(NYSE:TRN) today announced earnings results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. Financial and Operational Highlights Quarterly total company revenues of $821 million; 65% improvement year over year Quarterly income from continuing operations per common diluted share ("EPS") of $0.29 and quarterly adjusted EPS of $0.26 Lease fleet utilization of 98.1% and FLRD of positive 26.6% at quarter-end Railcar deliveries of 4,325 and new railcar orders of 3,200 Year-to-date cash flow from continuing operations and adjusted free cash flow after investments and dividends ("Adjusted Free Cash Flow") were $216 million and $50 million, respectively 2023 Guidance Industry deliveries of approximately 45,000 railcars Net investment in the lease fleet of $250 million to $350 million Manufacturing capital expenditures of $40 million to $50 million EPS of $1.20 to $1.35 Excludes items outside of our core business operations Management Commentary “Trinity’s third quarter results reflect significantly stronger performance, with revenue growth of 65% as compared to a year ago,” stated Trinity’s Chief Executive Officer and President, Jean Savage. “We believe we are on a good path to end 2023 with favorable financial performance and continued improvement.” “In our Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group, revenues are up 14% year over year, reflecting six quarters of beneficial re-pricing, as well as contributions from our recently acquired businesses in the segment. Our forward-looking metrics continue to point toward consistent strength in lease rates, with an FLRD of 26.6% and lease fleet utilization of 98.1%.” “As previously disclosed, deliveries in the quarter of 4,325 railcars were about 14% below our internal expectations as a result of the border closures and continued congestion,” Ms. Savage continued. “Despite this meaningful impact, operating margins improved in the Rail Products Group segment to 5.2%, excluding gains from insurance recoveries. We expect fourth quarter segment margins to improve sequentially again due to continued efficiency improvement and delivery growth.” Ms. Savage concluded, “We are proud of our third quarter results and the improvement we are seeing in our business. Due to the missed deliveries in the third quarter and related supply chain and efficiency impacts caused by congestion at the Mexico border, we are lowering our full year adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $1.20 to $1.35. This guidance reflects expected meaningful growth in the fourth quarter, and we maintain our conviction in our ability to execute and close the year with solid momentum.” Consolidated Financial Summary Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 Year over Year – Comparison ($ in millions, except per share amounts) Revenues $ 821.3 $ 496.6 Higher volume of external deliveries in the Rail Products Group Operating profit $ 100.2 $ 92.7 Higher external deliveries in the Rail Products Group and improved lease rates in the Leasing Group, partially offset by lower lease portfolio sales volume and increased employee-related and other operating costs Interest expense, net $ 68.8 $ 55.0 Higher overall average debt and higher interest rates during Q3 2023 Net income from continuing operations attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. $ 24.5 $ 29.2 EBITDA (1) $ 177.5 $ 164.3 Effective tax expense rate 18.6 % 22.5 % State tax law changes enacted in Q3 2023 Diluted EPS – GAAP $ 0.29 $ 0.35 Diluted EPS – Adjusted (1) $ 0.26 $ 0.34 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 Year over Year – Comparison (in millions) Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities – continuing operations $ 215.8 $ (52.6 ) Inventory levels stabilized relative to prior year inventory build up Adjusted Free Cash Flow (1) $ 49.5 $ 0.1 Net lease fleet investment $ 237.5 $ 176.3 Returns of capital to stockholders $ 64.7 $ 122.7 2022 included $64 million of share repurchase activity (1) Non-GAAP financial measure.

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.

(3) Represents the change in estimated fair value of additional contingent consideration associated with an acquisition. 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 (used in) 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 (used in) 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) 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.

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.

Our forward-looking metrics continue to point toward consistent strength in lease rates, with an FLRD of 26.6% and lease fleet utilization of 98.1%.” “As previously disclosed, deliveries in the quarter of 4,325 railcars were about 14% below our internal expectations as a result of the border closures and continued congestion,” Ms. Savage continued. “Despite this meaningful impact, operating margins improved in the Rail Products Group segment to 5.2%, excluding gains from insurance recoveries. We expect fourth quarter segment margins to improve sequentially again due to continued efficiency improvement and delivery growth.” Ms. Savage concluded, “We are proud of our third quarter results and the improvement we are seeing in our business. Due to the missed deliveries in the third quarter and related supply chain and efficiency impacts caused by congestion at the Mexico border, we are lowering our full year adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $1.20 to $1.35. This guidance reflects expected meaningful growth in the fourth quarter, and we maintain our conviction in our ability to execute and close the year with solid momentum.” Consolidated Financial Summary Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 Year over Year – Comparison ($ in millions, except per share amounts) Revenues $ 821.3 $ 496.6 Higher volume of external deliveries in the Rail Products Group Operating profit $ 100.2 $ 92.7 Higher external deliveries in the Rail Products Group and improved lease rates in the Leasing Group, partially offset by lower lease portfolio sales volume and increased employee-related and other operating costs Interest expense, net $ 68.8 $ 55.0 Higher overall average debt and higher interest rates during Q3 2023 Net income from continuing operations attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. $ 24.5 $ 29.2 EBITDA (1) $ 177.5 $ 164.3 Effective tax expense rate 18.6 % 22.5 % State tax law changes enacted in Q3 2023 Diluted EPS – GAAP $ 0.29 $ 0.35 Diluted EPS – Adjusted (1) $ 0.26 $ 0.34 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 Year over Year – Comparison (in millions) Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities – continuing operations $ 215.8 $ (52.6 ) Inventory levels stabilized relative to prior year inventory build up Adjusted Free Cash Flow (1) $ 49.5 $ 0.1 Net lease fleet investment $ 237.5 $ 176.3 Returns of capital to stockholders $ 64.7 $ 122.7 2022 included $64 million of share repurchase activity (1) Non-GAAP financial measure.

