Trinity Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
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,” “our,” or "us") including the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and partially-owned subsidiaries, TRIP Rail Holdings LLC (“TRIP Holdings”) and RIV 2013 Rail Holdings LLC ("RIV 2013"), in which we have a controlling interest. In our opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of September 30, 2019, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, have been made in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 presentation.
Due to seasonal and other factors, the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 may not be indicative of expected results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2019. These interim financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Spin-off of Arcosa, Inc.
On November 1, 2018, we completed the separation of Trinity Industries, Inc. into two public companies: (1) Trinity Industries, Inc., comprised primarily of Trinity’s rail-related businesses, which are leading providers of railcar products and services in North America, and (2) Arcosa, Inc. ("Arcosa"), a new public company focused on infrastructure-related products and services. The separation was effected through a pro rata dividend to Trinity's shareholders of all outstanding Arcosa shares and was structured to qualify as a tax-free distribution for federal income tax purposes. Following the distribution, Arcosa became an independent, publicly-traded company on the New York Stock Exchange. Trinity did not retain an ownership interest in Arcosa following the completion of the spin-off transaction.
Upon completion of the spin-off transaction on November 1, 2018, the accounting requirements for reporting Arcosa as a discontinued operation were met. Accordingly, Arcosa's results of operations are presented as discontinued operations for all periods in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. See Note 2 for further information related to the spin-off transaction.
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. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Payments for our products and services are generally due within normal commercial terms. The following is a description of principal activities from which we generate our revenue, separated by reportable segments. See Note 4 for a further discussion regarding our reportable segments.
Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group
In our Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group ("Leasing Group"), revenue from rentals and operating leases, including contracts that contain non-level fixed lease payments, is recognized monthly on a straight-line basis. Leases not classified as operating leases are generally considered sales-type leases as a result of an option to purchase.
We review our operating lease receivables for collectibility on a regular basis, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the lessee’s payment history, the financial condition of the lessee, and business and economic conditions in the industry in which the lessee operates. In the event that the collectibility of a receivable with respect to any lessee is no longer probable, we de-recognize the revenue and related receivable and recognize future revenue only when the lessee makes a rental payment. Contingent rents are recognized when the contingency is resolved.
Selling profit or loss associated with sales-type leases is recognized upon lease commencement, and a net investment in the sales-type lease is recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Interest income related to sales-type leases is recognized over the lease term using the effective interest method.
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 and management agreements is recognized as each performance period occurs.

Table of Contents

We account for shipping and handling costs as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good; as such, these fees are recorded in revenue. The fees and costs of shipping and handling activities are accrued when the related performance obligation has been satisfied.
Rail Products Group
Our railcar manufacturing business recognizes revenue when the customer has submitted its certificate of acceptance and legal title of the railcar 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 unable to estimate the final consideration until the railcar is delivered, at which time the pricing becomes fixed.
Within our maintenance services business, revenue is recognized over time as repair and maintenance projects are completed, using an input approach based on the costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs of performing the project. We recorded contract assets of $6.2 million and $10.2 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, related to unbilled revenues recognized on repair and maintenance services that have been performed, but for which the entire project has not yet been completed, and the railcar has not yet been shipped to the customer. These contract assets are included within the Receivables, net of allowance line in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
All Other
Our highway products business recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
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 September 30, 2019 and the percentage of the outstanding performance obligations as of September 30, 2019 expected to be delivered during the remainder of 2019:

Lease Accounting
Lessee
We are the lessee of operating leases predominantly for railcars, as well as office buildings, manufacturing equipment, and office equipment. Our operating leases have remaining lease terms ranging from one year to forty years, some of which include options to extend for up to five years, and some of which include options to terminate within one year. As of September 30, 2019, we had no finance leases in which we were the lessee.

Lessor
Our Leasing Group enters into railcar operating leases with third parties with terms generally ranging between one year and ten years, although certain leases entered into in prior periods had lease terms of up to twenty years. The majority of our fleet operates on leases that earn fixed monthly lease payments. A portion of our fleet operates on per diem leases that earn usage-based variable lease payments. Some of our leases include options to extend the leases for up to five years, and a small percentage of our leases include options to terminate within one year with certain notice requirements and early termination penalties. Our sales-type leases include an option for the lessee to purchase the leased railcars with certain notice. As of September 30, 2019, non-Leasing Group operating leases were not significant, and we had no direct finance leases.

Table of Contents

We manage risks associated with residual values of leased railcars by investing across a diverse portfolio of railcar types, staggering lease maturities within any given railcar type, avoiding concentration of railcar type and industry, and participating in active secondary markets. Additionally, our lease agreements contain normal wear and tear return condition provisions and high mileage thresholds designed to protect the value of our residual assets. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

Financial Instruments
We consider 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.
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments including restricted cash and receivables. 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 our customer base, and their dispersion across different end markets and geographic areas. As receivables are generally unsecured, we maintain 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, receivables, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.

Goodwill
As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of our goodwill totaled $208.8 million, which is primarily attributable to the Rail Products Group.
Warranties
We provide various express, limited product warranties that generally range from one year to five years depending on the product. The warranty costs are estimated using a two-step approach. First, an engineering estimate is made for the cost of all claims that have been asserted by customers. Second, based on historical claims experience, a cost is accrued for all products still within a warranty period for which no claims have been filed. We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized related to products covered by warranties and assess the adequacy of the resulting reserves on a quarterly basis. The changes in the accruals for warranties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted in 2019
ASU 2016-02 In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases", ("ASC 842") which amended 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. ASC 842 is effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, which permits entities to record the right-of-use asset and lease liability on the date of adoption, with no requirement to recast comparative periods.
We adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method of recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2019. Therefore, comparative financial information was not adjusted and continues to be reported under the prior lease accounting guidance in ASC 840. We elected the transition relief package of practical expedients, and as a result, we did not assess 1) whether existing or expired contracts contain embedded leases, 2) lease classification for any existing or expired leases, and 3) whether lease origination costs qualified as initial direct costs. We elected the short-term lease practical expedient by establishing an accounting policy to exclude leases with a term of 12 months or less, as well as the land easement practical expedient for maintaining our current accounting policy for existing or expired land easements. For qualifying operating leases in which we are the lessor, we do not separate lease components for our leased railcars from non-lease components, which are comprised of stand-ready maintenance obligations. We did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining a lease term and impairment of right-of-use assets at the adoption date.
Upon adoption, we recognized right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $47.0 million and $48.3 million, respectively, in our Consolidated Balance Sheet based on the present value of future minimum lease payments under operating leases for which we are the lessee. This excluded the impact of railcars that were previously under operating leases as of January 1, 2019 but which were purchased on January 14, 2019 and are now wholly-owned by our Leasing Group. Additionally, we recorded an adjustment to opening retained earnings of $17.7 million ($13.7 million, net of tax) related to the derecognition of deferred profit related to sale-leaseback transactions. Our accounting treatment under ASC 842 for leases in which we are the lessor remained substantially unchanged from our accounting treatment under ASC 840. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows.
Effective in 2020
ASU 2018-15 In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, "Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract," which aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a cloud computing arrangement that is a service arrangement with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. ASU 2018-15 is effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt ASU 2018-15 effective January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis and are currently evaluating its impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

