(1) Net deferred profit on railcars sold to the Leasing Group consists of intersegment profit that is eliminated in consolidation. Net deferred profit and the related deferred tax impact are included as adjustments to the property, plant, and equipment, net and deferred income taxes line items, respectively, in the Eliminations – Lease Subsidiary column above to reflect the net book value of the railcars purchased by the Leasing Group from the Rail Products Group based on manufacturing cost.

(1) Operating profit includes: depreciation; fleet operating costs, which include maintenance, compliance, freight, and storage; rent and ad valorem taxes; 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.

(2) Includes $1.3 million selling profit associated with sales-type leases for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

(3) Depreciation expense includes $4.7 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to the disposal of certain railcar components associated with our sustainable railcar conversion program.
