PART I
Item 1. Business
GATX Corporation is a holding company whose subsidiaries engage in the
leasing and management of railroad tank cars and specialized freight cars;
own and operate tank storage terminals, pipelines and related facilities;
provide equipment and capital asset financing and related services; engage in
Great Lakes shipping; and provide distribution and logistics support
services, warehousing facilities, and related real estate services.
Information concerning financial data of business segments and the basis for
grouping products or services is contained in Exhibit 13, GATX Annual Report
to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1994 on page 29 and pages 34
through 37, which is incorporated herein by reference (page references are to
the Annual Report to Shareholders).
Industry Segments
Railcar Leasing and Management
The Railcar Leasing and Management segment (Transportation) is principally
engaged in leasing specialized railcars, primarily tank cars, under full
service leases. As of December 31, 1994, its fleet consisted of
approximately 59,800 railcars, including 50,700 tank cars and 9,100
specialized freight cars, primarily Airslide covered hopper cars and plastic
pellet cars. Transportation has upgraded its fleet over time by adding new
larger capacity cars and retiring older, smaller capacity cars.
Transportation's railcars have a useful life of approximately 30 to 33 years.
The average age of the railcars in Transportation's fleet is approximately 15
years.
The following table sets forth the approximate tank car fleet capacity of
Transportation as of the end of each of the years indicated and the number of
cars of all types added to Transportation's fleet during such years:
Year Ended December 31,
1994 1993 1992 1991 1990
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Tank car fleet capacity
(in millions of gallons) 1,090 1,024 993 977 964
Number of cars added to fleet 4,900 3,000 1,600 1,500 1,700
Transportation's customers use its railcars to ship over 700 different
commodities, primarily chemicals, petroleum, food products and minerals. For
1994, approximately 54% of railcar leasing revenue was attributable to
shipments of chemical products, 21% to petroleum products, 18% to food
products and 7% to other products. Many of these products require cars with
special features; Transportation offers a wide variety of sizes and types of
cars to meet these needs. Transportation leases railcars to over 700
customers, including major chemical, oil, food and agricultural companies.
No single customer accounts for more than 5% of total railcar leasing
revenue.
Transportation typically leases new equipment to its customers for a term of
five years or longer, whereas renewals or leases of used cars are typically
for periods ranging from less than a year to seven years with an average
lease term of about three years. The utilization rate of Transportation's
railcars as of December 31, 1994 was approximately 95%.
-1-
Under its full service leases, Transportation maintains and services its
railcars, pays ad valorem taxes, and provides many ancillary services.
Through its Car Status Service System, for example, the company provides
customers with timely information about the location and readiness of their
leased cars to enhance and maximize the utilization of this equipment.
Transportation also maintains a network of service centers consisting of four
major service centers and 24 mobile trucks in 17 locations. Transportation
also utilizes independent third-party repair shops.
Transportation purchases most of its new railcars from Trinity Industries,
Inc. (Trinity), a Dallas-based metal products manufacturer, under a contract
entered into in 1984 and extended from time to time thereafter, most recently
in 1992. Transportation anticipates that through this contract it will
continue to be able to satisfy its customers' new car lease requirements.
Transportation's engineering staff provides Trinity with design criteria and
equipment specifications, and works with Trinity's engineers to develop new
technology where needed in order to upgrade or improve car performance or in
response to regulatory requirements.
The full-service railcar leasing industry is comprised of Transportation,
Union Tank Car Company, General Electric Railcar Services Corporation,
Shippers Car Line division of ACF Industries, Incorporated, and many smaller
companies. Of the approximately 193,000 tank cars owned and leased in the
United States at December 31, 1994, Transportation had approximately 50,700.
Principal competitive factors include price, service and availability.
