information about our industry segments for the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 is presented in
Part II, Item 7 Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
on pages 12 through 30.
Narrative Description of Business. We are engaged in the
manufacturing and marketing of railcars, inland barges, concrete
and aggregates, highway safety products, beams and girders used
in highway construction, weld pipe fittings and tank containers.
In addition, we lease railcars to our customers through a
captive leasing business, Trinity Industries Leasing Company.
We serve our customers through five business groups:
Rail Group. Our Rail Group is the leading freight
railcar manufacturer in North America and one of the leading
freight railcar manufacturers in Europe. We provide a full
complement of railcars used for transporting a wide variety of
liquids, gases and dry cargo. Our Rail Group consists of two
primary business units: Trinity Rail Group North America and
Trinity Rail GmbH, our European railcar manufacturing business.
Trinity Rail Group North America provides a complete array of
railcar solutions for our customers. We manufacture a full line
of railcars, including:
|
|
| |
Tank Cars Tank cars transport products such
as liquefied petroleum gas, liquid fertilizer, ethanol,
vegetable oil and corn syrup. |
| |
| |
Auto Carrier Cars Auto carrier cars transport
automobiles and sport utility vehicles. |
| |
| |
Hopper Cars Covered hopper cars carry cargo
such as grain, dry fertilizer, plastic pellets and cement.
Open-top hoppers are most often used to haul coal. |
| |
| |
Box Cars Box cars transport
products such as food products, auto parts, wood products and
paper. |
| |
| |
Intermodal Cars Intermodal cars transport
intermodal containers and trailers, which are generally
interchangeable among railcar, truck and ship, thus making it
possible to move cargo without repeated loading and unloading. |
| |
| |
Gondola Cars Rotary gondolas are used for
coal service. Top-loading gondola cars transport a variety of
other heavy bulk commodities such as scrap metals and steel
products. |
| |
| |
Specialty Cars Specialty cars are designed to
address the special needs of a particular industry or customer,
such as waste hauling gondolas, side dump cars, and pressure
differential cars used to haul fine grain food products such as
sugar and flour. |
We produce the widest range of railcars in the industry, which
allows us to take advantage of changing industry trends and
developing market opportunities. We also provide a variety of
railcar components for the North American market from plants in
the U.S. and Mexico. We manufacture and sell railcar parts used
in manufacturing and repairing railcars, such as auto carrier
doors and accessories, discharge gates, yokes, couplers, axles,
and hitches. We also have two repair and coating facilities
located in Texas
Our customers include railroads, leasing companies, and
shippers, such as utilities, petrochemical companies, grain
shippers, and major construction and industrial companies. We
compete against five
1
major railcar manufacturers in the North American market.
For the year ended December 31, 2004, we shipped
approximately 15,100 railcars in North America, or approximately
32% of total North American shipments. Our North American order
backlog as of December 31, 2004 was approximately 19,400
railcars, or approximately 33% of the total North American
backlog as estimated by the Railway Supply Institute, Inc.
Trinity Rail GmbH is one of the leading freight railcar
manufacturers in Europe with its primary operation located in
Romania. We entered the European railcar manufacturing business
in 1999 with our acquisition of a large government-owned
Romanian railcar manufacturer. Immediately after the
acquisition, we initiated a multi-step program designed to
substantially upgrade and improve the infrastructure of the
facility. In addition, we installed new state-of-the-art railcar
manufacturing tooling and equipment and began transferring our
best practices. Following our merger with Thrall, which also had
European facilities, we initiated a consolidation program and
continued the transfer of best practices from the combined
companies. In Europe, we compete against a number of
manufacturers in various countries. For the year ended
December 31, 2004, Trinity Rail GmbH shipped approximately
2,300 units. In the European market, there is no formal
collection of information pertaining to railcar shipments.
However, we believe our current European market share is
approximately 30-35%. Our European backlog as of
December 31, 2004 was approximately 1,300 railcars.
