NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. Description of Business
          GATX Corporation (“GATX” or the “Company”) leases, operates and manages long-lived, widely-used assets in the rail, marine and industrial equipment markets. GATX also invests in joint ventures that complement existing business activities. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, GATX has three financial reporting segments: Rail, Specialty and American Steamship Company (“ASC”).
NOTE 2. Basis of Presentation
          The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of GATX Corporation and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by these accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the entire year ending December 31, 2011. In particular, ASC’s fleet is generally inactive for a significant portion of the first quarter of each year due to the winter conditions on the Great Lakes. In addition, the timing of asset remarketing income is dependent, in part, on market conditions and, therefore, does not occur evenly from period to period. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2010, as set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Accounting Adjustment
          In the first quarter of 2010, the Company discovered a clerical error in the preparation of its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2009, and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2009. The error resulted in a $13.1 million overstatement in each of cash and cash equivalents; accounts payable and accrued expenses; and net cash provided by operating activities. Management has determined that the effect of this error is immaterial and adjusted its Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in 2010 to correct this error.
New Accounting Pronouncements
          Presentation of Comprehensive Income — In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative accounting guidance that revises the requirements for reporting other comprehensive income and its components. The guidance requires an entity to present net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. The guidance becomes effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, GATX may revise the presentation of its financial statements, but application of the new guidance will not impact GATX’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
          Fair Value Measurement — In May 2011, the FASB issued authoritative accounting guidance that changes some fair value measurement principles, clarifies application of existing guidance, and enhances fair value disclosure requirements. The guidance requires an entity to disclose transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for those transfers. The guidance becomes effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Application of the new guidance is not expected to impact GATX’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 3. Investments in Affiliated Companies
          Investments in affiliated companies represent investments in, and loans to and from, domestic and foreign companies and joint ventures that are in businesses similar to those of GATX, such as lease financing and related services for customers operating rail, marine and industrial equipment assets, as well as other business activities, including ventures that provide asset residual value guarantees.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
          The following tables set forth certain disclosures relating to GATX’s non-recurring Level 3 fair value measurements (in millions):
                         
    Fair Value   Carrying   Impairment
Six months ended June 30   of Assets   Value of Assets   Losses
2011
  $ 2.2     $ 3.4     $ 1.2  
2010
    3.5       8.9       5.4  
                         
    Fair Value   Carrying   Impairment
Three months ended June 30   of Assets   Value of Assets   Losses
2011
  $ 1.5     $ 2.1     $ 0.6  
2010
    0.5       1.1       0.6  
          For the first six months and second quarter of 2011, impairment losses of $1.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, primarily related to scrapped wheelsets in Rail’s European fleet. For the first six months and second quarter of 2010, impairment losses of $0.6 million related to scrapped wheelsets in Rail’s European fleet. Also in the first six months of 2010, impairment losses of $4.8 million related to an industry-wide, regulatory mandate issued by the Association of American Railroads that resulted in a significant decrease to the expected economic life of 358 aluminum hopper railcars. In each case, the fair value was determined using discounted cash flow methodologies and third-party appraisal data, as applicable.
Derivative instruments
          GATX recognizes all derivative instruments at fair value and classifies them on the balance sheet as either other assets or other liabilities. Classification of derivative activity in the statements of income and cash flows is generally determined by the nature of the hedged item. Gains and losses on derivatives that are not accounted for as hedges are classified as other operating expenses and the related cash flows are included in cash flows from operating activities. Although GATX does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for purposes other than hedging, certain derivatives may not qualify for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in earnings immediately.
          Fair Value Hedges — GATX uses interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate debt to floating rate debt and to manage the fixed to floating rate mix of its debt obligations. For fair value hedges, changes in fair value of both the derivative and the hedged item are recognized in earnings as interest expense. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, GATX had three instruments outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $350.0 million for each period. As of June 30, 2011, these derivatives had maturities ranging from 2012-2015.
          Cash Flow Hedges — GATX uses interest rate swaps to convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt and to manage the fixed to floating rate mix of its debt obligations. GATX also uses interest rate swaps and Treasury rate locks to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk on existing and anticipated transactions. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, GATX had 12 instruments and 13 instruments outstanding, respectively, with an aggregate notional amount of $78.8 million and $130.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, these derivatives had maturities ranging from 2011-2015. Within the next 12 months, GATX expects to reclassify $7.1 million ($4.5 million after-tax) of net losses on previously terminated derivatives from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings. Amounts are reclassified when interest and operating expense related to the hedged risks affect earnings.
          Certain of GATX’s derivative instruments contain credit risk provisions that could require GATX to make immediate payment on net liability positions in the event that GATX defaulted on certain outstanding debt obligations. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk related contingent features that are in a liability position as of June 30, 2011 was $3.4 million. GATX is not required to post any collateral on its derivative instruments and does not expect the credit risk provisions to be triggered.
          In the event that a counterparty fails to meet the terms of the interest rate swap agreement or a foreign exchange contract, GATX’s exposure is limited to the fair value of the swap if in GATX’s favor. GATX manages the credit risk of counterparties by transacting only with institutions that the Company considers financially sound and by avoiding concentrations of risk with a single counterparty. GATX considers the risk of non-performance by a counterparty to be remote.

