FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements in this report not based on historical facts are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, accordingly, involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and could cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those discussed. These include statements as to our future expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, events, conditions, financial performance, prospects, or future events. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "could," "expect," "intend," "plan," "seek," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "outlook," "continue," "likely," "will," "would", and similar words and phrases. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by us and our management, are inherently uncertain. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made, and are not guarantees of future performance. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements.
A detailed discussion of the known material risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The following factors, in addition to those discussed under "Risk Factors", in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations expressed in forward looking statements:
•the duration and effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic, including adverse impacts on our business, personnel, operations, commercial activity, supply chain, the demand for our transportation assets, the value of our assets, our liquidity, and macroeconomic conditions •exposure to damages, fines, criminal and civil penalties, and reputational harm arising from a negative outcome in litigation, including claims arising from an accident involving our transportation assets •inability to maintain our transportation assets on lease at satisfactory rates due to oversupply of assets in the market or other changes in supply and demand •a significant decline in customer demand for our transportation assets or services, including as a result of: ◦weak macroeconomic conditions ◦weak market conditions in our customers' businesses ◦adverse changes in the price of, or demand for, commodities ◦changes in railroad operations, efficiency, pricing and service offerings, including those related to "precision scheduled railroading" ◦changes in supply chains ◦availability of pipelines, trucks, and other alternative modes of transportation ◦changes in conditions affecting the aviation industry, including reduced demand for air travel, geographic exposure and customer concentrations ◦other operational or commercial needs or decisions of our customers ◦customers' desire to buy, rather than lease, our transportation assets •higher costs associated with increased assignments of our transportation assets following non-renewal of leases, customer defaults, and compliance maintenance programs or other maintenance initiatives •events having an adverse impact on assets, customers, or regions where we have a concentrated investment exposure | •financial and operational risks associated with long-term purchase commitments for transportation assets •reduced opportunities to generate asset remarketing income •inability to successfully consummate and manage ongoing acquisition and divestiture activities •reliance on Rolls-Royce in connection with our aircraft spare engine leasing businesses, and the risks that certain factors that adversely affect Rolls-Royce could have an adverse effect on those businesses •fluctuations in foreign exchange rates •failure to successfully negotiate collective bargaining agreements with the unions representing a substantial portion of our employees •asset impairment charges we may be required to recognize •deterioration of conditions in the capital markets, reductions in our credit ratings, or increases in our financing costs •changes in banks' inter-lending rate reporting practices and the phasing out of LIBOR •competitive factors in our primary markets, including competitors with significantly lower costs of capital •risks related to our international operations and expansion into new geographic markets, including laws, regulations, tariffs, taxes, treaties or trade barriers affecting our activities in the countries where we do business •changes in, or failure to comply with, laws, rules, and regulations •inability to obtain cost-effective insurance •environmental liabilities and remediation costs •potential obsolescence of our assets •inadequate allowances to cover credit losses in our portfolio •operational, functional and regulatory risks associated with severe weather events, climate change and natural disasters •inability to maintain and secure our information technology infrastructure from cybersecurity threats and related disruption of our business | |||||||

GATX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. Description of Business
As used herein, "GATX," "we," "us," "our," and similar terms refer to GATX Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless indicated otherwise.
We lease, operate, manage, and remarket long-lived, widely-used assets, primarily in the rail market. We report our financial results through three primary business segments: Rail North America, Rail International, and Portfolio Management. Historically, we also reported financial results for American Steamship Company ("ASC") as a fourth segment.
In the first quarter of 2021, GATX began investing directly in aircraft spare engines through its new entity, GATX Engine Leasing ("GEL"). During the first quarter of 2021, GEL acquired 14 aircraft spare engines for approximately $352 million, including 4 engines for $120 million from the Rolls-Royce & Partners Finance joint ventures (collectively the “RRPF affiliates” or "RRPF"). Financial results for this business are reported in the Portfolio Management segment.
On December 29, 2020, GATX acquired Trifleet Leasing Holding B.V. ("Trifleet"), the fourth largest tank container lessor in the world. Financial results for this business are reported in the Other segment. See "Note 3. Business Combinations" for additional information.
On May 14, 2020, we completed the sale of our ASC business, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. As a result, ASC is now reported as discontinued operations, and financial data for the ASC segment has been segregated and presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See "Note 16. Discontinued Operations" for additional information.
NOTE 2. Basis of Presentation
We prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, our unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. We have included all of the normal recurring adjustments that we deemed necessary for a fair presentation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2021 presentation, including the separate presentation and reporting of discontinued operations.
Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results we may achieve for the entire year ending December 31, 2021. In particular, asset remarketing income does not occur evenly throughout the year. For more information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

NOTE 3. Business Combinations
On December 29, 2020, GATX acquired Trifleet Leasing Holding B.V. ("Trifleet"), the fourth largest tank container lessor in the world, for approximately €165 million ($203.2 million) in cash. Transaction costs associated with this acquisition were approximately $2.7 million. Headquartered in the Netherlands with offices worldwide, Trifleet owns and manages a fleet of tank containers leased to a diverse customer base in the chemical, industrial gas, energy, food, cryogenic and pharmaceutical industries, as well as to tank container operators.
We initially allocated $146.2 million and $57.0 million to tangible net assets and goodwill in the preliminary purchase accounting for the acquisition. The initial allocation of the purchase price is incomplete with respect to certain assets and liabilities acquired. The purchase price allocation will be finalized during the measurement period, which will not exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. The acquisition was not significant in relation to our financial results and, therefore, pro-forma financial information has not been presented.
NOTE 4. Revenue
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
We disaggregate revenue into three categories as presented on our income statement:
Lease Revenue
Lease revenue, which includes operating lease revenue and finance lease revenue, is our primary source of revenue.
Operating Lease Revenue
We lease railcars, tank containers, aircraft spare engines, and other operating assets under full-service and net operating leases. We price full-service leases as an integrated service that includes amounts related to maintenance, insurance, and ad valorem taxes. We do not offer stand-alone maintenance service contracts. Operating lease revenue is within the scope of Topic 842, and we have elected not to separate non-lease components from the associated lease component for qualifying leases. Operating lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying lease. As a result, lease revenue may not be recognized in the same period as maintenance and other costs, which we expense as incurred. Variable rents are recognized when applicable contingencies are resolved. Revenue is not recognized if collectability is not reasonably assured. See "Note 5. Leases".
Finance Lease Revenue
In certain cases, we lease railcars, tank containers, and other operating assets that, at lease inception, are classified as finance leases. In accordance with Topic 842, finance lease revenue is recognized using the interest method, which produces a constant

