NEWS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GATX CORPORATION REPORTS 2022 FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS

•Rail North America’s fleet utilization remained high at 99.3%

•Company reiterates 2022 full-year earnings guidance

CHICAGO, April 20, 2022 - GATX Corporation (NYSE:GATX) today reported 2022 first-quarter net income of $75.8 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, compared to net income of $36.5 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021. The 2022 first-quarter results included a net negative impact of $11.5 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, attributed to a net impairment charge for aircraft spare engines in Russia at the Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates and a net positive impact of $3.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, related to an enacted tax rate reduction in Austria. Details related to these items are provided in the attached Supplemental Information under Tax Adjustments and Other Items.

"Conditions continue to strengthen across our global railcar leasing markets despite increased economic uncertainty due to the war in Ukraine," said Brian A. Kenney, president and chief executive officer of GATX. "Rail North America's fleet utilization remained high at 99.3% and its renewal success rate was 80%. As the number of idle railcars in the industry continues to decline, the pace of lease rate increases from the prior quarter accelerated for most car types. As expected, the renewal lease rate change of GATX’s Lease Price Index turned positive in the quarter. The secondary railcar market remains very active as evidenced by our first-quarter remarketing income of $66.4 million, which represents the majority of our anticipated remarketing activity for 2022.

"Rail International continues to perform well as demand for railcars in Europe and India remains strong. Fleet utilization was at 99% or above and renewal lease rates for most car types continued to increase versus the expiring rates. In Portfolio Management, our Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates continued to perform as expected in a challenging environment for global passenger air travel."

Mr. Kenney concluded, “First-quarter investment volume totaled $370.4 million, primarily focused on our global rail assets. Based on our solid start in the first quarter, we continue to expect our 2022 full-year earnings to be in the range of $5.50 to $5.80 per diluted share, excluding the impact of Tax Adjustments and Other Items.”

RAIL NORTH AMERICA

Rail North America reported segment profit of $120.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $65.7 million in the first quarter of 2021. Higher segment profit was primarily a result of higher gains on asset dispositions.

At March 31, 2022, Rail North America’s wholly owned fleet was comprised of approximately 110,700 cars, including approximately 10,300 boxcars. The following fleet statistics and performance discussion exclude the boxcar fleet.

Fleet utilization was 99.3% at the end of the first quarter, compared to 99.2% at the end of the prior quarter and 97.8% at the end of the first quarter of 2021. During the first quarter of 2022, the GATX Lease Price Index (LPI), a weighted-average lease renewal rate for a group of railcars representative of Rail North America’s fleet, was positive 9.3%. This compares to an LPI of negative 0.7% in the prior quarter and negative 18.1% in the first quarter of 2021. The average lease renewal term for all cars included in the LPI during the first quarter was 30 months, compared to 37 months in the prior quarter and 30 months in the first quarter of 2021. Rail North America’s investment volume during the first quarter was $280.4 million.

Additional fleet statistics, including information on the boxcar fleet, and macroeconomic data related to Rail North America’s business are provided on the last page of this press release.

RAIL INTERNATIONAL

Rail International’s segment profit was $24.9 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $21.8 million in the first quarter of 2021. Higher segment profit was predominately driven by more railcars on lease.

At March 31, 2021, GATX Rail Europe’s (GRE) fleet consisted of approximately 27,200 cars. Utilization was 99.0%, compared to 98.7% at the end of the prior quarter and 98.2% at the end of the first quarter of 2021. Additional fleet statistics for GRE are provided on the last page of this press release.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Portfolio Management reported segment loss of $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to segment profit of $6.1 million in the first quarter of 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, the Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates (RRPF) terminated leases with its Russian airline customer. RRPF recorded a net impairment charge associated with three aircraft spare engines in Russia that RRPF does not expect to recover, of which GATX's share was $15.3 million ($11.5 million after-tax). Excluding this impact, first-quarter segment profit was higher driven primarily by GATX Engine Leasing earnings. Details related to the impairment charge are provided in the attached Supplemental Information under Tax Adjustments and Other Items.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this Earnings Release 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.

The following factors, in addition to those discussed in our other filings with the SEC, including our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations expressed in forward-looking statements:

_________

(1) In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we compute certain financial measures using non-GAAP components. Specifically, we exclude the effects of certain tax adjustments and other items for purposes of presenting net income and diluted earnings per share 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 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.

(2) Deferred income tax adjustment due to an enacted corporate income tax rate reduction in Austria in 2022.

(3) Impairment losses related to aircraft spare engines in Russia that RRPF does not expect to recover.

_________

(1) GATX's Lease Price Index (LPI) is an internally-generated business indicator that measures lease rate pricing on renewals for our North American railcar fleet, excluding boxcars. GATX calculates the index using the weighted-average lease rate for a group of railcar types that GATX believes best represents its overall North American fleet, excluding boxcars. The average renewal lease rate change is reported as the percentage change between the average renewal lease rate and the average expiring lease rate, weighted by fleet composition. The average renewal lease term is reported in months and reflects the average renewal lease term of railcar types in the LPI, weighted by fleet composition.

(2) Excludes boxcar fleet.

(3) As reported and revised by the Federal Reserve.

(4) As reported by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).

(5) As reported by the Railway Supply Institute (RSI).
