continue to successfully place deliveries of new railcars under our existing supply agreement. In addition, we acquired over 600 railcars in the secondary and spot markets during the quarter.

"Rail International produced solid operating results. Demand for most railcar types remains stable and GATX Rail Europe's fleet utilization was 95.8% at quarter end. We continue to take delivery of new railcars in Europe and India, and in July, Rail India celebrated the delivery of its 10,000th railcar. This milestone is reflective of our ongoing commitment to India and the impressive growth outlook for its freight rail market."

Mr. Lyons added, "Engine Leasing performed well as demand for aircraft spare engines remains very strong. We anticipate favorable operating conditions for Engine Leasing for the balance of the year. Further, capitalizing on attractive opportunities to increase our direct investment in aircraft spare engines, we acquired three engines for $71.3 million during the quarter, and we foresee an active investment calendar during the second half of this year."

Mr. Lyons concluded, "We came into the year with positive expectations, and market conditions and trends have been as anticipated. Therefore, our 2024 full-year earnings estimate remains unchanged at $7.30–$7.70 per diluted share, excluding the impact of Tax Adjustments and Other Items."

RAIL NORTH AMERICA

Rail North America reported segment profit of $78.8 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $79.3 million in the second quarter of 2023. Year to date 2024, Rail North America reported segment profit of $169.1 million, compared to $174.5 million in the same period of 2023. Lower 2024 second-quarter and year-to-date results were due to lower gains on asset dispositions and higher interest expense, largely offset by higher revenue driven by higher lease rates. Demand for railcars being sold in the secondary market remains strong, and full-year remarketing income is expected to be in line with original expectations.

At June 30, 2024, Rail North America’s wholly owned fleet was composed of approximately 111,100 cars, including approximately 9,000 boxcars. The following fleet statistics and performance discussion exclude the boxcar fleet.

Fleet utilization was 99.3% at the end of the second quarter of 2024, compared to 99.4% at the end of the prior quarter and 99.3% at the end of the second quarter of 2023. During the second quarter of 2024, the renewal lease rate change of the Lease Price Index (LPI) was positive 29.4%, compared to positive 33.0% in the prior quarter and positive 33.1% in the second quarter of 2023. The average lease renewal term for all cars included in the LPI during the second quarter of 2024 was 61 months, compared to 64 months in the prior quarter and 61 months in the second quarter of 2023. The 2024 second-quarter renewal success rate was 84.1%, compared to 83.4% in the prior quarter and 85.3% in the second quarter of 2023. Rail North America’s investment volume during the second quarter of 2024 was $308.1 million.

Additional fleet statistics, including information on the boxcar fleet, and macroeconomic data related to Rail North America’s business are provided in the attached Supplemental Information under Rail North America Statistics.

RAIL INTERNATIONAL

Rail International’s segment profit was $26.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $27.3 million in the second quarter of 2023. Year to date 2024, Rail International reported segment profit of $55.3 million, compared to $50.8 million in the same period of 2023. 2023 year-to-date results include a net positive impact of $0.3 million from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. Additional details are provided in the attached Supplemental Information under Tax Adjustments and Other Items. Excluding the impact of these items, 2024 second-quarter and year-to-date results were favorably impacted by more railcars on lease and higher lease rates and negatively impacted by higher interest and maintenance expenses.

At June 30, 2024, GATX Rail Europe’s (GRE) fleet consisted of over 29,600 cars. Fleet utilization was 95.8%, compared to 95.3% at the end of the prior quarter and 96.9% at the end of the second quarter of 2023.

At June 30, 2024, Rail India's fleet consisted of over 9,900 railcars. Fleet utilization was 100%, compared to 100% at the end of the prior quarter and 100% at the end of the second quarter of 2023.

Additional fleet statistics for GRE and Rail India are provided on the last page of this press release.

ENGINE LEASING

Engine Leasing reported segment profit of $18.4 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to segment profit of $26.6 million in the second quarter of 2023. Year to date 2024, segment profit was $44.1 million, compared to segment profit of $54.9 million in the same period of 2023.

2023 second-quarter results include a net positive impact of $0.2 million from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. 2024 and 2023 year-to-date results include a net positive impact of $0.6 million and a net negative impact of $1.4 million, respectively, from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. Additional details are provided in the attached Supplemental Information under Tax Adjustments and Other Items.

Excluding the impact of these items, lower 2024 second-quarter and year-to-date results were driven by lower earnings from the Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance (RRPF) affiliates, partly offset by increased earnings from GATX Engine Leasing, the Company’s wholly owned engine portfolio. During the comparative periods, lower RRPF earnings was driven by the timing of remarketing events and resulting lower remarketing income.

(1)

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we compute certain financial measures using non-GAAP components. Specifically, we exclude the effects of certain tax adjustments and other items for purposes of presenting net income and diluted earnings per share because we believe these items are not attributable to our business operations. Management utilizes net income, excluding tax adjustments and other items, when analyzing financial performance because such amounts reflect the underlying operating results that are within management’s ability to influence. Accordingly, we believe presenting this information provides investors and other users of our financial statements with meaningful supplemental information for purposes of analyzing year-to-year financial performance on a comparable basis and assessing trends.

(2)

Reserves recorded for our share of anticipated environmental remediation costs arising out of prior operations and legacy businesses.

(3)

In 2022, we made the decision to sell the Specialized Gas Vessels. We have recorded gains and losses associated with the subsequent impairments and sales of these assets. All vessels were sold as of December 31, 2023.

(4)

In 2022, we made the decision to exit our rail business in Russia ("Rail Russia"). In the first quarter of 2023, we sold Rail Russia and recorded a gain on the final sale of this business.

__________

(1)

GATX's Lease Price Index (LPI) is an internally-generated business indicator that measures renewal activity for our North American railcar 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. The average renewal lease term is reported in months and reflects the average renewal lease term in the LPI.

(2)

The renewal success rate represents the percentage of railcars on expiring leases that were renewed with the existing lessee. The renewal success rate is an important metric because railcars returned by our customers may remain idle or incur additional maintenance and freight costs prior to being leased to new customers.

(3)

Excludes boxcar fleet.

(4)

As reported and revised by the Federal Reserve.

(5)

As reported by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).

(6)

As reported by the Railway Supply Institute (RSI).
