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 (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the entire year ending December 31, 2008. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2007, as set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
     GATX adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), effective January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no effect on GATX’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 12 for a complete discussion of SFAS No. 157.
New Accounting Pronouncements
     In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Staff Position No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP No. APB 14-1” or the “FSP”), which clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. The FSP requires issuers of applicable convertible debt instruments to account separately for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt (unsecured debt) borrowing rate. The FSP requires bifurcation of a component of the convertible debt, classification of that component as equity, and then accretion of the resulting discount on the debt as additional interest expense over the expected term of the debt. The FSP requires retrospective application to all periods presented. The FSP is effective for GATX as of January 1, 2009, and early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this FSP will affect the accounting for GATX’s current 5% convertible notes due 2023 and its previous 7.25% convertible notes that matured in February 2007. GATX is presently evaluating the impact that the application of this FSP will have to its consolidated financial position and results of its operations.
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 in both domestic and foreign markets.
     Operating results for all affiliated companies, assuming GATX held a 100% interest, would be (in millions):

     The amounts reported herein are based on estimated annual costs. Actual annual costs for the year ending December 31, 2008, may differ from these estimates.
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):
                 
    June 30     December 31  
    2008     2007  
Affiliate guarantees
  $ 20.7     $ 20.7

Standby letters of credit and bonds
    17.7       17.7  
 
           
 
  $ 260.6     $ 306.7  
 
           
     At June 30, 2008, the recorded value of GATX’s guarantees was a liability of $9.7 million. The expirations of these guarantees range from 2008 to 2019.
     Affiliate guarantees generally involve guaranteeing repayment of the financing utilized by an affiliate to acquire or lease-

in assets, which are subsequently leased-out to third parties, and are in lieu of making direct equity investments in the affiliate. GATX is not aware of any event of default which 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. Revenue is earned for providing these guarantees in the form of an initial fee (which is amortized into income over the guarantee period) and by sharing in any proceeds received upon disposition of the assets to the extent such proceeds are in excess of the amount guaranteed (which is recognized when realized). Any liability resulting from GATX’s performance pursuant to these guarantees will be reduced by the value realized from the underlying asset or group of assets. Historically, gains associated with the settlement of residual value guarantees have exceeded any losses and were recorded in asset remarketing income in the consolidated statements of income. Based on known facts and current market conditions, management does not believe that the asset residual value guarantees will result in any significant adverse financial impact to the Company. GATX believes these asset residual value guarantees will likely generate future income in the form of fees and residual sharing proceeds.
     Lease payment guarantees represent GATX’s guarantees to financial institutions of finance and operating lease payments of unrelated parties in exchange for a fee.
     Other consists of GATX’s indemnification of Airbus S.A.S. (“Airbus”) for amounts Airbus may be required to pay under certain specified circumstances to GATX Flightlease Aircraft Ltd. (“GFAC”), a joint venture partially owned by GATX, in connection with an aircraft purchase contract entered into by GFAC and Airbus in 2001. GATX’s indemnification obligation is capped at $77.8 million. No liability has been recorded with respect to this indemnification as GATX believes that the likelihood of having to perform under the indemnity is remote.
     GATX and its subsidiaries are also parties to standing letters of credit and bonds primarily related to workers’ compensation and general liability insurance coverage. No material claims have been made against these obligations. At June 30, 2008, GATX does not expect any material losses to result from these off balance sheet instruments because performance is not anticipated to be required.
NOTE 6. Variable Interest Entities
     GATX has ownership interests in certain investments that are considered Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46(R)”). GATX does not believe it is the primary beneficiary with respect to any of its VIEs and therefore does not consolidate them. These entities are generally involved in railcar and equipment leasing activities. The nature of GATX’s involvement with these entities primarily consists of equity investments and leveraged leases which were acquired or entered into between 1994 and 2002. GATX continues to evaluate new investments for the application of FIN 46(R) and regularly reviews all existing VIEs in connection with any reconsideration events (as defined in FIN 46(R)) that may result in GATX becoming the primary beneficiary. As of June 30, 2008, GATX’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to its VIEs was approximately $123.5 million, of which $103.6 million was the aggregate carrying value of these investments recorded on its balance sheet. The difference between the carrying value and maximum loss exposure relates to GATX’s guarantee of an affiliate’s lease obligation that runs through 2018.

