CHICAGO, Jan. 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GATX Corporation (NYSE:GATX) today reported 2018 fourth quarter net income of $49.2 million or $1.30 per diluted share, compared to net income of $342.1 million or $8.83 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2017. The fourth-quarter 2018 and 2017 results include impacts from Tax Adjustments and Other Items; 2018 includes a net positive impact of $0.46 per diluted share, and 2017 includes a net positive impact of $8.15 per diluted share.
Net income for the full-year 2018 was $211.3 million or $5.52 per diluted share, compared to $502.0 million or $12.75 per diluted share in the prior year. The 2018 and 2017 full-year results include net positive benefits from Tax Adjustments and Other Items of $0.30 per diluted share and $8.05 per diluted share, respectively. Details related to Tax Adjustments and Other Items are provided in the attached Supplemental Information.
Brian A. Kenney, president and chief executive officer of GATX stated, “Our financial results in 2018 were significantly better than we anticipated. Capitalizing on an improved railcar leasing environment, Rail North America realized higher fleet utilization, a higher renewal success rate, and higher lease renewal rates versus our original expectations. Maintenance expense was also lower than anticipated in 2018, partially due to the difficulty that we experienced in getting customers to send their tank cars in for scheduled tank qualification work, thus deferring this expense into 2019. While we saw broad increases in market lease rates in 2018, revenue was still pressured as the renewal lease rate change for GATX’s Lease Price Index was negative 9.8% for the year.
“We executed on our strategy to invest aggressively in cost-advantaged railcars. In 2018, we entered into two long-term railcar supply agreements, for a total of 12,450 railcars to be delivered from 2019 – 2023, which will allow us to grow our asset base to meet the needs of our customers. We invested more than $730 million in the fleet in 2018, including the acquisition of a competitor’s portfolio of approximately 3,100 railcars. We continued to capitalize on strong North American secondary market demand by optimizing the fleet through railcar sales, generating significant remarketing income.
Rail International also outperformed our expectations. Utilization at GATX Rail Europe increased to a historic high of 98.8% due to an improving operating environment. Investment in India gained momentum, allowing us to double the size of our fleet in 2018 while also investing in new car types with new customers. Within Portfolio Management, our Rolls-Royce Partners Finance affiliates had another strong year. Lastly, American Steamship earned significantly higher segment profit in 2018 by operating the fleet more efficiently and capitalizing on late season demand opportunities.
Mr. Kenney added, “Despite economic and political uncertainty, we currently expect a stable railcar leasing market in North America in 2019. Although absolute lease rates moved higher in 2018, we expect continued revenue pressure on the existing fleet as the average rate for expiring leases continues to move higher. We also expect higher railcar maintenance expense as tank car qualification work increases in 2019. Combined with higher interest expense due to increased interest rates and the impact of the new lease accounting standard, we expect Rail North America to produce lower segment profit in 2019.
“Rail International is expected to increase segment profit in 2019, primarily due to more cars on lease in an improved market. Portfolio Management should generate higher segment profit in 2019 as our Rolls-Royce Partners Finance affiliates continue to produce strong results. Lastly, ASC is expected to produce slightly higher segment profit in 2019, primarily due to increased tonnage.
“Based on these factors, we currently expect 2019 earnings to be in the range of $4.85-$5.15 per diluted share, which would be another excellent year for GATX. This range incorporates a net negative non-cash impact of $4.0 million, or approximately $0.11 per diluted share, resulting from the adoption of the new lease accounting standard effective in 2019.”
RAIL NORTH AMERICA
Rail North America reported segment profit of $66.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $61.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Full-year 2018, Rail North America reported segment profit of $307.9 million, compared to $299.3 million in 2017. The increase in quarter and year-to-date 2018 segment profit was primarily the result of lower railcar maintenance expense and higher remarketing income partially offset by lower revenues. At December 31, 2018, Rail North America’s wholly owned fleet was approximately 122,000 cars, including more than 16,000 boxcars. The following fleet statistics exclude the boxcar fleet.
Fleet utilization was 99.4% at the end of the fourth quarter, compared to 99.2% at the end of the prior quarter and 98.2% at 2017 year end. During the fourth quarter, the renewal lease rate change of the GATX Lease Price Index (“LPI”) was negative 0.9%. This compares to negative 11.5% in the prior quarter and negative 32.4% in the fourth quarter of 2017. The average lease renewal term for all cars included in the LPI during the fourth quarter was 43 months, compared to 33 months in the prior quarter and 36 months in the fourth quarter of 2017. The fourth-quarter renewal success rate was 88.9%, compared to 82.9% at the end of the prior quarter and 74.8% at 2017 year end.
For full-year 2018, the renewal lease rate change of the LPI was negative 9.8% and the average renewal term was 38 months, compared to negative 28.2% and 33 months in 2017. The renewal success rate for 2018 was 82.9% compared to 74.7% in 2017. Asset remarketing income for the year was $66.1 million and total investment volume was $737.4 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 $16.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $18.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Rail International reported full-year segment profit of $68.6 million in 2018, compared to $68.8 million in 2017. The year-to-date 2018 results include $9.5 million of expense ($6.4 million after-tax) related to the closure of GATX Rail Europe’s (“GRE”) railcar maintenance facility in Germany. Absent these costs, the full-year 2018 segment profit was favorable to 2017 and was primarily driven by more railcars on lease.
At the end of 2018, GRE’s fleet consisted of approximately 23,000 cars and utilization was 98.8%, compared to 98.4% at the end of the prior quarter and 96.8% at 2017 year end.
Additional fleet statistics for GRE are provided on the last page of this press release.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Portfolio Management reported segment profit of $4.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The decrease in fourth quarter profit is primarily due to lower remarketing income at the Rolls Royce and Partner Finance affiliates (“RRPF”).
For full-year 2018, Portfolio Management reported segment profit of $38.7 million compared to $56.3 million in 2017. The decline in 2018 year-to-date segment profit is primarily attributable to lower contributions from the marine portfolio and lower residual sharing gains partially offset by stronger operating performance at RRPF. The 2017 year-to-date segment profit also includes a net pre-tax gain of approximately $1.8 million ($1.1 million after-tax) associated with the planned exit of the majority of the marine investments.
AMERICAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY
American Steamship Company (“ASC”) reported a segment profit of $12.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Segment profit for full-year 2018 was $33.0 million, compared to $24.5 million in 2017. The increase in quarterly and full year segment profit is primarily attributable to increased operational efficiency, favorable operating conditions, and strong demand.
ASC operated 11 vessels during the year and carried approximately 26.2 million net tons of cargo, compared to 12 vessels which carried 27.8 million net tons in 2017.
LEASE ACCOUNTING IMPACT
GATX will adopt ASC 842, Leases, effective January 1, 2019. Upon adoption of this new guidance, the amortization of deferred gains associated with our existing sale-leaseback financing arrangements will be eliminated, resulting in an increase in operating lease expense in 2019 and beyond. For 2019, we estimate a negative non-cash impact of approximately $4.0 million or $0.11 per diluted share. We expect to share more information with respect to the adoption of the new leasing standard in our 2018 Form 10-K filing.

(1) Shareholders’ equity used in this calculation excludes the impact of the Tax Act.
(*) In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we provide certain non-GAAP financial information. 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.

(*) We include 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.
