Trinity Industries, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2018 Results

Trinity Industries, Inc. (NYSE:TRN) today announced earnings results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018, including the following highlights:

  • Earnings per common diluted share of $0.19 compared with $0.43 in 2017
  • Adjusted earnings per common diluted share of $0.39, excluding $0.20 per share related to an impairment charge in the Energy Equipment Group and transaction costs related to the planned spin-off of Arcosa, Inc.
  • Rail Group receives orders for 7,725 railcars with a total value of $944.7 million and delivers approximately 4,000 railcars during the third quarter
  • Rail Group expects deliveries of between 20,000 and 21,000 railcars in 2018 and anticipates full year 2019 deliveries of between approximately 22,500 and 24,000 railcars
  • Inland Barge Group receives orders of $61.3 million during the third quarter
  • Provides initial full year 2019 earnings guidance for Trinity Industries post spin-off of Arcosa, Inc. of between $0.90 and $1.10 per common diluted share

Consolidated Results

Trinity Industries, Inc. reported net income attributable to Trinity stockholders of $27.7 million, or $0.19 per common diluted share, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018. Net income for the same quarter of 2017 was $66.9 million, or $0.43 per common diluted share. Revenues for the third quarter of 2018 decreased to $930.9 million compared with revenues of $973.6 million for the same quarter of 2017. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $24.8 million, or $0.15 per common diluted share, during the quarter related to the classification of certain businesses in the Energy Equipment Group as held for sale. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $10.6 million of corporate costs, or $0.05 per common diluted share, during the quarter related to the expected spin-off transaction. Excluding these items, the Company reported adjusted earnings per common diluted share of $0.39 for the third quarter. Third quarter 2018 net income benefitted from a lower effective tax rate of 27.4% compared with 36.9% in the same quarter of 2017 due primarily to the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (“the Act”), increasing earnings per common diluted share by $0.03 in comparison to the third quarter of 2017.

“I am pleased with the continued momentum in market demand experienced by a number of our businesses during the quarter,” said Timothy R. Wallace, Trinity’s Chairman, CEO and President. “Trinity’s consolidated third quarter financial results reflect a variety of market conditions in our businesses as well as activities associated with the anticipated distribution of Arcosa, Inc. to Trinity shareholders on the first of November.”

Mr. Wallace added, “This year marks Trinity’s 85th year as a company, and its 60th year as a public company. As Trinity has grown through the years, our dedicated employees have worked collaboratively to build a strong portfolio of industry-leading businesses. We are proud of Trinity’s history of success and rich corporate culture, which provides an excellent foundation for both Trinity and Arcosa. Arcosa will separate from Trinity with an established platform of leading businesses in the construction, energy, and transportation markets, with long-standing customer relationships and opportunities to grow in attractive markets. Trinity will continue to be a premier provider of rail transportation products and services. Both companies have strong teams, strong balance sheets, and many opportunities for success. We are very excited about the potential for both of these companies.”

Quarterly Business Group Results

In the third quarter of 2018, the Rail Group reported higher revenues of $506.8 million compared with revenues of $492.4 million in the third quarter of 2017. Operating profit and profit margin for the Rail Group of $32.9 million and 6.5% in the third quarter of 2018 declined compared with $50.5 million and 10.3% in the third quarter of 2017. The increase in revenues was primarily due to higher volumes in the maintenance services business, partially offset by lower railcar deliveries. Operating profit declined primarily due to pricing pressures related to certain railcar types as well as production inefficiencies related to changes in the mix of railcars manufactured during the period and activities undertaken in anticipation of higher production levels expected in the fourth quarter. The decline in operating profit was partially offset by higher volumes in the maintenance services business. The Rail Group delivered approximately 4,000 railcars and received orders for 7,725 railcars during the third quarter of 2018, compared with deliveries of 4,420 railcars and orders for 3,045 railcars, respectively, in the same quarter last year. The railcar backlog in the Rail Group increased during the quarter to $3.2 billion as of September 30, 2018, representing 28,315 railcars, compared with a railcar backlog of $2.7 billion as of June 30, 2018, representing 24,580 railcars.

The Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group (“Leasing Group”) reported revenues and operating profit of $227.5 million and $92.2 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2018, compared with $275.1 million and $120.6 million, respectively, in the same quarter of 2017. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower sales of railcars owned one year or less and a decrease in asset management advisory fees. Total proceeds from the sale of leased railcars, including sales of railcars owned for more than one year that are not reported as revenues, were $118.6 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared with $154.5 million of leased railcars in the third quarter of 2017. The decrease in operating profit for the third quarter was primarily the result of lower average rental rates, lower asset management advisory fees, and a change in the mix of railcars sold from the lease fleet, partially offset by net growth in the lease fleet. Supplemental information for the Leasing Group is provided in the accompanying tables.

The Inland Barge Group reported higher revenues of $49.3 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared with revenues of $28.1 million in the third quarter of 2017. Operating profit for this Group also improved to $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared with a loss of $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2017. The increases in revenues and operating profit compared with the same quarter last year were primarily due to higher barge deliveries. The Inland Barge Group received orders of $61.3 million during the quarter and, as of September 30, 2018, the backlog improved to $210.4 million compared with a backlog of $198.4 million as of June 30, 2018.

