On a fully diluted basis, earnings per share were $2.47 compared to fully diluted earnings of $2.06 for the 1996 period. Due to record asset remarketing income at Financial Services in the first half of 1997, it is expected that earnings will be lower in the second half of the year. Gross income increased by 29% while net income increased by 22% as a result of strong asset remarketing gains (Financial Services) as well as growth in the leased railcar fleet and incremental income from Canadian operations (Transportation). The Great Lakes Shipping segment (American Steamship) also posted asset remarketing income by partnering with Financial Services in a third-party vessel transaction. Results for the first six months of 1997 reflect Transportation's mid-1996 acquisition of the remaining interest in its Canadian subsidiary, CGTX, Inc. Gross income for the first six months of 1997 also increased due to equipment sales at Financial Services' Centron subsidiary; the remaining 50% interest in Centron was acquired in late October 1996. These increases were partially offset by results at GATX's terminals and pipelines segment (Terminals) where a difficult petroleum storage market has continued to cause pricing pressure. In addition, corporate expense was higher in 1997 primarily due to the reversal of a $2.6 million (after-tax) litigation reserve in 1996. Operating activities provided $122 million of cash flow, an increase of $23 million from the first six months of 1996. The $21 million increase in realized gains on disposition of leased equipment effectively decreased cash from operating activities as the full amount of proceeds was included in investing activities as portfolio proceeds. On June 16, 1997, GATX completed the redemption of its $3.875 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred"). The outstanding Preferred (3,390,880 shares) was either converted to Common Stock at a conversion rate of 1.1494 shares of Common Stock per convertible Preferred share or redeemed at a price of $51.6576 per share (including accrued dividends). The conversion of 3,371,706 preferred shares resulted in issuing 3,875,127 shares of common, and the remaining preferred shares were redeemed. Capital additions and portfolio investments for the first six months totaled $445 million, a decrease of $183 million from the first six months of 1996. Financial Services' portfolio investments for the first six months of $267 million were $100 million less than the prior year. Portfolio investments in both the primary and secondary markets are opportunistic in nature and therefore do not fall evenly from period to period. Transportation invested $144 million in its railcar fleet versus $171 million in last year's first six months. Terminals' capital spending of $31 million was $55 million less than last year, which included $31 million attributable to the now completed Central Florida Pipeline expansion project. Full year capital additions are forecasted to be approximately $400 million compared to the $527 million expended in 1996, which included the acquisition of CGTX. Portfolio investments are projected to approximate $550 million compared to the $659 million expended in 1996. These projections may change significantly depending on market conditions and opportunities to acquire portfolios of desirable assets. It is anticipated that capital additions and portfolio investments will be funded with both internally generated funds and GATX's available external sources. -5- GATX, through its subsidiaries, had available unused uncommitted lines of credit of $413 million at June 30, 1997. General American Transportation Corporation (GATC) has a $650 million shelf registration for pass through trust certificates and debt securities, under which $207 million of pass through certificates have been issued; no notes were issued during the first six months. GATX Capital has a $300 million shelf registration, under which $268 million of medium term notes have been issued; GATX Capital did not issue any medium-term notes during the quarter. Management's discussion includes statements which may constitute forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This information may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Although the company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, unanticipated changes to the aircraft, petroleum, chemical, and steel industries. