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, 2023, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 2023 presentation.

Due to seasonal and other factors, the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 may not be indicative of expected results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2023. 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, 2022.

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. For all contracts with customers, we evaluate whether we are the principal (i.e., report revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e., report revenues on a net basis). Generally, we are the principal in our contracts with customers and report revenues on a gross basis as we control the product or service before it is transferred to a customer. We act as an agent for a small number of service contracts and report those revenues on a net basis as we do not control the services before they are provided to the 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 derecognize 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 in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest income related to sales-type leases is recognized over the lease term using the effective interest method. See "Lease Accounting" below for additional information regarding sales-type leases as of September 30, 2023 and 2022.

We report all sales of railcars from the lease fleet and selling profit or loss associated with sales-type leases as a net gain or loss from the disposal of a long-term asset in accordance with ASC 610-20, Gains and losses from the derecognition of non-financial assets. These sales are presented in the Lease portfolio sales line in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We act as an agent for certain logistics services and report these revenues on a net basis as we do not control the services before they are provided to the customer.

Rail Products Group

Our railcar manufacturing business recognizes revenue related to new railcars when the customer has submitted its certificate of acceptance and legal title of the railcar has passed to the customer. Certain contracts for the sales of railcars include price adjustments based on changes to input costs; this amount represents variable consideration for which we are generally unable to estimate the final consideration until the railcar is delivered.

Revenue is recognized over time as repair and maintenance projects and sustainable railcar conversions 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 $12.3 million and $2.9 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, related to unbilled revenues recognized on repair and maintenance services and sustainable railcar conversions 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.

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.

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, 2023 and the percentage of the outstanding performance obligations as of September 30, 2023 expected to be delivered during the remainder of 2023:


	Unsatisfied performance obligations at September 30, 2023
	Total Amount		Percent expected to be delivered in 2023
	(in millions)
Rail Products Group:
New railcars:
External customers	$	3,153.6
Leasing Group	444.8

Sustainable railcar conversions	$	124.4	33.5	%
Maintenance services	$	7.6	100.0	%

Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group	$	69.5	7.1	%

The remainder of the unsatisfied performance obligations for the Rail Products Group is expected to be delivered through 2028. The orders in the Rail Products Group's backlog from the Leasing Group are fully supported by lease commitments with external customers. The final amount of backlog attributable to the Leasing Group may vary by the time of delivery as customers may elect to change their procurement decision.

Unsatisfied performance obligations for the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group are related to servicing, maintenance, and management agreements and are expected to be performed through 2029.

Lease Accounting

Lessee

We are the lessee of operating leases predominantly for office buildings and railcars, as well as manufacturing equipment and office equipment. Our operating leases have remaining lease terms ranging from one year to fourteen 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, 2023, we had no material finance leases in which we were the lessee. Certain of our operating leases include lease incentives, which reduce the right-of-use asset and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The following table summarizes the impact of our operating leases on our Consolidated Financial Statements (in millions, except lease term and discount rate):

Lessor

Our Leasing Group enters into railcar operating leases with third parties with terms generally ranging between one year and ten years. The majority of our fleet operates on leases that earn fixed monthly lease payments. Generally, lease payments are due at the beginning of the applicable month. 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 early termination options with certain notice requirements and early termination penalties. As of September 30, 2023, non-Leasing Group operating leases were not significant, and we had no direct finance leases.

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 actively participating in 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.

The following table summarizes the impact of our leases on our Consolidated Statements of Operations:

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. We place our cash investments in bank deposits, investment grade short-term debt instruments, highly-rated money market funds, and highly-rated commercial paper. We limit the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. The carrying values of cash, receivables, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.

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. Receivables are generally evaluated at a portfolio level based on these characteristics. As receivables are generally unsecured, we maintain an allowance for credit losses using a forward-looking approach based on historical losses and consideration of current and expected future economic conditions. Historically, we have observed that the likelihood of loss increases when receivables have aged beyond 180 days. When a receivable is deemed uncollectible, the write-off is recorded as a reduction to allowance for credit losses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized approximately $0.8 million of credit loss expense and approximately $0.6 million of recoveries and other adjustments, and wrote off $0.3 million related to our trade receivables that are in the scope of ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, bringing the allowance for credit losses balance from $10.6 million at December 31, 2022 to $10.5 million at September 30, 2023. This balance excludes the general reserve for operating lease receivables that is permitted under ASC 450, Contingencies.

Goodwill

Goodwill by segment is as follows:


	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group	$	33.9	$	7.1
Rail Products Group	188.8		188.8
	$	222.7	$	195.9

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, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted in 2023

ASU 2022-04 – In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose information about the key terms of these programs, outstanding amounts as of the end of the reporting period, a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented, and a rollforward of these obligations.

We adopted ASU 2022-04 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption did not have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In cooperation with a participating financial institution, we facilitate a voluntary supply chain finance ("SCF") program for several of our suppliers. We negotiate payment terms with suppliers that are in line with average industry terms. We have not pledged any assets as security or provided other forms of guarantees to the financial institution. Under the SCF program, participating suppliers may choose to sell, at a discounted price, receivables due from us to the financial institution, at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institution, prior to the invoices’ scheduled due dates. The payment terms that we negotiate with all suppliers are consistent regardless of whether the supplier chooses to participate in the SCF program for a particular invoice. The SCF program is administered by a third-party financial institution, and our responsibility is limited to making payments based on the terms originally negotiated with participating suppliers, regardless of whether such suppliers sell receivables to the financial institution.

