  • Anticipates full year 2014 earnings per common diluted share of between $4.08 and $4.16

Consolidated Results

Trinity Industries, Inc. reported net income attributable to Trinity stockholders of $149.4 million, or $0.90 per common diluted share, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014. Net income for the same quarter of 2013 was $99.6 million, or $0.63 per common diluted share. Revenues for the third quarter of 2014 increased 41% to a record $1.56 billion compared to revenues of $1.11 billion for the same quarter of 2013.

“During the third quarter, Trinity generated record revenues and its 17th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in net earnings," said Timothy R. Wallace, Trinity’s Chairman, CEO and President. "Our major businesses reported a record combined backlog valued at more than $7.1 billion at the end of the third quarter, representing 15% growth year-over-year. I continue to be impressed with our team of people and the amount of operating leverage they are obtaining. Their capabilities and hard work have enabled us to realign our manufacturing capacity to meet strong demand for our products and services that support the North American energy renaissance.”

Mr. Wallace added, “In addition to reporting strong financial results during the quarter, we made continued progress toward achieving our vision of being a premier, diversified industrial company. This progress is demonstrated by the more than $700 million we have committed to acquisitions in our Energy Equipment Group thus far in 2014. The integration of Meyer Steel Structures, which closed in August, is progressing smoothly."

Business Group Results

In the third quarter of 2014, the Rail Group reported record revenues of $996.4 million and operating profit of $186.4 million, resulting in increases compared to the third quarter of 2013 of 39% and 53%, respectively. The increase in revenues and profit was due to higher deliveries, improved pricing, and a more favorable product mix. The Rail Group shipped 7,745 railcars and received orders for 14,120 railcars during the third quarter. The Rail Group backlog increased to a record $6.1 billion at September 30, 2014, representing a record 51,725 railcars, compared to a backlog of $5.5 billion as of June 30, 2014, representing 45,350 railcars.

During the third quarter of 2014, the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group reported revenues of $205.7 million compared to revenues of $150.6 million during the third quarter of 2013. Operating profit for this Group was $87.0 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to operating profit of $74.0 million in the third quarter of 2013. The increase in revenues and operating profit was due to higher rental rates and utilization as well as increased railcar sales from the lease fleet. During the third quarter, the Company sold $132.2 million of railcars to Element Financial Corporation under the strategic alliance announced last December with $47.4 million reported as sales of railcars owned one year or less at the time of sale, $13.0 million reported as sales of railcars owned more than one year at the time of sale, and $71.8 million reported in the Rail Group as external revenue. Supplemental information for the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group is provided in the following tables.

The Inland Barge Group reported revenues of $168.4 million compared to revenues of $136.4 million in the third quarter of 2013. Operating profit for this Group was $31.0 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $23.8 million in the third quarter of 2013. The increase in revenues and operating profit compared to the same quarter last year was due to higher delivery volumes and a more favorable product mix. The Inland Barge Group received orders of $177.1 million during the quarter, and as of September 30, 2014 had a backlog of $475.4 million compared to a backlog of $466.7 million as of June 30, 2014.

The Energy Equipment Group reported record revenues of $269.7 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to revenues of $169.7 million in the same quarter of 2013. Revenues related to acquisitions completed in 2014 totaled $64.4 million for the third quarter while the remainder of the increase compared to the same period in 2013 was due to increased demand for storage containers and higher shipments of structural wind towers. Operating profit for the third quarter of 2014 increased to $30.0 million compared to $15.0 million in the same quarter last year. The backlog for structural wind towers as of September 30, 2014 was $528.6 million compared to a backlog of $611.3 million as of June 30, 2014.

Revenues in the Construction Products Group were $170.4 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to revenues of $149.2 million in the third quarter of 2013. The Group recorded an operating profit of $21.6 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to an operating profit of $18.6 million in the third quarter of 2013. Revenues and operating profit increased for the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to higher volumes.

