Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The foregoing consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared from the books and records of Trinity Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Trinity,” “Company,” “we,” or “our”) including the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its partially-owned subsidiaries, TRIP Rail Holdings LLC (“TRIP Holdings”) and RIV 2013 Rail Holdings LLC ("RIV 2013"), in which the Company has a controlling interest. In our opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2018, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, have been made in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Because of seasonal and other factors, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 may not be indicative of expected results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2018. These interim financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Stockholders' Equity

In December 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $500 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019. Under the program, 1,519,503 shares were repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2018, at a cost of approximately $50.0 million leaving a remaining authorization of $450.0 million. Certain shares of stock repurchased during March 31, 2018, totaling $6.7 million, were cash settled in April 2018 in accordance with normal settlement practices. Under the Company's previous program that expired on December 31, 2017, no shares were repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured based on the allocation of the transaction price in a contract to satisfied performance obligations. The transaction price does not include any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following is a description of principle activities from which the Company generates its revenue, separated by reportable segments. Payments for our products and services are generally due within normal commercial terms. For a further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 4 Segment Information.

Rail Group

The Rail Group recognizes revenue when the customer has submitted its certificate of acceptance and legal title of the rail car has passed to the customer. Certain long-term contracts for the sales of railcars include price adjustments based on steel-price indices; this amount represents variable consideration for which we are constrained and we do not estimate these amounts prior to the time the railcar is delivered at which time the pricing becomes fixed.

Construction Products Group

The Construction Products Group recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.

Inland Barge Group

The Inland Barge Group recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.

Energy Equipment Group

Within the Energy Equipment Group, revenue is recognized for our wind tower and certain utility structure product lines over time as the products are manufactured using an input approach based on the costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs of production. We recognize revenue over time for these products as they are highly customized to the needs of an individual customer resulting in no alternative use to the Company if not purchased by the customer after the contract is executed, and we have the right to bill the customer for our work performed to date plus at least a reasonable profit margin for work performed. For all other products, revenue is recognized when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.

Table of Contents

Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group

Revenue from rentals and operating leases, including contracts that contain non-level fixed rental payments, is recognized monthly on a straight-line basis. Revenue is recognized 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 for one year or less at the time of sale. Sales of railcars from the lease fleet owned for more than one year are recognized as a net gain or loss from the disposal of a long-term asset. Revenue from servicing, maintenance, and management agreements is recognized as each performance period occurs.

Fees for shipping and handling are recorded as revenue. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling costs as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good. The fees and costs of shipping and handling activities are accrued if the related performance obligation has been satisfied.

Unsatisfied Performance Obligations

The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied as of March 31, 2018 and the percentage of the outstanding performance obligations as of March 31, 2018 expected to be delivered during the remainder of 2018:



	Unsatisfied performance obligations at March 31, 2018
	Total Amount		Percent expected to be delivered in 2018
	(in millions)
Rail Group:
Railcars:
External Customers	$	1,420.7
Leasing Group	719.6
	$	2,140.3	54	%
Components and maintenance services	$	63.8	100	%

Inland Barge Group	$	124.5	64	%

Energy Equipment Group:
Wind towers and utility structures	$	809.7	41	%
Other	$	42.9	100	%

Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group	$	127.1	15	%

The remainder of the unsatisfied performance obligations for the Rail Group are expected to be delivered from 2019-2021. The remainder of the unsatisfied performance obligations for wind towers and utility structures are expected to be delivered from 2019-2020. Unsatisfied performance obligations for the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group are related to servicing, maintenance, and management agreements and are expected to be performed from 2019-2027. Substantially all other unsatisfied performance obligations beyond 2018 are expected to be delivered during 2019.

Financial Instruments

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments to be either cash and cash equivalents if purchased with a maturity of three months or less, or short-term marketable securities if purchased with a maturity of more than three months and less than one year. The Company intends to hold its short-term marketable securities until they are redeemed at their maturity date and believes that under the "more likely than not" criteria, the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments including restricted cash, short-term marketable securities, and receivables. The Company places its cash investments and short-term marketable securities 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 that 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. As receivables are generally unsecured, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectibility of all receivables. Receivable balances determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. The carrying values of cash, short-term marketable securities (using level two inputs), receivables, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.

Table of Contents

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash and cash equivalents held either as collateral for the Company's non-recourse debt and lease obligations or as security for the performance of certain product sales agreements. As such, they are restricted in use.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," ("ASU 2014-09") which provides common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under ASU 2014-09, an entity recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. It also requires additional detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The Company applied ASU 2014-09 to all contracts that were not complete as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method of adoption, resulting in a reduction to retained earnings of $4.0 million, net of tax, as of January 1, 2018 related to the cumulative effect of applying this standard. Therefore, the comparative information for the three months ended March 31, 2017 has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC Topic 605.

The primary impact of adopting the standard is a change in the timing of revenue recognition for our wind towers and certain utility structures product lines within our Energy Equipment Group. Previously, the Company recognized revenue when the product was delivered. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue is recognized over time as the products are manufactured. Revenue recognition policies in our other business segments remain substantially unchanged.

The following tables summarize the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2018 and for the three months then ended:

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, "Leases", ("ASU 2016-02") which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will become effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019. We are continuing to assess the potential effects of the new standard, including its effects on our consolidated financial statements and the accounting for revenue from full service leases.

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, "Restricted Cash", ("ASU 2016-18") which clarifies how entities should present restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The new guidance requires a reconciliation of totals in the statement of cash flows to the related cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash captions in the balance sheet. ASU 2016-18 became effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2018. Amounts previously reported have been adjusted to reflect this change.

In March 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”, (“ASU 2017-07”) which changes how companies that sponsor defined benefit pension plans present the related net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. The service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost will continue to be presented in the same income statement line items, however other components of the net periodic benefit cost will be presented as a component of other income and excluded from operating profit. ASU 2017-07 became effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-07 effective January 1, 2018. Amounts previously reported have been adjusted to reflect this change.

In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, (“ASU 2018-02”) which gives entities the option to reclassify from AOCL to retained earnings the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted on December 22, 2017. ASU 2018-02 will become effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2018-02 as of January 1, 2018 resulting in a reclassification adjustment from AOCL, increasing retained earnings by $18.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the 2018 presentation.

Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures

In March 2018, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of an inland barge business which was recorded, as of March 31, 2018 as a business combination, based on preliminary valuations of the acquired assets and liabilities at their acquisition date fair value using level three inputs. Such assets and liabilities were not significant in relation to assets and liabilities at the consolidated or segment level. See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting for a discussion of inputs in determining fair value.

There was no acquisition or divestiture activity for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Note 3. Fair Value Accounting

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to establish a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are listed below:

Level 1 – This level is defined as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents and restricted cash are instruments of the U.S. Treasury or highly-rated money market mutual funds.

Level 2 – This level is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company's fuel derivative instruments, which are commodity swaps, are valued using energy and commodity market data. Interest rate hedges are valued at exit prices obtained from each counterparty. See Note 7 Derivative Instruments and Note 11 Debt. The equity instruments consist of warrants for the purchase of certain publicly-traded equity securities and are valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model and certain assumptions regarding the exercisability of the options under the related agreement.

Level 3 – This level is defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The estimated fair values of our senior notes and convertible subordinated notes were based on a quoted market price in a market with little activity as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (Level 2 input). The estimated fair values of our 2006, 2009, 2010, and 2012 secured railcar equipment notes and TRIP Rail Master Funding LLC (“TRIP Master Funding”) secured railcar equipment notes are based on our estimate of their fair value as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 using unobservable input values provided by a third party (Level 3 inputs). The carrying value of our Trinity Industries Leasing Company (“TILC”) warehouse facility and 2017 promissory notes approximate fair value because the interest rate adjusts to the market interest rate (Level 3 input). The fair values of all other financial instruments are estimated to approximate carrying value. See Note 11 Debt for a description of the Company's long-term debt.

Note 4. Segment Information

The Company reports operating results in five principal business segments: (1) the Rail Group, which manufactures and sells railcars and related parts, components, and maintenance services; (2) the Construction Products Group, which manufactures and sells highway products and trench shields and shoring products and services for infrastructure-related projects, and produces and sells construction aggregates; (3) the Inland Barge Group, which manufactures and sells barges and related products for inland waterway services; (4) the Energy Equipment Group, which manufactures and sells products for energy-related businesses, including structural wind towers, steel utility structures for electricity transmission and distribution, storage and distribution containers, and tank heads for pressure and non-pressure vessels; and (5) the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group (“Leasing Group”), which owns and operates a fleet of railcars as well as provides third-party fleet leasing, management, maintenance, and administrative services. The segment All Other includes our captive insurance and transportation companies; legal, environmental, and maintenance costs associated with non-operating facilities; and other peripheral businesses. Gains and losses from the sale of property, plant, and equipment related to manufacturing and dedicated to the specific manufacturing operations of a particular segment are included in the operating profit of that respective segment. Gains and losses from the sale of property, plant, and equipment that can be utilized by multiple segments are included in operating profit of the All Other segment.

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

The financial information for these segments is shown in the tables below. We operate principally in North America.

Note 5. Partially-Owned Leasing Subsidiaries

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TILC, formed two subsidiaries, TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013, for the purpose of providing railcar leasing in North America. Each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 are direct, partially-owned subsidiaries of TILC in which the Company has a controlling interest. Each is governed by a seven-member board of representatives, two of whom are designated by TILC. TILC is the agent of each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 and as such, has been delegated the authority, power, and discretion to take certain actions on behalf of the respective companies.

At March 31, 2018, the Company's carrying value of its investment in TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 totaled $191.7 million. The Company's weighted average ownership interest in TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 is 38% while the remaining 62% weighted average interest is owned by third-party investor-owned funds. The Company's investments in its partially-owned leasing subsidiaries are eliminated in consolidation.

Each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 has wholly-owned subsidiaries that are the owners of railcars acquired from the Company's Rail and Leasing Groups. These wholly-owned subsidiaries are TRIP Master Funding (wholly-owned by TRIP Holdings) and Trinity Rail Leasing 2012 LLC ("TRL 2012," wholly-owned by RIV 2013). Railcar purchases by these subsidiaries were funded by secured borrowings and capital contributions from TILC and third-party equity investors. TILC is the contractual servicer for TRIP Master Funding and TRL 2012, with the authority to manage and service each entity's owned railcars. The Company's controlling interest in each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 results from its combined role as both equity member and agent/servicer. The noncontrolling interest included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets represents the non-Trinity equity interest in these partially-owned subsidiaries.

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

The assets of each of TRIP Master Funding and TRL 2012 may only be used to satisfy the particular subsidiary's liabilities, and the creditors of each of TRIP Master Funding and TRL 2012 have recourse only to the particular subsidiary's assets. Each of TILC and the third-party equity investors receive distributions from TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013, when available, in proportion to its respective equity interests, and has an interest in the net assets of the partially-owned subsidiaries upon a liquidation event in the same proportion. TILC is paid fees for the services it provides to TRIP Master Funding and TRL 2012 and has the potential to earn certain incentive fees. TILC and the third-party equity investors have commitments to provide additional equity funding to TRIP Holdings that expire in May 2019 contingent upon certain returns on investment in TRIP Holdings and other conditions being met. There are no remaining equity commitments with respect to RIV 2013.

See Note 11 Debt regarding the debt of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 and their respective subsidiaries.

Debt. Wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Leasing Group’s debt at March 31, 2018 consisted primarily of non-recourse debt. As of March 31, 2018, Trinity’s wholly-owned subsidiaries included in the Leasing Group held equipment with a net book value of $1,735.5 million which is pledged as collateral for Leasing Group debt held by those subsidiaries, including equipment with a net book value of $40.4 million securing capital lease obligations. The net book value of unpledged equipment at March 31, 2018 was $2,627.8 million. See Note 11 Debt for the form, maturities, and descriptions of Leasing Group debt.

Table of Contents

Partially-owned subsidiaries. Debt owed by TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 and their respective subsidiaries is nonrecourse to Trinity and TILC. Creditors of each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 and their respective subsidiaries have recourse only to the particular subsidiary's assets. TRIP Master Funding equipment with a net book value of $1,273.4 million is pledged as collateral for the TRIP Master Funding debt. TRL 2012 equipment with a net book value of $549.4 million is pledged solely as collateral for the TRL 2012 secured railcar equipment notes. See Note 5 Partially-Owned Leasing Subsidiaries for a description of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013.