We hold patents of varying duration for use in our manufacture
of railcar and component products. We believe patents offer a
marketing advantage in certain circumstances. No material
revenues are received from licensing of these patents.
Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group.
Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, primarily Trinity
Industries Leasing Company (TILC), we lease both
tank cars and freight cars. Our Railcar Leasing and Management
Services Group (Leasing Group) is a premier provider
of leasing and management services and is an important strategic
resource that uniquely links our Rail Group with our customers.
The Leasing Group provides us with revenue and cash flow
diversification. Trinity Rail Group North America and Trinity
Industries Leasing Company coordinate sales and marketing
activities under the trade name Trinity Rail, thereby providing
a single point of contact for railroads and shippers seeking
solutions to their rail equipment and services needs.
Our railcars are leased to industrial companies in the
petroleum, chemical, agricultural, energy, and other industries
that supply their own railcars to the railroads. Substantially
all of our owned railcars are purchased from and manufactured by
our Rail Group at prices comparable to the prices for railcars
sold by our Rail Group to third parties. The terms of our
railcar leases generally vary from one to twenty years and
provide for fixed monthly rentals, with an additional mileage
charge when usage exceeds a specified maximum. We do have a
small percentage of our fleet leased on a per diem basis.
In addition, we manage railcar fleets on behalf of independent
third parties. We believe our railcar fleet management services
complement our leasing business by generating stable fee income,
strengthening customer relationships, and enhancing the view of
Trinity as a leading provider of railcar products and services.
As of December 31, 2004, our lease fleet included
approximately 20,300 owned or leased railcars that were 99.0%
utilized. Additionally, we manage approximately 66,000
additional railcars on behalf of independent third parties.
The leasing business in which we are engaged is very competitive
and there are a number of well-established entities that
actively compete with us in the business of owning and leasing
railcars.
Construction Products Group. Our Construction
Products Group manufactures concrete and aggregates, highway
safety products, beams and girders used in highway bridge
construction and weld pipe fittings. Many of these lines of
business are seasonal and revenues are subject to weather
conditions.
We are a leader in the supply of ready mix concrete in rural
regions and smaller cities located throughout Texas. Our
customers for concrete include contractors and subcontractors in
the construction and foundation industry who are located near
our plant locations. We also distribute construction aggregates,
such as crushed stone, sand and gravel, asphalt rock and
recycled concrete in several larger Texas cities. Our customers
for
2
aggregates are mostly other concrete manufacturers, paving
contractors and other consumers of aggregates. We compete with
ready mix concrete producers and aggregate producers located in
the regions where we operate.
In highway safety products we are the only full line producer of
guardrails, crash cushions and other protective barriers that
absorb and dissipate the force of impact in collisions between
vehicles and fixed roadside objects. We believe we are the
largest highway guardrail manufacturer in the United States,
based on revenues, with a comprehensive nationwide guardrail
supply network. Our predominantly galvanized steel product lines
use the principles of momentum transfer and kinetic energy
absorption to decelerate errant vehicles. The Federal Highway
Administration determines which products are eligible for
federal funds for highway projects and has approved most of our
products as acceptable permanent and construction zone highway
hardware according to requirements of the National Cooperation
Highway Research Program.
Our crash cushions and other protective barriers include
multiple proprietary products manufactured through various
product license agreements with certain public and private
research organizations and inventors. We hold patents and are a
licensee for certain of our guardrail and end-treatment products
that enhance our competitive position for these products.
We sell highway safety products in all 50 U.S. States,
Canada, and Mexico. We have also recently started to export our
highway safety proprietary products to certain other countries.
We compete against several national and regional guardrail
producers.
We manufacture structural steel beams and girders for the
construction of new, restored and/or replacement railroad
bridges, county, municipal and state highway bridges and power
generation plants. We sell bridge construction and support
products primarily to owners, general contractors and
subcontractors on highway and railroad construction projects. We
also manufacture dump bodies. Our competitors primarily include
fabricators with facilities located in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado
and Arkansas.
