  • 2025 first-quarter net income was $78.6 million, or $2.15 per diluted share
  • Rail North America’s fleet utilization remained high at 99.2%; Lease Price Index (LPI) at 24.5%
  • First-quarter investment volume was approximately $300 million
  • Company reiterates 2025 full-year earnings guidance

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- GATX Corporation (NYSE: GATX) today reported 2025 first-quarter net income of $78.6 million, or $2.15 per diluted share, compared to net income of $74.3 million, or $2.03 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2024. The 2024 first-quarter results included a net positive impact of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. Details related to Tax Adjustments and Other Items are provided in the attached Supplemental Information.

"We continued to experience solid demand for our assets globally," said Robert C. Lyons, president and chief executive officer of GATX. "At GATX Rail North America, fleet utilization was 99.2% at quarter end and the renewal success rate remained very strong at 85.1% during the quarter. The renewal lease rate change of GATX’s Lease Price Index was 24.5% with an average renewal term of 61 months. We continued to optimize our fleet by selectively selling railcars in the secondary market, generating over $30 million of remarketing income in the quarter.

"Rail International performed as expected and also maintained high fleet utilization at quarter end. Both GATX Rail Europe and Rail India continued to experience increases in renewal lease rates compared to expiring rates for most car types. Within Engine Leasing, our aircraft spare engine portfolios—both wholly owned and at the joint venture level—produced outstanding first-quarter results as demand for aircraft spare engines remained strong.

“Investment volume during the quarter was approximately $300 million, reflective of the fact that we continued to find attractive opportunities to put capital to work in each of our business segments. Additionally, demand in the secondary market for GATX assets remains robust, as evidenced by the railcar sales activity in the first quarter, and we remain optimistic about continued interest from potential buyers."

Mr. Lyons concluded, “Our first quarter performance was in line with our expectations. Looking forward, the economic outlook is difficult to gauge given macro volatility. However, we remain confident in our current full-year earnings outlook based on the consistent strengths of GATX: long-lived assets on long-term leases to quality customers across diverse end markets, strong and stable cash flows, and the leading commercial and operational platforms across our global businesses. These competitive advantages have been honed and proven over decades, and we believe they provide us with a strong foundation from which we can effectively manage and grow through various conditions. Therefore, we continue to expect 2025 full-year earnings to be $8.30–$8.70 per diluted share, excluding the impact of Tax Adjustments and Other Items.”

RAIL NORTH AMERICA

Rail North America reported segment profit of $88.8 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $90.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. Higher 2025 first-quarter lease revenue was offset by higher interest and maintenance expenses.

As of March 31, 2025, Rail North America’s wholly owned fleet totaled 111,300 cars, including 7,990 boxcars. The following fleet statistics and performance discussion exclude the boxcar fleet.

Fleet utilization was 99.2% at the end of the first quarter of 2025, compared to 99.1% at the end of the prior quarter and 99.4% at the end of the first quarter of 2024. During the first quarter of 2025, the renewal lease rate change of the GATX Lease Price Index (LPI) was 24.5%, compared to 26.7% in the prior quarter and 33.0% in the first quarter of 2024. The average lease renewal term for all cars included in the LPI during the first quarter of 2025 was 61 months, compared to 60 months in the prior quarter and 64 months in the first quarter of 2024. The 2025 first-quarter renewal success rate was 85.1%, compared to 89.1% in the prior quarter and 83.4% in the first quarter of 2024. Rail North America’s investment volume during the first quarter was $227.7 million.

Additional fleet statistics, including information on the boxcar fleet, and macroeconomic data related to Rail North America’s business are provided in the attached Supplemental Information under Rail North America Statistics.

RAIL INTERNATIONAL

Rail International’s segment profit was $25.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $28.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. Compared to the prior year period, 2025 first-quarter results were favorably impacted by more railcars on lease and negatively impacted by higher interest expense and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

As of March 31, 2025, GATX Rail Europe’s (GRE) fleet consisted of over 30,200 railcars. Fleet utilization was 95.1%, compared to 96.1% at the end of the prior quarter and 95.3% at the end of the first quarter of 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, Rail India's fleet consisted of approximately 10,900 railcars. Fleet utilization was 99.6%, compared to 100% at the end of the prior quarter and at the end of the first quarter of 2024.

Additional fleet statistics for GRE and Rail India are provided on the last page of this press release.

ENGINE LEASING

Engine Leasing reported segment profit of $38.6 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to segment profit of $25.7 million in the first quarter of 2024. The 2024 first-quarter segment profit included a net positive impact of $0.6 million from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. Additional details are provided in the attached Supplemental Information under Tax Adjustments and Other Items.

The increase in 2025 first-quarter segment profit was driven by higher earnings at the Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates and more engines under ownership at GATX Engine Leasing, the Company’s wholly owned engine portfolio.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this Earnings Release not based on historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, accordingly, involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and could cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those discussed. These include statements as to our future expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, events, conditions, financial performance, prospects, or future events. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “outlook,” “continue,” “likely,” “will,” “would”, and similar words and phrases. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by us and our management, are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made, and are not guarantees of future performance. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements.

The following factors, in addition to those discussed in our press releases and filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations expressed in forward-looking statements:

 

  • a significant decline in customer demand for our transportation assets or services, including as a result of:
    • prolonged inflation or deflation
    • high interest rates
    • weak macroeconomic conditions and the impact of global trade disruptions on us and our customers, including the impact of tariffs on inflation, supply chains and consumer sentiment
    • weak market conditions in our customers' businesses
    • adverse changes in the price of, or demand for, commodities
    • changes in railroad operations, efficiency, pricing and service offerings, including those related to "precision scheduled railroading" or labor strikes or shortages
    • changes in, or disruptions to, supply chains
    • availability of pipelines, trucks, and other alternative modes of transportation
    • changes in conditions affecting the aviation industry, including global conflicts, geographic exposure and customer concentrations
    • customers' desire to buy, rather than lease, our transportation assets
    • other operational or commercial needs or decisions of our customers
  • inability to maintain our transportation assets on lease at satisfactory rates and term length due to reduced demand or oversupply of transportation assets in the market or other changes in supply and demand
  • competitive factors in our primary markets, including existing or new competitors with significantly greater financial resources, higher credit ratings or lower costs of capital
  • higher costs associated with increased assignments of our transportation assets following non-renewal of leases, customer defaults, and compliance maintenance programs or other maintenance initiatives
  • events having an adverse impact on assets, customers, or regions where we have a concentrated investment exposure
  • financial and operational risks associated with long-term purchase commitments for transportation assets
  • reduced opportunities to generate asset remarketing income
  • inability to successfully consummate and manage ongoing acquisition and divestiture activities

 

 

 

  • reliance on Rolls-Royce in connection with our aircraft spare engine leasing businesses, and the risks that certain factors that adversely affect Rolls-Royce could have an adverse effect on our businesses
  • potential obsolescence of our assets
  • risks related to our international operations and expansion into new geographic markets, including laws, regulations, tariffs, taxes, treaties or trade barriers affecting our activities in the countries where we do business
  • failure to successfully negotiate collective bargaining agreements with the unions representing a substantial portion of our employees
  • inability to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel, including key management personnel
  • inability to maintain and secure our information technology infrastructure from cybersecurity threats and related disruption of our business
  • exposure to damages, fines, criminal and civil penalties, and reputational harm arising from a negative outcome in litigation, including claims arising from an accident involving transportation assets
  • changes in, or failure to comply with, laws, rules, and regulations
  • environmental liabilities and remediation costs
  • operational, functional and regulatory risks associated with climate matters, severe weather events and natural disasters
  • U.S. and global political conditions and the impact of increased geopolitical tension and wars on domestic and global economic conditions in general, including supply chain challenges and disruptions
  • prolonged inflation or deflation
  • fluctuations in foreign exchange rates
  • deterioration of conditions in the capital markets, reductions in our credit ratings, or increases in our financing costs
  • inability to obtain cost-effective insurance
  • changes in assumptions, increases in funding requirements or investment losses in our pension and post-retirement plans

(1)

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 and diluted earnings per share 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.

(2)

In 2022, we made the decision to sell the Specialized Gas Vessels. We have recorded gains and losses associated with the subsequent impairments and sales of these assets. As of December 31, 2023, all vessels had been sold.

_________

(1)

GATX's Lease Price Index (LPI) is an internally-generated business indicator that measures renewal activity for our North American railcar fleet, excluding boxcars. The LPI calculation includes all renewal activity based on a 12-month trailing average, and the renewals are weighted by the count of all renewals over the 12 month period. The average renewal lease rate change is reported as the percentage change between the average renewal lease rate and the average expiring lease rate. The average renewal lease term is reported in months and reflects the average renewal lease term in the LPI.

(2)

The renewal success rate represents the percentage of railcars on expiring leases that were renewed with the existing lessee. The renewal success rate is an important metric because railcars returned by our customers may remain idle or incur additional maintenance and freight costs prior to being leased to new customers.

(3)

Excludes boxcar fleet.

(4)

As reported and revised by the Federal Reserve.

(5)

As reported by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).

(6)

As reported by the Railway Supply Institute (RSI).