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 each of the respective Trusts is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the Trust and therefore, the accounts of the Trusts, including the debt related to each of the Trusts, are not included as part of the consolidated financial statements. The Leasing Group, through 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 the remaining Trusts, the Leasing Group has the option to purchase, at a predetermined fixed price, certain railcars from the remaining Trusts in 2019. In January 2018, the Leasing Group provided the Trusts with an irrevocable twelve-month notice of intent to exercise their option to purchase all of the Trusts' railcars for $223.6 million.

These Leasing Group subsidiaries had total assets as of March 31, 2018 of $138.0 million, including cash of $48.0 million and railcars of $62.9 million. The subsidiaries' cash, railcars, and an interest in each sublease 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:



	Remaining nine months of 2018		2019		2020		2021		2022		Thereafter		Total

Future contractual minimum rental revenues of Trusts’ railcars	$	30.8	$	28.8	$	18.7	$	13.1	$	8.9	$	7.7	$	108.0

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

Note 7. Derivative Instruments

We may use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, both in anticipation of future debt issuances and to offset interest rate variability of certain floating rate debt issuances outstanding. We also may use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in natural gas and diesel fuel prices and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting standards. See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting for discussion of how the Company valued its commodity hedges and interest rate swap at March 31, 2018. See Note 11 Debt for a description of the Company's debt instruments.

During 2005 and 2006, we entered into interest rate swap derivatives in anticipation of issuing our 2006 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes. These derivative instruments, with a notional amount of $200.0 million, were settled in 2006 and fixed the interest rate on a portion of the related debt issuance. These derivative instrument transactions are being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $4.5 million in income recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCL") through the date the related debt issuance closed in 2006. The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance.

Between 2007 and 2009, TRIP Holdings, as required by the TRIP Warehouse Loan, entered into interest rate swap derivatives, all of which qualified as cash flow hedges, to reduce the effect of changes in variable interest rates in the TRIP Warehouse Loan. In July 2011, these interest rate hedges were terminated in connection with the refinancing of the TRIP Warehouse Loan. Balances included in AOCL at the date the hedges were terminated are being amortized over the life of the terminated hedge with $2.0 million of additional interest expense expected to be recognized during the twelve months following March 31, 2018.

In July 2011, TRIP Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiary, TRIP Master Funding, entered into an interest rate swap derivative instrument, expiring in 2021, with an initial notional amount of $94.1 million to reduce the effect of changes in variable interest rates associated with the Class A-1b notes of the TRIP Master Funding secured railcar equipment notes. The TRIP Master Funding interest rate hedge was terminated in August 2017 in connection with the refinancing of the related indebtedness. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance. The balance included in AOCL at the date the hedge was terminated is being amortized over the life of the terminated hedge with $0.2 million of additional interest expense expected to be recognized during the twelve months following March 31, 2018.

In May 2017, TRL 2017 purchased an interest rate cap derivative, which qualified as a cash flow hedge, to limit the Libor component of the interest rate on the 2017 promissory notes to a maximum rate of 3%. The effect on interest expense is primarily the result of amortization of the cost of the derivative and is not expected to be significant during the next twelve months.

See Note 11 Debt regarding the related debt instruments.

Other Derivatives

Natural gas and diesel fuel

We maintain a program to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the price of natural gas and diesel fuel. For those instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, any changes in their valuation are recorded directly to the consolidated statement of operations. The effect on operating income for these instruments was not significant. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018 for these instruments was not significant.

We have a $600.0 million unsecured corporate revolving credit facility that matures in May 2020. As of March 31, 2018, we had letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $78.8 million, leaving $521.2 million available for borrowing. Other than these letters of credit, there were no borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2018, or during the three month period then ended. Of the outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2018, approximately $78.0 million is expected to expire in 2018 and the remainder in 2019. The majority of our letters of credit obligations support the Company’s various insurance programs and generally renew by their terms each year. Trinity’s revolving credit facility requires the maintenance of ratios related to minimum interest coverage for the leasing and manufacturing operations and maximum leverage. As of March 31, 2018, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin and are guaranteed by certain 100%-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Table of Contents

The Company's Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”) bear an interest rate of 3 7/8% per annum on the principal amount payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. In addition, commencing with the six-month period beginning June 1, 2018 and for each six-month period thereafter, we will pay contingent interest to the holders of the Notes under certain circumstances. The Notes mature on June 1, 2036, unless redeemed, repurchased, or converted earlier. We may not redeem the Notes before June 1, 2018. On or after that date, we may redeem all or part of the Notes for cash at 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including any contingent interest) up to, but excluding, the redemption date. Holders of the Notes may require us to purchase all or a portion of their notes on June 1, 2018 or upon a fundamental change, in each case for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including any contingent interest) up to, but excluding, the purchase date.

The Notes are recorded net of unamortized discount to reflect their underlying economics by capturing the value of the conversion option as borrowing costs. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, capital in excess of par value included $92.5 million related to the estimated value of the Notes’ conversion options, in accordance with ASC 470-20. Debt discount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet is being amortized through June 1, 2018 to yield an effective annual interest rate of 8.42% based upon the estimated market interest rate for comparable non-convertible debt as of the issuance date of the Notes. Total interest expense recognized on the Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018		2017
	(in millions)
Coupon rate interest	$	4.4	$	4.4
Amortized debt discount	4.9		4.5
	$	9.3	$	8.9

Holders of the Notes may convert their notes under the following circumstances: 1) if the daily closing price of our common stock is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price during 20 of the last 30 trading days of the preceding calendar quarter; 2) upon notice of redemption; or 3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions pursuant to the terms of the applicable indenture. Upon conversion, the Company is required to pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted. Any conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted may be settled in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election. The conversion price, which is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, was $24.21 per share as of March 31, 2018. The Notes were subject to conversion as of April 1, 2018.

On April 23, 2018, the Company gave notice of its election to redeem all of the outstanding Notes on June 1, 2018 pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing the Notes. The outstanding Notes will be redeemed for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, June 1, 2018. As of April 23, 2018, there were approximately $449.4 million aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding.