Amounts due to our participating suppliers in the SCF program totaled $24.8 million and $22.8 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in accounts payable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Payments made under the SCF program are reflected in net cash provided by operating activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Note 2. Acquisitions and Discontinued Operations

Acquisition of RSI Logistics

On March 8, 2023, we acquired RSI Logistics ("RSI"), a data-centric provider of proprietary software and logistics and terminal management solutions to the North American rail industry, for an aggregate purchase price of $72.1 million. This transaction was recorded as a business combination within the Leasing Group, based on valuations of the acquired assets and liabilities at their acquisition date fair value using Level 3 inputs. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained and reviewed. The final allocation of the purchase price may differ from the preliminary allocation based on completion of the valuation. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation within the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

Based on our preliminary purchase price allocation recorded during the first quarter of 2023, we recorded identifiable intangible assets of $37.4 million, goodwill of $26.3 million, and certain other assets, net of liabilities, totaling $8.4 million. The identifiable intangible assets, with the exception of the trade name, which will be considered an indefinite-lived intangible asset, will be amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 years to 15 years. During the third quarter of 2023, we made immaterial purchase price allocation adjustments to certain assets, which included a final working capital adjustment, resulting in a goodwill balance of $26.8 million as of September 30, 2023. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of intangible assets, goodwill, and certain other immaterial assets and liabilities.

Acquisition of Holden America

On December 30, 2022, we acquired Holden America, a manufacturer of market-leading multi-level vehicle securement and protection systems, gravity-outlet gates, and gate accessories for freight rail in North America. The total cash funded at closing, when combined with the potential additional future consideration described below, resulted in total consideration of $87.1 million. This transaction was recorded as a business combination within the Rail Products Group, based on valuations of the acquired assets and liabilities at their acquisition date fair value using Level 3 inputs. Based on our preliminary purchase price allocation recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded identifiable intangible assets of $45.9 million, goodwill of $36.4 million, and certain other immaterial assets and liabilities. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained and reviewed. The final allocation of the purchase price may differ from the preliminary allocation based on completion of the valuation. During 2023, we made immaterial purchase price allocation adjustments to certain assets and liabilities. We expect to finalize the purchase price allocation within the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date.

Table of Contents

The purchase agreement included minimum additional consideration of $10.0 million, which is payable in installments of $5.0 million per year for the next two years. The purchase agreement also contained a provision whereby additional consideration could become payable based on the achievement of certain revenue targets, up to a maximum payout of $10.0 million. The total additional consideration, which is included in other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, had an initial estimated fair value of $15.7 million as of December 31, 2022 and is remeasured at each reporting period. As of September 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the additional consideration was $18.0 million. The change in fair value is included in selling, engineering, and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Sale of Highway Products Business

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we completed the sale of Trinity Highway Products, LLC (“THP”) to Rush Hour Intermediate II, LLC ("Rush Hour"), an entity owned by an affiliated investment fund of Monomoy Capital Partners. Upon completion of the sale, the accounting requirements for reporting THP as a discontinued operation were met. In connection with the sale, the Company agreed to indemnify Rush Hour for certain liabilities related to the highway products business, including certain liabilities resulting from or arising out of the ET-Plus® System, a highway guardrail end-terminal system (the “ET Plus”). Consequently, results from discontinued operations below include certain legal expenses that are directly attributable to the highway products business. Similar expenses related to these retained obligations that may be incurred in the future will likewise be reported in discontinued operations. See Note 14 for further information regarding obligations retained in connection with the THP sale.

The following is a summary of residual THP expenses included in loss from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
	(in millions)


Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses	$	3.4	$	4.4	$	10.3	$	17.2

Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes	$	(2.7)	$	(3.4)	$	(8.1)	$	(13.7)

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a loss on sale of discontinued operations of $5.8 million ($4.4 million, net of income taxes), which included a $2.7 million payment to Rush Hour representing a final working capital adjustment, as well as additional transaction costs incurred during the period.

Other discontinued operations

In addition to the THP activities above, results for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 include $1.3 million of loss on sale of discontinued operations associated with businesses previously disposed.

Note 3. Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Derivative Instruments

We use derivative instruments to mitigate interest rate risk, including risks associated with the impact of changes in interest rates in anticipation of future debt issuances and to offset interest rate variability of certain floating rate debt issuances outstanding. We also use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of 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 income or loss ("AOCI") as a separate component of stockholders' equity. These accumulated gains or losses are reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. Derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges are accounted for by recording the realized and unrealized gains or losses on the derivative instrument in other, net (income) expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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 1
	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
	(in millions)
Assets:
Cash equivalents	$	84.5	$	29.8
Restricted cash	152.7		214.7
Total assets	$	237.2	$	244.5

Table of Contents

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 swaps and interest rate caps are valued at exit prices obtained from each counterparty. Foreign currency hedges are valued at exit prices obtained from each counterparty, which are based on currency spot and forward rates and forward points. The assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy are summarized below:


	Level 2
	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
	(in millions)

Total liabilities	$	12.4	$	21.6

(1) Included in other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2) 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have no assets or liabilities measured on a recurring basis as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, except as described in Note 2.

See Note 2 for more information regarding fair value measurements involving Level 3 inputs resulting from acquisition activity. 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 two reportable 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, as well as other railcar logistics products and services; and (2) the Rail Products Group, which manufactures and sells railcars and related parts and components, and provides railcar maintenance and modification services.

Gains and losses from the sale of property, plant, and equipment are included in the operating profit of each respective segment. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") regularly reviews the operating results of our reportable segments in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Our CODM does not consider restructuring activities when evaluating segment operating results; therefore, restructuring activities are not allocated to segment profit or loss.

