Item 1. Business

GENERAL

GATX Corporation ("GATX," the "Company," "we," "us," "our," and similar terms), a New York corporation founded in 1898, is a leading global railcar lessor, owning fleets in North America, Europe, and India. In addition, through GATX Engine Leasing ("GEL"), our wholly owned aircraft spare engine leasing business, and our joint ventures with Rolls-Royce plc (or affiliates thereof, collectively “Rolls-Royce”), we own one of the largest aircraft spare engine lease portfolios in the world. We report our financial results through three primary business segments: Rail North America, Rail International, and Engine Leasing. Financial results for our tank container leasing business ("Trifleet") are reported in the Other segment.

On May 29, 2025, GATX entered into a definitive agreement to acquire railcars from Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. ("Wells Fargo") through a newly formed joint venture ("GABX" or the "GABX joint venture") with Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. and its institutional partners (collectively, "Brookfield"). The transaction formally closed on January 1, 2026 and consisted of approximately 101,000 railcars for approximately $4.2 billion. Initially, GATX's ownership share of GABX is 30%, with Brookfield's share at 70%. GATX will have the option to acquire up to 100% of GABX's equity over time. GATX also agreed to directly purchase approximately 200 locomotives from Wells Fargo for approximately $30.4 million, and Brookfield agreed to directly acquire Wells Fargo’s rail finance lease portfolio. GATX will serve as manager of the railcars in GABX as well as the finance lease portfolio directly owned by Brookfield. In anticipation of the closing of the transaction, on December 31, 2025, GATX contributed equity of $385.3 million to GABX, Brookfield contributed equity of $899.0 million to GABX, and GABX executed a $2.96 billion term loan to fund the acquisition. GATX has guaranteed GABX's debt financing obligations. During 2025, GABX entered into deal contingent interest rate swaps in order to hedge the exposure on its anticipated debt financing. As of December 31, 2025, GABX is consolidated and is reported in the Rail North America segment, and its operations will be reflected within that segment for reporting periods after the closing of the transaction. See "Note 26. Subsequent Events" in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further information.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, GATX Rail Europe acquired 5,882 railcars from DB Cargo AG.

The following description of our business should be read in conjunction with the information contained in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Item 7 and the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

At December 31, 2025, we had total assets of $18.0 billion, composed largely of railcars.

Based on 2025 Combined Rail North America and Rail International Revenues

RAIL NORTH AMERICA

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 provides other ancillary services. These railcars have estimated economic useful lives of 27 to 45 years and an average age of approximately 17 years. Rail North America has a large and diverse customer base, serving approximately 800 customers. In 2025, one customer accounted for more than 5% of Rail North America’s total lease revenue, and the top ten customers combined accounted for approximately 25% of Rail North America’s total lease revenue. Rail North America leases railcars for terms that generally range from one to ten years, which vary based on railcar type, lease structure, and market conditions. The average remaining lease term of the North American fleet was approximately 43 months as of December 31, 2025. Rail North America’s primary competitors in railcar leasing are Union Tank Car Company, CIT Rail, Trinity Industries Leasing Company, and American Industrial Transport. Rail North America competes primarily on the basis of availability of railcars, maintenance capabilities, lease rate, lease structures, customer relationships, and engineering expertise.

Rail North America purchases new railcars from a number of manufacturers, including Trinity Rail Group, LLC ("Trinity"), a subsidiary of Trinity Industries, Inc., The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. ("Greenbrier") and its subsidiaries, National Steel Car Ltd., and FreightCar America, Inc. We also acquire new and used railcars in the secondary market.

In 2022, we entered into a long-term railcar supply agreement with 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 is scheduled to 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, are expected to 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 December 31, 2025, 8,133 railcars have been ordered pursuant to the terms of the agreement, of which 5,720 have been delivered.

Rail North America also owns a fleet of locomotives, consisting of 567 four-axle and 60 six-axle locomotives as of December 31, 2025. Locomotive customers are primarily regional and short-line railroads and industrial users. Lease terms vary from month-to-month to ten years. As of December 31, 2025, the average remaining lease term of the locomotive fleet was approximately 24 months. Rail North America's primary competitors in locomotive leasing are CIT Rail and LTEX Rail. Competitive factors in the market include availability of locomotives, lease rates, customer service, and maintenance.