GATX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
yield over the lease term. Initial unearned income is the amount by which the original lease payment receivable and the estimated residual value of the leased asset exceeds the original cost or carrying value of the leased asset. See "Note 5. Leases".
Marine Operating Revenue
We generate marine operating revenue through shipping services completed by our marine vessels. For vessels operating in a pooling arrangement, we recognize pool revenue based on the right to receive our portion of net distributions reported by the pool, with net distributions being the net voyage revenue of the pool after deduction of voyage expenses. For vessels operating out of the pool, we recognize revenue over time as the performance obligation is satisfied, beginning when cargo is loaded through its delivery and discharge.
Other Revenue
Other revenue is comprised of customer liability repair revenue, termination fees, utilization income, fee income, and other miscellaneous revenues. Select components of other revenue are within the scope of Topic 606. Revenue attributable to terms provided in our lease contracts are variable lease components that are recognized when earned, in accordance with Topic 842.
NOTE 5. Leases
GATX as Lessor
We lease railcars, tank containers, aircraft spare engines, and other operating assets under full-service and net operating leases. We price full-service leases as an integrated service that includes amounts related to maintenance, insurance, and ad valorem taxes. In accordance with applicable guidance, we do not separate lease and non-lease components when reporting revenue for our full-service operating leases. In some cases, we lease railcars and tank containers that, at commencement, are classified as finance leases. For certain operating leases, revenue is based on equipment usage and is recognized when earned. Typically, our leases do not provide customers with renewal options or options to purchase the asset. Our lease agreements do not generally have residual value guarantees. We collect reimbursements from customers for damage to our railcars, as well as additional rental payments for usage above specified levels, as provided in the lease agreements.
The following table shows the components of our lease income (in millions):
| Three Months Ended June 30 | Six Months Ended June 30 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | 2021 | 2020 | ||||||||||||||||||||

Variable lease income | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Total operating lease income | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
Finance lease income | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Total lease income | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
In accordance with the terms of our leases with customers, we may earn additional revenue, primarily for customer liability repairs. These amounts are reported in other revenue in the statements of comprehensive income and were $18.9 million and $35.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and $23.7 million and $46.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
NOTE 6. Investments in Affiliated Companies
8
GATX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
In accordance with Regulation S-X, we must assess if any of our investments in affiliated companies is a “significant subsidiary”. Although we determined that Alpha Partners Leasing Limited, which is part of the RRPF affiliates, did not trigger any of the significance tests as of June 30, 2021, we determined that at least one of the significance tests was triggered as of June 30, 2020. As a result, and in accordance with Rule 10-01(b) of Regulation S-X, the following table shows summarized unaudited financial information for Alpha Partners Leasing Limited (in millions):

| Net income (1) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) Net income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021 excludes the impact from the change in the enacted corporate income tax rate increase in the United Kingdom in 2021.
NOTE 7. Fair Value Disclosure
The assets and liabilities that GATX records at fair value on a recurring basis consisted entirely of derivatives at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
In addition, we review long-lived assets, such as operating assets and facilities, investments in affiliates, and goodwill, for impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable or when assets may be classified as held for sale. We considered COVID-19 as part of our assessment during the quarter and determined there were no material impacts on our final conclusions. We will continue to monitor our long-lived assets, investments in affiliates, and goodwill for indicators of impairment as COVID-19 continues to impact the global economy.
Derivative Instruments
Fair Value Hedges
We use interest rate swaps to manage the fixed-to-floating rate mix of our debt obligations by converting a portion of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. For fair value hedges, we recognize changes in fair value of both the derivative and the hedged item as interest expense. We had three instruments outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million as of June 30, 2021 with maturities in 2022 and five instruments outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $300.0 million as of December 31, 2020 with maturities ranging from 2021 to 2022.
Cash Flow Hedges
We use Treasury rate locks and swap rate locks to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk on anticipated transactions. We also use currency swaps, forwards, and put/call options to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies for certain loans and operating expenses denominated in non-functional currencies. We had nine instruments outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $305.0 million as of June 30, 2021 that mature in 2021 and one instrument outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $105.7 million as of December 31, 2020 that matures in 2021. Within the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify $1.8 million ($1.3 million after-tax) of net losses on previously terminated derivatives from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense or operating lease expense, as applicable. We reclassify these amounts when interest and operating lease expense on the related hedged transactions affect earnings.
Non-Designated Derivatives
We do not hold derivative financial instruments for purposes other than hedging, although certain of our derivatives are not designated as accounting hedges. We recognize changes in the fair value of these derivatives in other (income) expense immediately.
Certain of our derivative instruments contain credit risk provisions that could require us to make immediate payment on net liability positions in the event that we default on certain outstanding debt obligations. We had no derivative instruments with credit risk related contingent features that were in a liability position as of June 30, 2021. We are not required to post any collateral on our derivative instruments and do not expect the credit risk provisions to be triggered.

GATX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
In the event that a counterparty fails to meet the terms of an interest rate swap agreement or a foreign exchange contract, our exposure is limited to the fair value of the swap, if in our favor. We manage the credit risk of counterparties by transacting with institutions that we consider financially sound and by avoiding concentrations of risk with a single counterparty. We believe that the risk of non-performance by any of our counterparties is remote.
The following tables show our derivative assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value (in millions):

We value derivatives using a pricing model with inputs (such as yield curves and foreign currency rates) that are observable in the market or that can be derived principally from observable market data. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, all derivatives were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. There were no derivatives classified as Level 1 or Level 3.

