NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. Description of Business
As
used herein, "GATX,""we,""us,""our," and similar terms refer to GATX Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless indicated otherwise.
We lease, operate, manage, and remarket long-lived, widely used assets, primarily in the rail market. We report our financial results through ithree primary business segments: Rail North America, Rail International,
and Portfolio Management. Financial results for our tank container leasing business ("Trifleet Leasing") are reported in the Other segment.
In the first quarter of 2023, we sold our rail business in Russia ("Rail Russia") within the Rail International segment. The net assets of Rail Russia had been reported as held for sale since the third quarter of 2022. See "Note 6. Asset Impairments and Assets Held for Sale" for further information.
In the first quarter of 2023, we sold ione
of our liquefied gas-carrying vessels (the "Specialized Gas Vessels") within the Portfolio Management segment. We had previously sold itwo vessels in the third quarter of 2022. The remaining itwo
vessels are classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2023.
NOTE 2. iBasis of Presentation
We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. We have included all of the normal recurring adjustments that we deemed necessary for a fair presentation.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results we may achieve for the entire year ending December 31, 2023. In particular, asset remarketing income does not occur evenly throughout the year. For more information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

NOTE 3. iRevenue
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the
promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
We disaggregate revenue into three categories as presented on our statement of comprehensive income:
Lease Revenue
Lease revenue, which includes operating lease revenue and finance lease revenue, is our primary source of revenue.
Operating Lease Revenue
We lease railcars, aircraft spare engines, tank containers, and other operating assets under full-service and net operating leases.
We price full-service leases as an integrated service that includes amounts related to maintenance, insurance, and ad valorem taxes. We do not offer stand-alone maintenance service contracts. Operating lease revenue is within the scope of Topic 842, and we have elected not to separate non-lease components from the associated lease component for qualifying leases. Operating lease revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the underlying lease. As a result, lease revenue may not be recognized in the same period as maintenance and other costs, which we expense as incurred. Variable rents are recognized when applicable contingencies are resolved. Revenue is not recognized if collectability is not reasonably assured. See "Note 4. Leases".
Finance Lease Revenue
In
certain cases, we lease railcars and tank containers that, at lease inception, are classified as finance leases. In accordance with Topic 842, finance lease revenue is recognized using the interest method, which produces a constant yield over the lease term. Initial unearned income is the amount by which the original lease payment receivable and the estimated residual value of the leased asset exceeds the original cost or carrying value of the leased asset. See "Note 4. Leases".
Marine Operating Revenue
We generate marine operating revenue through shipping services completed by our marine vessels. For vessels operating in a pooling arrangement, we recognize pool revenue based on the right to receive our portion of net distributions reported by the pool, with net distributions being the net voyage
revenue of the pool after deduction of voyage expenses. For vessels operating out of the pool, we recognize revenue over time as the performance obligation is satisfied, beginning when cargo is loaded through its delivery and discharge.
Other Revenue
Other revenue is composed of customer liability repair revenue, termination fees, revenue from aircraft spare engines utilized in an engine capacity agreement, and other miscellaneous revenues. Select components of other revenue are within the scope of Topic 606. Revenue attributable to terms provided in our lease contracts are variable lease components that are recognized when earned, in accordance with Topic 842.
NOTE
4. Leases
GATX as Lessor
We lease railcars, aircraft spare engines, tank containers, and other operating assets under full-service and net operating leases. We price full-service leases as an integrated service that includes amounts related to maintenance, insurance, and ad valorem taxes. In accordance with applicable guidance, we do not separate lease and non-lease components when reporting revenue for our full-service operating leases. In some cases, we lease railcars and tank containers that, at lease inception, are classified as finance leases. For certain operating leases, revenue is based on equipment usage and is recognized when earned. Typically, our leases do not provide customers with renewal options or options to purchase the asset. Our lease agreements do not generally have residual value
guarantees. We collect reimbursements from customers for damage to our railcars, as well as additional rental payments for usage above specified levels, as provided in the lease agreements.

