Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
     The foregoing consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared from the books and records of Trinity Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Trinity”, “Company”, “we”, or “our”) including its majority-owned subsidiary, TRIP Rail Holdings LLC (“TRIP Holdings”). In our opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2011, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, have been made in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of seasonal and other factors, the results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 may not be indicative of expected results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2011. These interim financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Stockholders’ Equity
     On December 9, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new $200 million share repurchase program, effective January 1, 2011. This program replaced the Company’s previous share repurchase program and expires December 31, 2012. No shares were repurchased under this program for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Total
  $ 2,867.6     $ 3,014.5  
 
               
     The estimated fair value of our convertible subordinated notes was based on a quoted market price as of March 31, 2011. The estimated fair values of our 2006, 2009, and 2010 secured railcar equipment notes, promissory notes, TRIP Holdings warehouse loan, and term loan are based on our estimate of their fair value as of March 31, 2011 determined by discounting their future cash flows at a current market interest rate. The carrying value of our Trinity Industries Leasing Company, (“TILC”) warehouse facility approximates fair value because the interest rate adjusts to the market interest rate and there has been no change in the Company’s credit rating since the loan agreement was renewed in February 2011. The fair values of all other financial instruments are estimated to approximate carrying value.
     Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market to that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to establish a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values are listed below:
     Level 1 — This level is defined as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities, and restricted cash are instruments of the United States Treasury, fully-insured certificates of deposit or highly-rated money market mutual funds.
     Level 2 — This level is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company’s fuel derivative instruments, which are commodity options, are valued using energy and commodity market data. Interest rate hedges are valued at exit prices obtained from each counterparty.
     Level 3 — This level is defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Note 3. Segment Information
     The Company reports operating results in five principal business segments: (1) the Rail Group, which manufactures and sells railcars and related parts and components; (2) the Construction Products Group, which manufactures and sells highway products and concrete and aggregates; (3) the Inland Barge Group, which manufactures and sells barges and related products for inland waterway services; (4) the Energy Equipment Group, which manufactures and sells products for energy related businesses, including structural wind towers, tank containers and tank heads for pressure and non-pressure vessels, propane tanks and utility, traffic, and lighting structures, along with transmission poles; and (5) the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group (“Leasing Group”), which provides fleet management, maintenance, and leasing services. The segment All Other includes our captive insurance and transportation companies; legal, environmental, and upkeep costs associated with non-operating facilities; other peripheral businesses; and the change in market valuation related to ineffective commodity hedges. Gains and losses from the sale of property, plant, and equipment which are related to manufacturing and dedicated to the specific manufacturing operations of a particular segment are recorded in the cost of revenues of that respective segment. Gains and losses from the sale of property, plant, and equipment which can be utilized by multiple segments are recorded in the cost of revenues of the All Other segment.

     Sales and related net profits from the Rail Group to the Leasing Group are recorded in the Rail Group and eliminated in consolidation. Sales between these groups are recorded at prices comparable to those charged to external customers taking into consideration quantity, features, and production demand. Amortization of deferred profit on railcars sold to the Leasing Group is included in the operating profits of the Leasing Group. Sales of railcars from the lease fleet are included in the Leasing Group.
     The financial information for these segments is shown in the tables below. We operate principally in North America.

     The Leasing Group’s interest expense is not a component of operating profit and includes the effects of hedges related to the Leasing Group’s debt. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, Leasing Group interest expense was $36.7 million and $34.8 million, including $11.5 million and $11.8 million of TRIP Holdings interest expense, respectively. Rent expense, which is a component of operating profit, was $12.1 million for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
     Equipment consists primarily of railcars leased by third parties. The Leasing Group purchases equipment manufactured predominantly by the Rail Group and enters into lease contracts with third parties with terms generally ranging between one and twenty years. The Leasing Group primarily enters into operating leases. Future contractual minimum rental revenues on leases are as follows:

     Debt. The Leasing Group’s debt at March 31, 2011 consists of both recourse and non-recourse debt including debt owed by TRIP Holdings which is secured solely by the assets of TRIP Holdings. See Note 9 Debt for the form, maturities, and descriptions of Leasing Group debt. As of March 31, 2011, Trinity’s wholly-owned subsidiaries included in the Leasing Group held equipment with a net book value of approximately $2,195.6 million that is pledged as collateral for Leasing Group debt held by those subsidiaries, including equipment with a net book value of $52.0 million securing capital lease obligations. TRIP Holdings equipment with a net book value of $1,175.3 million, excluding deferred profit on railcars sold to TRIP Holdings, is pledged as collateral for the TRIP Holdings warehouse loan. See Note 5 Investment in TRIP Holdings for further discussion.
     Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. In prior years, the Leasing Group completed a series of financing transactions whereby railcars were sold to one or more separate independent owner trusts (“Trusts”). Each of the Trusts financed the purchase of the railcars with a combination of debt and equity. In each transaction, the equity participant in the Trust is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the Trust and therefore, the debt related to the Trust is not included as part of the consolidated financial statements. The Leasing Group, through newly formed, wholly-owned, qualified subsidiaries, leased railcars from the Trusts under operating leases with terms of 22 years, and subleased the railcars to independent third party customers under shorter term operating rental agreements.

