CHICAGO, April 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GATX Corporation (NYSE:GATX) today reported 2017 first quarter net income of $57.5 million or $1.44 per diluted share, compared to net income of $69.3 million or $1.66 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2016. The first-quarter 2016 results included a net gain of approximately $1.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, associated with the planned exit of the majority of Portfolio Management’s marine investments. Details related to the exit of Portfolio Management’s marine investments are provided in the attached Supplemental Information.
Brian A. Kenney, president and chief executive officer of GATX, stated, “For the second consecutive quarter, North American car loadings increased and railroad velocity decreased on a year over year basis. However, continued railcar oversupply, a large railcar manufacturing backlog, and low fleet utilization among certain competitors combined to prevent general lease rate improvement in the first quarter.
“Consequently, while GATX’s fleet utilization increased to 99.1% in the quarter, the renewal lease rate change of GATX’s Lease Price Index decreased by 32.6%, with an average renewal term of 29 months. Our renewal success rate was excellent at 72.4%. Our commercial team effectively deployed railcars and displaced competitors’ railcars despite the idle capacity in the industry.
“Rail International continues to produce solid operating results. GATX Rail Europe maintained high fleet utilization of 95.0% despite railcar oversupply in the petroleum market. We continue to upgrade customers’ fleets with new railcars, while successfully assigning displaced, older cars to new customers. American Steamship Company’s sailing season began at the end of March, and ten vessels are currently scheduled to operate in 2017. The Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates continue to perform very well. Demand for spare aircraft engines remains solid across the fleet, and 2017 investment prospects are positive.”
Mr. Kenney concluded, “The year is progressing as we expected, and therefore at this time our 2017 full-year earnings estimate is unchanged at $4.40 – $4.60 per diluted share.”
RAIL NORTH AMERICA
Rail North America reported segment profit of $93.0 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to $108.7 million in the first quarter of 2016. Higher gains on asset dispositions in the first quarter of 2017 were more than offset by lower lease revenue and higher maintenance expense, resulting in lower segment profit in 2017.
At March 31, 2017, Rail North America’s wholly owned fleet comprised approximately 121,000 railcars, including approximately 17,400 boxcars. The following fleet statistics and performance discussion exclude the boxcar fleet.
Fleet utilization was 99.1% at the end of the first quarter, compared to 98.9% at the end of the prior quarter and 98.9% at the end of the first quarter of 2016. During the first quarter of 2017, the GATX Lease Price Index (LPI), a weighted-average lease renewal rate for a group of railcars representative of Rail North America’s fleet, decreased 32.6% over the weighted-average expiring lease rate. This compares to a 36.2% decrease in the prior quarter and a 6.4% increase in the first quarter of 2016. The average lease renewal term for cars included in the LPI during the first quarter was 29 months, compared to 29 months in the prior quarter and 34 months in the first quarter of 2016. Rail North America’s investment volume during the first quarter was approximately $103 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 $13.4 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to $12.6 million in the first quarter of 2016. The improvement in segment profit was primarily driven by lower maintenance expenses, including fewer wheelset replacements.
At March 31, 2017, GATX Rail Europe’s (GRE) fleet consisted of approximately 23,100 cars and utilization was 95.0%, compared to 95.6% at the end of the prior quarter and 95.1% at the end of the first quarter of 2016. Additional fleet statistics for GRE are provided on the last page of this press release.
AMERICAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY
American Steamship Company (ASC) reported a segment loss of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to a segment profit of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2016. ASC’s operations are limited during the first quarter as the vessels are in winter lay-up from mid-January through late-March.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Portfolio Management reported segment profit of $14.7 million in the first quarter of 2017, compared to $18.6 million in the first quarter of 2016. First quarter 2016 segment profit included a gain of approximately $2.4 million associated with the planned exit of the majority of the marine investments. The operating environment at Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates is positive with modestly higher affiliate income in 2017.

(*) We disclose total on- and off-balance sheet assets because certain operating assets are accounted for as operating leases and are not recorded on the balance sheet. We include these leased-in assets in our calculation of total assets (as adjusted) because we believe it gives investors a more comprehensive representation of the magnitude of the assets we operate and that drive our financial performance. In addition, this calculation of total assets (as adjusted) provides consistency with other non-financial information we disclose. 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 is the equivalent of the off-balance sheet asset amount. We believe reporting this corresponding off-balance sheet debt amount provides 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. 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).
(6) Not available, not published as of the date of this release.