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Following is a discussion of the operating results of GATX's business segments: RAILCAR LEASING AND MANAGEMENT (TRANSPORTATION) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Six Months Ended (In Millions) June 30 ------------------ 1997 1996 Change ------ ------ ---------------- Gross Income $234.9 $196.4 $ 38.5 20% Net Income $ 36.5 $ 32.8 $ 3.7 11% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transportation's gross income for the first six months of 1997 increased 20% from the comparable prior year period. The consolidation of CGTX accounted for $14 million of the increase with the remaining revenue increase primarily due to approximately 2,100 more cars on lease as well as higher overall average lease rates. About 74,300 tank and freight cars were on lease throughout North America at the end of the first half of the year, including 8,900 cars in Canada. With a total fleet of 79,000 railcars, utilization ended the first half at 94%, up from slightly under 93% at June 30, 1996. Net income increased 11% from the first six months of 1996 primarily due to the same reasons that revenues increased. While all major cost areas (asset ownership, repairs, and SG&A) increased, total costs as a percentage of revenue were approximately the same as for the first six months of 1996. Because the majority of U.S. railcar additions have been financed using sale-leasebacks in recent years, those asset ownership costs are included as operating lease expense (a component of operating expenses), whereas CGTX railcars are financed with debt and, therefore, CGTX asset ownership costs are recorded as depreciation and interest. For the first six months of 1996, the operating results of CGTX were recorded as equity in net earnings of affiliates, whereas in 1997 CGTX's revenues and costs were fully consolidated. -6- FINANCIAL SERVICES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Six Months Ended (In Millions) June 30 ------------------ 1997 1996 Change ------ ------ ---------------- Gross Income $286.8 $132.6 $154.2 116% Net Income $ 36.0 $ 20.0 $ 16.0 80% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gross income at Financial Services of $287 million increased $154 million from the first half of 1996 due to technology equipment sales, higher asset remarketing income, and increased lease volume. Of the $154 million increase, $94 million is due to technology equipment sales, primarily from Centron, one of Financial Services' technology subsidiaries. No comparable technology equipment revenue was recorded for the first half of 1996 as the remaining interest in Centron was acquired in late 1996. Asset remarketing income includes both asset disposition gains and residual sharing fees. Pretax asset disposition gains were $41 million for the first six months of 1997 compared to $18 million for the first six months of 1996. Residual sharing fees of $12 million increased $10 million over the prior year's first half. Asset remarketing income does not occur evenly period to period, and it is expected that Financial Services' results for the first half of 1997 will exceed the second half. Net income for the first six months was a record $36 million, a $16 million increase over the comparable 1996 period due to the increased gross income, partially offset by increased cost of equipment sales, SG&A, operating lease expenses, and interest expense. The provision for possible losses of $6 million decreased $1 million from the prior year. The loss reserve at June 30, 1997 was $121 million compared to $114 million at December 31, 1996, resulting largely from the year-to-date provision. TERMINALS AND PIPELINES - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Six Months Ended (In Millions) June 30 ------------------ 1997 1996 Change ------ ------ ---------------- Gross Income $146.2 $145.8 $ .4 - Net Income $ 1.1 $ 9.3 $(8.2) (88)% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Terminals' gross income for the first half of 1997 is essentially unchanged from the comparable 1996 period. Low petroleum inventory levels have created a supply-demand imbalance, substantially weakening the petroleum bulk liquid storage market. This imbalance continues to cause pricing pressure for petroleum storage services. Chemical storage revenue approximates the prior year while pipeline revenues increased compared to the first half of 1996. Throughput of petroleum and chemical products was 347 million barrels for the first six months of 1997 compared to 344 million barrels for the same period in 1996. Capacity utilization at wholly-owned facilities was 91% at June 30, 1997 versus 86% a year ago. -7- Terminals net income for the first six months of 1997 was $1 million, a significant decrease from last year's $9 million. Included in the 1997 results is $3.5 million (pretax) of costs for transformation initiatives as Terminals continues its rationalization process and evaluation of its markets and facilities. On a constant revenue base, asset ownership costs (depreciation and interest) were almost $7 million over the first half of 1996 reflecting the full impact of business expansion and facilities improvements in the prior year. Equity earnings were $5.5 million, $.5 million lower than the first half of 1996, primarily due to lower earnings from a Japanese joint venture. LOGISTICS AND WAREHOUSING - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Six Months Ended (In Millions) June 30 ------------------ 1997 1996 Change ------ ------ ---------------- Gross Income $127.4 $138.9 $(11.5) (8)% Net Incom $ .1 $ .4 $ (.3) (75)% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GATX Logistics' gross