Terminals and Pipelines
GATX Terminals Corporation (Terminals) is engaged in the storage, handling
and intermodal transfer of petroleum and chemical commodities at key points
in the bulk liquid distribution chain. All of its terminals are located near
major distribution and transportation points and most are capable of
receiving and shipping bulk liquids by ship, rail, barge and truck. Many of
the terminals are also linked with major interstate pipelines. In addition
to storing, handling and transferring bulk liquids, Terminals provides
blending and testing services at most of its facilities. Terminals owns and
operates 25 terminals in 11 states, two pipeline systems, and eight terminals
in the United Kingdom; Terminals also has joint venture interests in 13
international facilities.
As of December 31, 1994, Terminals had a total storage capacity of 76 million
barrels. This includes 57 million barrels of bulk liquid storage capacity in
the United States, 7 million barrels in the United Kingdom, and an equity
interest in another 12 million barrels of storage capacity in Europe and the
Far East. Terminals' smallest bulk liquid facility has a storage capacity of
100,000 barrels while its largest facility, located in Pasadena, Texas, has a
capacity of over 12 million barrels. Capacity utilization at Terminals'
wholly-owned facilities was 94% at the end of 1994; throughput for the year
was 671 million barrels.
-2-
For 1994, 76% of Terminals' revenue was derived from petroleum products and
21% from a variety of chemical products. Demand for Terminals' facilities is
dependent in part upon demand for petroleum and chemical products and is also
affected by refinery output, foreign imports, and the expansion of its
customers into new geographical markets.
Terminals serves approximately 300 customers, including major oil and
chemical companies as well as trading firms and larger independent refiners.
No single customer accounts for more than 6% of Terminals' revenue. Customer
service contracts are both short term and long term.
Terminals along with two Dutch companies, Paktank N.V. and Van Ommeren N.V.,
are the three major international public terminalling companies. The
domestic public terminalling industry consists of Terminals, Paktank
Corporation, International-Matex Tank Terminals, and many smaller independent
terminalling companies. In addition to public terminalling companies, oil
and chemical companies, which generally do not make their storage facilities
available to others, also have significant storage capacity in their own
private facilities. Terminals' pipelines compete with rail, trucks and other
pipelines for movement of liquid petroleum products. Principal competitive
factors include price, location relative to distribution facilities, and
service.
Financial Services
GATX Financial Services, through its principal subsidiary, GATX Capital
Corporation, provides asset-based financing of transportation and industrial
equipment through capital leases, secured equipment loans, and operating
leases. GATX Capital also provides related financial services which include
the arrangement of lease transactions for investment by other lessors and the
management of lease portfolios for third parties. In these underwriting and
management activities, GATX Capital seeks fee income and residual
participation income. In addition to its San Francisco headquarters, GATX
Capital has offices in six foreign countries.
The financial services industry is both crowded and efficient. GATX Capital
is one of the larger non-bank capital services companies. GATX Capital competes
with captive leasing companies, leasing subsidiaries of commercial banks,
independent leasing companies, lease underwriters and brokers, investment
bankers, and also with the manufacturers of equipment. Financing companies
compete on the basis of service and effective rates.
GATX Capital participates in selected areas where it believes the application
of its strengths can result in above-market returns in exchange for assuming
appropriate levels of risk. GATX Capital has developed a portfolio of assets
diversified across industries and equipment classifications, the largest of
which include air and rail. At December 31, 1994, GATX Capital had
approximately 650 financing contracts with 450 customers, aggregating $1.3
billion of investments before reserves. Of this amount, 46% consisted of
investments associated with commercial jet aircraft, 17% railroad equipment,
8% warehouse and production equipment, 8% marine equipment, 6% golf courses,
4% real estate, and 11% other equipment.
-3-
Great Lakes Shipping
American Steamship Company (ASC), with the largest carrying capacity of the
domestic Great Lakes vessel fleets, provides modern and efficient waterborne
transportation of dry bulk materials to the integrated steel, electric
utility and construction industries. ASC's fleet is entirely comprised of
self-unloading vessels which do not require any shoreside assistance to
discharge cargo. ASC's eleven vessels range in size from 635 feet to 1,000
feet, transport cargoes from 17,000 net tons up to 70,000 net tons depending
on vessel size, and can unload at speeds from 2,800 net tons per hour up to
10,000 net tons per hour. Because the Great Lakes are fresh water, Great
Lakes vessels are not subject to the severe rusting condition typical of salt
water vessels. As a result, ASC's vessels have expected lives of 50 to 75
years.