ASU 2016-13 In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This approach may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses," which excludes operating lease receivables from the scope of ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis and are currently evaluating its impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 2. Discontinued Operations
On November 1, 2018, we completed the spin-off of Arcosa. Upon completion of the spin-off transaction, the accounting requirements for reporting Arcosa as a discontinued operation were met, and, accordingly, Arcosa's historical results have been reclassified to discontinued operations for the periods presented herein.
In connection with the spin-off transaction, Trinity and Arcosa entered into various agreements to effect the distribution and provide a framework for their relationship after the separation, including a separation and distribution agreement, a transition services agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, and an intellectual property matters agreement. Trinity is also party to certain commercial agreements with Arcosa entities. These agreements have various durations ranging between one and eighteen months. We have determined that the continuing cash flows generated by these agreements do not constitute significant continuing involvement in the operations of Arcosa. The amount billed for transition services provided under the above agreements was not material to our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
We incurred $0.5 million and $10.5 million in spin-off related transaction costs during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of which $0.5 million and $9.2 million are included in income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. We incurred $2.3 million and $28.8 million in spin-off related transaction costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of which $2.3 million and $25.6 million are included in income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. These costs primarily relate to the preparation of regulatory filings, investment banking fees, professional fees associated with various legal, accounting, and tax matters related to the spin-off, and other separation activities within the finance, tax, legal, and information technology functions.
Arcosa is a stand-alone public company that separately reports its financial results. Due to differences between the basis of presentation for discontinued operations and the basis of presentation as a stand-alone company, the financial results of Arcosa included within discontinued operations may not be indicative of the actual financial results of Arcosa as a stand-alone company.
The following is a summary of operating results included in income (loss) from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Note 3. Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Accounting
Derivative Instruments
We 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 by recording the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") as a separate component of stockholders' equity and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. We continuously monitor our derivative positions and the credit ratings of our counterparties and do not anticipate losses due to non-performance. See Note 8 for a description of our debt instruments.

Fair Value Measurements
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. Our cash equivalents and restricted cash are instruments of the U.S. Treasury or highly-rated money market mutual funds. The assets measured as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy are summarized below:

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. Interest rate hedges are valued at exit prices obtained from each counterparty. The liabilities measured as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy are summarized below:

Total liabilities

$

(1) Included in accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we have no assets measured as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
See Note 8 for the estimated fair values of our debt instruments. The fair values of all other financial instruments are estimated to approximate carrying value.

Note 4. Segment Information
We report our operating results in three principal business segments: (1) the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group, which owns and operates a fleet of railcars and provides third-party fleet leasing, management, and administrative services; (2) the Rail Products Group, which manufactures and sells railcars and related parts and components, and provides railcar maintenance and modification services; and (3) All Other. The All Other segment includes our highway products business; our logistics businesses; 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 are included in the operating profit of each respective segment.
Sales and related net profits ("deferred profit") from the Rail Products Group to the Leasing Group are recorded in the Rail Products Group and eliminated in consolidation and are reflected in "Eliminations Lease Subsidiary" in the tables 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 our 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 (in millions). We operate principally in North America.

Note 5. Partially-Owned Leasing Subsidiaries
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Trinity Industries Leasing Company (“TILC”), we 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 we have 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 September 30, 2019, the carrying value of our investment in TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 totaled $186.8 million. Our 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 investment in our partially-owned leasing subsidiaries is eliminated in consolidation.
Each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 has wholly-owned subsidiaries that are the owners of railcars acquired from our Rail Products 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. Our controlling interest in each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 results from our 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 our 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 are scheduled to expire in May 2021 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 8 regarding the debt of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 and their respective subsidiaries.
Other Investments
TILC holds a 5% equity interest in an RIV fund that is managed and controlled by a third party that is also one of our RIV partners. We have evaluated the potential for consolidation using the variable interest model and have determined that Trinity is not required to consolidate this entity. The carrying value of our investment was not significant to our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Net deferred profit on railcars sold to the Leasing Group consists of intersegment profit that is eliminated in consolidation and is, therefore, not allocated to an operating segment. See Note 5 and Note 8 for a further discussion regarding our investment in our partially-owned leasing subsidiaries and the related indebtedness. See Note 15 for a discussion of subsidiary guarantees of our 4.55% senior notes due 2024 ("Senior Notes").

