Rhea-AI Summary

GATX Corporation reported a third-quarter net income of $48.2 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, up from $37.2 million or $1.03 per diluted share in Q3 2019. However, total net income for the first nine months decreased to $132.4 million from $138.7 million year-over-year. Fleet utilization remained high at 98.2%. The company faced a negative impact of $12.3 million due to tax adjustments and a decline in lease revenue in Rail North America, down from $60.9 million in Q3 2019 to $56.1 million. Portfolio Management saw a significant gain of $24.0 million from aircraft spare engine transactions.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GATX Corporation (NYSE:GATX) today reported 2020 third-quarter results. Results for the third quarter and nine months ending Sept. 30 are summarized below:

 Three Months Ended
September 30
 Nine Months Ended
September 30
Per Diluted Share2020 2019 2020 2019
Income from Continuing Operations$1.36  $1.03  $3.74  $3.79 
Income from Discontinued Operations(0.01) 0.22  0.03  0.43 
Total$1.35  $1.25  $3.77  $4.22 

2020 third-quarter net income from continuing operations was $48.2 million or $1.36 per diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $37.2 million or $1.03 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2019. Net income from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2020 was $132.4 million or $3.74 per diluted share, compared to $138.7 million or $3.79 per diluted share in the prior year period. The 2020 third-quarter and year-to-date results include a net negative impact of $12.3 million or $0.35 per diluted share related to the elimination of a previously announced tax rate reduction in the United Kingdom. The 2019 year-to-date results include a net deferred tax benefit of $2.8 million or $0.07 per diluted share related to an enacted foreign tax rate reduction in Alberta, Canada. Details related to these items are provided in the attached Supplemental Information under Tax Adjustments and Other Items.

In the second quarter of 2020, GATX completed the sale of American Steamship Company. As a result, this segment is reported as discontinued operations and prior periods have been recast to conform to the current presentation.

“Despite continued challenges in our markets, GATX performed well in the third quarter," said Brian A. Kenney, president and chief executive officer of GATX. “Rail North America’s fleet utilization remained high at 98.2% and our renewal success rate was 58.1% during the quarter. While absolute lease rates were flat to slightly higher for most car types compared to the second quarter, the North American railcar leasing market remains negatively affected by a persistent oversupply of railcars and weakness in certain markets—exacerbated by COVID-19’s economic impact. Consequently, GATX’s Lease Price Index was negative 29.4% during the third quarter. Despite higher fleet churn as a result of our lower renewal success, our maintenance cost performance was better than expected due to continued efficiency gains and lower than anticipated railroad and boxcar repairs during the quarter.

“Rail International continues to perform well. GATX Rail Europe's fleet utilization remained high at 98.2% and renewal lease rates for most car types increased slightly versus the expiring rates. GATX Rail India’s fleet utilization is 100% and its fleet growth trajectory is resuming absent further COVID-19 disruptions.

"In Portfolio Management, our Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates benefited from a large gain on a transaction involving the refinancing and sale of a group of aircraft spare engines. RRPF operations remain challenged by the severe drop in demand for global air travel, particularly on international and other long-haul routes."

Mr. Kenney concluded, “The global economic recovery remains tenuous due to a potential COVID-19 resurgence. In light of this uncertainty, we remain focused on keeping our employees safe, continuing our excellent commercial and operational execution, and pursuing attractively-priced growth opportunities for our shareholders.”

RAIL NORTH AMERICA
Rail North America reported segment profit of $56.1 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $60.9 million in the third quarter of 2019. Lower segment profit was primarily a result of lower lease revenue, partially offset by higher gains on asset dispositions. Year to date, Rail North America reported segment profit of $178.1 million, compared to $215.1 million in the same period of 2019. The decline in year-to-date 2020 results was predominantly driven by lower lease revenue.

At Sept. 30, 2020, Rail North America’s wholly owned fleet was comprised of over 118,100 cars, including approximately 14,750 boxcars. The following fleet statistics and performance discussion exclude the boxcar fleet.

Fleet utilization was 98.2% at the end of the third quarter, compared to 98.7% at the end of the prior quarter and 99.2% at the end of the third quarter of 2019. During the third quarter, the renewal lease rate change of the GATX Lease Price Index (LPI) was negative 29.4%. This compares to negative 28.0% in the prior quarter and negative 7.7% in the third quarter of 2019. The average lease renewal term for all cars included in the LPI during the third quarter was 29 months, compared to 31 months in the prior quarter and 40 months in the third quarter of 2019. Rail North America’s investment volume during the third quarter was $204.1 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 $24.0 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $19.9 million in the third quarter of 2019. Higher segment profit was predominately driven by more railcars on lease. Rail International reported segment profit of $57.9 million year-to-date 2020, compared to $56.0 million for the same period of 2019. Year-to-date results were favorably impacted by more railcars on lease and negatively impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

At Sept. 30, 2020, GATX Rail Europe’s (GRE) fleet consisted of approximately 26,000 cars. Utilization was 98.2%, compared to 98.4% at the end of the prior quarter and 99.4% at the end of the third quarter of 2019. Additional fleet statistics for GRE are provided on the last page of this press release.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Portfolio Management reported segment profit of $44.3 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $10.7 million in the third quarter of 2019. Segment profit year-to-date 2020 was $83.1 million, compared to $34.9 million for the same period of 2019. Favorable results in the comparative periods were predominantly driven by higher remarketing income at the Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates, and in particular a large gain in the third quarter of 2020 from a transaction involving the refinancing and sale of a group of aircraft spare engines.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In the second quarter of 2020, GATX completed the sale of American Steamship Company (ASC). The ASC business segment is accounted for as discontinued operations. In the third quarter 2020, GATX recorded final post-closing adjustments of $0.3 million after-tax related to the sale. Results for discontinued operations are summarized below:

(*) 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, 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.

(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. GATX calculates the index 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.