We manufacture and/or sell weld pipe fittings, such as caps,
elbows, return bends, tees, concentric and eccentric reducers
and full and reducing outlet tees, which are sold primarily to
pipeline, petrochemical, and non-petrochemical process
industries. We compete with numerous companies throughout the
United States and foreign importers. Competition for fittings
has been intense over the last several years.
Inland Barge Group. We are the largest producer of
inland barges in the United States and the largest producer of
fiberglass barge covers used primarily on grain barges. In 2004,
we shipped a total of approximately 460 barges. We
manufacture a variety of dry cargo barges, such as deck barges,
and open or covered hopper barges that transport various
commodities, such as grain, coal and aggregates. We also produce
tank barges used to transport liquid products. Fiberglass
reinforced lift covers are primarily for grain and rolling
covers are for other bulk commodities. Our six manufacturing
facilities are located along the United States inland river
system allowing for rapid delivery to our customers.
Our primary Inland Barge customers are commercial marine
transportation companies. Many companies have the capability to
enter into, and from time to time do enter into, the inland
barge manufacturing business. We strive to compete through
efficiency in operations and quality of product.
Industrial Products Group. We are a leading
producer of tank containers and tank heads for pressure vessels.
We manufacture tanks in the United States, Mexico and Brazil. We
market a portion of our industrial products in Mexico under the
brand name of TATSA®.
We manufacture propane tanks that are used by industrial plants,
utilities, small businesses and in suburban and rural areas. We
also manufacture fertilizer containers for bulk storage, farm
storage and the application and distribution of anhydrous
ammonia. Our tanks range from 13-gallon tanks for motor fuel use
to 57-gallon tanks for residential use as well as 120,000-gallon
bulk storage containers and 600,000-gallon bulk storage spheres.
We sell our containers to experienced propane dealers and
technicians. In the U.S. we generally deliver the
containers to our customers who install and fill the containers.
Our competitors include large and small manufacturers.
We manufacture tank heads, which are pressed metal components
used in the manufacturing of
3
many of our finished products. We manufacture the tank heads in
various shapes, and we produce pressure rated or non-pressure
rated tank heads, depending on their intended use. We use a
significant portion of the tank heads we manufacture in the
production of our tank cars and containers. We also sell our
tank heads to a broad range of other manufacturers. Competition
for tank heads in recent years has been intense and has resulted
in sharply reduced prices for these products.
All Other. All Other includes our captive
insurance and transportation companies, structural towers, costs
associated with non-operating plants and other peripheral
businesses.
Foreign Operations. Trinitys foreign operations are
in Brazil, the Czech Republic, Mexico, Romania, Slovakia, and
the United Kingdom. Sales to foreign customers, primarily in
Europe and Mexico, represented 10.7%, 12.9% and 16.8% of our
consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31,
2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. As of December 31,
2004, 2003, and 2002, we had approximately 10.8%, 10.8%, and
11.5% of our long-lived assets located outside the United States.
We manufacture railcars, propane tank containers and tank heads
at our Mexico facilities for export to the United States. Any
material change in the quotas, regulations, or duties on imports
imposed by the United States government and its agencies or on
exports imposed by the government of Mexico or its agencies
could adversely affect our operations in Mexico. Our foreign
activities are also subject to various other risks of doing
business in foreign countries, including currency fluctuations,
political changes, changes in laws and regulations and economic
instability. Although our operations have not been materially
affected by any of such factors to date, any substantial
disruption of business as it is currently conducted could
adversely affect our operations at least in the short term.
Backlog. As of December 31, 2004, our backlog for
new railcars was $1,390.3 million and was
$99.1 million for Inland Barge products. Included in the
railcar backlog are $214.3 million of railcars to be sold
to our Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group.
