Trinity Industries, Inc. Reports Strong Fourth Quarter Results and Record Annual Revenues and Net Income
DALLAS – February 21, 2007 – Trinity Industries, Inc. (NYSE:TRN) today reported earnings from continuing operations of $57.8 million, or $0.73 per common diluted share for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006. Earnings from continuing operations for the same quarter of 2005 were $40.2 million, or $0.52 per common diluted share. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2006 increased 15 percent to $835.0 million compared to revenues of $727.0 million for the same period in 2005.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $56.5 million, or $0.71 per common diluted share compared with net income of $25.4 million or $0.33 per common diluted share for the same quarter of 2005. Included in the earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2006 was a favorable $0.05 per common diluted share due to lower than anticipated state taxes.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company reported earnings from continuing operations of $215.5 million, or $2.72 per common diluted share, compared with earnings from continuing operations of $110.5 million or $1.44 per common diluted share for 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company reported net income of $230.1 million, or $2.90 per common diluted share, compared with net income of $86.3 million or $1.13 per common diluted share for 2005. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased 19 percent to $3,218.9 million compared to revenues of $2,709.7 million for 2005.
“The fourth quarter capped a strong year of revenue and earnings growth for Trinity,” said Timothy R. Wallace, Trinity’s Chairman, President, and CEO. “All of our businesses achieved higher revenues. We continue to grow a diversified portfolio of businesses and are achieving operational efficiencies in several of our businesses. Our markets remain healthy and we have positioned our businesses to take advantage of the opportunities in those markets.”
Trinity received orders for 10,093 railcars during the fourth quarter and shipped 6,300 railcars. Trinity’s North American railcar order backlog rose to approximately 35,930 at December 31, the highest level in the Company’s history. This represents an increase of more than 3,700 railcars from the September 30, 2006 order backlog and an increase of more than 17,100 railcars from the December 31, 2005 railcar order backlog.
The Company continues to grow its railcar leasing business. Trinity increased its lease fleet during the fourth quarter bringing the fleet total to approximately 30,550 at December 31, 2006. This compares to approximately 24,900 at December 31, 2005 and approximately 20,300 at December 31, 2004. “We continue to invest in our railcar lease fleet which provides multiple benefits to the Company,” Wallace said.
“The Inland Barge Group’s backlog grew to approximately $464 million at December 31, 2006, enabling long-term production planning and operational efficiencies,” Wallace concluded.

Trinity Industries, Inc. Reconciliation of EBITDA (in millions)
“EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) plus income taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation based on generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts included in the EBITDA calculations, however, are derived from amounts included in the historical 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 have reported EBITDA because we regularly review EBITDA as a measure of our ability to incur and service debt. In addition, we believe our debt holders utilize and analyze our EBITDA for similar purposes. We also 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.
