Trinity Highlights (cont.) Strong North American Demand drivers: Improving North American economy Strong market demand in all lines of business Favorable legislation Productivity improvements Good weather conditions for construction North America railcar demand remained strong as the economy improved and customers continued to replace aging railcars. Trinity's lease fleet grew significantly during 2005, adding a record 5,256 new Trinity-produced railcars. In 2005 we experienced more construction friendly weather, which contributed to an overall increase of 16.8% in Construction Products Group revenue and an overall increase of 57.7% in profitability. Regional economic health remains strong with good visibility. Trinity's Inland Barge backlog increased from $99mm at the end of 2004 to $335mm at the end of 2005. Trinity is fully booked for 2006 and is taking orders for 2007 production slots. The Energy Equipment Group grew significantly during 2005.
