FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this report 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. Forward-looking statements 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 under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in any subsequent reports on Form 10-Q, could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations expressed in forward looking statements:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. Description of Business

As used herein, "GATX," "we," "us," "our," and similar terms refer to GATX Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless indicated otherwise.

We lease, operate, manage, and remarket long-lived, widely-used assets, primarily in the rail market. We report our financial results through three primary business segments: Rail North America, Rail International, and Portfolio Management. Financial results for our tank container leasing business ("Trifleet leasing") are reported in the Other segment.

In the first quarter of 2021, GATX invested directly in aircraft spare engines through its new entity, GATX Engine Leasing ("GEL"). GEL acquired 14 aircraft spare engines for approximately $352 million, including 4 engines for $120 million from the Rolls-Royce & Partners Finance joint ventures (collectively the “RRPF affiliates” or "RRPF"). Financial results for this business are reported in the Portfolio Management segment.

NOTE 2. Basis of Presentation

We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. We have included all of the normal recurring adjustments that we deemed necessary for a fair presentation.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results we may achieve for the entire year ending December 31, 2022. In particular, asset remarketing income does not occur evenly throughout the year. For more information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted


Standard/Description	Effective Date and Adoption Considerations	Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Variable Lease Payments In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842) - Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments, which requires lessors to classify leases as operating leases if they have variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate and would have selling losses if they were classified as finance leases.	The new guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of 2022.	The application of this guidance did not impact our financial statements or related disclosures.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted


Standard/Description	Effective Date and Adoption Considerations	Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional practical expedients and exceptions in the application of GAAP principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates being discontinued as a result of reference rate reform.	Optional expedients are available for adoption from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.	For any contracts that reference LIBOR, we are currently assessing how this standard may be applied to specific contract modifications through December 31, 2022.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)

NOTE 3. Revenue

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

We disaggregate revenue into three categories as presented on our statement of comprehensive income:

Lease Revenue

Lease revenue, which includes operating lease revenue and finance lease revenue, is our primary source of revenue.

Operating Lease Revenue

We lease railcars, aircraft spare engines, tank containers, and other operating assets under full-service and net operating leases. We price full-service leases as an integrated service that includes amounts related to maintenance, insurance, and ad valorem taxes. We do not offer stand-alone maintenance service contracts. Operating lease revenue is within the scope of Topic 842, and we have elected not to separate non-lease components from the associated lease component for qualifying leases. Operating lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying lease. As a result, lease revenue may not be recognized in the same period as maintenance and other costs, which we expense as incurred. Variable rents are recognized when applicable contingencies are resolved. Revenue is not recognized if collectability is not reasonably assured. See "Note 4. Leases".

Finance Lease Revenue

In certain cases, we lease railcars, tank containers, and other operating assets that, at lease inception, are classified as finance leases. In accordance with Topic 842, finance lease revenue is recognized using the interest method, which produces a constant yield over the lease term. Initial unearned income is the amount by which the original lease payment receivable and the estimated residual value of the leased asset exceeds the original cost or carrying value of the leased asset. See "Note 4. Leases".

Marine Operating Revenue

We generate marine operating revenue through shipping services completed by our marine vessels. For vessels operating in a pooling arrangement, we recognize pool revenue based on the right to receive our portion of net distributions reported by the pool, with net distributions being the net voyage revenue of the pool after deduction of voyage expenses. For vessels operating out of the pool, we recognize revenue over time as the performance obligation is satisfied, beginning when cargo is loaded through its delivery and discharge.

Other Revenue

Other revenue is comprised of customer liability repair revenue, termination fees, utilization income, fee income, and other miscellaneous revenues. Select components of other revenue are within the scope of Topic 606. Revenue attributable to terms provided in our lease contracts are variable lease components that are recognized when earned, in accordance with Topic 842.

NOTE 4. Leases

GATX as Lessor

We lease railcars, aircraft spare engines, tank containers, and other operating assets under full-service and net operating leases. We price full-service leases as an integrated service that includes amounts related to maintenance, insurance, and ad valorem taxes. In accordance with applicable guidance, we do not separate lease and non-lease components when reporting revenue for our full-service operating leases. In some cases, we lease railcars and tank containers that, at commencement, are classified as finance leases. For certain operating leases, revenue is based on equipment usage and is recognized when earned. Typically, our leases do not provide customers with renewal options or options to purchase the asset. Our lease agreements do not generally have residual value guarantees. We collect reimbursements from customers for damage to our railcars, as well as additional rental payments for usage above specified levels, as provided in the lease agreements.