NOTE 8. Share-Based Compensation
     In the first six months of 2008, GATX granted 307,100 stock appreciation rights (“SAR”), 64,458 restricted stock units and 72,550 performance shares. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, total share-based compensation expense was $2.3 million ($1.4 million after tax) and $4.6 million ($2.8 million after tax), respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, total share-based compensation expense was $3.2 million ($2.0 million after tax) and $5.2 million ($3.2 million after tax), respectively.
     The weighted average estimated fair value of GATX’s 2008 SAR awards and underlying assumptions thereof are noted in the table below. The vesting period for the 2008 SAR grant is three years, with 1/3 vesting after each year.

NOTE 9. Income Taxes
     GATX’s effective tax rate for continuing operations was 28% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to 36% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. In 2008, the statute of limitations on a state income tax position taken in a prior period expired resulting in the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits of $6.8 million. Additionally, lower statutory rates in a number of foreign jurisdictions have benefited GATX’s overall effective tax rate.
     As of June 30, 2008, GATX’s gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits totaled $50.4 million, which, if fully recognized, would decrease income tax expense by $33.8 million ($31.7 million net of federal tax).
NOTE 10. Capital Structure and Earnings Per Share
     In the first six months of 2008, holders of GATX’s 5.0% senior unsecured notes (the “2003 Notes”) converted $64.7 million of notes, of which $0.7 million was settled in cash and $64.0 million was settled with shares. A total of 2.6 million common shares were issued as a result and no gain or loss was recognized. Additionally, upon conversion, holders of the 2003 Notes forfeited accrued but unpaid interest as of the conversion date. In 2008, forfeited interest due to conversions was $1.0 million, net of tax effects, which was recorded as an adjustment to additional paid in capital. At June 30, 2008, $42.1 million of 2003 Notes were outstanding and convertible at a conversion price of $24.81 per share. The 2003 Notes also carry a contingent interest provision that beginning on August 15, 2008, if the average trading price of the 2003 Notes equals 120% or more of the principal amount of the 2003 Notes, GATX may be required to pay additional interest for any six month period equal to 0.25% of the trading price of $1,000 principal amount of the 2003 Notes. GATX may avoid paying this contingent interest by calling the 2003 Notes prior to the record date for the contingent interest period.
     On January 23, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $200 million common stock repurchase program. As of June 30, 2008, 2.1 million shares have been repurchased for $76.5 million, all of which occurred in the first quarter. No repurchases were made in the second quarter as the Company has opted to retain this capital to support investment opportunities that may become available. The repurchased shares were recorded as treasury stock under the cost method.
     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 the impact of potentially dilutive securities, including convertible preferred stock, stock options, SARs, restricted stock and convertible debt.

NOTE 11. Financial Data of Business Segments
     The financial data presented below conforms to SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, and depicts the profitability, financial position and capital expenditures of each of GATX’s continuing 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 and related remarketing and asset management services in the marine and industrial equipment markets. The Specialty portfolio consists primarily of operating and direct finance lease assets; joint venture investments; loans; and interests in residual values involving a variety of underlying asset types, including marine, rail, industrial and other equipment.
     ASC operates a fleet of self-unloading marine vessels on the Great Lakes and is exclusively engaged in the waterborne transportation of dry bulk commodities.

     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 affiliate 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, asset impairment charges and other operating costs such as litigation, 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 an appropriate risk-adjusted cost of capital and is presented on a comparable basis.