Other Financial Instruments
          The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, money market funds, rent and other receivables, accounts payable, commercial paper and bank credit facilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments. The fair values of investment funds were based on the best information available and may include quoted investment fund values. The fair values of loans and fixed and floating rate debt were estimated based on discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates representative of loans with similar terms to borrowers of comparable credit quality.

NOTE 5. Commercial Commitments
          In connection with certain investments or transactions, GATX has entered into various commercial commitments, such as guarantees and standby letters of credit, which could potentially require performance in the event of demands by third parties. Similar to GATX’s balance sheet investments, these guarantees expose GATX to credit, market and equipment risk; accordingly, GATX evaluates its commitments and other contingent obligations using techniques similar to those used to evaluate funded transactions.

          The following table sets forth GATX’s commercial commitments as of (in millions):

    2011     2010  
Affiliate guarantees
  $ 50.0     $ 30.0

    11.0       11.5  
 
           
 
  $ 160.2     $ 142.2  
 
           
 
(a)     At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying values of liabilities on the balance sheet for guarantees were $6.8 million and $7.3 million, respectively. The expirations of these guarantees range from 2011 to 2019. GATX is not aware of any event that would require it to satisfy these guarantees.
          Affiliate guarantees generally involve guaranteeing repayment of the financing utilized to acquire or lease-in assets and are in lieu of making direct equity investments in the affiliate. GATX is not aware of any event of default that would require it to satisfy these guarantees and expects the affiliates to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy their lease and loan obligations.
          Asset residual value guarantees represent GATX’s commitment to third parties that an asset or group of assets will be worth a specified amount at the end of a lease term. GATX earns an initial fee for providing these asset value guarantees, which is amortized into income over the guarantee period. Upon disposition of the assets, GATX receives a share of any proceeds in excess of the amount guaranteed and such residual sharing gains are recorded in asset remarketing income. If at the end of the lease term, the net realizable value of the asset is less than the guaranteed amount, any liability resulting from GATX’s performance pursuant to the residual value guarantee will be reduced by the value realized from disposition of the asset. Asset residual value guarantees include those related to assets of affiliated companies.
          Lease payment guarantees represent GATX’s guarantees to financial institutions of finance and operating lease payments to unrelated parties. Any liability resulting from GATX’s performance pursuant to the lease payment guarantees will be reduced by the value realized from the underlying asset or group of assets.
          GATX and its subsidiaries are also parties to standing letters of credit and bonds primarily related to workers’ compensation and general liability insurance coverages. No material claims have been made against these obligations. At June 30, 2011, GATX does not expect any material losses to result from these off balance sheet instruments since performance is not anticipated to be required.
NOTE 6. Variable Interest Entities
          GATX evaluates whether an entity is a VIE based on the sufficiency of the entity’s equity and whether the equity holders have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. To determine if it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, GATX assesses whether it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that may be significant to the VIE. These determinations are both qualitative and quantitative in nature and require certain judgments and assumptions about the VIE’s forecasted financial performance and the volatility inherent in those forecasted results. GATX evaluates new investments for VIE determination and regularly reviews all existing entities for any events that may result in an entity becoming a VIE or GATX becoming the primary beneficiary of an existing VIE.
          GATX is the primary beneficiary of a consolidated VIE related to a structured lease financing for a portfolio of railcars because it has the power to direct the significant activities of the VIE through its ownership of the equity interests in the transaction.

          The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the VIE that GATX consolidates were as follows (in millions):
                 
    June 30   December 31
    2011   2010

Nonrecourse debt
    50.8       56.2  
 
(a)   All operating assets are pledged as collateral on the nonrecourse debt.
          GATX is also involved with other entities determined to be VIEs of which GATX is not the primary beneficiary. These VIEs are primarily leveraged leases and certain investments in railcar and equipment leasing affiliates that have been financed through a mix of equity investments and third party lending arrangements. GATX determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs because it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance. For certain investments in affiliates determined to be VIEs, GATX concluded that power was shared between the affiliate partners based on the terms of the relevant joint venture agreements, which require approval of all partners for significant decisions involving the VIE.
          The carrying amounts and maximum exposure to loss with respect to VIEs that GATX does not consolidate were as follows (in millions):

          In the first six months of 2011, GATX granted 416,700 stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), 200,366 restricted stock units, 87,570 performance shares and 10,444 phantom stock units. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, total share-based compensation expense was $2.4 million ($1.5 million after tax) and $4.9 million ($3.1 million after tax), respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, total share-based compensation expense was $1.6 million ($1.0 million after tax) and $3.4 million ($2.1 million after tax), respectively.