(1) Includes revenues associated with sales-type leases of $26.3 million and $60.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
(2) Operating profit includes: depreciation; maintenance and compliance; rent; and selling, engineering, and administrative expenses. Amortization of deferred profit on railcars sold from the Rail Products Group to the Leasing Group is included in the operating profit of the Leasing Group, resulting in the recognition of depreciation expense based on our original manufacturing cost of the railcars. Interest expense is not a component of operating profit and includes the effect of hedges.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Leasing Group recognized sales of leased railcars as follows:

(1) Includes revenues associated with sales-type leases of $60.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Equipment consists primarily of railcars leased by third parties. The Leasing Group purchases equipment manufactured predominantly by the Rail Products Group and enters into lease contracts with third parties with terms generally ranging between one year and ten years, although certain leases entered into in prior periods had lease terms of up to twenty years. The Leasing Group primarily enters into operating leases. Future contractual minimum rental revenues on operating leases related to our wholly-owned and partially-owned subsidiaries are as follows:

Debt. Wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Leasing Group’s debt at September 30, 2019 consisted primarily of non-recourse debt. As of September 30, 2019, Trinity’s wholly-owned subsidiaries included in the Leasing Group held equipment with a net book value of $4,296.0 million which is pledged solely as collateral for Leasing Group debt held by those subsidiaries. The net book value of unpledged equipment at September 30, 2019 was $1,289.5 million. See Note 8 for more information regarding the Leasing Group debt.
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 $1,249.7 million is pledged as collateral for the TRIP Master Funding debt. TRL-2012 equipment with a net book value of $544.8 million is pledged solely as collateral for the TRL-2012 secured railcar equipment notes. See Note 5 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 twenty-two years, and subleased the railcars to independent third-party customers under shorter term operating lease agreements. The terms of the operating lease agreements between the subsidiaries and the remaining Trusts provided the Leasing Group with the option to purchase, at a predetermined fixed price, certain railcars from the remaining Trusts in 2019. On January 14, 2019, we completed the purchase for a purchase price of $218.4 million. As a result, 6,779 railcars previously under lease are now wholly-owned by our Leasing Group. The future contractual minimum rental revenues associated with these railcars are included in the table above.

The estimated fair value of our Senior Notes is based on a quoted market price in a market with little activity as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (Level 2 input). The estimated fair values of our 2006, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2018, and 2019 secured railcar equipment notes, TRIHC 2018 LLC ("TRIHC 2018"), and TRIP Rail Master Funding LLC (“TRIP Master Funding”) secured railcar equipment notes are based on our estimate of their fair value as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 using unobservable input values provided by a third party (Level 3 inputs). The respective carrying values of our revolving credit facility, TILC warehouse facility, and 2017 promissory notes approximate fair value because the interest rate adjusts to the market interest rate.
Revolving Credit Facility — We have a $450.0 million unsecured corporate revolving credit facility that matures in November 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had total borrowings of $825.0 million and total repayments of $750.0 million under the revolving credit facility, with a remaining outstanding balance of $75.0 million as of September 30, 2019. Additionally, we had outstanding letters of credit issued in an aggregate principal amount of $35.5 million, leaving $339.5 million available for borrowing as of September 30, 2019. The outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2019 are scheduled to expire in July 2020. Our letters of credit obligations support our various insurance programs and generally renew by their terms each year. The revolving credit facility bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR or an alternate base rate at the time of the borrowing and Trinity’s leverage as measured by a consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratio, and was initially set at LIBOR plus 1.25% (1.50% as of September 30, 2019). A commitment fee accrues on the average daily unused portion of the revolving facility at the rate of 0.175% to 0.30% (0.20% as of September 30, 2019).

23

Table of Contents

The revolving credit facility requires the maintenance of ratios related to minimum interest coverage for the leasing and manufacturing operations and maximum leverage. As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants. Borrowings under the credit facility are guaranteed by certain of our 100%-owned subsidiaries.
TILC Warehouse Loan Facility — The TILC warehouse loan facility was established to finance railcars owned by TILC. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had total borrowings of $663.1 million and total repayments of $492.1 million under the TILC warehouse loan facility, with a remaining outstanding balance of $545.8 million as of September 30, 2019. The entire unused facility amount of $204.2 million was available as of September 30, 2019 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 facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin, for an all-in interest rate of 3.69% at September 30, 2019. Amounts outstanding at maturity, absent renewal, are payable in March 2022.
TRL-2019 — In April 2019, Trinity Rail Leasing 2019 LLC ("TRL-2019"), a Delaware limited liability company and a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company owned through TILC, issued $528.3 million in Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the "TRL-2019 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes"). The TRL-2019 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes were issued pursuant to a Master Indenture, dated as of April 10, 2019 between TRL-2019 and U.S. Bank National Association, as indenture trustee. The TRL-2019 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.82%, are payable monthly, and have a stated final maturity date of April 17, 2049. The TRL-2019 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes are obligations of TRL-2019 and are non-recourse to Trinity. The obligations are secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases thereon, certain cash reserves, and other assets acquired and owned by TRL-2019. Net proceeds received from the transaction were used to repay approximately $347.0 million of borrowings under TILC’s secured warehouse loan facility, to repay approximately $125.0 million of borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, and for general corporate purposes.
Terms and conditions of other debt, including recourse and non-recourse provisions, are described in Note 11 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The remaining principal payments under existing debt agreements as of September 30, 2019 are as follows:

Subsequent Event — In October 2019, TRL-2019 issued an additional $386.5 million in Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the "TRL-2019-2 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes"). The TRL-2019-2 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes consisted of two classes of notes with (i) an aggregate principal amount of $106.9 million of TRL-2019's Series 2019-2 Class A-1 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the "Class A-1 Notes"), and (ii) an aggregate principal amount of $279.6 million of TRL-2019's Series 2019-2 Class A-2 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the “Class A-2 Notes”). The TRL-2019-2 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes were issued pursuant to a Master Indenture, dated April 10, 2019 between TRL-2019 and U.S. Bank National Association, as indenture trustee, as supplemented by a Series 2019-2 Supplement dated as of October 17, 2019. The Class A-1 Notes and Class A-2 Notes bear interest at fixed rates of 2.39% and 3.10%, respectively, are payable monthly, and have a stated final maturity date of October 17, 2049. The TRL-2019-2 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes are obligations of TRL-2019 and are non-recourse to Trinity. The obligations are secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases thereon, certain cash reserves, and other assets acquired and owned by TRL-2019. Net proceeds received from the transaction are being used to repay approximately $167 million in outstanding borrowings under the Leasing Group's secured warehouse loan facility, to repay approximately $125 million in outstanding borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility, and for general corporate purposes.
Note 9. Income Taxes
Our effective tax rates were 27.5% and 26.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and 19.0% and 23.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Our effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% due to the impacts of state income taxes, the incremental tax on profits of branches taxed in both U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, excess tax benefits of equity based compensation, tax return true-ups, and non-deductible executive compensation.
Our federal tax years remain open under statute from 2014 forward. The 2014-2017 tax years have been reviewed by the Internal Revenue Service but remain open due to tax loss carryback claims that have been filed. We have state tax returns that are under audit in the normal course of business, and our Mexican subsidiaries' tax return statutes remain open from 2013 forward. We believe we are appropriately reserved for any potential matters.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we effectively settled a state tax audit resulting in a decrease in uncertain tax positions of $5.7 million.