In addition, the Company notified the trustee, pursuant to the Indenture governing the Notes, that the Notes became convertible as a result of the Company’s election to redeem the Notes. Subject to the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, holders may convert their Notes at any time until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 30, 2018. The current conversion rate of the Notes is 41.439 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. Upon conversion, the Company will deliver to the holders in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted a “settlement amount,” as defined in the Indenture governing the Notes, equal to the sum of the daily settlement amounts for each of the 20 consecutive trading days of the cash settlement averaging period. Although the Company has the option to make the conversion payments in cash and shares of the Company’s common stock (or cash in lieu of some or all of the shares of common stock), the Company intends to make the entire conversion payment with respect to all Notes converted solely in cash.

See Note 17 Earnings Per Common Share for an explanation of the effects of the Convertible Subordinated Notes on earnings per share. The Company has not entered into any derivatives transactions associated with these notes.

The TILC warehouse loan facility, established to finance railcars owned by TILC, had $154.5 million in outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2018. In March 2018, the facility, previously totaling $1.0 billion, was extended through March 2021 at a reduced amount of $750.0 million at the Company's election. Under the renewed facility, the entire unused facility amount of $595.5 million was available as of March 31, 2018 based on the amount of warehouse-eligible, unpledged equipment. The warehouse loan facility is a non-recourse obligation and is secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases, certain cash reserves, and other assets acquired and owned by the warehouse loan facility trust. The principal and interest of this indebtedness are paid from the cash flows of the underlying leases. Advances under the renewed facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin, for an all-in interest rate of 3.57% at March 31, 2018. Amounts outstanding at maturity, absent renewal, are payable under the renewed facility in March 2022.

See Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Other for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 includes $0.3 million in expense and $0.4 million in income, respectively, related to the change in fair value of certain equity instruments.

Note 13. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes results in effective tax rates that differ from the statutory rates. The following is a reconciliation between the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate and the Company’s effective income tax rate on income before income taxes:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018		2017
Statutory rate	21.0	%	35.0	%
State taxes	1.8		1.4
Noncontrolling interest in partially-owned subsidiaries	—		(0.4	)
Changes in valuation allowance and reserves	3.2		0.2
Settlements with tax authorities	—		(8.0	)
Other, net	0.2		0.5
Effective rate	26.2	%	28.7	%

Table of Contents

Our effective tax rate reflects the Company's estimate for its state income tax expense, income attributable to the noncontrolling interests in partially-owned leasing subsidiaries for which no income tax expense is provided, and the impact of the completion of income tax audits that resulted in a net tax benefit. See Note 5 Partially-Owned Leasing Subsidiaries for a further explanation of activities with respect to our partially-owned leasing subsidiaries.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. In December 2017, we recorded a tax benefit after the initial assessment of the tax effects of the Act, and we will continue refining this amount throughout 2018. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, we adjusted our initial assessment of the tax effects of the Act to record an additional benefit related to the transition tax. We are still analyzing certain aspects of the Act and refining our calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of our deferred tax balance or give rise to new deferred tax amounts in future periods of 2018.The impact of the Act may differ from our estimate due to changes in the regulations, rulings, guidance, and interpretations issued by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and the FASB as well as interpretations and assumptions made by the Company. For the items for which we were able to determine a reasonable estimate, we recognized an additional provisional net benefit of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which is included as a component of income tax expense. The calculation of our estimated annual effective tax rate includes the estimated impact of provisions of the Tax Act, such as interest limitations, and foreign limitations or inclusions. These estimates could change as additional information becomes available on these provisions of the Tax Act.

Taxing authority examinations

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the IRS formally closed its audit of the 2006-2009 tax years, and the 2013 tax year.The unrecognized tax benefits and deferred tax amounts related to these tax years were adjusted resulting in a $5.8 million tax benefit. The 2014-2016 tax years have been reviewed by the IRS with no significant adjustments. The 2014-2017 tax years remain open.

We have various subsidiaries in Mexico that file separate tax returns and are subject to examination by taxing authorities at different times. The entities are generally open for their 2010 tax years and forward.

Unrecognized tax benefits

The change in unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018		2017
	(in millions)
Beginning balance	$	8.2	$	28.2
Additions for tax positions of prior years	1.6		0.1
Settlements	—		(23.3		)
Ending balance	$	9.8	$	5.0

Additions for tax positions related to prior years of $1.6 million and $0.1 million recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, are due to a state filing position. Settlements during the three months ended March 31, 2017 were due to the resolution of our 2006-2009 income tax years.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits including interest and penalties at March 31, 2018 and 2017, that would affect the Company’s overall effective tax rate if recognized was $11.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively. There is a reasonable possibility that unrecognized federal and state tax benefits will decrease by $5.2 million by March 31, 2019, due to settlements and lapses in statutes of limitations for assessing tax for tax years in which an extension was not requested by the taxing authority.

Trinity accounts for interest expense and penalties related to income tax issues as income tax expense. Accordingly, interest expense and penalties associated with an uncertain tax position are included in the income tax provision. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $4.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively. Income tax expense included an increase of $0.2 million and a decrease of $5.4 million in interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively.

Contributions to the Company's defined benefit pension plans for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were not significant. Total contributions to the Company's defined benefit pension plans in 2018 are expected to be approximately $18.4 million. The Company participates in a multiemployer defined benefit plan under the terms of a collective-bargaining agreement that covers certain union-represented employees. The Company contributed $0.6 million and $0.6 million to the multiemployer plan for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Total contributions to the multiemployer plan for 2018 are expected to be approximately $2.5 million.

See Note 7 Derivative Instruments for information on the reclassification of amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings. Reclassifications of unrealized before-tax losses on derivative financial instruments are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Approximately $0.8 million of the before-tax reclassification of net actuarial gains/(losses) of defined benefit plans are included in cost of revenues with the remainder included in selling, engineering, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Note 16. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation totaled approximately $8.3 million and $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Note 17. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic net income attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Trinity remaining after allocation to unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be antidilutive, the calculation of diluted net income attributable to Trinity per common share includes 1) the net impact of unvested restricted shares and shares that could be issued under outstanding stock options and 2) the incremental shares calculated by dividing the value of the conversion obligation in excess of the Convertible Subordinated Notes' aggregate principal amount by the average price of the Company's common stock during the period. See Note 11 Debt for further explanation of the Company's Convertible Subordinated Notes. Total weighted average restricted shares and antidilutive stock options were 6.2 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The computation of basic and diluted net income attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. follows.

