Trinity Industries Reports Improved Earnings for Second Quarter of 2005
DALLAS – August 3, 2005 – Trinity Industries, Inc. (NYSE:TRN) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. Revenues increased 33 percent during the second quarter over the same period in 2004. Revenues for the first six months of 2005 were up 37 percent over the first six months of 2004.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2005 the Company reported earnings of $21.8 million, 43 cents per common diluted share, and revenues of $731.3 million. This compares with a net income of $3.6 million, 6 cents per common diluted share, and revenues of $548.7 million in the same quarter of 2004. The second quarter of 2005 included a write-off of goodwill associated with the railcar operations in Europe of $2.3 million (4 cents per common diluted share). The second quarter of 2004 included an after-tax loss provision of $3.1 million (7 cents per common diluted share) due to the effect of cost increases in steel and components containing steel on certain rail and barge contracts.
For the six months ended June 30, 2005 the Company reported earnings of $27.8 million, 55 cents per common diluted share, and revenues of $1,378.2 million. This compares with a net loss of $7.2 million, 19 cents per common diluted share, and revenues of $1,003.6 million in the same period of 2004. The six months ended June 30, 2005, included an after-tax provision of approximately $2.1 million (4 cents per common diluted share) related to the settlement of two lawsuits and two other unrelated warranty issues in the Company’s Inland Barge Group and the previously mentioned write-off of the goodwill associated with the European operations. The six months ended June 30, 2004 included an after-tax loss provision for $7.9 million (17 cents per common diluted share) due to the effect of cost increases in steel and components containing steel on certain rail and barge contracts and an after-tax charge of $769,000 (2 cents per common diluted share) related to the early retirement of debt.
“All of our North American business segments were profitable during the second quarter, building on the momentum we established during the first quarter,” said Timothy R. Wallace, Trinity’s Chairman, President and CEO. “Productivity improvements implemented in our North American railcar businesses are reflected in their increased earnings and our North American railcar backlog increased slightly to approximately 17,500 units. Our Construction Products Group had strong results, in part because of consistent demand and improved pricing.”
Trinity’s Inland Barge Group also returned to profitability during the second quarter. “The performance of our Inland Barge Group demonstrates the ability of this group to be a strong contributor to the bottom line,” Wallace continued. “Market demand has increased and we see growth opportunities in this segment.”