Other Financial Instruments
Except for derivatives, as disclosed above, GATX has no other assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, rent and other receivables, accounts payable, and commercial paper and borrowings under bank credit facilities with maturities under one year approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments. We estimate the fair values of fixed and floating rate debt using discounted cash flow analyses that are based on interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The inputs we use to estimate each of these values are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are directly or indirectly observable inputs.

NOTE 9. Share-Based Compensation
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we granted 281,900 non-qualified employee stock options, 34,020 restricted stock units, 56,290 performance shares, and 9,064 phantom stock units. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, total share-based compensation expense was $3.9 million and $9.4 million and the related tax benefits were $1.0 million and $2.4 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, total share-based compensation expense was $3.7 million and $5.9 million and the related tax benefits were $0.9 million and $1.5 million.

| 2021 | 2020 | ||||||||||
| Effective income tax rate for continuing operations | % | % | |||||||||
The difference in the effective rate for the current year compared to the prior year is primarily due to incremental benefits associated with share-based compensation in the current year, as well as the mix of pre-tax income among domestic and foreign jurisdictions, which are taxed at different rates.
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which includes modifications to the interest expense limitation threshold and net operating loss carryback period and utilization limitation, the acceleration of payments for alternative minimum tax credit refunds, and the deferral of employer payroll tax payments. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on our effective tax rate.

NOTE 11. Commercial Commitments
We have entered into various commercial commitments, such as guarantees, standby letters of credit, performance bonds, and guarantees related to certain transactions. These commercial commitments require us to fulfill specific obligations in the event of third-party demands. Similar to our balance sheet investments, these commitments expose us to credit, market, and equipment risk. Accordingly, we evaluate these commitments and other contingent obligations using techniques similar to those we use to evaluate funded transactions.

NOTE 15. Financial Data of Business Segments
The financial data presented below depicts the profitability, financial position, and capital expenditures of each of our business segments.
We lease, operate, manage, and remarket long-lived, widely-used assets, primarily in the rail market. We report our financial results through three primary business segments: Rail North America, Rail International, and Portfolio Management. Historically, we also reported financial results for American Steamship Company ("ASC") as a fourth segment.
In the first quarter of 2021, GATX began investing directly in aircraft spare engines through its new entity, GEL. During the first quarter of 2021, GEL acquired 14 aircraft spare engines for approximately $352 million, including 4 engines for $120 million from the RRPF affiliates. Financial results for this business are reported in the Portfolio Management segment.
On December 29, 2020, GATX acquired Trifleet Leasing Holding B.V. ("Trifleet"), the fourth largest tank container lessor in the world. Financial results for this business are reported in the Other segment. See "Note 3. Business Combinations" for additional information.
On May 14, 2020, we completed the sale of our ASC business, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. As a result, ASC is now reported as discontinued operations, and financial data for the ASC segment has been segregated and presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See "Note 16. Discontinued Operations" for additional information.
Rail North America is composed of our operations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Rail North America primarily provides railcars pursuant to full-service leases under which it maintains the railcars, pays ad valorem taxes and insurance, and provides other ancillary services.
Rail International is composed of our operations in Europe ("GATX Rail Europe" or "GRE"), India ("GRI"), and Russia ("Rail Russia"). GRE leases railcars to customers throughout Europe pursuant to full-service leases under which it maintains the railcars and provides value-adding services according to customer requirements.
Portfolio Management is composed primarily of our ownership in the RRPF affiliates, a group of joint ventures with Rolls-Royce plc that lease aircraft spare engines, and GEL, our direct ownership of aircraft spare engines that we lease, as well as five liquefied gas carrying vessels (the "Specialized Gas Vessels") and assorted other marine assets.
Other includes Trifleet operations, as well as selling, general and administrative expenses, income taxes, and certain other amounts not allocated to the segments.
Segment profit is an internal performance measure used by the Chief Executive Officer to assess the profitability of each segment. Segment profit includes all revenues, expenses, pre-tax earnings from affiliates, and net gains on asset dispositions that are directly attributable to each segment. We allocate interest expense to the segments based on what we believe to be the appropriate risk-adjusted borrowing costs for each segment. Segment profit excludes selling, general and administrative expenses, income taxes, and certain other amounts not allocated to the segments.

