GATX Corporation (NYSE:GMT) today reported 2014 third quarter net income of $51.3 million or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to net income of $53.8 million or $1.15 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2013. The 2013 third quarter results include a benefit of $2.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. Details related to the Tax Adjustments and Other Items are provided in the attached Supplemental Information.

Net income for the first nine months of 2014 was $146.5 million or $3.18 per diluted share, compared to $116.0 million or $2.45 per diluted share in the prior year period. The 2013 year-to-date results include a benefit of $4.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, from Tax Adjustments and Other Items.

Brian A. Kenney, president and chief executive officer of GATX, said, “Broadening strength in the North American railcar market, growing railcar manufacturing backlogs and decreasing railroad velocities all contributed to Rail North America’s impressive performance in the third quarter. The renewal rate change of our Lease Price Index (“LPI”) was a record 46.9%, the average renewal term for cars in the LPI was 68 months, and the renewal success rate was nearly 87%. Our success in placing coal cars on leases at materially improved rates and terms positively impacted the LPI.”

Mr. Kenney continued, “In Europe, the prolonged economic weakness is impacting the pace at which new and existing tank cars are placed with customers. GATX Rail Europe continues to scrap its older cars and replace them with new ones. Investment volume through the end of the third quarter was more than $120 million in Europe.

“American Steamship Company is operating 15 vessels, and sailing conditions were favorable in the third quarter. Water levels on the Great Lakes are significantly higher than in 2013, resulting in the movement of more cargo per trip. Demand is stable and customers are still replenishing inventories depleted during the severe operating conditions of last winter and spring.”

Mr. Kenney concluded, “Based on current trends, we are increasing our earnings guidance from the previously provided range of $4.15 to $4.35 per diluted share to a range of $4.30 to $4.45 per diluted share. Earnings per share in this range represent a sharp increase over 2013 results, and reflect the continued strength in the North American rail market.”

RAIL NORTH AMERICA

Rail North America reported segment profit of $70.6 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $57.9 million in the third quarter of 2013. The increase in quarterly segment profit was driven by higher lease revenue resulting from higher lease rates and contributions from the recently acquired boxcar fleet.

Year to date, Rail North America reported segment profit of $237.3 million, compared to $156.4 million in the same period of 2013. The increase in year-to-date segment profit was driven primarily by higher lease revenue resulting from higher lease rates and the addition of the boxcar fleet, and higher asset remarketing income. This was partially offset by higher maintenance costs related to planned compliance work and costs associated with the boxcar fleet.

At September 30, 2014, Rail North America’s wholly owned fleet was approximately 127,000 cars, including approximately 19,000 boxcars. The following fleet statistics exclude the boxcar fleet.

Fleet utilization was 98.8% at the end of the third quarter, compared to 98.6% at the end of the prior quarter and 98.5% at the end of the third quarter of 2013. During the third quarter of 2014, GATX’s Lease Price Index, a weighted average lease renewal rate for a group of railcars representative of Rail North America's fleet, increased 46.9% over the weighted average expiring lease rate. This compares to a 36.0% increase in the prior quarter and a 34.3% increase in the third quarter of 2013. The average lease renewal term for cars included in the LPI during the third quarter was 68 months, compared to 67 months in the prior quarter and 63 months in the third quarter of 2013.

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 $19.7 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $34.8 million in the third quarter of 2013. The 2013 third quarter results include the pre-tax benefit from Other Items of $15.1 million. Excluding the impact from Other Items, third quarter segment profit was comparable to the prior year period.

Rail International reported segment profit of $59.8 million year-to-date 2014, compared to $77.8 million for the same period in 2013. The 2013 year-to-date results include the pre-tax benefit from Other Items of $17.0 million. Excluding the impact from Other Items, year-to-date segment profit was comparable to the prior year period. Increased lease revenue from higher lease rates at GATX Rail Europe (“GRE”) was offset by the absence of income from GATX’s interest in a joint venture which was sold during the third quarter of 2013, increased maintenance expense at GRE and increased depreciation expense due to new investments at GRE.

At September 30, 2014, GATX Rail Europe's fleet consisted of approximately 22,000 railcars and utilization was 95.1%, compared to 95.6% at the end of the second quarter and 96.3% at the end of the third quarter of 2013. 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 $15.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to segment profit of $12.9 million in the third quarter of 2013. ASC carried 11.3 million net tons of cargo during the third quarter of 2014, compared to 9.7 million net tons in the prior year period. The increase in quarterly segment profit was driven by higher marine operating revenue as ASC moved more cargo in the quarter, partially offset by increased operating costs due to the operation of more vessels.

Segment profit year-to-date 2014 was $17.1 million, compared to $23.8 million year-to-date 2013. ASC carried 19.6 million net tons of cargo through the third quarter of 2014, compared to 20.2 million net tons in the prior year period. The decline in year-to-date segment profit is due to significant weather delays and resulting operational costs incurred early in the sailing season.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Portfolio Management reported segment profit of $16.7 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $17.7 million in the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in quarterly segment profit was due to the continued weakness of certain ocean-going vessels, partially offset by improved operating results of the Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance (“RRPF”) affiliates.

Segment profit year-to-date 2014 was $40.1 million, compared to $47.5 million in the same period of 2013. The decrease in year-to-date segment profit was primarily due to lower asset remarketing income in the current year, partially offset by improved operating results of the RRPF affiliates.

_________

(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).
