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 debt. 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 March 31, 2025, we had an unrestricted cash balance of $757.2 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 March 31, 2025. In addition, we have a €210 million, 3-year unsecured revolving credit facility in Europe that matures in 2027, of which €130 million was available as of March 31, 2025.
The following table shows our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31 (in millions):
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $124.2 | $97.6 |
| Net cash used in investing activities | (234.7) | (311.6) |
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 461.6 | 245.0 |
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | 4.7 | (2.6) |
| Net increase in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash during the period | $355.8 | $28.4 |
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $26.6 million compared to the same period in 2024. Comparability among reporting periods is impacted by the timing of changes in working capital items. Specifically, higher cash receipts from revenue, lower payments for operating leases, and lower payments for taxes, were partially offset by higher payments for interest expense, maintenance, and other operating expenses.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
The following table shows our principal sources and uses of cash flows from investing activities for the three months ended March 31 (in millions):
| 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Portfolio investments and capital additions (1) | $(296.3) | $(378.6) |
| Portfolio proceeds (2) | 68.3 | 59.7 |
| Purchases of assets previously leased (3) | (15.0) | — |
| Proceeds from sales of other assets (4) | 7.1 | 7.1 |
| Other investing activity | 1.2 | 0.2 |
| Net cash used in investing activities | $(234.7) | $(311.6) |
(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) In 2025, we purchased 802 railcars that were previously on operating leases, compared to zero railcars in 2024.
(4) Proceeds from sales of other assets were primarily related to railcar scrapping.
The decrease in portfolio investments and capital additions of $82.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to fewer railcars and locomotives acquired at Rail North America and Rail India and fewer tank containers acquired at Trifleet, partially offset by more railcars acquired at GRE. The timing of investments depends on purchase commitments, transaction opportunities, and market conditions.
Portfolio proceeds increased by $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to more railcars and locomotives sold at Rail North America.