Substantially our entire backlog is expected to be delivered in
the 12 months ending December 31, 2005. The Rail Group
has a multi-year sales agreement for 1,000 new railcars per year
for 2006 and 2007 which will not be included in the backlog
until the type of car and price have been determined.
As of December 31, 2003, our backlog for new railcars was
$909.6 million and was $159.8 million for Inland Barge
products. Included in the railcar backlog was $69.1 million
of railcars to be sold to our Railcar Leasing and Management
Services Group.
Marketing. We sell substantially all of our products
through our own sales personnel operating from offices in the
following states and foreign countries: Arkansas, Arizona,
Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah,
Washington, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, France, Mexico,
Romania, Slovakia, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. We also
use independent sales representatives to a limited extent.
Except in the case of weld fittings, guardrail and standard size
propane tank containers, we ordinarily fabricate our products to
our customers specifications contained in a purchase order.
Raw
Materials and Suppliers.
Railcar Specialty Components. Products
manufactured at our railcar manufacturing facilities require a
significant supply of raw materials such as steel as well as
numerous specialty components such as brakes, wheels and axles.
Specialty components purchased from third parties comprise
approximately 50% of the production cost of each railcar.
Although the number of alternative suppliers of specialty
components has declined in recent years, at least three
suppliers continue to produce most components.
Aggregates. Aggregates can be found throughout the
United States, and many producers exist nationwide. However, as
a general rule, shipments from an individual quarry are limited
in geographic scope because the cost of transporting processed
aggregates to customers is high in relation to the value of the
product itself. We operate 13 mining facilities
strategically located in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana to
fulfill some of our needs for aggregates. We have not
experienced difficulty fulfilling the rest of our needs from
local suppliers.
Cement. The worldwide demand for cement has
increased over the last several years. The supply of cement for
the Concrete & Aggregates
4
business is received primarily from Texas and overseas. The
increased demand, coupled with rising transportation costs, has
driven the cost of this raw material up over 20% in the last
year. Although rising cost continues to impact our business, we
have not experienced difficulties supplying concrete to our
customers.
Steel. The principal material used in our Rail,
Inland Barge and Industrial Products Groups is steel. During
2004, the prices of steel and other components we purchased
increased significantly and have been volatile on a
month-to-month basis. Fixed price sales contracts, primarily in
our Rail and Inland Barge Groups, did not provide for
pass-through of these cost increases to customers and operating
margins suffered as a result. At December 31, 2004,
approximately 94% of the railcar backlog is either covered by
escalation clauses or other arrangements which reduce the
exposure to future material cost increases related to those
contracts.
Availability of steel and components was also an issue during
2004. In general, we believe there is enough capacity to meet
current production levels in the supply industry. We believe our
existing contracts and other relationships we have in place will
meet our current production forecasts. However, any
unanticipated interruption in our supply chain would have an
impact on both our margin and production schedules.

As of December 31, 2004, approximately 8,520 employees were
employed in the United States.
Acquisitions. In 2004, we had an acquisition in the
Construction Products Group with a purchase price of
$15.7 million. During 2003, we had six acquisitions
primarily in the Construction Products Group with a combined
purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $7.6 million. The
acquired operations have been included in the consolidated
financial statements from the effective dates of the
acquisitions. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements.
Environmental Matters. We are subject to comprehensive
federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and
regulations relating to the release or discharge of materials
into the environment, the management, use, processing, handling,
storage, transport or disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous
waste and materials, or otherwise relating to the protection of
human health and the environment. Such laws and regulations not
only expose us to liability for our own negligent acts, but also
may expose us to liability for the conduct of others or for our
actions which were in compliance with all applicable laws at the
time these actions were taken. In addition, such laws may
require significant expenditures to achieve compliance, and are
frequently modified or revised to impose new obligations. Civil
and criminal fines and penalties may be imposed for
non-compliance with these environmental laws and regulations.
Our operations that involve hazardous materials also raise
potential risks of liability under common law.