Note 18. Contingencies

Highway products litigation

We previously reported the filing of a False Claims Act (“FCA”) complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division (“District Court”) styled Joshua Harman, on behalf of the United States of America, Plaintiff/Relator v. Trinity Industries, Inc., Defendant, Case No. 2:12-cv-00089-JRG (E.D. Tex.). In this case, in which the U.S. Government declined to intervene, the relator, Mr. Joshua Harman, alleged the Company violated the FCA pertaining to sales of the Company's ET-Plus® System, a highway guardrail end-terminal system (“ET Plus”). On October 20, 2014, a trial in this case concluded with a jury verdict stating that the Company and its subsidiary, Trinity Highway Products, LLC (“Trinity Highway Products”), “knowingly made, used or caused to be made or used, a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim" and awarding $175.0 million in damages. On June 9, 2015 the District Court entered judgment on the verdict in the total amount of $682.4 million, comprised of $175.0 million in damages, which amount is automatically trebled under the FCA to $525.0 million plus $138.4 million in civil penalties and $19.0 million in costs and attorneys' fees.

On September 29, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ("Fifth Circuit") reversed the District Court’s $682.4 million judgment and rendered judgment as a matter of law in favor of the Company and Trinity Highway Products. On October 27, 2017, Mr. Harman filed a Petition for Rehearing En Banc in the Fifth Circuit, which was denied by the Fifth Circuit on November 14, 2017. On February 12, 2018, the relator, Mr. Joshua Harman, filed a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court, seeking a review of the Fifth Circuit's decision. Mr. Harman's petition for certiorari remains pending.

Further appellate review would continue to result in legal expenses that are expensed as incurred. We remain confident in the performance of the product at issue in this matter, and we maintain that the allegations in the case are baseless and without merit.

Based on information currently available to the Company and previously disclosed, including, but not limited to the significance of the successful completion of eight post-verdict crash tests of the ET Plus in 2015, the favorable findings and conclusions published in 2015 by two joint task forces of the Federal Highway Administration and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials regarding the ET Plus end terminal system, the Fifth Circuit's unanimous panel opinion reversing the $682.4 million judgment and rendering judgment in favor of the Company, and the Fifth Circuit's subsequent denial of Mr. Harman's Petition for Rehearing En Banc, we do not believe that a loss is probable in this matter, therefore no accrual has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Joshua M. Harman Qui Tam v. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC, Case No. 1484-CV-02364, in the Superior Court Department of the Trial Court). In each of these twelve cases, Mr. Harman is alleging the Company violated the respective states' false claims act pertaining to sales of the ET Plus, and he is seeking damages, civil penalties, attorneys’ fees, costs and interest. Also, the respective states’ Attorneys General filed Notices of Election to Decline Intervention in all of these matters, with the exception of the Commonwealth of Virginia Attorney General who intervened in the Virginia matter. At this time all of the above-referenced state qui tam cases are stayed.

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

The Company was served in a lawsuit filed February 11, 2015, titled The Corporation of the City of Stratford and Trinity Industries, Inc., Trinity Highway Products, LLC, and Trinity Industries Canada, Inc., Case No. 15-2622 CP, pending in Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The alleged class in this matter was identified as persons in Canada who purchased and/or used an ET Plus guardrail end terminal. The plaintiff alleged that Trinity Industries, Inc., Trinity Highway Products, LLC, and Trinity Industries Canada, Inc., failed to warn of dangers associated with undisclosed modifications to the ET Plus guardrail end terminals, breached an implied warranty, breached a duty of care, and were negligent. The plaintiff was seeking $400 million in compensatory damages and $100 million in punitive damages. Alternatively, the plaintiff claimed the right to an accounting or other restitution remedy for disgorgement of the revenues generated by the sale of the modified ET Plus in Canada. On February 22, 2018, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, without having certified a class, and approved a settlement of the suit for a non-material settlement amount.

The Company has been served in a lawsuit filed November 5, 2015, titled Jackson County, Missouri, individually and on behalf of a class of others similarly situated vs. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC, Case No. 1516-CV23684 (Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri). The case is being brought by plaintiff for and on behalf of itself and all Missouri counties with a population of 10,000 or more persons, including the City of St. Louis, and the State of Missouri’s transportation authority. The plaintiff alleges that the Company and Trinity Highway Products did not disclose design changes to the ET Plus and these allegedly undisclosed design changes made the ET Plus allegedly defective, unsafe, and unreasonably dangerous. The plaintiff alleges product liability negligence, product liability strict liability, and negligently supplying dangerous instrumentality for supplier’s business purposes. The plaintiff seeks compensatory damages, interest, attorneys' fees and costs, and in the alternative plaintiff seeks a declaratory judgment that the ET Plus is defective, the Company’s conduct was unlawful, and class-wide costs and expenses associated with removing and replacing the ET Plus throughout Missouri. On December 6, 2017, the Court granted plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification, certifying a class of Missouri counties with populations of 10,000 or more persons, including the City of St. Louis and the State of Missouri's transportation authority that have or had ET Plus guardrail end terminals with 4-inch wide guide channels installed on roadways they own or maintain. On December 18, 2017, the Company and Trinity Highway Products filed a petition for permission to appeal the Order of Class Certification in the Missouri Court of Appeals for the Western District. On December 20, 2017, the Court of Jackson County, Missouri stayed the underlying matter pending final resolution of the appeal. On March 6, 2018, the Missouri Court of Appeals denied Trinity's petition for permission to appeal the

Order of Class Certification. On March 15, 2018, the Company and Trinity Highway Products filed a Petition for Writ of Prohibition with the Missouri Supreme Court, seeking review of the Order of Class Certification.

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

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

Product liability cases

The Company is currently defending a number of product liability lawsuits in several different states that are alleged to involve the ET Plus as well as other products manufactured by Trinity Highway Products. These cases are diverse in light of the randomness of collisions in general and the fact that each accident involving a roadside device such as an end terminal, or any other fixed object along the highway has its own unique facts and circumstances. As previously disclosed, Report 350 recognizes that performance of even the most carefully researched and tested roadside device is subject to physical laws and the crash worthiness of vehicles. The Company believes the District Court judgment in the FCA case, coupled with the media attention such judgment generated, caused the plaintiff’s bar to seek out individuals involved in collisions with a Trinity Highway Products manufactured product as potential clients, which resulted in additional product liability lawsuits being filed against the Company. The Company carries general liability insurance to mitigate the impact of adverse judgment exposures in these product liability cases. To the extent that the Company believes that a loss is probable with respect to these product liability cases, the accrual for such losses is included in the amounts described below under "Other matters".

