PART I
 
Item 1.  Business.
 
General Development of Business.  Trinity Industries, Inc., (“Trinity”, “Company”, “we”, or “our”) with headquarters in Dallas, Texas, is a holding company of diversified industrial companies with market-leading positions that provides products and services for the transportation, industrial, construction, and energy sectors of the marketplace. Trinity was incorporated in 1933.
 
Trinity became a Delaware Corporation in 1987. Our principal executive offices are located at 2525 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75207-2401, our telephone number is 214-631-4420, and our Internet website address is www.trin.net.
 
Financial Information About Industry Segments.  Financial information about our industry segments for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 is presented in Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 16 through 30.
 
Narrative Description of Business.  We manufacture and sell railcars and railcar parts, inland barges, concrete and aggregates, highway products, beams and girders used in highway construction, tank containers, and structural wind towers. In addition, we lease railcars to our customers through a captive leasing business, Trinity Industries Leasing Company.
 
We serve our customers through five business groups:
 
Rail Group.  Through wholly owned subsidiaries, our Rail Group is the leading freight railcar manufacturer in North America (“Trinity Rail Group”). We provide a full complement of railcars used for transporting a wide variety of liquids, gases, and dry cargo.
 
Trinity Rail Group provides a complete array of railcar solutions for our customers. We manufacture a full line of railcars, including:
 
  •  Auto Carrier Cars — Auto carrier cars transport automobiles and sport utility vehicles.
 
  •  Box Cars — Box cars transport products such as food products, auto parts, wood products, and paper.
 
  •  Gondola Cars — Rotary gondola cars are primarily used for coal service. Top-loading gondola cars transport a variety of other heavy bulk commodities such as scrap metals and steel products.
 
  •  Hopper Cars — Covered hopper cars carry cargo such as grain, distillers dried grain, dry fertilizer, plastic pellets, and cement. Open-top hoppers are most often used to haul coal.
 
  •  Intermodal Cars — Intermodal cars transport intermodal containers and trailers, which are generally interchangeable among railcar, truck, and ship.
 
  •  Specialty Cars — Specialty cars are designed to address the special needs of a particular industry or customer, such as waste-hauling gondolas, side dump cars, and pressure differential cars used to haul fine grain food products such as sugar and flour.
 
  •  Tank Cars — Tank cars transport products such as liquefied petroleum products, alcohol and renewable fuels, liquid fertilizer, and food and grain products such as vegetable oil and corn syrup.
 
We produce the widest range of railcars in the industry which allows us to take advantage of changing industry trends and developing market opportunities. We also provide a variety of railcar components for the North American market from our plants in the United States and Mexico. We manufacture and sell railcar parts used in manufacturing and repairing railcars, such as auto carrier doors and accessories, discharge gates, yokes, couplers, axles, and hitches. We also have two repair and coating facilities located in Texas.
 
Our customers include railroads, leasing companies, and shippers of products, such as utilities, petrochemical companies, grain shippers, and major construction and industrial companies. We compete against five major railcar manufacturers in the North American market.

Table of Contents

 
For the year ended December 31, 2006, we shipped approximately 25,240 railcars in North America, or approximately 33% of total North American railcar shipments. Our North American railcar order backlog as of December 31, 2006 was approximately 35,930 railcars of which 51% was dedicated to our Rail Leasing and Management Services Group, although this may vary by the time of delivery. Our backlog represents approximately 41% of the total North American railcar backlog.
 
We hold patents of varying duration for use in our manufacture of railcar and component products. We believe patents offer a marketing advantage in certain circumstances. No material revenues are received from licensing of these patents.
 
Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group.  Through wholly owned subsidiaries, primarily Trinity Industries Leasing Company (“TILC”), we lease tank cars and freight cars. Our Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group (“Leasing Group”) is a premier provider of leasing and management services and is an important strategic resource that uniquely links our Rail Group with our customers. Trinity Rail Group and TILC coordinate sales and marketing activities under the registered trade name TrinityRail®, thereby providing a single point of contact for railroads and shippers seeking solutions to their rail equipment and service needs. The Leasing Group provides us with revenue, earnings, and cash flow diversification.
 
Our railcars are leased to railroads, shippers, and various other companies in the petroleum, chemical, agricultural, energy, and other industries that supply their own railcars to the railroads. Substantially all of our owned railcars are purchased from and manufactured by our Rail Group at prices comparable to the prices for railcars sold by our Rail Group to third parties. The terms of our railcar leases generally vary from one to twenty years and provide for fixed monthly rentals, with an additional mileage charge when usage exceeds a specified maximum. A small percentage of our fleet is leased on a per diem basis. As of December 31, 2006, our lease fleet included approximately 30,550 owned or leased railcars that were 99.5% utilized. Of this total, approximately 20,300 railcars are owned and approximately 10,250 railcars are leased.
 
In addition, we manage railcar fleets on behalf of unaffiliated third parties. We believe our railcar fleet management services complement our leasing business by generating stable fee income, strengthening customer relationships, and enhancing the view of Trinity as a leading provider of railcar products and services.
 
Our railcar leasing business is very competitive and there are a number of well-established entities that actively compete with us in the business of leasing railcars.
 
Construction Products Group.  Through wholly owned subsidiaries, our Construction Products Group produces concrete and aggregates and manufactures highway products, and beams and girders used in highway bridge construction. Many of these lines of business are seasonal and revenues are impacted by weather conditions.
 
We are a leader in the supply of ready mix concrete in certain areas of Texas. Our customers for concrete include contractors and subcontractors in the construction and foundation industry who are located near our plant locations. We also distribute construction aggregates, such as crushed stone, sand and gravel, asphalt rock, and recycled concrete in several larger Texas cities. Our customers for aggregates are mostly other concrete producers, paving contractors, and other consumers of aggregates. We compete with ready mix concrete producers and aggregate producers located in the regions where we operate.
 
In highway products, we are the only full line producer of guardrails, crash cushions, and other protective barriers that absorb and dissipate the force of impact in collisions between vehicles and fixed roadside objects. We believe we are the largest highway guardrail manufacturer in the United States, based on revenues, with a comprehensive nationwide guardrail supply network. The Federal Highway Administration determines which products are eligible for federal funds for highway projects and has approved most of our products as acceptable permanent and construction zone highway hardware according to requirements of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program.
 
Our crash cushions and other protective barriers include multiple proprietary products manufactured through various product license agreements with certain public and private research organizations and inventors. We hold patents and are a licensee for certain of our guardrail and end-treatment products that enhance our competitive position for these products.

Table of Contents

 
We sell highway products in all 50 of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. We also export our proprietary highway products to certain other countries. We compete against several national and regional guardrail manufacturers.
 
We manufacture structural steel beams and girders for the construction of new, restored, or replacement railroad bridges, county, municipal, and state highway bridges, and power generation plants. We sell bridge construction and support products primarily to owners, general contractors, and subcontractors on highway and railroad construction projects. We also manufacture the bodies of dump trucks. Our competitors primarily include fabricators with facilities located throughout the United States.
 
Inland Barge Group.  Through wholly owned subsidiaries, we are a leading manufacturer of inland barges in the United States and the largest manufacturer of fiberglass barge covers. We manufacture a variety of dry cargo barges, such as deck barges, and open or covered hopper barges that transport various commodities, such as grain, coal, and aggregates. We also manufacture tank barges used to transport liquid products. Our fiberglass reinforced lift covers are used primarily for grain barges while our rolling covers are used for other bulk commodities. Our four barge manufacturing facilities are located along the United States inland river systems allowing for rapid delivery to our customers.
 
Our primary Inland Barge customers are commercial marine transportation companies. Many companies have the capability to enter into, and from time to time do enter into, the inland barge manufacturing business. We strive to compete through efficiency in operations and quality of product.
 
Energy Equipment Group.  Through wholly owned subsidiaries, our Energy Equipment Group manufactures tank containers and tank heads for pressure vessels, propane tanks, and structural wind towers.
 
We are a leading manufacturer of tank containers and tank heads for pressure vessels. We manufacture tanks in the United States and Mexico. We market a portion of our products in Mexico under the brand name of TATSA®.
 
We manufacture propane tanks that are used by industrial plants, utilities, residences, and small businesses in suburban and rural areas. We also manufacture fertilizer containers for bulk storage, farm storage, and the application and distribution of anhydrous ammonia. Our propane tank products range from 9-gallon tanks for motor fuel use to 1,800,000-gallon bulk storage spheres. We sell our propane tanks to propane dealers and large industrial users. In the United States we generally deliver the containers to our customers who install and fill the containers. Our competitors include large and small manufacturers of tanks.
 
We manufacture tank heads, which are pressed metal components used in the manufacturing of many of our finished products. We manufacture the tank heads in various shapes, and we produce pressure rated or non-pressure rated tank heads, depending on their intended use. We use a significant portion of the tank heads we manufacture in the production of our tank cars and containers. We also sell our tank heads to a broad range of other manufacturers. There is strong competition in the tank heads business.
 
We are a leading manufacturer of structural wind towers in the United States. We manufacture structural wind towers for use in the wind energy market. These towers are manufactured in the United States and Mexico to customer specifications and installed by our customers. Our customers are original equipment manufacturers who assemble and install our towers with the remaining equipment to produce wind-generated electricity.
 
Our energy equipment business is very competitive and there are a number of well-established entities that actively compete with us in the business of manufacturing energy equipment.
 
All Other.  All Other includes our captive insurance and transportation companies, legal and environmental costs associated with non-operating facilities, other peripheral businesses, and the change in market valuation related to ineffective commodity hedges.
 
Foreign Operations.  Trinity’s foreign operations are primarily located in Mexico. Continuing operations included the sales to foreign customers, primarily in Mexico, and represented 2.5%, 2.2%, and 2.3% of our consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, we had approximately 5.1%, 5.7%, and 5.9% of our long-lived assets not held for sale located outside the United States.

Table of Contents

 
We manufacture railcars, propane tank containers, tank heads, structural wind towers, and other parts at our Mexico facilities for export to the United States and other countries. Any material change in the quotas, regulations, or duties on imports imposed by the United States government and its agencies or on exports imposed by the government of Mexico or its agencies could adversely affect our operations in Mexico. Our foreign activities are also subject to various other risks of doing business in foreign countries, including currency fluctuations, political changes, changes in laws and regulations, and economic instability. Although our operations have not been materially affected by any of such factors to date, any substantial disruption of business as it is currently conducted could adversely affect our operations at least in the short term.
 
Backlog.  As of December 31, 2006, our backlog for new railcars was approximately $2,870 million and was approximately $464 million for Inland Barge products. Included in the railcar backlog was approximately $1,501 million of railcars to be sold to our Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group. A majority of our backlog is expected to be delivered in the 12 months ending December 31, 2007. The Rail Group has a multi-year sales agreement with an independent company which has 760 new railcars remaining for 2007 and will not be included in the backlog until the type of car and price have been determined. In 2006, the Inland Barge Group entered into a multi-year sales agreement for dry cargo barges with deliveries beginning in 2007. Deliveries for 2007 are included in the backlog at this time; deliveries beyond 2007 are not included in the backlog as specific production quantities for future years have not been determined.
 
As of December 31, 2005, our backlog for new railcars was $1,353.1 million and $335.3 million for Inland Barge products. Included in the railcar backlog was $451.9 million of railcars to be sold to our Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group.
 
Marketing.  We sell substantially all of our products and services through our own sales personnel operating from offices in the following states and foreign countries: Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, Canada, Mexico, and Sweden. We also use independent sales representatives to a limited extent.
 
Raw Materials and Suppliers.
 
Railcar Specialty Components and Steel.  Products manufactured at our railcar manufacturing facilities require a significant supply of raw materials such as steel, as well as numerous specialty components such as brakes, wheels, axles, side frames, bolsters, and bearings. Specialty components purchased from third parties comprise approximately 50% of the production cost of each railcar. Although the number of alternative suppliers of specialty components has declined in recent years, at least two suppliers continue to produce most components. However, any unanticipated interruption in the supply chain of specialty components would have an impact on both our margins and production schedules. The current production level of railcar specialty components would not allow for significant expansion of railcar production.
 
The principal material used in our Rail, Inland Barge, and Energy Equipment Groups is steel. During 2006, the prices of steel we purchased increased at a much lower rate than was evident in 2005. The prices for other component parts we purchased in 2006 increased significantly and have been volatile on a month-to-month basis. We used escalation clauses and other arrangements to reduce the impact of these cost increases, thus reducing the effect on our operating margins for the year as compared to previous periods.
 