NOTE 5. Fair Value
The assets and liabilities that GATX records at fair value on a recurring basis consisted entirely of derivatives at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
In addition, we review long-lived assets, such as operating assets and facilities, investments in affiliates, and goodwill, for impairment whenever circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of these assets may not be recoverable or when assets may be classified as held for sale. We determine the fair value of the respective assets using Level 3 inputs, including estimates of discounted future cash flows (including net proceeds from sale), independent appraisals, and market comparables, as applicable. See "Note 6. Asset Impairments and Assets Held for Sale" for further information.
Derivative Instruments
Fair Value Hedges
We use interest rate swaps to manage the fixed-to-floating rate mix of our debt obligations by converting a portion of our fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. For fair value hedges, we recognize changes in fair value of both the derivative and the
hedged item as interest expense. We had ifour instruments outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $i200.0 million
as of March 31, 2023 with maturities ranging from 2025 to 2027 and ifour instruments outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $i200.0
million as of December 31, 2022 with maturities ranging from 2025 to 2027.
Cash Flow Hedges
We use Treasury rate locks and swap rate locks to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk on anticipated transactions. We also use currency swaps, forwards, and put/call options to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies for certain loans and operating expenses denominated in non-functional currencies. We had ithirteen
instruments outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $i141.9 million as of March 31, 2023 that mature in 2023 and ione
instrument outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $i110.1 million as of December 31, 2022 that matures in 2023. Within the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify $i1.6
million ($i1.2 million after-tax) of net losses on previously terminated derivatives from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense. We reclassify these amounts when interest and operating lease expense on the related hedged transactions affect earnings.
Non-Designated Derivatives
We do not hold derivative financial
instruments for purposes other than hedging, although certain of our derivatives are not designated as accounting hedges. We recognize changes in the fair value of these derivatives in other expense immediately.
Certain of our derivative instruments contain credit risk provisions that could require us to make immediate payment on net liability positions in the event that we default on certain outstanding debt obligations. The aggregate fair value of our derivative instruments with credit risk related contingent features that were in a liability position as of March 31, 2023 was $i11.4
million. We are not required to post any collateral on our derivative instruments and do not expect the credit risk provisions to be triggered.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (Continued)
In the event that a counterparty fails to meet the terms of an interest rate swap agreement or a foreign exchange contract, our exposure is limited to the fair value of the swap, if in our favor. We manage the
credit risk of counterparties by transacting with institutions that we consider financially sound and by avoiding concentrations of risk with a single counterparty. We believe that the risk of non-performance by any of our counterparties is remote.
i
The following table shows our derivative assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value (in millions):
We value derivatives using a pricing model with inputs (such as yield curves and foreign currency rates) that are observable in the market or that can be derived principally from observable market data. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all derivatives were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. There were no derivatives classified as Level 1 or Level 3.

Other Financial Instruments
Except for derivatives, as disclosed above, GATX has no other assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rent and other receivables, accounts payable, and commercial paper and borrowings under bank credit facilities with maturities under one year approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments. There
were no short-term investments at March 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, short-term investments of $i148.5 million consisted of U.S. Treasury securities, which were classified as held-to-maturity and valued at amortized cost.
We estimate the fair values of fixed and floating rate debt using discounted cash flow analyses that are based on interest rates currently offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers
of similar credit quality. The inputs we use to estimate each of these values are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because they are directly or indirectly observable inputs.

NOTE 6. Asset Impairments and Assets Held for Sale
In the third quarter of 2022 we made the decision to exit Rail Russia, which is reported within the Rail International segment. The net assets of Rail Russia were then classified as held for sale and adjusted to the lower of their respective carrying amounts or fair value less costs to dispose. As a result, we recorded impairment losses totaling $i14.6 million
in 2022, which are presented in net asset dispositions in the statements of comprehensive income. The impairment charges included $i1.2 million for the anticipated liquidation of the cumulative translation adjustment. In the first quarter of 2023, we completed the sale of Rail Russia and recorded a gain of $i0.3 million,
which is presented in net gain on asset dispositions in the statements of comprehensive income.
In the second quarter of 2022, we made the decision to sell our five Specialized Gas Vessels within the Portfolio Management segment. The Specialized Gas Vessels were classified as held for sale and adjusted to the lower of their respective carrying amounts or fair value less costs to dispose. As a result, we recorded impairment losses totaling $i34.3 million in 2022. The impairments were driven by our decision
to sell these vessels and resulted from the associated change in our expected use and holding periods for these assets. We sold itwo vessels in the third quarter of 2022. In the first quarter of 2023, we sold ione
vessel, resulting in a loss on disposition of $0.4 million, and recorded an impairment loss of $i1.2 million on one of the itwo remaining vessels. The impairment loss was included
in net gain on asset dispositions in the statements of comprehensive income. The itwo remaining vessels continue to be classified as held for sale and their fair value was $i15.2
million as of March 31, 2023. We based the fair value of these assets on our estimate of the expected net sales proceeds.

increase in the effective rate for the current year compared to the prior year is primarily due to a benefit in the prior year related to the reduction of the statutory tax rate of Austria, as well as less benefit associated with equity awards vested or exercised during the current year. Both years are impacted by the mix of pre-tax income among domestic and foreign jurisdictions, which are taxed at different rates.

