(1) 

Effective December 31, 2011, the Company adopted the emerging industry policy of recognizing revenue from the sales of railcars from the lease fleet on a gross basis in leasing revenues and cost of revenues if the railcar has been owned by the lease fleet for one year or less at the time of sale. Sales of railcars from the lease fleet which have been owned by the lease fleet for more than one year are recognized as a net gain or loss from the disposal of a long-term asset. Prior year reported balances have been reclassified to conform to this policy.

(2) 

Rent expense is a component of operating profit. Interest expense is not a component of operating profit and includes the effect of hedges. Intercompany interest expense arises from Trinity’s ownership of a portion of TRIP Holdings’ Senior Secured Notes and is eliminated in consolidation. See Note 9 Debt.

 

Equipment consists primarily of railcars leased by third parties. The Leasing Group purchases equipment manufactured predominantly by the Rail Group and enters into lease contracts with third parties with terms generally ranging between one and twenty years. The Leasing Group primarily enters into operating leases. Future contractual minimum rental revenues on leases are as follows:

Debt. The Leasing Group’s debt at March 31, 2012 consists of both recourse and non-recourse debt. As of March 31, 2012, Trinity’s wholly-owned subsidiaries included in the Leasing Group held equipment with a net book value of approximately $2,436.8 million that is pledged as collateral for Leasing Group debt held by those subsidiaries, including equipment with a net book value of $50.6 million securing capital lease obligations. The net book value of unpledged equipment at March 31, 2012 was $575.1 million. See Note 9 Debt regarding Leasing Group debt.

TRIP Holdings. Debt owed by TRIP Holdings and its subsidiaries is nonrecourse to Trinity and TILC and is secured solely by the consolidated assets of TRIP Holdings and the equity interests of TRIP Holdings. In July 2011, TRIP Holdings and its newly-formed subsidiary, TRIP Rail Master Funding LLC (“TRIP Master Funding”), issued $1,032.0 million in new debt and repaid all of the outstanding borrowings of the existing TRIP Warehouse Loan. TRIP Master Funding equipment with a net book value of $1,142.7 million, excluding deferred profit resulting from the sale of railcars to TRIP Master Funding, is pledged as collateral for the TRIP Master Funding debt. See Note 5 Investment in TRIP Holdings for a description of TRIP Holdings.

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 (“Trusts”). Each of the Trusts 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 Trust and therefore, the debt related to the Trust is not included as part of the consolidated financial statements. 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.

These Leasing Group subsidiaries had total assets as of March 31, 2012 of $214.6 million, including cash of $85.5 million and railcars of $96.5 million. The right, title, and interest in each sublease, cash, and railcars 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 contractual minimum rental revenues related to these leases due to the Leasing Group are as follows:

Future operating lease obligations of Trusts’ railcars

   $ 33.6     $ 45.6     $ 44.8     $ 43.1     $ 40.1     $ 341.3     $ 548.5

   $ 44.8     $ 44.2     $ 29.7     $ 22.2     $ 14.5     $ 26.1     $ 181.5  

Operating Lease Obligations. Future amounts due as well as future contractual minimum rental revenues related to operating leases other than leases with the Trusts are as follows:

 

                                                         
    Remaining
nine months
of 2012		     2013     2014     2015     2016     Thereafter     Total

Future operating lease obligations

   $ 6.5     $ 8.4     $ 8.3     $ 8.3     $ 8.1     $ 35.6     $ 75.2  

Future contractual minimum rental revenues

   $ 7.4     $ 9.1     $ 8.6     $ 5.1     $ 4.3     $ 7.6     $ 42.1  

Operating lease obligations totaling $29.2 million are guaranteed by Trinity Industries, Inc. and certain subsidiaries. See Note 5 of the December 31, 2011 Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Form 10-K for a detailed explanation of these financing transactions.