In 1994, ASC carried 26.3 million tons of cargo. The primary materials ASC
transported were iron ore, coal and limestone aggregates. Other commodities
transported include sand, salt, potash, gypsum, grain, marble chips, and
slag. ASC's revenue source by industry served during 1994 was 47% steel, 27%
power generation, 18% construction and 8% other. No single customer accounts
for more than 24% of ASC's revenue.
ASC competes with three other U.S. flag Great Lakes commercial fleets, which
include USS Great Lakes Fleet, Inc., Columbia Transportation, and Interlake
Steamship, and with all steel companies which operate captive fleets. Great
Lakes shipping is the only major activity of GATX which consumes substantial
quantities of petroleum products; fuel for these operations is presently in
adequate supply. Competition is based primarily on service and price. ASC
is headquartered in Buffalo, New York, with one regional office.
Logistics and Warehousing
GATX Logistics, Inc. (Logistics) is one of the largest third-party providers
in the United States of distribution and logistics support services,
warehousing facilities, and related real estate services. Logistics operates
113 facilities covering approximately 23 million square feet of warehousing
space in North America with utilization of 92 percent at the end of 1994.
Value-adding services are strategically the most important benefit GATX
Logistics provides. Examples of these services are logistics planning,
information systems, just-in-time delivery systems, packaging, sub-assembly,
and returns management.
GATX Logistics serves about 750 customers, many of which are Fortune 1000-
type companies. Most customers are manufacturers, but the customer base also
includes retailers. In the warehousing sector, GATX Logistics competes
primarily with in-house or private operations and with other national
operators as well as multi-regional and local operators. In providing
transportation and logistics services, GATX Logistics competes with the major
trucking companies and providers of specialized distribution services.
GATX Logistics' revenue source by industry served during 1994 was 21% motor
vehicle parts and components, 19% grocery, 17% consumer products, 9% farm and
construction equipment, 8% electronics, 5% major appliances and 21% other.
No single customer accounts for more than 8% of Logistics' revenue.
-4-
Trademarks, Patents and Research Activities
Patents, trademarks, licenses, and research and development activities are
not material to these businesses taken as a whole.
Seasonal Nature of Business
Great Lakes shipping is seasonal due to the effects of winter weather
conditions. However, seasonality is not considered significant to the
operations of GATX and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
Customer Base
GATX and its subsidiaries are not dependent upon a single customer or a few
customers. The loss of any one customer would not have a material adverse
effect on any segment or GATX as a whole.
Employees
GATX and its subsidiaries have approximately 5,800 active employees, of whom
25% are hourly employees covered by union contracts.
Environmental Matters
Certain of GATX's operations present potential environmental risks
principally through the transportation or storage of various commodities.
Recognizing that some risk to the environment is intrinsic to its operations,
GATX is committed to protecting the environment, as well as complying with
applicable environmental protection laws and regulations. GATX, as well as
its competitors, is subject to extensive regulation under federal, state and
local environmental laws which have the effect of increasing the costs and
liabilities associated with the conduct of its operations. In addition,
GATX's foreign operations are subject to environmental regulations in effect
in each respective jurisdiction.
GATX's policy is to monitor and actively address environmental concerns in a
responsible manner. GATX has received notices from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) that it is a potentially responsible party (PRP) for
study and clean-up costs at 11 sites under the requirements of the Federal
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
(Superfund). Under Superfund and comparable state laws, GATX may be required
to share in the cost to clean-up various contaminated sites identified by the
EPA and other agencies. In all but one instance, GATX is one of a number of
financially responsible PRPs and has been identified as contributing only a
small percentage of the contamination at each of the sites. Due to various
factors such as the required level of remediation and participation in clean-
up efforts by others, GATX's total clean-up costs at these sites cannot be
predicted with certainty; however, GATX's best estimates for remediation and
restoration of these sites have been determined and are included in its
environmental reserves.
