Current report
In the three months ended September 30, 2026, maintenance expense increased $31.5 million. The acquisition of railcars from Wells Fargo led to an increase of $35.1 million. Aside from this impact, maintenance expense decreased $3.6 million, driven by fewer regulatory compliance events and lower costs of repairs. Depreciation expense increased $51.2 million, primarily due to the impact of the railcars acquired from Wells Fargo.
Current report
In the third quarter of 2025, GATX recorded $3.8 million of expense associated with the acquisition of Wells Fargo's rail assets. These expenses were recorded in SG&A.

Current wording
GATX has the option to acquire up to 100% of the ownership of GABX over time. On June 30, 2026, GATX exercised its first call option for $66.2 million.

Previous wording
GATX, and markets more broadly, are facing heightened uncertainty related to trade policy, geopolitical tensions, and overall economic conditions. These conditions did not have a significant impact on our business and financial results during the first six months of 2026. However, recent developments, including tariff announcements and the ongoing conflict with Iran, have increased economic uncertainty and could have a more significant impact on GATX’s financial results in the future. For example, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have and could continue to increase energy prices, disrupt supply chains, reduce global air travel, and negatively impact our customers. A sustained economic slowdown resulting from these or other factors could impact GATX directly and indirectly, including through higher costs for new railcars or other assets or softening demand for our products and services. Management continues to monitor the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment closely to identify potential risks and to manage our business accordingly. However, we believe we are in a strong position to manage these risks due to our diverse fleet, broad global customer base, long-term lease portfolio, strong balance sheet, and access to capital.

The variance was largely due to higher revenue at Rail North America and Rail International, higher net gain on asset dispositions at Rail North America, and higher earnings at the Rolls-Royce & Partners Finance joint ventures (collectively, the "RRPF affiliates"), partially offset by higher maintenance expense at Rail North America, higher depreciation expense at Rail North America and Rail International, and higher interest expense.
