Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The foregoing Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared from the books and records of Trinity Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Trinity,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or "us") including the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and partially-owned subsidiaries, TRIP Rail Holdings LLC (“TRIP Holdings”) and RIV 2013 Rail Holdings LLC ("RIV 2013"), in which we have a controlling interest. In our opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of September 30, 2021, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, have been made in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2021 presentation.

Due to seasonal and other factors, including the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) and the related governmental response, the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 may not be indicative of expected results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2021. These interim financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured based on the allocation of the transaction price in a contract to satisfied performance obligations. The transaction price does not include any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Payments for our products and services are generally due within normal commercial terms. The following is a description of principal activities from which we generate our revenue, separated by reportable segments. See Note 3 for a further discussion regarding our reportable segments.

Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group

In our Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group ("Leasing Group"), revenue from rentals and operating leases, including contracts that contain non-level fixed lease payments, is recognized monthly on a straight-line basis. Leases not classified as operating leases are generally considered sales-type leases as a result of an option to purchase.

We review our operating lease receivables for collectibility on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the lessee’s payment history, the financial condition of the lessee, and business and economic conditions in the industry in which the lessee operates. In the event that the collectibility of a receivable with respect to any lessee is no longer probable, we derecognize the revenue and related receivable and recognize future revenue only when the lessee makes a rental payment. Contingent rents are recognized when the contingency is resolved.

Selling profit or loss associated with sales-type leases is recognized upon lease commencement, and a net investment in the sales-type lease is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Interest income related to sales-type leases is recognized over the lease term using the effective interest method. We had no sales-type leases as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, we began presenting sales from our lease fleet in the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group on a net basis regardless of the age of railcar that is sold. Historically, in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers, we presented sales of railcars from the lease fleet on a gross basis in Revenues – Leasing and Cost of revenues – Leasing in our Consolidated Statements of Operations if the railcars had been owned for one year or less at the time of sale. Sales of railcars from the lease fleet owned for more than one year had historically been presented as a net gain or loss from the disposal of a long-term asset. We now report all sales of railcars from the lease fleet as a net gain or loss from the disposal of a long-term asset in accordance with ASC 610-20, Gains and losses from the derecognition of non-financial assets. These sales are presented in the Lease portfolio sales line in our Consolidated Statements of Operations; however, because this change in presentation was effected on a prospective basis beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, lease portfolio sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 only include sales of railcars from the lease fleet owned for more than one year. We have concluded that the new presentation is appropriate given the significant change in the strategic focus of the Company. The new presentation had no effect on the Company’s operating profit, net income, earnings per share, or Consolidated Balance Sheet.

We account for shipping and handling costs as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good; as such, these fees are recorded in revenue. The fees and costs of shipping and handling activities are accrued when the related performance obligation has been satisfied.

Rail Products Group

Our railcar manufacturing business recognizes revenue when the customer has submitted its certificate of acceptance and legal title of the railcar has passed to the customer. Certain contracts for the sales of railcars include price adjustments based on steel-price indices; this amount represents variable consideration for which we are unable to estimate the final consideration until the railcar is delivered.

Within our maintenance services business, revenue is recognized over time as repair and maintenance projects are completed, using an input approach based on the costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs of performing the project. We recorded contract assets of $5.8 million and $4.4 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, related to unbilled revenues recognized on repair and maintenance services that have been performed, but for which the entire project has not yet been completed, and the railcar has not yet been shipped to the customer. These contract assets are included within the Receivables, net of allowance line in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

All Other

Our highway products business recognizes revenue when shipment has occurred and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.

The remainder of the unsatisfied performance obligations for the Rail Products Group is expected to be delivered through 2025. Unsatisfied performance obligations for the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group are related to servicing, maintenance, and management agreements and are expected to be performed through 2029.

Lease Accounting

Lessee

We are the lessee of operating leases predominantly for railcars, as well as office buildings, manufacturing equipment, and office equipment. Our operating leases have remaining lease terms ranging from one year to sixteen years, some of which include options to extend for up to five years, and some of which include options to terminate within one year. As of September 30, 2021, we had no material finance leases in which we were the lessee. Certain of our operating leases include lease incentives, which reduce the right-of-use asset and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As applicable, the lease liability is also reduced by the amount of lease incentives that have not yet been reimbursed by the lessor.

Lessor

Our Leasing Group enters into railcar operating leases with third parties with terms generally ranging between one year and ten years. The majority of our fleet operates on leases that earn fixed monthly lease payments. Generally, lease payments are due at the beginning of the applicable month. A portion of our fleet operates on per diem leases that earn usage-based variable lease payments. Some of our leases include options to extend the leases for up to five years, and a small percentage of our leases include options to terminate within one year with certain notice requirements and early termination penalties. As of September 30, 2021, non-Leasing Group operating leases were not significant, and we had no sales-type leases and no direct finance leases.

Table of Contents

We manage risks associated with residual values of leased railcars by investing across a diverse portfolio of railcar types, staggering lease maturities within any given railcar type, avoiding concentration of railcar type and industry, and are active participants in secondary markets. Additionally, our lease agreements contain normal wear and tear return condition provisions and high mileage thresholds designed to protect the value of our residual assets. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

The following table summarizes the impact of our leases on our Consolidated Statements of Operations:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Financial Instruments

We consider all highly liquid debt instruments to be either cash and cash equivalents if purchased with a maturity of three months or less, or short-term marketable securities if purchased with a maturity of more than three months and less than one year.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments including restricted cash and receivables. We place our cash investments in bank deposits and investment grade, short-term debt instruments and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. The carrying values of cash, receivables, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are limited due to control procedures that monitor the credit worthiness of customers, the large number of customers in our customer base, and their dispersion across different end markets and geographic areas. Receivables are generally evaluated at a portfolio level based on these characteristics. As receivables are generally unsecured, we maintain an allowance for credit losses using a forward-looking approach based on historical losses and consideration of current and expected future economic conditions. Historically, we have observed that the likelihood of loss increases when receivables have aged beyond 180 days. When a receivable is deemed uncollectible, the write-off is recorded as a reduction to allowance for credit losses. The balance of the allowance for credit losses that are in the scope of ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses was $10.1 million and $9.3 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. This balance excludes the general reserve for operating lease receivables that is permitted under ASC 450, Contingencies.

Acquisitions

In January 2021, we completed the acquisition of a company that owns and operates proprietary railcar cleaning technology systems. This transaction was recorded as a business combination within the Rail Products Group, based on valuations of the acquired assets and liabilities at their acquisition date fair value using Level 3 inputs. The acquisition did not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. This transaction resulted in goodwill of $7.0 million. There was no acquisition activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Table of Contents

Goodwill

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of our goodwill totaled $215.8 million and $208.8 million, respectively, which is primarily attributable to the Rail Products Group.