-5-
Future costs of environmental compliance are indeterminable due to unknowns
such as the magnitude of possible contamination, the timing and extent of the
corrective actions that may be required, the determination of the company's
liability in proportion to other responsible parties, and the extent to which
such costs are recoverable from third parties including insurers. Also, GATX
may incur additional costs relating to facilities and sites where past
operations followed practices and procedures that were considered acceptable
at the time but in the future may require investigation and/or remedial work
to ensure adequate protection to the environment under current or future
standards. If future laws and regulations contain more stringent
requirements than presently anticipated, expenditures may be higher than the
estimates, forecasts, and assessments of potential environmental costs
provided below. However, these costs are expected to be at least equal to
the current level of expenditures. In addition, GATX has provided
indemnities for environmental issues to the buyers of two divested companies
for which GATX believes it has adequate reserves.
GATX's environmental reserve at the end of 1994 was $96 million and reflects
GATX's best estimate of the cost to remediate its environmental conditions.
Additions to the reserve were $27 million in 1994 and $17 million in 1993;
1994 included $13 million recorded in conjunction with terminal acquisitions.
Expenditures charged to the reserve amounted to $12 million and $10 million
in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
In 1994, GATX made capital expenditures of $15 million for environmental and
regulatory compliance compared to $18 million in 1993. These projects
included marine vapor recovery, discharge prevention compliance, waste water
systems, impervious dikes, tank modifications for emissions control and tank
car cleaning systems. Environmental projects authorized or currently under
consideration would require capital expenditures of approximately $30 million
in 1995. It is anticipated that GATX will make annual expenditures at a
similar level over the next five years.
Item 2. Properties
Information regarding the location and general character of certain
properties of GATX is included in Item 1, Business, of this document and in
Exhibit 13, GATX Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December
31, 1994 on page 66, GATX Location of Operations (page reference is to the
Annual Report to Shareholders). The major portion of Terminals' land is
owned; the balance is leased. Most of the warehouses operated by GATX
Logistics are leased; the others are managed for third parties.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
A railcar owned by Transportation was involved in a derailment near Dunsmuir,
California, in July 1991 that resulted in a spill of metam sodium into the
Sacramento River. Various lawsuits seeking damages in unspecified amounts
have been filed against General American Transportation Corporation (GATC),
or an affiliated company, most of which have been consolidated in the
Superior Court of the State of California for the City and County of San
Francisco (Nos. 2617 and 2620). GATC has now been dismissed by the class
plaintiffs in those cases but remains in the cases with respect to the
plaintiffs who have opted out of the class and with respect to indemnity and
contribution claims. There is one other case seeking recovery for response
costs and natural resource damages: State of California, et al, vs.
Southern Pacific, et al,
-6-
filed in the Eastern District of California (CIV-S-92 1117). All other
actions have been consolidated with these two cases. GATC also has been
named as a potentially responsible party by the State of California with
respect to the assessment and remediation of possible damages to natural
resources which claim has also been consolidated in the suit in the Eastern
District of California. GATC has entered into provisional settlement
agreements with the United States of America, the State of California,
Southern Pacific and certain other defendants settling all material claims
arising out of the above incident in an amount not material to GATC. Such
settlement, however, is conditional on further court action. Further, it is
the opinion of management that if damages are assessed and taking into
consideration the probable insurance recovery, this matter will not have a
material effect on GATX's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
Various lawsuits have been filed in the Superior Court for the State of
California and served upon Terminals, Calnev Pipe Line Company, or another
GATX subsidiary seeking an unspecified amount of damages arising out of the
May 1989 explosion in San Bernardino, California. Those suits, all of which
were filed in the County of San Bernardino unless otherwise indicated, are:
Aguilar, et al, v. Calnev Pipe Line Company, et al, filed February 1990 in
the County of Los Angeles (No. 0751026); Alba, et al, v. Southern Pacific
Railroad Co., et al, filed November 1989 (No. 252842); Terry, et al, v.