NOTE 9. Income Taxes
          GATX’s effective tax rate was 25% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. In the prior year, GATX’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was reduced by $3.7 million in connection with the close of various federal and foreign tax audits. Excluding the effect of the tax benefits, GATX’s effective rate for the first six months of 2010 was 29%. The difference in GATX’s effective tax rate was largely driven by variability in the mix of pre-tax income, including share of affiliates’ earnings, among domestic and foreign jurisdictions, which are taxed at different rates.
          As of June 30, 2011, GATX’s gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits totaled $43.3 million, which, if fully recognized, would decrease income tax expense by $23.3 million ($21.2 million net of federal tax).

NOTE 11. Earnings Per Share
          Basic earnings per share were computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Shares issued or reacquired during the period, if applicable, were weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings per share give effect to potentially dilutive securities, including convertible preferred stock, employee stock options/SARs, restricted stock and convertible debt.

NOTE 12. Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies
          Various legal actions, claims, assessments and other contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business are pending against GATX and certain of its subsidiaries. These matters are subject to many uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters could ultimately be decided, resolved or settled adversely. For a discussion of these matters, please refer to Note 22 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as set forth in GATX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Except as noted below, there have been no material changes or developments in these matters.

Polskie Koleje Panstwowe S.A. v. DEC sp. z o.o.
          In December 2005, Polskie Koleje Panstwowe S.A. (“PKP”) filed a complaint, Polskie Koleje Panstwowe S.A. v. DEC sp. z o.o., in the Regional Court in Warsaw, Poland against DEC sp. z o.o. (“DEC”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company currently named GATX Rail Poland, sp. z o.o. The complaint alleges that, prior to GATX’s acquisition of DEC in 2001, DEC breached a Conditional Sales Agreement (the “Agreement”) to purchase shares of Kolsped S.A. (“Kolsped”), an indirect subsidiary of PKP. The allegedly breached condition required DEC to obtain a release of Kolsped’s ultimate parent company, PKP, from its guarantee of Kolsped’s promissory note securing a $9.8 million bank loan. Pursuant to an amendment to the Agreement, DEC satisfied this condition by providing PKP with a blank promissory note (the “DEC Note”) and a promissory note declaration which allowed PKP to fill in the DEC Note up to $10 million in the event a demand was made upon it as guarantor of Kolsped’s note to the bank (the “Kolsped Note”). In May 1999, the then current holder of the Kolsped Note, a bank (“Bank”), sued PKP under its guarantee. PKP lost the DEC Note and therefore did not use it to satisfy the guarantee, and the Bank ultimately secured a judgment against PKP in 2002. PKP also failed to notify DEC of the Bank’s lawsuit while the lawsuit was pending.
          After exhausting its appeals of the judgment entered against it, PKP filed suit against DEC in December 2005, alleging that DEC failed to fulfill its obligation to release PKP as a guarantor of the Kolsped Note and is purportedly liable to PKP, as a third party beneficiary of the Agreement. DEC filed an answer to the complaint denying the material allegations and raising numerous defenses, including, among others, that: (i) the Agreement did not create an actionable obligation, but rather was a condition precedent to the purchase of shares in Kolsped; (ii) DEC fulfilled that condition by issuing the DEC Note, which was subsequently lost by PKP and redeemed by a Polish court; (iii) PKP was not a third party beneficiary of the Agreement; and (iv) the action is barred by the governing limitations period. The first day of trial was held on March 5, 2008, and the second and final day of trial was held on December 7, 2009. On February 16, 2010, the court issued a written opinion in favor of DEC and rejecting all of PKP’s claims. PKP appealed and, on March 24, 2011, the Court of Appeals rejected the appeal and affirmed the trial court’s ruling. A further appeal by PKP to the Supreme Court is pending.
          As of June 30, 2011, PKP’s claims for damages totaled approximately PLN 144.1 million, or $52.6 million, which consists of the principal amount, interest and costs allegedly paid by it to the Bank and statutory interest. Statutory interest would be assessed only if, on remand, the Court of Appeals or the trial court ultimately awards damages to PKP, in which case interest would be assessed on the amount of the award from the date of filing of the claim in December 2005, to the date of the award. The Company has recorded an accrual of $15.6 million for this litigation pending final resolution on appeal. While the ultimate resolution of this matter for an amount in excess of this accrual is possible, the Company believes that any such excess would not be material to its financial position or liquidity. However, such resolution could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.
NOTE 13. Financial Data of Business Segments
          GATX leases, operates and manages long-lived, widely-used assets in the rail, marine and industrial equipment markets. GATX also invests in joint ventures that complement existing business activities. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, GATX has three financial reporting segments: Rail, Specialty and ASC.
          Rail is principally engaged in leasing tank and freight railcars, and locomotives. Rail provides railcars primarily pursuant to full-service leases, under which it maintains the railcars, pays ad valorem taxes and insurance, and provides other ancillary services. Rail also offers net leases for railcars and most of its locomotives, in which case the lessee is responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes.
          Specialty provides leasing, asset remarketing and asset management services to the marine and industrial equipment markets. Specialty offers operating leases, direct finance leases and loans, and extends its market reach through joint venture investments.
          ASC owns and operates the largest fleet of U.S. flagged self-unloading vessels on the Great Lakes, providing waterborne transportation of dry bulk commodities for a range of industrial customers.