GATX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)

The following table shows the components of our lease income (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31
	2022		2021
Operating lease income:
Fixed lease income	$	260.3	$	262.1
Variable lease income	20.8		16.8
Total operating lease income	$	281.1	$	278.9
Finance lease income	2.2		1.7
Total lease income	$	283.3	$	280.6

In accordance with the terms of our leases with customers, we may earn additional revenue, primarily for customer liability repairs. These amounts are reported in other revenue in the statements of comprehensive income and were $22.6 million and $16.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

NOTE 5. Fair Value Disclosure

The assets and liabilities that GATX records at fair value on a recurring basis consisted entirely of derivatives at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

In addition, we review long-lived assets, such as operating assets and facilities, investments in affiliates, and goodwill, for impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable or when assets may be classified as held for sale. We considered the Russia/Ukraine conflict as part of our assessment during the quarter and determined there were no material impacts on our final conclusions. We will continue to monitor our long-lived assets, investments in affiliates, and goodwill for indicators of impairment as this conflict continues to impact the global economy.

Derivative Instruments

Fair Value Hedges

We use interest rate swaps to manage the fixed-to-floating rate mix of our debt obligations by converting a portion of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. For fair value hedges, we recognize changes in fair value of both the derivative and the hedged item as interest expense. We had five instruments outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $300.0 million as of March 31, 2022 with maturities ranging from 2022 to 2027 and five instruments outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $300.0 million as of December 31, 2021 with maturities ranging from 2022 to 2027.

Cash Flow Hedges

We use Treasury rate locks and swap rate locks to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk on anticipated transactions. We also use currency swaps, forwards, and put/call options to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies for certain loans and operating expenses denominated in non-functional currencies. We had twelve instruments outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $132.3 million as of March 31, 2022 that mature in 2022 and one instrument outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $101.7 million as of December 31, 2021 that matures in 2022. Within the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify $1.7 million ($1.2 million after-tax) of net losses on previously terminated derivatives from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense or operating lease expense, as applicable. We reclassify these amounts when interest and operating lease expense on the related hedged transactions affect earnings.

Non-Designated Derivatives

We do not hold derivative financial instruments for purposes other than hedging, although certain of our derivatives are not designated as accounting hedges. We recognize changes in the fair value of these derivatives in other income (expense) immediately.

Certain of our derivative instruments contain credit risk provisions that could require us to make immediate payment on net liability positions in the event that we default on certain outstanding debt obligations. The aggregate fair value of our derivative instruments with credit risk related contingent features that were in a liability position as of March 31, 2022 was $5.1 million. We are not required to post any collateral on our derivative instruments and do not expect the credit risk provisions to be triggered.

GATX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)

In the event that a counterparty fails to meet the terms of an interest rate swap agreement or a foreign exchange contract, our exposure is limited to the fair value of the swap, if in our favor. We manage the credit risk of counterparties by transacting with institutions that we consider financially sound and by avoiding concentrations of risk with a single counterparty. We believe that the risk of non-performance by any of our counterparties is remote.

The following table shows our derivative assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value (in millions):


		Significant Observable Inputs (Level 2)
	Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value March 31, 2022		Fair Value December 31, 2021
Derivative Assets
Interest rate contracts (1)	Other assets	$	0.4	$	1.4

(2) Not designated as hedges.

We value derivatives using a pricing model with inputs (such as yield curves and foreign currency rates) that are observable in the market or that can be derived principally from observable market data. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all derivatives were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. There were no derivatives classified as Level 1 or Level 3.

Other Financial Instruments

Except for derivatives, as disclosed above, GATX has no other assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rent and other receivables, accounts payable, and commercial paper and borrowings under bank credit facilities with maturities under one year approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments. We estimate the fair values of fixed and floating rate debt using discounted cash flow analyses that are based on interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The inputs we use to estimate each of these values are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are directly or indirectly observable inputs.

The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of our other financial instruments (in millions):

NOTE 7. Share-Based Compensation

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we granted 284,400 non-qualified employee stock options, 39,740 restricted stock units, 62,350 performance shares, and 3,769 phantom stock units. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, total share-based compensation expense was $4.7 million and the related tax benefits were $1.2 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, total share-based compensation expense was $6.0 million and the related tax benefits were $1.5 million.

The estimated fair value of our 2022 non-qualified employee stock option awards and related underlying assumptions are shown in the table below:


	2022
Weighted-average estimated fair value	$	34.77
Quarterly dividend rate	$	0.52

NOTE 8. Income Taxes

The following table shows our effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31:


	2022		2021
Effective income tax rate	22.0	%	22.2	%

The difference in the effective rate for the current year compared to the prior year is primarily due to a reduction in the statutory tax rate of Austria in the current year, as well as the mix of pre-tax income among domestic and foreign jurisdictions, which are taxed at different rates.

NOTE 9. Commercial Commitments

We have entered into various commercial commitments, such as guarantees, standby letters of credit, performance bonds, and guarantees related to certain transactions. These commercial commitments require us to fulfill specific obligations in the event of third-party demands. Similar to our balance sheet investments, these commitments expose us to credit, market, and equipment risk.

