CHICAGO, May 7, 2026 - GATX Corporation (NYSE: GATX) today reported 2026 first-quarter net income attributable to GATX of $85.5 million, or $2.35 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to GATX of $78.6 million, or $2.15 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025.
"Consistent with our expectations entering the year, our global businesses performed well in the first quarter," said
Robert C. Lyons, president and chief executive officer of GATX. "Integration of the Wells Fargo rail operating lease fleet is progressing well, positioning us to serve customers with an expanded portfolio supported by our operational and commercial expertise. Beginning this quarter, commercial metrics and fleet statistics for Rail North America reflect the combined legacy and newly acquired fleets, consistent with consolidation in our financial statements. At quarter end, Rail North America's fleet utilization remained high at 98.1%, and the first-quarter renewal success rate was 79.1%, reflecting stable demand for existing railcars. The renewal lease rate change of GATX’s Lease Price Index was 22.3% with an average renewal term of 56 months. Furthermore, we generated first-quarter gains on asset dispositions of approximately $50.0 million, reflecting continued strength in the secondary market and strong asset valuations.
"At GATX Rail Europe, fleet utilization remained steady at 94.7% in the first quarter. Our European team achieved increases in renewal lease rates compared to expiring rates across the majority of car types, despite macroeconomic pressures weighing on our customers' fleet planning activities. At GATX Rail India, demand for railcars remained solid, with fleet utilization at 100.0% at quarter end.
"Within Engine Leasing, we continued to benefit from strong demand for aircraft spare engines, with solid performance across our engine portfolios in the first quarter. While we are closely monitoring developments related to the Middle East conflict and their implications for global air travel and airline financial performance, based on the resiliency the industry has demonstrated through various external events over many decades, we remain confident in the long-term strength of this business."
Mr. Lyons added, "First-quarter investment volume totaled more than $4.5 billion, including the acquisition of Wells Fargo’s rail operating lease portfolio for approximately $4.2 billion. During the quarter, we executed on attractive investment opportunities to acquire new and existing railcars across our global rail businesses."
Mr. Lyons concluded, “Our first quarter progressed largely as we anticipated. Our expanded portfolio of long‑lived assets, deep customer relationships across diverse end markets, and consistently strong cash flows position us well to navigate increased macro uncertainty. We will monitor our markets for impacts from the war in the Middle East, while continuing to execute on our disciplined growth strategy. Based on first-quarter results and our current outlook, we continue to expect 2026 full-year earnings to be $9.50 - $10.10 per diluted share, excluding the impact of Tax Adjustments and Other Items.”
RAIL NORTH AMERICA
Rail North America reported segment profit of $103.9 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $88.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. Higher 2026 first-quarter segment profit was driven by higher lease revenue and higher gains on asset dispositions.
As of March 31, 2026, Rail North America’s fleet totaled approximately 206,100 cars, including 9,900 boxcars. The following fleet statistics and performance discussion exclude the boxcar fleet.
Fleet utilization was 98.1% at the end of the first quarter of 2026, compared to 99.0% at the end of the prior quarter and 99.2% at the end of the first quarter of 2025. At the time of the Wells Fargo acquisition, GATX Rail North American's fleet utilization was 99.0%, while Wells Fargo Rail's fleet utilization was 96.5%. Therefore, utilization of 98.1% is a byproduct of the fleet combination and consistent with expectations outlined at the beginning of this year.
During the first quarter of 2026, the renewal lease rate change of the GATX Lease Price Index (LPI) was 22.3%, compared to 21.9% in the prior quarter and 24.5% in the first quarter of 2025. The average lease renewal term for all cars included in the LPI during the first quarter of 2026 was 56 months, compared to 58 months in the prior quarter and 61 months in the first quarter of 2025. The 2026 first-quarter renewal success rate was 79.1%, compared to 91.4% in the prior quarter and 85.1% in the first quarter of 2025. Rail North America’s investment volume during the first quarter was approximately $4.5 billion, including the acquisition of Wells Fargo’s rail operating lease portfolio for approximately $4.2 billion.
Additional fleet statistics, including information on the boxcar fleet, and macroeconomic data related to Rail North America’s business are provided in the attached Supplemental Information under Rail North America Statistics.
RAIL INTERNATIONAL
Rail International’s segment profit was $31.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $25.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. Higher 2026 first-quarter segment profit was driven by more railcars on lease, higher lease rates, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
As of March 31, 2026, GATX Rail Europe’s (GRE) fleet consisted of over 36,600 railcars. Fleet utilization was 94.7%, compared to 94.7% at the end of the prior quarter and 95.1% at the end of the first quarter of 2025.
As of March 31, 2026, Rail India's fleet consisted of approximately 12,500 railcars. Fleet utilization was 100.0%, compared to 100.0% at the end of the prior quarter and 99.6% at the end of the first quarter of 2025.
Additional fleet statistics for GRE and Rail India are provided on the last page of this press release.
ENGINE LEASING
Engine Leasing reported segment profit of $35.3 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to segment profit of $38.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. Comparative results were driven primarily by the timing of remarketing income, which can vary materially from quarter to quarter. The Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates invested approximately $135.0 million in aircraft spare engines during the quarter, and the investment pipeline remains robust.

(1) GATX's Lease Price Index (LPI) is an internally-generated business indicator that measures renewal activity for our North American railcar fleet, excluding boxcars. The LPI calculation includes all renewal activity based on a 12-month trailing average, and the renewals are weighted by the count of all renewals over the 12-month period. The average renewal lease rate change is reported as the percentage change between the average renewal lease rate and the average expiring lease rate. The average renewal lease term is reported in months and reflects the average renewal lease term in the LPI.
(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) Excludes boxcar fleet.
(4) As reported and revised by the Federal Reserve.
(5) As reported by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
(6) As reported by the Railway Supply Institute (RSI).