NOTE 12. Fair Value Disclosure
     The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 applies to all financial instruments being measured and reported on a fair value basis.
     SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
     Level 1 — Quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of financial instruments included in Level 1 are marketable equity available for sale securities that are traded in an active exchange market.
     Level 2 — Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Instruments included in this category are warrants and derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
     Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 includes assets and liabilities whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant

NOTE 13. 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 18 Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007. 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. Zo.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”) which was 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 has 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 declared invalid 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 day is scheduled for September 16, 2008.
     PKP claims damages in the amount of PLN 88,239,219, which consists of the principal amount, interest and costs allegedly paid by it to the Bank. PKP is also claiming an unquantified amount of statutory interest on any amounts that the court may eventually award to PKP. Statutory interest would be assessed only if the court 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. Based on current exchange rates, the potential exposure to DEC in the event of an adverse judgment, including the damages sought by PKP and any statutory interest that may be assessed thereon, is estimated to be approximately $52 million.
     GATX Rail Poland intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit. However, the Company has recorded an accrual for $11.8 million representing management’s best estimate of a probable settlement amount. 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.

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, including affiliate 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, asset impairment charges and other operating costs such as litigation, 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 items are discussed below under 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 an appropriate risk-adjusted cost of capital and is presented on a comparable basis.
Rail
Segment Summary
     In the current quarter, North American average lease renewal pricing on cars in the GATX Lease Price Index (LPI) increased 5.9% over the average expiring lease rates, compared to increases of 11.6% for the first quarter and 10.1% for the fourth quarter of 2007. Lease terms on renewals for LPI cars averaged 63 months in the second quarter of 2008, compared to 65 months for the first quarter and 68 months for the fourth quarter of 2007. Utilization of the North American fleet was 98.0%, substantially unchanged from the end of the first quarter and prior year. While utilization has remained stable, it should be noted that the active fleet size has declined slightly, reflecting higher than normal scrapping activity. The North American rail market continues to demonstrate some weakness, particularly impacting demand for railcars serving housing and automotive related industries. In Europe, fleet utilization increased slightly to 97.7% from 97.5% at the end of the first quarter, as demand remained strong across all railcar types. While rail market conditions in Europe remained strong during the quarter, there are some early indications that the economic conditions in some Western European countries may be softening.
     During the first six months of 2008, Rail’s portfolio investments were $128.0 million compared to $184.8 million for the comparable prior year period. Rail’s portfolio investments in 2008 have consisted primarily of new railcars acquired pursuant to existing commitments.

Comparison of the First Six Months of 2008 to the First Six Months of 2007
Segment Profit
     Rail’s segment profit rose 6.5% or $8.8 million over 2007. The increase primarily resulted from the effects of lease renewal rate increases, higher scrapping gains and the net effects of foreign exchange rates. Partially offsetting these increases were lower asset remarketing gains, higher fleet maintenance costs and mark-to-market losses on certain derivative hedging instruments recorded in earnings at Rail’s AAE Cargo affiliate.
Gross Income
     Gross income for the first six months of 2008 was $31.2 million higher than the prior year. In North America, lease income increased $6.3 million, primarily reflecting renewal lease rate increases experienced over the past 12 months. Additionally, locomotive lease income increased $3.6 million, primarily due to over 100 additional locomotives on lease. In Europe, lease income increased $17.8 million, of which $13.0 million was the result of strengthening foreign currencies and $4.8 million was largely due to an average of over 1,000 additional railcars on lease. Asset remarketing income decreased $6.3 million as the prior year included the sale of approximately 1,200 railcars and 40 locomotives. Other income increased $13.6 million, primarily due to higher scrapping gains in North America and a lease termination fee received in 2008. Compared to the prior year, over 900 more cars have been scrapped at record scrap steel prices, resulting in a $8.2 million increase in North American scrapping gains. Affiliate earnings decreased primarily as a result of a $3.8 million derivative valuation loss at AAE.
Ownership Costs
     Ownership costs increased $8.1 million, of which $6.1 million was the result of strengthening foreign currencies and the balance largely due to depreciation associated with investment volume of $430.8 million over the last 12 months. Interest costs were relatively unchanged as the effect of higher debt levels was largely offset by lower interest rates.

