CHICAGO, Jan. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GATX Corporation (NYSE:GATX) today reported 2016 fourth quarter net income of $30.9 million or $0.77 per diluted share, compared to net income of $58.2 million or $1.37 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2015.  The fourth-quarter 2016 and fourth-quarter 2015 results include net negative impacts from Tax Adjustments and Other Items of $0.37 per diluted share and $0.07 per diluted share, respectively.

Net income for the full-year 2016 was $257.1 million or $6.29 per diluted share, compared to $205.3 million or $4.69 per diluted share in the prior year.  The 2016 full-year results include a net benefit from Tax Adjustments and Other Items of $0.52 per diluted share, and the 2015 full-year results include a net negative impact from Tax Adjustments and Other Items of $0.68 per diluted share.

Details related to Tax Adjustments and Other Items are provided in the attached Supplemental Information.

Brian A. Kenney, president and chief executive officer of GATX stated, “GATX achieved record earnings per share again in 2016 despite the rail industry experiencing a second year of reduced carloadings and a large oversupply of railcars. Our well-diversified fleet, quality customer base, and outstanding service helped Rail North America maintain high utilization of 98.9% at year end. We continued to optimize our fleet by selling railcars into a robust secondary market, with Rail North America remarketing income eclipsing $46 million in 2016. We also continued to improve the efficiency of our maintenance network, in part by successfully executing our strategy of servicing more of our railcars within our owned network.

“Lease rates experienced significant pressure during the year. The fourth quarter renewal lease rate change of GATX’s Lease Price Index decreased by 36.2%. In response to the lower lease rate environment, we successfully shortened the term of lease renewals, achieving an average renewal term of 29 months in the fourth quarter of 2016.

“Within Rail International, GATX Rail Europe continued to produce solid operating results and stable utilization of 95.6% at year end. In 2016, American Steamship Company transported less tonnage than in 2015, as difficult conditions for our Great Lakes’ customers continued. In Portfolio Management, the Rolls-Royce Partners Finance affiliates produced another year of outstanding financial results."

Mr. Kenney added, “Many of the market challenges we faced in 2016 continue as we move into 2017. As a result, we currently expect 2017 earnings to be in the range of $4.40 - $4.60 per diluted share. Our guidance represents a level of performance that is considerably higher than in prior downturns. This illustrates our success over the last several years of stretching lease terms to lock in attractive lease rates; optimizing the fleet through secondary market acquisitions and divestitures; improving the efficiency of our maintenance network; and, ultimately, focusing our business on our core strengths.

“In the fourth quarter of 2016, there were some improved metrics in the North American rail industry as well as some new pockets of opportunity with certain customers. Absent these positive signs becoming a trend, the downturn in the North American rail industry may be more prolonged than in prior cycles. However, regardless of economic and industry fundamentals, we believe that GATX is well positioned to outperform our competitors, pursue growth opportunities, and provide excellent service to our customers across the globe.”

RAIL NORTH AMERICA
Rail North America reported segment profit of $48.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $98.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Full-year 2016, Rail North America reported segment profit of $321.9 million, compared to $379.5 million in the same period of 2015.

The decrease in quarterly segment profit was partially attributable to lower revenues resulting from fewer cars on lease. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2016, Rail North America reported a non-cash asset impairment loss of $29.8 million related to certain older cars in flammable service that have been permanently and negatively impacted by regulatory changes. Following an assessment of the market’s response to the regulatory changes, GATX has determined that it will likely retire the subject cars earlier than originally anticipated. This impairment is included in Tax Adjustments and Other Items in the attached Supplemental Information.

The decline in full-year 2016 segment profit was the result of higher operating expenses, higher ownership costs, lower disposition gains on owned assets, and the aforementioned non-cash asset impairment loss. This was partially offset by higher revenues due to new railcar additions.

At December 31, 2016, Rail North America’s wholly owned fleet was approximately 122,000 cars, including more than 17,700 boxcars. The following fleet statistics exclude the boxcar fleet.