NOTE 16. Discontinued Operations
On May 14, 2020, we completed the sale of our ASC business. The proceeds of $258.3 million in cash included $1.1 million held in escrow, set aside to satisfy potential indemnification claims for one year after the sale date. The final proceeds of $1.1 million were received in May 2021.
Accordingly, the results of operations from our ASC business and gain on sale of ASC are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as “discontinued operations, net of taxes” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. As a result of the completion of the sale in May 2020, there were no operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. There were no related assets and liabilities classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 in the accompanying balance sheets. We recognized a net gain of $3.6 million, net of taxes, during the second quarter of 2020 in connection with this sale.
Results of discontinued operations reflect directly attributable revenues, operating and ownership expenses, and income taxes. Results also reflect intercompany allocations for interest. Interest expense was $0.7 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Interest was allocated consistent with GATX's risk-adjusted approach for continuing operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
We lease, operate, manage, and remarket long-lived, widely-used assets, primarily in the rail market. We report our financial results through three primary business segments: Rail North America, Rail International, and Portfolio Management. Historically, we also reported financial results for American Steamship Company ("ASC") as a fourth segment.
In the first quarter of 2021, GATX began investing directly in aircraft spare engines through its new entity, GATX Engine Leasing ("GEL"). During the first quarter of 2021, GEL acquired 14 aircraft spare engines for approximately $352 million, including 4 engines for $120 million from the Rolls-Royce & Partners Finance joint ventures (collectively the “RRPF affiliates” or "RRPF"). All engines are on long-term leases with airline customers and are managed by RRPF. Financial results for this business are reported in the Portfolio Management segment.
On December 29, 2020, GATX acquired Trifleet Leasing Holding B.V. ("Trifleet"), the fourth largest tank container lessor in the world. Financial results for this business are reported in the Other segment. See "Note 3. Business Combinations" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.
On May 14, 2020, we completed the sale of our ASC business, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. As a result, ASC is now reported as discontinued operations, and financial data for the ASC segment has been segregated and presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See "Note 16. Discontinued Operations" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. We based the discussion and analysis that follows on financial data we derived from the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Standards ("GAAP") and on certain other financial data that we prepared using non-GAAP components. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP components to the most comparable GAAP components, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the end of this item.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results we may achieve for the entire year ending December 31, 2021. In particular, asset remarketing income does not occur evenly throughout the year. For more information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19")
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency related to COVID-19. Across our operating segments, we have implemented business continuity and crisis management plans. We have a strong liquidity position, solid balance sheet, and access to capital which we expect will enable GATX to continue to effectively manage through the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve rapidly, including the scope and duration of disruptions and the pace and timing of the eventual recovery. The global economic recovery remains uncertain due to potential COVID-19 resurgences. Our top priorities continue to be ensuring the health and safety of our global workforce and serving our various stakeholders with minimal disruptions.
Rail North America
The initial impact of COVID-19 resulted in a decline in industry railcar loadings, had a negative impact on lease rates, and led to a reduction in the purchase and sale of railcars in the secondary market. Although industry railcar loadings and absolute lease rates continued to improve during the second quarter of 2021, the risk of ongoing volatility as a result of future COVID-19 disruptions persists.
Rail International
While the initial impact of COVID-19 has dissipated, Europe and India saw a resurgence in COVID-19 cases in the second quarter of 2021. Although the resurgence had a minimal impact to our operations in Europe, it did cause disruptions to railcar manufacturers in India, and the risk of ongoing volatility as a result of future COVID-19 disruptions persists.
24
Rail North America & Rail International Maintenance Operations
Rail freight transportation and railcar repair have been deemed essential businesses globally. Our rail operations teams have implemented COVID-19 preparation and response programs to ensure the health and safety of our employees while continuing to provide critical railcar maintenance services. Railcar repair facilities continued to operate effectively during the second quarter of 2021, with minimal disruptions as a result of COVID-19. Although COVID-19 related delays decreased substantially during the second quarter of 2021, a resurgence could cause future disruptions.
Rolls-Royce & Partners Finance Joint Ventures ("RRPF affiliates")
Global air travel continues to be significantly impacted by COVID-19. In response to the drastic decline in demand, airlines have reduced system-wide capacity and grounded large portions or all of their fleets. Although some flight operations have resumed, air travel remains below pre-COVID-19 levels. Many airlines are currently focused on managing their liquidity positions, restructuring operations, and obtaining government financial support. The major reduction in global air travel and the disruption across the aviation industry continued to adversely impact the profitability of our aircraft spare engine leasing business and operating results in the second quarter of 2021, and we expect that it will continue to have a negative impact on our near-term operating results, the magnitude and duration of which are still uncertain.
DISCUSSION OF OPERATING RESULTS
Net income from continuing operations for the first six months of 2021 was $42.0 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared to $84.2 million, or $2.38 per diluted share, in 2020. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included a net negative impact of $39.7 million related to an enacted tax rate increase in the United Kingdom and a net negative impact of $3.4 million attributable to debt extinguishment costs associated with an early redemption (see "non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the end of this item for further details). Excluding the impact of these items, net income from continuing operations increased $0.9 million compared to the prior year, largely due to higher asset disposition gains and lower maintenance expenses at Rail North America, partially offset by lower share of affiliates' earnings.
Net income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2021 was $5.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $37.0 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, in 2020. Results for the three months ended June 30, 2021 included a net negative impact of $39.7 million related to an enacted tax rate increase in the United Kingdom and a net negative impact of $3.4 million attributable to debt extinguishment costs associated with an early redemption (see "non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the end of this item for further details). Net income from continuing operations increased $11.6 million compared to the prior year, largely due to higher asset disposition gains and lower maintenance expenses at Rail North America, partially offset by lower share of affiliates' earnings.

Segment Operations
Segment profit is an internal performance measure used by the Chief Executive Officer to assess the profitability of each segment. Segment profit includes all revenues, expenses, pre-tax earnings from affiliates, and net gains on asset dispositions that are directly attributable to each segment. We allocate interest expense to the segments based on what we believe to be the appropriate risk-adjusted borrowing costs for each segment. Segment profit excludes selling, general and administrative expenses, income taxes, and certain other amounts not allocated to the segments.
RAIL NORTH AMERICA
Segment Summary
During the second quarter, conditions in the North American railcar leasing market improved as railroad car loadings increased, railroad velocity decreased, and industry cars in storage decreased from last quarter and prior year. Absolute lease rates increased across most of the fleet during the quarter and fleet utilization increased to 98.5% at the end of the quarter.
COVID-19 had minimal impact on operating and financial results in the quarter, and railcar repair facilities continued to operate effectively during the quarter. However, the risk of ongoing volatility as a result of future COVID-19 disruptions persists.

Rail North America Fleet Data
At June 30, 2021, Rail North America's wholly owned fleet, excluding boxcars, consisted of approximately 102,100 cars. Fleet utilization, excluding boxcars, was 98.5% at June 30, 2021, compared to 97.8% at the end of the prior quarter, and 98.7% at June 30, 2020. Fleet utilization for approximately 12,700 boxcars was 97.1% at June 30, 2021, compared to 97.1% at the end of the prior quarter, and 94.6% at June 30, 2020. Utilization is calculated as the number of railcars on lease as a percentage of total railcars in the fleet.
During the second quarter of 2021, an average of approximately 100,700 railcars, excluding boxcars, were on lease, compared to 101,100 in the prior quarter and 101,600 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Changes in railcars on lease compared to prior periods are impacted by the timing of deliveries of new railcars purchased under our supply agreements, the number and timing of railcars acquired in the secondary market, and the disposition of railcars that were sold or scrapped, as well as the fleet utilization rate.
As of June 30, 2021, leases for approximately 11,100 tank cars and freight cars and approximately 1,200 boxcars are scheduled to expire over the remainder of 2021. These amounts exclude railcars on leases expiring in 2021 that have already been renewed or assigned to a new lessee.