GATX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)

Accordingly, we evaluate these commitments and other contingent obligations using techniques similar to those we use to evaluate funded transactions.

The following table shows our commercial commitments (in millions):

Standby letters of credit and performance bonds	$	9.0	$	9.0

_______

(1) There were no liabilities recorded on the balance sheet for commercial commitments at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, our outstanding commitments expire in 2022 through 2023. We are not aware of any event that would require us to satisfy any of our commitments.

We are parties to standby letters of credit and performance bonds, which primarily relate to contractual obligations and general liability insurance coverages. No material claims have been made against these obligations, and no material losses are anticipated. We also guarantee payment by an affiliate for final settlement of certain derivatives if they are in a liability position at expiration. The amount of the payment is ultimately determined by the value of the derivative upon final settlement.

NOTE 10. Earnings per Share

We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income available to our common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of our common stock outstanding. We weight shares issued or reacquired for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. Our diluted earnings per share reflect the impacts of our potentially dilutive securities, which include our equity compensation awards.

NOTE 13. Financial Data of Business Segments

The financial data presented below depicts the profitability, financial position, and capital expenditures of each of our business segments.

In the first quarter of 2021, GATX invested directly in aircraft spare engines through its new entity, GEL. GEL acquired 14 aircraft spare engines for approximately $352 million, including 4 engines for $120 million from the RRPF affiliates. Financial results for this business are reported in the Portfolio Management segment.

Rail North America is composed of our operations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Rail North America primarily provides railcars pursuant to full-service leases under which it maintains the railcars, pays ad valorem taxes and insurance, and provides other ancillary services.

Rail International is composed of our operations in Europe ("GATX Rail Europe" or "GRE"), India ("GRI"), and Russia ("Rail Russia"). GRE leases railcars to customers throughout Europe pursuant to full-service leases under which it maintains the railcars and provides value-adding services according to customer requirements.

Portfolio Management is composed primarily of our ownership in the RRPF affiliates, a group of joint ventures with Rolls-Royce plc that lease aircraft spare engines, GEL, our direct ownership of aircraft spare engines that we lease, as well as five liquefied gas carrying vessels (the "Specialized Gas Vessels") and assorted other marine assets.

Other includes our Trifleet leasing business, as well as selling, general and administrative expenses, income taxes, and certain other amounts not allocated to the segments.

Segment profit is an internal performance measure used by the Chief Executive Officer to assess the profitability of each segment. Segment profit includes all revenues, expenses, pre-tax earnings from affiliates, and net gains on asset dispositions that are directly attributable to each segment. We allocate interest expense to the segments based on what we believe to be the appropriate risk-adjusted borrowing costs for each segment. Segment profit excludes selling, general and administrative expenses, income taxes, and certain other amounts not allocated to the segments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

In the first quarter of 2021, GATX invested directly in aircraft spare engines through its new entity, GATX Engine Leasing ("GEL"). GEL acquired 14 aircraft spare engines for approximately $352 million, including 4 engines for $120 million from the Rolls-Royce & Partners Finance joint ventures (collectively the “RRPF affiliates” or "RRPF"). All engines are on long-term leases with airline customers and are managed by RRPF. Financial results for this business are reported in the Portfolio Management segment.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. We based the discussion and analysis that follows on financial data we derived from the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Standards ("GAAP") and on certain other financial data that we prepared using non-GAAP components. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP components to the most comparable GAAP components, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the end of this item.

Russia/Ukraine Conflict

On February 24, 2022, Russian military forces launched a military action in Ukraine. In response to this action, the U.S. and other countries have imposed various economic sanctions and measures against Russia and related persons and entities. Russia has subsequently enacted countermeasures. We are closely monitoring developments and potential impacts from enacted sanctions and measures and will continue to take mitigating actions as appropriate. This conflict and resulting response has impacted the global economy and financial markets and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The impact the conflict is having on our global railcar and tank container leasing businesses was not material to our financial results. Furthermore, the nature of the impact varies across our business units. Rising steel prices have led to higher new asset costs across our rail and tank container leasing businesses, a trend that supports higher lease rates on many existing assets but makes new investments more challenging. Supply chain disruptions and the potential for slower new railcar deliveries may be more impactful in Europe and India. We are monitoring the nature and magnitude of these impacts across our rail and tank container leasing businesses.

We have limited rail operations in Russia, which consists of 380 railcars on lease to three customers and represents approximately $20 million of total investment and less than 1% of GATX's consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Although our railcar leasing business in Russia has not been materially impacted by the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine to date, it is impossible to predict the extent to which the conflict and related sanctions and other measures may impact our business.

RRPF financial results were affected by the conflict, the impact of which is discussed within the Portfolio Management section below.