Southern Pacific, et al, filed December 1989 (No. 253604); Charles, et al, v.
Calnev Pipe Line, Inc., et al, filed May 1990 (No. 256269); Abrego, et al, v.
Southern Pacific Transportation Corporation, et al, filed May 1990 in the
County of Los Angeles (No. BC 000947); Glaspie, et al, v. Southern Pacific
Transportation, et al, filed May 1990 in the County of Los Angeles (No.
BC002047); Burney, et al, v. Southern Pacific, et al, filed May 1990 in the
County of Los Angeles (BC000876); Ledbetter, et al, v. City of San
Bernardino, et al, filed May 1990 (No. 256173); Mary Washington v. Southern
Pacific, et al, filed May 1990 and settled February 1995 (No. 256346);
Stewart, et al, v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co., et al, filed May 1990 and
settled May 1994 (No. 256464); Pearson v. Calnev Pipe Line Company, et al,
filed May 1990 in the County of San Bernardino (No. 256206); Pollack v.
Southern Pacific Transportation, et al, filed May 1992 (No. 271247); Davis v.
Calnev Pipe Line Company, et al, filed May 1990 (No. 256207); J. Roberts, et
al, v. Southern Pacific Transportation, et al, filed November 1992 and
settled February 1995 (No. 275936); Goldie, et al, v. Southern Pacific, et
al, filed May 1990 and settled July 1994; Irby, et al, v. Southern Pacific,
et al, filed April 1990 and settled May 1994 (No. 255715); Reese, et al, v.
Southern Pacific, et al filed May 1990 and settled April 1994 (No. 256434);
Nancy Washington, et al, v. Southern Pacific, et al, filed May 1990 and
settled March 1994 (No. 256435); and Zamarripa, et al, vs. Southern Pacific
Railroad Company, et al, filed November 1993 (No. 526684). Based upon
information known to management, it remains management's opinion that if
damages are assessed and taking into consideration probable insurance
recovery, the ultimate resolution of the lawsuits arising out of the May 1989
explosion will not have a material effect on GATX's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
The San Bernardino County, California, District Attorney has notified Calnev
Pipe Line Company that the District Attorney expects to pursue an action
against Calnev for the alleged violation of Section 25507 of the California
-7-
Health & Safety Code by failing to report, until May 23, 1994, a purported
release of hazardous materials first discovered in July 1993. According to
the District Attorney, violations of that Section are criminal misdemeanors
punishable by a fine of $25,000 for each day that the release remained
unreported. Calnev does not believe that it violated the reporting
requirement of the Code and intends to vigorously defend any action brought
by the District Attorney which alleges such a violation.
In October 1991, GATX and five of its senior officers were named as
defendants in Searls vs. Glasser, et al, filed in the U.S. District Court for
the Northern District of Illinois, a class action filed on behalf of certain
purchasers of GATX's common stock alleging violation of the securities laws,
common law fraud and negligent misrepresentation in various public statements
made by GATX during 1991 concerning 1992 forecasted earnings. Upon the
completion of extensive discovery, the court granted a motion for summary
judgment in favor of GATX. The plaintiffs have appealed that decision. GATX
believes that the decision of the U.S. District Court will not be reversed on
appeal.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Shareholders
and Board of Directors
GATX Corporation
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and related schedules
of GATX Corporation and subsidiaries listed in Item 14 (a)(1) and (2) of the
Annual Report on Form 10-K of GATX Corporation for the year ended
December 31, 1994. These financial statements and related schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and related schedules based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements
and related schedules. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of GATX Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects, the information
set forth therein.
As discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, in 1992
the company changed its method of accounting for postretirement benefits
other than pensions and income taxes.