income of $127 million decreased 8% from the first six months of 1996 reflecting slower production periods by certain customers, non-renewing customers, and fewer secondary public warehousing locations. Logistics reported net income of $.1 million for the first six months compared with $.4 million for the same period in 1996. The results are primarily attributable to the same reasons that revenue decreased. GREAT LAKES SHIPPING - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Six Months Ended (In Millions) June 30 ------------------ 1997 1996 Change ------ ------ ---------------- Gross Income $ 31.4 $ 27.9 $ 3.5 13% Net Income $ 3.7 $ 1.5 $ 2.2 147% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- American Steamship's gross income for the first six months of 1997 was 13% over the comparable prior year period largely due to the gain from a third-party vessel financing and remarketing transaction, which was partnered with Financial Services. Customer demand for American Steamship's primary cargoes (iron ore, coal, and limestone) remains strong and weather conditions have been favorable compared to the same period in 1996. American Steamship's net income for the first six months of 1997 was $3.7 million compared to $1.5 million for the prior year period driven by the third-party vessel transaction, strong customer demand, and favorable weather conditions. -8- COMPARISON OF SECOND QUARTER 1997 TO SECOND QUARTER 1996 GENERAL For the second quarter of 1997 net income was $30 million or $1.23 per share as compared to $26 million or $1.09 per share for the second quarter of 1996. GROSS INCOME - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In Millions) Three Months Ended June 30 ------------------ Business Segment 1997 1996 Change - ---------------------------------- ------ ------ ---------------- Railcar Leasing and Management $118.7 $99.2 $19.5 20% Financial Services 142.4 70.8 71.6 101 Terminals and Pipelines 75.7 73.0 2.7 4 Logistics and Warehousing 65.3 68.7 (3.4) (5) Great Lakes Shipping 30.5 26.6 3.9 15 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NET INCOME - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In Millions) Three Months Ended June 30 ------------------ Business Segment 1997 1996 Change - ---------------------------------- ----- ------ ---------------- Railcar Leasing and Management $18.5 $17.1 $ 1.4 8% Financial Services 13.1 10.8 2.3 21 Terminals and Pipelines 2.5 4.6 (2.1) (46) Logistics and Warehousing .5 .1 .4 400 Great Lakes Shipping 3.3 1.3 2.0 154 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Increases and decreases in gross income and net income between these quarters for all segments were principally due to the same reasons as discussed previously in relation to the six-month periods. -9- PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.

At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. In addition to changes in the computation, the terms "primary" and "fully diluted" earnings per share will be replaced with the terms "basic" and "diluted," respectively. Under the new requirements for calculating primary/basic earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact is expected to result in an increase in primary/basic earnings per share of approximately $.03 and $.02 per share for each of the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively. The impact of FAS 128 on the calculation of fully diluted/diluted earnings per share for these quarters is expected to result in no change. </FN> -13- Exhibit 11B GATX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES COMPUTATION OF NET INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK AND COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS ASSUMING FULL DILUTION In Millions, Except Per Share Amounts Three Months Six Months Ended June 30 Ended June 30 --------------- --------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 ------ ------ ------ ------ Average number of shares used to compute primary earnings per share .................... 21.8 20.5 21.3 20.5 Common Stock issuable upon assumed conversion of Preferred Stock ........................... 3.1 4.0 3.5 4.0 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total shares ...................................... 24.9 24.5 24.8 24.5 ====== ====== ====== ====== Net income, as adjusted per primary computation ... $ 26.9 $ 22.4 $ 54.8 $ 43.8 Add - Dividends paid and accrued on preferred stock 3.3 3.3 6.6 6.6 ------ ------ ------ ------ Net income, as adjusted ........................... $ 30.2 $ 25.7 $ 61.4 $ 50.4 ====== ====== ====== ====== Net income per share, assuming full dilution....... $ 1.21 $ 1.05 $ 2.47 $ 2.06 ====== ====== ====== ====== <FN> Note: See discussion of FAS 128 effect on Exhibit 11A. </FN> -14- EXHIBITS FILED WITH DOCUMENT (a) 11A Statement regarding computation of earnings per share. 11B Statement regarding computation of earnings per share assuming full dilution. 27 Financial Data Schedule for GATX Corporation for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.