Table of Contents

Operating Costs
     Maintenance expenses increased $17.3 million, primarily the result of higher car repair volumes, increased repairs performed by railroads and the effects of foreign exchange rates. In North America, maintenance costs were higher largely due to increased assignments, more cars undergoing scheduled regulatory maintenance, increased wheelset replacements performed by railroads and the effect of Canadian foreign exchange rates. In Europe, strengthening foreign currencies and increased railcars undergoing scheduled regulatory maintenance contributed to the increase. Other operating costs decreased $3.0 million, primarily due to the impact of non-functional currency asset and liability revaluations.
Comparison of the Second Quarter 2008 to the Second Quarter 2007
Segment Profit
     Rail’s segment profit rose 3.2% or $2.2 million over 2007. The increase primarily resulted from the effects of lease renewal rate increases, higher scrapping gains and the net effects of foreign exchange rates. Partially offsetting these increases were lower asset remarketing gains, higher fleet maintenance costs and mark-to-market losses on certain derivative hedging instruments recorded in earnings at Rail’s AAE Cargo affiliate.
Gross Income
     Gross income for the second quarter of 2008 was $11.5 million higher than the prior year. In North America, lease income increased $2.0 million, primarily reflecting renewal lease rate increases experienced over the past 12 months. Additionally, locomotive lease income increased $1.8 million primarily due to over 100 additional locomotives on lease. In Europe, lease income increased $9.2 million, of which $7.1 million was the result of strengthening foreign currencies and $2.1 million was due to an average of over 900 additional railcars on lease. Asset remarketing income decreased $7.5 million as the prior year included the sale of approximately 1,200 railcars and 40 locomotives. Other income increased $9.9 million, primarily due to higher scrapping gains in North America and a lease termination fee received in 2008. Compared to the prior year, over 400 more cars have been scrapped at record scrap steel prices, resulting in a $4.3 million increase in North American scrapping gains. Affiliate earnings decreased primarily as a result of a $3.8 million derivative valuation loss at AAE.
Ownership Costs
     Ownership costs increased $2.5 million, primarily due to depreciation associated with investment volume of $430.8 million over the last 12 months partially offset by a decrease in interest costs due to lower rates.
Operating Costs
     Maintenance expenses increased $9.4 million, primarily the result of higher car repair volumes, increased repairs performed by railroads and the effects of foreign exchange rates. In North America, maintenance costs were higher largely due to increased assignments, more cars undergoing scheduled regulatory maintenance, increased wheelset replacements performed by railroads and the effect of Canadian foreign exchange rates. In Europe, strengthening foreign currencies and increased railcars undergoing scheduled regulatory maintenance contributed to the increase. Other operating costs decreased $2.6 million, primarily due to the impact of non-functional currency asset and liability revaluations.
Railcar Regulatory Issues
     On April 1, 2008, the Federal Railroad Administration (“FRA”) issued a rulemaking proposal that would establish enhanced performance standards for pressurized tank cars that transport toxic-by-inhalation hazardous materials. Specifically, the proposed rules would enhance the performance standards for head and shell puncture resistance in the event of a rail accident. These standards would be phased in over a period of eight years following adoption of final rules. The proposed rules, which may be further revised, were subject to a public comment period, which expired on June 2, 2008. The FRA is reviewing the comments received and has stated that it intends to adopt final rules before the end of the year. GATX is actively working with trade associations and others to participate in the rulemaking process and evaluate the proposed rules. Because the proposed rules are not yet final, at this time GATX cannot reasonably predict the impact, if any, that final rules may have on GATX’s tank car fleet.