DISCUSSION OF OPERATING RESULTS

Net income for the first quarter of 2022 was $75.8 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, compared to $36.5 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, in 2021. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included a net negative impact of $11.5 million (net of tax) related to GATX's share of a net impairment charge for aircraft spare engines at the RRPF affiliates and a net benefit of $3.0 million related to a reduction in the corporate income tax rate enacted in Austria (see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the end of this item for further details). Excluding the impact of these items, net income increased $47.8 million compared to the prior year, largely due to higher asset disposition gains at Rail North America.

Rail North America Fleet Data

At March 31, 2022, Rail North America's wholly owned fleet, excluding boxcars, consisted of approximately 100,500 railcars. Fleet utilization, excluding boxcars, was 99.3% at March 31, 2022, compared to 99.2% at the end of the prior quarter, and 97.8% at March 31, 2021. Fleet utilization for approximately 10,300 boxcars was 99.8% at March 31, 2022, compared to 99.7% at the end of the prior quarter, and 97.1% at March 31, 2021. Utilization is calculated as the number of railcars on lease as a percentage of total railcars in the fleet.

During the first quarter of 2022, an average of approximately 100,300 railcars, excluding boxcars, were on lease, compared to 100,700 in the prior quarter and 101,100 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Changes in railcars on lease compared to prior periods are impacted by the timing of deliveries of new railcars purchased under our supply agreements, the number and timing of railcars acquired in the secondary market and the disposition of railcars that were sold or scrapped, as well as the fleet utilization rate.

As of March 31, 2022, leases for approximately 15,300 tank cars and freight cars and approximately 1,200 boxcars are scheduled to expire over the remainder of 2022. These amounts exclude railcars on leases expiring in 2022 that have already been renewed or assigned to a new lessee.

Lease Price Index

Our 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. We calculate the index using the weighted-average lease rate for a group of railcar types that we believe best represents our 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.

During the first quarter of 2022, the renewal rate change of the LPI was positive 9.3%, compared to negative 0.7% in the prior quarter, and negative 18.1% in the first quarter of 2021. Lease terms on renewals for cars in the LPI averaged 30 months in the current quarter, compared to 37 months in the prior quarter, and 30 months in the first quarter of 2021. Additionally, the renewal success rate, which represents the percentage of railcars on expiring leases that were renewed with the existing lessee, was 80.0% in the current quarter, compared to 89.2% in the prior quarter, and 77.7% in the first quarter of 2021. 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.

Comparison of the First Three Months of 2022 to the First Three Months of 2021

Segment Profit

In the first quarter of 2022, segment profit of $120.4 million increased 83.3% compared to $65.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher net gains on asset dispositions. The amount and timing of disposition gains is dependent on a number of factors and will vary from quarter to quarter.

Revenues

In the first quarter of 2022, lease revenue decreased $6.1 million, or 2.9%, resulting from fewer railcars and locomotives on lease. Other revenue increased $5.2 million, driven by higher lease termination fees and higher repair revenue.

Expenses

In the first quarter of 2022, maintenance expense increased $1.5 million, driven by higher assignment-related costs and other repairs, partially offset by the absence of costs incurred at owned maintenance facilities sold in 2021 and 2022. Depreciation expense decreased $2.2 million due to the timing of new railcar investments and dispositions. Operating lease expense decreased $1.8 million, resulting from the purchase of railcars previously on operating leases.

Other Income (Expense)

In the first quarter of 2022, net gain on asset dispositions increased $50.1 million, due to more railcars and locomotives sold and higher net scrapping gains as a result of a higher scrap price per ton. The amount and timing of disposition gains is dependent on a number of factors and will vary from quarter to quarter. Net interest expense decreased $2.6 million, primarily driven by a lower average interest rate, offset by a higher average debt balance.

Investment Volume

During the first first quarter of 2022, investment volume was $280.4 million compared to $109.1 million in the same period in 2021. We acquired 1,622 newly built railcars in the first three months of 2022, compared to 762 newly built railcars and 218 railcars purchased in the secondary market in the same period in 2021.

Our investment volume is predominantly composed of acquired railcars, but also includes certain capitalized repairs and improvements to owned railcars and our maintenance facilities. As a result, the dollar value of investment volume does not necessarily correspond to the number of railcars acquired in any given period. In addition, the comparability of amounts invested and the number of railcars acquired in each period is impacted by the mix of railcars purchased, which may include tank cars and freight cars, as well as newly manufactured railcars or those purchased in the secondary market.

RAIL INTERNATIONAL

Segment Summary

Rail International, composed primarily of GATX Rail Europe ("GRE"), continued to produce strong operating results in the first three months of 2022. Demand for railcars in Europe remained robust, and GRE continued to experience renewal lease rate increases in the quarter.

Our rail operations in India ("GRI") continued to focus on investment opportunities, diversification of its fleet, and developing relationships with customers, suppliers and the Indian Railways.