Lease Price Index
Our 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. We calculate the index using the weighted-average lease rate for a group of railcar types that we believe best represents our 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.
During the second quarter of 2021, the renewal rate change of the LPI was negative 6.7%, compared to negative 18.1% in the prior quarter, and negative 28.0% in the second quarter of 2020. Lease terms on renewals for cars in the LPI averaged 29 months in the current quarter, compared to 30 months in the prior quarter, and 31 months in the second quarter of 2020. Additionally, the renewal success rate, which represents the percentage of railcars on expiring leases that were renewed with the existing lessee, was 77.5% in the current quarter, compared to 77.7% in the prior quarter, and 71.8% in the second quarter of 2020. 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.

Comparison of the First Six Months of 2021 to the First Six Months of 2020
Segment Profit
In the first six months of 2021, segment profit of $143.3 million increased 17.5% compared to $122.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher net gains on asset dispositions and lower maintenance expense, partially offset by lower revenue. The amount and timing of disposition gains is dependent on a number of factors and may vary materially from year to year.
Revenues
In the first six months of 2021, lease revenue decreased $11.1 million, or 2.6%, resulting from fewer railcars and locomotives on lease. Other revenue decreased $12.1 million, driven by lower repair revenue.
Expenses
In the first six months of 2021, maintenance expense decreased $23.4 million, driven by fewer regulatory compliance events, fewer repairs performed by the railroads, and improved efficiency in our owned repair shops. Depreciation expense increased $2.9 million due to the timing of new railcar investments and dispositions. Operating lease expense decreased $4.7 million, resulting from the purchase of railcars previously on operating leases. Other operating expense increased $1.8 million due to higher switching, freight, and storage costs.
Other Income (Expense)
In the first six months of 2021 net gain on asset dispositions increased $22.6 million, due to higher asset remarketing gains and higher net scrapping gains. The amount and timing of disposition gains is dependent on a number of factors and may vary materially from year to year. Higher net scrapping gains were impacted by a higher scrap price per ton in 2021. Net interest expense increased $1.8 million, primarily driven by a higher average debt balance, partially offset by a lower average interest rate.
Investment Volume
During the first six months of 2021, investment volume was $215.5 million compared to $270.5 million in the same period in 2020. We acquired 1,515 newly built railcars and purchased 218 railcars in the secondary market in the first six months of 2021, compared
30
to 1,917 newly built railcars and 156 railcars purchased in the secondary market in the same period in 2020.
Our investment volume is predominantly composed of acquired railcars, but also includes certain capitalized repairs and improvements to owned railcars and our maintenance facilities. As a result, the dollar value of investment volume does not necessarily correspond to the number of railcars acquired in any given period. In addition, the comparability of amounts invested and the number of railcars acquired in each period is impacted by the mix of railcars purchased, which may include tank cars and freight cars, as well as newly manufactured railcars or those purchased in the secondary market.
Comparison of the Second Quarter of 2021 to the Second Quarter of 2020
Segment Profit
In the second quarter of 2021, segment profit of $77.6 million increased 55.2% compared to $50.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher net gains on asset dispositions and lower maintenance expense, partially offset by lower revenue. The amount and timing of disposition gains is dependent on a number of factors and may vary materially from quarter to quarter.
Revenues
In the second quarter of 2021, lease revenue decreased $5.8 million, or 2.8%, resulting from fewer railcars and locomotives on lease. Other revenue decreased $6.3 million, driven by lower repair revenue.
Expenses
In the second quarter of 2021, maintenance expense decreased $8.9 million, driven by fewer regulatory compliance events and fewer repairs performed by the railroads, as well as improved efficiency in our owned repair shops. Depreciation expense increased $0.8 million due to the timing of new railcar investments and dispositions. Operating lease expense decreased $2.3 million, resulting from the purchase of railcars previously on operating leases. Other operating expense increased $0.8 million due to higher insurance and storage costs, partially offset by lower switching and freight costs.
Other Income (Expense)
In the second quarter of 2021, net gain on asset dispositions increased $27.9 million, due to higher asset remarketing gains and higher net scrapping gains. The amount and timing of disposition gains is dependent on a number of factors and may vary materially from quarter to quarter. Higher net scrapping gains were impacted by a higher scrap price per ton in 2021. Net interest expense decreased $1.9 million, primarily driven by a lower average interest rate, partially offset by a higher average debt balance.
RAIL INTERNATIONAL
Segment Summary
Rail International, composed primarily of GATX Rail Europe ("GRE"), continued to produce strong operating results in the first six months of 2021. Demand for railcars in Europe remained strong, and renewal lease rates for most car types increased slightly. Although Europe experienced a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the second quarter, COVID-19 did not have a material impact on GRE’s financial results. However, the risk of ongoing volatility as a result of future COVID-19 disruptions persists.
Our rail operations in India ("GRI") continued to focus on investment opportunities, diversification of its fleet, and developing relationships with customers, suppliers and the Indian Railways. Similar to Europe, India also experienced a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the second quarter, leading to railcar manufacturing and supply disruptions. Although COVID-19 did not have a material impact on GRI's financial results, the risk of ongoing volatility as a result of future COVID-19 disruptions persists.