We had no contributions to our defined benefit pension plans for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

We contributed $28.0 million and $31.7 million to our defined benefit pension plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. We do not expect any further contributions to our defined benefit pension plans in 2019. The non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost in the table above are included in other, net (income) expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Planned Pension Plan Termination
On September 4, 2019, our Board of Directors approved the termination of the Trinity Industries, Inc. Consolidated Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan"), effective December 31, 2019. Except for retirees currently receiving payments under the Pension Plan, participants will have the choice of receiving a single lump sum payment or an annuity from a highly-rated insurance company that will pay and administer future benefit payments. The Pension Plan is expected to be settled between late 2020 and early 2021, subject to required governmental approvals, and would then result in the Company no longer having any remaining funded pension plan obligations.
Upon settlement, we expect to recognize pre-tax pension settlement charges totaling between $145 million and $195 million. This range includes: (1) a non-cash charge for the recognition of all pre-tax actuarial losses accumulated in AOCL, which totaled approximately $140.4 million ($107.2 million, net of tax) as of December 31, 2018; and (2) a potential additional cash contribution to settle all of the Pension Plan’s obligations, which is not expected to exceed $25 million. The actual amount of the settlement charges and any potential cash contribution will depend on interest rates, Pension Plan asset returns, the lump-sum election rate, and other factors.

Note 12. Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation
Stockholders' Equity
In December 2017, our Board of Directors authorized a $500 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019. On November 16, 2018, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase program (the "ASR Program") to repurchase $350 million of the Company's common stock. The $350 million notional value of the ASR Program represented the entire remaining amount that was available to us under the share repurchase program that was in effect at that time. The ASR Program was completed in March 2019.
In March 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program effective March 7, 2019 through December 31, 2020. The new share repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $350.0 million of its common stock, not to exceed 13.7 million shares. The share repurchase program is designed to meet certain IRS safe harbor guidelines associated with our spin-off of Arcosa, which was completed on November 1, 2018.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased 5,171,489 and 10,778,492 shares, respectively, at a cost of approximately $100.9 million and $233.9 million, respectively. The total for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes 2,607,172 shares at a cost of approximately $70.0 million representing the final settlement of the ASR Program, which was funded in November 2018 but a portion of which remained outstanding as of December 31, 2018. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a remaining authorization to repurchase up to $186.1 million, not to exceed 5.5 million shares, of its common stock under the current repurchase program. Certain shares of stock repurchased during September 2019, totaling $9.0 million, were cash settled in October 2019 in accordance with normal settlement practices.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, 1,356,484 and 4,327,158 shares, respectively, were repurchased at a cost of approximately $50.0 million and $150.1 million, respectively, under the prior share repurchase program.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation totaled approximately $8.4 million and $21.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Stock-based compensation totaled approximately $7.6 million and $21.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company's annual grant of share-based awards generally occurs in the second quarter under our 2004 Fourth Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Plan”). Expense related to restricted stock units issued to eligible employees under the Plan is recognized ratably over the vesting period, generally between three years and four years. Expense related to performance units is recognized ratably from their award date to the end of the performance period, generally three years. Expense related to restricted stock awards granted to non-employee directors under the Plan is recognized ratably over the vesting period, generally one year.
The following table summarizes stock-based compensation awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

Note 13. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic net income attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. per common share ("EPS") 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 EPS includes 1) the net impact of unvested RSAs and RSUs and 2) with respect to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the dilutive impact of our then-outstanding convertible notes due 2036 (the "Convertible Notes"), which were converted and settled in cash during the second quarter of 2018. See Note 11 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the settlement of the Convertible Notes. Total weighted average restricted shares were 5.5 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Approximately 1.2 million and 0.2 million of these shares were excluded from the EPS calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively as their effect would have been antidilutive. Total weighted average restricted shares were 5.9 million shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. There were no antidilutive restrictive shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Note 14. 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, Mr. Harman, filed a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court, seeking a review of the Fifth Circuit's decision. On January 7, 2019, the United States Supreme Court denied Mr. Harman's petition for certiorari. The denial of Mr. Harman's petition ends this action.
State, county, and municipal actions
Mr. Harman also has separate state qui tam actions currently pending pursuant to: the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act (Commonwealth of Virginia ex rel. Joshua M. Harman v. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC, Case No. CL13-698, in the Circuit Court, Richmond, Virginia); the Tennessee False Claims Act (State of Tennessee ex rel. Joshua M. Harman v. Trinity Industries, Inc., and Trinity Highway Products, LLC, Case No. 14C2652, in the Circuit Court for Davidson County, Tennessee); the Massachusetts False Claims Act (Commonwealth of Massachusetts ex rel. 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); the New Jersey False Claims Act (State of New Jersey ex rel. Joshua M. Harman v. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC, Case No.L-1344-14, in the Superior Court of New Jersey Law Division: Mercer County); and the California False Claims Act (State of California ex rel. Joshua M. Harman Qui Tam v. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC, Case No. RG 14721864, in the Superior Court of California, Alameda County). In each of these cases, Mr. Harman alleged 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. Following the United States Supreme Court’s denial of Mr. Harman’s petition for certiorari, the stays have expired or been lifted by court order in all of the above-referenced state qui tam cases except Virginia.
In a similar Georgia state qui tam action filed by Mr. Harman (State of Georgia ex rel. Joshua M. Harman v. Trinity Industries, Inc., and Trinity Highway Products, LLC, Case No. 1:15-CV-1260, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia), on July 24, 2019, the Court entered an order dismissing Mr. Harman’s complaint without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
In a similar Illinois state qui tam action filed by Mr. Harman (State of Illinois ex rel. Joshua M. Harman Qui Tam v. Trinity Industries, Inc. and Trinity Highway Products, LLC, Case No. 2014 L 000098, in the Circuit Court for the Sixth Judicial District, Sangamon County, Illinois), on September 27, 2019, Mr. Harman filed an Unopposed Motion for Voluntary Dismissal with prejudice. On October 7, 2019, the Court entered an order dismissing the case.
As previously reported, state qui tam actions filed by Mr. Harman in the states of Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, and Rhode Island were dismissed earlier this year.
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 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. A trial date has been scheduled in this case for April 27, 2020.
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 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 United States Supreme Court’s subsequent denial of Mr. Harman's petition for certiorari in the FCA case, 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. 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 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.). The parties reached an agreement to settle all claims in this case without any admission of liability or fault for $7.5 million, and on September 23, 2019, entered into a Stipulation of Settlement. Defendants have denied and continue to deny specifically each and all of the claims and contentions alleged by Lead Plaintiffs in this case. The settlement is subject to final court approval. On September 24, 2019, Lead Plaintiffs filed with the Court an Unopposed Motion for Preliminary Approval of Settlement and Approval of Notice to the Class. We have accrued a $2.5 million charge for these claims, net of insurance recoveries, which is included in the amounts described below under "Other matters".