Warranties

We provide various express, limited product warranties that generally range from one year to five years depending on the product. The warranty costs are estimated using a two-step approach. First, an engineering estimate is made for the cost of all claims that have been asserted by customers. Second, based on historical claims experience, a cost is accrued for all products still within a warranty period for which no claims have been filed. We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized related to products covered by warranties and assess the adequacy of the resulting reserves on a quarterly basis. The changes in the accruals for warranties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020

Note 2. Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Accounting

Derivative Instruments

We use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, both in anticipation of future debt issuances and to offset interest rate variability of certain floating rate debt issuances outstanding. We also may use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in natural gas and diesel fuel prices and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") as a separate component of stockholders' equity and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. We continuously monitor our derivative positions and the credit ratings of our counterparties and do not anticipate losses due to non-performance. See Note 7 for a description of our debt instruments.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined 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 that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to establish a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are listed below.

Level 1 – This level is defined as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Our cash equivalents and restricted cash are instruments of the U.S. Treasury or highly-rated money market mutual funds. The assets measured as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy are summarized below:


	Level 1
	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
	(in millions)
Assets:
Cash equivalents	$	8.4	$	24.2
Restricted cash	123.3		96.4
Total assets	$	131.7	$	120.6

Table of Contents

Level 2 – This level is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices 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. Interest rate hedges are valued at exit prices obtained from each counterparty. Foreign currency hedges are valued at exit prices obtained from each counterparty, which are based on currency spot and forward rates and forward points. The assets and liabilities measured as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy are summarized below:


	Level 2
	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
	(in millions)
Assets:
Foreign currency hedge (1)	$	—	$	4.8

Total assets	$	—	$	4.8

Liabilities:

Foreign currency hedge (2)	0.9		—
Total liabilities	$	29.8	$	45.2

(1) Included in other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2) Included in accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Level 3 – This level is defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we have no assets measured as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

See Note 10 for information regarding the non-recurring fair value measurement considerations during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 for the impairment charge related to our small cube covered hopper railcars. See Note 7 for the estimated fair values of our debt instruments. The fair values of all other financial instruments are estimated to approximate carrying value.

Note 3. Segment Information

We report our operating results in three principal business segments: (1) the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group, which owns and operates a fleet of railcars and provides third-party fleet leasing, management, and administrative services; (2) the Rail Products Group, which manufactures and sells railcars and related parts and components, and provides railcar maintenance and modification services; and (3) All Other, which includes our highway products business and legal, environmental, and maintenance costs associated with non-operating facilities.

Gains and losses from the sale of property, plant, and equipment are included in the operating profit of each respective segment. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") regularly reviews the operating results of our reportable segments in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Our CODM does not consider impairment of long-lived assets or restructuring activities when evaluating segment operating results; therefore, impairment of long-lived assets and restructuring activities are not allocated to segment profit or loss.

Sales and related net profits ("deferred profit") from the Rail Products Group to the Leasing Group are recorded in the Rail Products Group and eliminated in consolidation and are reflected in "Eliminations – Lease Subsidiary" in the tables below. Sales between these groups are recorded at prices comparable to those charged to external customers, taking into consideration quantity, features, and production demand. Amortization of deferred profit on railcars sold to the Leasing Group is included in the operating profit of the Leasing Group, resulting in the recognition of depreciation expense based on our original manufacturing cost of the railcars. Lease portfolio sales are included in the Leasing Group, with related gains and losses computed based on the net book value of the original manufacturing cost of the railcars.

Note 4. Partially-Owned Leasing Subsidiaries

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Trinity Industries Leasing Company ("TILC"), we formed two subsidiaries, TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013, for the purpose of providing railcar leasing services in North America for institutional investors. Each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 are direct, partially-owned subsidiaries of TILC in which we have a controlling interest. Each is governed by a seven-member board of representatives, two of whom are designated by TILC. TILC is the agent of each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 and, as such, has been delegated the authority, power, and discretion to take certain actions on behalf of the respective companies.

At September 30, 2021, the carrying value of our investment in TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 totaled $139.5 million. Our weighted average ownership interest in TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 is 38% while the remaining 62% weighted average interest is owned by third-party, investor-owned funds. The investment in our partially-owned leasing subsidiaries is eliminated in consolidation.

Each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 has wholly-owned subsidiaries that are the owners of railcars acquired from our Rail Products and Leasing Groups. TRIP Holdings has wholly-owned subsidiaries known as Triumph Rail LLC ("Triumph Rail"), formerly known as TRIP Master Funding LLC ("TRIP Master Funding”), and TRIP Railcar Co. LLC ("TRIP Railcar Co."). RIV 2013 has a wholly owned-subsidiary known as TRP 2021 LLC ("TRP-2021"), formerly known as Trinity Rail Leasing 2012 LLC (“TRL-2012”). TILC is the contractual servicer for Triumph Rail, TRIP Railcar Co., and TRP-2021, with the authority to manage and service each entity's owned railcars. Our controlling interest in each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 results from our combined role as both equity member and agent/servicer. The noncontrolling interest included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the non-Trinity equity interest in these partially-owned subsidiaries.

Trinity has no obligation to guarantee performance under any of our partially-owned subsidiaries' (or their respective subsidiaries') debt agreements, guarantee any railcar residual values, shield any parties from losses or guarantee minimum yields.

The assets of each of Triumph Rail, TRIP Railcar Co., and TRP-2021 may only be used to satisfy the particular subsidiary's liabilities, and the creditors of each of Triumph Rail, TRIP Railcar Co., and TRP-2021 have recourse only to the particular subsidiary's assets. Each of TILC and the third-party equity investors receive distributions from TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013, when available, in proportion to its respective equity interests, and has an interest in the net assets of the partially-owned subsidiaries upon a liquidation event in the same proportion. TILC is paid fees for the services it provides to Triumph Rail, TRIP Railcar Co., and TRP-2021 and has the potential to earn certain incentive fees. There are no remaining equity commitments with respect to TRIP Holdings or RIV 2013.

See Note 7 regarding TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013, including the redemption and refinancing of the debt of their respective subsidiaries.

Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate

In August 2021, the Company and Wafra, Inc. (“Wafra”), a global alternative investment manager, announced a new railcar investment vehicle (“RIV”) program between Trinity and certain funds managed by Wafra (“Wafra Funds”). As part of this program, a joint venture was formed, Signal Rail Holdings LLC (“Signal Rail”), which is owned 90% by Wafra Funds and 10% by TILC. Signal Rail or its subsidiaries are expected to invest in diversified portfolios of leased railcars originated by TILC targeting up to $1 billion in total acquisitions over an expected three-year investment period. TILC will service all railcars owned by Signal Rail.

In connection with the launch of the RIV program, in August 2021, TILC and certain of its subsidiaries sold an initial portfolio of 3,582 railcars and related leases to Signal Rail for an aggregate sales price of approximately $325.1 million. As a result of the sale, TILC received approximately $318.7 million in cash, of which $2.9 million was recognized as revenue for services performed associated with the delivery of railcars with attached leases. Additionally, in connection with the sale, TILC received a 10% equity interest in Signal Rail valued at $6.4 million, which was primarily received in exchange for its contribution of railcars to Signal Rail. TILC recognized a gain of approximately $32.9 million on the initial portfolio sale during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and will earn on-going fee revenue from servicing these railcars. Signal Rail financed this purchase primarily through an asset-backed securitization. In the event of future railcar portfolio sales, we expect that Signal Rail would issue additional debt, and Wafra Funds and TILC would make additional equity contributions to Signal Rail such that TILC would maintain its 10% equity interest.