Availability of steel improved during 2006, while the availability of other components, especially railcar wheels, continues to be in tight supply. In general, we believe there is enough capacity in the supply industry to meet current production levels. We believe the existing contracts and other relationships we have in place will meet our current production forecasts. However, any unanticipated interruption in our supply chain would have an impact on both our margins and production schedules.
 
Aggregates.  Aggregates can be found throughout the United States, and many producers exist nationwide. However, as a general rule, shipments from an individual quarry are limited in geographic scope because the cost of transporting processed aggregates to customers is high in relation to the value of the product itself. We operate 14 mining facilities strategically located in Texas and Louisiana to fulfill some of our needs for aggregates.

Table of Contents

 
Cement.  The worldwide demand for cement has increased over the last several years. The supply of cement for the Concrete & Aggregates business is received primarily from Texas and overseas. The supply of cement was sufficient in our markets to meet demand. We have not experienced difficulties supplying concrete to our customers.

As of December 31, 2006, approximately 9,610 employees were employed in the United States.
 
Acquisitions and Divestitures.  In 2006 we made two acquisitions in the Construction Products Group with a combined purchase price of $3.5 million. In 2005, we did not make any acquisitions. In 2004, we had an acquisition in the Construction Products Group with a purchase price of $15.7 million. The acquired operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition.
 
In 2001, the Company acquired Thrall Car Manufacturing Company (“Thrall”) from an affiliate of Duchossois Industries, Inc. for $165.5 million in cash and 7.15 million in shares of common stock. In 2004, Duchossois Industries, Inc. sold 4.0 million shares of common stock. In 2006, the Company received and fulfilled a request from various entities affiliated with Duchossois Industries, Inc. to register 3.15 million shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of a demand registration right entered into in connection with such acquisition. The Company has no further obligation to register common stock under this agreement. Per the merger agreement, we agreed under certain circumstances to make additional payments to the former owners of Thrall, not to exceed $45 million through 2006, based on a formula related to annual railcar industry production levels. The final payment under this agreement has been made in the first quarter of 2007. Together with the 2007 payment, total payments under the merger agreement aggregated $45 million.
 
See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for information on divestitures.
 
Environmental Matters.  We are subject to comprehensive federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations relating to the release or discharge of materials into the environment, the management, use, processing, handling, storage, transport, or disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste and materials, or otherwise relating to the protection of human health and the environment. Such laws and regulations not only expose us to liability for our own acts, but also may expose us to liability for the acts of others or for our actions which were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time these actions were taken. In addition, such laws may require significant expenditures to achieve compliance, and are frequently modified or revised to impose new obligations. Civil and criminal fines and penalties may be imposed for non-compliance with these environmental laws and regulations. Our operations that involve hazardous materials also raise potential risks of liability under common law.
 
Environmental operating permits are, or may be, required for our operations under these laws and regulations. These operating permits are subject to modification, renewal, and revocation. We regularly monitor and review our operations, procedures, and policies for compliance with these laws and regulations. Despite these compliance efforts, risk of environmental liability is inherent in the operation of our businesses, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses. We believe that our operations and facilities owned, managed, or leased, are in substantial compliance with applicable laws and regulations and that any noncompliance is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our operations or financial condition.

Table of Contents

 
However, future events such as changes in or modified interpretations of existing laws and regulations or enforcement policies, or further investigation or evaluation of the potential health hazards associated with our products, business activities, or properties, may give rise to additional compliance and other costs that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.
 
In addition to environmental laws, the transportation of commodities by railcar or barge raises potential risks in the event of a derailment, spill, or other accident. Generally, liability under existing law in the United States for a derailment, spill, or other accident depends on the negligence of the party, such as the railroad, the shipper, or the manufacturer of the barge, railcar, or its components. However, under certain circumstances strict liability concepts may apply.
 
Governmental Regulation.
 
Railcar Industry.  The primary regulatory and industry authorities involved in the regulation of the railcar industry are the Environmental Protection Agency; the Research and Special Programs Administration, a division of the United States Department of Transportation; the Federal Railroad Administration, a division of the United States Department of Transportation; and the Association of American Railroads.
 
These organizations establish rules and regulations for the railcar industry, including construction specifications and standards for the design and manufacture of railcars and railcar parts; mechanical, maintenance, and related standards for railcars; safety of railroad equipment, tracks, and operations; and packaging and transportation of hazardous materials.
 
We believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with these regulations. We cannot predict whether any future changes in these rules and regulations could cause added compliance costs that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operations.
 
Inland Barge Industry.  The primary regulatory and industry authorities involved in the regulation of the inland barge industry are the United States Coast Guard; the United States National Transportation Safety Board; the United States Customs Service; the Maritime Administration of the United States Department of Transportation; and private industry organizations such as the American Bureau of Shipping.
 
These organizations establish safety criteria, investigate vessel accidents, and recommend safety standards. Violations of these laws and related regulations can result in substantial civil and criminal penalties as well as injunctions curtailing operations.
 
We believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We cannot predict whether future changes that affect compliance costs would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.
 
Highway Products.  The primary regulatory and industry authorities involved in the regulation of our highway products business are the United States Department of Transportation, the Federal Highway Administration, and various state highway departments.
 
These organizations establish certain standards and specifications related to the manufacture of our highway products. If our products were found not to be in compliance with these standards and specifications we would be required to re-qualify our products for installation on state and national highways.
 
We believe that our highway products are in substantial compliance with all applicable standards and specifications. We cannot predict whether future changes in these standards and specifications would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.
 
Occupational Safety and Health Administration and similar regulations.  Our operations are subject to regulation of health and safety matters by the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration. We believe that we employ appropriate precautions to protect our employees and others from workplace injuries and harmful exposure to materials handled and managed at our facilities. However, claims may be asserted against us for work-related illnesses or injury, and our operations may be adversely affected by the further adoption of occupational health and safety regulations in the United States or in foreign jurisdictions in which we operate.

Table of Contents

While we do not anticipate having to make material expenditures in order to remain in substantial compliance with health and safety laws and regulations, we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings or if we were found to be responsible or liable in any litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to us.
 
Other Matters.  To date, we have not suffered any material shortages with respect to obtaining sufficient energy supplies to operate our various plant facilities or transportation vehicles. Future limitations on the availability or consumption of petroleum products, particularly natural gas for plant operations and diesel fuel for vehicles, could have an adverse effect upon our ability to conduct our business. The likelihood of such an occurrence or its duration, and its ultimate effect on our operations, cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.
 
Executive Officers of the Company.  The following table sets forth the names and ages of all of our executive officers, their positions and offices presently held by them, the year each person first became an executive officer and the term of each person’s office:

Item 1A.   Risk Factors.
 
There are risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different from those indicated by forward-looking statements that we make from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, news releases, reports, proxy statements, registration statements, and other written communications, as well as oral forward-looking statements made from time to time by representatives of our Company. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks described below. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. The cautionary statements below discuss important factors that could cause our business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows to be materially adversely affected. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein. We undertake no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
 
The cyclical nature of our business results in lower revenues during economic downturns.  We operate in cyclical industries. Downturns in overall economic conditions usually have a significant adverse effect on cyclical industries due to decreased demand for new and replacement products. Decreased demand could result in lower sales volumes, lower prices, and/or a loss of profits. The railcar, barge, and wind tower industries have previously experienced deep down cycles and operated with a minimal backlog. If a down cycle were to return, we could experience losses and close plants, suspend production, and incur related costs.
 
Litigation claims could increase our costs and weaken our financial condition.  We and our subsidiaries are currently, and may from time to time be, involved in various legal proceedings arising out of our operations. Adverse outcomes in some or all of the claims pending against us could result in significant monetary damages against us that could increase our costs and weaken our financial condition. While we maintain reserves and liability insurance at coverage levels based upon commercial norms in our industries, our reserves may be inadequate to cover these claims or lawsuits or any future claims or lawsuits arising from our businesses, and any such claims or lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations or overall financial condition.
 
Increases in the price and demand for steel and other component parts could lower our margins and profitability.  The principal material used in our Rail, Inland Barge, and Energy Equipment Groups is steel. During 2006, the prices of steel we purchased increased at a much lower rate than in 2005. The prices for other component parts we purchased in 2006 increased significantly and have been volatile on a month-to-month basis. We used escalation clauses and other arrangements with our customers to reduce the impact of these cost increases, thus minimizing the effect on our operating margins for the year.
 
Availability of steel improved significantly during 2006, while the availability of other components, especially railcar wheels, continues to be an issue. In general, we believe there is enough capacity in the supply industry to meet current production levels. We believe our existing contracts and other relationships we have in place will meet our current production forecasts. However, any unanticipated interruption in our supply chain would have an impact on both our margins and production schedules.
 
We have potential exposure to environmental liabilities, which may increase costs and lower profitability.  Our operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations, including those dealing with air quality and the handling and disposal of waste products, fuel products, and hazardous substances. In particular, we may incur remediation costs and other related expenses because some of our manufacturing facilities were constructed and operated before the adoption of current environmental laws, and some of the products that we manufacture are used to transport hazardous materials.
 
Furthermore, although we intend to conduct appropriate due diligence with respect to environmental matters in connection with future acquisitions, we may be unable to identify or be indemnified for all potential environmental liabilities relating to any acquired business. Environmental liabilities incurred by us, if not covered by adequate insurance or indemnification, will increase our respective costs and have a negative impact on our profitability.

We compete in highly competitive industries, which may impact our respective financial results.  We face aggressive competition in all geographic markets and each industry sector in which we operate. As a result, competition on pricing is often intense. The effect of this competition could reduce our revenues, limit our ability to grow, increase pricing pressure on our products, and otherwise affect our financial results.
 
If our railcar leasing subsidiary is unable to obtain acceptable long-term financing of its railcar lease fleet, our lenders may foreclose on the portion of our lease fleet that secures our warehouse facility.  TILC, our wholly owned captive leasing subsidiary, uses borrowings under a warehouse facility to initially finance the railcars it purchases from us. Borrowings under the warehouse facility are secured by the specific railcars financed by such borrowings and the underlying leases. The warehouse facility is non-recourse to us and to our subsidiaries other than Trinity Rail Leasing Trust II (“TRL II”) a qualified subsidiary of TILC that is the borrower under the warehouse facility. Borrowings under the warehouse facility are available through August 2007, and unless renewed would be payable in three equal installments in February 2008, August 2008, and February 2009. A decline in the value of the railcars securing borrowings under the warehouse facility or in the creditworthiness of the lessees under the associated leases could reduce TRL II’s ability to obtain long-term financing for such railcars. Additionally, fluctuations in interest rates from the time TRL II purchases railcars with short-term borrowings under the warehouse facility and the time TRL II obtains permanent financing for such railcars could decrease our profitability on the leasing of the railcars and could have an adverse impact on our financial results. If TRL II is unable to obtain long-term financing to replace borrowings under the warehouse facility, Trinity may decide to satisfy TRL II’s indebtedness under the warehouse facility or the lenders under the warehouse facility may foreclose on the portion of TRL II’s lease fleet pledged to secure this facility. As of December 31, 2006, there was $79.0 million of indebtedness outstanding and $296.0 million was available under the warehouse facility.
 
We may be unable to re-market leased railcars on favorable terms, which could result in lower lease utilization rates and reduced revenues.  The profitability of our railcar leasing business is dependent in part on our ability to re-lease or sell railcars we own upon the expiration of existing lease terms. Our ability to re-market leased railcars profitably is dependent upon several factors, including, among others:
 
  •  the cost of and demand for newer models;
 
  •  the availability in the market generally of other used or new railcars;
 
  •  the degree of obsolescence of leased railcars;
 
  •  prevailing market and economic conditions, including interest and inflation rates;
 
  •  the need for refurbishment;
 
  •  the cost of materials and labor; and
 
  •  volume of railcar traffic.
 
A downturn in the industries in which our lessees operate and decreased demand for railcars could also increase our exposure to re-market risk because lessees may demand shorter lease terms, requiring us to re-market leased railcars more frequently. Furthermore, the resale market for previously leased railcars has a limited number of potential buyers. Our inability to re-lease or sell leased railcars on favorable terms could result in lower lease utilization rates and reduced revenues.
 