Environmental operating permits are, or may be, required for our
operations under these laws and regulations. These operating
permits are subject to modification, renewal and revocation. We
regularly monitor and review our operations, procedures and
policies for compliance with these laws and regulations. Despite
these compliance efforts, risk of environmental liability is
inherent in the operation of our businesses, as it is with other
companies engaged in similar businesses. We believe that our
operations and facilities owned, managed, or leased, are in
substantial compliance with applicable laws and regulations and
that any noncompliance is not likely to have a material adverse
effect on our operations or financial condition.
However, future events such as changes in or modified
interpretations of existing laws and regulations or enforcement
policies, or further investigation or evaluation of the
potential health hazards associated with our products, business
activities, or properties, may give rise to additional
compliance and other costs that could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and operations.
5
In addition to environmental laws, the transportation of
commodities by railcar or barge raises potential risks in the
event of a derailment, spill or other accident. Generally,
liability under existing law in the United States for a
derailment, spill or other accident depends on the negligence of
the party, such as the railroad, the shipper or the manufacturer
of the barge, railcar or its components. However, under certain
circumstances strict liability concepts may apply.
Governmental
Regulation
Railcar Industry. The primary regulatory and
industry authorities involved in the regulation of the railcar
industry are the Environmental Protection Agency; the Research
and Special Programs Administration, a division of the
Department of Transportation; the Federal Railroad
Administration, a division of the Department of Transportation;
and the Association of American Railroads.
These organizations establish rules and regulations for the
railcar industry, including construction specifications and
standards for the design and manufacture of railcars and railcar
parts; mechanical, maintenance and related standards for
railcars; safety of railroad equipment, tracks and operations;
and packaging and transportation of hazardous materials.
We believe that our operations are in substantial compliance
with these regulations. We cannot predict whether any future
changes in these rules and regulations could cause added
compliance costs that could have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition or operations.
Inland Barge Industry. The primary regulatory and
industry authorities involved in the regulation of the barge
industry are the United States Coast Guard; the National
Transportation Safety Board; the United States Customs Service;
the Maritime Administration of the United States Department of
Transportation; and private industry organizations such as the
American Bureau of Shipping.
These organizations establish safety criteria, investigate
vessel accidents and recommend improved safety standards.
Violations of these regulations and related laws can result in
substantial civil and criminal penalties as well as injunctions
curtailing operations.
We believe that our operations are in substantial compliance
with these laws and regulations. We cannot predict whether
future changes that affect compliance costs would have a
material adverse effect on financial conditions and operations.
Highway Safety Products. The primary regulatory
and industry authorities involved in the regulation of our
highway safety products business are the United States
Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration
and various state highway departments.
These organizations establish certain standards and
specifications related to the manufacture of our highway safety
products. If our products were found not to be in compliance
with these standards and specifications we would be required to
re-qualify our products for installation on state and national
highways.
We believe that our highway safety products are in substantial
compliance with all applicable standards and specifications. We
cannot predict whether future changes in these standards and
specifications would have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and operations.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration and similar
regulations. Our operations are subject to regulation of
health and safety matters by the United States Occupational
Safety and Health Administration. We believe that we employ
appropriate precautions to protect our employees and others from
workplace injuries and harmful exposure to materials handled and
managed at our facilities. However, claims may be asserted
against us for work-related illnesses or injury, and our
operations may be adversely affected by the further adoption of
occupational health and safety regulations in the United States
or in foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. While we do not
anticipate having to make material expenditures in order to
remain in substantial compliance with health and safety laws and
regulations, we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of
compliance. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will
not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings or
if we were found to be responsible or liable in any litigation
or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to us.
Other Matters. To date, we have not suffered any material
shortages with respect to obtaining sufficient energy supplies
to operate our
6
various plant facilities or transportation vehicles. Future
limitations on the availability or consumption of petroleum
products, particularly natural gas for plant operations and
diesel fuel for vehicles, could have an adverse effect upon our
ability to conduct our business. The likelihood of such an
occurrence or its duration, and its ultimate effect on our
operations, cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.