Our rail operations in Russia consisted of 380 railcars on lease to three customers, and financial results were not material to Rail International's segment profit. Although our limited railcar leasing business in Russia has not been materially impacted by the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine to date, it is impossible to predict the extent to which the conflict and related sanctions and other measures may impact our business.

GRE Fleet Data

At March 31, 2022, GRE's wholly owned fleet consisted of approximately 27,200 railcars. Fleet utilization was 99.0% at March 31, 2022, compared to 98.7% at the end of the prior quarter and 98.2% at March 31, 2021. Utilization is calculated as the number of railcars on lease as a percentage of total railcars in the fleet.

During the first quarter of 2022, an average of approximately 26,900 railcars were on lease, compared to 26,600 in the prior quarter and 25,900 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Changes in railcars on lease compared to prior periods are impacted by the number and timing of new railcars purchased or acquired in the secondary market and the disposition of railcars that were sold or scrapped, as well as the fleet utilization rate.

The following table shows fleet activity for GRE railcars for the quarter ended:

Comparison of the First Three Months of 2022 to the First Three Months of 2021

Foreign Currency

Rail International's reported results of operations are impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar versus foreign currencies in which it conducts business, primarily the euro. In the first quarter of 2022, fluctuations in the value of the euro, relative to the U.S. dollar, negatively impacted lease revenue by approximately $4.2 million and segment profit, excluding other income (expense), by approximately $1.8 million compared to the same period in 2021.

Segment Profit

In the first quarter of 2022, segment profit of $24.9 million increased 14.2% compared to $21.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to more railcars on lease, partially offset by the negative variance of foreign exchange rates.

Revenues

In the first quarter of 2022, lease revenue increased $0.7 million, or 1.0%, due to more railcars on lease at GRE and GRI, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates.

Expenses

In the first quarter of 2022, maintenance expense decreased $1.4 million, due to fewer repairs performed by third-party shops and the impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by higher costs for other repairs. Depreciation expense decreased $0.3 million, as the impact of foreign exchange rates more than offset the impact of new railcars added to the fleet.

Other Income (Expense)

In the first quarter of 2022, net gain on asset dispositions increased $0.7 million, attributable to more railcars sold and higher net scrapping gains, resulting from a higher scrap price per ton. Net interest expense decreased $1.0 million, due to a lower average interest rate, partially offset by a higher average debt balance. Other expense increased $0.4 million, driven by the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on non-functional currency items.

Investment Volume

During the first quarter of 2022 , investment volume was $78.9 million compared to $44.4 million in the same period in 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, GRE acquired 225 newly built railcars (including 69 assembled at the GRE Ostróda, Poland facility) compared to 226 newly built railcars (including 92 assembled at the GRE Ostróda, Poland facility) for the same period in 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, GRI acquired 368 newly built railcars, compared to 136 newly built railcars for the same period in 2021.

Our investment volume is predominantly composed of acquired railcars, but may also include certain capitalized repairs and improvements to owned railcars. As a result, the dollar value of investment volume does not necessarily correspond to the number of railcars acquired in any given period. In addition, the comparability of amounts invested and the number of railcars acquired in each period is impacted by the mix of the various car types acquired, as well as fluctuations in the exchange rates of the foreign currencies in which Rail International conducts business.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Segment Summary

Portfolio Management's segment profit is attributable primarily to income from the RRPF affiliates, a group of 50% owned domestic and foreign joint ventures with Rolls-Royce plc (or affiliates thereof, collectively "Rolls-Royce"), a leading manufacturer of commercial aircraft jet engines. Segment profit included a loss from the RRPF affiliates of $4.8 million for three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to earnings of $9.0 million for the same period in 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, RRPF terminated leases for three aircraft spare engines leased to a Russian airline. The Russian government is prohibiting these engines from leaving the country, therefore RRPF recorded an impairment charge associated with these three engines in the first quarter. GATX's 50% share of this net impairment was $15.3 million ($11.5 million after tax).

The operating environment for the RRPF affiliates continued to be challenging due to the ongoing adverse impact of COVID-19 and the uncertainty due to the Russia/Ukraine conflict. RRPF continues to face pressure on both utilization and lease rates as a result of rent deferral requests granted in the past and the impact from customers having declared bankruptcy or undertaken restructuring processes. RRPF remains focused on preserving a strong liquidity position in the current environment. The risk of ongoing volatility as a result of future COVID-19 disruption and the uncertainty of the Russia/Ukraine conflict persists, and the long-term impact on international air travel and demand for RRPF engines is not known at this time.

In the first quarter of 2021, GATX invested directly in aircraft spare engines through its new entity, GEL. GEL acquired 14 aircraft spare engines for approximately $352 million, including 4 engines for $120 million from the RRPF affiliates. All engines are on long-term leases with airline customers and are managed by RRPF.