          Segment profit is an internal performance measure used by the Chief Executive Officer to assess the performance of each segment in a given period. Segment profit includes all revenues, including earnings from affiliates, attributable to the segments as well as ownership and operating costs that management believes are directly associated with the maintenance or operation of the revenue-earning assets. Operating costs include maintenance costs, marine operating costs and other operating costs such as litigation, asset impairment charges, provisions for losses, environmental costs and asset storage costs. Segment profit excludes selling, general and administrative expenses, income taxes and certain other amounts not allocated to the segments. These amounts are included in Other.
          GATX allocates debt balances and related interest expense to each segment based upon a pre-determined fixed recourse leverage level expressed as a ratio of recourse debt (including off balance sheet debt) to equity. The leverage levels for Rail, Specialty and ASC are set at 4:1, 3:1 and 1.5:1, respectively. Management believes that by utilizing this leverage and interest expense allocation methodology, each operating segment’s financial performance reflects appropriate risk-adjusted borrowing costs.
          The following tables depict the profitability, financial position and capital expenditures of each of GATX’s business segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in millions):

DISCUSSION OF OPERATING RESULTS
          Net income was $46.3 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2011 compared to net income of $40.2 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2010. The 2011 results include $12.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, of after-tax unrealized gains related to certain interest rate swaps at GATX’s European Rail affiliate, AAE Cargo A.G. (“AAE”). Results for the first six months of 2010 include a net benefit of $2.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in aggregate after-tax income related to the favorable resolution of a litigation matter and a reversal of an income tax accrual, partially offset by unrealized losses related to certain interest rate swaps at AAE.
          Net income was $26.4 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011 compared to net income of $21.5 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010. Results for the second quarter of 2011 include $6.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, of after-tax unrealized gains related to certain interest rate swaps at AAE. Second quarter 2010 results include a net benefit of $3.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in aggregate after-tax income related to the favorable resolution of a litigation matter and a reversal of an income tax accrual, partially offset by unrealized losses related to the previously mentioned interest rate swaps at AAE.
          Total investment volume was $260.1 million for the first six months of 2011 compared to $131.1 million for the first six months of 2010.

Segment Operations
          Segment profit is an internal performance measure used by the Chief Executive Officer to assess the performance of each segment in a given period. Segment profit includes all revenues and GATX’s share of affiliates’ earnings attributable to the segments as well as ownership and operating costs that management believes are directly associated with the maintenance or operation of the revenue-earning assets. Operating costs include maintenance costs, marine operating costs, and other operating costs such as litigation, asset impairment charges, provisions for losses, environmental costs and asset storage costs. Segment profit excludes selling, general and administrative expenses, income taxes and certain other amounts not allocated to the segments. These amounts are discussed below in Other.
          GATX allocates debt balances and related interest expense to each segment based upon a pre-determined fixed recourse leverage level expressed as a ratio of recourse debt (including off balance sheet debt) to equity. The leverage levels for Rail, Specialty and ASC are set at 4:1, 3:1 and 1.5:1, respectively. Management believes that by utilizing this leverage and interest expense allocation methodology, each operating segment’s financial performance reflects appropriate risk-adjusted borrowing costs.
Rail
          Market conditions continued to improve in the second quarter of 2011 as U.S. carloadings increased, idle railcars declined, and lease rate pricing improved. Rail’s utilization in North America increased to 98.2% compared to 97.8% at the end of the first quarter and 96.5% at June 30, 2010. Lease rates on renewals and assignments also improved during the quarter as indicated by the average lease renewal rate on cars in the GATX Lease Price Index (the “LPI”, see definition below), which increased 4.4% from the average expiring lease rate, compared to decreases of 0.5% for the first quarter and 18.6% for the second quarter of 2010. Rail entered 2011 with approximately 21,000 cars on leases scheduled to expire during the year, of which approximately 8,700 occurred through the second quarter. The majority of these leases were either renewed or the underlying railcars were placed with new customers. Lease terms on renewals for cars in the LPI averaged 41 months in the current quarter and the first quarter, compared to 36 months for the second quarter of 2010. Rail is highly focused on lease pricing improvement in this recovering market. In Europe, Rail’s wholly-owned tank car fleet has increased due to investments in new cars. At the end of the second quarter of 2011, fleet utilization was 95.7% compared to 95.8% at the end of the first quarter and 94.4% at June 30, 2010. AAE, which serves the freight railcar markets, is experiencing some improvement in its markets and fleet utilization is increasing. During the first six months of 2011, Rail’s investment volume was $156.3 million, compared to $88.5 million in 2010. In March 2011, GATX entered into an agreement to acquire 12,500 newly built railcars that are expected to deliver ratably over a five-year period.