Upon consideration under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model of ASC 810, Trinity has concluded that Signal Rail meets the definition of a VIE. TILC has variable interests in Signal Rail arising from its 10% equity ownership position and its role as a service provider. We have evaluated the potential for consolidation using the variable interest model and have determined that Trinity is not required to consolidate this entity as we do not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance. We will absorb portions of Signal Rail’s expected losses and/or receive portions of expected residual returns commensurate with our 10% equity interest in Signal Rail.

Our investment in Signal Rail is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

(1) Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, we made a prospective change in the presentation of sales of railcars from the lease fleet. Therefore, all railcar sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are presented as a net gain or loss from the disposal of a long-term asset regardless of the age of railcar that is sold. See Note 1 for more information.

(2) Operating profit includes: depreciation; maintenance and compliance; rent; and selling, engineering, and administrative expenses. Amortization of deferred profit on railcars sold from the Rail Products Group to the Leasing Group is included in the operating profit of the Leasing Group, resulting in the recognition of depreciation expense based on our original manufacturing cost of the railcars. Interest expense is not a component of operating profit and includes the effect of hedges.

(3) Depreciation expense increased $4.7 million and $7.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as a result of the disposal of certain railcar components associated with our sustainable railcar conversion program. Additionally, depreciation expense related to our small cube covered hopper railcars decreased by approximately $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 relative to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as a result of the impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2020 related to these railcars.

(4) Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes $11.7 million of loss on extinguishment of debt associated with the refinancing of our partially-owned subsidiaries' debt. See Note 7 for more information. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes $5.0 million of loss on extinguishment of debt associated with the early redemption of debt.

Estimated Fair Value of Debt – The estimated fair value of our 4.55% senior notes due 2024 ("Senior Notes") is based on a quoted market price in a market with little activity (Level 2 input). The estimated fair values of our secured railcar equipment notes are based on our estimate of their fair value using unobservable input values provided by a third party (Level 3 inputs). The respective carrying values of our revolving credit facility, 2017 promissory notes, TILC warehouse facility, and TRIP Railcar Co. term loan approximate fair value because the interest rate adjusts to the market interest rate. The estimated fair values of our long-term debt are as follows:


	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
	(in millions)
Level 1	$	1,612.2	$	1,372.1
Level 2	425.3		420.3
Level 3	3,295.6		3,462.4
	$	5,333.1	$	5,254.8

Revolving Credit Facility – We have a $450.0 million unsecured corporate revolving credit facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had total borrowings of $470.0 million and total repayments of $520.0 million under the revolving credit facility. Additionally, we had outstanding letters of credit issued in an aggregate amount of $28.3 million, leaving $421.7 million available for borrowing as of September 30, 2021. The outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2021 are scheduled to expire in July 2022. The revolving credit facility bears interest at a variable rate which resulted in an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%, with a LIBOR floor of 0.30%, as of September 30, 2021. A commitment fee accrues on the average daily unused portion of the revolving facility at the rate of 0.175% to 0.40% (0.25% as of September 30, 2021).

Table of Contents

The revolving credit facility requires the maintenance of ratios related to minimum interest coverage for the leasing and manufacturing operations and maximum leverage. In March 2021, we amended our revolving credit facility to increase the maximum leverage ratio through March 31, 2022 and to decrease the minimum interest coverage ratio through December 31, 2021 to provide additional near-term flexibility. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants.

TILC Warehouse Loan Facility – TILC has a $1.0 billion warehouse loan facility, which was established to finance railcars owned by TILC. In March 2021, the facility was extended through March 15, 2024, the total commitment was increased from $750 million to $1.0 billion, with a potential increase of up to an additional $250 million, subject to certain conditions, and provided for a facility margin of 185 basis points. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had total borrowings of $374.7 million and total repayments of $379.7 million under the TILC warehouse loan facility. Under the renewed facility, the entire unused facility amount of $485.6 million was available as of September 30, 2021 based on the amount of warehouse-eligible, unpledged equipment. Advances under the facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin, for an all-in interest rate of 1.94% at September 30, 2021.

TRL-2021 – In June 2021, Trinity Rail Leasing 2021 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("TRL-2021") and a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company owned through TILC, issued an aggregate principal amount of (i) $305.2 million of its Series 2021-1 Class A Green Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the "TRL-2021 Class A Notes") and (ii) $19.8 million of its Series 2021-1 Class B Green Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the "TRL-2021 Class B Notes") (the TRL-2021 Class A Notes and the TRL-2021 Class B Notes are, collectively, the “TRL-2021 Notes”). The TRL-2021 Class A Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.26%, and the TRL-2021 Class B Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.08%. The TRL-2021 Notes are payable monthly, and have a stated final maturity date of July 19, 2051. We incurred $3.3 million in debt issuance costs, which will be amortized to interest expense through the anticipated repayment date of the TRL-2021 Notes. The TRL-2021 Notes are obligations of TRL-2021 and are non-recourse to Trinity. The obligations are secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases thereon, certain cash reserves, and other assets acquired and owned by TRL-2021. Net proceeds received from the railcars acquired in connection with the issuance of the TRL-2021 Notes were used to repay approximately $214.4 million of borrowings under TILC's warehouse loan facility and for general corporate purposes.

June 2021 Refinancing of Partially-Owned Leasing Subsidiaries

Triumph Rail – In June 2021, Triumph Rail, formerly known as TRIP Master Funding, issued an aggregate principal amount of (i) $535.0 million of its Series 2021-2 Class A Green Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the “Triumph Class A Notes”) and (ii) $25.4 million of its Series 2021-2 Class B Green Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the “Triumph Class B Notes”) (the Triumph Class A Notes and the Triumph Class B Notes are, collectively, the “Triumph Notes”). The Triumph Class A Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.15%, and the Triumph Class B Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.08%. The Triumph Notes are payable monthly, and have a stated final maturity date of June 15, 2051. We incurred $5.6 million in debt issuance costs, which will be amortized to interest expense through the anticipated repayment date of the Triumph Notes. The Triumph Notes are non-recourse to Trinity, TILC, TRIP Holdings, and the other equity investors in TRIP Holdings, and are secured by Triumph Rail's portfolio of railcars and operating leases thereon, its cash reserves, and all other assets owned by Triumph Rail.