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. Lease portfolio sales 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, TILC, we formed two subsidiaries, TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013, for the purpose of providing railcar leasing services in North America for institutional investors. 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, 2023, the carrying value of our investment in TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 totaled $132.8 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. TRIP Holdings has wholly-owned subsidiaries known as Triumph Rail LLC ("Triumph Rail") and Tribute Rail LLC ("Tribute Rail"). RIV 2013 has a wholly-owned subsidiary known as TRP 2021 LLC ("TRP-2021"). TILC is the contractual servicer for Triumph Rail, Tribute Rail, and TRP-2021, 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 Triumph Rail, Tribute Rail, and TRP-2021 may only be used to satisfy the particular subsidiary's liabilities, and the creditors of each of Triumph Rail, Tribute Rail, and TRP-2021 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 Triumph Rail, Tribute Rail, and TRP-2021 and has the potential to earn certain incentive fees. There are no remaining equity commitments with respect to TRIP Holdings or RIV 2013.

See Note 8 for additional information regarding the debt of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 and their respective subsidiaries.

Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate

In August 2021, the Company and Wafra, Inc. (“Wafra”), a global alternative investment manager, announced a new railcar investment vehicle (“RIV”) program between Trinity and certain funds managed by Wafra (“Wafra Funds”). As part of this program, a joint venture was formed, Signal Rail Holdings LLC (“Signal Rail”), which is currently owned 87.1% by Wafra Funds and 12.9% by TILC. To date, TILC has sold 6,460 railcars and related leases to Signal Rail for an aggregate sales price of $598.6 million. TILC services all railcars owned by Signal Rail.

Upon consideration under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model of ASC 810, Consolidation, Trinity has concluded that Signal Rail meets the definition of a VIE. TILC has variable interests in Signal Rail arising from its 12.9% equity ownership position and its role as a service provider. We determined that Trinity is not the primary beneficiary and therefore does not consolidate this entity as we do not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance. We will absorb portions of Signal Rail’s expected losses and/or receive portions of expected residual returns commensurate with our 12.9% equity interest in Signal Rail.

Our investment in Signal Rail is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. At September 30, 2023, the carrying value of TILC’s equity investment in Signal Rail was $20.7 million, which is included in other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying value of this investment represents our maximum exposure in Signal Rail.

Estimated Fair Value of Debt – The estimated fair values of our 7.75% senior notes due 2028 ("Senior Notes due 2028") and our 4.55% senior notes due 2024 ("Senior Notes due 2024") are based on a quoted market price in a market with little activity (Level 2 input). The estimated fair values of our secured railcar equipment notes are based on our estimate of their fair value using unobservable input values provided by a third party (Level 3 inputs). The respective carrying values of our revolving credit facility, 2017 promissory notes, TRL-2023 term loan, and TILC warehouse facility approximate fair value because the interest rate adjusts to the market interest rate. The estimated fair values of our debt are as follows:

	(in millions)

Level 2	$	793.4	$	387.5
Level 3	$	3,098.7	$	3,194.0

Revolving Credit Facility – We have a $600.0 million unsecured corporate revolving credit facility. In March 2023, we amended our revolving credit facility to increase the total facility commitment from $450.0 million to $600.0 million, increase the maximum leverage ratio to provide additional flexibility, modify the limitations on restricted payments, and allow up to $100.0 million of annual dividends on the Company's common stock. We incurred $0.7 million in costs related to the amendment, which will be amortized to interest expense through the maturity date. The maturity date for the revolving credit facility is the earlier of (i) July 25, 2027 or (ii) July 2, 2024 if our Senior Notes due 2024 have not been repaid in full by that date.

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had total borrowings of $435.0 million and total repayments of $660.0 million under the revolving credit facility. Additionally, we had outstanding letters of credit issued in an aggregate amount of $15.9 million. Of the $584.1 million remaining unused amount, $561.2 million was available for borrowing as of September 30, 2023. The majority of our outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2023 are scheduled to expire in October 2024. Our letters of credit obligations support performance bonds related to certain railcar orders. The revolving credit facility bears interest at a variable rate of SOFR plus (1) a benchmark adjustment of 10 basis points and (2) a facility margin of 1.75%, for an all-in interest rate of 7.16% as of September 30, 2023. A commitment fee accrues on the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit facility at the rate of 0.175% to 0.40% (0.25% as of September 30, 2023).

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, 2023, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants.

Senior Notes Due 2028 – In June 2023, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% senior notes due July 2028. These notes were issued through a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2028 is payable semiannually commencing January 15, 2024. The Senior Notes due 2028 rank senior to existing and future subordinated debt and rank equal to existing and future senior indebtedness, including our Senior Notes due 2024 and our revolving credit facility. The Senior Notes due 2028 are subordinated to all our existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The Senior Notes due 2028 contain covenants that limit our ability and/or certain subsidiaries' ability to create or permit to exist certain liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and consolidate, merge, or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. Our Senior Notes due 2028 are fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed by each of our domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under our revolving credit facility. We incurred $5.5 million in debt issuance costs, which will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Senior Notes due 2028. Net proceeds received from the issuance were used to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and to pay related fees, costs, premiums, and expenses in connection with the issuance. We intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of other debt, including the Senior Notes due 2024.

TILC Warehouse Loan Facility – TILC has a $1.0 billion warehouse loan facility, which was established to finance railcars owned by TILC. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we had total borrowings of $277.9 million and total repayments of $443.8 million under the TILC warehouse loan facility. Of the remaining unused facility amount of $444.1 million, $104.8 million was available as of September 30, 2023 based on the amount of warehouse-eligible, unpledged equipment. Advances under the facility bear interest at one-month term SOFR plus (1) a benchmark adjustment of 11 basis points and (2) a facility margin of 1.85%, for an all-in interest rate of 7.29% at September 30, 2023.

TRL-2017 SOFR Transition – In February 2023, we amended the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement and the Trinity Rail Leasing 2017, LLC ("TRL-2017") interest rate swap agreements to transition the benchmark rate from LIBOR to one-month term SOFR plus a benchmark adjustment. The Company has elected to apply the optional accounting expedient under ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform, for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform.