Table of Contents

     These Leasing Group subsidiaries had total assets as of March 31, 2011 of $225.5 million, including cash of $90.7 million and railcars of $100.7 million. The right, title, and interest in each sublease, cash, and railcars are pledged to collateralize the lease obligations to the Trusts and are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Trinity does not guarantee the performance of the subsidiaries’ lease obligations. Certain ratios and cash deposits must be maintained by the Leasing Group’s subsidiaries in order for excess cash flow, as defined in the agreements, from the lease to third parties to be available to Trinity. Future operating lease obligations of the Leasing Group’s subsidiaries as well as future contractual minimum rental revenues related to these leases due to the Leasing Group are as follows:

     Operating lease obligations totaling $33.3 million are guaranteed by Trinity Industries, Inc. and certain subsidiaries. See Note 5 of the December 31, 2010 Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Form 10-K for a detailed explanation of these financing transactions.
Note 5. Investment in TRIP Holdings
     In 2007, the Company and five other equity investors unrelated to the Company or its subsidiaries formed TRIP Holdings for the purpose of providing railcar leasing and management services in North America. From 2007 through June 2009, TRIP Holdings, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TRIP Rail Leasing LLC (“TRIP Leasing”), purchased railcars from the Company’s Rail and Leasing Groups funded by capital contributions from TRIP Holdings’ equity investors and borrowings under TRIP Leasing’s Warehouse Loan Agreement. Initially, the Company provided 20.0% of the total capital contributions required by TRIP Holdings in exchange for 20.0% of the equity in TRIP Holdings. Subsequently, the Company acquired an additional 37.1% equity ownership in TRIP Holdings from other equity investors for a total ownership interest of 57.1% as of March 31, 2011. The Company receives distributions from TRIP Holdings to equity investors, when allowed, in proportion to its equity interest and has an interest in the net assets of TRIP Holdings upon a liquidation event in proportion to its equity interest as well. The terms of the Company’s equity investment are identical to the terms of each of the other equity investors. Railcars purchased from the Company by TRIP Leasing were required to be purchased at prices comparable with the prices of all similar railcars sold by the Company during the same period for new railcars and at prices based on third-party appraised values for used railcars. As of March 31, 2011, TRIP Leasing had purchased $1,284.7 million of railcars from the Company. Trinity has no remaining equity commitment to TRIP Holdings as of March 31, 2011 and has no obligation to guarantee performance under the debt agreement, guarantee any railcar residual values, shield any parties from losses, or guarantee minimum yields. The manager of TRIP Holdings, Trinity Industries Leasing Company, may be removed without cause as a result of a majority vote of the non-Company equity members. Under TRIP Leasing’s Warehouse Loan Agreement, the lender’s availability period to finance additional railcar purchases ended in June 2009. See Note 9 Debt for a description of TRIP Leasing’s debt obligations.

Note 6. Derivative Instruments
     We use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates and pricing for zinc, natural gas, and diesel fuel, as well as to convert a portion of our variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. Additionally, we use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We also use derivatives to lock in fixed interest rates in anticipation of future debt issuances. Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting standards. See Note 2 Fair Value Accounting to the consolidated financial statements for discussion of how the Company valued its commodity hedges and interest rate swaps and options at March 31, 2011.