Shareholder class actions

On January 11, 2016, the previously reported cases styled Thomas Nemky, Individually and On Behalf of All Other Similarly Situated v. Trinity Industries, Inc., Timothy R. Wallace, and James E. Perry, Case No. (2:15-CV-00732) (“Nemky”) and Richard J. Isolde, Individually and On Behalf of All Other Similarly Situated v. Trinity Industries, Inc., Timothy R. Wallace, and James E. Perry, Case No. (3:15-CV-2093) ("Isolde"), were consolidated in the District Court for the Northern District of Texas, with all future filings to be filed in the Isolde case. On March 9, 2016, the Court appointed the Department of the Treasury of the State of New Jersey and its Division of Investment and the Plumbers and Pipefitters National Pension Fund and United Association Local Union Officers & Employees’ Pension Fund as co-lead plaintiffs ("Lead Plaintiffs). On May 11, 2016, the Lead Plaintiffs filed their Consolidated Complaint alleging defendants Trinity Industries, Inc., Timothy R. Wallace, James E. Perry, and Gregory B. Mitchell violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and defendants Mr. Wallace and Mr. Perry violated Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by making materially false and misleading statements and/or by failing to disclose material facts about Trinity's ET Plus and the FCA case styled Joshua Harman, on behalf of the United States of America, Plaintiff/Relator v. Trinity Industries, Inc., Defendant, Case No. 2:12-cv-00089-JRG (E.D. Tex.). On August 18, 2016, Trinity, Mr. Wallace, Mr. Perry, and Mr. Mitchell filed motions to dismiss Lead Plaintiffs Consolidated Complaint, which remain pending. On March 13, 2017, the Court granted defendant’s motion to stay and administratively close proceedings pending Fifth Circuit appeal. The Isolde matter is stayed and remains administratively closed pending the conclusion of the appeal in the Joshua Harman FCA case.

Trinity, Mr. Wallace, Mr. Perry, and Mr. Mitchell deny and intend to vigorously defend against the allegations in the Isolde case. Based on the information available to the Company, we currently do not believe that a loss is probable with respect to this shareholder class action; therefore no accrual has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Because of the complexity of these actions as well as the current status of certain of these actions, we are not able to estimate a range of possible losses with respect to these matters.

Stockholder books and records requests

The Company has received multiple requests from stockholders pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law to review certain of the Company's books and records related to the ET Plus and the FCA case styled Joshua Harman, on behalf of the United States of America, Plaintiff/Relator v. Trinity Industries, Inc., Defendant, Case No. 2:12-cv-00089-JRG (E.D. Tex.). The stockholders' stated purpose for seeking access to the Company's books and records is to investigate the possibility of whether the directors or officers of the Company committed breaches of fiduciary duty or other wrongdoing. In accordance with the Company's obligations under the Delaware law when such requests are properly filed, the Company has provided books and records to some of those stockholders.

Other matters

The Company is involved in claims and lawsuits incidental to our business arising from various matters including product warranty, personal injury, environmental issues, workplace laws, and various governmental regulations. The Company evaluates its exposure to such claims and suits periodically and establishes accruals for these contingencies when a range of loss can be

Table of Contents

reasonably estimated. The range of reasonably possible losses for such matters, taking into consideration our rights in indemnity and recourse to third parties is $6.3 million to $29.2 million. This range includes any amount related to the Highway Products litigation matters described above in the section titled “Product liability cases.” At March 31, 2018, total accruals of $21.3 million, including environmental and workplace matters described below, are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company believes any additional liability would not be material to its financial position or results of operations.

Trinity is subject to remedial orders and federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment and the workplace. The Company has reserved $3.1 million to cover our probable and estimable liabilities with respect to the investigations, assessments, and remedial responses to such matters, taking into account currently available information and our contractual rights to indemnification and recourse to third parties. However, estimates of liability arising from future proceedings, assessments, or remediation are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings involving the environment and the workplace or, if we are found to be responsible or liable in any such litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to the Company. We believe that we are currently in substantial compliance with environmental and workplace laws and regulations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide management's perspective on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our MD&A is presented in the following sections:

•Executive Summary

•Results of Operations

•Liquidity and Capital Resources

•Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

•Recent Accounting Pronouncements

•Forward-Looking Statements

Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Trinity Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries ("Trinity," "Company," "we," and "our") and related Notes in Part I, Item 1 of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2017.

Executive Summary

The Company's revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $831.3 million representing a decrease of 5.2% compared to the same period in 2017. Operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 totaled $98.6 million representing a decrease of 14.9% for the same period in 2017. The decrease in both revenues and operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018, when compared to the prior year period, resulted primarily from lower barge deliveries in our Inland Barge Group and lower wind tower shipments in our Energy Equipment Group. Revenues and operating profit in our Rail Group increased for the three months ended March 31, 2018, when compared to the prior year period, as a result of higher railcar deliveries. When compared to the same period in 2017, revenues and operating profit in our Construction Products Group increased for the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to higher volumes in our construction aggregates business in addition to higher revenues resulting from an acquisition. Revenues and operating profit from the Leasing Group decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2018, when compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower average rental rates and utilization and higher fleet maintenance and compliance expenses. Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses, including transaction costs related to the Company's proposed spin-off totaling $7.9 million, were substantially unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2018 when compared to the prior year period. The effect of the required adoption of new revenue accounting rules effective January 1, 2018 was to decrease revenues and operating profit by $18.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $41.6 million compared with $51.7 million for the same period in 2017. Net income attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $40.2 million compared with $46.0 million for the prior year period.

Our Rail, Inland Barge, and Leasing Groups and our structural wind towers, utility structures, and storage and distribution containers businesses operate in cyclical industries. Additionally, results in our Construction Products Group are affected by seasonal fluctuations with the second and third quarters historically being the quarters with the highest revenues. Due to their transactional nature, railcar sales from the lease fleet are the primary driver of fluctuations in results in the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group.