TRL-2023 Term Loan – In June 2023, TRL-2023 entered into a $340.0 million term loan agreement. The TRL-2023 term loan was established to finance railcars and related operating leases thereon purchased by TRL-2023 from TILC and TILC's warehouse loan facility. The TRL-2023 term loan bears interest at a variable rate of daily simple SOFR plus (1) a benchmark adjustment of 10 basis points and (2) a facility margin of 1.80%, for an all-in interest rate of 7.21% as of September 30, 2023. The TRL-2023 term loan has a stated maturity date of June 12, 2028. We incurred $2.2 million in debt issuance costs, which will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the TRL-2023 term loan. The TRL-2023 term loan is an obligation of TRL-2023 and is non-recourse to Trinity. The obligation is secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases thereon, certain cash reserves, and other assets to be acquired and owned by TRL-2023. Net proceeds received from the transaction were used to repay approximately $300.1 million of borrowings under TILC's warehouse loan facility and for general corporate purposes.

Terms and conditions of our other debt, including recourse and non-recourse provisions and scheduled maturities, are described in Note 8 of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was an expense of 18.6%, which differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes, foreign income taxes, non-deductible executive compensation, excess tax benefits associated with equity-based compensation, taxes not recorded on our non-controlling interests in partially-owned subsidiaries, and the remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities due to state tax law changes and rate reductions enacted during the third quarter.

The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was an expense of 2.8%, which differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the release of residual taxes out of AOCI; the re-measurement of our net deferred tax liabilities due to the acquisition of RSI and state tax law changes and rate reductions enacted during the year; changes in our valuation allowances; state income taxes; and foreign income taxes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, one of our partially-owned subsidiaries released residual tax effects that had previously been recorded in AOCI. This deferred tax benefit was originally recorded before the partially-owned subsidiary was treated as a flow-through entity, remaining in AOCI until the underlying book-to-tax difference no longer existed, which occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. As a result, we recorded an $11.9 million income tax benefit in our Consolidated Statements of Operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Pursuant to the acquisition of RSI during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we re-measured our existing deferred tax assets and liabilities, taking into account the expected change to state tax apportionment. This resulted in an increase to our net deferred tax liability of $3.2 million in the period, which was recorded through deferred income tax expense.

The tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 also reflects a $4.0 million tax benefit related to an adjustment to valuation allowances, primarily for deferred tax assets in Mexico, state tax loss carryforwards, and federal tax credits.

The effective tax rates from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were expenses of 22.5% and 23.7%, respectively, which differ from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes, foreign income taxes, non-deductible executive compensation, excess tax benefits associated with equity-based compensation, taxes not recorded on our non-controlling interests in partially-owned subsidiaries, and a reduction of our uncertain tax positions balance due to a lapse of a state statute of limitations.

The total income tax receivable position as of September 30, 2023 was $7.9 million primarily for state and foreign tax overpayments. Our income tax payable for federal and state taxes is $10.5 million as of September 30, 2023. During the third quarter, we recorded an uncertain tax position and a corresponding deferred tax asset for a prior year federal tax return item, which resulted in an immaterial impact to income tax expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Our federal tax return years through 2021 are effectively settled. We have state tax returns that are under audit in the normal course of business, and our Mexican subsidiaries' tax returns statutes of limitations remain open for auditing 2018 forward. We believe we are appropriately reserved for any potential matters.

Note 10. Employee Retirement Plans

Amounts related to our employee retirement plans are as follows:

Note 11. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

Changes in AOCI for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are as follows:


	Unrealized gains/(losses) on derivative financial instruments		Net actuarial gains/(losses) of defined benefit plans		Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
	(in millions)
Balances at December 31, 2022	$	20.9	$	(1.2)	$	19.7

Balances at September 30, 2023	$	18.9	$	(1.2)	$	17.7

In May 2013, one of our partially-owned leasing subsidiaries, TRIP Holdings, was converted to a partnership for income tax purposes. At the time of the conversion, TRIP Holdings had deferred tax assets associated with certain terminated interest rate hedges that were initially recognized as a component of AOCI. As TRIP Holdings was no longer a taxable entity following the conversion, these deferred tax assets were removed during the year ended December 31, 2013, with a corresponding charge to income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, leaving residual tax effects in AOCI. These residual tax effects are released when the item giving rise to the tax effect is disposed of, liquidated, or terminated. Pursuant to our election of the portfolio approach, we released the residual tax effects when all of the interest rate swap balances were fully amortized, which occurred during the first quarter of 2023. Consequently, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded an income tax benefit of $13.2 million to TRIP Holdings, reflecting the reclassification of the residual tax effects previously recorded in AOCI. The controlling interest portion of this income tax benefit was $4.4 million.

See Note 3 for additional information on the reclassification of amounts in AOCI into earnings. Reclassifications of unrealized before-tax gains and losses on derivative financial instruments are included in interest expense, net for our interest rate hedges and in cost of revenues for our foreign currency hedges in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Reclassifications of before-tax net actuarial gains/(losses) of defined benefit plans are included in other, net (income) expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 12. Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation

Stockholders' Equity

In December 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program effective December 9, 2022 with no expiration. The new share repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $250.0 million of its common stock. There were no shares repurchased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, repurchases totaled 0.6 million and 2.4 million shares, respectively, at a cost of approximately $14.1 million and $64.4 million, respectively, under a previous share repurchase program, which was terminated in the fourth quarter of 2022. Share repurchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included 0.8 million shares, at a cost of $25.0 million, representing the final settlement of an accelerated share repurchase agreement, which was funded in December 2021 but a portion of which remained outstanding as of December 31, 2021. Certain shares of stock repurchased during September 2022, totaling $2.6 million, were cash settled in October 2022 in accordance with normal settlement practices.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense totaled approximately $6.1 million and $18.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense totaled approximately $5.9 million and $16.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company's annual grant of share-based awards generally occurs in the second quarter under our Fifth Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Plan”). Our stock options have contractual terms of ten years and become exercisable over a three-year period. Expense related to stock options is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Expense related to restricted stock units ("RSUs") issued to eligible employees under the Plan is recognized over the vesting period, generally between three years and four years. Beginning in 2020, certain RSU grants provide for full vesting when the award recipients retire having reached 60 years of age and having provided at least ten years of service to the Company, provided that the awards remain outstanding for a period of six months from the date of grant. The expense for these awards is recognized over the applicable service period for each of the eligible award recipients. Expense related to RSUs and restricted stock awards ("RSAs") granted to non-employee directors under the Plan is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, generally one year. Expense related to performance units is recognized on a straight-line basis from their award date to the end of the performance period, generally three years.

