GATX Corporation Reports 2019 Second-Quarter Results

  • Net income for the second quarter 2019 was $68.0 million or $1.86 per diluted share
  • Company reiterates 2019 full-year earnings guidance
  • Remarketing income in Rail North America was $26.9 million for the second quarter 2019
  • Rail North America’s fleet utilization increased to 99.5%

/EIN News/ -- CHICAGO, July 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GATX Corporation (NYSE:GATX) today reported 2019 second quarter net income of $68.0 million or $1.86 per diluted share, compared to net income of $38.8 million or $1.01 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2018. Net income for the first six months of 2019 was $109.5 million or $2.97 per diluted share, compared to $115.1 million or $2.99 per diluted share in the prior year period. The 2019 second quarter and year-to-date results include a net deferred tax benefit of $2.8 million or $0.08 per diluted share related to an enacted foreign tax rate reduction. The 2018 second quarter and year-to-date results include a net negative impact of $5.8 million or $0.15 per diluted share, attributed to costs associated with the closure of a railcar maintenance facility in Germany. Details related to these items are provided in the attached Supplemental Information under Tax Adjustments and Other Items.

Brian A. Kenney, president and chief executive officer of GATX stated, “Conditions in the North American railcar leasing market are consistent with our expectations coming into the year. Fleet utilization increased to 99.5% at the end of the quarter, and our renewal success rate was 85.3%. As expected, the renewal lease rate change of GATX’s Lease Price Index was negative 2.8% in the quarter, with an average renewal term of 53 months.

“Rail International continues to perform well with GATX Rail Europe’s fleet utilization remaining steady at 98.9% at quarter end. In India, customer demand for new railcar leases continues to gain momentum, and investment volume for 2019 remains robust.

“The Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates’ performance continues to provide outstanding results within the Portfolio Management segment. American Steamship Company successfully deployed eleven vessels and is benefiting from favorable operating conditions on the Great Lakes.

Mr. Kenney concluded, “Given the current business environment and our financial performance thus far in 2019, our 2019 full-year earnings estimate is unchanged at $4.85-$5.15 per diluted share. This guidance excludes the impact of Tax Benefits and Other Items.”

RAIL NORTH AMERICA

Rail North America reported segment profit of $85.8 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $64.2 million in the second quarter of 2018. Higher segment profit was primarily a result of higher gains on asset dispositions. Year-to-date, Rail North America reported segment profit of $154.2 million, compared to $173.1 million in the same period of 2018. Higher revenues in 2019 were more than offset by lower gains on asset dispositions and higher ownership costs in 2019, resulting in lower segment profit.

At June 30, 2019, Rail North America’s wholly owned fleet was comprised of approximately 119,500 railcars, including approximately 16,000 boxcars. The following fleet statistics and performance discussion exclude the boxcar fleet.

Fleet utilization was 99.5% at the end of the second quarter, compared to 99.4% at the end of the prior quarter and 98.9% at the end of the second quarter of 2018. During the second quarter of 2019, the renewal lease rate change of the GATX Lease Price Index (LPI) was negative 2.8%. This compares to positive 5.2% in the prior quarter and negative 16.1% in the second quarter of 2018. The average lease renewal term for cars included in the LPI during the second quarter was 53 months, compared to 39 months in the prior quarter and 41 months in the second quarter of 2018. Rail North America’s investment volume during the second quarter was $105.3 million.

Additional fleet statistics, including information about 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 $21.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2018. Rail International reported segment profit of $36.1 million year-to-date 2019, compared to $31.8 million for the same period of 2018. The second quarter and year-to-date 2018 results include $8.6 million of expense ($5.8 million after-tax) related to the closure of GATX Rail Europe’s (GRE) railcar maintenance facility in Germany. Excluding this expense, results in the comparative periods were favorably impacted by more railcars on lease and negatively impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

At June 30, 2019, GRE’s fleet consisted of approximately 24,000 cars and utilization was 98.9%, compared to 98.9% at the end of the prior quarter and 97.8% at the end of the second quarter of 2018. Additional fleet statistics for GRE are provided on the last page of this press release.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Portfolio Management reported segment profit of $11.9 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2018. Segment profit year-to-date 2019 was $24.2 million, compared to $25.3 million for the same period of 2018. The decline in segment profit year-to-date was predominantly driven by lower marine operating revenue. Performance at the Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates (RRPF) continues to be very strong, as evidenced by an increase in Share of Affiliate’s Earnings for both the second quarter and year-to-date 2019 reported results as compared to the prior year periods.

AMERICAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY

American Steamship Company (ASC) reported segment profit of $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2018. Segment profit year-to-date 2019 was $14.6 million, compared to $8.8 million for the same period of 2018. ASC carried 9.9 million net tons of cargo through the second quarter of 2019, compared to 9.0 million during the same period in 2018. The improvement in segment profit was primarily driven by favorable operating conditions and more efficient fleet performance.

(*) 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, diluted earnings per share, and return on equity 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.

(*) A portion of our North American railcar fleet is financed through sale-leasebacks that are accounted for as operating leases. Prior to 2019, these railcar assets were not recorded on the balance sheet. Under the new lease accounting standard adopted on January 1, 2019, GATX records these railcar operating leases on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets with corresponding amounts for operating lease liabilities. Prior to 2019, we reported total on- and off-balance sheet assets in our calculation of total assets (as adjusted) because we believed it provided investors a more comprehensive representation of the magnitude of the assets we operated and that drove our financial performance. In addition, this calculation of total assets (as adjusted) provided consistency with other non-financial information we disclosed about our fleet, including the number of railcars in the fleet, average number of cars on lease, and utilization. We also provide information regarding our leverage ratios, which are expressed as a ratio of debt (including off-balance sheet debt) to equity. The off-balance sheet debt amount in this calculation was the equivalent of the off-balance sheet asset amount. We believe reporting this corresponding off-balance sheet debt amount provided investors and other users of our financial statements with a more comprehensive representation of our debt obligations, leverage, and capital structure.

__________
(1) GATX’s Lease Price Index (LPI) is an internally-generated business indicator that measures lease rate pricing on renewals for our North American railcar fleet, excluding boxcars. GATX calculates the index 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).
(6) Not available, not published as of the date of this release.