10. iCommercial Commitments
We have entered into various commercial commitments, such as guarantees, standby letters of credit, performance bonds, and guarantees related to certain transactions. These commercial commitments require us to fulfill specific obligations in the event of third-party demands. Similar to our balance sheet investments, these commitments expose us to credit, market, and equipment risk. Accordingly, we evaluate these commitments and other contingent obligations using techniques similar to those we use
to evaluate funded transactions.

We are parties to standby letters of credit and performance bonds, which primarily relate to contractual obligations and general liability insurance coverages. No material claims have been made against these obligations, and no material losses are anticipated. We also guarantee payment by an affiliate for final
settlement of certain derivatives if they are in a liability position at expiration. The amount of the payment is ultimately determined by the value of the derivative upon final settlement.
NOTE 11. iEarnings per Share
We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income available to our common shareholders
by the weighted-average number of shares of our common stock outstanding. We weight shares issued or reacquired for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. Our diluted earnings per share reflect the impacts of our potentially dilutive securities, which include our equity compensation awards.

14. Financial Data of Business Segments
The financial data presented below depicts the profitability, financial position, and capital expenditures of each of our business segments.
We lease, operate, manage, and remarket long-lived, widely used assets, primarily in the rail market. We report our financial results through ithreeprimary
business segments: Rail North America, Rail International, and Portfolio Management. Financial results for Trifleet Leasing are reported in the Other segment.
Rail North America is composed of our operations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Rail North America primarily provides railcars pursuant to full-service leases under which it maintains the railcars, pays ad valorem taxes and insurance, and provides other ancillary services.
Rail International is composed of our operations in Europe ("GATX Rail Europe" or "GRE"), India ("Rail India"), and until January 31, 2023, Rail Russia. GRE primarily leases railcars to customers throughout Europe pursuant to full-service leases under
which it maintains the railcars and provides value-added services according to customer requirements. In the first quarter of 2023, we completed the sale of Rail Russia. See "Note 6. Asset Impairments and Assets Held for Sale" for further information.
Portfolio Management is composed primarily of our ownership in the RRPF affiliates, a group of joint ventures with Rolls-Royce plc that lease aircraft spare engines, GEL, our direct ownership of aircraft spare engines that we lease, and liquefied gas carrying vessels (the "Specialized Gas Vessels"). GATX sold itwo
Specialized Gas Vessels in the third quarter of 2022 and ione vessel in the first quarter of 2023. The itwo remaining vessels continue to be
classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2023. See "Note 6. Asset Impairments and Assets Held for Sale" for further information.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
We lease, operate, manage, and remarket long-lived, widely used assets, primarily in the rail market. We report our financial results through three primary
business segments: Rail North America, Rail International, and Portfolio Management. Financial results for our tank container leasing business ("Trifleet Leasing") are reported in the Other segment.
In the first quarter of 2023, we sold our rail business in Russia ("Rail Russia") within the Rail International segment. The net assets of Rail Russia had been reported as held for sale since the third quarter of 2022.
In the first quarter of 2023, we sold one of our liquefied gas-carrying vessels (the "Specialized Gas Vessels") within the Portfolio Management segment. We had previously sold two vessels in the third quarter of 2022. The remaining two vessels continue to be classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2023.
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. We based the discussion and analysis that follows on financial data we derived from the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Standards ("GAAP") and on certain other financial data that we prepared using non-GAAP components. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP components to the most comparable GAAP components, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the end of this item.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results we may achieve for the entire
year ending December 31, 2023. In particular, asset remarketing income does not occur evenly throughout the year. For more information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Russia/Ukraine Conflict
On February 24, 2022, Russian military forces launched a military action in Ukraine. In response to this action, the United States and other countries imposed various economic sanctions and measures against Russia, Belarus, certain sections of Ukraine, and related persons and entities. Russia subsequently enacted countermeasures.
Additional sanctions and countermeasures have continued to be imposed as the conflict continues. We continue to closely monitor developments and potential impacts from enacted sanctions and countermeasures and will take mitigating actions as appropriate. This conflict and resulting response have impacted the global economy, financial markets, and supply chains and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
To date, the conflict has not had a material impact on business operations at our global railcar, aircraft spare engine, and tank container leasing businesses outside of Russia. Furthermore, the nature of the impact on financial results varies across our business units, including RRPF. Higher steel prices have led to higher new asset costs across our rail and tank container leasing businesses, a trend that supports higher lease rates on many existing assets
but makes new investments more challenging. Supply chain disruptions, slower new railcar deliveries, and limited access to key components such as wheelsets have been more impactful in Europe and India. We continue to monitor the nature and magnitude of these impacts across our rail and tank container leasing businesses.
In 2022, after a thorough strategic review, we made the decision to exit Rail Russia. This decision was due to the impacts of the Russia/Ukraine conflict on our business and the business risks associated with the geopolitical environment resulting from that conflict. In the first quarter or 2023, we completed the sale of Rail Russia.
DISCUSSION OF OPERATING RESULTS
Net
income for the first quarter of 2023 was $77.4 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, compared to $75.8 million, or $2.10 per diluted share, in 2022. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included a net negative impact of $1.3 million ($0.04 per diluted share) from tax adjustments and other items, compared to a net negative impact of $8.5 million ($0.24 per diluted share) from tax adjustments and other items for the three months ended March 31, 2022. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the end of this item for further details. Excluding the impact of these items, net income decreased $5.6 million compared to the prior year, largely due to lower asset disposition gains at Rail North America, partially offset by higher share of affiliates' earnings at the RRPF affiliates.