Fleet utilization was 98.9% at the end of the fourth quarter, compared to 99.0% at the end of the prior quarter and 99.1% at 2015 year end. During the fourth quarter, the GATX Lease Price Index (“LPI”), a weighted average lease renewal rate for a group of railcars representative of Rail North America’s fleet, showed a negative 36.2% renewal rate change. This compares to negative 21.4% in the prior quarter and positive 20.5% in the fourth quarter of 2015. The average lease renewal term for all cars included in the LPI during the fourth quarter was 29 months, compared to 29 months in the prior quarter and 43 months in the fourth quarter of 2015. The fourth-quarter renewal success rate was 64.7%, compared to 74.1% at the end of the prior quarter and 81.8% at 2015 year end. For full-year 2016, the LPI was negative 20.3% and the average renewal term was 32 months, compared to positive 32.2% and 54 months in 2015. Asset remarketing income for the year was $46.3 million and total investment volume was $495.6 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 $14.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $13.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Rail International reported full-year segment profit of $63.0 million in 2016, compared to $70.1 million in 2015. While more railcars were on lease at GATX Rail Europe (“GRE”), higher maintenance, predominantly driven by higher wheelset costs, and lower gains on asset dispositions negatively affected full-year segment profit.

At the end of 2016, GRE’s fleet consisted of approximately 23,100 cars and utilization was 95.6%, compared to 95.0% at the end of the third quarter and 95.8% at 2015 year end.

Additional fleet statistics for GATX Rail Europe are provided on the last page of this press release.

AMERICAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY
American Steamship Company (“ASC”) reported a segment loss of $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to segment profit of $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Segment profit for full-year 2016 was $10.1 million, compared to $15.1 million in 2015. In the fourth quarter of 2016, ASC reported $5.0 million of expense related to an increased accrual for pending litigation and costs associated with the scheduled return of a leased vessel in 2017.

ASC operated 11 vessels during the year and carried approximately 25.4 million net tons of cargo, compared to 13 vessels which carried 26.5 million net tons in 2015. The decrease in tonnage and segment profit was driven by reduced coal and limestone demand.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Portfolio Management reported segment profit of $17.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $40.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decline in fourth-quarter 2016 segment profit was the result of lower gains on asset dispositions and lower income from Rolls-Royce Partners Finance (“RRPF”) affiliates due to timing of engine dispositions.

For full-year 2016, Portfolio Management reported segment profit of $136.9 million compared to $49.8 million in 2015. The increase was predominantly driven by residual sharing fees and a residual sharing settlement fee. The settlement fee is included in Tax Adjustments and Other Items in the attached Supplemental Information.

(*) In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we provide certain non-GAAP financial information. Specifically, we exclude the effects of certain tax adjustments and other items for purposes of presenting net income, diluted earnings per share, and return on equity because we believe these items are not attributable to our business operations. Management utilizes this information 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.

(*) We disclose total on- and off-balance sheet assets because certain operating assets are accounted for as operating leases and are not recorded on the balance sheet. We include these leased-in assets in our calculation of total assets (as adjusted) because it gives investors a more comprehensive representation of the magnitude of the assets we operate and that drive our financial performance. In addition, this calculation of total assets (as adjusted) provides consistency with other non-financial information we disclose. We also provide information regarding our leverage ratios, which are expressed as a ratio of debt (including off-balance sheet debt) to equity. The off-balance sheet debt amount in this calculation is the equivalent of the off-balance sheet asset amount. Reporting this corresponding off-balance sheet debt amount provides investors and other users of our financial statements with a more comprehensive representation of our debt obligations, leverage, and capital structure.

 _________
(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. The index is calculated using the weighted average lease rate for a group of railcar types that GATX believes best represents its overall North American fleet, excluding boxcars. The average renewal lease rate change is reported as the percentage change between the average renewal lease rate and the average expiring lease rate, weighted by fleet composition. The average renewal lease term is reported in months and reflects the average renewal lease term of railcar types in the LPI, weighted by fleet composition.
(2) Excludes boxcar fleet.
(3) As reported and revised by the Federal Reserve.
(4) As reported by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
(5) As reported by the Railway Supply Institute (RSI).
