Demand for railcars across GATX's global fleets remains strong; Rail North America's fleet utilization remains above 99%
Aircraft spare engine portfolio continues strong performance
Investment volume was $504.5 million in the third quarter and totaled over $1.3 billion year to date
Company updates 2024 full-year earnings guidance to $7.50 – 7.70 per diluted share

GATX Corporation (NYSE:GATX) today reported 2024 third-quarter net income of $89.0 million, or $2.43 per diluted share, compared to net income of $52.5 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2023. The 2024 third-quarter results include a net negative impact of $2.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, from Tax Adjustments and Other Items.

Net income for the first nine months of 2024 was $207.7 million, or $5.68 per diluted share, compared to $193.2 million, or $5.30 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The 2024 year-to-date results include a net negative impact of $9.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. The 2023 year-to-date results include a net negative impact of $1.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. Details related to these items are provided in the attached Supplemental Information under Impact of Tax Adjustments and Other Items.

"Operating conditions across our global markets remain consistent with our expectations coming into the year," said Robert C. Lyons, president and chief executive officer of GATX. "Our commercial and operations teams at Rail North America continue to execute at a high level. GATX Rail North America's fleet utilization was 99.3% at the end of the third quarter and the renewal success rate was over 80%. The renewal lease rate change of GATX's Lease Price Index was a positive 26.6% with an average renewal term of 59 months.

"At Rail North America, we capitalized on an active secondary railcar market and generated third-quarter remarketing income of over $43 million, bringing year-to-date remarketing income to over $96 million. Furthermore, we identified opportunities to grow our asset base during the quarter, acquiring over 1,000 railcars in addition to those acquired under our supply agreement.

"Rail International performed well as we continue to take delivery of new railcars in Europe and India. GATX Rail Europe's fleet utilization was 95.9% at the end of the quarter. GATX Rail India, where fleet utilization remained at 100%, continues to experience very strong demand for railcars and sees substantial opportunities for new railcar investments.

"In Engine Leasing, third-quarter results were driven by excellent performance at the Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates, as demand for aircraft spare engines remains robust. We continued to identify attractive opportunities to increase our investment in engines, both directly and through RRPF affiliates. In the third quarter, we added four engines to our wholly owned portfolio for $94.8 million."

Mr. Lyons concluded, "Based on current market conditions and our year-to-date performance, we expect 2024 full-year earnings to be in the range of $7.50–$7.70 per diluted share. This guidance excludes the impact of Tax Benefits and Other Items."

RAIL NORTH AMERICA

Rail North America reported segment profit of $102.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $66.1 million in the third quarter of 2023. Higher 2024 third-quarter segment profit was driven by higher gains on asset dispositions and higher lease revenue. Year to date 2024, Rail North America reported segment profit of $271.5 million, compared to $240.6 million in the same period of 2023. Higher 2024 year-to-date segment profit was predominately driven by higher lease revenue, partially offset by higher interest expense.

As of Sept. 30, 2024, Rail North America's wholly owned fleet was composed of over 111,000 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 third quarter of 2024, consistent with the end of the prior quarter and the end of the third quarter of 2023.

During the third quarter of 2024, the renewal lease rate change of the LPI was positive 26.6%. This compares to positive 29.4% in the prior quarter and positive 33.4% in the third quarter of 2023. The average lease renewal term for all cars included in the LPI during the third quarter of 2024 was 59 months, compared to 61 months in the prior quarter and 65 months in the third quarter of 2023. The 2024 third-quarter renewal success rate was 82.0%, compared to 84.1% in the prior quarter and 83.6% in the third quarter of 2023. Rail North America's investment volume during the third quarter of 2024 was $325.9 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 $33.9 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $28.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. Year to date 2024, Rail International reported segment profit of $89.2 million, compared to $79.0 million in the same period of 2023. The 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, higher 2024 third-quarter and year-to-date segment profit was driven by more railcars on lease and higher lease rates.

As of Sept. 30, 2024, GATX Rail Europe's (GRE) fleet consisted of nearly 30,000 cars. 2024 third-quarter fleet utilization was 95.9%, compared to 95.8% at the end of the prior quarter and 96.0% at the end of the third quarter of 2023.

As of Sept. 30, 2024, Rail India's fleet consisted of over 10,300 railcars. 2024 third-quarter fleet utilization was 100%, consistent with the end of the prior quarter and the end of the third 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 $37.5 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to segment profit of $20.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. Year to date 2024, segment profit was $81.6 million, compared to segment profit of $75.1 million in the same period of 2023.

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 these impacts, higher 2024 third-quarter and year-to-date segment profit was predominately driven by strong performance at the Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance (RRPF) affiliates. Earnings from GATX Engine Leasing, our wholly owned portfolio, were also higher in the comparative periods due to more engines under ownership.

_________
(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)		Expenses recorded for the settlement of litigation claims arising out of legacy business operations.
(3)		Reserves recorded for our share of anticipated environmental remediation costs arising out of prior operations and legacy businesses.
(4)		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. As of December 31, 2023, all vessels had been sold.
(5)		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 LPI calculation includes all renewal activity based on a 12-month trailing average, and the renewals are weighted by the count of all renewals over the 12 month period. 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).
(7)		Not available, not published as of the date of this release.