Triumph Rail used the net proceeds received from the issuance of the Triumph Notes, as well as proceeds from the sale of railcars and related operating leases to TRIP Railcar Co. described below, to redeem its outstanding debt, consisting of (i) the Series 2011 Class A-2 TRIP Master Funding Secured Railcar Equipment Notes due July 2041, (ii) the Series 2014-1 Class A-2 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes due April 2044, and (iii) the Series 2017-1 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes due August 2047, of which $869.1 million was outstanding at the redemption date. The all-in rate for these notes was 5.16% per annum at the time of redemption. In connection with the redemption, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $8.7 million, which included a $3.3 million early redemption premium and a write-off of $5.4 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. These charges are reflected in the loss on extinguishment of debt line of our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

TRIP Railcar Co. Term Loan – In June 2021, TRIP Railcar Co. drew down $329.6 million under a term loan agreement ("TRIP Railcar Co. term loan"). The TRIP Railcar Co. term loan was established to finance railcars and operating leases thereon purchased by TRIP Railcar Co. from Triumph Rail. The principal and interest of this indebtedness are paid from the cash flows of the underlying leases. The TRIP Railcar Co. term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.85%, for an all-in interest rate of 1.94% at September 30, 2021, and has a stated maturity date of June 2025. We incurred $2.9 million in debt issuance costs, which will be amortized to interest expense over the anticipated repayment term of the TRIP Railcar Co. term loan. The TRIP Railcar Co. term loan is non-recourse to Trinity, TILC, TRIP Holdings, and the other equity investors in TRIP Holdings; and are secured by TRIP Railcar Co.'s portfolio of railcars, operating leases thereon, and all other assets owned by TRIP Railcar Co. Net proceeds received from the transaction were used to purchase railcars and related operating leases from Triumph Rail.

TRP-2021 – In June 2021, TRP-2021, formerly known as TRL-2012, issued an aggregate principal amount of (i) $334.0 million of its Series 2021-1 Class A Green Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the “TRP-2021 Class A Notes”) and (ii) $21.0 million of its Series 2021-1 Class B Green Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the “TRP-2021 Class B Notes”) (the TRP-2021 Class A Notes and the TRP-2021 Class B Notes are, collectively, the “TRP-2021 Notes”). The TRP-2021 Class A Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.07%, and the TRP-2021 Class B Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.06%. The TRP-2021 Notes are payable monthly, and have a stated final maturity date of June 15, 2051. We incurred $3.7 million in debt issuance costs, which will be amortized to interest expense through the anticipated repayment date of the TRP-2021 Notes. The TRP-2021 Notes are non-recourse to Trinity, TILC, RIV 2013, and the other equity investors in RIV 2013, and are secured by TRP-2021's portfolio of railcars and operating leases thereon, its cash reserves, and all other assets owned by TRP-2021.

TRP-2021 used the net proceeds from the issuance of the TRP-2021 Notes to redeem its outstanding debt, consisting of (i) the Series 2012-1 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes due January 2043 and (ii) the Series 2013-1 Class A-1 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes due July 2043, of which $348.0 million was outstanding at the redemption date. The all-in rate for these notes was 3.59% per annum at the time of redemption. In connection with the redemption, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.0 million, which related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. This write-off is reflected in the loss on extinguishment of debt line of our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Each of our secured railcar equipment notes, including the TRL-2021 Notes, the Triumph Rail Notes, and the TRP-2021 Notes, generally has an anticipated repayment date and a stated final maturity date. While the stated final maturity date of these notes is in 2051, the cash flows from the assets of each of TRL-2021, Triumph Rail, and TRP-2021 will be applied, pursuant to the payment priorities of their respective indentures, so as to amortize their respective notes to achieve monthly targeted principal balances. If the cash flow assumptions used in determining the targeted balances are met, it is anticipated that the Notes will be repaid well in advance of their stated final maturity date. There can be no assurance, however, that such cash flow assumptions will be realized. If these notes are not repaid by the anticipated repayment date, the respective interest rates on these notes would increase from the fixed rates stated above.

Terms and conditions of our other long-term debt, including recourse and non-recourse provisions and scheduled maturities, are described in Note 8 of our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

Note 8. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was an expense of 23.9%, which differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes, foreign taxes, non-deductible executive compensation, and other permanent differences. The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was an expense of 27.8%, which differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to an adjustment to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") carryback benefit previously recognized and foreign taxes, partially offset by excess tax benefits associated with equity based compensation.

Our effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were a benefit of 34.9% and a benefit of 69.5%, respectively, primarily due to carryback claims as permitted under the CARES Act, partially offset by the portion of the non-cash impairment charge that is not tax-effected because it is related to the noncontrolling interest. Our effective tax rates, without the impact of the CARES Act, were an expense of 10.2% and a benefit of 15.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, which differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the impacts of state income taxes, foreign taxes, tax return true-ups, and non-deductible executive compensation.

Income tax refunds received, net of payments, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $246.9 million. The total income tax receivable position as of September 30, 2021 was $191.9 million, primarily related to carryback claims that have been filed.

Our 2016 and 2017 tax years are effectively settled. The statutes of limitations for auditing the 2013-2015 and 2018-2020 tax years will remain open due to tax loss carryback claims that have been filed. We have state tax returns that are under audit in the normal course of business, and our Mexican subsidiaries' tax return statutes of limitations remain open for auditing 2014 forward. We believe we are appropriately reserved for any potential matters.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, net periodic benefit cost relates to the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

Pension Plan Termination

In September 2019, our Board of Directors approved the termination of the Trinity Industries, Inc. Consolidated Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan"), effective December 31, 2019. The Pension Plan was settled in the fourth quarter of 2020, which resulted in the Company no longer having any remaining funded pension plan obligations. Upon settlement, we recognized a pre-tax non-cash pension settlement charge in the fourth quarter of 2020 of $151.5 million, which was inclusive of all unamortized losses previously recorded in AOCL.

Table of Contents

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as permitted by applicable regulations, we used $0.7 million and $10.9 million, respectively, of the Pension Plan surplus to fund obligations associated with the Company's profit sharing plans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we used $2.2 million to fund pension administrative expenses required to finalize the settlement of the Pension Plan. There were no pension administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The remaining surplus of the Pension Plan of $10.5 million will be used to fund final pension administrative expenses. We expect that any remaining surplus would be used for other corporate purposes, subject to applicable taxes.

Note 10. Asset Impairments and Restructuring Activities

Second quarter of 2020 impairment of small cube covered hopper railcars

During the second quarter of 2020, the oil and gas proppants (or “frac sand”) industry continued to experience economic pressure created by low oil prices, reduced fracking activity, and the ongoing economic impact of COVID-19. Significant price declines in the crude oil market, as well as lower demand for certain commodities, resulted in a decline in customer demand for certain types of railcars. As a result, certain of the Leasing Group's small cube covered hopper customers requested rent relief and, in a number of cases, filed for bankruptcy in the second quarter of 2020. Therefore, we determined that the events and circumstances that arose during the second quarter of 2020 constituted an impairment triggering event related to the small cube covered hopper car type in our lease fleet portfolio.

We performed a cash flow recoverability test of our small cube covered hopper railcars and compared the undiscounted cash flows to the carrying value of the assets. Significant management judgment was used to determine the key assumptions utilized in our impairment analysis, the substantial majority of which represent unobservable (Level 3) inputs. The aggregate impairment charge of $369.4 million is reflected in the impairment of long-lived assets line of our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 11 of our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding impairment of long-lived assets related to our small cube covered hopper railcars.

Restructuring activities

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, restructuring activities resulted in a net gain of $0.1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, restructuring activities resulted in a net gain of $1.1 million, primarily as a result of a $1.6 million gain on the disposition of certain non-operating facilities included in previous restructuring plans, partially offset by $0.5 million in employee severance costs.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded total restructuring charges of $4.7 million, consisting of $3.4 million for severance costs, $0.7 million in asset write-downs associated with transportation equipment in our logistics operations, and $0.6 million of contract termination costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded total restructuring charges of $10.5 million, consisting of $7.5 million for severance costs, $5.9 million of non-cash charges primarily from the write-down of our corporate headquarters campus and certain other assets, and $0.6 million in contract termination costs, partially offset by a $3.5 million net gain on the disposition of a non-operating facility and certain related assets.