Specialty
Segment Summary
     Specialty’s total asset base, including off balance sheet assets, was $565.5 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $521.4 million at December 31, 2007, and $489.3 million at June 30, 2007. During the quarter, Specialty invested $62.9 million, primarily consisting of an investment in a gas compression equipment leasing company and an additional investment in the Rolls Royce joint venture. High asset prices and capital market volatility continue to create investment uncertainty for Specialty’s industrial equipment customers. This challenging investment environment may continue for the remainder of 2008.

Comparison of the First Six Months of 2008 to the First Six Months of 2007
Segment Profit
     Specialty’s segment profit for the first six months of 2008 was $9.5 million higher than the prior year, primarily due to current year asset remarketing income and the income contribution from investments made during 2007. The increase was partially offset by fair value adjustments of warrants and higher marine vessel operating expenses.
Gross Income
     Gross income was $13.9 million higher than the prior year. Lease income increased $3.5 million, primarily due to income from investments in operating lease assets made in 2007. Asset remarketing income increased $8.7 million, primarily due to higher gains on the sale of assets in the current year; residual sharing fees were comparable between the two years. Affiliate

Table of Contents

earnings increased $2.5 million, primarily due to strong marine joint venture earnings, partially offset by the absence of earnings from a joint venture that was liquidated in the prior year.
Ownership Costs
     Ownership costs increased $1.9 million, primarily due to depreciation expense on new operating lease assets acquired in 2007, partially offset by the absence of expense on assets that were previously leased-in.
Operating Costs
     The increase in operating costs was primarily the result of an unfavorable difference in the fair value adjustment of derivatives and higher pooled marine vessel operating expenses.
Comparison of Second Quarter 2008 to Second Quarter 2007
Segment Profit
     Specialty’s segment profit for the second quarter of 2008 increased $4.1 million, primarily due to higher marine joint venture earnings.
Gross Income
     Gross income was $4.1 million higher than the prior year. Lease income increased $1.3 million, primarily due to income from investments in operating lease assets made in 2007, partially offset by the absence of lease income due to sales of assets in the prior year. Affiliate earnings increased $4.2 million, primarily due to strong marine joint venture earnings.

     Ownership costs increased $0.6 million, primarily due to depreciation expense on new operating lease assets acquired in 2007, partially offset by the absence of expense on assets that were previously leased-in.
Operating Costs
     The decrease in operating costs was primarily the result of a favorable difference in the fair value adjustment of derivatives, partially offset by higher pooled marine vessel operating expenses.
ASC
Segment Summary
          As of June 30, 2008, ASC’s fleet was fully utilized and the same is expected for the remainder of the year as demand for Great Lakes shipping is high. Additionally, water levels on the Great Lakes have risen during 2008, enabling ASC’s fleet to carry more cargo per trip, resulting in marginally higher revenues. Results for the quarter reflect the return to service of the M/V Walter J. McCarthy, Jr., which was damaged in January 2008.
          Negatively affecting operations for the quarter was a $2.9 million charge related to an adverse legal judgment in a dispute with a customer. ASC has provided notice for a cross claim to recover all or a portion of this judgment. Also during the quarter, diesel fuel costs continued to escalate, negatively affecting operating margins as a portion of these costs are not recovered.

Comparison of the First Six Months of 2008 to the First Six Months of 2007.
Segment Profit
     ASC’s segment profit of $5.9 million was $2.8 million lower than the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the unfavorable litigation outcome.
Gross Income
     Gross income for the first six months of 2008 increased $21.9 million from the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher fuel surcharges, which were more than offset in operating costs, higher freight rates and greater freight volume primarily related to carryover volume from 2007.
Ownership Costs
     Ownership costs for the first six months of 2008 were comparable to the prior year.
Operating Costs
     Operating costs increased $24.7 million, primarily due to increased fuel costs and the unfavorable litigation outcome.
Comparison of Second Quarter 2008 to Second Quarter 2007
Segment Profit
     ASC’s segment profit decreased $3.3 million in the quarter, primarily due to the unfavorable litigation outcome.
Gross Income
     Gross income for the second quarter of 2008 increased $15.4 million, primarily due to increased fuel surcharges, which were more than offset in operating costs.