Maintenance

Rail North America operates an extensive network of maintenance facilities in the United States and Canada dedicated to performing safe, timely, efficient, and high-quality railcar and locomotive maintenance services for customers. Railcar services include interior cleaning of railcars, routine maintenance and general repairs to the car body and safety appliances, regulatory compliance work, wheelset replacements, interior blast and lining, exterior blast and painting, and car stenciling. Locomotive services include a full suite of mechanical repairs, as well as periodic inspections. To the extent possible, maintenance is scheduled in a manner that minimizes the amount of time the asset is out of service.

At December 31, 2025, Rail North America’s maintenance network consisted of:

•Six major maintenance facilities that can complete nearly all types of railcar maintenance services;

•One smaller railcar maintenance facility with more limited capabilities;

•Three customer-dedicated sites (two locomotive-oriented and one railcar-oriented) operating within customer facilities that offer services tailored to the needs of such customers' fleets; and

•Three locations (two locomotive-oriented and one railcar-oriented) with mobile units that travel to field locations to provide services tailored to the needs of our customers' fleets.

The maintenance network is supplemented by a number of preferred third-party maintenance providers and railroads. In 2025, third-party maintenance network expenses accounted for approximately 23% of Rail North America’s total maintenance network expenses, excluding repairs performed by the railroads. In 2025, wholly owned and third-party maintenance facilities performed approximately 36,000 service events, including in some cases multiple independent service events for the same railcar.

Our maintenance activities are primarily dedicated to servicing our wholly owned railcar and locomotive fleet pursuant to the provisions of our lease contracts. This may include services that are not included in the full-service lease agreement, such as repairs of railcar or locomotive damage or other customer-specific requirements. Revenue earned from these types of maintenance services is recorded in other revenue. We also perform maintenance and repair activities on railcars and locomotives owned by third parties.

Affiliates

GATX is a co-founder of and, as of December 31, 2025, owns a 10% share in the RailPulse LLC ("RailPulse") joint venture. RailPulse's owners consist of a coalition of North American railcar owners, including leasing companies, shippers, short lines, and Class I railroads. The RailPulse joint venture was formed to create an industry-wide telematics platform to enable the use of telematics devices to gather data and enhance rail safety and the value proposition for rail shippers across North America. The financial results of RailPulse are not material to GATX.

As noted above, as part of the acquisition of Wells Fargo's rail operating lease portfolio, GATX entered into a newly formed joint venture, GABX, with Brookfield. As of December 31, 2025, GATX owns a 30% share of GABX, with the option to acquire up to 100% of GABX's equity over time. GABX is consolidated and is reported within the Rail North America segment.

RAIL INTERNATIONAL

Rail International is composed of our operations in Europe ("GATX Rail Europe" or "GRE"), India ("Rail India"), and until January 31, 2023, Russia ("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. As of December 31, 2025, GRE owned 36,484 railcars with estimated useful lives of 32 to 40 years and an average age of approximately 17 years. GRE has a diverse customer base with approximately 300 customers. In 2025, one customer accounted for approximately 17% of GRE's total lease revenue and the top ten customers combined accounted for approximately 47% of GRE's total lease revenue. GRE's lease terms generally range from one to ten years and, as of December 31, 2025, the average remaining lease term of the European fleet was approximately 26 months. GRE's primary competitors are VTG Aktiengesellschaft, Streem (formerly known as the Ermewa Group), Wascosa AG, and Touax. GRE competes principally on the basis of availability of railcars, customer relationships, lease rate, lease structure, engineering, and maintenance expertise.

GRE acquires new railcars primarily from Gök Yapi San. Tic. a.s., Greenbrier-Astra Rail (Wagony Swidnica sp. z.o.o and Astra Rail Industries S.A.), Duro Dakovic, and Tatravagonka a.s. Additionally, GRE's Ostróda, Poland maintenance facility assembles tank cars each year. As of December 31, 2025, GRE had commitments to acquire from third parties, primarily from Gök Yapi San. Tic. a.s., Greenbrier-Astra Rail, Duro Dakovic and Tatravagonka a.s., 746 newly manufactured railcars scheduled to be delivered in 2026.

5

In the fourth quarter of 2025, GRE acquired 5,882 railcars from DB Cargo AG. The acquisition was an opportunity to grow and diversify the GRE fleet by adding a mix of favorable model types.