The following table sets forth the restructuring activity and balance of the restructuring liability, which is included in other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Stockholders' Equity

Repurchase Agreement with ValueAct

On April 29, 2021, we entered into a stock repurchase agreement with ValueAct Capital Master Fund, L.P. (“ValueAct”), the Company's largest shareholder and a related party, to repurchase 8.1 million shares of our common stock for $27.47 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $222.5 million, in a privately negotiated transaction. The price per share represents a discount of 3.5% from the closing price for a share of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on April 29, 2021. The repurchase from ValueAct was approved by our Board of Directors separately from, and did not reduce the authorized amount remaining under, the previous share repurchase program described below.

New Share Repurchase Authorization

In September 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program effective September 9, 2021 through December 31, 2022. The new share repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $250.0 million of its common stock. There were no shares repurchased under this program during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Previous Share Repurchase Authorization

In October 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program effective October 23, 2020 through December 31, 2021. The share repurchase program authorized the Company to repurchase up to $250.0 million of its common stock and was completed in the third quarter of 2021. Share repurchase activity under this program is as follows:


	Shares Repurchased			Remaining Authorization to Repurchase
Period	Number of shares	Cost (in millions)		Cost (in millions)

Table of Contents

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, total share repurchases were 2.8 million and 14.6 million, respectively, at a cost of approximately $77.1 million and $404.7 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, share repurchases totaled 4.5 million and 6.3 million, respectively, at a cost of approximately $89.9 million and $125.3 million, respectively, under a previous share repurchase program, which was completed in the third quarter of 2020. Certain shares of stock repurchased during September 2020, totaling $4.9 million, were cash settled in October 2020 in accordance with normal settlement practices.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation totaled approximately $6.5 million and $16.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Stock-based compensation totaled approximately $4.8 million and $19.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company's annual grant of share-based awards generally occurs in the second quarter under our 2004 Fourth Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Plan”). Our stock options have contractual terms of ten years. Expense related to stock options issued to eligible employees under the Plan is recognized on a straight-line basis over their vesting period. Expense related to restricted stock units ("RSUs") issued to eligible employees under the Plan is recognized ratably over the vesting period, generally between three years and four years. Beginning in 2020, certain RSU grants provide for full vesting when the award recipients reach 60 years of age and have provided at least 10 years of service to the Company, provided that the awards remain outstanding for a period of six months from the date of grant. The expense for these awards is recognized over the applicable service period for each of the eligible award recipients. Expense related to RSUs and restricted stock awards ("RSAs") granted to non-employee directors under the Plan is recognized ratably over the vesting period, generally one year. Expense related to performance units is recognized ratably from their award date to the end of the performance period, generally three years.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2021:


	Number of Shares Granted	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Award

Restricted stock units	617,165	$	28.40
Restricted stock awards	22,734	$	28.48
Performance units	240,931	$	30.85

Note 13. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic net income (loss) attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Trinity remaining after allocation to unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be antidilutive, the calculation of diluted EPS includes the net impact of potentially dilutive common shares. The Company has certain unvested RSAs that participate in dividends on a nonforfeitable basis and are therefore considered to be participating securities. Consequently, diluted net income (loss) attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. per common share is calculated under both the two-class method and the treasury stock method, and the more dilutive of the two calculations is presented. There were no restricted shares and stock options included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as we incurred a loss for the period, and any effect on loss per common share would have been antidilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Note 14. Contingencies

Highway products litigation

We previously reported the filing of a False Claims Act (“FCA”) complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division (“District Court”) styled Joshua Harman, on behalf of the United States of America, Plaintiff/Relator v. Trinity Industries, Inc., Defendant, Case No. 2:12-cv-00089-JRG (E.D. Tex.). In this case, in which the U.S. Government declined to intervene, the relator, Mr. Joshua Harman, alleged the Company violated the FCA pertaining to sales of the Company's ET-Plus® System, a highway guardrail end-terminal system (“ET Plus”). On October 20, 2014, a trial in this case concluded with a jury verdict stating that the Company and its subsidiary, Trinity Highway Products, LLC (“Trinity Highway Products”), “knowingly made, used or caused to be made or used, a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim," and the District Court entered judgment on the verdict in the total amount of $682.4 million.

On September 29, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ("Fifth Circuit") reversed the District Court’s $682.4 million judgment and rendered judgment as a matter of law in favor of the Company and Trinity Highway Products. On January 7, 2019, the United States Supreme Court denied Mr. Harman's petition for certiorari seeking review of the Fifth Circuit's decision. The denial of Mr. Harman's petition ended this action.

State, county, and municipal actions

Mr. Harman also has separate state qui tam actions currently pending pursuant to: the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act (Commonwealth of Virginia ex rel. Joshua M. Harman v. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC, Case No. CL13-698, in the Circuit Court, Richmond, Virginia) and the Massachusetts False Claims Act (Commonwealth of Massachusetts ex rel. Joshua M. Harman Qui Tam v. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC, Case No. 1484-CV-02364, in the Superior Court Department of the Trial Court). In addition to these two currently pending state qui tam actions, Mr. Harman has also filed a second amended complaint in a previously dismissed action pursuant to the Tennessee False Claims Act (State of Tennessee ex rel. Joshua M. Harman v. Trinity Industries, Inc., and Trinity Highway Products, LLC, Case No. 14C2652, in the Circuit Court for Davidson County, Tennessee) and sought leave to file an amended complaint in a previously dismissed action pursuant to the New Jersey False Claims Act (State of New Jersey ex rel. Joshua M. Harman v. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC, Case No.L-1344-14, in the Superior Court of New Jersey Law Division: Mercer County). In each of these cases, Mr. Harman alleged the Company violated the respective states' false claims act pertaining to sales of the ET Plus, and he is seeking damages, civil penalties, attorneys’ fees, costs and interest. Also, the respective states’ Attorneys General filed Notices of Election to Decline Intervention in all of these matters, with the exception of the Commonwealth of Virginia Attorney General, who intervened in the Virginia matter. No trial date has been scheduled in these cases other than in the Massachusetts action, which has been scheduled for trial on June 7, 2022, and the Virginia action, which has been scheduled for trial on April 17, 2023.

The Company believes these state qui tam lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend all allegations. Other states could take similar or different actions, and could be considering similar state false claims or other litigation against the Company.

As previously reported, state qui tam actions filed by Mr. Harman in the states of Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, Rhode Island, Tennessee, New Jersey, and California were dismissed.