Cash and Liquidity

At September 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $663.7 million. When combined with capacity under committed credit facilities, the Company had approximately $1.3 billion of available liquidity at the end of the third quarter. This level of liquidity includes the net proceeds received from the Company's issuance in September of $400 million in 4.55% senior notes due 2024.

Share Repurchase

At a cost of $19.0 million, the Company repurchased 407,100 shares of common stock under its share repurchase authorization during the quarter. Year to date, the Company has purchased approximately $31.5 million of shares of common stock, leaving $218.5 million remaining under its current authorization through December 31, 2015.

Convertible Notes

The Company’s $450 million convertible notes have a dilutive impact on the calculation of earnings per share when the average stock price for the quarter exceeds the conversion price. The average stock price for the third quarter was $46.03 per share compared to the conversion price in effect during the quarter of $25.27 per share, the result of which added 8.0 million additional shares to the Company’s diluted share count, reducing earnings per share by $0.05 per share. Year to date, approximately 6.0 million shares have been added to the Company’s dilutive share count, reducing earnings per share by $0.13 per share. The Company’s 2014 earnings guidance, as discussed in the Earnings Outlook, assumes an annual weighted average diluted share count of 157 million shares, which includes 5.8 million shares from the convertible notes. The dilutive impact of the convertible notes assumes an average annual stock price of $37.45 per share and reduces full year 2014 earnings per share by approximately $0.16 per share.

Highway Products Litigation

On October 20, 2014, a jury in a federal district court in Marshall, Texas returned a verdict stating that the Company and its subsidiary, Trinity Highway Products, LLC, “knowingly made, used or caused to be made or used, a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim,” awarding $175 million in damages based on such finding. The jury's damages award, to the extent it survives the Company's challenge in post-trial motions or on appeal, is automatically trebled under the False Claims Act (the "Act") to $525 million. Additionally, the district court is required to impose civil penalties for each violation of the Act (which penalties are not automatically trebled). The district court has not yet entered a final judgment or determined a civil penalty amount. The Company maintains that the allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend its positions in post-trial motions and on appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Pending entry of a final judgment and completion of the Company’s post-trial and appellate activities in this matter, the Company currently does not believe that a loss is probable, therefore no accrual has been included in the consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Outlook

The Company's earnings guidance for the fourth quarter is between $0.75 and $0.83 per common diluted share, which includes the impact from the Meyer acquisition. This results in full year 2014 earnings guidance of between $4.08 and $4.16 per common diluted share compared to previous guidance of between $3.90 and $4.10 per share, which excluded any impact from Meyer. The Company’s earnings guidance compares to fourth quarter and full year 2013 earnings per common diluted share of $0.72 and $2.38, respectively. The acquisition of Meyer has a minimal impact on earnings in 2014, after considering the additional amortization expense associated with acquired intangibles other than goodwill and approximately $9.8 million of one-time transaction expenses incurred year-to-date, $7.5 million of which were reported in the third quarter. Actual results may differ from present expectations, as noted below.

(1) Depreciation, maintenance, and rent expense are components of operating profit. Amortization of deferred profit on railcars sold from the Rail Group to the Leasing Group is included in the operating profits of the Leasing Group resulting in the recognition of depreciation expense based on the Company's original manufacturing cost of the railcars. Interest expense is not a component of operating profit and includes the effect of hedges. Intercompany interest expense is eliminated in consolidation and arises from Trinity’s previous ownership of a portion of TRIP Holdings’ Senior Secured Notes, which notes were retired in full in May 2013.

Trinity Industries, Inc.
Reconciliation of EBITDA
(in millions)
(unaudited)

“EBITDA” is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization including goodwill impairment charges. EBITDA is not a calculation based on generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are, however, derived from amounts included in the historical statements of operations data. In addition, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indicator of our operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of liquidity. We believe EBITDA assists investors in comparing a company’s performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation and amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. However, the EBITDA measure presented in this press release may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.