RAIL
NORTH AMERICA
Segment Summary
Consistent with expectations, conditions in the North American railcar leasing market remained strong in the quarter. Demand for existing railcars continued to be robust for most railcar types, and Rail North America continued to capitalize on current market conditions by increasing renewal lease rates and lengthening lease terms. Rail North America acquired over 1,000 railcars in the secondary market in the first quarter, all on long-term leases with attractive rates. Utilization was 99.3% at the end of the quarter.

(1)
Utilization is calculated as the number of railcars on lease as a percentage of total railcars in the fleet.
(2) The renewal success rate represents the percentage of railcars on expiring leases that were renewed with the existing lessee. The renewal success rate is an important metric because railcars returned by our customers may remain idle or incur additional maintenance and freight costs prior to being leased to new customers.
(3) Active railcars refers to the number of railcars on lease to customers. Changes in railcars on lease compared to prior quarters are impacted by the utilization of new railcars purchased from builders or in the secondary market and the disposition of railcars that were sold or scrapped, as well as the fleet utilization rate.
(4) Average active railcars for the quarter is calculated using the number of active
railcars at the end of each month.
As of March 31, 2023, leases for approximately 15,600 tank and freight cars and approximately 1,100 boxcars are scheduled to expire over the remainder of 2023. These amounts exclude railcars on leases expiring in 2023 that have already been renewed or assigned to a new lessee.
In 2022 we entered into a new long-term railcar supply agreement with a subsidiary of Trinity Industries, Inc. ("Trinity") to purchase 15,000 newly built railcars through 2028, with an option to order up to an additional 500 railcars each year from 2023 to 2028. The agreement enables us to order a broad mix of tank and freight cars. Trinity will deliver 6,000 tank cars (1,200 per year) from 2024 through 2028. The remaining 9,000 railcars,
which can be a mix of freight and tank cars, will be ordered at a rate of 1,500 railcars per order year from 2023 to 2028 and delivered under a schedule to be determined. At March 31, 2023, 1,452 railcars have been ordered pursuant to the terms of the agreement, none of which have been delivered.
In 2018, we amended a long-term supply agreement with Trinity to extend the term to December 2023, and we agreed to purchase 4,800 tank cars (1,200 per year) beginning in January 2020 and continuing through 2023. At March 31, 2023, 4,574 railcars have been ordered pursuant to the amended terms of the agreement, of which 3,871 railcars have been delivered.
In 2018, we entered into a multi-year railcar supply agreement
with American Railcar Industries, Inc. ("ARI"), pursuant to which we agreed to purchase 7,650 newly built railcars. The order encompasses a mix of tank and freight cars to be delivered over a five-year period, beginning in April 2019 and ending in December 2023. ARI's railcar manufacturing business was acquired by a subsidiary of The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. ("Greenbrier") on July 26, 2019, and such subsidiary assumed all of ARI's obligations under our long-term supply agreement. As of March 31, 2023, 7,650 railcars have been ordered, of which 6,277 railcars have been delivered. All railcars covered under this agreement are expected to be delivered by early 2024.
20
Lease
Price Index
Our Lease Price Index ("LPI") is an internally-generated business indicator that measures lease rate pricing on renewals for our North American railcar fleet, excluding boxcars. We calculate the index using the weighted-average lease rate for a group of railcar types that we believe best represents our overall North American fleet, excluding boxcars. The average renewal lease rate change is reported as the percentage change between the average renewal lease rate and the average expiring lease rate, weighted by fleet composition. The average renewal lease term is reported in months and reflects the average renewal lease term of railcar types in the LPI, weighted by fleet composition.
During the first quarter of 2023, the renewal rate change of the LPI was positive 34.3%, compared to positive
29.7% in the prior quarter, and positive 9.3% in the first quarter of 2022. Lease terms on renewals for cars in the LPI averaged 37months in the current quarter, compared to 34 months in the prior quarter, and 30 months in the first quarter of 2022.