with a railcar leasing transaction in 2006 and settled at maturity in the first quarter of 2006. These interest rate swaps were being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $4.5 million in income recorded in AOCL through the date the related debt issuance closed in May 2006. The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance.
     In anticipation of a future debt issuance, we entered into interest rate swap transactions during the fourth quarter of 2006 and during 2007. These instruments, with a notional amount of $370 million, hedged the interest rate on a portion of a future debt issuance associated with an anticipated railcar leasing transaction, which closed in May 2008. These instruments settled during the second quarter of 2008 and were accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $24.5 million recorded as a loss in AOCL through the date the related debt issuance closed in May 2008. The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance.
     During 2008, we entered into interest rate swap transactions, with a notional amount of $200 million, which were being used to counter our exposure to changes in the variable interest rate associated with our TILC warehouse facility. The effect on interest expense included the mark to market valuation on the interest rate swap transactions and monthly interest settlements. These interest rate hedges expired during the fourth quarter of 2010.
     In May 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap transaction that is being used to fix the Libor component of the debt issuance which closed in May 2008. The effect on interest expense results primarily from monthly interest settlements.
     Between 2007 and 2009, TRIP Holdings, as required by its warehouse loan agreement, entered into interest rate swap and option transactions, all of which qualify as cash flow hedges. The purpose of these transactions was to reduce the effect of changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2011, maturities for cash flow hedges ranged from 2011-2023. The effect on interest expense results from monthly interest settlements.

     Natural gas and diesel fuel
     We maintain a program to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the price of natural gas and diesel fuel purchases. The intent of the program is to protect our operating profit from adverse price changes by entering into derivative instruments. For those instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, any changes in their valuation are recorded directly to the consolidated statement of operations. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 for diesel fuel hedges was an asset of $1.0 million and $0.4 million of income in AOCL. There were no outstanding natural gas hedges at March 31, 2011.
     Foreign exchange hedge
     During the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we entered into foreign exchange hedges to mitigate the impact on operating profit of unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These instruments are short term with quarterly maturities and no remaining balance in AOCL as of March 31, 2011.
     Zinc
     We maintain a program to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the price of zinc purchases. The intent of this program is to protect our operating profit from adverse price changes by entering into derivative instruments. The effect of these derivative instruments on the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was not significant.

Note 8. Warranties
     Depending on the product, the Company provides warranties against materials and manufacturing defects generally ranging from one to five years. The warranty costs are estimated using a two-step approach. First, an engineering estimate is made for the cost of all claims that have been filed by customers. Second, based on historical claims experience, a cost is accrued for all products still within a warranty period for which no claims have been filed. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized related to products covered by warranties and assesses the adequacy of the resulting reserves on a quarterly basis. The changes in the accruals for warranties for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

     We have a $425.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility which matures on October 19, 2012. As of March 31, 2011, we had letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $81.8 million, leaving $343.2 million available for borrowing. Other than with respect to such letters of credit, there were no borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2011 or for the three month period then ended. Of the outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2011, $3.0 million are expected to expire in 2011 and the remainder in 2012. The majority of our letters of credit obligations support the Company’s various insurance programs and generally renew each year. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at prime or Libor plus 75.0 basis points. Trinity’s revolving credit facility requires maintenance of ratios related to interest coverage for the leasing and manufacturing operations, leverage, and minimum net worth. As of March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
     The Company’s 3 7/8% convertible subordinated notes are recorded net of unamortized discount to reflect their underlying economics by capturing the value of the conversion option as borrowing costs. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, capital in excess of par value included $92.8 million related to the estimated value of the Convertible Subordinated Notes’ conversion options. Debt discount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet is being amortized through June 1, 2018 to yield an effective annual interest rate of 8.42% based upon the estimated market interest rate for comparable non-convertible debt as of the issuance date of the Convertible Subordinated Notes. Total interest expense recognized on the Convertible Subordinated Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:
                 
    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,

     At March 31, 2011, the Convertible Subordinated Notes were convertible at a price of $51.54 per share resulting in 8,731,083 issuable shares. As of March 31, 2011, if the Convertible Subordinated Notes had been converted, no shares would have been issued since the trading price of the Company’s common stock was below the conversion price of the Convertible Subordinated Notes. The Company has not entered into any derivatives transactions associated with these notes.
     The $475 million TILC warehouse loan facility, established to finance railcars owned by TILC, had $80.2 million outstanding and $394.8 million available as of March 31, 2011. The warehouse loan is a non-recourse obligation secured by