TILC’s reserve for credit losses may prove inadequate.  Our reserve for possible credit losses is maintained based upon management’s judgment of losses, history, and risks inherent in the railcar lease portfolio. We periodically review our reserve for adequacy considering economic conditions and trends, and collateral values; car type concentration risk including our ability to re-market railcars, utilization levels of the lease fleet, market conditions of various industries, credit quality indicators; including external credit reports, past charge-off experiences and levels of past due receivables. We cannot be certain that our reserve for credit losses will be adequate over time to cover credit losses in our portfolio because of unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or events adversely affecting specific customers, industries or markets. If the credit quality of our customer base materially deteriorates, our reserves may be inadequate to cover credit losses, and any such losses could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations or overall financial condition.

Fluctuations in the supply of component parts used in the production of our railcar products could have a material adverse effect on our ability to cost-effectively manufacture and sell our products.  A significant portion of our business depends on the adequate supply of numerous specialty components such as brakes, wheels, side frames, bolsters, and bearings at competitive prices. We depend on third-party suppliers for a significant portion of our component part needs. Specialty components comprise a significant portion of the production cost of each railcar we manufacture. Due to consolidations and challenging industry conditions, the number of alternative suppliers of specialty components has declined in recent years, though generally a minimum of two suppliers continue to produce each type of component we use in our products. While we endeavor to be diligent in contractual relationships with our suppliers, a significant decrease in the availability of specialty components could materially increase our cost of goods sold or prevent us from manufacturing our products on a timely basis.
 
Reductions in the availability of energy supplies or an increase in energy costs may increase our operating costs.  We use natural gas at our manufacturing facilities and use diesel fuel in vehicles to transport our products to customers and to operate our plant equipment. Over the past three years, prices for natural gas have fluctuated significantly. An outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power and, in particular, a prolonged armed conflict in the Middle East, could result in a real or perceived shortage of petroleum and/or natural gas, which could result in an increase in the cost of natural gas or energy in general. As experienced in 2005, hurricanes or other natural disasters could result in a real or perceived shortage of petroleum and/or natural gas, which could result in an increase in natural gas prices or general energy costs. Future limitations on the availability or consumption of petroleum products and/or an increase in energy costs, particularly natural gas for plant operations and diesel fuel for vehicles and plant equipment, could have an adverse effect upon our ability to conduct our business cost effectively.
 
Our manufacturer’s warranties expose us to potentially significant claims.  Depending on the product, we warrant against manufacturing defects due to our workmanship and certain materials pursuant to express limited contractual warranties. Accordingly, we may be subject to significant warranty claims in the future such as multiple claims based on one defect repeated throughout our mass production process or claims for which the cost of repairing the defective part is highly disproportionate to the original cost of the part. These types of warranty claims could result in costly product recalls, significant repair costs, and damage to our reputation.
 
Increasing insurance claims and expenses could lower profitability and increase business risk.  The nature of our business subjects us to product liability, property damage, and personal injury claims, especially in connection with the repair and manufacture of products that transport hazardous or volatile materials. We maintain reserves and liability insurance coverage at levels based upon commercial norms in the industries in which we operate and our historical claims experience. Over the last several years, insurance carriers have raised premiums for many companies operating in our industries. Increased premiums may further increase our insurance expense as coverage expires or otherwise cause us to raise our self-insured retention. If the number or severity of claims within our self-insured retention increases, we could suffer costs in excess of our reserves. An unusually large liability claim or a string of claims based on a failure repeated throughout our mass production process may exceed our insurance coverage or result in direct damages if we were unable or elected not to insure against certain hazards because of high premiums or other reasons. In addition, the availability of, and our ability to collect on, insurance coverage is often subject to factors beyond our control. Moreover, any accident or incident involving us, even if we are fully insured or not held to be liable, could negatively affect our reputation among customers and the public, thereby making it more difficult for us to compete effectively, and could significantly affect the cost and availability of insurance in the future.
 
Risks related to our operations outside of the United States could decrease our profitability.  Our operations outside of the United States are subject to the risks associated with cross-border business transactions and activities. Political, legal, trade, or economic changes or instability could limit or curtail our respective foreign business activities and operations. Some foreign countries where we operate have regulatory authorities that regulate railroad safety, railcar design and railcar component part design, performance, and manufacture of equipment used on their railroad systems. If we fail to obtain and maintain certifications of our railcars and railcar parts within the various foreign countries where we operate, we may be unable to market and sell our railcars in those countries. In addition, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other trade barriers, more stringent rules relating to labor or the environment, adverse tax consequences, and price exchange controls could limit operations and make the

manufacture and distribution of our products difficult. Furthermore, any material change in the quotas, regulations, or duties on imports imposed by the United States government and agencies or on exports by the government of Mexico or its agencies could affect our ability to export our products that we manufacture in Mexico.
 
Because we do not have employment contracts with our key management employees, we may not be able to retain their services in the future.  Our success depends on the continued services of our key management employees, none of whom currently have employment agreements with us. Although we have historically been successful in retaining the services of our key management, we may not be able to do so in the future. The loss of the services of one or more key members of our management team could result in increased costs associated with attracting and retaining a replacement and could disrupt our operations and result in a loss of revenues.
 
Repercussions from terrorist activities or armed conflict could harm our business.  Terrorist activities, anti-terrorist efforts, and other armed conflict involving the United States or its interests abroad may adversely affect the United States and global economies and could prevent us from meeting our financial and other obligations. In particular, the negative impacts of these events may affect the industries in which we operate. This could result in delays in or cancellations of the purchase of our products or shortages in raw materials or component parts. Any of these occurrences could have a material adverse impact on our operating results, revenues, and costs.
 
Violations of or changes in the regulatory requirements applicable to the industries in which we operate may increase our operating costs.  We are subject to extensive regulation by governmental regulatory and industry authorities. Our railcar operations are subject to regulation by the United States Environmental Protection Agency; the Research and Special Programs Administration, a division of the United States Department of Transportation; the Federal Railroad Administration, a division of the United States Department of Transportation, and the Association of American Railroads. These organizations establish rules and regulations for the railcar industry, including construction specifications and standards for the design and manufacture of railcars; mechanical, maintenance, and related standards for railcars; safety of railroad equipment, tracks, and operations; and packaging and transportation of hazardous materials. Future changes that affect compliance costs may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.
 
Our Inland Barge operations are subject to regulation by the United States Coast Guard; the National Transportation Safety Board; the United States Customs Service; the Maritime Administration of the United States Department of Transportation; and private industry organizations such as the American Bureau of Shipping. These organizations establish safety criteria, investigate vessel accidents and recommend improved safety standards. Violations of these regulations and related laws can result in substantial civil and criminal penalties as well as injunctions curtailing operations.
 
Our operations are also subject to regulation of health and safety matters by the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration. We believe that we employ appropriate precautions to protect our employees and others from workplace injuries and harmful exposure to materials handled and managed at our facilities. However, claims that may be asserted against us for work-related illnesses or injury, and the further adoption of occupational health and safety regulations in the United States or in foreign jurisdictions in which we operate could increase our operating costs. We are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these health and safety laws and regulations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation, investigations, or other proceedings or if we were found to be responsible or liable in any litigation, investigations, or proceedings, that such costs would not be material to us.
 
We may be required to reduce our inventory carrying values, which would negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.  We are required to record our inventories at the lower of cost or market. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, we are required to make judgments as to future demand requirements and compare that with the current or committed inventory levels. We have historically recorded reductions in inventory carrying values due to discontinuance of product lines as well as changes in market conditions due to changes in demand requirements. We may be required to reduce inventory carrying values in the future due to a severe decline in market conditions, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may be required to reduce the value of our long-lived assets and/or goodwill, which would weaken our results of operations.  We periodically evaluate the carrying values of our long-lived assets to be held and used for potential impairment. The carrying value of a long-lived asset to be held and used is considered impaired when the carrying value is not recoverable through undiscounted future cash flows and the fair value of the asset is less than the carrying value. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks involved or market quotes as available. Impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the estimated cost to dispose of the assets. In addition, we are required, at least annually, to evaluate goodwill related to acquired businesses for potential impairment indicators that are based primarily on market conditions in the United States and the operational performance of our reporting units. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that goodwill associated with our acquired businesses is impaired. Any resulting impairment loss related to reductions in the value of our long-lived assets or our goodwill could weaken our financial condition and results of operations.
 
We may incur increased costs due to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.  We are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We seek to minimize these risks, when considered appropriate, through the use of currency and interest rate hedges and similar financial instruments and other activities, although these measures may not be implemented or effective. Any material and untimely changes in interest rates or exchange rates could result in significant losses to us.

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
Company Overview
 
Trinity Industries, Inc., with headquarters in Dallas, Texas, is a holding company of diversified industrial companies with market-leading positions that provides products and services for the transportation, industrial, construction, and energy sectors of the marketplace. We operate in five distinct business groups which we report on a segment basis: the Rail Group, Construction Products Group, Inland Barge Group, Energy Equipment Group, and Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group. We also report All Other which includes the Company’s captive insurance and transportation companies, legal and environmental costs associated with non-operating facilities, other peripheral businesses, and the change in market valuation related to ineffective commodity hedges.
 
Our Rail and Inland Barge Groups and our structural wind towers business operate in cyclical industries. In 2006, we continued to experience an increase in industrial activity and signs of improvement in the manufacturing sector that we began seeing in 2005 and 2004. We continually assess our manufacturing capacity and take steps to adjust our production facilities in line with the nature of the demand. Our Construction Products and Energy Equipment Groups are subject to seasonal fluctuations with the first quarter historically being the weakest quarter. Fluctuations in the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group are primarily driven by car sales from the lease fleet.
 
Executive Summary
 
The Company’s revenues for 2006 exceeded $3.2 billion. Our Rail Group led the way with combined revenues of over $2.1 billion, of which $0.6 billion was sales of railcars to the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group. The fundamentals for the railcar and barge business were very strong. The increased demand for coal, grain, renewable fuels, cement, aggregates, and other basic materials enhanced the growth.
 
Operating profit from continuing operations exceeded $380 million for 2006. Once again the Rail Group was the leader with over $250 million in operating profits.
 
Income from continuing operations nearly doubled and net income more than doubled during 2006 over the prior year.
 
Capital expenditures for 2006 exceeded $660 million with approximately $540 million utilized for lease fleet additions, net of deferred profit.
 
We ended 2006 with a backlog in our Rail Group of approximately 35,930 railcars of which 51% is currently dedicated to our Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group, although this may vary by the time of delivery. This was a year over year increase of approximately 17,000 railcars.
 
Global Insight, an independent industry research firm, has estimated the average age of the North American freight car fleet is approximately 19.5 years, with over 44.5% older than 25 years and has estimated that United States carload traffic will expand by about 1.4% per year through 2010.
 
The table below is a composite of independent third party research of the industries’ estimates of approximate railcar deliveries for the next 5 years:
 
     
2007
  68,200
2008
  65,000
2009

TILC purchases a portion of our railcar production, financing a portion of the purchase price through a non-recourse warehouse lending facility and periodically refinancing those borrowings through sale/leaseback and other leveraged lease or equipment financing transactions. In 2006, TILC purchased approximately 30.9% of our railcar production, up from 22.9% in 2005. This percentage increase is the result of a strategic decision to grow the lease

fleet. On a segment basis, sales to TILC and related profits are included in the operating results of our Rail Group but are eliminated in consolidation.
 
In June 2006, we completed the stock sale of our weld pipe fittings business to an investment firm for $54.3 million. The sale resulted in an after-tax gain of $22.7 million. In August 2006, we sold our European Rail business to an investment firm (“Purchaser”) for $30.0 million plus working capital, as defined in the agreement. Further, the Purchaser agreed to lease certain equipment from the Company with lease obligations totaling approximately $6.0 million. The Company indemnified the Purchaser for the product warranties for the sold business capped at a maximum exposure of $8.0 million. The sale resulted in an after-tax gain of $0.8 million. Such gain includes the reversal of the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment (“CTA”) related to the European operations of $8.7 million. Segment information for both sales has been adjusted for these changes by removing the effect of the discontinued operations from historical operations.
 
In September 2006, we committed to a plan to divest of our Brazilian operations, which have historically been a component of the Energy Equipment Group. Given our plan to divest of its Brazilian operations, the CTA related to the Brazilian operations has been included as part of the carrying amount of the investment when evaluating impairment. Including CTA amounts in the total value of the investment when evaluating the investment for impairment resulted in the Company recording an asset impairment charge of $3.9 million. Segment information has been retroactively adjusted for this change by removing the effect of the discontinued operation from historical operations.

Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased across all segments. Increased railcar shipments to both external customers and our Leasing Group yielded higher revenues for the Rail Group. The increase in revenues for the Construction Products Group was primarily attributable to an increase in raw material costs which were passed through to our customers in the form of higher sales prices. An increase in hopper barge sales was the primary attribute for the increase in revenues in our Inland Barge Group. An increase in the sale of structural wind towers drove the increase in revenues in the Energy Equipment Group. The increase in revenue in the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group resulted from an increase in the size of the fleet, higher average lease rates and an increase in sales of cars from the lease fleet.
 
Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased primarily due to significant increases in external sales by the Rail Group. Additionally, the increase in revenues for the Construction Products Group was primarily attributable to increased raw material costs which were passed through to our customers in the form of higher sales prices. In 2005, the Construction Products Group experienced favorable weather that also attributed to increased revenues. The increased revenue for the Inland Barge Group was primarily attributable to a change in the mix of barges sold and increases in raw material costs which resulted in higher sales prices. The increased revenue for the Energy Equipment Group was primarily attributable to increases in sales of structural wind towers. The increased revenue from the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group resulted from an increase in the size of the fleet and improvements in utilization, partially offset by decreases in sales of cars from the leased fleet.

Our operating profit for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased as the result of improved revenues, improved pricing, an increase in the size of our lease fleet, and cost savings due to increased volumes in our manufacturing business. Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6.5% for 2006 compared to 6.7% for 2005. Overall, selling, engineering and administrative expenses increased $26.9 million year over year as a result of increased headcount and related costs, higher incentive costs, and increased professional services.
 
Our operating profit for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased as the result of improved efficiencies and cost savings due to increased volumes in our manufacturing businesses, increased pricing, and increased size and utilization of our lease fleet. Additionally, operating profit increased due to significant decreases in the expense related to losses on contracts resulting from increased prices of steel and other raw materials in our Rail and Inland Barge Groups, partially offset by increased warranty expense. Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6.7% for 2005 compared to 7.9% for 2004. Overall, selling, engineering, and administrative expenses increased $26.0 million year over year as a result of increased headcount and related cost attributable to production volume increases.
 
Other Income and Expense.  Interest expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest, was $49.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 and $39.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Interest income increased $11.7 million over the prior year due to an increase in investments resulting from an increase in cash available for investment primarily from the funding of the Convertible Subordinated Notes (Note 9 in the consolidated financial statements), and higher interest rates. During 2006, the Company capitalized interest expense of $0.3 million as part of the cost of construction of facilities. Interest expense increased $21.9 million over the prior year. The increase in interest expense was due to an increase in debt levels and higher interest rates. Other, net increased primarily due to gains on the disposal of property, plant, and equipment, offset by the sale of an equity interest in a leasing investment and royalties earned on the lease of mineral drilling rights in the prior year.
 
Interest expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest, was $39.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and $32.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2004. Interest income decreased $6.9 million from the same period in 2004. During 2005, the Company capitalized interest expense of $0.7 million as part of the cost of construction of facilities and equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the increase in interest income was due primarily to $8.1 million interest received on funds held on deposit in Mexico. Interest expense remained relatively constant for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Other, net increased due to the sale of an equity interest in a leasing investment, royalties earned on the lease of mineral rights, and higher gains on sales of property, plant, and equipment.
 
Income Taxes.  The effective tax rate for continuing operations for 2006 of 38.2% was greater than the statutory rate of 35.0% due to state income taxes and the change in the State of Texas margin tax. The prior year effective tax rate for continuing operations of 37.3% was greater than the statutory rate of 35% due to state income taxes, the write-down of goodwill that was not deductible for tax purposes, and the impact of certain foreign tax

losses in jurisdictions with a lower tax rate or in foreign locations where tax benefits were not recorded. The effective tax rate for continuing operations for 2004 of 33.8% was lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to state tax expense and the benefits of the change in tax laws and rates in foreign jurisdictions, which reduced deferred tax liabilities that had been previously recorded.

Railcars shipped increased 10.1% over 2005 shipments to approximately 25,240 railcars compared to the railcars shipped in 2005 and 2004 of approximately 22,930 and 15,100 railcars, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, our Rail Group backlog was approximately 35,930 railcars, of which approximately 51% was dedicated to the Leasing Group which has lease agreements for these railcars with external customers; the amount dedicated to the Leasing Group may vary by the time of delivery. This compares to approximately 18,800 and 19,400 railcars as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, of which approximately 31% and 16%, respectively, were dedicated to the Leasing Group which had lease agreements for those railcars with external customers.
 
Operating profit for the Rail Group increased for the year ended December 31, 2006 by $118.9 million compared to the prior year. This increase was primarily due to increased pricing and volume.
 
The operating profit for the Rail Group increased for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 primarily due to increased pricing, volume and improved operating efficiencies, partially offset by increased warranty expense. The year ended December 31, 2004 was adversely impacted by increased material costs of $40 million above costs anticipated for contracts that existed at the beginning of 2004, shortages of material and unanticipated plant shut-downs of $6.6 million, and start-up costs related to re-opening manufacturing facilities of $1.9 million.
 
In the year ended December 31, 2006 railcar sales to the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group were $620.0 million compared to $395.7 million in 2005 with profit of $83.3 million compared to $50.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Railcar sales to the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group for 2004 were $171.7 million with profit of $14.0 million. Sales to the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group and related profits are included in the operating results of the Rail Group but are eliminated in consolidation.

Revenues increased for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same periods in 2005 and 2004, primarily due to higher sales of structural wind towers. Activity in the structural wind towers business resumed in the latter part of 2004 and has continued to improve through 2006 with the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which provided production tax credits on wind generated energy. In 2006, the production tax credits were extended through 2008. Increased sales of container heads for tank cars, as well as improved pricing on containers sold in Mexico, also contributed to increased revenues in the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
The operating profit for the year ended December 31, 2006 was higher than last year due to increased sales of structural wind towers. The operating profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2005 was higher than the same period in 2004 due to the resumed operations for the manufacture of structural wind towers, more favorable market conditions for certain of our products, continued cost reductions, and improved pricing.

Total revenues increased for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the same period last year due to increased rental revenues related to additions to the lease fleet, higher average rental rates, origination and management fees on leases sold to outside parties, and sales of cars from the lease fleet. Total revenues increased for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 due to increased rental revenues related to additions to the lease fleet, higher average lease rates, and improved fleet utilization, partially offset by reductions in sales of railcars from the lease fleet.
 
Operating profit for leasing and management operations increased for the year ended December 31, 2006 primarily attributable to an increase in the size of the fleet, higher average lease rates, improved efficiencies in

maintenance expenses, and a change in depreciation expense due to the extension of the estimated useful lives of railcars in the fourth quarter of 2005. Operating profit for the leasing and management operations as well as from the sales of cars from the lease fleet increased for the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to additions to the lease fleet, higher average lease rates, improved utilization, and lease fleet sales.
 
To fund the continued expansion of its lease fleet to meet market demand, the Leasing Group generally uses its non-recourse warehouse facility or excess cash to provide initial financing for a portion of the manufacturing costs of the cars. Subsequently, the Leasing Group generally obtains long-term financing for the cars in the lease fleet through long-term recourse debt such as equipment trust certificates, long-term non-recourse operating leases pursuant to sales/leaseback transactions, non-recourse asset-backed securities, or recourse convertible subordinated notes. In May 2006, Trinity Rail Leasing V, L.P., a limited partnership (“TRL-V”) and a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company owned through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, TILC, issued $355 million in aggregate principal amount of Secured Railcar Equipment Notes, Series 2006-1A (the “Secured Railcar Equipment Notes”). The Secured Railcar Equipment Notes were issued pursuant to a Master Indenture, dated May 24, 2006, between TRL-V and Wilmington Trust Company, as indenture trustee. These Secured Railcar Equipment Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.9% per annum, are payable monthly, have a final maturity of May 14, 2036, and are limited recourse obligations of TRL-V only, secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases thereon, certain cash reserves, and other assets acquired and owned by TRL-V.
 
We use a non-GAAP measure to compare performance between periods. This non-GAAP measure is EBITDAR, which is Operating Profit of the Leasing Group plus depreciation and rental or lease expense, excluding the impact of sales of cars from the lease fleet. We use this measure to eliminate the costs resulting from financings. EBITDAR should not be considered as an alternative to operating profit or other GAAP financial measurements as an indicator of our operating performance. EBITDAR is shown below:

The increase in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 over 2005 and 2004 was primarily attributable to an increase in intersegment sales by our transportation company. The operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was due to legal and environmental costs associated with non-operating facilities and the expense related to the market valuation of ineffective commodity hedges. The operating loss in the year ended December 31, 2005 was primarily due to costs associated with non-operating plants. The operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 contained a reversal of $3.1 million of expenses due to an adjustment of reserves for contingencies related to non-operating plants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash Flows
 
Operating Activities.  Net cash provided by the operating activities of continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $113.4 million compared to $125.2 million of net cash provided by the operating activities of continuing operations for the same period in 2005. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and an increase in inventories and other assets, partially offset by an increase in net income for the year ended 2006, an increase in deferred taxes, and a decrease in receivables. The increase in inventories was related to increased production volumes. The increase in other assets was primarily the result of an increase in restricted cash related to the Leasing Group. Net cash provided by the operating activities of discontinued operations decreased to $17.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $40.0 million for the same period in 2005.
 
Investing Activities.  Net cash required by investing activities of continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $555.8 million compared to $389.3 million for the same period last year. Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $661.1 million, of which $543.6 million were for additions to the lease fleet. This compares to $433.5 million of capital expenditures for the same period last year, of which $345.8 million were for additions to the lease fleet. Proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment were $108.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, composed primarily of railcar sales from the lease fleet and the sale of non-operating assets, compared to $44.2 million for the same period in 2005 composed primarily of railcar sales from the lease fleet and the sale of non-operating assets. For the year ended December 31, 2006, $3.5 million of cash was required for acquisitions by our Construction Products Group. Cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations of $82.9 million was primarily due to the sales of our weld fittings business and our European railcar business.
 
Financing Activities.  Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $517.6 million compared to $186.5 million for the same period in 2005. We intend to use our cash to fund the operations of the Company, including expansion of manufacturing plants and expansion of our leasing fleet.
 
At December 31, 2006, there were no borrowings under our $350 million revolving credit facility. In June 2006, we removed collateral requirements related to this credit facility, modified debt covenant requirements, and extended the maturity of this facility to April 2011.
 
In June 2006, we completed the sale of $450 million of Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2036 (“Convertible Subordinated Notes”). The Convertible Subordinated Notes bear an interest rate of 37/8% per annum on the principal amount payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, which began on December 1, 2006. In addition, commencing with the six-month period beginning June 1, 2018, and for each six-month period thereafter, the Company will pay contingent interest to the holders of the Convertible Subordinated Notes under certain circumstances. The Convertible Subordinated Notes mature on June 1, 2036, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased, or converted. The conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Notes into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock is limited to specific circumstances described in the indenture. A conversion would currently be based on a conversion rate of 19.1472 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $52.23 per share, on a post-split basis. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from this sale to retire $98.5 million of Senior Notes and $0.7 million of Equipment Trust certificates.
 
In May 2006, TRL-V, a limited partnership and a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company owned through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary TILC issued $355 million in aggregate principal amount of Secured Railcar Equipment Notes, Series 2006-1A. The Secured Railcar Equipment Notes were issued pursuant to a Master Indenture, dated May 24, 2006, between TRL-V and Wilmington Trust Company, as indenture trustee. These Secured Railcar Equipment Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.9% per annum, payable monthly, and have a final maturity of May 14, 2036. These Secured Railcar Equipment Notes are limited recourse obligations of TRL-V only, secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases thereon, certain cash reserves, and other assets acquired and owned by TRL-V.

TILC’s current warehouse facility was established to finance railcars owned by TILC. With the issuance of the Secured Railcar Equipment Notes, described above, the facility was reduced from $500 million to $375 million in June 2006. At December 31, 2006, there was $79.0 million outstanding on this facility.
 