The Company has been served in a lawsuit filed November 5, 2015, titled Jackson County, Missouri, individually and on behalf of a class of others similarly situated vs. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC, Case No. 1516-CV23684 (Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri). The case is being brought by plaintiff for and on behalf of itself and all Missouri counties with a population of 10,000 or more persons, including the City of St. Louis, and the State of Missouri’s transportation authority. The plaintiff alleges that the Company and Trinity Highway Products did not disclose design changes to the ET Plus and these allegedly undisclosed design changes made the ET Plus allegedly defective, unsafe, and unreasonably dangerous. The plaintiff alleges product liability negligence, product liability strict liability, and negligently supplying dangerous instrumentality for supplier’s business purposes. The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages, interest, attorneys' fees and costs, and in the alternative plaintiff seeks a declaratory judgment that the ET Plus is defective, the Company’s conduct was unlawful, and class-wide costs and expenses associated with removing and replacing the ET Plus throughout Missouri. On December 6, 2017, the Court granted plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification, certifying a class of Missouri counties with populations of 10,000 or more persons, including the City of St. Louis and the State of Missouri's transportation authority that have or had ET Plus guardrail end terminals with 4-inch wide guide channels installed on roadways they own or maintain. A trial date has been scheduled in this case for April 4, 2022.

Table of Contents

The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend all allegations. While the financial impacts of these state, county, and municipal actions are currently unknown, they could be material.

Based on information currently available to the Company and previously disclosed, we currently do not believe that a loss is probable in any one or more of the actions described under "State, county, and municipal actions," therefore no accrual has been included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. Because of the complexity of these actions as well as the current status of certain of these actions, we are not able to estimate a range of possible losses with respect to any one or more of these actions.

Product liability cases

The Company is currently defending product liability lawsuits in several different states that are alleged to involve the ET Plus as well as other products manufactured by Trinity Highway Products. These cases are diverse in light of the randomness of collisions in general and the fact that each accident involving a roadside device, such as an end terminal, or any other fixed object along the highway, has its own unique facts and circumstances. The Company carries general liability insurance to mitigate the impact of adverse judgment exposures in these product liability cases. To the extent that the Company believes that a loss is probable with respect to these product liability cases, the accrual for such losses is included in the amounts described below under "Other matters".

Other matters

The Company is involved in claims and lawsuits incidental to our business arising from various matters, including product warranty, personal injury, environmental issues, workplace laws, and various governmental regulations. The Company evaluates its exposure to such claims and suits periodically and establishes accruals for these contingencies when a range of loss can be reasonably estimated. The range of reasonably possible losses for such matters is $11.2 million to $18.4 million, which includes our rights in indemnity and recourse to third parties of approximately $6.4 million, which is recorded in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021. This range includes any amounts related to the Highway Products litigation matters described above in the section titled “Highway products litigation." At September 30, 2021, total accruals of $11.7 million, including environmental and workplace matters described below, are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company believes any additional liability would not be material to its financial position or results of operations.

Trinity is subject to remedial orders and federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment and the workplace. The Company has reserved $1.4 million to cover our probable and estimable liabilities with respect to the investigations, assessments, and remedial responses to such matters, taking into account currently available information and our contractual rights to indemnification and recourse to third parties. However, estimates of liability arising from future proceedings, assessments, or remediation are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings involving the environment and the workplace or, if we are found to be responsible or liable in any such litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to the Company. We believe that we are currently in substantial compliance with environmental and workplace laws and regulations.

Georgia tornado

On March 26, 2021, a tornado damaged the Company’s rail maintenance facility in Cartersville, Georgia. We have incurred costs related to cleanup and damage remediation activities in order for the facility to resume operations in the second quarter. We believe our insurance coverage is sufficient to cover property damage costs related to the event. Accordingly, at March 31, 2021, we recorded an insurance receivable of approximately $1.2 million for property damage recoveries, which was collected in the third quarter of 2021. As of September 30, 2021, we have received total advanced payments from insurance of approximately $14.6 million, which includes $8.1 million for reimbursement of cleanup and damage remediation expenditures and the $1.2 million insurance receivable described above. We recorded a gain of $4.7 million for insurance recoveries received in excess of the net book value of assets destroyed, net of the applicable deductible, which is included in the gains on dispositions of other property line in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2021, we have utilized $2.6 million of the advanced payments from insurance towards new capital expenditures in support of the reconstruction efforts.

Any additional property damage insurance proceeds received in excess of the net book value of property lost and related cleanup costs will be accounted for as gains in future quarters. Additionally, the Company may be entitled to business interruption proceeds related to the event. We will not record these recoveries until final settlement has been reached with the insurance carriers.

Executive Summary

Recent Market Developments

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted global and North American economic conditions. The social and economic effects of the pandemic have been widespread and are ongoing. We continue to monitor the operational and financial impacts of the pandemic and other economic factors. Although we have not experienced significant interruptions to our daily operations or a material impact to our operating costs, the economic pressures created by the pandemic have negatively impacted our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. While we are beginning to see signs of economic recovery, we are monitoring the evolving impacts of COVID-19 variants on the economy, and expect that our results of operations may remain under pressure in the near term.

Please refer to the "Forward-Looking Statements" section above and Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the potential impacts of COVID-19 on our business.

Other Cyclical and Seasonal Trends Impacting Our Business

The industries in which we operate are cyclical in nature. Weaknesses in certain sectors of the North American and global economy may make it more difficult to sell or lease certain types of railcars. Additionally, changes in commodity prices, including fluctuations in the crude oil market, or changes in demand for certain commodities, could impact customer demand for various types of railcars. Further, disruptions in the global supply chain could impact demand for, or the cost to manufacture, certain of our products. We continuously assess demand for our products and services and take steps to rationalize and diversify our leased railcar portfolio and align our manufacturing capacity appropriately. We diligently evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers and monitor performance of relevant market sectors; however, additional weaknesses in any of these market sectors could affect the financial viability of our underlying Leasing Group customers, which could continue to negatively impact our recurring leasing revenues and operating profits.

Additionally, current economic conditions within the industries in which our customers operate have resulted in reduced demand for railcars. Although railcar loading volumes, levels of railcars in storage, and orders for new railcar equipment are beginning to improve, railcar lease rates and utilization remain under pressure. While we currently expect this trend to continue in the near term, we believe that our rail platform is designed to respond to cyclical changes in demand and perform throughout the railcar cycle.

Steel prices and labor costs have increased significantly since the fourth quarter of 2020 and are major components of our cost of revenues. We typically use contract-specific purchasing practices, existing supplier commitments, contractual price escalation provisions, and other arrangements with our customers to reduce the impact of plate and coil steel price volatility on our operating profit. However, higher steel prices could result in increases in the cost of certain railcar components and could also reduce demand for new railcars. Additionally, although we remain committed to attracting and retaining a highly skilled and diverse workforce, labor shortages and increases in labor costs have negatively impacted our operations. We will continue to monitor the impact of potential margin and operating profit headwinds resulting from these factors.

Due to their transactional nature, lease portfolio sales are the primary driver of fluctuations in results in the Leasing Group. Results in our All Other Group are affected by seasonal fluctuations, with the second and third quarters historically being the quarters with the highest revenues.

Discussion of Consolidated Results

Revenues – Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $503.5 million, representing an increase of $44.1 million, or 9.6%, over the prior year period primarily due to increased demand and higher pricing in our highway products business and higher external deliveries in the Rail Products Group.

Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $1,273.8 million, representing a decrease of $310.0 million, or 19.6%, over the prior year period primarily related to lower deliveries in the Rail Products Group and the change in the presentation of sales of railcars from the lease fleet. See Matters Affecting Comparability above and Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the change in presentation.

Table of Contents

Cost of revenues – Our cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $398.7 million, representing an increase of $64.2 million, or 19.2%, over the prior year period primarily due to higher costs associated with external deliveries and operating inefficiencies in our maintenance services business, such as labor shortages and turnover, in the Rail Products Group, and increased demand and higher input costs in our highway products business.

Our cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $953.9 million, representing a decrease of $259.2 million, or 21.4%, over the prior year period primarily due to lower deliveries in the Rail Products Group and the change in the presentation of sales of railcars from the lease fleet.

Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses – Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses increased by 6.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher employee-related costs, including increased incentive-based compensation. Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses decreased by 3.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to consulting costs incurred in the prior year period associated with aligning our operating structure to support our rail-focused strategy, partially offset by higher employee-related costs, including increased incentive-based compensation.

Gains on dispositions of property – Gains on dispositions of property increased by $37.7 million and $45.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, when compared to the prior year period primarily due to a higher volume of railcar sales from our lease portfolio and gains associated with the disposition of non-operating facilities.

Additionally, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a $4.7 million gain related to insurance recoveries in excess of net book value received during the third quarter of 2021 for assets damaged by a tornado at the Company’s rail maintenance facility in Cartersville, Georgia in the first quarter of 2021. See Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Impairment of long-lived assets – Impairment of long-lived assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $369.4 million related to our small cube covered hopper railcars. See Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. We had no impairment of long-lived assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Restructuring activities, net – Our restructuring activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 resulted in a net gain of $0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, primarily as a result of the disposition of certain non-operating facilities, partially offset by employee transition costs. Our restructuring activities for the three months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $4.7 million, primarily related to the alignment of our operating structure to support our rail-focused strategy. We had restructuring expenses of $10.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily as a result of employee transition costs, contract termination costs, and asset write-downs related to our corporate headquarters facility, partially offset by a net gain on the disposition of a non-operating facility and certain related assets.

Operating profit (loss) – Operating profit for the three months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $92.2 million, representing an increase of 26.5% from the prior year period primarily due to a higher volume of railcar sales from our lease portfolio, partially offset by higher costs associated with external deliveries in the Rail Products Group, and lower lease rates and higher depreciation expense in the Leasing Group.

Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $219.8 million, representing an increase of 236.2% from the prior year period. Operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included a $369.4 million impairment charge related to our small cube covered hopper railcars. Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was impacted by a higher volume of railcar sales from our lease portfolio and lower selling, engineering, and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower deliveries in the Rail Products Group, and lower lease rates and higher fleet operating costs in the Leasing Group.

For further information regarding the operating results of individual segments, see "Segment Discussion" below.

Interest expense, net – Interest expense, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $45.2 million and $147.5 million, respectively, compared to $51.7 million and $158.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The decreases in interest expense, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily driven by lower overall borrowing costs associated with the Company's debt facilities, partially offset by higher overall average debt.

Table of Contents

Loss on extinguishment of debt – Loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $11.7 million from the refinancing of our partially-owned subsidiaries' debt, which included the write-off of $8.4 million in unamortized debt issuance costs and a $3.3 million early redemption premium. Loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $5.0 million, which included a $4.7 million early redemption premium and the write-off of $0.3 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. There was no loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Income taxes – The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was an expense of 23.9%, which differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes, foreign taxes, non-deductible executive compensation, and other permanent differences. The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was an expense of 27.8%, which differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to an adjustment to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") carryback benefit previously recognized and foreign taxes, partially offset by excess tax benefits associated with equity based compensation.

Amortization of deferred profit on railcars sold from the Rail Products Group to the Leasing Group is included in the operating profits of the Leasing Group, resulting in the recognition of depreciation expense based on our original manufacturing cost of the railcars. Interest expense is not a component of operating profit and includes the effect of hedges.

(4) Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes $11.7 million of loss on extinguishment of debt associated with the refinancing of our partially-owned subsidiaries' debt. See Note 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes $5.0 million of loss on extinguishment of debt associated with the early redemption of debt.

Total revenues for the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group increased by 0.9% and decreased by 9.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the prior year period. Revenues related to sales of leased railcars owned one year or less decreased due to the change in the presentation of sales of railcars from the lease fleet. Leasing and management revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were impacted by growth in the lease fleet, slightly higher utilization, and increased servicer fees, partially offset by lower rental rates, which resulted in relatively flat revenues when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Operating profit increased by 21.9% and 1.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the prior year period primarily due to a higher volume of lease portfolio sales and slightly higher utilization, partially offset by lower lease rates, increased depreciation, and higher fleet operating costs.

The Leasing Group generally uses its non-recourse warehouse loan facility or cash to provide initial funding for a portion of the purchase price of the railcars. After initial funding, the Leasing Group may obtain long-term financing for the railcars in the lease fleet through non-recourse asset-backed securities; long-term non-recourse operating leases pursuant to sale-leaseback transactions; long-term recourse debt such as equipment trust certificates; long-term non-recourse promissory notes; or third-party equity.

Revenues and cost of revenues for the Rail Products Group decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2021 by 10.8% and 8.0%, respectively, when compared to the prior year period. These decreases primarily resulted from lower deliveries and a shift in the mix of railcar products and services sold. Cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was negatively impacted by higher input costs and supply chain disruptions, as well as operating inefficiencies, such as labor shortages and turnover, in our maintenance services business.

Revenues and cost of revenues for the Rail Products Group decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 by 33.4% and 30.8%, respectively, when compared to the prior year period. These decreases primarily resulted from lower deliveries and a shift in the mix of railcar products and services sold. Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was negatively impacted by higher input costs and supply chain disruptions, as well as operating inefficiencies, such as labor shortages and turnover, in our maintenance services business, partially offset by operational cost savings related to railcar production.

Operating profit was favorably impacted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 by gains on dispositions of property, which primarily represent insurance recoveries in excess of net book value received during the third quarter of 2021 for assets damaged by a tornado at our rail maintenance facility in Cartersville, Georgia in the first quarter of 2021.

Total backlog dollars increased by 6.3% when compared to the prior year period primarily from an increase in orders received, partially offset by a 6.5% lower average selling price as a result of changes in the mix of railcars in the backlog. Approximately 31.8% of our railcar backlog value is expected to be delivered during 2021 with the remainder to be delivered thereafter into 2025. The orders in our backlog from the Leasing Group are fully supported by lease commitments with external customers. The final amount of backlog attributable to the Leasing Group may vary by the time of delivery as customers may choose to change their procurement decision.

Revenues and cost of revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the prior year period primarily from increased demand and higher pricing in our highway products business. Operating profit was favorably impacted in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 by gains associated with the disposition of non-operating facilities. As we continue to streamline our operational footprint, we may have additional gains or losses on the disposition of other non-operating facilities.