GATX Lease Price Index
          The GATX Lease Price Index is an internally generated business indicator that measures general lease rate pricing on renewals within Rail’s North American fleet. The index reflects the weighted average lease rate for a select group of railcar types that Rail 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.

Comparison of the First Six Months of 2011 to the First Six Months of 2010
Segment Profit
          Rail’s segment profit for the first six months of 2011 reflects unrealized gains of $14.1 million representing the change in the fair value of certain interest rate swaps at AAE, while segment profit for the first six months of 2010 reflects unrealized losses of $5.9 million related to the interest rate swaps. Excluding the effect of these items from each period, Rail’s segment profit increased $9.6 million, primarily due to higher lease and asset remarketing income and higher scrapping gains, partially offset by lower affiliate earnings and higher maintenance costs in Europe.
Gross Income
          Lease income in North America increased $5.5 million, primarily due to an average of 2,500 more railcars and 50 more locomotives on lease, partially offset by the effect of lower renewal rates over the past year. In Europe, a $10.0 million increase in lease income was driven primarily by an average of approximately 500 more railcars on lease and the foreign exchange rate effects of a weaker U.S. dollar. Asset remarketing income increased $1.9 million primarily due to more railcar sales in the current year. Other income was $2.6 million higher, primarily due to higher scrapping gains resulting from higher scrap steel rates, partially offset by the absence of income from end-of-lease settlements received in the prior year. Affiliates’ earnings increased $11.5 million from the prior year. Excluding the impact of the aforementioned interest rate swaps at AAE from the current and prior years, affiliates’ earnings declined $8.5 million, primarily due to the combination of a current year charge related to a bankrupt customer at AAE and the absence of a prior year asset remarketing gain at another affiliate.
          AAE holds multiple derivative instruments intended to hedge interest rate risk associated with forecasted floating rate debt issuances. These instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting and as a result, changes in their fair values are recognized currently in income. The unrealized gains and losses were primarily driven by changes in the underlying benchmark interest rates. AAE’s earnings may be impacted by future unrealized gains or losses associated with these instruments.
Ownership Costs
          Ownership costs were $2.0 million higher than prior year, primarily due to the combination of higher interest and depreciation expense related to new investments, including capitalized wheelsets in Europe, partially offset by lower operating lease expense resulting from the purchase of previously leased-in assets.

