Insights
The reported financial results for Trinity Industries demonstrate a robust year-over-year growth in revenue and earnings per share (EPS), both GAAP and adjusted. The significant increase in full year revenues from $1.97 billion to nearly $3 billion reflects a strong demand in the railcar manufacturing sector, likely driven by an uptick in industrial activities and logistics needs. The improvement in EPS from $1.02 to $1.43 for GAAP and from $0.94 to $1.38 for adjusted EPS indicates operational efficiency and effective cost management, despite the challenges faced in the Rail Products Group due to border closures.
Their lease fleet utilization rate of 97.5% and a positive Future Lease Rate Differential (FLRD) of 23.7% suggest a healthy leasing environment, which is crucial for sustained revenue streams. The FLRD, which indicates the trend in lease rates, being positive, suggests that the company is able to secure higher lease rates upon renewal, which could contribute to future profitability.
From an investment perspective, the company's guidance for 2024, with an expected EPS range of $1.30 to $1.50, might be conservative considering the strong performance in 2023. This could reflect management's caution in the face of potential market challenges or a strategic under-promise to over-deliver approach. The planned net investment in the lease fleet indicates a commitment to growth, which could be an attractive point for long-term investors.
Trinity Industries' performance and strategic realignment suggest an adaptation to market conditions and an effort to capitalize on their leasing operations. The company's backlog of $3.2 billion at year-end provides visibility into future revenues, although it is down from the previous year. This could indicate a cooling in demand or a strategic shift in operations to focus on profitability over volume. The railcar industry is closely tied to macroeconomic factors such as trade volumes, commodity prices and industrial production, all of which appear to be favoring Trinity at this time.
The decision to re-align maintenance services to support lease fleet optimization and growth in services indicates a strategic pivot towards more integrated solutions for customers, potentially creating a competitive edge. This shift might also reflect industry trends where service integration is becoming more critical for differentiation.
Investors should also note the company's response to external challenges, such as the border closure impacting deliveries, which, despite causing short-term disruptions, did not prevent the company from achieving a substantial operating profit increase. This resilience could be a positive signal for the company's ability to manage future headwinds.
Trinity Industries' financial results can be partially attributed to the broader economic environment, which has seen an increase in industrial production and freight traffic, boosting demand for railcars. The company's substantial growth in operating profit and adjusted free cash flow reflects a well-managed response to these economic conditions. However, the lowered guidance for 2024 EPS could be indicative of anticipated economic headwinds or a normalization of the post-pandemic surge in demand.
The company's effective tax expense rate of 6.0% for 2023, down from 21.8% the previous year, likely benefited from changes in tax law and state apportionment, which may not be replicable in future years. This tax benefit contributed to the net income increase and should be considered a non-recurring factor when evaluating the company's future earnings potential.
Trinity's performance must also be viewed in the context of rising interest rates, as indicated by the increase in net interest expense. This could affect the cost of capital and investment decisions moving forward, potentially slowing down growth in highly capital-intensive industries like railcar manufacturing and leasing.

Management Commentary
“Trinity Industries ended the year with revenue up
“In our Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group, we maintained an impressive Future Lease Rate Differential through the year, and rising lease rates drove our revenue up
“In 2024, we expect to see continued improvement in our business. We are introducing 2024 EPS annual guidance of
Ms. Savage concluded, “We view ourselves as a leasing company that is enabled by our manufacturing and services businesses. As a result, we are re-aligning our segments starting in 2024 and moving our maintenance business into the Railcar Leasing & Services segment. This allows us to better leverage our maintenance capabilities to support lease fleet optimization and growth in our services business.”

In December 2023, our Board of Directors declared an increase of approximately
8% to our quarterly dividend from$0.26 $0.28 - Effective January 1, 2024, the Company modified its organizational structure to better leverage our maintenance services capabilities to support lease fleet optimization and to grow our services and parts businesses. In connection with this organizational update, we will align the maintenance services business, which is currently reported in the Rail Products Group, to be presented within our leasing business. Consequently, beginning January 1, 2024, we will report our operating results in two reportable segments: (1) Railcar Leasing and Services Group, formerly the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group, and (2) Rail Products Group. These changes will have no impact to our previously reported consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. All prior period segment results will be recast to reflect these changes and present results on a comparable basis in future filings, beginning with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