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 reasonably estimated. The range of reasonably possible losses for such matters is $29.6 million to $46.2 million, which includes our rights in indemnity and recourse to third parties of approximately $24.0 million, which is recorded in Other Assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019. This range includes any amounts related to the Highway Products litigation matters described above in the section titled “Highway products litigation” and the settlement described above in the section titled "Shareholder class actions." At September 30, 2019, total accruals of $33.8 million, including environmental and workplace matters described below, are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 $1.4 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.

Note 15. Financial Statements for Guarantors of the Senior Notes
Our Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of Trinity’s 100%-owned subsidiaries: Trinity Industries Leasing Company; Trinity North American Freight Car, Inc.; Trinity Rail Group, LLC; Trinity Tank Car, Inc.; Trinity Highway Products, LLC; and TrinityRail Maintenance Services, Inc. (collectively, the "Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries”).
The Senior Notes indenture agreement includes customary provisions for the release of the guarantees by the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries upon the occurrence of certain allowed events including the release of one or more of the Combined Guarantor Subsidiaries as guarantor under our revolving credit facility. See Note 11 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Senior Notes are not guaranteed by any of our remaining 100%-owned subsidiaries or partially-owned subsidiaries (“Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).
As discussed in Note 11 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, on November 1, 2018, we amended our Credit Agreement and the Supplemental Indenture governing our Senior Notes to release Trinity Marine Products, Inc., Trinity Meyer Utility Structures LLC and Trinity Structural Towers, Inc. from their obligations as guarantors for the Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes effective upon completion of the Arcosa spin-off as these businesses were transferred to Arcosa in connection with the spin-off. Additionally, upon completion of the Arcosa spin-off, the accounting requirements for reporting Arcosa as a discontinued operation were met. Accordingly, we have recast the financial information included in the tables below for all periods presented to: 1) reflect the historical balances and operating results of Arcosa as discontinued operations, 2) reclassify the historical balances and operating results of Trinity Marine Products, Inc., Trinity Meyer Utility Structures LLC and Trinity Structural Towers, Inc., who were formerly guarantor subsidiaries and whose results were previously reflected in the guarantor column, to the non-guarantor column, and 3) include Trinity Highway Products, LLC in the guarantor column. Additionally, amounts previously reported have been restated to include TrinityRail Maintenance Services, Inc. as a Guarantor Subsidiary.
As of September 30, 2019, assets held by the Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries included $92.7 million of restricted cash that was not available for distribution to Trinity Industries, Inc. (“Parent”), $6,251.1 million of equipment securing certain non-recourse debt, and $127.4 million of assets located in foreign locations. As of December 31, 2018, assets held by the Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries included $132.9 million of restricted cash that was not available for distribution to the Parent, $5,316.2 million of equipment securing certain non-recourse debt, $67.5 million of equipment securing certain lease obligations held by the Combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, and $116.0 million of assets located in foreign locations.

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 should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (or statements otherwise made by the Company or on the Company’s behalf from time to time in other reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), news releases, conferences, website postings or otherwise) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, future financial performances, estimates, projections, goals, and forecasts. Trinity uses the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” and similar expressions to identify these forward-looking statements. Potential factors which could cause our actual results of operations to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others:
market conditions and customer demand for our business products and services;
the cyclical nature of the industries in which we compete;
variations in weather in areas where our highway products are sold, used, or installed;
naturally-occurring events and disasters causing disruption to our manufacturing, product deliveries, and production capacity, thereby giving rise to an increase in expenses, loss of revenue, and property losses;
the timing of introduction of new products;
the timing and delivery of customer orders, sales of leased railcars, or a breach of customer contracts;
the creditworthiness of customers and their access to capital;
product price changes;
changes in mix of products sold;
the costs incurred to align manufacturing capacity with demand and the extent of its utilization;
the operating leverage and efficiencies that can be achieved by our manufacturing businesses;
availability and costs of steel, component parts, supplies, and other raw materials;
competition and other competitive factors;
changing technologies;
surcharges and other fees added to fixed pricing agreements for steel, component parts, supplies, and other raw materials;
interest rates and capital costs;
counter-party risks for financial instruments;
long-term funding of our operations;
taxes;
the stability of the governments and political and business conditions in certain foreign countries, particularly Mexico;
changes in import and export quotas and regulations;
business conditions in emerging economies;
costs and results of litigation, including trial and appellate costs;
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 U.S. and/or foreign governments (particularly Mexico and Canada) relative to federal government budgeting, taxation policies, government expenditures, borrowing/debt ceiling limits, tariffs, 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 Company does not realize some or all of the benefits expected to result from the spin-off of Arcosa, Inc. ("Arcosa"), a new public company focused on infrastructure-related products and services, or if such benefits are delayed; and
if the distribution of shares of Arcosa, 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 at the time of the distribution and the Company could be subject to significant tax liability.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. Except as required by federal securities laws, Trinity undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made. For a discussion of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see “Risk Factors” in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Company Overview
Trinity Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Trinity,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or "us") own businesses that are leading providers of railcar products and services in North America. Our rail-related businesses market their railcar products and services under the trade name TrinityRail®. The TrinityRail integrated platform provides railcar leasing and management services, railcar manufacturing, and railcar maintenance and modification services. We also own businesses engaged in the manufacturing of products used on the nation's roadways and in traffic control, as well as a logistics business that provides support services to Trinity and a variety of other industrial manufacturers.
On November 1, 2018, we completed the separation of Trinity Industries, Inc. into two public companies: (1) Trinity Industries, Inc., primarily comprised of Trinity’s rail-related businesses, and (2) Arcosa, a new public company focused on infrastructure-related products and services. The separation was effected through a pro rata dividend to Trinity's shareholders of all outstanding Arcosa shares and was structured to qualify as a tax-free distribution for federal income tax purposes. Following the distribution, Arcosa became an independent, publicly-traded company on the New York Stock Exchange. Trinity did not retain an ownership interest in Arcosa following the completion of the spin-off transaction. See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to the spin-off transaction.
Following the Arcosa spin-off, Trinity now reports its financial results in three principal business segments: the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group, the Rail Products Group, and the All Other Group. Our All Other segment includes the results of our highway products business, which was previously reported within our former Construction Products Group. Additionally, our heads business, which was previously reported in our former Energy Equipment Group, is now included within the Rail Products Group. Further, our axles and couplers businesses were previously included in our Rail Products Group and were transferred to Arcosa in connection with the spin-off.
Arcosa's results of operations have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Additionally, all intersegment sales between Arcosa and us, previously recorded as intersegment sales and eliminated in consolidation prior to the Arcosa spin-off, are now reflected as third-party sales. These sales, along with their related costs, are no longer eliminated in consolidation.
All segment results set forth herein have been recast to present results on a comparable basis.