Item 3. Legal
Proceedings.
We and our wholly owned subsidiary, Trinity Marine Products,
Inc. (TMP), and certain material suppliers and
others, are named as co-defendants in separate lawsuits filed by
J. Russell Flowers, Inc. (Flowers) on
October 7, 2002, Marquette Transportation Company and Iowa
Fleeting Services, Inc. (Marquette) on March 7,
2003, Waxler Transportation Company, Inc. (Waxler)
on April 7, 2003 and LeBeouf Bros. Towing
(LeBeouf) on July 3, 2003. The Marquette and
Waxler cases are pending in the 25th Judicial District Court in
Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, the Flowers case is pending in
the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Mississippi,
Greenville, Mississippi, and the LeBeouf case is pending in the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
In Waxler, the plaintiff has petitioned the court for
certification of a class which, if certified by the court, could
increase the total number of barges involved in the Waxler
litigation. Absent certification of a class in the Waxler case,
the Waxler and LeBeouf suits currently involve 24 tank barges
sold at an approximate average price of $1.4 million. The
Marquette and Flowers suits involve 140 hopper barges sold at an
approximate average price of $280,000. Each of the cases set
forth allegations pertaining to damages arising from alleged
defects in coating materials supplied by a co-defendant and
coatings selection, application, and workmanship by TMP. The
Waxler and Marquette cases have no trial date set. The LeBeouf
case is set for trial on June 6, 2005 and the Flowers case
is set for trial on August 29, 2005. The plaintiffs seek
both compensatory and punitive damages and/or rescission of the
barge purchase contracts. Independent experts investigating the
claims on our behalf and on behalf of TMP have expressed the
opinion that plaintiffs assertion the coating is a food
source for microbiologically influenced corrosion is without
merit. Factual disputes concerning the allegations of the cause,
nature, and extent of alleged corrosion in the barges exist
between the parties. As of December 31, 2004 one of the
four plaintiffs owes TMP approximately $9.1 million related
to contracts for barges not involved in the litigation. TMP has
filed suit for collection of the past due amounts.
In two other cases similar to those in the four lawsuits
mentioned above, one filed by Florida Marine Transporters, Inc.
and the other by ACF Acceptance Barge I, LLC, we and TMP
settled all claims alleged by the original plaintiffs and, as
part of the settlement, received an assignment of the original
plaintiffs causes of action against the remaining
defendants.
In a proceeding unrelated to the foregoing litigation, we and
TMP filed a declaratory judgment action petitioning the Court to
declare our and TMPs obligations related to allegations of
certain barge owners as to exterior coatings and coatings
application on 65 tank barges and TMPs rights and remedies
relative to an insurance policy in which TMP was named as an
additional insured (which policy is applicable to the coatings
on the 65 barges). On December 9, 2003, the barge owners
filed a response proceeding to the declaratory judgment action
claiming actual damages of $6.5 million and punitive
damages of $10 million.
One of our subsidiaries, Transit Mix Concrete and Materials
Company, Inc. (Transit Mix), is a defendant in a
case involving the death of an employee of an independent
contractor following an accident that occurred while the
decedent was working at a Transit Mix facility. Following a jury
verdict in favor of the plaintiff, the presiding judge entered a
final judgment that together with fees, costs and judgment
interest now totals $39.1 million. This case has been
appealed by Transit Mix and its insurers. We believe liability
in this case, if any, exceeding $3.0 million, will be
covered by insurance.
8
We are also involved in other claims and lawsuits incidental to
our business. Based on information currently available, it is
our opinion that the ultimate outcome of all current litigation
and other claims, including settlements, in the aggregate will
not have a material adverse effect on our overall financial
condition for purposes of financial reporting. However,
resolution of certain claims or lawsuits by settlement or
otherwise could have a material impact on the operating results
of the reporting period in which such resolution occurs.