Table of Contents

Other Costs and Expenses
          In North America, maintenance costs increased by $1.2 million, primarily due to higher railroad repair volumes, partially offset by fewer base fleet repairs and lower regulatory compliance costs. In Europe, maintenance costs were $4.5 million higher, primarily due to a higher volume of underframe revisions in the current year and the foreign exchange effects of a weaker U.S. dollar.
          Other costs in 2011 were $5.8 million lower than the prior year, primarily due to lower asset impairment charges, lower storage and switching fees, and net remeasurement gains on non-functional currency assets and liabilities in the current year compared to net losses in the prior year. Asset impairment charges of $1.9 million in the current year primarily related to wheelsets scrapped in Europe in connection with the wheelset replacement program. Asset impairments in the prior year primarily consisted of a $4.8 million charge in North America attributable to an Association of American Railroads industry-wide regulatory mandate that resulted in a significant decrease to the expected economic life of 358 GATX aluminum hopper railcars.
Comparison of the Second Quarter 2011 to the Second Quarter 2010
Segment Profit
          Rail’s segment profit for the second quarter of 2011 reflects unrealized gains of $6.9 million representing the change in the fair value of certain interest rate swaps at AAE, while segment profit for the second quarter of 2010 reflects unrealized losses of $5.0 million related to the interest rate swaps. Excluding the effect of these items from each period, Rail’s segment profit increased $15.4 million, primarily due to higher lease and asset remarketing income and higher scrapping gains.
Gross Income
          Lease income in North America increased $3.3 million, primarily due to an average of 2,400 more railcars and 36 more locomotives on lease. In Europe, a $7.7 million increase in lease income was driven primarily by an average of approximately 500 more railcars on lease and higher lease rates, as well as by the foreign exchange effects of a weaker U.S. dollar. Asset remarketing income increased $6.8 million due to higher railcar sales in the current year. Other income was $2.1 million higher, primarily due to higher scrapping gains resulting from higher scrap steel rates. Share of affiliates’ earnings was $13.0 million higher than the prior year period. Excluding the impact of the aforementioned interest rate swaps at AAE from the current and prior years, affiliates’ earnings increased $1.1 million, primarily due to improved operating income at AAE and a current year asset remarketing gain at another affiliate.
Ownership Costs
          Ownership costs were comparable to the prior year.
Other Costs and Expenses
          In North America, maintenance costs decreased $1.8 million, largely due to fewer base fleet repairs and regulatory compliance costs, partially offset by higher railroad repair volumes. In Europe, maintenance costs were $5.9 million higher, primarily due to a higher volume of underframe revisions in the current year, the foreign exchange effects of a weaker U.S. dollar and the timing of the capitalization of new wheelsets in the prior year in connection with the wheelset replacement program.
Specialty
          Specialty’s total asset base, including off balance sheet assets, was $802.5 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $744.4 million at December 31, 2010, and $699.4 million at June 30, 2010. Investment volume was $89.3 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to $33.1 million in the prior year period. Investments in 2011 primarily consisted of $51.1 million of equity investments in joint ventures, $19.1 million in senior secured loans and $19.1 million in marine assets. Specialty continues to evaluate investment opportunities in a disciplined manner, focusing on targeted asset types, asset cost and appropriate risk adjusted returns. Market conditions for Specialty’s marine affiliates remain challenging due to a combination of inconsistent demand for marine transport services and vessel overcapacity in these markets.

Comparison of the First Six Months of 2011 to the First Six Months of 2010
Segment Profit
          Specialty’s segment profit for the first six months of 2011 was $7.1 million lower than the prior year, primarily due to lower affiliate earnings and lower asset remarketing income.
Gross Income
          Lease income was $1.5 million higher than the prior year, primarily due to income from new leases and higher pooled barge income. Asset remarketing income was $3.1 million lower than the prior year due to fewer asset sales. Other income was $1.4 million higher than the prior year, primarily due to gains on the sale of securities in the current year. Share of affiliates’ earnings decreased $4.3 million, primarily due to an adjustment attributable to an accounting change for residual value guarantees.
Ownership Costs
          Ownership costs were $1.2 million higher than the prior year, primarily due to depreciation and interest expenses on new investments.
Other Costs and Expenses
          Other costs and expenses increased $1.4 million, primarily due to higher operating costs for pooled barges and the absence of a bad debt recovery received in the prior year.

Share of affiliates’ earnings decreased $4.6 million, primarily due to an asset remarketing gain on the sale of a vessel in the prior year and lower earnings from marine affiliates in the current year.
Ownership Costs
          Ownership costs were $0.6 million higher than the prior year, primarily due to depreciation and interest expenses on new investments.
Other Costs and Expenses
          Other costs and expenses increased $1.8 million, primarily due to higher operating costs for pooled barges.
ASC
          Higher steel production in the first half of the year drove strong customer demand for iron ore. However, challenging weather conditions and some mechanical delays limited potential freight volume. As a result, during the first six months of 2011, ASC carried 9.0 million net tons of freight compared to 9.6 million net tons in the prior year. ASC was operating 12 vessels at the end of the current quarter and deployed 2 additional vessels in July, compared to operating 13 vessels in the prior year. ASC expects steady customer demand for tonnage through the remainder of the year; however, operations may be affected by the outcome of the labor negotiations described below under “ASC Labor Agreement.”

