NEWS RELEASE

FOR RELEASE: IMMEDIATE

GATX CORPORATION REPORTS 2012 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

CHICAGO, IL, July 19, 2012—GATX Corporation (NYSE:GMT) today reported 2012 second quarter net income of $23.5 million or $.49 per diluted share, compared to net income of $26.4 million or $.56 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011. The 2012 and 2011 second quarter results include the aggregate impact from Tax Adjustments and Other Items of negative $15.3 million or $.31 per diluted share and positive $6.2 million or $.13 per diluted share, respectively.

Net income for the first six months of 2012 was $53.8 million or $1.13 per diluted share, compared to $46.3 million or $.98 per diluted share in the prior year period. The 2012 and 2011 year-to-date results include the impact from Tax Adjustments and Other Items of negative $17.5 million or $.36 per diluted share and positive $12.6 million or $.27 per diluted share, respectively. Details related to the Tax Adjustments and Other Items are provided in the attached Supplemental Information.

Brian A. Kenney, president and chief executive officer of GATX, said, “We are seeing continued strong demand for most railcar types in our fleet. During the second quarter, GATX’s Lease Price Index (“LPI”) was a positive 23.9% and the average renewal term for cars in the LPI was 59 months. These results were achieved while maintaining over 98% utilization of the North American railcar fleet.

“There is also healthy demand for new railcars delivering under our five-year supply agreement. Railcars scheduled to deliver through the end of 2013 have already been allocated to customers on long-term leases at very attractive rates.”

Mr. Kenney continued, “In Europe, we are placing new tank car deliveries at favorable rates and demand for existing tank cars remains solid. Also, during the quarter we announced our entry into the Indian railcar leasing market with the purchase of railcars that will begin to deliver in August.

“The sailing season is off to a good start for American Steamship Company (“ASC”). Customer demand was strong throughout the quarter, particularly for iron ore shipments. In the Portfolio Management segment, Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance (“RRPF”) performed well and charter rates improved for the ocean-going marine joint ventures carrying ethylene.”

Mr. Kenney concluded, “Based on year-to-date performance and continued strength in rail, we are increasing our 2012 full-year earnings expectations to a range $2.65-$2.75 per diluted share. This guidance excludes any impact related to Tax Adjustments and Other Items.”

RAIL

Rail segment profit was $49.6 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $56.7 million in the second quarter of 2011. The 2012 and 2011 second quarter results include the pre-tax impact from Other Items of negative $16.3 million and positive $6.9 million, respectively.

Rail reported segment profit of $108.2 million year-to-date 2012, compared to $108.3 million in the same period of 2011. The 2012 and 2011 year-to-date results include the pre-tax impact from Other Items of negative $18.8 million and positive $14.1 million, respectively. Excluding the impact from Other Items, segment profit improved compared to prior year periods primarily due to higher lease rates in North America, increased asset remarketing activity and lower maintenance expense due to the high renewal success rate.

At June 30, 2012, Rail’s wholly-owned North American fleet totaled approximately 109,000 cars, and fleet utilization was 98.3% compared to 98.5% at the end of the first quarter and 98.2% at June 30, 2011. GATX’s LPI was a positive 23.9% in the second quarter, compared to a positive 19.2% in the first quarter and a positive 4.4% in the 2011 second quarter. The average lease renewal term for cars in the LPI during the second quarter was 59 months, up from 55 months in the first quarter and 41 months in the second quarter of 2011.

The European wholly-owned tank car fleet totaled approximately 21,000 cars and utilization was 96.3% compared to 96.7% at the end of the first quarter and 95.7% at June 30, 2011.

Additional current and historical fleet and operating data as well as macroeconomic data related to Rail’s business can be found on the last page of this press release.

AMERICAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY

American Steamship Company (“ASC”) reported segment profit of $14.0 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $8.6 million in the second quarter 2011. Segment profit year-to-date 2012 was $16.1 million, compared to $9.4 million year-to-date 2011. ASC carried 10.5 million net tons through the second quarter of 2012 compared to 9.0 million net tons in the prior year period. The increased tonnage and improved rates drove the improvement in segment profit.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Portfolio Management reported segment profit of $14.6 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $8.8 million in the prior year period. The improvement in segment profit was primarily attributable to higher affiliate earnings, which included asset remarketing at Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance (“RRPF”) and improved results from the ocean-going marine joint ventures operating in the ethylene market. During the second quarter, GATX and the Clipper Group sold the two remaining handy-size bulk carriers from the Clipper Third joint venture.

Year to date, Portfolio Management reported segment profit of $36.6 million compared to $19.5 million in the same period of 2011. Increased asset remarketing activity and the improved affiliate earnings described above are the primary drivers of the increase in segment profit compared to the prior year period.

The Portfolio Management segment currently consists of approximately $804.7 million of owned assets and third-party managed portfolios totaling approximately $149.0 million.

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

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