GRE Fleet Data
At June 30, 2021, GRE's wholly owned fleet consisted of approximately 26,700 cars. Fleet utilization was 98.4% at June 30, 2021, compared to 98.2% at the end of the prior quarter and 98.4% at June 30, 2020. Utilization is calculated as the number of railcars on lease as a percentage of total railcars in the fleet.
During the second quarter of 2021, an average of approximately 26,200 railcars were on lease, compared to 25,900 in the prior quarter and 25,100 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Changes in railcars on lease compared to prior periods are impacted by the number and timing of new railcars purchased or acquired in the secondary market and the disposition of railcars that were sold or scrapped, as well as the fleet utilization rate.
The following table shows fleet activity for GRE railcars for the quarter ended:

Comparison of the First Six Months of 2021 to the First Six Months of 2020
Foreign Currency
Rail International's reported results of operations are impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar versus foreign currencies in which it conducts business, primarily the euro. In the first six months ended June 30, 2021, fluctuations in the value of the euro, relative to the U.S. dollar, positively impacted lease revenue by approximately $9.8 million and segment profit, excluding other income (expense), by approximately $5.4 million compared to the same period in 2020.
Segment Profit
In the first six months of 2021, segment profit of $49.1 million increased 44.8% compared to $33.9 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to lease revenue from more railcars on lease and the positive impacts of changes in foreign exchange rates.
Revenues
In the first six months of 2021, lease revenue increased $18.5 million, or 15.8%, due to more railcars on lease at GRE and GRI, as well as the impact of foreign exchange rates.
33
Expenses
In the first six months of 2021, maintenance expense increased $4.8 million, primarily due to higher wheelset costs, partially offset by lower costs for other repairs. Depreciation expense increased $5.4 million, resulting from the impact of new railcars added to the fleet.
Other Income (Expense)
In the first six months of 2021, net gain on asset dispositions increased $0.8 million, attributable to higher asset remarketing gains and higher net scrapping gains. Net scrapping gains were positively impacted by a higher scrap price per ton in 2021. Net interest expense increased $1.2 million, due to a higher average debt balance, partially offset by a lower average interest rate. Other expense decreased $6.4 million, driven by the positive impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on non-functional currency items and lower litigation costs related to the Viareggio matter.
Investment Volume
During the first six months of 2021, investment volume was $85.2 million compared to $119.2 million in the same period in 2020. In the first six months ended June 30, 2021, GRE acquired 585 newly built railcars (including 177 assembled at the GRE Ostróda, Poland facility) compared to 810 newly built railcars (including 181 assembled at the GRE Ostróda, Poland facility) and 484 railcars purchased in the secondary markets for the same period in 2020. In the first six months ended June 30, 2021, GRI acquired 136 newly built railcars, compared to 229 newly built railcars for the same period in 2020.
Our investment volume is predominantly composed of acquired railcars, but may also include certain capitalized repairs and improvements to owned railcars. As a result, the dollar value of investment volume does not necessarily correspond to the number of railcars acquired in any given period. In addition, the comparability of amounts invested and the number of railcars acquired in each period is impacted by the mix of the various car types acquired, as well as fluctuations in the exchange rates of the foreign currencies in which Rail International conducts business.
Comparison of the Second Quarter of 2021 to the Second Quarter of 2020
Foreign Currency
Rail International's reported results of operations are impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar versus foreign currencies in which it conducts business, primarily the euro. In the second quarter of 2021, fluctuations in the value of the euro, relative to the U.S. dollar, positively impacted lease revenue by approximately $5.1 million and segment profit, excluding other income (expense), by approximately $2.9 million compared to the same period in 2020.
Segment Profit
In the second quarter of 2021, segment profit of $27.3 million increased 36.5% compared to $20.0 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to lease revenue from more railcars on lease and the positive impacts of changes in foreign exchange rates.
Revenues
In the second quarter of 2021, lease revenue increased $9.9 million, or 16.8%, due to more railcars on lease at GRE and GRI, as well as the impact of foreign exchange rates.
Expenses
In the second quarter of 2021, maintenance expense increased $2.3 million, primarily due to higher wheelset costs, partially offset by lower costs for other repairs. Depreciation expense increased $2.6 million, resulting from the impact of new railcars added to the fleet.
34
Other Income (Expense)
In the second quarter of 2021, net gain on asset dispositions increased $0.6 million, attributable to higher net scrapping gains. Net scrapping gains were positively impacted by a higher scrap price per ton in 2021. Net interest expense decreased $0.4 million, due to a lower average interest rate, partially offset by a higher average debt balance. Other expense decreased $0.9 million, partially driven by lower litigation costs related to the Viareggio matter.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Segment Summary
Portfolio Management's segment profit is attributable primarily to income from the RRPF affiliates, a group of 50% owned domestic and foreign joint ventures with Rolls-Royce plc (or affiliates thereof, collectively "Rolls-Royce"), a leading manufacturer of commercial aircraft jet engines. Segment profit included earnings from the RRPF affiliates of $22.4 million and $13.4 million for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $46.0 million and $22.6 million for the same periods in 2020.
The operating environment for RRPF remained challenging during the second quarter of 2021 due to the ongoing adverse impact of COVID-19 on air travel. RRPF continues to face pressure on both utilization and lease rates as a result of rent deferral requests that have been granted in the past, as well as the impact from a number of its customers having declared bankruptcy or undertaken restructuring processes. RRPF remains focused on preserving a strong liquidity position in the current environment. The risk of ongoing volatility as a result of future COVID-19 disruptions persists.
In the first quarter of 2021, GATX began investing directly in aircraft spare engines through its new entity, GEL. During the first quarter of 2021, GEL acquired 14 aircraft spare engines for approximately $352 million, including 4 engines for $120 million from the RRPF affiliates. All engines are on long-term leases with airline customers and are managed by RRPF.
Portfolio Management also owns marine assets, consisting of five liquefied gas-carrying vessels (the "Specialized Gas Vessels"). The Specialized Gas Vessels are utilized to transport pressurized gases and chemicals, such as liquefied petroleum gas, liquefied natural gas, and ethylene, primarily on short-term spot contracts for major oil and chemical customers worldwide.
Portfolio Management's total asset base was $1,039.5 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $706.1 million at December 31, 2020, and $676.3 million at June 30, 2020. The increase in total assets during the six months ended June 30, 2021 is primarily attributable to the acquisition of aircraft spare engines at GEL.