Executive Summary
Financial and Operational Highlights
Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $2,154.4 million representing an increase of 21.4%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Our operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $319.1 million representing an increase of 41.6%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
The Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group (the "Leasing Group") reported additions to the wholly-owned and partially-owned lease fleet of 7,220 railcars, for a total of 102,090 railcars as of September 30, 2019, an increase of 7.6% compared to September 30, 2018.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we made a net investment in our lease fleet of approximately $679.3 million, which includes new railcar additions and railcar modifications, net of deferred profit; secondary market purchases; and proceeds from the sales of leased railcars owned more than one year at the time of sale.
The Leasing Group's lease fleet of 102,090 company-owned rail cars was 96.7% utilized as of September 30, 2019, in comparison to a lease fleet utilization of 97.6% on 94,870 company-owned railcars as of September 30, 2018.

See "Consolidated Results of Operations" and "Segment Discussion" below for additional information regarding our operating results.
Debt and Capital Allocation Updates
In connection with the Company's ongoing efforts to optimize its balance sheet, in April 2019, Trinity Rail Leasing 2019 LLC ("TRL-2019"), a Delaware limited liability company and a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company owned through Trinity Industries Leasing Company (“TILC”), issued $528.3 million of TRL-2019 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes. These notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.82% and have a stated final maturity date of 2049.
We repurchased approximately 5.2 million and 10.8 million shares during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, at a cost of approximately $100.9 million and $233.9 million. The total for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes the completion of our previously announced accelerated share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had a remaining authorization to repurchase up to $186.1 million, not to exceed 5.5 million shares, of its common stock under the current repurchase program.
See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for further information regarding these activities.
Litigation Updates
See Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for an update on the status of our Highway Products litigation.
Subsequent Events
In October 2019, TRL-2019 issued an additional $386.5 million of TRL-2019 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes, consisting of two classes of notes with (i) an aggregate principal amount of $106.9 million of TRL-2019's Series 2019-2 Class A-1 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the "Class A-1 Notes"), and (ii) an aggregate principal amount of $279.6 million of TRL-2019's Series 2019-2 Class A-2 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (the “Class A-2 Notes”). The Class A-1 Notes and Class A-2 Notes bear interest at fixed rates of 2.39% and 3.10%, respectively, and have a stated final maturity date of 2049. Net proceeds received from the transaction are being used to repay approximately $167 million in outstanding borrowings under the Leasing Group's secured warehouse loan facility, to repay approximately $125 million in outstanding borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility, and for general corporate purposes.

Cyclical and Seasonal Trends Impacting Our Business
The industries in which we operate are cyclical in nature. Weaknesses in certain sectors of the U.S. and global economy may make it more difficult to sell or lease certain types of railcars. Additionally, adverse changes in commodity prices or lower demand for certain commodities could result in a decline in customer demand for various types of railcars. We continuously assess demand for our products and services and take steps to rationalize and diversify our leased railcar portfolio and align our manufacturing capacity appropriately. We diligently evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers and monitor performance of relevant market sectors; however, weaknesses in any of these market sectors could affect the financial viability of our underlying Leasing Group customers, which could negatively impact our recurring leasing revenues and operating profits. 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. Results in our All Other Group are affected by seasonal fluctuations, with the second and third quarters historically being the quarters with the highest revenues.
Recent Market Developments
Demand for railcars continued at lower levels during the third quarter of 2019 due to economic uncertainty associated with industrial production and global tariffs and trade policies. These factors, combined with pressure on railcar loading volumes, are impacting railcar lease rates and utilization, as well as orders for new railcars, and we currently expect this trend to continue in the near term. We believe that our flexible manufacturing platform is designed to respond to cyclical changes in demand.
Strategic Initiatives
We are finalizing the initial phase of efforts to optimize our manufacturing footprint and to streamline certain functions to support our rail-focused strategy. In the fourth quarter, in connection with our assessment of future needs to support our go-forward business strategy, we anticipate recognizing a restructuring charge of approximately $10 million to $20 million, primarily from write-downs related to underutilized assets in our manufacturing footprint, and employee transition costs. We estimate that these actions will generate future annualized cost savings of approximately $8 million to $10 million. We expect to identify additional streamlining and cost savings opportunities in 2020.