Future Operating Requirements
 
We expect to finance future operating requirements with cash flows from operations, and depending on market conditions, long-term and short-term debt and equity. Debt instruments that the Company has utilized include its revolving credit facility, the warehouse facility, senior notes, convertible subordinated notes, asset-backed securities, and sale/leaseback transactions. The Company has also issued equity at various times. The Company assesses the market conditions at the time of its financing needs and determines which of these instruments to utilize.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
In prior years, the Leasing Group completed a series of financing transactions whereby railcars were sold to one or more separate independent owner trusts. Each trust financed the purchase of the railcars with a combination of debt and equity. In each transaction, the equity participant in the trust is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the trusts. The Leasing Group, through newly formed, wholly owned qualified subsidiaries, leased railcars from the trusts under operating leases with terms of 22 years, and subleased the railcars to independent third party customers under shorter term operating rental agreements. Under the terms of the operating lease agreements between the subsidiaries and trusts, the Leasing Group has the option to purchase at a predetermined fixed price, certain of the railcars from the trusts in 2016 and other railcars in 2019. The Leasing Group also has options to purchase the railcars at the end of the respective lease agreements in 2023, 2026, and 2027 at the then fair market value of the railcars as determined by a third party, independent appraisal. At the expiration of the operating lease agreements, we have no further obligations there-under.
 
The Leasing Group’s subsidiaries had total assets as of December 31, 2006 of $210.4 million including cash of $71.0 million and Leasing Group railcars of $109.0 million. The rights, title and interest in each sublease, cash, and railcar are pledged to collateralize the lease obligations to the trusts and are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Trinity does not guarantee the performance of the subsidiaries’ lease obligations. Certain ratios and cash deposits must be maintained by the Leasing Group’s subsidiaries in order for excess cash flow, as defined in the agreements, from the lease to third parties, to be available to Trinity. Future operating lease obligations of the Leasing Group’s subsidiaries as well as future minimum rental revenues related to these leases due to the Leasing Group are as follows:

In each transaction, the Leasing Group has entered into a servicing and re-marketing agreement with the trusts under which the Leasing Group is required to endeavor, consistent with customary commercial practice as would be used by a prudent person, to maintain railcars under lease for the benefit of the trusts. The Leasing Group also receives management fees under the terms of the agreements. In each transaction, an independent trustee for the trust has authority for appointment of the railcar fleet manager.

Derivative Instruments
 
We use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of increases in natural gas and diesel fuel prices and interest rates. For instruments designated as hedges, we formally document the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the hedging instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, commitments or forecasted transactions. We assess at the time a derivative contract is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows. Any change in fair value resulting from ineffectiveness, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS 133”), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, is recognized in current period earnings. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedge transaction affects earnings.
 
Interest Rate
 
From time to time, we enter into various interest rate hedging transactions for the purpose of managing exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and establishing rates in anticipation of future debt issuances. We use interest rate swaps and forward interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Our measurement of the fair value of interest rate swaps is based on estimates of the mid-market values for the transactions provided by the counterparties to these agreements.
 
As of December 31, 2006, we had $65.0 million of interest rate swaps outstanding to fix the LIBOR component of outstanding debt. No portion of these swaps was treated as ineffective during the year ended December 31, 2006. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet for these instruments was a net asset of $0.4 million as of December 31, 2006 with $0.4 million balance of income in AOCI. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 was income of $1.0 million.
 
In anticipation of a future debt issuance, we entered into interest rate swap transactions during 2005 and 2006. These instruments, with a notional amount of $200 million, fixed the interest rate on a portion of a future debt issuance associated with a railcar leasing transaction in 2006 and settled at maturity in the first quarter of 2006. The weighted average fixed interest rate under these instruments was 4.87%. These interest rate swaps were accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $4.5 million of income recorded in AOCI. The future debt issuance closed in the second quarter of 2006. As of December 31, 2006, the balance remaining in AOCI was $4.2 million. The effect of the amortization on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 was income of $0.2 million.
 
In addition, in anticipation of a future debt issuance, we entered into interest rate swap transactions during the fourth quarter of 2006. These instruments, with a notional amount of $120 million, hedge the interest rate on a future debt issuance associated with an anticipated secured borrowing facility in 2007 and will expire in the fourth quarter of 2007. The weighted average fixed interest rate under these instruments is 5.14%. These interest rate swaps are being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $0.3 million in income recorded in AOCI.
 
Natural Gas and Diesel Fuel
 
We continue a program to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the price of its natural gas and diesel fuel purchases. The intent of the program is to protect our operating profit and overall profitability from adverse price changes by entering into hedge instruments. Since the majority of these instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, any change in their valuation will be recorded directly to the consolidated statement of operations. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet for these instruments was a liability of $2.9 million as of December 31, 2006 with $0.4 million of expense in AOCI. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 was expense of $5.2 million. The amounts recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2005 for natural gas and diesel fuel hedge transactions were not significant.


26


Table of Contents

 
We measures the fair value of natural gas and diesel fuel hedges from data provided by various external sources. To value a swap, we use the forward commodity price for the period hedged. The fair values are calculated and provided by a third party administrator. We monitor our hedging positions and credit ratings of our third party administrators and do not anticipate losses due to administrators’ non-performance.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
We have a share-based compensation plan covering its employees and our Board of Directors. Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for stock-based compensation utilizing the intrinsic value method in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and Related Interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized for fixed option plans because the exercise prices of employee stock options equaled or exceeded the market prices of the underlying stock on the dates of grant. However, prior to adoption of SFAS 123R, Shared-Based Payment, compensation had been included in pro forma disclosures in the financial statement footnotes for periods prior to 2006.
 
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified prospective transition method. Among other items, SFAS 123R eliminates the use of APB 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial statements.
 
We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted, consistent with that used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123. We have elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS 123R and accordingly prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. The modified prospective transition method requires that stock-based compensation expense be recorded for all new and unvested stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered beginning on January 1, 2006. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair value as determined under the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123.
 
As a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R, we recorded an incremental $1.9 million of stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006. The income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense was $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
At December 31, 2006, we had unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options of $3.7 million which will be recognized over a weighted average recognition period of 1.3 years. In 2006, no stock options were granted.
 
At December 31, 2006, we have unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted share awards of approximately $32.3 million and which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 5.1 years. Starting in 2006, certain grants of restricted share awards included a performance element.
 
Employee Retirement Plans
 
As disclosed in Note 12 of our consolidated financial statements, the projected benefit obligation for the employee retirement plans exceeds the plans’ assets by $95.8 million as of December 31, 2006 as compared to $99.1 million as of December 31, 2005. The change was primarily due to a change in the discount rate, contributions, and other actuarial variances. We continue to sponsor an employee savings plans under the existing 401(k) plan, that covers substantially all employees and includes a Company matching contribution based on our performance up to 6%, as well as a Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan.
 
Employer contributions for the year ending December 31, 2007 are expected to be $14.8 million for the defined benefit plans compared to $18.4 million contributed during 2006. Employer contributions to the 401(k) plans and the Supplemental Profit Sharing Plan for the year ending December 31, 2007 are expected to be $5.5 million compared to $4.2 million during 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventories, property, plant, and equipment, goodwill, income taxes, warranty obligations, insurance, restructuring costs, contingencies, and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
We believe the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
 
Inventory
 
We state our inventories at the lower of cost or market. Our policy related to excess and obsolete inventory requires the inventory to be analyzed at the business unit level on a quarterly basis and to record any required adjustments. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, we are required to make judgments as to future demand requirements and compare that with the current or committed inventory levels. It is possible that changes in required inventory reserves may occur in the future due to then current market conditions.
 
Long-lived Assets
 
We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used for potential impairment. The carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used is considered impaired when the carrying value is not recoverable through undiscounted future cash flows and the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks involved or market quotes as available. Impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the estimated cost to dispose of the assets.

Table of Contents

 
Goodwill
 
We are required, at least annually, to evaluate goodwill related to acquired businesses for potential impairment indicators that are based primarily on market conditions in the United States and the operational performance of our reporting units.
 
Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that goodwill associated with our acquired businesses is impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
 
Warranties
 
We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time we recognize revenue related to products covered by warranties assumed. We base our estimates on historical warranty claims. We also provide for specifically identified warranty obligations. Should actual claim rates differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.
 
Insurance
 
We are effectively self-insured for workers’ compensation claims. A third-party administrator processes all such claims. We accrue our workers’ compensation liability based upon independent actuarial studies. To the extent actuarial assumptions change and claims experience rates differ from historical rates, our liability may change.
 
We have casualty insurance polices that include coverage for product liability claims against the Company. We feel that the level of coverage we maintain under these policies provides adequate protection to the Company against a materially adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition.
 
Contingencies and Litigation
 
We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings. As discussed in Note 18 of our consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2006, we have accrued our estimate of the probable settlement or judgment costs for the resolution of certain of these claims. This estimate has been developed in consultation with outside counsel handling our defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. We do not believe these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions related to these proceedings.
 
Environmental
 
We are involved in various proceedings related to environmental matters. We have provided reserves to cover probable and estimable liabilities with respect to such proceedings, taking into account currently available information and our contractual rights of indemnification. However, estimates of future response costs are necessarily imprecise. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings or, if we were found to be responsible or liable in any litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to us.

Item 7A.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Our earnings could be affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have on our variable rate debt obligations, which represented approximately 6.6% of our total debt as of December 31, 2006. We have hedged 82.3% of this exposure with interest rate swaps leaving 1.2% of our total debt exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. If interest rates average one percentage point more in fiscal year 2007 than they did during in 2006, and our debt level remained constant, our interest expense would increase by $0.1 million. In comparison, at

Table of Contents

December 31, 2005, we estimated that if interest rates averaged one percentage point more in fiscal year 2006 than they did during the year ended December 31, 2005, our interest expense would increase by $1.4 million. A one percentage point change in the interest rate would increase/decrease the fair value of the fixed rate debt by approximately $140.0 million. The impact of an increase in interest rates was determined based on the impact of the hypothetical change in interest rates and scheduled principal payments on our variable-rate debt obligations as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.
 
Trinity uses derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of increases in natural gas and diesel fuel prices. Existing hedge transactions as of December 31, 2006 are based on New York Mercantile Exchange natural gas and heating oil. Hedge transactions are settled with the counterparty in cash.
 
At December 31, 2006 we had recorded in the consolidated balance sheet a liability of $2.9 million. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 was expense of $5.2 million. The amounts recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2005 for natural gas and diesel fuel hedge transactions were not significant.
 
The following table is an estimate of the impact to earnings that could result from hypothetical price changes during the year ending December 31, 2007 and the balance sheet impact from the hypothetical price change, both based on hedge positions at December 31, 2006.
 
Sensitivity Analysis
 
         
Hedge Commodity Price Change
  Annual Pre-Tax Impact   Balance Sheet Impact
    (in millions)   (in millions)
 
10 percent increase
  Decrease expense — $0.8   Decrease in liability — $1.0
10 percent decrease
  Increase expense — $0.7   Increase in liability — $1.0
 
In addition, we are subject to market risk related to our net investments in our foreign subsidiaries. The net investment in foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 is $97.3 million. The impact of such market risk exposures as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations has not been material to us. See Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
  Trinity Industries, Inc.
 
We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Trinity Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Trinity Industries, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
In our opinion, management’s assessment that Trinity Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Trinity Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the COSO criteria.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Trinity Industries, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 of Trinity Industries, Inc. and our report dated February 21, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
  Trinity Industries, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Trinity Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Trinity Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, and No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R), in 2006.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Trinity Industries, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 21, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Trinity Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The financial statements of Trinity Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Trinity” or the “Company”) include the accounts of all majority owned subsidiaries. The equity method of accounting is used for companies in which the Company has significant influence and 50% or less ownership. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Stockholders’ Equity
 
On May 15, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a 3-for-2 stock split on its common shares. The stock split was issued in the form of a 50% stock dividend. All share and per share information, including dividends, has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 3-for-2 stock split, except for the statements of stockholders’ equity which reflect the stock split by reclassifying from “Capital in Excess of Par Value” to “Common Stock” the amount of $26.9 million which equals the par value of the additional shares issued to effect the stock split.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Revenues for contracts providing for a large number of units and few deliveries are recorded as the individual units are produced, inspected, and accepted by the customer, principally in the Rail and Inland Barge Groups. Revenues from construction contracts are recorded using percentage of completion accounting, using incurred labor hours to estimated total hours of the contract. Estimated losses on all contracts are recorded when determined to be probable and estimable. Revenue from rentals and operating leases are recorded monthly as the fees accrue. Fees for shipping and handling are recorded as revenue. For all other products, the Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped or services are provided.
 