Comparison of the First Six Months of 2011 to the First Six Months of 2010
Segment Profit
          ASC’s segment profit for the first six months of 2011 was slightly lower than the prior year as higher maintenance costs were largely offset by a gain realized on the return of a leased-in vessel.
Gross Income
          Gross income increased $8.2 million, primarily due to a combination of higher freight rates, a gain on the return of a leased-in vessel and higher fuel surcharges (the effect of which is largely offset in operating expenses).
Ownership Costs
          Ownership costs were comparable to the prior year.
Other Costs and Expenses
          Maintenance costs were $1.4 million higher, primarily due to more extensive winter work. Marine operating expenses increased $6.6 million, primarily due to increased fuel costs, which are recoverable through fuel surcharges.
Comparison of the Second Quarter of 2011 to the Second Quarter of 2010
Segment Profit
          ASC’s segment profit for the second quarter of 2011 was $0.5 million lower than the prior year, primarily due to higher maintenance costs, partially offset by the previously noted gain.
Gross Income
          Gross income increased $5.4 million, primarily due to a combination of higher freight rates, a gain on the return of a leased-in vessel and higher fuel surcharges (the effect of which is largely offset in operating expenses).
Ownership Costs
          Ownership costs increased $0.4 million, primarily due to depreciation expense on capitalized costs.
Other Costs and Expenses
          Maintenance costs increased $1.4 million, primarily due to more extensive winter work. Marine operating expenses increased $4.1 million, primarily due to increased costs for fuel, which are recoverable through fuel surcharges.
ASC Labor Agreement
          Licensed crew members working aboard ASC’s Great Lakes vessels are represented for collective bargaining by the American Maritime Officers union (the “AMO”). The current collective bargaining agreement between ASC and the AMO expires on August 1, 2011. ASC is trying to negotiate with the AMO on a successor agreement. In any collective bargaining situation, there is always a risk that negotiations will not be successful and that a labor dispute could result. ASC has developed a contingency plan to minimize the impact of any potential labor dispute on operations and does not anticipate that a labor dispute would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or cash flows; however, a prolonged dispute could negatively impact GATX’s results of operations in a particular quarter or year.

Other
          Other is comprised of selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”), unallocated interest expense and miscellaneous income and expense not directly associated with the reporting segments, and eliminations.

          SG&A in 2011 was $7.5 million and $4.6 million higher for the first six months and second quarter, respectively, compared to the prior year. The increases were primarily due to higher compensation expenses, IT expenditures and outside services spending, partially offset by lower pension expense. Unallocated interest expense (the difference between external interest expense and amounts allocated to the reporting segments in accordance with assigned leverage targets) for the first six months of 2011 was comparable to the prior year. Second quarter unallocated interest expense was $0.9 million higher in 2011 than the prior year, primarily due to the timing of debt issuances and investment funding. Other income and expense for the first six months and second quarter of 2010 primarily reflected a $6.5 million benefit from the resolution of a litigation matter, partially offset by a $2.0 million addition to an environmental reserve related to a sold facility.
Income Taxes
          GATX’s effective tax rate was 25% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. In the prior year, GATX’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was reduced by $3.7 million in connection with the close of various federal and foreign tax audits. Excluding the effect of the tax benefits, GATX’s effective rate for the first six months of 2010 was 29%. The difference in GATX’s effective tax rate was largely driven by variability in the mix of pre-tax income, including share of affiliates’ earnings, among domestic and foreign jurisdictions, which are taxed at different rates.
          As of June 30, 2011, GATX’s gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits totaled $43.3 million, which, if fully recognized, would decrease income tax expense by $23.3 million ($21.2 million net of federal tax).
Cash Flow and Liquidity
          GATX generates a significant amount of cash from its operating activities and proceeds from its investment portfolio, which is used to service debt, pay dividends, and fund portfolio investments and capital additions. Cash flows from operations and portfolio proceeds are impacted by changes in working capital and the timing of asset dispositions. As a result, cash flow components may vary materially from quarter to quarter and year to year. As of June 30, 2011, GATX had unrestricted cash balances of $50.2 million.

          Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2011 was $116.4 million, an increase of $30.4 million from the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher lease income, lower operating lease payments and net refunds for income and value added taxes in the current year compared to net payments in the prior year, partially offset by lower dividends from affiliates in the current year and the absence of a prior year litigation recovery. The prior year also included a $13.1 million negative adjustment to cash from operations resulting from the correction of the overstatement of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2009.
          Portfolio investments and capital additions for the first six months of 2011 totaled $260.1 million, an increase of $129.0 million from the prior year. Rail and Specialty investments in 2011 were $156.3 million and $89.3 million, respectively, compared to $88.5 million and $33.1 million, respectively, in 2010.
          Portfolio proceeds for the first six months of 2011 of $78.7 million increased by $36.3 million from the prior year, primarily due to higher proceeds from asset sales and finance lease principal receipts. Proceeds from sales of other assets of $21.2 million for the first six months of 2011 increased by $6.7 million from the prior year and primarily consisted of cash received from the scrapping of railcars.
          GATX funds its investments and meets its debt, lease and dividend obligations through available cash balances, cash generated from operating activities, portfolio proceeds, sales of other assets, commercial paper issuances, committed revolving credit facilities and the issuance of secured and unsecured debt. Cash from operations and commercial paper issuances are the primary sources of cash used to fund daily operations. GATX utilizes both domestic and international capital markets and banks for its debt financing needs.
          Proceeds from the issuance of debt for the first six months of 2011 were $352.7 million (net of hedges and debt issuance costs). Debt repayments of $238.8 million for the first six months of 2011 primarily consisted of scheduled debt maturities and net repayments of short-term borrowings.