As of December 31, 2025, Rail India owned 12,165 railcars with estimated useful lives of 15 to 30 years. Rail India's leases are net leases, under which the lessee assumes responsibility for maintenance of the railcars, and have terms generally ranging from five to fifteen years. As of December 31, 2025, the average remaining lease term of the Indian fleet was approximately 75 months. Rail India has a customer base of 20 customers in the automotive, container, steel, cement, and bulk commodities transport sector, as well as one customer in the public sector. As of December 31, 2025, Rail India had entered into contracts to acquire 665 railcars to be delivered in 2026, all of which have committed leases in place with customers.

Maintenance

GRE operates a maintenance facility in Ostróda, Poland that performs significant repairs, regulatory compliance, and modernization work for our owned railcars and assembles railcars for GRE's fleet. This facility is supplemented by an extensive network of third-party repair facilities. The third-party repair facilities accounted for approximately 68% of GRE's total maintenance network expenses in 2025.

Similar to our Rail North America segment, GRE's customers periodically require maintenance services that are not included in the full-service lease agreement. These services are generally related to the repair of railcar damage caused by customers and railways, as well as customer-specific requirements. Revenue earned from these maintenance activities is recorded in other revenue.

In India, all railcar maintenance is performed by Indian Railways or third-parties authorized by Indian Railways, in accordance with regulatory requirements.

ENGINE LEASING

Engine Leasing is composed primarily of the Rolls-Royce & Partners Finance joint ventures (collectively, the "RRPF affiliates") that lease aircraft spare engines and GEL, our wholly owned aircraft spare engine leasing business.

Affiliates

The RRPF affiliates are a group of 50% owned domestic and foreign joint ventures with Rolls-Royce, a leading manufacturer of commercial aircraft jet engines. The RRPF affiliates are primarily engaged in leasing of aircraft spare engines directly to a diverse group of commercial aircraft operators worldwide and leasing of aircraft spare engines to Rolls-Royce for use in their engine maintenance programs. As of December 31, 2025, the RRPF affiliates, in aggregate, owned 456 engines, of which 182 were on lease to Rolls-Royce. Aircraft engines have an estimated economic useful life of 25 to 30 years. As of December 31, 2025, the average age of these engines was approximately 11 years. Lease terms vary, but typically range from 5 to 12 years. The RRPF affiliates are staffed and managed by seconded Rolls-Royce employees, who also oversee any required maintenance activities.

Owned Assets

GEL is our wholly owned entity that invests directly in aircraft spare engines. As of December 31, 2025, GEL owned 46 aircraft spare engines, with 21 on long-term leases with airline customers and 25 that are employed in an engine capacity agreement with Rolls-Royce for use in its engine maintenance programs.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Our operations, facilities, and properties are subject to extensive federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. These laws cover discharges to waters, air emissions, toxic substances, the generation, handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of waste and hazardous materials, and the investigation and remediation of contamination. These laws have the effect of increasing the cost and liability associated with leasing and operating assets, and violations can result in significant fines, penalties, or other liabilities. Environmental risks and compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations are inherent in the use of rail and other transportation assets, which can involve transporting chemicals and other hazardous materials.

We are subject to, and may from time to time continue to be subject to, environmental cleanup and enforcement actions in the United States and in other countries in which we operate. In particular, the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), also known as the Superfund law, generally imposes joint and several liability for investigation, cleanup, and enforcement costs on current and former owners and operators of a site, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct. Accordingly, we have been and may, in the future, be named as a potentially responsible party under CERCLA and other federal, state, local, and foreign laws or regulations for all or a portion of the costs to investigate and clean up sites at which certain contaminants may have been discharged or released by us, our current lessees, former owners or lessees of properties, or other third parties. Environmental remediation and other environmental costs are accrued when considered probable and amounts can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2025, environmental costs were not material to our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. For further discussion, see "Note 24. Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies" in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

We recognize that climate risks, including related regulatory action, have the potential to impact our leasing businesses and maintenance operations. GATX continues to evaluate and assess business, operational, and strategic risks associated with climate change and reports on key environmental data. We publish Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and continue to work on assessing our full value chain impacts on the environment in an effort to identify opportunities to reduce those impacts.
