FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GATX CORPORATION REPORTS 2023 FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS
Demand for railcars remains strong across all regions
First-quarter investment volume totals $387 million
Company reiterates 2023 full-year earnings guidance
 
CHICAGO, April 25, 2023 - GATX Corporation (NYSE:GATX) today reported 2023 first-quarter net income of $77.4 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, compared to net income of $75.8 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2022. The 2023 first-quarter results included a net negative impact of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. The 2022 first-quarter results included a net negative impact of $8.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. Details related to Tax Adjustments and Other Items are provided in the attached Supplemental Information.
 
"Consistent with our expectations coming into the year, demand across our global railcar fleets remains robust," said Robert C. Lyons, president and chief executive officer of GATX. "At Rail North America, fleet utilization remained high at 99.3% at the end of the first quarter and the renewal success rate during the quarter was 77.9%. The renewal lease rate change of GATX’s Lease Price Index was positive 34.3%. We continue to capitalize on current market conditions by increasing renewal lease rates and lengthening lease terms, thereby locking in high-quality, long-term cash flow.

"During the first quarter, we continued to identify attractive investment opportunities in North America. In addition to successfully placing deliveries of new railcars under our existing and new supply agreements, we acquired over 1,000 railcars in the secondary market that are on long-term leases with attractive rates.
 
"Rail International performed well, with Rail Europe experiencing higher renewal lease rates versus expiring rates for most car types. Furthermore, we are making progress on our goal of growing and diversifying our fleets in Europe and India, adding a combined total of nearly 1,000 newly built cars in the first quarter. At Portfolio Management, results were driven by improved performance at our Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates as global air travel continues to recover."

Mr. Lyons concluded, “Based on our solid start in the first quarter, our 2023 full-year earnings estimate remains unchanged at $6.50–$6.90 per diluted share, excluding the impact of Tax Adjustments and Other Items.”
 
RAIL NORTH AMERICA
Rail North America reported segment profit of $95.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $120.4 million in the first quarter of 2022. Lower segment profit was primarily the result of lower gains on asset dispositions, partially offset by higher lease revenue.
 
At March 31, 2023, Rail North America’s wholly owned fleet was composed of approximately 110,000 cars, including approximately 8,800 boxcars. The following fleet statistics and performance discussion exclude the boxcar fleet.
 
Fleet utilization was 99.3% at the end of the first quarter, compared to 99.5% at the end of the prior quarter and 99.3% at the end of the first quarter of 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, the GATX Lease Price Index (LPI), a weighted-average lease renewal rate for a group of railcars representative of Rail North America’s fleet, was positive 34.3%. This compares to an LPI of positive 29.7% in the prior quarter and positive 9.3% in the first quarter of 2022. The average lease renewal term for all cars included in the LPI during the first quarter was 37 months, compared to 34 months in the prior quarter and 30 months in the first quarter of 2022. The 2023 first-quarter renewal success rate was 77.9%, compared to 85.7% in the prior quarter, and 80.0% in the first quarter of 2022. Rail North America’s investment volume during the first quarter was $296.5 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 $23.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $24.9 million in the first quarter of 2022. Compared to the prior year period, results were favorably impacted by more railcars on lease and negatively impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In the first quarter of 2023, we completed the sale of Rail Russia.

At March 31, 2023, GATX Rail Europe’s (GRE's) fleet consisted of approximately 28,500 cars. Utilization was 98.5%, compared to 99.3% at the end of the prior quarter and 99.0% at the end of the first quarter of 2022. Additional fleet statistics for GRE are provided on the last page of this press release.
 
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Portfolio Management reported segment profit of $28.3 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to segment loss of $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2022. The 2023 first-quarter segment profit included a net negative impact of $1.6 million from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. The 2022 first-quarter segment profit included a net negative impact of

$15.3 million from Tax Adjustments and Other Items. Additional details are provided in the attached Supplemental Information under Tax Adjustments and Other Items. Excluding these impacts, higher 2023 first-quarter segment profit was driven by a higher share of affiliates earnings from the Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates, due to improved performance across the existing engine leasing portfolio and higher remarketing income.

_________
(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 the third quarter of 2022, we made the decision to exit our rail business in Russia ("Rail Russia). In the first quarter of 2023, we sold Rail Russia and recorded a gain on the final sale of this business.
(3)    In the second quarter of 2022, we made the decision to sell the Specialized Gas Vessels. In the first quarter of 2023, we recorded losses associated with these assets.
(4)    Deferred income tax adjustment due to an enacted corporate income tax rate reduction in Austria in 2022.
(5)    Impairment losses related to aircraft spare engines in Russia that RRPF does not expect to recover.

_________
(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)    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.