Discussion of Consolidated Results
Revenues — Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $813.6 million, representing an increase of $206.7 million, or 34.1%, over the prior year period, primarily related to favorable pricing and product mix on external railcar sales, as well as higher railcar deliveries in the Rail Products Group. Additionally, revenues increased in the Leasing Group primarily from a higher volume of railcars sold from our lease fleet and higher leasing and management services revenue.
Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $2,154.4 million, representing an increase of $380.3 million, or 21.4%, over the prior year period, primarily related to a higher volume of railcars sold from our lease fleet and higher leasing and management services revenue in the Leasing Group. Additionally, revenues increased in the Rail Products Group as a result of favorable pricing and product mix on external railcar sales and growth in our maintenance services business.
Cost of revenues — Our cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 were $649.1 million, representing an increase of $182.6 million, or 39.1%, over the prior year period. Our cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $1,691.0 million, representing an increase of $342.7 million, or 25.4%, over the prior year period. The increase in cost of revenues in our Rail Products Group resulted primarily from product mix changes on external railcar sales and higher volumes in our maintenance services business. Additionally, cost of revenues increased in the Leasing Group due to a higher volume of railcars sold, including cost of revenues attributable to sales-type leases, and increased depreciation expense associated with the growth of our lease fleet.
Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses — Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses decreased by 17.9% and 14.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, when compared to the prior year period primarily due to cost reductions associated with optimizing our post-spin corporate structure.
Gains on disposition of property — Gains on disposition of property increased by $7.5 million and $23.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, when compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher sales of leased railcars.
Operating profit — Operating profit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $120.3 million, representing an increase of 60.0% from the prior year period. Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $319.1 million, representing an increase of 41.6% from the prior year period. The increase in operating profit resulted primarily from favorable product mix changes in the Rail Products Group, higher profits from railcar sales in the Leasing Group, and reductions in corporate selling, engineering, and administrative expenses.
For further information regarding the operating results of individual segments, see "Segment Discussion" below.
Interest expense, net — Interest expense, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $54.0 million and $160.8 million, respectively, compared to $40.4 million and $122.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The increase in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily driven by higher debt obligations associated with the Leasing Group and lower interest income when compared to the prior year period. However, in comparison to the prior year period, interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was favorably impacted by the retirement of the convertible notes in the second quarter of 2018.
Other, net — For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the increase in expense was primarily due to higher net periodic benefit costs associated with our company-sponsored pension plans.
Income taxes — Our effective tax rates were 27.5% and 26.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and 19.0% and 23.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Our effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% due to the impacts of state income taxes, the incremental tax on profits of branches taxed in both U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, excess tax benefits of equity based compensation, tax return true-ups, and non-deductible executive compensation.
Income tax refunds received, net of payments, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $18.4 million. The total net income tax receivable position as of September 30, 2019 was $16.7 million.

(1) Includes revenues associated with sales-type leases of $26.3 million and $60.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
(2) Operating profit includes: depreciation; maintenance and compliance; rent; and selling, engineering, and administrative expenses. Amortization of deferred profit on railcars sold from the Rail Products Group to the Leasing Group is included in the operating profits of the Leasing Group, resulting in the recognition of depreciation expense based on our original manufacturing cost of the railcars. Interest expense is not a component of operating profit and includes the effect of hedges.
Total revenues for the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group increased by 43.5% and 30.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the prior year period. Revenues related to sales of leased railcars owned one year or less increased due to a higher volume and mix of railcars sold from the fleet. Additionally, leasing and management revenues increased 8.1% and 6.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, as a result of growth in the lease fleet and higher average lease rates when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Leasing Group recognized sales of leased railcars as follows:

(1) Includes revenues associated with sales-type leases of $60.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Operating profit increased by 25.5% and 20.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher profits from railcar sales, growth in the lease fleet, and lower rent expense resulting from the purchase of 6,779 railcars during the first quarter of 2019, which were previously under lease and are now wholly-owned. These increases were partially offset by higher depreciation expense associated with the growth in the lease fleet. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for further information regarding the leased railcar purchase.

The Leasing Group generally uses its non-recourse warehouse loan facility or cash 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 sale-leaseback transactions; long-term recourse debt such as equipment trust certificates; long-term non-recourse promissory notes; or third-party equity.

(1) For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the adjustment includes 200 railcars that resulted from an order cancellation negotiated with a customer for which the Company received compensation and recorded a cancellation fee, and 230 railcars that were removed from the backlog because of the financial condition of a Leasing Group customer. These adjustments resulted in a reduction of the backlog of approximately $70 million. Additionally, as previously disclosed, the adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 includes the removal in the first quarter of 2019 of contractually committed orders for approximately 3,050 leased railcars valued at $240 million because of the financial condition of one of the Leasing Group's customers. Substantially all of the railcars removed from the backlog during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were planned for delivery subsequent to 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the other adjustments line reflects the removal of 200 railcars.
Revenues and cost of revenues for the Rail Products Group increased for the three months ended September 30, 2019 by 45.3% and 41.1%, respectively, when compared to the prior year period. The increases in revenues and cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2019 primarily resulted from higher railcar deliveries and favorable railcar pricing and product mix changes compared to the prior year period, as well as growth in our maintenance services business.
Revenues and cost of revenues for the Rail Products Group increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 by 23.4% and 22.2%, respectively, when compared to the prior year period. The increases in revenues and cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily resulted from favorable railcar pricing and product mix changes compared to the prior year period, and growth in our maintenance services business.
Total backlog dollars decreased by 23.6% when compared to the prior year period primarily from a reduction in orders received, partially offset by a 8.4% higher average selling price on railcars included in backlog as a result of changes to the product mix. Approximately 33.0% of our railcar backlog is expected to be delivered during 2019 with the remainder to be delivered thereafter into 2023. The orders in our backlog from the Leasing Group are fully supported by lease commitments with external customers.

47

Table of Contents

The final amount of backlog attributable to the Leasing Group may vary by the time of delivery as customers may choose to purchase railcars from the Rail Products Group rather than lease.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, railcar shipments included sales to the Leasing Group of $261.9 million with a deferred profit of $35.8 million, representing 2,025 railcars, compared to $177.1 million with a deferred profit of $13.4 million, representing 1,691 railcars, in the comparable period in 2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, railcar shipments included sales to the Leasing Group of $814.4 million with a deferred profit of $97.6 million, representing 6,822 railcars, compared to $649.7 million with a deferred profit of $57.8 million, representing 7,057 railcars, in the comparable period in 2018.

