“Our 2016 results were slightly ahead of our expectations and reflect our Company’s ability to successfully transition as market conditions shift,” said Timothy R. Wallace, Trinity’s Chairman, CEO and President. “Our people have continued to execute well in a challenging business environment. We remain focused on controlling costs, maintaining a strong balance sheet, and initiatives to improve our performance.”

Mr. Wallace added, “Many of the market challenges we faced in 2016 persist in 2017. The oversupply of railcars and barges in North America continues to impact market fundamentals. The flexible nature of Trinity's business model positions our company to respond when market conditions shift.”

Business Group Results

In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Rail Group reported revenues of $816.4 million compared to revenues of $1,133.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Operating profit and profit margin for the Rail Group was $110.3 million and 13.5% in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to operating profit and profit margin of $267.9 million and 23.6% in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease in revenues and profit was primarily due to lower railcar deliveries and changes in product mix. The Rail Group shipped 7,435 railcars and received orders for 1,985 railcars during the fourth quarter. The Rail Group had a backlog of $3.0 billion as of December 31, 2016, representing 29,220 railcars, compared to a backlog of $3.7 billion as of September 30, 2016, representing 34,870 railcars.

The Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group reported total revenues of $178.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to total revenues of $372.7 million in the same quarter of 2015. Operating profit for this Group was $87.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to operating profit of $187.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease in revenues and operating profit was due to the absence of sales of leased railcars from the lease fleet during the fourth quarter of 2016. Supplemental information for the Leasing Group is provided in the accompanying tables.

The Inland Barge Group reported revenues of $75.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to revenues of $147.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Operating profit and profit margin for this Group was $6.7 million and 8.9% in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $20.7 million and 14.1% in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease in revenues and operating profit compared to the same quarter last year was primarily due to lower barge deliveries and changes in product mix. As of December 31, 2016, the Inland Barge Group had a backlog of $120.0 million compared to a backlog of $177.3 million as of September 30, 2016.

The Energy Equipment Group reported revenues of $257.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to revenues of $242.2 million in the same quarter of 2015. The increase in revenues compared to the same quarter last year was due to higher delivery volumes in the structural wind towers business partially offset by lower delivery volumes in other product lines. Operating profit and profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2016 was $29.6 million and 11.5% compared to $32.6 million and 13.5% in the same quarter last year as higher profit in our structural wind towers business was offset by lower profit from our other businesses. The backlog for structural wind towers as of December 31, 2016 was $1.1 billion compared to a backlog of $1.0 billion as of September 30, 2016. The Company added approximately $200 million in structural wind tower orders to its backlog during the fourth quarter of 2016.

The Construction Products Group reported revenues of $112.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to revenues of $113.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Operating profit and profit margin for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased to $11.4 million and 10.1% compared to operating profit and profit margin of $5.0 million and 4.4% in the fourth quarter of 2015. Revenues decreased compared to the same quarter last year primarily as a result of lower volumes in our highway products business partially offset by higher volumes in our construction aggregates business. Operating profit for the Group increased in the fourth quarter of 2016 primarily as a result of improved profit margin in our construction aggregates and highway products businesses.

Cash and Liquidity

At December 31, 2016, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities of $798.1 million. When combined with capacity under committed credit facilities, the Company had approximately $2.1 billion of available liquidity at the end of the fourth quarter.

Share Repurchase

There were no shares repurchased during the fourth quarter of 2016 under the Company's current share repurchase authorization. During 2016 the Company repurchased 2,070,600 shares of common stock at a cost of $34.7 million leaving $215.4 million remaining under its current authorization through December 31, 2017.

Earnings Guidance for 2017

For the full year of 2017, the Company anticipates earnings per common diluted share of between $1.00 and $1.35.

At this time, based on the level of order inquiries and scheduled backlog production, the Rail Group expects full year 2017 deliveries of between 14,000 and 15,000.

The Company's earnings guidance for 2017 also includes expected sales of leased railcars of between $300 million and $400 million.

Actual results in 2017 may differ from present expectations and could be impacted by a number of factors including, among others, the risk factors disclosed in "Risk Factors" and "Forward-Looking Statements" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recent fiscal year.

* 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.