As of March 31, 2018 and 2017 our unsatisfied performance obligations, or backlog, with respect to railcars in our Rail Group, barges in our Inland Barge Group and wind towers and utility structures in our Energy Equipment Group were as follows:



	March 31, 2018		March 31, 2017
	(in millions)
Rail Group (railcars)
External Customers	$	1,420.7	$	1,986.9

Inland Barge Group	$	124.5	$	109.9
Wind towers and utility structures	$	809.7	$	1,201.8

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, our rail manufacturing businesses received orders for 4,705 railcars. The change in unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2018 compared with March 31, 2017 reflects the value of orders taken, net of cancellations, executory contract change orders and price modifications, and orders delivered during the period. The orders included in unsatisfied performance obligations from the Leasing Group are fully supported by lease commitments with external customers. The final amount dedicated to the Leasing Group may vary by the time of delivery as customers may alternatively choose to purchase railcars as external sales from the Rail Group. Approximately 54% of unsatisfied performance obligations for railcars in the Rail Group are expected to be delivered during the year ending December 31, 2018 with the remainder expected to be delivered from 2019-2021. Approximately 64% of unsatisfied performance obligations for barges in the Inland Barge Group are expected to be delivered during the year ending December 31, 2018 with the remainder expected to be delivered in 2019. Approximately 41% of unsatisfied performance obligations for wind towers and utility structures are expected to be delivered during the year ending December 31, 2018 with the remainder expected to be delivered from 2019-2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company received proceeds from the sales of leased railcars as follows:

In March 2018, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of an inland barge business.

On April 23, 2018, the Company gave notice of its election to redeem all of the outstanding Convertible Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") on June 1, 2018 pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing the Notes. The outstanding Notes will be redeemed for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, June 1, 2018. As of April 23, 2018, there were approximately $449.4 million aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding.

In December 2017, the Company announced that its Board of Directors unanimously approved a plan to pursue a spin-off of the Company's infrastructure-related businesses to Trinity stockholders. The separation is planned as a tax-free spin-off transaction to the Company's stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The transaction is expected to result in two separate public companies: (1) Trinity, the currently existing company, which will be comprised primarily of Trinity’s rail-related businesses and (2) a new infrastructure company, focused on infrastructure-related products and services (the “Infrastructure Company”).

Completion of the spin-off will be subject to, among other things, the effectiveness of appropriate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, final approval from the Company's Board of Directors, and other customary conditions. The Company may, at any time and for any reason until the proposed transaction is complete, abandon the separation or modify or change its terms. The separation is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2018, but there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing of the separation or that the separation will ultimately occur. See information in Item 1A "Risk Factors"of our 2017 10-K under the heading "Risks Related to the Proposed Spin-Off of our Infrastructure-Related Businesses" for a description of some of the risks and uncertainties associated with the proposed transaction.

A current summary of the Company's Highway Products litigation is provided in Note 18 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased by 5% from the prior year period primarily as a result of reduced barge deliveries in our Inland Barge Group and lower wind tower shipments, partially offset by improved pricing and increased shipping volumes in our utility structures business in our Energy Equipment Group. Revenue in our Energy Group was also lower for the three months ended March 31, 2018 due to the required adoption of the new revenue accounting rules. See Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Revenues from our Rail Group increased for the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily as a result of higher railcar deliveries to our Leasing Group as well as external customers. Revenues from our Construction Products Group increased for the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily due to higher volumes in our construction aggregates business and higher volumes in the Group's other businesses primarily as a result of our trench shoring products acquisition in 2017. Revenues from our Leasing Group decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2018 when compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of lower average lease rates and utilization partially offset by growth in the lease fleet.

Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes results in effective tax rates that differ from the statutory rates. The following is a reconciliation between the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate and the Company’s effective income tax rate on income before income taxes:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018		2017

Effective rate	26.2	%	28.7	%

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. In December 2017, we recorded a tax benefit after the initial assessment of the tax effects of the Act, and we will continue refining this amount throughout 2018. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, we adjusted our initial assessment of the tax effects of the Act to record an additional benefit related to the transition tax. We are still analyzing certain aspects of the Act and refining our calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of our deferred tax balance or give rise to new deferred tax amounts in future periods of 2018.The impact of the Act may differ from our estimate due to changes in the regulations, rulings, guidance, and interpretations issued by the IRS and the FASB as well as interpretations and assumptions made by the Company. For the items for which we were able to determine a reasonable estimate, we recognized an additional provisional net benefit of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which is included as a component of income tax expense. The calculation of our estimated annual effective tax rate includes the estimated impact of provisions of the Tax Act, such as interest limitations, and foreign limitations or inclusions. These estimates could change as additional information becomes available on these provisions of the Tax Act.

Income tax payments, net of refunds received, during the three months ended March 31, 2018 totaled $0.7 million. The total net income tax receivable position at March 31, 2018 amounted to $26.7 million.

See Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of income taxes.

Ending balance⁽¹⁾	21,365		26,420

⁽¹⁾The ending backlog figures for the three months ended March 31, 2018 reflects the removal of 200 railcars that have not been netted against orders.

Revenues and cost of revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2018 by 25.1% and 27.1%, respectively, when compared to the prior year period. The increases in revenues and cost of revenues primarily resulted from an increase in railcar unit deliveries.

Unit decreases and lower prices decreased total backlog dollars by 20.9% when comparing March 31, 2018 to the prior year period. The average selling price in the backlog at March 31, 2018 was 2.2% lower as compared to March 31, 2017 primarily due to pricing and product mix changes. Approximately 56% of our railcar backlog is expected to be delivered during 2018 with the remainder to be delivered thereafter into 2021. The backlog dedicated to the Leasing Group is supported by lease commitments with external customers. The final amount dedicated to the Leasing Group may vary by the time of delivery as customers may alternately choose to purchase railcars as external sales from the Rail Group.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, railcar shipments included sales to the Leasing Group of $272.6 million with a deferred profit of $24.5 million, representing 3,227 railcars, compared to $181.0 million with a deferred profit of $28.9 million, representing 1,731 railcars, in the comparable period in 2017. There were no railcar shipments of leased railcars to third parties during the three months ended March 31, 2018 or March 31, 2017.

Operating profit decreased by 16.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 2017 primarily due to lower average lease rates and increased fleet maintenance and compliance expense. See Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of lease arrangements with the independent owner trusts.