Comparison of Reported Results
Segment Profit
In the first quarter of 2023, segment profit of $95.2 million decreased 20.9% compared to $120.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower net gains on asset dispositions, higher maintenance expense, and higher interest expense, partially offset by higher lease revenue. The amount and timing of disposition gains is dependent on a number of factors and will vary from
year to year.
22
Revenues
In the first quarter of 2023, lease revenue increased $14.4 million, or 7.2%, driven by higher lease rates. Other revenue increased $0.8 million, primarily due to higher repair revenue.
Expenses
In the first quarter of 2023, maintenance expense increased $7.0 million. The increase was largely due to more repair events and higher costs, as well as more repairs performed by the railroads. Depreciation expense increased $2.0 million due to more railcars in the fleet during the current year. Other
operating expense decreased $0.3 million due to lower insurance and storage expense, partially offset by higher switching and freight costs.
Other Income (Expense)
In the first quarter of 2023, net gain on asset dispositions decreased $23.8 million largely due to fewer railcars and locomotives sold and lower net scrapping gains as a result of fewer railcars scrapped. The amount and timing of disposition gains is dependent on a number of factors and will vary from quarter to quarter. Net interest expense increased $7.9 million, driven by a higher average debt balance and a higher average interest rate.
Investment Volume
During the first three months of 2023, investment volume was
$296.5 million compared to $280.4 million in the same period in 2022. We acquired 781 newly built railcars and purchased 1,021 railcars in the secondary market in the first three months of 2023, compared to 1,622 newly built railcars and no railcars in the secondary market in the same period in 2022.
Our investment volume is predominantly composed of acquired railcars, but also includes certain capitalized repairs and improvements to owned railcars and our maintenance facilities. As a result, the dollar value of investment volume does not necessarily correspond to the number of railcars acquired in any given period. In addition, the comparability of amounts invested and the number of railcars acquired in each period is impacted by the mix of railcars purchased, which may include tank cars and freight cars, as well as newly manufactured railcars or those purchased in the secondary market.
23
RAIL
INTERNATIONAL
Segment Summary
Rail International, composed primarily of GATX Rail Europe ("GRE"), produced solid operating results in the first three months of 2023 and continued to grow its fleet. GRE experienced renewal lease rate increases for most railcar types in the quarter.
Our rail operations in India ("Rail India") continued to focus on investment opportunities, diversification of its fleet, and developing relationships with customers, suppliers and the Indian Railways.
In the first quarter of 2023, we sold Rail Russia and recorded a gain of $0.3 million upon completion of the sale. The net assets of Rail Russia had
been classified as held for sale, and we recorded impairment losses of $14.6 million in 2022. See "Note 6. Asset Impairments and Assets Held for Sale " in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further information.