Comparison of the First Six Months of 2021 to the First Six Months of 2020
Segment Profit
In the first six months of 2021, segment profit was $18.3 million, compared to $38.8 million for the same period in the prior year. Lower segment profit was primarily driven by lower financial results at the RRPF affiliates, partially offset by earnings from aircraft spare engines directly invested by GEL in the first quarter of 2021.
Revenues
In the first six months of 2021, lease revenue increased $11.1 million, due to GEL's new investment in aircraft spare engines on lease in the current year. Marine operating revenue increased $2.1 million, driven by higher utilization and increased charter rates from the Specialized Gas Vessels.
Expenses
In the first six months of 2021, marine operating expense increased $2.8 million, due to higher bunker fuel expense and higher repairs and maintenance costs. Depreciation expense increased $5.0 million, due to the investment in new aircraft spare engines in the current year at GEL.
37
Other Income (Expense)
In the first six months of 2021, income from our share of affiliates' earnings decreased $24.0 million, driven by lower income from operations and lower remarketing income at RRPF.
Comparison of the Second Quarter of 2021 to the Second Quarter of 2020
Segment Profit
In the second quarter of 2021, segment profit was $12.2 million, compared to $19.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Lower segment profit was primarily driven by lower financial results at the RRPF affiliates, partially offset by earnings from GEL, our direct investment in aircraft spare engines.
Revenues
In the second quarter of 2021, lease revenue increased $8.1 million, due to GEL's new investment in aircraft spare engines on lease in the current year. Marine operating revenue increased $1.8 million, driven by higher utilization and increased charter rates from the Specialized Gas Vessels.
Expenses
In the second quarter of 2021, marine operating expense increased $2.3 million, due to higher bunker fuel expense and higher repairs and maintenance costs. Depreciation expense increased $3.6 million, due to the investment in new aircraft spare engines in the current year at GEL.
Other Income (Expense)
In the second quarter of 2021, income from our share of affiliates' earnings decreased $9.2 million, driven by lower income from operations and lower remarketing income at RRPF.
OTHER
Other comprises Trifleet operations, as well as selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), unallocated interest expense, and miscellaneous income and expense not directly associated with the reporting segments and certain eliminations.
On December 29, 2020, GATX acquired Trifleet, the fourth largest tank container lessor in the world. Financial results for this business are reported in the Other segment. See "Note 3. Business Combinations" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

Trifleet Tank Container Data
At June 30, 2021, Trifleet's owned and managed fleet consisted of approximately 18,900 tank containers compared to 19,200 at the end of the prior quarter. Fleet utilization was 84.9% at June 30, 2021 compared to 80.0% at the end of the prior quarter. Utilization is calculated as the number of tank containers on lease as a percentage of total tank containers in the fleet.

SG&A, Unallocated Interest and Other
SG&A increased $11.1 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was largely due to higher share-based compensation expenses, resulting from an increase in the GATX stock price during the current year, as well as the inclusion of Trifleet SG&A expenses in the current year, partially offset by lower discretionary travel and entertainment expenses.
SG&A increased $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was largely due to the inclusion of Trifleet SG&A expenses in the current year, higher project-related costs, and higher employee compensation expenses.
Unallocated interest expense (the difference between external interest expense and interest expense allocated to the reporting segments) in any year is affected by our consolidated leverage position, the timing of debt issuances and investing activities, and intercompany allocations.
Other expense (income), including eliminations increased $5.2 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by debt extinguishment costs resulting from the early redemption of debt, partially offset by lower non-service pension expense and the positive impact of foreign exchange rates on a foreign pension plan.
Other expense (income), including eliminations increased $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by debt extinguishment costs resulting from the early redemption of debt, partially offset by lower non-service pension expense in the current year.
Consolidated Income Taxes
See "Note 10. Income Taxes" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On May 14, 2020, we completed the sale of our ASC business, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. As a result, ASC is now reported as discontinued operations, and financial data for the ASC segment has been segregated and presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See "Note 16. Discontinued Operations" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information. The ASC business comprises the entirety of GATX's discontinued operations.

39
CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY
We generate a significant amount of cash from operating activities and investment portfolio proceeds. We also access domestic and international capital markets by issuing unsecured or secured debt and commercial paper. We use these resources, along with available cash balances, to fulfill our debt, lease, and dividend obligations, to support our share repurchase programs, and to fund portfolio investments and capital additions. We primarily use cash from operations to fund daily operations. The timing of asset dispositions and changes in working capital impact cash flows from portfolio proceeds and operations. As a result, these cash flow components may vary materially from quarter to quarter and year to year.
The risk of ongoing volatility as a result of future COVID-19 disruptions persists. This volatility from COVID-19 could have an ongoing negative impact on our customers, including their ability to make their lease payments timely, as well as their willingness to renew existing leases or enter into new lease contracts. We have a strong liquidity position, solid balance sheet, and access to capital that we expect will enable GATX to continue to effectively manage through the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2021, we had an unrestricted cash balance of $417.9 million. We also have a $250 million 3-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the U.S. that matures in 2024 and a $600 million, 5-year unsecured credit facility in the U.S. that matures in 2026, both of which are fully available as of June 30, 2021.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2021 was $198.6 million, a decrease of $0.7 million compared to the same period in 2020. Comparability among reporting periods is impacted by the timing of changes in working capital items. Specifically, lower payments for operating leases and other operating expenses were partially offset by higher cash payments for income taxes and interest expense.
Portfolio Proceeds
Portfolio proceeds primarily consist of proceeds from sales of operating assets and finance lease receipts, as well as capital distributions from affiliates. Portfolio proceeds of $124.1 million for the six months of 2021 increased by $34.5 million from the prior year, primarily due to higher proceeds from railcar and locomotive sales at Rail North America.
Proceeds From Issuance of Debt
Proceeds from the issuance of debt for the first six months ended June 30, 2021 were $1,072.6 million (net of hedges and debt issuance costs). In the first six months of 2021, we issued $400 million of 10-year unsecured debt, $300 million of 30-year unsecured debt, and drew $384 million from our 3-year unsecured delayed draw bank term loan. Of the $384 million originally drawn on the delayed draw term loan, $134 million was subsequently repaid.
40
Portfolio Investments and Capital Additions
Portfolio investments and capital additions primarily consist of purchases of operating assets and capitalized asset improvements. Portfolio investments and capital additions of $663.4 million for the first six months of 2021 increased $271.9 million compared to 2020, primarily due to the acquisition of 14 aircraft spare engines at GEL, partially offset by fewer railcars acquired at Rail North America and Rail International.
Repayments of Debt
Debt repayments of $589.2 million for the first six months of 2021 were $520.9 million lower than prior year. In the first six months of 2021, repayments included the $150 million early redemption of our 5.625% Senior Notes due 2066, $300 million redemption of Senior Notes, and $134 million pay-down on the 3-year delayed draw bank term loan.
Purchases of Assets Previously Leased
In the six months ended June 30, 2021, we exercised options to acquire 898 railcars previously recorded on the balance sheet as a finance lease for $33.3 million, compared to the exercise of options to acquire 166 railcars previously recorded on the balance sheet as a finance lease for $7.9 million in 2020.
Share Repurchase Program
On January 25, 2019, our board of directors approved a $300.0 million share repurchase program, pursuant to which we are authorized to purchase shares of our common stock in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date, does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of common stock, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The timing of repurchases will be dependent on market conditions and other factors. No share repurchases were completed during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, $150.0 million remained available under the repurchase authorization.

