FOR RELEASE: IMMEDIATE
GATX CORPORATION REPORTS 2010 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR RESULTS
     CHICAGO, January 20 — GATX Corporation (NYSE:GMT) today reported 2010 fourth quarter net income of $19.5 million or $.42 per diluted share, compared to net income of $21.5 million or $.45 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2009. The 2010 fourth quarter results include a tax benefit of $5.8 million or $.12 per diluted share, partially offset by negative fair-value adjustments on interest rate swaps at GATX’s European rail affiliate, AAE Cargo (AAE) of $1.3 million or $.03 per diluted share. The 2009 fourth quarter results include a $7.4 million or $.15 per diluted share tax benefit and negative fair-value adjustments of $2.2 million or $.05 per diluted share related to the AAE interest rate swaps.
     Net income for the full-year 2010 was $80.8 million or $1.72 per diluted share, compared to net income of $81.4 million or $1.70 per diluted share in the prior year. The 2010 results include a net positive impact of $6.2 million or $.13 per diluted share related to tax benefits and the favorable resolution of a litigation matter, partially offset by the negative fair-value adjustments on interest rate swaps at AAE. The 2009 results include a net negative impact of $13.3 million or $.27 per diluted share related to the AAE interest rate swaps, partially offset by a tax benefit.
     Brian A. Kenney, president and chief executive officer of GATX, said, “Our 2010 results are in line with our original expectations. In 2010, we focused on fleet utilization, cost containment and asset growth, and we executed in all three areas. Rail’s North American fleet utilization increased again in the fourth quarter, ending the year at 97.4% compared to 95.9% at the end of 2009. We managed our maintenance and SG&A costs effectively, especially with the volatile rail market producing a high level of churn in our fleet. In addition, we successfully acquired an interest in approximately 8,000 existing railcars at attractive prices through two large transactions. In total, investment volume was $585 million in 2010, up significantly from 2009.”
     Mr. Kenney continued, “Looking forward, although absolute railcar lease rates are increasing, the rollover effect of leases renewing at rates lower than expiring rates will continue to pressure revenue. Our marine joint ventures will also see continued pressure on charter rates reflecting continued low demand and overcapacity in most marine sectors. We expect stable performance from American Steamship Company in 2011. On the positive side, we expect to realize continued low funding costs and an increase in attractive asset remarketing opportunities.”

     Mr. Kenney concluded, “As a result of this outlook, we currently expect 2011 earnings to be in the range of $1.70 — $1.80 per diluted share. In the year ahead, GATX will focus on lease pricing improvement, effective asset remarketing and asset growth opportunities. Successful execution on these initiatives and continued improvement in our markets will enhance our long-term performance.”
RAIL
     Rail segment profit was $39.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $33.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The fourth quarter 2010 and 2009 results include negative pre-tax adjustments of $1.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, related to the change in fair value of interest rate swaps at AAE. Rail reported segment profit of $150.6 million in 2010, compared to $169.1 million in 2009. The 2010 and 2009 results include negative pre-tax adjustments of $10.4 million and $24.4 million, respectively, related to the AAE interest rate swaps. The reduction in segment profit was driven by the year-over-year decline in lease income as there were fewer average active cars in the North American fleet and lease rates on renewals were generally lower throughout 2010.
     At December 31, 2010, Rail’s North American fleet totaled approximately 111,000 cars. Fleet utilization was 97.4% , up from 96.8% at the end of the third quarter and 95.9% at 2009 year end. The European wholly-owned tank car fleet totaled approximately 20,000 cars and utilization was 95.7%, up from 95.3% at the end of the third quarter and 94.7% at 2009 year end.
     During the fourth quarter of 2010, lease renewal pricing on cars in the Lease Price Index (LPI) decreased 14.0% versus expiring lease rates, compared to a 15.7% decrease in the prior quarter and an 18.7% decrease in the fourth quarter 2009. The average lease term on LPI renewals during the fourth quarter was 36 months, consistent with the prior quarter and down from 43 months in the fourth quarter of 2009. For the full-year 2010, lease renewal rates on cars in the LPI decreased 15.8% versus expiring rates with an average renewal term of 35 months. This compares with an average renewal rate decrease of 11.0% and average renewal term of 41 months in 2009. Total investment volume in 2010 at Rail was $475 million, compared to $345 million in 2009.
     Additional current and historical fleet and operating data as well as macroeconomic data related to Rail’s business can be found on the last page of this press release.
SPECIALTY
     Specialty reported segment profit of $8.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $8.1 million in the prior year period. For 2010, Specialty reported segment profit of $48.7 million, compared to $51.6 million in 2009. Lower remarketing income and lower share of affiliates’ earnings from the marine joint ventures contributed to the decline in segment profit year over year.

     The Specialty portfolio currently consists of approximately $744.4 million of owned assets (including on and off balance sheet assets) and third-party managed portfolios totaling approximately $241.9 million.
AMERICAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY
     American Steamship Company (ASC) reported segment profit of $6.6 million in the fourth quarter 2010 compared to $6.0 million in the fourth quarter 2009. Segment profit for 2010 was $28.6 million compared to $16.1 million in 2009. The full-year segment profit increase was driven by a 32% increase in tonnage carried in 2010 versus 2009, primarily due to greater demand for iron ore shipments. During the current winter lay-up season, ASC will work with its customers to gauge volume expectations for 2011 and plan winter maintenance and future vessel deployment accordingly.

(a)   LPI is an internally generated business indicator that measures general lease rate pricing on renewals within GATX’s North American rail fleet. The index reflects the weighted average lease rate for a select group of railcar types that GATX believes to be representative of its overall North American fleet. The LPI measures the percentage change between the weighted average renewal lease rate and the weighted average expiring lease rate. Average renewal term reflects the weighted average renewal lease term in months.