Income Taxes
 
The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.
 
Financial Instruments
 
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and receivables. The Company places its cash investments in bank deposits and investment grade, short-term debt instruments and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are limited due to control procedures to monitor the credit worthiness of customers, the large number of customers in the Company’s customer base, and their dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectibility of all receivables.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined principally on the first in first out method. Market is replacement cost or net realizable value. Work in process and finished goods include material, labor, and overhead.

Table of Contents

 
Property, Plant, and Equipment
 
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are: buildings and improvements — 5 to 30 years; leasehold improvements — the lesser of the term of the lease or 7 years; machinery and equipment — 2 to 10 years; information systems hardware and software — 2 to 5 years; and railcars in our lease fleet — generally 35 years. Based on a study performed by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2005, the estimated useful lives of certain railcars in our lease fleet were extended to 35 years. The impact of this change on net income in 2006 was an increase of approximately $4.5 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, respectively. The costs of ordinary maintenance and repair are charged to operating costs while renewals and major replacements are capitalized.
 
Long-lived Assets
 
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used for potential impairment. The carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used is considered impaired when the carrying value is not recoverable through undiscounted future cash flows and the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks involved or market quotes as available. Impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the estimated cost to dispose of the assets.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment by reporting unit at least annually as of December 31 by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its book value. As of December 31, 2006, the net book value of goodwill was $463.7 million. Intangible assets with defined useful lives, which as of December 31, 2006 had net book values of $4.8 million, are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are also, at least annually, evaluated for potential impairment.
 
Insurance
 
The Company is effectively self-insured for workers’ compensation. A third party administrator is used to process claims. The Company accrues the workers’ compensation liability based upon independent actuarial studies.
 
Trinity has casualty insurance polices that include coverage for product liability claims against the Company. The Company believes that the level of coverage we maintain under these policies provides adequate protection to the Company against materially adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition.
 
Warranties
 
The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized and assesses the adequacy of the resulting liability on a quarterly basis.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
Operations outside the United States prepare financial statements in currencies other than the United States dollar. The income statement amounts are translated at average exchange rates for the year, while the assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates. Translation adjustments are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and other comprehensive income (loss).
 
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
Other comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss), foreign currency translation adjustments, the effective unrealized portions of changes in fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments and the minimum pension liability adjustment for

the periods prior to December 31, 2006. On December 31, 2006, an adjustment to record the funded status of the Company’s employee retirement plans was made. See Note 12. All components are shown net of tax.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123R Share-Based Payment which requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair-value of those awards, in the financial statements.
 
The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted to employees, consistent with that used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company has elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS 123R and accordingly prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS 123R. The modified prospective transition method requires that stock-based compensation expense be recorded for all new and unvested stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered beginning on January 1, 2006. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair-value as determined under the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123.
 
As a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company recorded an incremental $1.9 million of stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006. The income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense was $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. In accordance with SFAS 123R, the Company has presented excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock-based compensation awards as a financing activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows. No stock-based compensation costs were capitalized as part of the cost of an asset as of December 31, 2006.

Table of Contents

 
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company measured compensation expense for its employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB No. 25. The Company applied the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure as if the fair-value based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense. Under APB No. 25, when the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options was equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense was recognized. The effect of computing compensation cost and the weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 using the BSM option pricing method for stock options are shown in the accompanying table.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“SFAS 109”). This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. This interpretation was effective for fiscal years which began after December 31, 2006. We are required to adopt this interpretation in the first quarter of 2007. We are currently evaluating the requirements of FIN 48 and have not yet determined the impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of SFAS 157.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement SFAS No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (“SFAS 158”). SFAS 158 requires plan sponsors of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans (collectively, “postretirement benefit plans”) to recognize the funded status of their postretirement benefit plans in the statement of financial position, measure the fair value of plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the statement of financial position and provide additional disclosures. On December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS 158. The effect of adopting SFAS 158 on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2006 has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. SFAS 158 did not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position at December 31, 2005 or 2004. SFAS 158’s provisions regarding the change in the measurement date of postretirement benefit plans are not applicable as the Company already used a measurement date of December 31 for its pension plan. See Note 12 for further discussion of the effect of adopting Statement 158 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position AUG AIR-1, Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities (“FSP AUG AIR-1”) that addresses the planned major maintenance of assets and prohibits the use of the “accrue-in-advance” method of accounting for these activities in annual and interim reporting periods. FSP AUG AIR-1 continues to allow the “direct expense, built-in overhaul, and deferral” methods and requires disclosure of the accounting method for planned major maintenance activities as well as information related to the change from the “accrue-in advance” method to another method. FSP AUG AIR-1 is effective for the first fiscal year which began after December 15, 2006 and should be applied retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of FSP AUG AIR-1 to have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
Management’s Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation for discontinued operations.
 
Note 2.  Acquisitions and Divestitures
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company made two acquisitions in the Company’s Construction Products Group that were accounted for by the purchase method. The combined purchase price for these acquisitions was $3.5 million. Other intangible assets of approximately $0.7 million and goodwill of approximately $0.6 million were recorded as a result of these acquisitions. The Company made an acquisition in the Company’s Construction Products Group during the year ended December 31, 2004 accounted for by the purchase method. The purchase price for this acquisition was $15.7 million. Other intangible assets of approximately $0.8 million and goodwill of approximately $5.0 million were recorded as a result of this acquisition. The acquired operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the acquisition. Pro forma results would not have been materially different from actual results for any year presented.
 
On October 26, 2001, Trinity completed a merger transaction with privately owned Thrall Car Manufacturing Company (“Thrall”). Per the merger agreement, Trinity agreed under certain circumstances to make additional payments to the former owners of Thrall, not to exceed $45 million through 2006, based on a formula related to annual railcar industry production levels. The final payment under this agreement has been made in the first quarter of 2007.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded additional goodwill of $29.7 million and $15.3 million, respectively, related to the earn-out.
 
Weld Pipe Fittings Business
 
In June 2006, the Company completed the sale of its weld pipe fittings business to an investment firm for $54.3 million cash. The sale closed on June 8, 2006 and resulted in an after-tax gain of $22.7 million.

European Rail Business
 
In August 2006, the Company sold its European Rail business to an investment firm (“Purchaser”) for $30.0 million plus working capital, as defined in the agreement. Further, the Purchaser agreed to lease certain equipment from the Company with lease obligations totaling approximately $6.0 million. A portion of the sales price was financed with a $13.5 million note from the Purchaser to the Company secured by stock of one of the companies sold. A portion of the note receivable is being accounted for using a cost recovery method. The Company retained certain assets, primarily accounts receivable, and certain liabilities. The Company indemnified the Purchaser for the product warranties for the sold business capped up to a maximum of $8.0 million. The sale closed on August 3, 2006 and resulted in an after-tax gain of $0.8 million. Such gain includes the reversal of the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment related to the European operations of $8.7 million. See Note 14.
 
In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement. In exchange for specified fees, the Company provided to the Purchaser certain services including consulting in the areas of accounting, tax, information technology, and use of certain facilities through December 31, 2006.

Other Discontinued Operations
 
In September 2006, the Company committed to a plan to divest of its Brazilian operations. Total net assets of the Brazilian operations as of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $2.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, revenues and net income from discontinued operations were insignificant. Given the Company’s plan to divest of its Brazilian operations, the accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments (“CTA”) related to the operations have been included as part of the carrying amount of the investment when evaluating impairment. Including CTA amounts in the total value of the investment when evaluating the investment for impairment resulted in the Company recording an asset impairment charge of $3.9 million.

In prior years, the Leasing Group completed a series of financing transactions whereby railcars were sold to one or more separate independent owner trusts. Each trust financed the purchase of the railcars with a combination of debt and equity. In each transaction, the equity participant in the trust is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the trusts. The Leasing Group, through newly formed, wholly owned qualified subsidiaries, leased railcars from the trusts under operating leases with terms of 22 years, and subleased the railcars to independent third party customers under shorter term operating rental agreements. Under the terms of the operating lease agreements between the subsidiaries and trusts, the Leasing Group has the option to purchase at a predetermined fixed price, certain of the railcars from the trusts in 2016 and other railcars in 2019. The Leasing Group also has options to purchase the railcars at the end of the respective lease agreements in 2023, 2026, and 2027 at the then fair market value of the railcars as determined by a third party, independent appraisal. At the expiration of the operating lease agreements, the Company has no further obligations there-under.
 
The Leasing Group’s subsidiaries had total assets as of December 31, 2006 of $210.4 million, including cash of $71.0 million and Leasing Group railcars of $109.0 million. The rights, title, and interest in each sublease, cash, and railcar are pledged to collateralize the lease obligations to the trusts and are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Trinity does not guarantee the performance of the subsidiaries’ lease obligations. Certain ratios and cash deposits must be maintained by the Leasing Group’s subsidiaries in order for excess cash flow, as defined in the agreements, from the lease to third parties to be available to Trinity. Future operating lease obligations of the Leasing Group’s subsidiaries as well as future minimum rental revenues related to these leases due to the Leasing Group are as follows:

In each transaction the Leasing Group has entered into a servicing and re-marketing agreement with the trusts under which the Leasing Group is required to endeavor, consistent with customary commercial practice as would be used by a prudent person, to maintain railcars under lease for the benefit of the trusts. The Leasing Group also receives management fees under the terms of the agreements. In each transaction, an independent trustee for the trust has authority for appointment of the railcar fleet manager.
 
Note 5.  Derivative and Financial Instruments
 
The Company uses derivatives instruments to mitigate the impact of increases in natural gas and diesel fuel prices and interest rates, as well as to convert a portion of its variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. For instruments designated as hedges, the Company formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the hedging instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, commitments, or forecasted transactions. The Company assesses at the time a derivative contract is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivative item is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows. Any change in fair value resulting from ineffectiveness, as defined by SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, is recognized in current period earnings. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

(“AOCI”) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedge transaction affects earnings.
 
Trinity monitors its derivative positions and credit ratings of its counterparties and does not anticipate losses due to counterparties’ non- performance.
 
Interest rate hedges
 
From time to time, the Company enters into various interest rate hedging transactions for the purpose of managing exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and establishing rates in anticipation of future debt issuances. The Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.
 
The Company uses interest rate swaps to fix the LIBOR component of outstanding debt. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, Trinity had $65 million and $115 million of interest rate swaps outstanding, respectively, to fix the LIBOR component of outstanding debt. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet for these instruments was an asset of $0.4 million as of December 31, 2006 with $0.4 million of income in AOCI. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 was income of $1.0 million.
 
In anticipation of a future debt issuance, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions during 2005 and 2006. These instruments, with a notional amount of $200 million, fixed the interest rate on a portion of a future debt issuance associated with a railcar leasing transaction in 2006 and settled at maturity in the first quarter of 2006. The weighted average fixed interest rate under these instruments was 4.87%. These interest rate swaps were being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $4.5 million recorded in AOCI through the date the related debt issuance closed in May 2006. The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. As of the year ended December 31, 2006, the balance remaining in AOCI was $4.2 million. The effect of the amortization on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 was income of $0.2 million.
 
In addition, in anticipation of a future debt issuance, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions during the fourth quarter of 2006. These instruments, with a notional amount of $120 million, hedge the interest rate on a future debt issuance associated with an anticipated secured borrowing facility in 2007 and will expire in the fourth quarter of 2007. The weighted average fixed interest rate under these instruments is 5.144%. These interest rate swaps are being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $0.3 million of income recorded in AOCI.
 
Natural gas and diesel fuel
 
The Company continues a program to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the price of its natural gas and diesel fuel purchases. The intent of the program is to protect the Company’s operating profit and overall profitability from adverse price changes by entering into derivative instruments. Since the majority of these instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, any change in their valuation will be recorded directly to the consolidated statement of operations. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet for these instruments was a liability of $2.9 million as of December 31, 2006 with $0.4 million of expense in AOCI. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 was expense of $5.2 million. The amounts recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2005 for natural gas and diesel fuel hedge transactions were not significant.