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

The increase in operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 2017 is primarily due to higher consulting and professional fees including transaction costs related to the Company's proposed spin-off totaling $7.9 million partially offset by lower legal and litigation-related expenses which were unrelated to the proposed spin-off.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2018			2017
	(in millions)
Total cash provided by (required by):
Operating activities	$	173.7		$	220.1
Investing activities	(241.5		)	(140.5		)
Financing activities	(103.3		)	(50.7		)
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	(171.1	)	$	28.9

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $173.7 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $220.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Cash flow provided by operating activities decreased primarily due to lower net income and lower deferred taxes.

Receivables at March 31, 2018 decreased by $49.4 million or 12.4% since December 31, 2017 primarily due to lower trade receivables in our Rail and Inland Barge Groups. Raw materials inventory at March 31, 2018 decreased by $24.1 million or 8.1% while work in process inventory decreased by $14.6 million or 8.2% primarily in our Rail and Energy Equipment Groups. Finished goods inventory decreased by $2.5 million or 1.5% since December 31, 2017 primarily in our Energy Equipment Group. Accounts payable increased by $8.0 million, while accrued liabilities decreased by $42.6 million from December 31, 2017 primarily due to settlement of certain balances from the previous year end. We continually review reserves related to collectibility as well as the adequacy of lower of cost or net realizable value with regard to accounts receivable and inventory.

Investing Activities. Net cash required by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $241.5 million compared to $140.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $334.0 million, which included $318.2 million for additions to the lease fleet. This compares to $187.2 million of capital expenditures for the same period last year, which included $162.9 million for additions to the lease fleet. Proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment and other assets totaled $18.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, including railcar sales from the lease fleet owned more than one year at the time of sale totaling $15.5 million. This compares to $3.6 million for the same period in 2017. There were no railcar sales from the lease fleet owned more than one year at the time of sale. Full-year manufacturing/corporate capital expenditures for 2018 are projected to range between $100.0 million and $150.0 million. For 2018, after taking into account deferred profit on new railcar additions and planned modifications to the lease fleet, we anticipate a net investment of approximately $520.0 million in our lease fleet, after taking into account the proceeds from sales of leased railcars. Short-term marketable securities decreased by $98.7 million and $42.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net cash required related to acquisitions amounted to $25.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. There was no divestiture activity for the three months ended March 31, 2018. There was no acquisition or divestiture activity for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Financing Activities. Net cash required by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $103.3 million compared to $50.7 million of cash required by financing activities for the same period in 2017. Additionally we retired $26.5 million in debt as scheduled. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we retired $26.7 million in debt as scheduled. Cash used to repurchase the Company's common stock totaled $49.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018. There were no shares repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2017. We intend to use our cash and committed credit facilities to fund the operations, expansions, and growth initiatives of the Company. Additionally, we may use our cash and committed credit facilities to retire or repurchase the Company's outstanding debt prior to its stated maturity or repurchase shares of its common stock.

the holders in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted a “settlement amount,” as defined in the Indenture governing the Notes, equal to the sum of the daily settlement amounts for each of the 20 consecutive trading days of the cash settlement averaging period. Although the Company has the option to make the conversion payments in cash and shares of the Company’s common stock (or cash in lieu of some or all of the shares of common stock), the Company intends to make the entire conversion payment with respect to all Notes converted solely in cash. The Company currently expects to fund the redemption and conversion payments through a combination of cash on hand and the proceeds from one or more financing transactions by the Company on a non-recourse basis.

As of March 31, 2018, we had letters of credit issued under our $600 million revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $78.8 million, leaving $521.2 million available for borrowing. Other than these letters of credit, there were no borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2018, or for the three month period then ended. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin and are guaranteed by certain 100%-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

In December 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $500 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019. Under the program, 1,519,503 shares were repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2018, at a cost of approximately $50.0 million. Certain shares of stock repurchased during March 31, 2018, totaling $6.7 million, were cash settled in April 2018 in accordance with normal settlement practices. As of March 31, 2018, the remaining authorization under the program totaled $450.0 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company received proceeds from the sales of leased railcars as follows:

Future Operating Requirements

We expect to finance future operating requirements with cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities; cash flows from operations; and, depending on market conditions, short-term debt, long-term debt, and equity. Debt instruments that the Company has utilized include its revolving credit facility, the TILC warehouse facility, senior notes, convertible subordinated notes, asset-backed securities, and sale-leaseback transactions. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities balances of $846.2 million, and $521.2 million available under its revolving credit facility. Under the TILC warehouse facility, $595.5 million was unused and available as of March 31, 2018 based on the amount of warehouse-eligible, unpledged equipment. The Company believes it has access to adequate capital resources to fund operating requirements and is an active participant in the capital markets.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Derivative Instruments

We may use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, both in anticipation of future debt issuances and to offset interest rate variability of certain floating rate debt issuances outstanding. We also may use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in natural gas and diesel fuel prices and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting standards. See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of how the Company valued its commodity hedges and interest rate swap at March 31, 2018. See Note 11 Debt of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company's debt instruments.

•	the credit worthiness of customers and their access to capital;

•	business conditions in emerging economies;

•	changes in accounting standards or inaccurate estimates or assumptions in the application of accounting policies;


•	legal, regulatory, and environmental issues, including compliance of our products with mandated specifications, standards, or testing criteria and obligations to remove and replace our products following installation or to recall our products and install different products manufactured by us or our competitors;


•	actions by the executive and legislative branches of the U.S. government relative to federal government budgeting, taxation policies, government expenditures, U.S. borrowing/debt ceiling limits, and trade policies;


•	the use of social or digital media to disseminate false, misleading and/or unreliable or inaccurate information;


•	the inability to sufficiently protect our intellectual property rights;


•	if the proposed spin-off transaction is not completed;


•	if the Company does not realize some or all of the benefits expected to result from the spin-off, or if such benefits are delayed;


•	the Company's ongoing businesses may be adversely affected and subject to certain risks and consequences as a result of pursuing the spin-off transaction;


•	if the proposed spin-off transaction is completed, the trading price of the Company's common stock will decline as it will no longer reflect the value of the infrastructure-related businesses;


•	if the distribution of shares of the Infrastructure Company, together with certain related transactions, does not qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company's stockholders and the Company could be subject to significant tax liability; and


•	if the spin-off transaction does not comply with state and federal fraudulent conveyance laws and legal dividend requirements.