Additionally, operating costs for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were impacted by higher litigation-related expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We expect to finance future operating requirements with cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities; cash flows from operations; and short-term debt, long-term debt, and equity. Debt instruments that we have utilized include the TILC warehouse facility, senior notes, convertible subordinated notes, asset-backed securities, non-recourse promissory notes, sale-leaseback transactions, and our revolving credit facility.

As of September 30, 2021, we have total committed liquidity of $1.1 billion. Our total available liquidity includes: $221.8 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents; $421.7 million unused and available under our revolving credit facility; and $485.6 million unused and available under the TILC warehouse facility based on the amount of warehouse-eligible, unpledged equipment. We believe we have access to adequate capital resources to fund operating requirements and are an active participant in the capital markets.

Liquidity Highlights

TILC warehouse facility – In March 2021, the TILC warehouse facility was extended through March 15, 2024, and the total facility commitment was increased from $750 million to $1.0 billion.

TRL-2021 – In June 2021, TRL-2021 issued $325.0 million of its Series 2021-1 Green Secured Railcar Equipment Notes. These notes bear interest at an all-in interest rate of 2.31% and have a final maturity date of 2051. Net proceeds received from the transaction were used to repay borrowings under TILC's secured warehouse credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

Dividend Payments – We paid $68.5 million in dividends to our common stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Repurchase Agreement with ValueAct – On April 29, 2021, we entered into a stock repurchase agreement with ValueAct, the Company's largest shareholder and a related party, to repurchase 8.1 million shares of our common stock for $27.47 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $222.5 million, in a privately negotiated transaction. The price per share represents a discount of 3.5% from the closing price for a share of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on April 29, 2021.

New Share Repurchase Authorization – In September 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program effective September 9, 2021 through December 31, 2022. The new share repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $250.0 million of its common stock. There were no shares repurchased under this program during the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Previous Share Repurchase Authorization – In October 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program effective October 23, 2020 through December 31, 2021. The share repurchase program authorized the Company to repurchase up to $250.0 million of its common stock and was completed in the third quarter of 2021. Share repurchase activity under this program is as follows:

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Net cash flows from discontinued operations	(0.8)		(0.2)
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	116.7	$	(55.7)

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $428.0 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations of $456.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The changes in our operating assets and liabilities are as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020
	(in millions)
(Increase) decrease in receivables, inventories, and other assets	$	(130.3)	$	242.4
(Increase) decrease in income tax receivable	249.8		(470.3)
Increase (decrease) in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other liabilities	70.3		(48.5)
Changes in operating assets and liabilities	$	189.8	$	(276.4)

The changes in our operating assets and liabilities resulted in a net source of $189.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to a net use of $276.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in the income tax receivable was primarily driven by the collection of approximately $248.3 million of income tax refunds in the current year period associated with the loss carryback provisions included in recent tax legislation. Additionally, operating assets were negatively impacted by cyclical shifts in anticipation of higher volumes of railcar deliveries in future periods. Further, in the prior year period, the changes in our operating assets and liabilities were impacted by a customer's election to exercise a purchase option on a sales-type lease.

Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $43.6 million compared to $361.0 million of net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Significant investing activities are as follows:

•We received proceeds from lease portfolio sales exceeding the investment in our lease fleet by approximately $40.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a net investment in the lease fleet of $310.1 million in the prior year period. Our investment in the lease fleet primarily includes new railcar additions and railcar modifications, net of deferred profit, and secondary market purchases.

•We acquired a company that owns and operates proprietary railcar cleaning technology systems during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 for net cash of $16.5 million. We had no acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

•We received $6.5 million in insurance proceeds during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 for property damage sustained at a rail maintenance facility. See Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. We received no insurance proceeds during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $354.1 million compared to $151.3 million of net cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2020. Significant financing activities are as follows:

•During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had total borrowings of $2,393.7 million and total repayments of $2,256.8 million, for net proceeds of $136.9 million, primarily from debt proceeds to support our investment in the lease fleet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had total borrowings of $835.8 million and total repayments of $795.5 million, for net proceeds of $40.3 million, primarily from debt proceeds to support our investment in the lease fleet, partially offset by the early redemption of debt.

•We paid $68.5 million and $67.8 million in dividends to our common stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

•We repurchased common stock totaling $406.5 million and $120.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The current year period includes shares repurchased in a privately negotiated transaction with ValueAct totaling $222.5 million. Certain shares of stock repurchased during September 2020, totaling $4.9 million, were cash settled in October 2020 in accordance with normal settlement practices.

Current Debt Obligations

The revolving credit facility contains several financial covenants that require the maintenance of ratios related to minimum interest coverage for the leasing and manufacturing operations and maximum leverage. In March 2021, we amended our revolving credit facility to increase the maximum leverage ratio through March 31, 2022 and to decrease the minimum interest coverage ratio through December 31, 2021 to provide additional near-term flexibility. A summary of our financial covenants is detailed below:

Capital Expenditures

For the full year 2021, we anticipate a net investment in our lease fleet of between $40 million and $70 million. Capital expenditures related to manufacturing and other activities, including expansion of our fleet maintenance capabilities and systems upgrades, are projected to range between $30 million and $40 million for the full year 2021.

Equity Investment

See Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our investment in partially-owned leasing subsidiaries.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2021, we had letters of credit issued under our Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount of $28.3 million, the full amount of which is expected to expire in July 2022. Our letters of credit obligations support our various insurance programs and generally renew by their terms each year. See Note 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about our corporate revolving credit facility.

Derivative Instruments

We may use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, both in anticipation of future debt issuances and to offset interest rate variability of certain floating rate debt issuances outstanding. We also may use derivative instruments from time to time to mitigate the impact of changes in natural gas and diesel fuel prices and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting standards. See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of how we utilize our derivative instruments.

LIBOR Transition

The United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), has announced that it will no longer persuade or require banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after June 2023. In the U.S., the Alternative Reference Rates Committee has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to LIBOR. We currently have LIBOR-based contracts that extend beyond June 2023 including derivative instruments, promissory notes for Trinity Rail Leasing 2017 LLC, TILC's warehouse loan facility, the TRIP Railcar Co. term loan, and our revolving credit facility. After LIBOR is phased out, the interest rates for these obligations might be subject to change. The replacement of LIBOR with an alternative benchmark reference rate may adversely affect interest rates and result in higher borrowing costs under these agreements and any future agreements.

Table of Contents

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included financial measures compiled in accordance with GAAP and certain non-GAAP measures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to provide management and investors with additional information regarding our financial results. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reporting results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. For each non-GAAP financial measure, we provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure.

Free Cash Flow

Total Free Cash Flow After Investments and Dividends ("Free Cash Flow") is a non-GAAP financial measure. The change in presentation of sales of railcars from the lease fleet, which was effected on a prospective basis beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, had no effect on the Company’s previously reported Free Cash Flow.

We believe Free Cash Flow is useful to both management and investors as it provides a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing our ability to fund our operations and repay our debt. Free Cash Flow is reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, in the following tables.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations as computed in accordance with GAAP, plus cash proceeds from lease portfolio sales, less capital expenditures for manufacturing, dividends paid, and Equity CapEx for new leased railcars. Equity CapEx for new leased railcars is defined as leasing capital expenditures, adjusted to exclude net proceeds from (repayments of) debt.
