Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We fund our investments and meet our debt, lease, and dividend obligations using our available cash balances, as well as cash generated from operating activities, sales of assets, distributions from affiliates, issuances of debt, commercial paper issuances, and committed revolving credit facilities. We primarily use cash from operations to fund daily operations. We use both domestic and international capital markets and banks to meet our debt financing needs.

Material Cash Obligations

The following table shows our material cash obligations, including debt principal and related interest payments, lease payments, and purchase commitments at September 30, 2025 (in millions):

Short-Term Borrowings and Credit Lines and Facilities

We use short-term borrowings as a source of working capital and to temporarily fund differences between our operating cash flows and portfolio proceeds, and our capital investments and debt maturities. We do not maintain or target any particular level of short-term borrowings on a permanent basis. Rather, we will temporarily utilize short-term borrowings at levels we deem appropriate until we decide to pay down these balances.

In the second quarter, we increased our existing $600 million, 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the United States to $632 million and extended the maturity on this facility by one year from May 2029 to May 2030. This facility contains one additional one-year extension option. As of September 30, 2025, the full $632 million was available under this facility. Additionally, in the second quarter, we increased our existing $350 million, 3-year unsecured revolving credit facility in the United States to $368 million and extended the maturity on this facility by one year from May 2027 to May 2028. This facility contains one additional one-year extension option. As of September 30, 2025, the full $368 million was available under this facility.

In Europe, we have a €210 million, 3-year unsecured revolving credit facility, expiring in December 2027. As of September 30, 2025, €120 million was available under this credit facility. In addition, our European subsidiaries have smaller unsecured credit facilities with an aggregate limit of €25.0 million. As of September 30, 2025, €15.0 million was available under these credit facilities, as €10.0 million ($11.7 million) was drawn. The weighted average interest rate of these outstanding borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 3.4%.

Delayed Draw Term Loans

As of September 30, 2025, we had INR 2.0 billion ($22.5 million) available under an outstanding delayed draw term loan in India.

Restrictive Covenants

Our $632 million and $368 million revolving credit facilities in the United States, and our €210 million revolving credit facility in Europe, contain various restrictive covenants, including requirements to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio and an asset coverage test. Some of our bank term loans and other loan agreements have the same financial covenants as these facilities.

The indentures for our public debt also contain various restrictive covenants, including limitations on liens provisions that restrict the amount of additional secured indebtedness that we may incur. Additionally, certain exceptions to the covenants permit us to incur an unlimited amount of purchase money and nonrecourse indebtedness.

At September 30, 2025, our European rail subsidiaries had outstanding term loans, public debt, and private placement debt balances totaling €790.0 million, and Trifleet had an outstanding term loan of €116.0 million. The loans are guaranteed by GATX Corporation and are subject to similar restrictive covenants as the revolving credit facility noted above. In addition, Rail India had outstanding term loans of INR 12.4 billion ($139.7 million) that are subject to certain restrictive covenants.

At September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants and conditions of all of our credit agreements, indentures, and loans. We do not anticipate any covenant violations nor do we expect that any of these covenants will restrict our operations or our ability to obtain additional financing.

Credit Ratings

The global capital market environment and outlook may affect our funding options and our financial performance. Our access to capital markets at competitive rates depends on our credit rating and rating outlook, as determined by rating agencies.

GATX Common Stock Repurchases

On January 25, 2019, our board of directors approved a $300.0 million share repurchase program, pursuant to which we are authorized to purchase shares of our common stock in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 plans. The share repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date, does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares of common stock, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The timing of repurchases will be dependent on market conditions and other factors.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 125,709 shares of common stock for $18.6 million, excluding commissions. We repurchased 166,400 shares of common stock for $21.8 million during the same period in 2024. As of September 30, 2025, $46.5 million remained available under the repurchase authorization.