The following table summarizes stock-based compensation awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023:


	Number of Shares Granted	Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Award

Restricted stock units	635,186	$	21.63
Restricted stock awards	22,937	$	21.32
Performance units	284,061	$	28.47

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 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 the net impact of potentially dilutive common shares. The Company has certain unvested RSAs that participate in dividends on a nonforfeitable basis and are therefore considered to be participating securities. Consequently, diluted net income attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. per common share is calculated under both the two-class method and the treasury stock method, and the more dilutive of the two calculations is presented.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc.


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

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 ET Plus. On October 20, 2014, a trial in this case concluded with a jury verdict stating that the Company and THP “knowingly made, used or caused to be made or used, a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim," and the District Court entered judgment on the verdict in the total amount of $682.4 million. 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 THP. On January 7, 2019, the United States Supreme Court denied Mr. Harman's petition for certiorari seeking review of the Fifth Circuit's decision. The denial of Mr. Harman's petition ended this action.

Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement related to the sale of THP, the Company agreed to indemnify Rush Hour for certain liabilities related to the highway products business, including those liabilities resulting from or arising out of (a) the proceedings set forth under “State actions” and "Missouri class action" below and (b) any other proceedings to the extent resulting from or arising out of ET Plus systems or specified ET Plus component parts that are both (i) manufactured prior to December 31, 2021, and (ii) sold in the United States on or prior to April 30, 2022, or related warranty obligations with respect thereto.

State actions

Mr. Harman also has a separate state qui tam action currently pending pursuant to the Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act ("VFATA") (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). In this matter, Mr. Harman alleged the Company violated the VFATA pertaining to sales of the ET Plus, and he is seeking damages, civil penalties, attorneys’ fees, costs, and interest. The Commonwealth of Virginia Attorney General has intervened in the Virginia matter. The trial court has set the case for trial on March 18, 2024. The Company believes that the claims in this matter are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against all allegations.

In a similar Tennessee state qui tam action filed by Mr. Harman (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), Mr. Harman alleged the Company violated the Tennessee False Claim Act pertaining to sales of the ET Plus, and he is seeking damages, civil penalties, attorneys’ fees, costs, and interest. The State of Tennessee Attorney General filed a Notice of Election to Decline Intervention in this matter. On January 10, 2022, the trial court granted Trinity’s Motion to Dismiss Harman’s Second Amended Complaint and entered an order dismissing Mr. Harman’s complaint with prejudice. On February 7, 2022, Mr. Harman filed a Notice of Appeal of the trial court's order dismissing the case. On June 13, 2023, the Tennessee Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's decision dismissing Mr. Harman's Second Amended Complaint with prejudice. On August 14, 2023, Mr. Harman filed an Application for Permission to Appeal in the Tennessee Supreme Court. Mr. Harman’s application remains pending. The Company believes that the claims in this matter are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against all allegations.

In a similar New Jersey state qui tam action (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) that was previously dismissed by the trial court, Mr. Harman sought leave to file an amended complaint pursuant to the New Jersey False Claims Act. On February 16, 2022, the trial court denied Mr. Harman’s motion. On March 9, 2022, Mr. Harman filed a motion for reconsideration of the trial court’s order denying leave to file an amended complaint. On June 27, 2022, the trial court denied Mr. Harman’s motion for reconsideration seeking leave to file an amended complaint with prejudice. On August 9, 2022, Mr. Harman filed a Notice of Appeal of the trial court's order denying Mr. Harman's motion for reconsideration. Mr. Harman's appeal remains pending. The Company believes that the claims in this matter are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against all allegations.

Based on information currently available to the Company and previously disclosed, we currently do not believe that a loss is probable in the Virginia, Tennessee, and New Jersey state qui tam actions described under "State 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. While the financial impacts of these state actions are currently unknown, they could be material.

Missouri class action

On November 5, 2015, a lawsuit was filed against the Company 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 was 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 alleged that the Company and THP 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 alleged product liability negligence, product liability strict liability, and negligently supplying dangerous instrumentality for supplier’s business purposes. The plaintiff sought compensatory damages, interest, attorneys' fees, and costs, and in the alternative plaintiff sought 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.

As previously reported, the parties reached an agreement to settle all claims in this case without any admission of liability or fault. Defendants have denied and continue to deny specifically each and all of the claims and contentions alleged in this case. The Company’s settlement with the class avoids the uncertainty and expense of continued litigation. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company will pay for the past replacement of certain ET Plus systems, for locating and replacing certain existing undamaged ET Plus systems, and for attorneys’ fees and costs. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $23.9 million ($18.3 million, net of income taxes) during the year ended December 31, 2021, which was included in income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, in our Consolidated Statement of Operations, based on the Company’s assessment that a settlement was probable and the estimated costs to resolve this action. To date, the Company has funded $17.5 million in connection with the settlement and refined certain estimates, resulting in a remaining liability of $7.7 million as of September 30, 2023.