Ending balance
  $ 28.6     $ 36.8     $ 19.3  
                         
 
The increase in the product warranty accruals in 2005 was due primarily to an increase in product quantities covered by warranties in 2005 as well as specific issues identified during 2005. In 2005, the product warranty accrual included approximately $8.9 million related to our European discontinued operations, of which $7.0 million of warranty costs incurred was included in 2006. The recoverable warranty costs in 2005 are primarily due to calculated warranty exposures reimbursed to the Company by former owners of an acquired entity.

In June 2006, the Company completed the sale of $450 million of Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2036 (“Convertible Subordinated Notes”). The Convertible Subordinated Notes bear an interest rate of 37/8% per annum on the principal amount payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, which began on December 1, 2006. In addition, commencing with the six-month period beginning June 1, 2018, and for each six-month period thereafter, the Company will pay contingent interest to the holders of the Convertible Subordinated Notes under certain circumstances. The Convertible Subordinated Notes mature on June 1, 2036, unless redeemed, repurchased, or converted earlier. The conversion of the Convertible Subordinated Notes into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock is limited to specific circumstances described in the indenture. A conversion would currently be based on a conversion rate of 19.1472 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $52.23 per share, on a post-split basis. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from this sale to retire $98.5 million of Senior Notes and $0.7 million of Equipment Trust Certificates. The net gain on these repurchases as well as the write-off of related deferred loan fees were not significant.
 
In May 2006, Trinity Rail Leasing V, L.P., a limited partnership (“TRL-V”) and a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company owned through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Trinity Industries Leasing Company (“TILC”) issued $355.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Secured Railcar Equipment Notes, Series 2006-1A (the “Secured Railcar Equipment Notes”). The Secured Railcar Equipment Notes were issued pursuant to a Master Indenture, dated May 24, 2006, between TRL-V and Wilmington Trust Company, as indenture trustee. These Secured Railcar Equipment Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.9% per annum, are payable monthly, and have a final maturity of May 14, 2036. These Secured Railcar Equipment Notes are limited recourse obligations of TRL-V only, secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases thereon, certain cash reserves, and other assets acquired and owned by TRL-V.
 
The Company’s 61/2% senior notes (“Senior Notes”) due 2014 rank equally with all of the Company’s existing and future senior debt but are subordinated to all the Company’s existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. The Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time on or after March 15, 2009 at a redemption price of 103.25% in 2009, 102.167% in 2010, 101.083% in 2011 and 100.0% in 2012 and thereafter plus accrued interest. The Company may also redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes using the proceeds from certain public equity offerings completed on or before

March 15, 2007 at a redemption price of 106.5% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Senior Notes could restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional debt; make certain distributions, investments, and other restricted payments; create certain liens; merge; consolidate; or sell substantially all or a portion of its assets. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company repurchased $98.5 million of Senior Notes, leaving an outstanding principal balance of $201.5 million.
 
The Company’s $350 million revolving credit facility matures April 2011. The agreement requires maintenance of ratios related to interest coverage for the leasing and manufacturing operations, leverage, and minimum net worth. At December 31, 2006, there were no borrowings under the revolving credit facility. After $115.2 million was considered for letters of credit, $234.8 million was available under the revolving credit facility.
 
TILC’s $375 million non-recourse warehouse facility, established to finance railcars owned by TILC, had $79.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2006. The warehouse facility is due August 2007 and unless renewed would be payable in three equal installments in February 2008, August 2008, and February 2009. Railcars financed by the warehouse facility have historically been refinanced under long-term financing agreements. Specific railcars and the underlying leases secure the facility. Advances under the facility may not exceed 75% of the fair market value of the eligible railcars securing the facility as defined by the agreement. Advances under the facility bear interest at defined index rate plus a margin, for an all-in-rate of 6.21% at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2006, $296.0 million was available under this facility.
 
TILC’s 2002-1 Pass Through Certificates bear interest at 7.755%. Equipment notes issued by TILC for the benefit of the holders of the Pass Through Certificates are collateralized by interest in certain railcars owned by TILC and the leases pursuant to which such railcars are leased to customers. The equipment notes, including the obligations to make payments of principal and interest thereon, are direct obligations of TILC and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Trinity Industries, Inc. as guarantor.
 
Principal payments due during the next five years as of December 31, 2006 are as follows:

The reduction in the valuation allowance in 2006 relates primarily to $2.8 million of capital loss carryforwards that were not previously deemed usable for tax purposes. As a result of capital gains generated from the weld pipe fittings business and the European business sales, management now believes that it will more likely than not utilize those capital losses prior to their expiration. The balance of the change relates to the sale of the European operations and had no impact on the income tax provision.
 
At December 31, 2006, the Company had $2.0 million of Federal consolidated net operating loss carry forwards and tax effected $19.4 million of state loss carry forwards. The Federal tax loss carry forwards are related to pre-acquisition losses from acquired subsidiaries and are due to expire between 2011 and 2013. The Company has established a valuation allowance for state net operating losses which may not be realizable. These net operating losses expire between 2007 and 2025.
 
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in future periods. The Company has established valuation allowances against tax losses and credits that it will most likely be unable to utilize. The Company believes that it more likely than not will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income to utilize the remaining deferred tax assets.
 
At December 31, 2006, the Internal Revenue Service has audited tax years through December 31, 2002. Certain issues are being challenged by the Internal Revenue Service that could result in the reallocation of taxable income between two or more years. Additionally, the Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries has open audits in various states. The Company is routinely under audit by federal, foreign, and state tax authorities in the areas of income, franchise, sales and use, and other types of taxes. These audits include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions, and compliance with federal, foreign, and state tax laws. In evaluating the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, the Company accrues charges for probable exposures as well as the interest related to those exposures.

Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 was $328.2 million, $157.8 million, and ($36.5) million, respectively, for United States operations, and $20.3 million, $18.3 million, and $14.9 million, respectively, for foreign operations. The Company has provided United States deferred income taxes on the un-repatriated earnings of its foreign operations. The Company has $11.6 million of foreign tax credit carry forwards which will expire between 2013 and 2015.
 
In June 2006, the State of Texas enacted a new tax based upon a unitary group’s combined net margin and eliminated its traditional earned surplus and franchise tax. The new margin tax is based upon gross income, plus or minus certain statutorily defined adjustments and multiplied by 1%. As a result of the margin tax, deferred tax assets and liabilities that were previously established for taxes within the State of Texas amounting to $8.8 million were written off.
 
Note 12.  Employee Retirement Plans
 
On December 31, 2006, the Company adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS 158. SFAS 158 required the Company to recognize the funded status (i.e., the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligations) of its pension plans in the December 31, 2006 balance sheet, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax. The adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income at adoption represents the net unrecognized actuarial losses, unrecognized prior service costs, and unrecognized transition obligation remaining from the initial adoption of SFAS 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions, all of which were previously netted against the plan’s funded status in the Company’s balance sheet pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 87. These amounts will be subsequently recognized as net periodic pension cost pursuant to the Company’s historical accounting policy for amortizing such amounts. Further, actuarial gains and losses that arise in subsequent periods and are not recognized as net periodic pension cost in the same periods will be recognized as a component of other comprehensive income. Those amounts will be subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic pension cost on the same basis as the amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income at adoption of SFAS 158.
 
The incremental effects of adopting the provisions of SFAS 158 on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2006 are presented in the following table. The adoption of SFAS 158 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006, or for any prior period presented, and it will not effect the Company’s operating results in future periods. Had the Company not been required to adopt SFAS 158 at December 31, 2006, it would have recognized an additional minimum liability pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 87. The effect of recognizing the additional minimum liability is included in the table below in the column labeled “Prior to Application of SFAS 158.”

The transition asset, prior service cost, and actuarial loss included in AOCI and expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during the year ending December 31, 2007 is $0.1 ($0.1 net of tax), $0.2 ($0.1 net of tax), and $4.1 ($2.6 net of tax), respectively.
 
The Company sponsors defined benefit plans and defined contribution profit sharing plans which provide income and death benefits for eligible employees. The annual measurement date of the benefit obligations, fair value of plan assets and funded status is December 31.

Obligation discount rate
    6.00 %     5.75 %     6.00 %
Compensation increase rate
    4.00 %     4.00 %     4.00 %
Assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit costs were:
                       
Obligation discount rate
    5.75 %     6.00 %     6.25 %
Long-term rate of return on plan assets
    8.75 %     8.75 %     8.75 %
Compensation increase rate
    4.00 %     4.00 %     4.00 %
 
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is an assumption reflecting the anticipated weighted average rate of earnings on the portfolio over the long-term. To arrive at this rate, the Company developed estimates based upon the anticipated performance of the assets in its portfolio.

The Company’s pension investment strategies have been developed as part of a comprehensive asset/liability management process that considers the relationship between both the assets and liabilities of the plans. These strategies consider not only the expected risk and returns on plan assets, but also the actuarial projections of liabilities, projected contributions, and funded status. The equity allocation is heavily weighted toward domestic large capitalized companies. There is also a lesser exposure to domestic small/mid cap companies, as well as, international equities. The fixed income allocation is equally split between a limited duration portfolio and a core plus portfolio that has a duration in-line with published bond indices. This asset mix is designed to meet the longer-term obligations of the plan as projected by actuarial studies.
 
The principal pension investment strategies include asset allocation and active asset management. The range of target asset allocations have been determined after giving consideration to the expected returns of each asset category, the expected performance of each asset category, the volatility of the asset returns over time and the complementary nature of the asset mix within the portfolio. Each asset category is managed by external money managers with the objective of generating returns that exceed market-based benchmarks.

Note 13.  Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
 
In June 2003 the Company issued 600 shares of Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series B preferred stock was classified outside the Stockholders’ Equity section because there was not absolute assurance that the number of authorized and un-issued common shares would be adequate to redeem the Series B preferred stock. In February 2006, the Company converted the 600 shares of Series B preferred stock into 2,671,415 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Note 15.  Stockholders’ Equity
 
The Company has a Stockholder’s Rights Plan. On March 11, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, $1.00 par value, to stockholders of record at the close of business on April 27, 1999. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth (1/100) of a share of Series A Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $200.00 per one one-hundredth (1/100) of a share, subject to adjustment. The rights are not exercisable or detachable from the common stock until ten business days after a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of fifteen-percent or more of the Company’s common stock or if a person or group commences a tender or exchange offer upon consummation of which that person or group would beneficially own fifteen-percent or more of the common stock. The Company will generally be entitled to redeem the rights at $0.01 per right at any time until the first public announcement that a fifteen-percent position has been acquired. If any person or group becomes a beneficial owner of fifteen-percent or more of the Company’s common stock, each right not owned by that person or related parties enables its holder to purchase, at the right’s purchase price, shares of the Company’s common stock having a calculated value of twice the purchase price of the right.
 
Note 16.  Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company’s 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“Plan”) authorized 2,500,000 shares of common stock plus (i) shares covered by forfeited, expired, and canceled options granted under prior plans; (ii) shares tendered as full or partial payment for the purchase price of an award or to satisfy tax withholding obligations; and (iii) shares covered by an award settled in cash. At December 31, 2006, a total of 2,872,136 shares were available for issuance. The plan provides for the granting of nonqualified and incentive stock options having maximum ten-year terms to purchase

common stock at its market value on the award date; stock appreciation rights based on common stock fair market values with settlement in common stock or cash; restricted stock; restricted stock units; and performance awards with settlement in common stock or cash on achievement of specific business objectives. Under previous plans, nonqualified and incentive stock options, restricted shares, and restricted stock units were granted at their fair market values. Options become exercisable in various percentages over periods ranging up to five years.
 
Stock Options
 
Effective with the adoption of SFAS 123R, expense related to stock options issued to eligible employees under the Plan is recognized over their vesting period on a straight line basis. Stock options generally vest over 5 years and have contractual terms of 10 years.

Note 17.  Net Income (Loss) Applicable to Common Shareholders
 
Basic net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) less dividend requirements on the Series B preferred stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be anti-dilutive, the calculation of diluted net income applicable to common shareholders includes the impact of shares that could be issued under outstanding stock options as well as common shares that would be issued at the conversion of the Series B preferred stock. In addition, the Series B preferred stock dividends are added back to income assuming the Series B preferred stock is converted into common stock. The number of anti-dilutive options for the year ended December 31, 2006 was not significant. The number of anti-dilutive options for the year ended December 31, 2005 was 0.9 million. The Series B preferred stock was anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2004, and therefore, not considered in the diluted net income (loss) per common share calculation.
 
The computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders follows:

Barge Litigation
 
At December 31, 2006, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Trinity Marine Products, Inc. (“TMP”), and certain material suppliers and others, were co-defendants in a lawsuit filed by Waxler Transportation, Inc. The plaintiff has petitioned the court for certification of a class which, if certified by the court, could significantly increase the total number of barges at issue. The current class representative owns four tank barges on which

Table of Contents

allegedly defective coatings were applied. These four barges were sold at an approximate average price of $1.4 million. Legal counsel for the Company and TMP have each advised that factual disputes exist regarding the legal merits of class certification. Discovery is underway in the case but no date has been set for a class certification hearing or trial. Independent experts investigating the claims for the Company have opined that the plaintiffs’ assertion the coating applied to the barges is a food source for microbiologically influenced corrosion is without merit. The Company and TMP are defending the Waxler case vigorously.
 
The Company has settled a separate action pursuant to which the Company and TMP filed for declaratory judgment to determine the Company’s and TMP’s obligation for coatings applied to 23 tank barges and TMP’s rights and remedies under an insurance policy applicable to the barges in which TMP was named as an additional insured. In such settlement, as well as a prior settlement involving the same policies on other barges, the Company and TMP obtained assignment of all claims for insurance coverage related to the applied coatings and is pursuing resolution of such claims.
 
Other Litigation
 
A subsidiary of the Company, Transit Mix Concrete and Materials Company, Inc. (“Transit Mix”), is named as a defendant in a case involving the death of an employee of an independent contractor who was working at a Transit Mix facility. Following a jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff, the presiding judge entered a final judgment that, together with fees, costs, and judgment interest, totaled $44.2 million. This case was appealed by Transit Mix and its insurers. In October 2006, the original trial court judgment was reversed and a take nothing judgment was rendered by the Eleventh Court of Appeals, State of Texas. Plaintiffs filed a motion for rehearing in such court, which was denied. As of January 31, 2007 plaintiffs had filed a motion with the Supreme Court of the State of Texas for an extension of time for filing an appeal.
 
On March 31, 2006, following the issuance of a “Presentment” by an investigating Grand Jury in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, the Company was charged in an eleven count Complaint with eight misdemeanors and three felony violations under Pennsylvania’s Solid Waste Management Act, 35 P.S. Secs. 6018.401(a) and 6018.610 (1), (2). (4), (6), and (9). The allegations relate to the Company’s former operations in Greenville, Pennsylvania and primarily stem from the movement of soil on the property in 1994 as part of an improvement project. The Company discontinued its Greenville operations in 2000. A Trinity employee was also named in a separate presentment alleging similar charges. In resolution of this matter, on December 21, 2006, a subsidiary of the Company, Trinity Industries Railcar Corporation, entered a plea of no contest to five counts of unlawful conduct and agreed to pay fines and costs totaling less than $310,000. Additionally, the Company entered into a Consent Order and Agreement with the Department of Environmental Protection for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to conduct an environmental investigation at the Company’s former Greenville sites and to remediate constituents discovered to the extent such constituents do not comply with applicable state regulation.
 
The Company is also involved in other claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. Based on information currently available, it is management’s opinion that the ultimate outcome of all current litigation and other claims, including settlements, in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s overall financial condition for purposes of financial reporting. However, resolution of certain claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have a significant impact on the operating results of the reporting period in which such resolution occurs.
 
The Company is subject to federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment and to the workplace. The Company believes that it is currently in substantial compliance with such laws and regulations.
 
The Company is involved in various proceedings relating to environmental matters. The Company has reserved $12.2 million to cover probable and estimable liabilities of the Company with respect to investigation, assessment, and remedial response to such matters, taking into account currently available information and the Company’s contractual rights to indemnification and other recourse to third parties. However, estimates of future remedial response costs are necessarily imprecise. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will not become involved in future environmental litigation or other proceedings or, if the Company were found to be responsible or liable in any such litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to the Company.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
 
The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that it is able to collect the information it is required to disclose in the reports it files with the SEC, and to process, summarize, and disclose this information within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. The Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining these procedures and, as required by the rules of the SEC, evaluate their effectiveness. Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures which took place as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers believe that these procedures are effective to ensure that the Company is able to collect, process, and disclose the information it is required to disclose in the reports it files with the SEC within the required time periods.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
 
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance, as opposed to absolute assurance, of achieving their internal control objectives.
 
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2006, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
 
Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, has been audited by Ernst & Young, LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who also audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Ernst & Young’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is included herein.

     The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.
     At each annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have properly been brought before the meeting. To be properly before the meeting, the business to be conducted must be specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting. In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to be properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have

3


 

given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the corporation not less than sixty days nor more than ninety days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the sixtieth day prior to such annual meeting or (ii) the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary of the corporation shall set forth as to each matter that the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of the stockholder proposing such business, (iii) the class and number of shares of the corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder and any material interest of such stockholder in such business and (v) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, a stockholder seeking to have a proposal included in the corporation’s proxy statement shall comply with the requirements of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including, but not limited to, Rule 14a-8 or its successor provision).
     Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2; provided,

4


 

however, that nothing in this Section 2 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any business properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.
     The Chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that the business sought to be so conducted was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.
     Section 3. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the chief executive officer or a majority of the Board of Directors.
     Section 4. Written or printed notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the President, the Secretary, or the officer or person calling the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.
     Section 5. Business transacted at any special meeting shall be confined to the purposes stated in the notice thereof.
     Section 6. The holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at meetings of stockholders except as otherwise provided by any applicable statute. If, however, a quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the presiding officer at the meeting or the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such

5


 

adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. In addition, the presiding officer at any meeting of stockholders shall have the power to adjourn the meeting at the request of the Board of Directors if the Board of Directors determines that adjournment is necessary or appropriate to enable stockholders to consider fully information which the Board of Directors determines has not been made sufficiently or timely available to stockholders or to otherwise exercise effectively their voting rights.
     Section 7. Except as provided in Section 2 hereof with respect to the election of the Board of Directors, at a meeting at which a quorum is present, the vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote shall be the act of the stockholders’ meeting, unless the vote of a greater number is required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation.
     Section 8. Each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders, except to the extent that the voting rights of the shares of any class are limited or denied by the Certificate of Incorporation.
     Section 9. At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder having the right to vote may vote either in person, or by proxy appointed by an instrument in writing as to a particular meeting and any adjournment or adjournments thereof subscribed by such stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. A proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and unless otherwise provided by law.
     Section 10. The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books shall make, at least ten (10) days before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address

6


 

of and number of shares held by each, which list, for a period of ten (10) days prior to such meeting, shall be kept on file at the registered office of the corporation, and shall be subject to inspection by any stockholder at any time during usual business hours. Such list shall also be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting, and shall be subject to the inspection of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting. The original stock transfer books shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine such list or transfer book or to vote at any such meeting of stockholders.
     Section 11. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision which may be contained in these Bylaws, in order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary, request the Board of Directors to fix a record date. The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within ten days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within ten days of the date upon which such a request is received, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or any officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which

7


 

proceedings of stockholders’ meeting are recorded, to the attention of the Secretary of the corporation. Delivery shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
ARTICLE III.
Directors
     Section 1. The number of directors of the corporation shall be nine (9). The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article, and each director elected shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified; provided, any director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, at any duly constituted meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of removing any such director or directors. Directors need not be residents of the State of Delaware or stockholders of the corporation.

In the event of the failure of the stockholders to fix the time and place of such first meeting of the newly elected Board of Directors, or in the event such meeting is not held at the time and place so fixed by the stockholders, the meeting may be held at such time and place as shall be specified in a notice given as hereinafter provided for special meetings of the Board of Directors, or as shall be specified in a written waiver signed by all of the directors.
     Section 6. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Secretary on the written request of two directors.

Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called upon twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to each director, or such shorter period of time as the person calling the meeting deems appropriate in the circumstances, either personally or by mail, telephone or telegram. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purposes of, any special meeting of the Board of Directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such special meeting.

     Section 8. A majority of the directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors, unless a greater number is required by the Certificate of Incorporation.

Vacancies in the membership of the committee shall be filled by the Board of Directors at a regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors. The executive committee shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report the same to the Board when required. The designation of such committee and the delegation thereto of authority shall not operate to relieve the Board of Directors, or any member thereof, of any responsibility imposed upon it or him by law.
ARTICLE IV.

     Section 1. Except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws, notices to directors and stockholders shall be in writing, and delivered personally or mailed to the directors or stockholders at their addresses appearing on the books of the corporation.

10


 

     Section 2. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any stockholder or director under the provisions of the statutes, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice.
     Section 3. Attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Any Division officer appointed by the chief executive officer may be removed by the chief executive officer whenever, in his judgment, the best interests of the corporation will be served thereby.

ARTICLE VI.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
     Section 1. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer or Division officer of the corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the corporation as a director, officer or Division officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against costs, charges, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the

15


 

best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
     Section 2. The corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer or Division officer of the corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the corporation as a director, officer or Division officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit and any appeal therefrom, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of such liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such costs, charges and expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
     Section 3. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article, to the extent that a director, officer or Division officer of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against all costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’

16


 

fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.
     Section 4. Any indemnification under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be paid by the corporation unless a determination is made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders, that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is not proper in the circumstances because he has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article.
     Section 5. Costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a person referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that the payment of such costs, charges and expenses incurred by a director, officer or Division officer in his capacity as a director, officer or Division officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director, officer or Division officer) in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer or Division officer to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that such director, officer or Division officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Article. The Board of Directors may, in the manner set forth above, and upon approval of such director, officer or Division officer of the corporation, authorize the corporation’s counsel to represent such person, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the corporation is a party to such action, suit or proceeding.

17


 

     Section 6. Any indemnification under Sections 1, 2 and 3, or advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 5 of this Article, shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days, upon the written request of the director, officer or Division officer. The right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article shall be enforceable by the director, officer or Division officer in any court of competent jurisdiction, if the corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or if no disposition thereof is made within 60 days. Such persons’ costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 5 of this Article where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
     Section 7. The indemnification and advancement of costs, charges and expenses provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of costs, charges and expenses may be entitled under any law

18


 

(common or statutory), agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office or while employed by or acting as agent for the corporation, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or Division officer as to actions taken while he was such a director, officer or Division officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors and administrators of such person. All rights to indemnification under this Article shall be deemed to be a contract between the corporation and each director, officer or Division officer of the corporation who serves or served in such capacity at any time while this Article is in effect. Any repeal or modification of this Article or any repeal or modification of relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other applicable laws shall not in any way diminish any rights to indemnification of such director, officer or Division officer or the obligations of the corporation arising hereunder.
     Section 8. In addition to the specific indemnification provided for herein, the corporation shall indemnify each person who is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer or Division officer of the corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the corporation as a director, officer or Division officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted (i) by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, or any other applicable law, or by any amendment thereof or other statutory provisions in effect on the date hereof, or (ii) by the corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the date hereof. The corporation shall also advance expenses to any of the foregoing individuals to the fullest extent authorized or permitted (i) by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, or any other applicable law, or by any amendment thereof or other statutory provision in effect on the date hereof, or (ii) by the corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation as in

19


 

effect on the date hereof.
     Section 9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer or Division officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer or Division officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him or on his behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article.
     Section 10. If this Article or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director, officer or Division officer of the corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.
ARTICLE VII.
Certificates for Shares
     Section 1. The corporation shall deliver certificates representing all shares to which stockholders are entitled; and such certificates shall be signed by the President or a Vice President, and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation, and may be sealed with the seal of the corporation or a facsimile thereof. No certificate shall be issued for any share until the consideration therefor has been fully paid. Each certificate representing shares shall state upon the face thereof that the corporation is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, the name of

20


 

the person to whom issued, the number and class and the designation of the series, if any, which such certificate represents, and the par value of each share represented by such certificate or a statement that the shares are without par value.
     Section 2. The signatures of the President or Vice President, and the Secretary or Assistant Secretary, upon a certificate may be facsimiles if the certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent, or registered by a registrar, other than the corporation itself or an employee of the corporation. In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer at the date of the issuance.
     Section 3. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.
     Section 4. Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction upon its books.
     Section 5. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at

21