__________
(1) For the remainder of the year.
(2) For floating rate debt, future interest payments are based on the applicable interest rate as of June 30, 2021.
(3) Primarily railcar purchase commitments. The amounts shown for all years are based on management's estimates of the timing, anticipated car types, and related costs of railcars to be purchased under its agreements. The amount shown for 2021 includes $43.6 million related to options we exercised to purchase 1,431 railcars that are currently on lease.
In 2014, we entered into a long-term supply agreement with Trinity Rail Group, LLC ("Trinity"), a subsidiary of Trinity Industries. Under the terms of that agreement, we agreed to order 8,950 newly built railcars. As of December 31, 2020, all 8,950 railcars have been ordered and delivered. On May 24, 2018, we amended our long-term supply agreement with Trinity to extend the term to December 2023, and we agreed to purchase an additional 4,800 tank cars (1,200 per year) beginning in January 2020 and continuing through the expiration of the extended term. At June 30, 2021, 2,524 railcars have been ordered, of which 1,785 railcars have been delivered, pursuant to the amended terms of the agreement.
In 2018, we entered into a multi-year railcar supply agreement with American Railcar Industries, Inc. ("ARI"), pursuant to which we will purchase 7,650 newly built railcars. The order encompasses a mix of tank and freight cars that are to be delivered over a five-year period, beginning in April 2019. ARI's railcar manufacturing business was subsequently acquired by The Greenbrier Companies, Inc.

(1)Short-term borrowings in Europe are composed of borrowings under bank credit facilities.
Credit Lines and Facilities
During the second quarter of 2021, we entered into a new $600 million, 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the U.S., expiring in May 2026. The new credit facility contains two extension options. This replaced our prior $600 million, 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility, which was terminated upon our entry into the new credit facility. As of June 30, 2021, the full $600 million was available under this facility. Additionally we entered into a new $250 million 3-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the U.S., expiring in May 2024. This facility also has two one-year extension options. This replaced our prior $250 million 3-year unsecured revolving credit facility, which was terminated upon our entry into the new credit facility. As of June 30, 2021, the full $250 million was available on this facility.
Our European subsidiaries have unsecured credit facilities with an aggregate limit of €35.0 million. As of June 30, 2021, €20.5 million was available under these credit facilities.
Delayed Draw Term Loan
On December 14, 2020, we executed a delayed draw term loan agreement (“Term Loan”) which provides for a 3-year term loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million. Advances could have been made from December 14, 2020 through April 17, 2021 pursuant to the terms of the agreement and may not be re-borrowed. The amounts borrowed under the Term Loan agreement are required to be repaid no later than December 14, 2023. In the first quarter of 2021, we drew $384 million on the Term Loan and terminated the remaining unused commitment of $116 million. In the second quarter of 2021, we paid down $134 million of the outstanding amount. As of June 30, 2021, $250 million was drawn on the Term Loan.
Restrictive Covenants
Our $600 million revolving credit facility contains various restrictive covenants, including requirements to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio and an asset coverage test. Some of our bank term loans have the same financial covenants as the facility.
The indentures for our public debt also contain various restrictive covenants, including limitations on liens provisions that restrict the amount of additional secured indebtedness that we may incur. Additionally, certain exceptions to the covenants permit us to incur an unlimited amount of purchase money and nonrecourse indebtedness.
At June 30, 2021, our European rail subsidiaries had outstanding term loan and private placement debt balances totaling €580.0 million. The loans are guaranteed by GATX Corporation and are subject to similar restrictive covenants as the revolving credit facility noted above.
43
At June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants and conditions of all of our credit agreements. We do not anticipate any covenant violations nor do we expect that any of these covenants will restrict our operations or our ability to obtain additional financing.
Credit Ratings
The global capital market environment and outlook may affect our funding options and our financial performance. Our access to capital markets at competitive rates depends on our credit rating and rating outlook, as determined by rating agencies. As of June 30, 2021, our long-term unsecured debt was rated BBB by Standard & Poor's and Baa2 by Moody’s Investor Service and our short-term unsecured debt was rated A-2 by Standard & Poor's and P-2 by Moody’s Investor Service. Our rating outlook from both agencies was stable.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for a summary of our policies.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we compute certain financial measures using non-GAAP components, as defined by the SEC. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and our financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We have provided a reconciliation of our non-GAAP components to the most directly comparable GAAP components.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Components Used in the Computation of Certain Financial Measures
Net Income Measures
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 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
44
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.