Portfolio Management also owns marine assets, consisting of five liquefied gas-carrying vessels (the "Specialized Gas Vessels"). The Specialized Gas Vessels are utilized to transport pressurized gases and chemicals, such as liquefied petroleum gas, liquefied natural gas, and ethylene, primarily on short- and medium-term spot contracts for major oil and chemical customers worldwide. The gas shipping market experienced favorable supply and demand dynamics in the quarter, resulting in strong utilization and solid rates.

Portfolio Management's total asset base was $1,040.1 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $1,048.7 million at December 31, 2021, and $1,067.0 million at March 31, 2021.

RRPF Affiliates Engine Portfolio Data

As of March 31, 2022, the RRPF affiliates' fleet consisted of 398 aircraft spare engines with a net book value of $4,291.8 million, compared to 407 aircraft spare engines with a net book value of $4,399.9 million at the end of the prior quarter and 438 aircraft spare engines with a net book value of $4,656.0 million at March 31, 2021.

Engine utilization for the RRPF affiliates was 92.2% at March 31, 2022, compared to 94.3% at the end of the prior quarter and 92.0% at March 31, 2021. Utilization is calculated as the number of engines on lease as a percentage of total engines in the fleet.

Comparison of the First Three Months of 2022 to the First Three Months of 2021

Segment Profit

In the first three months of 2022, segment loss was $3.9 million, compared to segment profit of $6.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Segment loss in 2022 included a $15.3 million net impairment charge (GATX's 50% share) for aircraft spare engines in Russia that RRPF does not expect to recover. Excluding this loss, results for Portfolio Management were $5.3 million higher than 2021, driven by higher results from our marine operations and GEL business.

Revenues

In the first three months of 2022, lease revenue increased $5.0 million, due to a full quarter of operations at GEL. Marine operating revenue increased $2.6 million, driven by higher charter rates from the Specialized Gas Vessels.

Expenses

In the first three months of 2022, marine operating expense decreased $0.4 million, due to lower bunker fuel expense, partially offset by higher repairs and maintenance costs. Depreciation expense increased $2.3 million, due to a full quarter of depreciation on aircraft spare engines acquired at GEL in the prior year.

Other Income (Expense)

In the first three months of 2022, income from our share of affiliates' earnings decreased $13.8 million, driven by the impairment charge on aircraft spare engines noted above. Absent this, financial results were higher in 2021, due to higher income from operations and remarketing income.

Investment Volume

During the first quarter of 2022 , investment volume was zero, compared to $352.5 million in the same period in 2021. During 2021, GEL acquired 14 aircraft spare engines.

OTHER

Other comprises our Trifleet leasing business, as well as selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), unallocated interest expense, and miscellaneous income and expense not directly associated with the reporting segments and certain eliminations.

Trifleet Leasing Summary

The tank container leasing market continued to be strong in the first quarter, and demand for tank containers was robust. As a result, utilization increased to 91.6% at the end of the quarter.

Trifleet Leasing Tank Container Data

At March 31, 2022, Trifleet leasing's owned and managed fleet consisted of approximately 20,300 tank containers compared to 20,000 in the prior quarter and 19,200 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Fleet utilization was 91.6% at March 31, 2022 compared to 89.2% at the end of the prior quarter and 80.0% at March 31, 2021. Utilization is calculated as the number of tank containers on lease as a percentage of total tank containers in the fleet.

The following table shows fleet statistics for Trifleet's tank containers for the quarter ended:


	March 31 2021		June 30 2021		September 30 2021		December 31 2021		March 31 2022
Ending balance - owned and managed	19,179		19,185		19,703		19,996		20,258
Utilization rate at quarter-end - owned and managed	80.0	%	84.9	%	87.5	%	89.2	%	91.6	%

SG&A, Unallocated Interest and Other

SG&A for the first quarter of 2022 was comparable to the same period in the prior year, as lower employee compensation expenses were offset by higher information services costs.

Unallocated interest expense (the difference between external interest expense and interest expense allocated to the reporting segments) in any year is affected by our consolidated leverage position, the timing of debt issuances and investing activities, and intercompany allocations.

Consolidated Income Taxes

See "Note 8. Income Taxes" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY

We generate a significant amount of cash from operating activities and investment portfolio proceeds. We also access domestic and international capital markets by issuing unsecured or secured debt and commercial paper. We use these resources, along with available cash balances, to fulfill our debt, lease, and dividend obligations, to support our share repurchase programs, and to fund portfolio investments and capital additions. We primarily use cash from operations to fund daily operations. The timing of asset dispositions and changes in working capital impact cash flows from portfolio proceeds and operations. As a result, these cash flow components may vary materially from quarter to quarter and year to year.