Certain amounts involved in the settlement cannot be precisely determined at this time as the actual number of qualifying ET Plus systems that will be replaced as part of the settlement is not currently known. Consequently, the corresponding liability will be periodically reviewed and adjusted, when appropriate, for a number of factors, including differences between actual and estimated costs. The accrual and related range of reasonably possible loss related to this matter are included in the amounts described below under "Other matters."

Product liability cases

The Company is currently defending product liability lawsuits that are alleged to involve the ET Plus as well as other products manufactured by THP. 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".

Train Derailment

On February 3, 2023, a Norfolk Southern Railway freight train derailed 38 railcars in East Palestine, Ohio. In March 2023, the State of Ohio and the United States Environmental Protection Agency filed lawsuits against Norfolk Southern Railway Company and Norfolk Southern Corporation (“Norfolk Southern”), which were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division in a civil action styled The State of Ohio, ex rel., Dave Yost, Ohio Attorney General, and the United States of America, Plaintiffs v. Norfolk Southern Railway Company and Norfolk Southern Corporation, Defendants, Civil Action No. 4:23-cv-00517. In this action, on June 30, 2023, Norfolk Southern filed a third-party complaint against the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, TILC. TILC was served with this lawsuit on July 17, 2023. Norfolk Southern also named as third-party defendants in this action Oxy Vinyls LP, GATX Corporation, General American Marks Company, SMBC Rail Services LLC, Dow Chemical Incorporated, and Union Tank Car Company. Norfolk Southern asserts third-party claims against TILC for recovery of response costs, contribution, and declaratory relief under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA"); negligence; and equitable contribution. TILC was the owner of one tank car cited in this action, which was leased to a third party, who is also a third-party defendant in the litigation. On September 15, 2023, TILC filed a motion to dismiss Norfolk Southern’s third-party complaint.

Table of Contents

In April 2023, multiple putative class action lawsuits filed against Norfolk Southern were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division in a civil action styled In re: East Palestine Train Derailment, Civil Action No. 4:23-CV-00242. In this action, on July 25, 2023, Norfolk Southern filed a third-party complaint against the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, TILC. Norfolk Southern also named as third-party defendants in this action Oxy Vinyls LP, GATX Corporation, and General American Marks Company. Norfolk Southern asserts third-party claims against TILC for negligence, joint and several liability, and contribution. On August 14, 2023, plaintiffs filed a First Amended Master Consolidated Class Action Complaint and Jury Demand (“First Amended Complaint”) asserting direct claims for negligence, gross negligence, and medical monitoring against Oxy Vinyls LP, GATX Corporation, General American Marks Company, and TILC. On September 15, 2023, TILC filed a motion to dismiss Norfolk Southern’s third-party complaint, and on September 26, 2023, TILC filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint. TILC was the owner of one tank car cited in this action, which was leased to a third party, who is also a third-party defendant in the litigation.

The Company believes that the third-party claims and direct claims asserted against TILC in these matters are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against all allegations. The Company or its subsidiaries could be named in similar litigation involving other plaintiffs, but the ultimate number of claims and the jurisdiction(s) in which such claims, if any, may be filed may vary. We do not believe at this time that a loss is probable in either matter, nor can a range of losses be determined. Accordingly, no accrual or range of loss has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company maintains liability insurance coverage to protect the Company’s assets from losses arising from these types of litigation.

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 $22.5 million to $33.7 million, which includes our rights to indemnity and recourse to third parties of approximately $14.0 million, which is recorded in other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023. This range includes any amounts related to the Highway Products litigation matters described above in the section titled “Highway products litigation." At September 30, 2023, total accruals of $22.9 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 $1.0 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.

Georgia tornado

On March 26, 2021, a tornado damaged the Company’s rail maintenance facility in Cartersville, Georgia. We incurred costs related to cleanup and damage remediation activities in order for the facility to resume operations in the second quarter of 2021. We believe our insurance coverage is sufficient to cover property damage costs related to the event. To date, we have received total advanced payments from insurance of approximately $32.7 million, which includes $8.1 million for reimbursement of cleanup and damage remediation expenditures. As of September 30, 2023, we have utilized $23.4 million of the advanced payments from insurance towards new capital expenditures in support of the reconstruction efforts.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded gains of $3.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively, for property damage insurance recoveries received in excess of the net book value of assets destroyed, which is included in the gains on dispositions of other property line in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Any additional property damage insurance proceeds received in excess of the net book value of property lost will be accounted for as gains in future quarters.

Company Overview

Trinity Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Trinity,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or "us") own businesses that are leading providers of rail transportation products and services in North America. We market our railcar products and services under the trade name TrinityRail®. The TrinityRail platform provides railcar leasing and management services; railcar manufacturing, maintenance and modifications; and other railcar logistics products and services.

We report our operating results in two reportable segments: (1) the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group (the "Leasing Group"), which owns and operates a fleet of railcars and provides third-party fleet leasing, management, and administrative services, as well as other railcar logistics products and services; and (2) the Rail Products Group, which manufactures and sells railcars and related parts and components, and provides railcar maintenance and modification services.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we completed the sale of Trinity Highway Products, LLC (“THP”) to Rush Hour Intermediate II, LLC ("Rush Hour"), an entity owned by an affiliated investment fund of Monomoy Capital Partners. Upon completion of the sale, the accounting requirements for reporting THP as a discontinued operation were met. In connection with the sale of THP, we agreed to indemnify Rush Hour for certain liabilities related to the ET-Plus® System, a highway guardrail end-terminal system (the “ET Plus”). Consequently, expenses incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and that may be incurred in the future related to these retained obligations, will be reported in discontinued operations. See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to the sale of THP and Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding the retained liabilities.

