DALLAS--()--Trinity Industries, Inc. (NYSE:TRN) today announced earnings results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

  • Lease fleet utilization of 96.5% and Future Lease Rate Differential ("FLRD") of positive 2.4% at quarter end
  • New railcar orders of 5,055 and railcar deliveries of 2,470
  • Year-to-date cash flow from continuing operations and total free cash flow after investments and dividends ("Free Cash Flow") were $29 million and $48 million, respectively

  • Manufacturing capital expenditures of $35 million to $45 million
  • EPS of $0.85 to $1.05
    • Excludes gains on insurance recoveries and other items outside of our core business operations

Management Commentary

"Trinity's first quarter results are highlighted by strong orders and deliveries evidenced by a book-to-bill ratio of 2.0x in the quarter," stated Trinity's Chief Executive Officer and President, Jean Savage. "Though labor and supply chain challenges persist, we are confident that deliveries in 2022 will be strong and represent a broad-based industrial recovery for North America."

"In our Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group, utilization continued to improve, and our Future Lease Rate Differential once again improved sequentially and is now a positive 2.4%, a strong leading indicator of demand and future revenue growth. Furthermore, we ended the quarter with a fleet utilization of 96.5%, at pre-pandemic levels, which supports our internal estimates for lease fleet investment in the year."

"In our Rail Products Group, we were especially pleased by the volume of orders and deliveries in the quarter," Ms. Savage continued. "In the first quarter, we delivered orders taken at the bottom of the cycle and managed persistent labor and supply chain challenges, which pressured near-term segment margin. However, we expect to see results in this segment improve in the second half of the year based on the quality of our backlog and strong demand."

Ms. Savage concluded, "As we exit the first quarter, we have clear line of sight to improved operating conditions and expect the financial results in the second half of 2022 and beyond to reflect these trends."

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 reporting 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, such as restructuring activities and the potential financial and operational impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

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 (loss) 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. There were 2.4 million dilutive equivalents from restricted stock and stock options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as we incurred a loss from continuing operations for the period, and any effect on loss per common share would have been antidilutive.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted Operating Results

We have supplemented the presentation of our reported GAAP operating profit, income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, provision (benefit) for income taxes, income (loss) from continuing operations, net income (loss) from continuing operations attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc., and diluted income (loss) 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 gains on dispositions of other property, restructuring activities, interest expense, net, pension plan settlement, the income tax effects of the CARES Act, and certain other transactions or events (as applicable). 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 reporting results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies.

GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding excludes 2.4 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2021, since the Company was in a net loss from continuing operations position for the period. When adjusting for the items above, these shares become dilutive.

Free Cash Flow

Total Free Cash Flow After Investments and Dividends ("Free Cash Flow") is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe 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. 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. 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 leasing capital expenditures, adjusted to exclude net proceeds from (repayments of) debt. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reporting 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 (loss) from continuing operations plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus gains on dispositions of other property, restructuring activities, interest income, and pension plan settlement. 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 reporting results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies.