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.

(3) Represents the change in estimated fair value of additional contingent consideration associated with an acquisition. 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 (used in) 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 (used in) 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) 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.

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.

Generates year-to-date operating and adjusted free cash flow of $216 million and $50 million, respectively Reports quarterly GAAP and adjusted earnings from continuing operations of $0.29 and $0.26 per diluted share, respectively Lease fleet utilization of 98.1% and Future Lease Rate Differential ("FLRD") of positive 26.6% at quarter-end Delivered 4,325 railcars and received orders for 3,200 railcars in the quarter; backlog of $3.6 billion at quarter-end
Trinity Industries, Inc. (NYSE:TRN) today announced earnings results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. Financial and Operational Highlights Quarterly total company revenues of $821 million; 65% improvement year over year Quarterly income from continuing operations per common diluted share ("EPS") of $0.29 and quarterly adjusted EPS of $0.26 Lease fleet utilization of 98.1% and FLRD of positive 26.6% at quarter-end Railcar deliveries of 4,325 and new railcar orders of 3,200 Year-to-date cash flow from continuing operations and adjusted free cash flow after investments and dividends ("Adjusted Free Cash Flow") were $216 million and $50 million, respectively 2023 Guidance Industry deliveries of approximately 45,000 railcars Net investment in the lease fleet of $250 million to $350 million Manufacturing capital expenditures of $40 million to $50 million EPS of $1.20 to $1.35 Excludes items outside of our core business operations Management Commentary “Trinity’s third quarter results reflect significantly stronger performance, with revenue growth of 65% as compared to a year ago,” stated Trinity’s Chief Executive Officer and President, Jean Savage. “We believe we are on a good path to end 2023 with favorable financial performance and continued improvement.” “In our Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group, revenues are up 14% year over year, reflecting six quarters of beneficial re-pricing, as well as contributions from our recently acquired businesses in the segment. Our forward-looking metrics continue to point toward consistent strength in lease rates, with an FLRD of 26.6% and lease fleet utilization of 98.1%.” “As previously disclosed, deliveries in the quarter of 4,325 railcars were about 14% below our internal expectations as a result of the border closures and continued congestion,” Ms. Savage continued. “Despite this meaningful impact, operating margins improved in the Rail Products Group segment to 5.2%, excluding gains from insurance recoveries. We expect fourth quarter segment margins to improve sequentially again due to continued efficiency improvement and delivery growth.” Ms. Savage concluded, “We are proud of our third quarter results and the improvement we are seeing in our business. Due to the missed deliveries in the third quarter and related supply chain and efficiency impacts caused by congestion at the Mexico border, we are lowering our full year adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $1.20 to $1.35.

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. About Trinity Industries Trinity Industries, Inc., headquartered in Dallas, Texas, owns businesses that are leading providers of rail transportation products and services in North America. Our businesses market their railcar products and services under the trade name TrinityRail®. The TrinityRail platform provides railcar leasing and management services; railcar manufacturing, maintenance and modifications; and other railcar logistics products and services.

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; 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 reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies.

(2) Represents interest income accretion related to a seller-financing agreement associated with the sale of certain non-operating assets. (3) Represents the change in estimated fair value of additional contingent consideration associated with an acquisition. 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 (used in) 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 (used in) 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) 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. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities – continuing operations $ 215.8 $ (52.6 ) Proceeds from lease portfolio sales 245.8 514.8 Capital expenditures – manufacturing and other (29.4 ) (25.7 ) Dividends paid to common stockholders (64.7 ) (58.3 ) Equity CapEx for leased railcars (318.0 ) (378.1 ) Adjusted Free Cash Flow After Investments and Dividends $ 49.5 $ 0.1 Capital expenditures – leasing $ 483.3 $ 691.1 Less: Payments to retire debt (1,279.0 ) (1,351.5 ) Proceeds from issuance of debt 1,444.3 1,664.5 Net proceeds from (repayments of) debt 165.3 313.0 Equity CapEx for leased railcars $ 318.0 $ 378.1 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.