(1) Utilization is calculated as the number of railcars on lease as a percentage of total railcars in the fleet.
(2) Active railcars refers to the number of railcars on lease to customers. Changes in railcars on lease compared to prior quarters are impacted by the utilization of newly built
railcars and the disposition of railcars that were sold or scrapped, as well as the fleet utilization rate.
(3) Average active railcars for the quarter is calculated using the number of active railcars at the end of each month.
Comparison of Reported Results
Foreign Currency
Rail International's reported results of operations are impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar versus foreign currencies in which it conducts business, primarily the euro. In the first quarter of 2023, fluctuations in the value of the euro, relative to the U.S. dollar, negatively impacted lease revenue by approximately $3.0 million and segment profit, excluding other income (expense), by approximately $1.5 million compared
to the same period in 2022.
Segment Profit
In the first quarter of 2023, segment profit of $23.5 million decreased 5.6% compared to $24.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Segment profit in 2023 included a $0.3 million disposition gain recorded as a result of the decision to exit the Rail Russia business. Excluding this gain, results for Rail International were $1.7 million lower than 2022. The decrease was primarily due to changes in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by more railcars on lease and higher lease rates.
Revenues
In the first quarter of 2023, lease revenue increased $2.8 million, or 4.1%, due to more railcars
on lease and higher lease rates at GRE and Rail India, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates.
Expenses
In the first quarter of 2023, maintenance expense increased $1.9 million, due to more repairs performed and higher costs for repairs, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates. Depreciation expense decreased $2.3 million, due to certain operating assets at GRE becoming fully depreciated in the prior year, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates and the impact of new railcars added to the fleet.
Other Income (Expense)
In the first quarter of 2023, net gain on asset dispositions decreased $0.2 million, driven
by fewer railcars sold and lower net scrapping gains, partially offset by the gain on sale of Rail Russia. Net interest expense increased $1.3 million due to a higher average interest rate and a higher average debt balance. Other expense was unfavorable $3.9 million, driven by the negative impact of changes in foreign exchange rates.
26
Investment Volume
During the first three months of 2023, investment volume was $81.1 million compared to $78.9 million in the same period in 2022. In the first three months ended March 31, 2023, GRE acquired 502 newly built railcars compared to 225 newly built railcars
for the same period in 2022. In the first three months ended March 31, 2023, Rail India acquired 479 newly built railcars, compared to 368 newly built railcars for the same period in 2022.
Our investment volume is predominantly composed of acquired railcars, but also includes certain capitalized repairs and improvements to owned railcars. As a result, the dollar value of investment volume does not necessarily correspond to the number of railcars acquired in any given period. In addition, the comparability of amounts invested and the number of railcars acquired in each period is impacted by the mix of the various car types acquired, as well as fluctuations in the exchange rates of the foreign currencies in which Rail International conducts business.
PORTFOLIO
MANAGEMENT
Segment Summary
Portfolio Management's segment profit is attributable primarily to income from the RRPF affiliates, a group of 50% owned domestic and foreign joint ventures with Rolls-Royce plc (or affiliates thereof, collectively "Rolls-Royce"), a leading manufacturer of commercial aircraft jet engines. Segment profit included earnings from the RRPF affiliates of $28.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to losses of $4.8 million for the same period in 2022. In the first quarter of 2022, RRPF recorded an impairment charge associated with aircraft spare engines in Russia that RRPF does not expect to recover. GATX's 50% share of that net impairment was $15.3 million ($11.5 million after tax).
The
operating environment for the RRPF affiliates has gradually improved as global air travel continues to recover following the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the risk of ongoing volatility as a result of the uncertainty of the Russia/Ukraine conflict persists.
Portfolio Management also includes GEL, our wholly owned entity that invests directly in aircraft spare engines. In the fourth quarter of 2022, GEL acquired five aircraft spare engines for approximately $150 million. As of March 31, 2023, GEL owned 19 aircraft spare engines, with 14 on long-term leases with airline customers and five that are employed in an engine capacity agreement with Rolls-Royce for use in its engine maintenance programs. All engines at GEL are managed by the RRPF affiliates.
Portfolio
Management also owns the Specialized Gas Vessels. In 2022, we made the decision to sell the Specialized Gas Vessels and recorded impairment losses totaling $34.3 million. We sold two Specialized Gas Vessels in the third quarter of 2022. In the first quarter of 2023, we sold one vessel and recorded losses of $1.6 million associated with the sale of the vessel and impairment of one of the two remaining vessels. The two remaining vessels continue to be classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2023.

Comparison of Reported Results
Segment Profit
In the first quarter of 2023, segment profit was $28.3 million, compared to segment loss of $3.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Segment profit in 2023 included $1.6 million of losses associated with the Specialized Gas Vessels. Segment loss
in 2022 included a $15.3 million net impairment charge (GATX's 50% share) for aircraft spare engines in Russia that RRPF does not expect to recover. Excluding these items, results for Portfolio Management were $18.5 million higher than 2022, driven by higher share of affiliates' earnings at the RRPF affiliates.
Revenues
In the first quarter of 2023, lease revenue was comparable to the same period in the prior year. Marine operating revenue decreased $2.7 million, driven by the absence of revenue from the Specialized Gas Vessels sold in 2022.
29
Expenses
In
the first quarter of 2023, marine operating expense decreased $2.2 million, due to the absence of expense from the Specialized Gas Vessels sold in 2022. Depreciation expense increased $0.4 million, due to new aircraft spare engines acquired in 2022, offset by the absence of depreciation expense on the Specialized Gas Vessels due to the classification of the vessels as held for sale in 2022 and subsequent sales.
Other (Expense) Income
In the first quarter of 2023, net (loss) gain on asset dispositions was unfavorable by $2.4 million, driven by the impairment charges and loss on disposition recorded in the current year for the Specialized Gas Vessels.
In the first quarter of 2023, income from our share of affiliates' earnings
increased $32.8 million, driven by the absence of $15.3 million net impairment charge recorded in the prior year for aircraft spare engines in Russia that RRPF does not expect to recover, higher income from operations and remarketing income.
OTHER