Revenues and cost of revenues decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 when compared to the prior year period primarily due to decreased demand and lower shipping volumes in our highway products business. The decrease in cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was partially offset by increased production costs in our highway products business. The decline in operating profit in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily resulted from insurance recoveries and gains on dispositions of property recognized in the prior year. Operating profit was further impacted by higher product development costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We expect to finance future operating requirements with cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities; cash flows from operations; and short-term debt, long-term debt, and equity. Debt instruments that we have utilized include the TILC warehouse facility, senior notes, convertible subordinated notes, asset-backed securities, non-recourse promissory notes, sale-leaseback transactions, and our revolving credit facility.
As of September 30, 2019, we had an unrestricted cash and cash equivalents balance of $97.6 million, and $339.5 million available under our revolving credit facility. Under the TILC warehouse facility, $204.2 million was unused and available as of September 30, 2019 based on the amount of warehouse-eligible, unpledged equipment. We believe we have access to adequate capital resources to fund operating requirements and are an active participant in the capital markets.
Liquidity Highlights
TRL-2019 Railcar Financing — In April 2019, TRL-2019, a Delaware limited liability company and a limited purpose, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company owned through TILC, issued $528.3 million of TRL-2019 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes. In October 2019, TRL-2019 issued an additional $386.5 million of TRL-2019 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes, consisting of two classes of notes. These notes have a stated final maturity date of 2049.
Share Repurchases — In March 2019, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program effective March 7, 2019 through December 31, 2020. The new share repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $350.0 million of its common stock, not to exceed 13.7 million shares, and is designed to meet certain IRS safe harbor guidelines associated with our spin-off of Arcosa. We repurchased approximately 5.2 million shares during the three months ended September 30, 2019, at a cost of approximately $100.9 million.
Dividend Payments — In March 2019, our Board of Directors declared a 31% increase to our quarterly dividend from $0.13 per share to $0.17 per share. We paid $60.8 million in dividends to our common stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Leased Railcar Purchase — Our Leasing Group previously leased railcars from certain independent owner trusts under operating leases, which contained an option to purchase the railcars at a predetermined fixed price in 2019. On January 14, 2019, we exercised the purchase option at a purchase price of $218.4 million. As a result, 6,779 railcars previously under lease are now wholly-owned by our Leasing Group. The purchase was funded using cash on hand and borrowings available to us under our revolving credit facility.
Cash Flows
The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows include amounts related to discontinued operations, which are primarily related to the spin-off of Arcosa, completed on November 1, 2018. These amounts have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018:

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $164.0 million compared to $179.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was driven primarily by changes in our operating assets and liabilities partially offset by higher net income from continuing operations.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $723.3 million compared to $257.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Significant investing activities are as follows:
We made a net investment in the lease fleet of $679.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $552.4 million in the prior year period. Our net investment in the lease fleet includes new railcar additions and railcar modifications, net of deferred profit; secondary market purchases; and proceeds from the sales of leased railcars owned more than one year at the time of sale.
Short-term marketable securities decreased by $319.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. There were no investing activities related to short-term marketable securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $423.6 million compared to $416.8 million of cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2018. Significant financing activities are as follows:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had total borrowings of $2,010.2 million and total repayments of $1,360.8 million, for net proceeds of $649.4 million, primarily to support our investment in the lease fleet and for general and corporate purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had total borrowings of $561.3 million and total repayments of $738.9 million, for net repayments of $177.6 million, primarily related to the cash settlement of our then-outstanding convertible notes of $646.6 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of debt in support of our investment in the lease fleet.
We paid $60.8 million and $58.1 million in dividends to our common stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
We repurchased common stock under our authorized share repurchase programs totaling $154.9 million and $156.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The cash outlay for shares repurchased during nine months ended September 30, 2019 excludes approximately $70.0 million related to the repurchased shares that were funded in November 2018 under the ASR program but delivered in the first quarter of 2019. Additionally, certain shares of stock repurchased during September 2019, totaling $9.0 million, were cash settled in October 2019 in accordance with normal settlement practices.

Current Debt Obligations
Please refer to Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our current debt obligations.
Capital Expenditures
For the full year 2019, we anticipate a net investment in our lease fleet of between $850 million and $950 million, which includes new railcar additions and railcar modifications, net of deferred profit; secondary market purchases; and proceeds from the sales of leased railcars owned more than one year at the time of sale. Capital expenditures related to manufacturing and corporate are projected to range between $110 million and $120 million for the full year 2019.
Equity Investment
See Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our investment in partially-owned leasing subsidiaries.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2019, we had letters of credit issued under our Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $35.5 million, the full amount of which is expected to expire in July 2020. Our letters of credit obligations support our various insurance programs and generally renew by their terms each year. See Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about our corporate revolving credit facility.
See Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about off balance sheet arrangements with regard to our Leasing Group.
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 from time to time 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 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of how we utilize our derivative instruments.
Planned Pension Plan Termination
On September 4, 2019, our Board of Directors approved the termination of the Trinity Industries, Inc. Consolidated Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan"), effective December 31, 2019. Except for retirees currently receiving payments under the Pension Plan, participants will have the choice of receiving a single lump sum payment or an annuity from a highly-rated insurance company that will pay and administer future benefit payments. The Pension Plan is expected to be settled between late 2020 and early 2021, subject to required governmental approvals, and would then result in the Company no longer having any remaining funded pension plan obligations.
Upon settlement, we expect to recognize pre-tax pension settlement charges totaling between $145 million and $195 million. This range includes: (1) a non-cash charge for the recognition of all pre-tax actuarial losses accumulated in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, which totaled approximately $140.4 million ($107.2 million, net of tax) as of December 31, 2018; and (2) a potential additional cash contribution to settle all of the Pension Plan’s obligations, which is not expected to exceed $25 million. The actual amount of the settlement charges and any potential cash contribution will depend on interest rates, Pension Plan asset returns, the lump-sum election rate, and other factors.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
Except as described below, as of September 30, 2019, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from December 31, 2018:
Contractual obligations that relate to operating leases, decreased by $199.0 million for the exercise of the option to purchase 6,779 railcars previously under operating leases. We completed the purchase on January 14, 2019. See Note 1 and Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our operating lease obligations.
In April 2019, TRL-2019 issued $528.3 million of TRL-2019 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes. These notes have a stated final maturity date of 2049. See Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding TRL-2019.
