Cash Flow Discussion

We generate a significant amount of cash from operating activities and investment portfolio proceeds. We also access domestic and international capital markets by issuing unsecured or secured debt and commercial paper. We use these resources, along with available cash balances, to fulfill our debt, lease, and dividend obligations, to support our share repurchase programs, and to fund portfolio investments and capital additions. We primarily use cash from operations to fund daily operations. The timing of asset dispositions and changes in working capital impact cash flows from portfolio proceeds and operations. As a result, these cash flow components may vary materially from quarter to quarter and year to year.

As of September 30, 2024, we had an unrestricted cash balance of $503.7 million. We also have a $600 million, 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the United States that matures in 2029 and a $350 million, 3-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the United States that matures in 2027, both of which were fully available as of September 30, 2024.

The following table shows our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30 (in millions):

20242023
Net cash provided by operating activities$396.1$400.1
Net cash used in investing activities(1,131.4)(860.6)

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash(0.8)(0.2)
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash during the period$53.0$(100.8)

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $4.0 million compared to the same period in 2023. Comparability among reporting periods is impacted by the timing of changes in working capital items. Specifically, higher payments for interest, income taxes, maintenance, and other operating expenses were partially offset by higher cash receipts from revenue and lower payments for operating leases.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The following table shows our principal sources and uses of cash flows from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30 (in millions):

20242023
Portfolio investments and capital additions (1)$(1,325.1)$(1,237.5)
Portfolio proceeds (2)171.7208.2
Proceeds from short-term investments (3)—150.0
Other investing activity22.018.7
Net cash used in investing activities$(1,131.4)$(860.6)

(1) Portfolio investments and capital additions primarily consist of purchases of operating assets and capitalized asset improvements. See the discussions of segment operating results sections in this Item for more detail.

(2) Portfolio proceeds primarily consist of proceeds from sales of operating assets.

(3) Short-term U.S. Treasury Obligations with an original maturity date of over 90 days.

The increase in portfolio investments and capital additions of $87.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to more railcars and locomotives acquired at Rail North America, partially offset by fewer aircraft spare engines acquired at GEL, fewer railcars acquired at GRE and Rail India, and fewer tank containers acquired at Trifleet. The timing of investments depends on purchase commitments, transaction opportunities, and market conditions.

Portfolio proceeds decreased by $36.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, resulting from the absence of proceeds from the sales of two Specialized Gas Vessels at Engine Leasing and the sale of Rail Russia at Rail International in the prior year.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

The following table shows our principal sources and uses of cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30 (in millions):

(2) In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased 166,400 shares of common stock for $21.8 million. We did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the same period in 2023.