Ownership Costs
     Ownership costs for the quarter were comparable to the prior year.
Operating Costs
     Operating costs increased $18.6 million, primarily due to increased fuel costs and the unfavorable litigation outcome.
Other
     Other is comprised of unallocated interest expense, selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and miscellaneous income and expense not directly associated with the reporting segments and eliminations.
     Components of Other are outlined below (in millions):

Income taxes
    20.7       24.3       35.9       46.2  
SG&A, Unallocated Interest and Other
     SG&A expenses increased $3.3 million for the quarter and $3.8 million for the year, primarily due to the write-off of $2.2 million of previously capitalized costs related to an internal software development project and the effects of strengthening foreign exchange rates.
     Unallocated interest expense is the balance (excess or shortfall) of external interest expense remaining after allocation to the reporting segments. The unallocated amount is a function of the difference between GATX’s average actual debt balances and the average amount of debt allocated to the reporting segments based on assigned leverage targets. Unallocated interest expense in the current year was impacted by higher debt balances driven by robust investment activity over the past year combined with significant repurchases of common stock. The credit for unallocated interest expense in the prior year was impacted by lower debt balances and interest income on significant cash balances related to proceeds received from the sale of Air, which was retained in Other.
Income Taxes
     GATX’s effective tax rate for continuing operations was 28% for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to 36% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. In 2008, the statute of limitations on a state income tax position taken in a prior period expired, resulting in the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits of $6.8 million. Additionally, in the current year, lower statutory rates in a number of foreign jurisdictions have benefited GATX’s overall effective tax rate. Excluding these tax benefits, GATX’s effective tax rate for the first six months of 2008 was 34%.
Discontinued Operations
     Discontinued operations consist of the Company’s former Air (“Air”) segment. On January 17, 2007, GATX completed the sale of the remainder of Air for gross proceeds of $227.1 million. Results of discontinued operations reflect directly attributable revenues, ownership, operating and SG&A expenses and income taxes.

Cash Flow and Liquidity
     Over the course of a full year, GATX expects to generate significant cash flow from a combination of operating activities and investment portfolio proceeds. This cash flow 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 will vary quarter to quarter. The following discussion of cash flow activity is presented excluding the impact of discontinued operations.
     Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the first six months of 2008 was $100.2 million, a decrease of $58.3 million from the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to changes in working capital.
     Portfolio investments and capital additions for the first six months of 2008 totaled $216.6 million, a decrease of $16.3 million from the prior year. Rail investments of $128.0 million were $56.8 million lower than the prior year, while Specialty investments of $69.6 million were $23.8 million higher. The timing of investments is dependent on transaction opportunities and market conditions.
     Portfolio proceeds of $85.0 million for the first six months of 2008 decreased $51.5 million from the prior year. Portfolio proceeds were higher in 2007 primarily due to proceeds received from sale of securities. Proceeds from sales of other assets increased $7.9 million primarily due to higher North American scrapping activity.
     GATX also expects to meet debt, lease and dividend obligations, as well as fund capital spending, through commercial paper issuances, committed revolving credit facilities and the issuance of secured and unsecured debt. GATX utilizes both domestic and international banks and capital markets.
     Debt proceeds for the first six months of 2008 were $339.8, consisting of issuances of $200.0 million and $150.0 million of recourse term debt, net of issuance costs and hedges. The proceeds were primarily used to retire $242.8 million of commercial paper and repurchase 2.1 million shares of GATX common stock for $76.5 million.
     In the first six months of 2008, holders of GATX’s 5.0% senior unsecured notes converted $64.7 million of notes, of which $0.7 million was settled with cash and $64.0 million was settled with shares. A total of 2.6 million common shares were issued as a result.
     Net cash provided by discontinued operations of $191.0 million in 2007 consisted primarily of proceeds received upon completion of the Air sale.
     GATX has a $550.0 million senior unsecured revolving bank facility, which matures in May 2012. At June 30, 2008, availability under the bank facility was $533.7 million, with $16.3 million of letters of credit issued and backed by the facility.
     The revolving bank facility contains various restrictive covenants, including requirements to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio and an asset coverage test. The indentures for GATX’s public debt also contain restrictive covenants, including limitations on loans, advances or investments in related parties and dividends GATX may distribute. Some of the indentures also contain limitation on lien provisions that restrict 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 subsidiaries also contain restrictive covenants, including leverage

22


Table of Contents

and cash flow covenants specific to those subsidiaries, restrictions on making loans and limitations on the ability of those subsidiaries to repay loans to certain related parties (including GATX) and to pay dividends 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. At June 30, 2008, GATX was in compliance with all covenants and conditions of the bank facility, public debt indentures and European subsidiary loan agreements.
     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, 2008, GATX’s long-term unsecured debt was rated BBB+ by S&P and Baa1 by Moody’s. GATX’s short-term unsecured debt was rated A-2 by S&P and P-2 by Moody’s. GATX’s rating outlook from both agencies was stable.
     At June 30, 2008, GATX’s unconditional purchase obligations of $628.3 million were primarily for railcars to be acquired and were comprised as follows (in millions):
                                                         
    Payments Due by Period  
    Total     2008     2009     2010     2011     2012     Thereafter  
Rail
  $ 569.1     $ 185.2     $ 298.7     $ 83.6     $ 0.8     $ 0.8     $  
Specialty
    59.2       59.2

     As of June 30, 2008, $42.1 million of 5.0% senior notes (the “2003 Notes”) were outstanding and convertible into GATX common stock at a conversion price of $24.81 per share. In August 2008, holders of the 2003 Notes have the right to require all or a portion of the notes to be purchased for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2003 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. Beginning in August 2008, GATX has the right to redeem the 2003 Notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. If GATX provides notice of redemption, the holders of the 2003 Notes may elect to exercise their conversion privilege. Upon conversion, GATX may elect, at its option, to deliver cash, shares of GATX common stock or any combination thereof. Additionally, the 2003 Notes carry a contingent interest provision that beginning on August 15, 2008, if the average trading price of the 2003 Notes equals 120% or more of the principal amount of the 2003 Notes, GATX may be required to pay additional interest for any six month period equal to 0.25% of the trading price of $1,000 principal amount of the 2003 Notes. GATX may avoid paying this contingent interest by calling the 2003 Notes prior to the record date for the contingent interest period.
     On January 23, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $200 million common stock repurchase program. As of June 30, 2008, 2.1 million shares have been repurchased for $76.5 million, all of which occurred in the first quarter. No repurchases were made in the second quarter as the Company has opted to retain this capital to support investment opportunities that may become available. The repurchased shares were recorded as treasury stock under the cost method.

Critical Accounting Policies
     There have been no changes to GATX’s critical accounting policies during the six months ending June 30, 2008; refer to GATX’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, for a summary of GATX’s policies.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
     This report includes certain financial performance measures computed using non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) components as defined by the SEC. These measures are return on equity excluding tax benefits, income from continuing operations excluding tax benefits and diluted earnings per share excluding tax benefits. As required under SEC rules, GATX has provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP components to the most directly comparable GAAP components. Financial performance measures disclosed in this report are meant to provide additional information and insight into the historical operating results and financial position of the business. Management uses these performance measures to assist in analyzing GATX’s underlying financial performance from period to period and to establish criteria for 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.
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.
 
    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 excluding assets of discontinued operations.
 
    Return on Equity — Income from continuing operations divided by average total shareholders’ equity.
 
    Return on Equity Excluding Tax Benefits — Income from continuing operations excluding tax benefits divided by average total shareholders equity.