Executive Summary

Recent Market Developments

U.S.-Mexico Border Congestion

On September 20, 2023, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency (“CBP”) suspended U.S. bound cross-border rail traffic in Eagle Pass, Texas, the primary border crossing used for railcar deliveries from our manufacturing facilities in Mexico. According to the CBP, this action was taken to assist U.S. Border Patrol due to the recent influx of migrants at the border. While rail traffic operations resumed on September 23, congestion and rail traffic challenges continue to evolve. The closing of the U.S.-Mexico border by the U.S. CBP negatively impacted our third quarter railcar deliveries. Additionally, increased state vehicle inspections have resulted in truck traffic congestion, negatively impacting our supply chain. We are actively monitoring rail and truck traffic as both continue to be impacted. We remain in close contact with all stakeholders, including the relevant government agencies, and continue to evaluate available alternatives for rail and truck transportation between Mexico and the United States. Continued rail and truck congestion at the border could negatively impact our deliveries and supply chain until the congestion is resolved.

Cyclical, Seasonal and Other Trends Impacting Our Business

Although lease rates and lease fleet utilization continue to improve, the industries in which our customers operate are cyclical in nature. Weaknesses in certain sectors of the North American and global economy may make it more difficult to sell or lease certain types of railcars. Additionally, changes in certain commodity prices, or changes in demand for certain commodities, could impact customer demand for various types of railcars. Further, disruptions in the global supply chain have impacted demand for, and the costs of, certain of our products and services.

We continuously assess demand for our products and services and take steps to rationalize and diversify our leased railcar portfolio and align our operating capacity appropriately. We 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. We continue to believe that our rail platform is able to respond to cyclical changes in demand and perform throughout the railcar cycle.

We are exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in our Mexico operations resulting from certain expenditures that are denominated in the Mexican peso. We have entered into hedging transactions to mitigate the foreign currency impact of a portion of our peso-denominated expenditures; however, the magnitude of the peso's strengthening relative to the United States dollar during the first half of 2023 unfavorably impacted the operating results in our Rail Products Group during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Additionally, we have experienced increases in the costs of steel, components, and certain other inputs that represent a substantial portion of our cost of revenues. We typically use contract-specific purchasing practices, existing supplier commitments, contractual price escalation provisions, and other arrangements with our customers to reduce the impact of the volatility of certain input costs on our operating profit. Further, the cost and volume of lease fleet maintenance and compliance events have increased, and we expect elevated levels of these activities to continue in the near term. Finally, although we remain committed to attracting and retaining a highly skilled and diverse workforce, challenging labor market conditions and increases in labor costs have negatively impacted our operations. We continue to monitor the impact of potential margin and operating profit headwinds resulting from these factors.

As a result of disruptions in the global supply chain, we have continued to experience shortages of materials used to manufacture or repair certain railcar types, as well as disruptions in the transportation network used to deliver our products, which have impacted our ability to timely deliver these railcars to our customers. While we believe these challenges will be resolved over time, they may persist over the foreseeable future, which could continue to impact our operations. We will continue to monitor the situation and take appropriate steps within our control to mitigate the potential impacts on our production schedules and delivery timelines.

Due to their transactional nature, lease portfolio sales are the primary driver of fluctuations in results in the Leasing Group.

Discussion of Consolidated Results

Revenues – Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $821.3 million, representing an increase of $324.7 million, or 65.4%, over the prior year period. Our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $2,185.4 million, representing an increase of $799.3 million, or 57.7%, over the prior year period. The increases in revenues were primarily due to a higher volume of external deliveries in the Rail Products Group and improved lease rates, higher utilization, and the impact of the acquisition of RSI Logistics ("RSI") in the Leasing Group.

Cost of revenues – Our cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $679.5 million, representing an increase of $284.2 million, or 71.9%, over the prior year period. Our cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1,819.2 million, representing an increase of $699.8 million, or 62.5%, over the prior year period. The increases in cost of revenues were primarily due to a higher volume of external deliveries and the impact of foreign currency fluctuations in the Rail Products Group. Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was further impacted by operational and labor-related inefficiencies in the Rail Products Group.

Table of Contents

Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses – Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $49.1 million, representing an increase of $1.1 million, or 2.3%, when compared to the prior year period. Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $153.3 million, representing an increase of $15.6 million, or 11.3%, when compared to the prior year period. These increases were primarily due to higher employee-related costs.

Gains on dispositions of property – Gains on dispositions of property decreased by $31.9 million and $39.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods primarily due to lower lease portfolio sales volume in the current year periods, as well as gains associated with the disposition of certain non-operating facilities in the prior year periods. Additionally, we recorded gains of $3.7 million and $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and gains of $4.9 million and $7.5 million during nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to insurance recoveries in excess of net book value for assets damaged by a tornado at the Company’s rail maintenance facility in Cartersville, Georgia. See Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Operating profit – Operating profit for the three months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $100.2 million, representing an increase of $7.5 million, or 8.1%, from the prior year period. Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $268.3 million, representing an increase of $47.8 million, or 21.7%, from the prior year period. These increases were primarily due to a higher volume of external deliveries in the Rail Products Group and improved lease rates and higher utilization in the Leasing Group, partially offset by lower lease portfolio sales volume in the current year periods and higher employee-related and other operating costs across the enterprise. Operating profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was favorably impacted by insurance recoveries related to a tornado at the Company’s rail maintenance facility in Cartersville, Georgia in the first quarter of 2021.

For further information regarding the operating results of individual segments, see "Segment Discussion" below.

Interest expense, net – Interest expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $68.8 million, compared to $55.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by higher average debt due to the issuance of the Senior Notes due 2028 and the TRL-2023 term loan in June 2023, as well as higher interest rates.

Interest expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled $197.8 million, compared to $148.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by higher variable interest rates and higher average debt due to the issuance of the Senior Notes due 2028 and the TRL-2023 term loan in June 2023.