SG&A, Unallocated Interest and Other
SG&A increased $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by higher employee-related expenses, higher discretionary travel and entertainment expenses, and higher information technology costs.
Unallocated interest income (the difference between external interest expense and interest expense allocated to the
reporting segments) in any year is affected by our consolidated leverage position, the timing of debt issuances and investing activities, and intercompany allocations.
Other income (expense), including eliminations was favorable by $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by lower pension-related expenses and the impact of foreign exchange rates on a foreign pension plan.
Consolidated Income Taxes
See "Note 9. Income Taxes" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
CASH FLOW
DISCUSSION
We generate a significant amount of cash from operating activities and investment portfolio proceeds. We also access domestic and international capital markets by issuing unsecured or secured debt and commercial paper. We use these resources, along with available cash balances, to fulfill our debt, lease, and dividend obligations, to support our share repurchase programs, and to fund portfolio investments and capital additions. We primarily use cash from operations to fund daily operations. The timing of asset dispositions and changes in working capital impact cash flows from portfolio proceeds and operations. As a result, these cash flow components may vary materially from quarter to quarter and year to year.
As of March 31, 2023, we had an
unrestricted cash balance of $177.4 million. We also have a $250 million 3-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the United States that matures in 2025 and a $600 million, 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the United States that matures in 2027, both of which are fully available as of March 31, 2023.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net
cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of 2023 of $95.0 million decreased $5.2 million compared to the same period in 2022. Comparability among reporting periods is impacted by the timing of changes in working capital items. Specifically, higher payments for interest and other operating expenses were offset by lower cash payments for operating leases and income taxes.

(2)
Portfolio proceeds primarily consist of proceeds from sales of operating assets.
(3) Proceeds from short-term U.S. Treasury Obligations with an original maturity date of over 90 days.
The increase in portfolio investments and capital additions of $16.6 million for the first three months of 2023 was primarily due to more railcars acquired at Rail North America and Rail International, partially offset by fewer tank containers acquired at Trifleet Leasing. The timing of investments depends on purchase commitments, transaction opportunities, and market conditions.
Portfolio proceeds decreased by $43.3 million for the first three months of 2023, resulting from fewer railcars sold at Rail North America, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of Rail Russia and
one of the Specialized Gas Vessels at Portfolio Management.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
We fund our investments and meet our debt, lease, and dividend obligations using our available cash balances, as well as cash generated from operating activities, sales of assets, commercial paper issuances, committed revolving credit facilities, distributions from affiliates, and issuances of secured and unsecured
debt. We primarily use cash from operations to fund daily operations. We use both domestic and international capital markets and banks to meet our debt financing needs.

Short-Term Borrowings
We primarily use short-term borrowings as a source of working capital and to temporarily fund differences between our operating cash flows and portfolio
proceeds, and our capital investments and debt maturities. We do not maintain or target any particular level of short-term borrowings on a permanent basis. Rather, we will temporarily utilize short-term borrowings at levels we deem appropriate until we decide to pay down these balances.