As of March 31, 2022, we had an unrestricted cash balance of $649.3 million. We also have a $250 million 3-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the U.S. that matures in 2024 and a $600 million, 5-year unsecured credit facility in the U.S. that matures in 2026, both of which are fully available as of March 31, 2022.

The following table shows our principal sources and uses of cash for the three months ended March 31 (in millions):


	2022		2021
Principal sources of cash
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	100.2	$	76.4

Portfolio proceeds	151.5		47.0

Stock repurchases	(9.0)		—
Dividends	(20.4)		(19.7)
Total	$	(401.3)	$	(565.7)

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of 2022 was $100.2 million, an increase of $23.8 million compared to the same period in 2021. Comparability among reporting periods is impacted by the timing of changes in working capital items. Specifically, lower cash payments for operating leases and interest were partially offset by higher payments for other operating expenses and income taxes.

Portfolio Proceeds

Portfolio proceeds primarily consist of proceeds from sales of operating assets and finance lease receipts. Portfolio proceeds of $151.5 million for the first three months of 2022 increased by $104.5 million from the prior year, primarily due to more railcars and locomotives sold at Rail North America.

Proceeds From Issuance of Debt

Proceeds from the issuance of debt for the first three months ended March 31, 2022 were $396.8 million (net of hedges and debt issuance costs). In the first three months of 2022, we issued $400 million of 10-year unsecured debt.

Portfolio Investments and Capital Additions

Portfolio investments and capital additions primarily consist of purchases of operating assets and capitalized asset improvements. Portfolio investments and capital additions of $370.4 million for the first three months of 2022 decreased $139.1 million compared to 2021, primarily due to the acquisition of 14 aircraft spare engines at GEL in 2021, partially offset by more railcars acquired at Rail North America and Rail International and more tank containers acquired at Trifleet.

Repayments of Debt

We had no debt repayments in the first three months of 2022, compared to $3.2 million in the prior year.

Purchases of Assets Previously Leased

In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we exercised options to acquire 21 railcars previously recorded on the balance sheet as a finance lease for $1.5 million, compared to the exercise of options to acquire 898 railcars previously recorded on the balance sheet as a finance lease for $33.3 million in 2021.

Share Repurchase Program

On January 25, 2019, our board of directors approved a $300.0 million share repurchase program, pursuant to which we are authorized to purchase shares of our common stock in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date, does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of common stock, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The timing of repurchases will be dependent on market conditions and other factors. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we repurchased 89,580 shares of common stock for $9.0 million compared to no share repurchases during the same period in 2021. As of March 31, 2022, $127.8 million remained available under the repurchase authorization.

Material Cash Obligations

The following table shows our material cash obligations, including debt principal and related interest payments, lease payments, and purchase commitments at March 31, 2022 (in millions):

__________

(1) For the remainder of the year.

(2) For floating rate debt, future interest payments are based on the applicable interest rate as of March 31, 2022.

(3) Primarily railcar purchase commitments. The amounts shown for all years are based on management's estimates of the timing, anticipated car types, and related costs of railcars to be purchased under its agreements.

In 2018, we amended a long-term supply agreement with Trinity Rail Group, LLC ("Trinity"), a subsidiary of Trinity Industries, to extend the term to December 2023, and we agreed to purchase 4,800 tank cars (1,200 per year) beginning in January 2020 and continuing through 2023. At March 31, 2022, 3,533 railcars have been ordered pursuant to the amended terms of the agreement, of which 2,661 railcars have been delivered.

In 2018, we entered into a multi-year railcar supply agreement with American Railcar Industries, Inc. ("ARI"), pursuant to which we agreed to purchase 7,650 newly built railcars. The order encompasses a mix of tank and freight cars that are to be delivered over a five-year period, beginning in April 2019 and ending in December 2023. ARI's railcar manufacturing business was acquired by a subsidiary of The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. ("Greenbrier") on July 26, 2019, and such subsidiary assumed all of ARI's obligations under our long-term supply agreement. As of March 31, 2022, 7,650 railcars have been ordered, of which 4,508 have been delivered. The agreement included an option to order additional railcars subject to certain restrictions and, as of March 31, 2022, we have the option to order 1,925 additional railcars during the remaining term of the agreement.

Short-Term Borrowings

We primarily use short-term borrowings as a source of working capital and to temporarily fund differences between our operating cash flows and portfolio proceeds, and our capital investments and debt maturities. We do not maintain or target any particular level of short-term borrowings on a permanent basis. Rather, we will temporarily utilize short-term borrowings at levels we deem appropriate until we decide to pay down these balances.

The following table shows additional information regarding our short-term borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2022:

Credit Lines and Facilities

We have a $600 million, 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the U.S., expiring in May 2026. This credit facility contains two extension options. As of March 31, 2022, the full $600 million was available under this facility. Additionally we have a $250 million 3-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the U.S., expiring in May 2024. This facility also has two one-year extension options. As of March 31, 2022, the full $250 million was available on this facility.