(2) FLRD calculates the implied change in lease rates for railcar leases expiring over the next four quarters. The FLRD assumes that these expiring leases will be renewed at the most recent quarterly transacted lease rates for each railcar type. We believe the FLRD is useful to both management and investors as it provides insight into the near-term trend in lease rates. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have included financial measures compiled in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and certain non-GAAP measures in this earnings press release to provide management and investors with additional information regarding our financial results. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. For each non-GAAP financial measure, a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure has been included in the accompanying tables. When forward-looking non-GAAP measures are provided, quantitative reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are not provided because management cannot, without unreasonable effort, predict the timing and amounts of certain items included in the computations of each of these measures. These factors include, but are not limited to: the product mix of expected railcar deliveries; the timing and amount of significant transactions and investments, such as lease portfolio sales, capital expenditures, and returns of capital to stockholders; and the amount and timing of certain other items outside the normal course of our core business operations.

Trinity has certain unvested restricted stock awards that participate in dividends on a nonforfeitable basis and are therefore considered to be participating securities. Consequently, diluted net income attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. per common share is calculated under both the two-class method and the treasury stock method, and the more dilutive of the two calculations is presented.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures
(in millions, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
Adjusted Operating Results
We have supplemented the presentation of our reported GAAP operating profit, income from continuing operations before income taxes, provision (benefit) for income taxes, income from continuing operations, net income from continuing operations attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc., and diluted income from continuing operations per common share attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. with non-GAAP measures that adjust the GAAP measures to exclude the impact of certain selling, engineering, and administrative expenses; gains on dispositions of other property; restructuring activities, net; interest expense, net; the income tax effects of the CARES Act; and certain other transactions or events (as applicable), described in the footnotes to the table below. These non-GAAP measures are derived from amounts included in our GAAP financial statements and are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the tables below. Management believes that these measures are useful to both management and investors for analyzing the performance of our business without the impact of certain items that are not indicative of our normal business operations. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies.

Pre-Tax Return on Equity
Pre-Tax Return on Equity (“Pre-Tax ROE”) is defined as a ratio for which (i) the numerator is calculated as income or loss from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude the effects of the provision or benefit for income taxes, net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, and certain other adjustments, described in the footnotes to the table below, which include certain selling, engineering, and administrative expenses; gains on dispositions of other property; restructuring activities, net; and interest expense, net; and (ii) the denominator is calculated as average stockholders’ equity (which excludes noncontrolling interest), adjusted to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. In the following table, the numerator and denominator of our Pre-Tax ROE calculation are reconciled to income from continuing operations and total stockholders’ equity, respectively, which are the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management believes that Pre-Tax ROE is a useful measure to both management and investors as it provides an indication of the economic return on the Company’s investments over time. Pre-Tax ROE is used in consideration of the Company’s expected tax position in the near-term. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Adjusted Free Cash Flow After Investments and Dividends ("Adjusted Free Cash Flow") is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe Adjusted Free Cash Flow is useful to both management and investors as it provides a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing our ability to fund our operations and repay our debt. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, in the following table. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations as computed in accordance with GAAP, plus cash proceeds from lease portfolio sales, less capital expenditures for manufacturing, dividends paid, and Equity CapEx for leased railcars. Equity CapEx for leased railcars is defined as capital expenditures for our lease fleet, adjusted to exclude net proceeds from (repayments of) recourse and non-recourse debt. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
“EBITDA” is defined as income from continuing operations plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus certain selling, engineering, and administrative expenses; gains on dispositions of other property; restructuring activities, net; and interest income. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures; however, the amounts included in these calculations are derived from amounts included in our GAAP financial statements. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are reconciled to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, in the following table. This information is provided to assist management and investors in making meaningful comparisons of our operating performance between periods. We believe EBITDA is a useful measure for analyzing the performance of our business. We also believe that EBITDA is commonly reported and widely used by investors and other interested parties as a measure of a company’s operating performance and debt servicing ability because it assists in comparing performance on a consistent basis without regard to capital structure, depreciation or amortization (which can vary significantly depending on many factors). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income as indicators of our operating performance, or as alternatives to operating cash flows as measures of liquidity. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies.