(a)   Short-term borrowings in North America consist solely of commercial paper issued in the U.S. Short-term borrowings in Europe consist solely of borrowings under bank credit facilities.
          In the second quarter of 2011, GATX terminated its existing $550 million senior unsecured revolving bank facility, and entered into a new 4-year senior unsecured revolving bank facility. The new facility amount is $560 million with a May 2015 maturity, and the covenants are substantially unchanged from the prior facility. As of June 30, 2011, availability under the new facility was $495.9 million, with $54.5 million of commercial paper outstanding and $9.6 million of letters of credit issued, both of which are backed by the facility.
Restrictive Covenants
          The $560 million revolving credit facility contains various restrictive covenants, including requirements to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and an asset coverage test. Certain bank term loans have the same financial covenants as the facility and another borrowing contains various restrictive covenants and certain negative pledge provisions. The indentures for GATX’s public debt also contain various restrictive covenants, including limitation on liens provisions, that limit the amount of secured indebtedness that GATX may incur, subject to several exceptions, including those permitting an unlimited amount of purchase money indebtedness and nonrecourse indebtedness. The loan agreements for certain of GATX’s wholly-owned European Rail subsidiaries (collectively, “GRE”) also contain restrictive covenants, including leverage and cash flow covenants specific to those subsidiaries, restrictions on making loans and limitations on the ability of these subsidiaries to repay loans to certain related parties (including GATX) and to pay dividends to GATX. The covenants relating to loans and dividends effectively limit the ability of GRE to transfer funds to GATX. GATX does not anticipate any covenant violations nor does it anticipate that any of these covenants will restrict its operations or its ability to procure additional financing. As of June 30, 2011, GATX was in compliance with all covenants and conditions of its credit agreements.
Credit Ratings
          The availability of GATX’s funding options may be affected by certain factors, including the global capital market environment and outlook as well as GATX’s financial performance. GATX’s access to capital markets at competitive rates is dependent on its credit rating and rating outlook, as determined by rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investor Service (“Moody’s”). As of June 30, 2011, GATX’s long-term unsecured debt was rated BBB by S&P and Baa1 by Moody’s. GATX’s rating outlook from both agencies was stable. GATX’s short-term unsecured debt was rated A-2 by S&P and P-2 by Moody’s.

Critical Accounting Policies
          There have been no changes to GATX’s critical accounting policies during the six months ending June 30, 2011; refer to GATX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, for a summary of GATX’s policies.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
          This report includes certain financial performance measures computed using non-GAAP components as defined by the SEC. GATX has provided a reconciliation of those non-GAAP components to the most directly comparable GAAP components. Financial measures disclosed in this report are meant to provide additional information and insight into the historical operating results and financial position of the Company. Management uses these measures in analyzing GATX’s financial performance from period to period and in making compensation decisions. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP and may be different from, or inconsistent with, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
          GATX presents the financial measures of return on equity and net income that exclude the effect of certain items. Management believes that excluding these items facilitates a more meaningful comparison of financial performance between reporting periods and provides transparency into the operating results of GATX’s business. In addition, GATX discloses total on and off balance sheet assets because a significant portion of GATX’s rail fleet has been financed through sale-leasebacks that are accounted for as operating leases and the assets are not recorded on the balance sheet. Management believes this information provides investors with a better representation of the assets deployed in GATX’s businesses.
Glossary of Key Terms
    Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Numerical or percentage based measures of a company’s historical performance, financial position or liquidity calculated using a component different from that presented in the financial statements as prepared in accordance with GAAP.
 
    Net Income, Excluding Certain Items — Earnings in 2010 and 2011 excluding gains and/or losses on certain interest rate swaps at AAE, the favorable resolution of a litigation matter and certain tax benefits. GATX believes these items are not indicative of its operational performance.
 
    Off Balance Sheet Assets — Assets, primarily railcars, which are financed with operating leases and therefore not recorded on the balance sheet. GATX estimates the off balance sheet asset amount by calculating the present value of committed future operating lease payments using the interest rate implicit in each lease.
 
    On Balance Sheet Assets — Total assets as reported on the balance sheet.