The Energy Equipment Group reported lower revenues of $218.2 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared with revenues of $246.2 million in the same quarter of 2017. Operating profit for this Group also declined to a loss of $13.7 million compared with a profit of $26.3 million in the same quarter last year. The decreases in revenues and operating profit were primarily due to a decrease in volumes in the Group's wind towers product line. Additionally, operating profit for this Group was impacted by a $24.8 million impairment charge associated with the write-down of the net assets of certain businesses classified as held for sale and a $6.1 million reserve on finished goods inventory related to an order for a single customer in our utility structures business. The backlog for wind towers and utility structures as of September 30, 2018 was $700.3 million compared with a backlog of $780.1 million as of June 30, 2018.

The Construction Products Group reported higher revenues of $152.0 million in the third quarter of 2018 compared with revenues of $131.9 million in the third quarter of 2017. Operating profit and profit margin also improved to $29.1 million and 19.1% in the third quarter of 2018 compared with $16.8 million and 12.7% in the same quarter last year. The increases in revenues compared with the same quarter last year were primarily due to higher volumes in our highway products business and other businesses. The increase in operating profit compared with the same quarter last year was related to volume increases, $4.4 million in additional insurance recoveries related to damages previously sustained at two of our highway products manufacturing facilities, and a reduction in legal expenses.

Share Repurchase

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company repurchased 1,356,484 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $50.0 million, bringing year to date repurchases to $150.0 million, excluding fees, and leaving approximately $350.0 million remaining under its current authorization through December 31, 2019.

Proposed Spin-off

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

On September 25, 2018, Trinity’s Board of Directors formally approved the separation of its infrastructure-related businesses from Trinity through a distribution of all of the common stock of Arcosa held by Trinity to Trinity stockholders. In connection with the approval, the Board set the distribution ratio, record date, and distribution date for the separation. The distribution is expected to be made at 12:01 a.m. local New York City time on November 1, 2018 to Trinity stockholders of record as of 5:00 p.m. local New York City time on October 17, 2018, the record date for the distribution. On the distribution date, Trinity stockholders will receive one share of Arcosa common stock for every three shares of Trinity common stock held as of the record date. No fractional shares of Arcosa’s common stock will be distributed. Fractional shares of Arcosa’s common stock will be aggregated and sold on the open market, and the aggregate net proceeds of the sales will be distributed ratably in the form of cash payments to Trinity stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Arcosa’s common stock.

The completion of the spin-off transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including certain conditions described in the Information Statement included in Arcosa’s Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in the form of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the Form 10. Trinity and Arcosa expect all conditions to the Arcosa distribution to be satisfied or waived on or before the distribution date. Following the distribution, Arcosa will be an independent, publicly-traded company on the New York Stock Exchange, and Trinity will retain no ownership interest in Arcosa.

Earnings Guidance

2018 Guidance

For the full year 2018, the Rail Group expects deliveries of between 20,000 and 21,000 railcars. The delivery range incorporates potential rail service and congestion issues and other weather-related delays. As previously disclosed, the Company has withdrawn its full year 2018 earnings per share guidance as it is no longer relevant since it includes full year anticipated earnings expectations for Arcosa. Unless otherwise noted herein, full year 2018 segment guidance has also been withdrawn as the businesses comprising Trinity’s current reporting segments will change post spin.

2019 Guidance

For the full year 2019, the Company currently anticipates earnings for Trinity Industries, post spin-off of Arcosa, of between $0.90 and $1.10 per common diluted share. Additionally, at this time, the Rail Group expects full year 2019 deliveries of between approximately 22,500 and 24,000 railcars.

Results for the three months ended September 30, 2017 have been revised to reflect the retrospective adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Cost ("ASU 2017-07"). The adoption of ASU 2017-07 on January 1, 2018 resulted in a net decrease to previously reported Operating Profit of $0.6 million and a corresponding decrease to Other, net of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, with no impact to net income or earnings per share.

Trinity is required to utilize the two-class method of accounting when calculating earnings per share as a result of unvested restricted shares that have non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are, therefore, considered to be a participating security. The unvested restricted shares are excluded from the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the purposes of determining earnings per share. The two-class method results in a lower earnings per share than is calculated from the face of the income statement. See Earnings Per Share Calculation table below.

The Act, enacted in December 2017, reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%. In December 2017, we recorded a tax benefit after the initial assessment of the tax effects of the Act, and we will continue refining this amount throughout 2018, which could potentially affect the measurement of our deferred tax balance or give rise to new deferred tax amounts resulting in a final adjustment in the fourth quarter of 2018. The impact of the Act may differ from our estimate due to changes in the regulations, rulings, guidance, and interpretations issued by the IRS and the FASB as well as interpretations and assumptions made by the Company. For the items for which we were able to determine a reasonable estimate, we recognized an additional provisional net benefit of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, which is included as a component of income tax expense.

* Not meaningful

(1) The Company recognizes sales of railcars from the lease fleet which have been owned by the lease fleet for one year or less as revenue. Sales of railcars from the lease fleet which have been owned by the lease fleet for more than one year are recognized as a net gain or loss from the disposal of a long-term asset.

(2) Depreciation, maintenance and compliance, and rent expense are components of operating profit. Amortization of deferred profit on railcars sold from the Rail Group to the Leasing Group is included in the operating profit of the Leasing Group resulting in the recognition of depreciation expense based on the Company's original manufacturing cost of the railcars. Interest expense is not a component of operating profit and includes the effect of hedges.

Reconciliation of EBITDA

(in millions)
(unaudited)
 

“EBITDA” is defined as net income plus interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization including goodwill impairment charges. EBITDA is not a calculation based on generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are, however, derived from amounts included in the historical consolidated statements of operations data. In addition, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indicator of our operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of liquidity. We believe EBITDA assists investors in comparing a company’s performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation and amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. However, the EBITDA measure presented in this press release may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.