Our European subsidiaries have unsecured credit facilities with an aggregate limit of €35.0 million. As of March 31, 2022, €18.2 million was available under these credit facilities.

Delayed Draw Term Loan

In 2020, we executed a delayed draw term loan agreement (“Term Loan”) which provided for a 3-year term loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million. Advances were allowed from December 14, 2020 through April 17, 2021 pursuant to the terms of the agreement and any amounts borrowed and repaid could not be re-borrowed. The amounts borrowed under the Term Loan agreement are required to be repaid no later than December 14, 2023. As of March 31, 2022, $250 million was drawn on the Term Loan.

Restrictive Covenants

Our $600 million revolving credit facility contains various restrictive covenants, including requirements to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio and an asset coverage test. Some of our bank term loans have the same financial covenants as the facility.

The indentures for our public debt also contain various restrictive covenants, including limitations on liens provisions that restrict the amount of additional secured indebtedness that we may incur. Additionally, certain exceptions to the covenants permit us to incur an unlimited amount of purchase money and nonrecourse indebtedness.

At March 31, 2022, our European rail subsidiaries had outstanding term loans, public debt, and private placement debt balances totaling €730.0 million. The loans are guaranteed by GATX Corporation and are subject to similar restrictive covenants as the revolving credit facility noted above.

At March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants and conditions of all of our credit agreements. We do not anticipate any covenant violations nor do we expect that any of these covenants will restrict our operations or our ability to obtain additional financing.

Credit Ratings

The global capital market environment and outlook may affect our funding options and our financial performance. Our access to capital markets at competitive rates depends on our credit rating and rating outlook, as determined by rating agencies. As of March 31, 2022, our long-term unsecured debt was rated BBB by Standard & Poor's and Baa2 by Moody’s Investor Service and our short-term unsecured debt was rated A-2 by Standard & Poor's and P-2 by Moody’s Investor Service. Our rating outlook from both agencies was stable.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for a summary of our policies.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we compute certain financial measures using non-GAAP components, as defined by the SEC. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and our financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We have provided a reconciliation of our non-GAAP components to the most directly comparable GAAP components.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Components Used in the Computation of Certain Financial Measures

Net Income Measures

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.

The following tables show our net income and diluted earnings per share, excluding tax adjustments and other items (in millions, except per share data):

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Information concerning litigation and other contingencies is described in "Note 12. Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The ongoing military action between Russia and Ukraine could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On February 24, 2022, Russian military forces launched a military action in Ukraine. Although the length, impact and outcome of the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine is highly unpredictable, this conflict could lead to significant market and other disruptions, including extreme volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources, instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability, as well as an increase in cyberattacks and espionage, any of which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a result of the conflict in Ukraine, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and other countries have implemented, and may implement additional, sanctions, export controls and other measures against Russia, Belarus and other countries, regions, officials, individuals or industries in the respective territories. Such sanctions and other measures, as well as the existing and potential further responses from Russia or other countries to such sanctions, tensions and military actions, could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our rail operations in Russia consist of a fleet of 380 railcars on lease to three customers managed by three employees. Although our limited railcar leasing business in Russia has not been materially impacted by the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine to date, it is impossible to predict the extent to which the conflict and related sanctions and other measures may impact our business. Our spare aircraft engine leasing joint ventures with Rolls-Royce plc (“RRPF”) have terminated direct leases for three engines, leased to a Russian airline customer, that are currently prohibited from leaving Russia by the Russian government. RRPF recognized an impairment charge on these three engines in the first quarter of 2022, and while efforts to recover some value through insurance claims is being undertaken, the outcome of these efforts is uncertain. Furthermore, if the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has a longer-term impact on international air travel, or adversely impacts aircraft spare engine leasing, it is possible that the value of other engines in the RRPF portfolio may be negatively affected and additional asset impairments may occur, the magnitude of which is unknown.

Our business must be conducted in compliance with applicable economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations, including those administered and enforced by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the United Nations Security Council and other relevant governmental authorities. Failure to comply with the sanctions, laws and regulations could result in monetary fines or other penalties, which could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any of the above-mentioned factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any such disruptions may also magnify the impact of other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our subsequent reports on Form 10-Q or other filings with the SEC.

Other than as described in this item, there have been no material changes in our risk factors since December 31, 2021. For a discussion of our risk factors, refer to "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On January 25, 2019, our board of directors approved a $300.0 million share repurchase program, pursuant to which we are authorized to purchase shares of our common stock in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date, does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of common stock, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The timing of share repurchases will be dependent on market conditions and other factors. As of March 31, 2022, $127.8 million remained available under the repurchase authorization.

The following is a summary of common stock repurchases completed by month during the first quarter of 2022:
