Consolidated Results

Trinity Industries, Inc. reported net income attributable to Trinity stockholders of $138.2 million, or $0.86 per common diluted share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014. Net income for the same quarter of 2013 was $112.8 million, or $0.72 per common diluted share. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased 32% to a record $1.7 billion compared to revenues of $1.3 billion for the same quarter of 2013.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company reported record net income attributable to Trinity stockholders of $678.2 million, or $4.19 per common diluted share. In 2013, the Company reported net income of $375.5 million, or $2.38 per common diluted share. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $6.2 billion, a 41% increase compared to revenues of $4.4 billion in 2013.

“During 2014, we utilized the strengths of our integrated business model to achieve record financial results, with all of our business segments reporting higher revenue and profit," said Timothy R. Wallace, Trinity’s Chairman, CEO and President. "Our Rail Group received a record number of orders in 2014, and its $7.2 billion order backlog provides significant production visibility. Our Leasing Group achieved record financial results in 2014 and generated strong earnings and cash flow from strategic railcar leasing transactions completed during the year. We invested over $700 million in acquisitions within our Energy Equipment Group, which added complementary product lines that provide long-term growth opportunities."

Business Group Results

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Rail Group reported record revenues and operating profit of approximately $1.1 billion and $194.2 million, respectively, resulting in increases compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 of 25% and 23%, respectively. The increase in revenues and profit was due to higher deliveries, improved pricing, and a more favorable product mix. The Rail Group shipped 8,460 railcars and received orders for 17,770 railcars during the fourth quarter. The Rail Group backlog increased to a record $7.2 billion at December 31, 2014, representing a record 61,035 railcars, compared to a backlog of $6.1 billion as of September 30, 2014, representing 51,725 railcars.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group reported revenues of $238.0 million compared to revenues of $190.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2013. Operating profit for this Group was $96.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to operating profit of $85.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in revenues and operating profit was due to higher rental rates as well as increased railcar sales from the lease fleet. Supplemental information for the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group is provided in the following tables.

During the fourth quarter, the Company sold $114.8 million of railcars to Element Financial Corporation ("Element") under the strategic alliance announced in 2013 with $67.8 million reported as sales of railcars owned one year or less at the time of sale and $47.0 million reported in the Rail Group as external revenue. With these railcar sales, the Leasing Group has completed the sale of the first $1 billion of leased railcars to Element and anticipates fulfilling the $2 billion alliance in 2015.

The Inland Barge Group reported revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 of $167.8 million compared to revenues of $142.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Operating profit for this Group was $25.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to $27.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in revenues compared to the same quarter last year was due to higher delivery volumes and product mix changes. The Inland Barge Group received orders of $130.3 million during the quarter, and as of December 31, 2014 had a backlog of $437.9 million compared to a backlog of $475.4 million as of September 30, 2014.

The Energy Equipment Group reported record revenues of $284.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to revenues of $188.5 million in the same quarter of 2013. Revenues related to acquisitions completed in 2014 totaled $89.0 million for the fourth quarter. Operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased to $26.9 million compared to $17.2 million in the same quarter last year. The backlog for structural wind towers as of December 31, 2014 was $473.5 million compared to a backlog of $528.6 million as of September 30, 2014.

Revenues in the Construction Products Group were $116.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to revenues of $117.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Group recorded an operating loss of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to an operating profit of $7.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Revenues and operating profit decreased for the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to lower volumes in our Highway Products business.

Cash and Liquidity

At December 31, 2014, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities of $962.9 million. When combined with capacity under committed credit facilities, the Company had approximately $1.6 billion of available liquidity at the end of the fourth quarter.

Share Repurchase

The Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under its share repurchase authorization during the quarter. During 2014, the Company purchased approximately $31.5 million of shares of common stock, leaving $218.5 million remaining under its current authorization through December 31, 2015.

Convertible Notes

The Company’s $450 million convertible notes have a dilutive impact on the calculation of earnings per share when the average stock price for the quarter exceeds the conversion price. The average stock price for the fourth quarter was $33.50 per share compared to the conversion price in effect during the quarter of $25.22 per share, the result of which added 4.4 million additional shares to the Company’s diluted share count, reducing earnings per share by $0.03 per share. For the full year, approximately 5.6 million shares were added to the Company’s dilutive share count, reducing earnings per share by $0.16 per share. The Company’s 2015 earnings guidance, as discussed in the Earnings Outlook, assumes an annual weighted average diluted share count of 156.5 million shares, which includes 4.5 million shares from the convertible notes. The dilutive impact of the convertible notes assumes an average annual stock price of $33.75 per share and reduces full year 2015 earnings per share by approximately $0.12 per share.

Highway Products Litigation

On October 20, 2014, a jury in a federal district court returned a verdict against the Company in a False Claims Act (the “Act”) case and awarded $175 million in damages. The jury's damages award, to the extent it survives the Company's challenge in post-trial motions or on appeal, is automatically trebled under the Act to $525 million. Additionally, the district court is required to impose civil penalties for each violation of the Act (which penalties are not automatically trebled). The district court has not yet entered a final judgment or determined a civil penalty amount. The Company maintains that the allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously defend its positions in post-trial motions and on appeal. Pending entry of a final judgment and completion of the Company’s post-trial and appellate activities in this matter, the Company currently does not believe that a loss is probable, therefore no accrual has been included in the consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Outlook

For the full year of 2015, the Company anticipates earnings per common diluted share of between $4.00 and $4.40 compared to full year earnings per common diluted share of $4.19 in 2014. The Company expects the level of quarterly earnings per share in 2015 to be relatively consistent throughout the year. As a reminder, first quarter 2014 results included $0.72 per common diluted share of earnings related to sales of new and existing leased railcars to Element. As a result, we do expect first quarter 2015 earnings per common diluted share to be below last year's level.

Actual results in 2015 may differ from present expectations and could be impacted by a number of factors including, among others, fluctuations in prices of commodities that our customers produce and transport; potential costs or timing of pending tank car regulatory changes; expenses related to current and potential litigation in our Highway Products business; various labor situations in the U.S., including those causing the temporary shut-down of oil refineries as well as interruptions of imports and exports on the West Coast; the operating leverage and efficiencies that can be achieved by the Company's manufacturing businesses; the level of sales and profitability of railcars; and the impact of weather conditions on our operations and delivery schedules.

Trinity is required to utilize the two-class method of accounting when calculating earnings per share as a result of unvested restricted shares that have non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are, therefore, considered to be a participating security. The unvested restricted shares are excluded from the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the purposes of determining earnings per share. The two-class method results in a lower earnings per share than is calculated from the face of the income statement. See Earnings Per Share Calculation table below.

(1) Depreciation, maintenance, and rent expense are components of operating profit. Amortization of deferred profit on railcars sold from the Rail Group to the Leasing Group is included in the operating profits of the Leasing Group resulting in the recognition of depreciation expense based on the Company's original manufacturing cost of the railcars. Interest expense is not a component of operating profit and includes the effect of hedges. Intercompany interest expense is eliminated in consolidation and arises from Trinity’s previous ownership of a portion of TRIP Holdings’ Senior Secured Notes, which notes were retired in full in May 2013.

Trinity Industries, Inc.Reconciliation of EBITDA(in millions)(unaudited)

“EBITDA” is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization including goodwill impairment charges. EBITDA is not a calculation based on generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are, however, derived from amounts included in the historical statements of operations data. In addition, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indicator of our operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of liquidity. We believe EBITDA assists investors in comparing a company’s performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation and amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. However, the EBITDA measure presented in this press release may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.
