•
Rail Group backlog of $2.7 billion as of March 31, 2017, representing 26,420 railcars, compared to a backlog of $3.0 billion as of December 31, 2016, representing 29,220 railcars
•

•
Anticipates full year 2017 earnings per common diluted share of between $1.00 and $1.25 compared to its previous full year 2017 earnings guidance of between $1.00 and $1.35
Consolidated Results
Trinity Industries, Inc. reported net income attributable to Trinity stockholders of $46.0 million, or $0.30 per common diluted share, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017. Net income for the same quarter of 2016 was $97.2 million, or $0.64 per common diluted share. Revenues for the first quarter of 2017 totaled $877.3 million compared to revenues of $1.2 billion for the same quarter of 2016. First quarter 2017 results benefitted from a lower effective tax rate of 28.7% compared to 36.0% in the same quarter of 2016 due to the settlement of certain tax audits. For the full year 2017, the Company continues to expect a 36.0% effective tax rate.
“The performance of our businesses during the first quarter of 2017 was in line with our expectations,” said Timothy R. Wallace, Trinity’s Chairman, CEO and President. “The results of our Rail and Inland Barge Groups reflect substantial declines in production volumes compared to last year as our railcar and barge manufacturing businesses continue to face challenging market conditions. During the first quarter, our leasing company generated strong operating earnings, increasing operating profit by 14.6% compared to last year.”
Mr. Wallace added, “We continue to observe a unique mixture of uncertainty and optimism in the majority of the markets we serve. The flexible nature of Trinity’s business model positions our company to respond when market conditions shift.”
Business Group Results
In the first quarter of 2017, the Rail Group reported revenues of $478.3 million compared to revenues of $846.9 million in the first quarter of 2016. Operating profit and profit margin for the Rail Group were $50.7 million and 10.6% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $157.2 million and 18.6% in the first quarter of 2016. The decreases in revenues and operating profit were primarily due to significantly lower railcar deliveries. The Rail Group delivered 3,770 railcars and received orders for 970 railcars during the first quarter of 2017 compared to 7,145 and 1,620 railcars, respectively, in 2016. The Rail Group had a backlog of $2.7


billion as of March 31, 2017, representing 26,420 railcars, compared to a backlog of $3.0 billion as of December 31, 2016, representing 29,220 railcars.
The Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group reported total revenues of $178.9 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to total revenues of $178.5 million in the same quarter of 2016. Operating profit for this Group was $85.0 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to operating profit of $74.2 million in the first quarter of 2016, which included $4.4 million of profit from the sales of leased railcars. The increase in operating profit during the first quarter of 2017 was primarily due to net additions to the lease fleet and lower maintenance and compliance expenses, partially offset by the effect of lower average lease rates and a reduced volume of sales of leased railcars. Supplemental information for the Leasing Group is provided in the accompanying tables.
The Inland Barge Group reported revenues of $62.7 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to revenues of $110.8 million in the first quarter of 2016. Operating profit and profit margin for this Group were $6.4 million and 10.2% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $12.6 million and 11.4% in the first quarter of 2016. The decreases in revenues and operating profit compared to the same quarter last year were primarily due to lower barge deliveries and changes in product mix. The Inland Barge Group received orders of $52.6 million during the quarter and, as of March 31, 2017, had a backlog of $109.9 million compared to a backlog of $120.0 million as of December 31, 2016.
The Energy Equipment Group reported revenues of $255.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to revenues of $273.4 million in the same quarter of 2016. Operating profit and profit margin for this Group were $29.8 million and 11.7% compared to $37.4 million and 13.7% in the same quarter last year. The decreases in revenues and operating profit compared to the same quarter last year were primarily due to lower delivery volumes in most of the Group's product lines. The backlog for structural wind towers as of March 31, 2017 was $1.0 billion compared to a backlog of $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2016.
The Construction Products Group reported revenues of $123.1 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to revenues of $124.9 million in the first quarter of 2016. Operating profit for the first quarter of 2017 decreased to $15.6 million compared to $15.9 million in the same quarter last year while operating margin remained flat at 12.7%. Revenues and operating profit decreased slightly compared to the same quarter last year primarily as a result of lower volumes in our construction aggregates business partially offset by higher volumes in our highway products and other businesses.
Cash and Liquidity
At March 31, 2017, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities of $778.8 million. When combined with capacity under committed credit facilities, the Company had approximately $2.1 billion of available liquidity at the end of the first quarter.
Share Repurchase
There were no shares repurchased during the first quarter of 2017. The Company's current share repurchase authorization through December 31, 2017 remains at $215.4 million.
Earnings Guidance for 2017
For the full year of 2017, the Company anticipates earnings per common diluted share of between $1.00 and $1.25 compared to its previous guidance of between $1.00 and $1.35 per share.
In the first quarter, the Company was required to adopt a new accounting standard, Accounting Standard Update No. 2016-09 “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” which changed the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. As a result, on a go forward basis, the Company anticipates there will be greater volatility in the provision for income taxes, primarily in the second quarter each year when the Company's share-based payments typically vest, resulting from stock price fluctuations between the grant date and the vest date. Based

2

on yesterday's closing stock price, the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2017 is estimated to be approximately 41.0%. For the full year 2017, the Company continues to expect an effective tax rate of 36.0%.
Actual results in 2017 may differ from present expectations and could be impacted by a number of factors including, among others, the risk factors disclosed in "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Statements" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recent fiscal year.

Trinity is required to utilize the two-class method of accounting when calculating earnings per share as a result of unvested restricted shares that have non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are, therefore, considered to be a participating security. The unvested restricted shares are excluded from the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the purposes of determining earnings per share. The two-class method results in a lower earnings per share than is calculated from the face of the income statement. See Earnings Per Share Calculation table below.

* Not meaningful
(1) The Company recognizes sales of railcars from the lease fleet which have been owned by the lease fleet for one year or less as revenue. Sales of railcars from the lease fleet which have been owned by the lease fleet for more than one year are recognized as a net gain or loss from the disposal of a long-term asset.
(2)Depreciation, maintenance and compliance, and rent expense are components of operating profit. Amortization of deferred profit on railcars sold from the Rail Group to the Leasing Group is included in the operating profit of the Leasing Group resulting in the recognition of depreciation expense based on the Company's original manufacturing cost of the railcars. Interest expense is not a component of operating profit and includes the effect of hedges.

Trinity Industries, Inc.
Reconciliation of EBITDA
(in millions)
(unaudited)

“EBITDA” is defined as net income plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization including goodwill impairment charges. EBITDA is not a calculation based on generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are, however, derived from amounts included in the historical consolidated statements of operations data. In addition, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indicator of our operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of liquidity. We believe EBITDA assists investors in comparing a company’s performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation and amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. However, the EBITDA measure presented in this press release may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.