Credit Lines and Facilities
We have a $250 million 3-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the United States, expiring in May 2025. This credit facility contains one additional extension option. As of March 31, 2023, the full $250 million was available on this facility. Additionally we have a $600 million, 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the United States, expiring in May 2027. This credit facility contains one additional extension option as well. As of March 31, 2023,
the full $600 million was available under this facility.
Our European subsidiaries have unsecured credit facilities with an aggregate limit of €35.0 million. As of March 31, 2023, €16.3 million was available under these credit facilities.
Delayed Draw Term Loans
On January 31, 2023, we executed a delayed draw term loan agreement, which provided for a 5-year unsecured term loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $50 million. Advances were allowed through March 31, 2023 pursuant
to the terms of the agreement and any amounts borrowed and repaid could not be re-borrowed. The amounts borrowed under the agreement are required to be repaid no later than January 31, 2028. We subsequently drew the full $50 million on the loan in the first quarter. As of March 31, 2023, $50 million was drawn on this loan.
On January 12, 2023, we executed a delayed draw term loan agreement, which provided for a 3-year unsecured term loan in the aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million. Advances were allowed through March 31, 2023 pursuant to the terms of the agreement and any amounts borrowed and repaid could not be re-borrowed. The amounts borrowed under the agreement are required
to be repaid no later than January 12, 2026, subject to two one-year extension options. We subsequently drew the full $100 million on the loan in the first quarter. As of March 31, 2023, $100.0 million was drawn on this loan.
On September 12, 2022, we executed an unsecured delayed draw term loan agreement in India with a 5-year unsecured term loan and principal amount of up to 2.3 billion Indian Rupees ($28.0 million as of March 31, 2023). In the first quarter of 2023, we drew 1.3 billion Indian Rupees ($15.8 million as of March 31, 2023) on the loan. Advances are allowed through May 31, 2023
(extended from earlier availability period ending March 31, 2023) pursuant to the terms of the agreement and any amounts borrowed and repaid may not be re-borrowed. The amounts borrowed under the loan agreement are required to be repaid no later than five years from the first drawdown date. As of March 31, 2023, $15.8 million was drawn on this loan.
On December 14, 2020, we executed a delayed draw term loan agreement with a 3-year term loan and aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million. Advances were allowed from December 14, 2020 through April 17, 2021 pursuant to the terms of the agreement and any amounts borrowed and repaid could
not be re-borrowed. The amounts borrowed under the agreement are required to be repaid no later than December 14, 2023. In 2021, we drew $384 million on the loan, terminated the remaining unused commitment of $116 million, and subsequently repaid $134 million of the outstanding amount. As of March 31, 2023, $250 million was drawn on the U.S. Term Loan.
Restrictive Covenants
Our $250 million and $600 million revolving credit facilities contain various restrictive covenants, including requirements to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio and an asset coverage test. Some of our bank term loans have the same financial covenants as these facilities.
The
indentures for our public debt also contain various restrictive covenants, including limitations on liens provisions that restrict the amount of additional secured indebtedness that we may incur. Additionally, certain exceptions to the covenants permit us to incur an unlimited amount of purchase money and nonrecourse indebtedness.
At March 31, 2023, our European rail subsidiaries ("GATX Rail Europe" or "GRE") had outstanding term loans, public debt, and private placement debt balances totaling €740.0 million. The loans are guaranteed by GATX Corporation and are subject to similar restrictive covenants
as the revolving credit facility noted above.
At March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants and conditions of all of our credit agreements. We do not anticipate any covenant violations nor do we expect that any of these covenants will restrict our operations or our ability to obtain additional financing.
34
Credit Ratings
The global capital market environment and outlook may affect our funding options and our financial performance. Our access to capital markets at competitive rates depends on our credit
rating and rating outlook, as determined by rating agencies. As of March 31, 2023, our long-term unsecured debt was rated BBB by Standard & Poor's, Baa2 by Moody’s Investor Service and BBB+ by Fitch Ratings, Inc., and our short-term unsecured debt was rated A-2 by Standard & Poor's, P-2 by Moody’s Investor Service and F2 by Fitch Ratings, Inc.. Our rating outlook from all agencies was stable.

On January 25, 2019, our board of directors approved a $300.0 million share repurchase program, pursuant to which we are authorized to purchase shares of our common stock in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date, does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of common stock, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The timing of repurchases will be dependent on market conditions and other factors. No share repurchases were completed during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 89,580 shares
of common stock purchased for $9.0 million, excluding commissions, during the same period in 2022. As of March 31, 2023, $89.6 million remained available under the repurchase authorization.

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for a summary of our policies.

NON-GAAP
FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to financial results reported in accordance with GAAP, we compute certain financial measures using non-GAAP components, as defined by the SEC. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP, and our financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We have provided a reconciliation of our non-GAAP components to the most directly comparable GAAP components.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Components Used in the Computation of Certain Financial Measures
Net Income Measures
We exclude the effects of certain tax adjustments and other items
for purposes of presenting net income, diluted earnings per share, and return on equity because we believe these items are not attributable to our business operations. Management utilizes net income, excluding tax adjustments and other items, when analyzing financial performance because such amounts reflect the underlying operating results that are within management’s ability to influence. Accordingly, we believe presenting this information provides investors and other users of our financial statements with meaningful supplemental information for purposes of analyzing year-to-year financial performance on a comparable basis and assessing trends.