Income taxes – The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was an expense of 18.6%, which differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes, foreign income taxes, non-deductible executive compensation, excess tax benefits associated with equity-based compensation, taxes not recorded on our non-controlling interests in partially-owned subsidiaries, and the remeasurement of deferred tax liabilities due to state tax law changes and rate reductions enacted during the third quarter.

Table of Contents

Leasing and management operating profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased by 16.2% and 11.8%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods primarily due to improved lease rates and higher utilization, partially offset by higher maintenance costs and increased depreciation and selling, engineering, and administrative expenses. Leasing Group operating profit decreased by 17.9% and 0.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the prior year periods primarily due to lower lease portfolio sales volume in the current year periods.

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 recourse debt such as equipment trust certificates; long-term non-recourse promissory notes; or third-party equity.

Includes sustainable railcar conversion revenues of $28.9 million, representing 300 railcars, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and sustainable railcar conversion revenues of $117.9 million, representing 1,230 railcars, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Revenues for the Rail Products Group increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 by 14.2% and 43.0%, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, revenues in our rail products business increased as a result of higher deliveries and a favorable mix of railcars sold. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenues in our rail products business increased as a result of higher deliveries, partially offset by the mix of railcars sold. Revenues in our maintenance services business increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of higher volumes and favorable pricing, partially offset by the mix of repairs. Increases in other revenues were driven by the growth of our parts business as a result of the acquisition of Holden America.

Cost of revenues for the Rail Products Group increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 by 13.3% and 41.2%, respectively, when compared to the prior year periods. In our rail products business, the increase in cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was driven by higher deliveries and the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cost of revenues in our rail products business was further impacted by operational inefficiencies associated with production line changeovers and supply chain disruptions, and labor inefficiencies associated with onboarding of new employees. In our maintenance services business, cost of revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of a higher volume of general repairs and the mix of repairs and continues to be impacted by labor shortages leading to operating inefficiencies.

Operating profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was favorably impacted by higher deliveries, partially offset by the mix of railcars sold and the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was further impacted by operational and labor inefficiencies. Additionally, operating profit was favorably impacted by gains of $3.7 million and $4.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and gains of $1.1 million and $7.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, related to insurance recoveries in excess of net book value for assets damaged by a tornado at the Company’s rail maintenance facility in Cartersville, Georgia in the first quarter of 2021.

(2) The adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes 160 railcars valued at $19.2 million that were placed with a different customer and are also included in orders received in the table above, resulting in no net effect on ending backlog. The adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes 300 railcars valued at $34.6 million that were removed from the new railcar backlog and shifted to the sustainable railcar conversion backlog.

Total backlog dollars decreased by 12.0% when compared to the prior year period. The ending backlog as of September 30, 2022 included approximately $1.8 billion associated with a long-term railcar supply agreement with GATX. We expect to deliver approximately 17.2% of our railcar backlog value during the remaining three months of 2023 and 39.6% during 2024, with the remainder to be delivered through 2028. The orders in our backlog from the Leasing Group are fully supported by lease commitments with external customers. The final amount of backlog attributable to the Leasing Group may vary by the time of delivery as customers may elect to change their procurement decision.

Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 0.4% and 13.9%, respectively, compared to the prior year periods primarily from higher employee-related costs. Additionally, selling, engineering, and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 include the change in estimated fair value of additional contingent consideration associated with an acquisition. Total operating costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were favorably impacted by gains associated with the disposition of non-operating facilities. As we continue to streamline our operational footprint, we may have additional gains or losses on the disposition of other non-operating facilities.

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 loan facility, senior notes, convertible subordinated notes, asset-backed securities, non-recourse promissory notes, and our revolving credit facility.

As of September 30, 2023, we have total committed liquidity of $780.0 million. Our total available liquidity includes: $114.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents; $561.2 million unused and available under our revolving credit facility; and $104.8 million unused and available under the TILC warehouse loan facility 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

Revolving Credit Facility – In March 2023, we amended our revolving credit facility to increase the total facility commitment from $450.0 million to $600.0 million, increase the maximum leverage ratio to provide additional flexibility, modify the limitations on restricted payments, and allow up to $100.0 million of annual dividends on the Company's common stock. See Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this amendment.

TRL-2023 Term Loan – In June 2023, TRL-2023 entered into a $340.0 million term loan agreement. The TRL-2023 term loan bears interest at a variable rate of daily simple SOFR plus (1) a benchmark adjustment of 10 basis points and (2) a facility margin of 1.80%. The TRL-2023 term loan has a stated maturity date of June 2028. Net proceeds received from the transaction were used to repay borrowings under TILC's warehouse loan facility and for general corporate purposes.

Senior Notes Due 2028 – In June 2023, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% senior notes due July 2028. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2028 is payable semiannually commencing January 15, 2024. Net proceeds received from the issuance were used to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and to pay related fees, costs, premiums, and expenses in connection with the issuance. We intend to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of other debt, including our Senior Notes due 2024.

Dividend Payments – We paid $64.7 million in dividends to our common stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Share Repurchase Authorization – In December 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program effective December 9, 2022 with no expiration. The new share repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $250.0 million of its common stock. There were no shares repurchased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included financial measures compiled in accordance with GAAP and certain non-GAAP measures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to provide management and investors with additional information regarding our financial results. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. For each non-GAAP financial measure, we provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Adjusted Free Cash Flow After Investments and Dividends ("Adjusted Free Cash Flow") is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe Adjusted Free Cash Flow is useful to both management and investors as it provides a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing our ability to fund our operations and repay our debt. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is reconciled to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, in the following table.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations as computed in accordance with GAAP, plus cash proceeds from lease portfolio sales, less capital expenditures for manufacturing, dividends paid, and Equity CapEx for leased railcars. Equity CapEx for leased railcars is defined as leasing capital expenditures, adjusted to exclude net proceeds from (repayments of) recourse and non-recourse debt.