a portfolio of railcars and operating leases, certain cash reserves, and other assets acquired and owned by the warehouse loan facility. The principal and interest of this indebtedness are paid from the cash flows of the underlying leases. Advances under the facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin, for an all-in interest rate of 2.29% at March 31, 2011. In February 2011, the warehouse loan facility was renewed for an additional two years and now matures in February 2013. Amounts outstanding at maturity, absent renewal, will be payable in three installments in August 2013, February 2014, and August 2014.
     In June 2007, TRIP Leasing entered into a $1.19 billion Warehouse Loan Agreement which contains a floating rate revolving facility (the “TRIP Warehouse Loan”) of which $980.5 million in borrowings were outstanding as of March 31, 2011. The TRIP Warehouse Loan is a non-recourse obligation, secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases, certain cash reserves, and other assets acquired and owned by TRIP Leasing. The TRIP Warehouse Loan consists of Tranche A bearing an interest rate of the one month USD Libor plus 1.00% and Tranche B bearing an interest rate of the one month USD Libor plus 2.25%. The TRIP Warehouse Loan had a two-year revolving availability period that ended in June 2009. Commencing July 1, 2010, all excess cash flow, as defined by the Warehouse Loan Agreement, must be applied to reductions in principal in lieu of dividends to equity members of TRIP Holdings. Commencing June 2011, a majority of the TRIP Warehouse Loan lenders have the right to compel TRIP Leasing to commence repayment of the outstanding balance in four quarterly installments ending March 2012. In the event such action is taken, it is not expected that TRIP Leasing will be able to make such payments from its anticipated cash balances and net cash flow from operations prior to that date. Although the quarterly installment due dates are subject to extension by written agreement between TRIP Leasing and its lenders, TRIP Leasing’s lenders have the right to direct that TRIP Leasing take certain actions including the sale of assets sufficient to retire the installment that is due. TRIP Leasing is considering a number of financing alternatives to address these quarterly installments. If TRIP Leasing is unable to achieve such alternatives to the satisfaction of the TRIP Warehouse Loan’s lenders, the Company’s investment in TRIP Holdings of $95.5 million may become impaired. See Note 5 Investment in TRIP Holdings for a discussion of the Company’s investment in TRIP Holdings.
     Terms and conditions of other debt, including recourse and non-recourse provisions, are described in Note 11 of the December 31, 2010 Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Form 10-K.

     During the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, we closed an audit of one of our Mexican subsidiaries’ 2002 tax year. The 2003 tax year of our Mexican subsidiaries is still under review and thus the statute of limitations remains open from 2003 forward.
     We are currently under two separate Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examination cycles for the years ended 2004 through 2005 and 2006 through 2008. Therefore, our statute of limitations remains open from the year ended December 31, 2004 and forward. Our 2004-2005 exam cycle is currently under administrative appeal for certain unresolved issues. Due to the uncertainty of the length of the appeals process and possible post-appeals litigation on any issues, the statute of limitations related to the 2004-2005 exam cycle will remain open for an indeterminable period of time. Likewise, as the 2006-2008 cycle is still in the examination level, we are unable to determine how long these periods will remain open.
     Our various other European subsidiaries, including subsidiaries that were sold in 2006, are impacted by various statutes of limitations which are generally open from 2003 forward. An exception to this is our discontinued operations in Romania, which have been audited through 2004.
     Generally, states’ statutes of limitations in the United States are open from 2002 forward; however, some state statutes of limitations will re-open as a result of the settlement of our 1998-2002 cycle up to one year after we filed the amended tax returns to reflect the IRS adjustments and thus will remain open throughout 2011.
     The change in unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was as follows:

Table of Contents

     Additions for tax positions related to the current year in the amounts of $0.9 million and $0.8 million recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were amounts provided for tax positions previously taken in foreign jurisdictions and tax positions taken for Federal and state income tax purposes as well as deferred tax liabilities that have been reclassified to uncertain tax positions.
     Additions for tax positions of prior years for the three months ended March 31, 2011 of $2.6 million are primarily due to a Federal tax position taken on prior year returns. If the IRS prevails we will be entitled to a corresponding deduction in a foreign subsidiary’s tax return. Thus, we have recorded a deferred tax asset for the reduction in foreign taxes that would be related to this adjustment. The $5.8 million increase for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was due to Federal positions that were submitted to the IRS. We anticipate making a payment related to this position when the current examination cycle closes. In addition, we have also reflected additional tax reserves related to our acquisition of Quixote Corporation during the first quarter of 2010.
     Reductions for tax positions of prior years were primarily related to state taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2010. There were no reductions for the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, we received additional facts on certain state tax positions that led us to change the measurement of certain state tax benefits previously recorded. This reduction in state positions was accompanied by a reduction in related deferred tax assets. Additionally, we completed several state audits for which the Company’s tax position was not challenged by the state and for which the positions are now effectively settled as well as a Federal tax position that we believed would be sustained upon audit and therefore was no longer at risk.
     Settlements during the three months ended March 31, 2010 related to a first quarter tax settlement of the 2002 Mexico tax return of one of our subsidiaries. We paid $2.1 million in taxes, penalties, and interest related to Mexico. The excess of the amount reserved over the settlement amount was $1.8 million, which is recorded as a benefit to income taxes.
     The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits including interest and penalties at March 31, 2011 and 2010, that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized was $14.8 million and $17.7 million, respectively.
     Trinity accounts for interest expense and penalties related to income tax issues as income tax expense. Accordingly, interest expense and penalties associated with an uncertain tax position are included in the income tax provision. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $12.1 million and $11.2 million, respectively. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, included an (increase) reduction in income tax expense of $(0.9) million and $3.5 million, respectively, in interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Note 15. Net Income Attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. Per Common Share
     Basic net income attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Trinity remaining after allocation to unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be antidilutive, the calculation of diluted net income attributable to Trinity per common share includes the net impact of unvested restricted shares and shares that could be issued under outstanding stock options. Total weighted average restricted shares and antidilutive stock options were 2.9 million shares and 3.4 million shares for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
     The computation of basic and diluted net income attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. is as follows:

Note 16. Contingencies
     The Company is involved in claims and lawsuits incidental to our business. Based on information currently available, it is management’s opinion that the ultimate outcome of all current litigation and other claims, including settlements, in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s overall financial condition for purposes of financial reporting. However, resolution of certain claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could impact the operating results of the reporting period in which such resolution occurs.
     Trinity is subject to Federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment and the workplace. The Company has reserved $10.7 million to cover our probable and estimable liabilities with respect to the investigations, assessments, and remedial responses to such matters, taking into account currently available information and our contractual rights to indemnification and recourse to third parties. However, estimates of liability arising from future proceedings, assessments, or remediation are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings involving the environment and the workplace or, if we are found to be responsible or liable in any such litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to the Company. We believe that we are currently in substantial compliance with environmental and workplace laws and regulations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our MD&A is presented in the following sections:
    Executive Summary
 
    Results of Operations
 
    Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
    Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
 
    Forward-Looking Statements
     Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Trinity Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Trinity”, “Company”, “we”, or “our”) and related notes in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Executive Summary
     The economic and financial crisis experienced by the United States economy since 2008 has impacted our businesses. New orders for railcars and barges dropped in 2009 as the transportation industry suffered a significant decline in the shipment of freight. The transportation industry experienced weakness throughout 2009, but showed signs of recovery in late 2010. New orders for railcars improved significantly in early 2011 due to demand for the shipment of commodities, replacement of older railcars, and tax benefits from taking delivery of railcars in 2011 and 2012. Orders for structural wind towers have been slow since mid-2008 when energy development companies encountered tightened credit markets coupled with lower demand and prices for electricity and natural gas sales. The slowdown in the residential and commercial construction markets impacted our Construction Products Group as well. We continually assess our manufacturing capacity and take steps to align our production capacity with demand for our products. As a result of our assessment, we have adapted to the rapid decline in market conditions by reducing our production footprint and staffing levels and causing certain facilities to be on non-operating status, but to the extent that demand increases, these facilities on non-operating status would be available for future operations. Due to recent improvements in demand, certain facilities have taken on additional production staff in late 2010 and early 2011.
     The Company’s revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 were $644.2 million representing an increase of $190.2 million or 41.9% over the same period in 2010. Operating profit for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 totaled $85.5 million compared with $52.0 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in both revenues and operating profit resulted generally from higher shipments in our manufacturing segments while our Leasing Group experienced an increase in operating profit as a result of increased utilization, higher rental revenues from lease fleet additions, and higher rental rates. See the discussion below regarding the performance of each of our segments.
     Our backlog at March 31, 2011 compared with prior periods follows:

     For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company received orders for approximately 18,770 railcars including a supply agreement with GATX Corporation to deliver 12,500 railcars over a five-year period, significantly increasing the Company’s Rail Group backlog. Approximately 43% of our railcar backlog is expected to be delivered in 2011 with the remainder to be delivered from 2012 through 2015. The majority of our backlog for barges is expected to be delivered in 2011. For multi-year barge orders, the deliveries for 2011 are included in the backlog at this time; deliveries beyond 2011 are not included in the backlog if specific production quantities for future years have not been determined. Approximately 25% of our backlog for structural wind towers is expected to be delivered in 2011 with the remainder to be delivered evenly over 2012 and 2013.

     In February 2011, the $475 million TILC warehouse loan facility was renewed for an additional two years and now matures in February 2013. Amounts outstanding at maturity, absent renewal, will be payable in three installments in August 2013, February 2014, and August 2014.
     Commencing June 2011, a majority of the TRIP Warehouse Loan (the “TRIP Warehouse Loan”) lenders have the right to compel TRIP Leasing to commence repayment of the outstanding balance in four quarterly installments ending March 2012. In the event such action is taken, it is not expected that TRIP Leasing will be able to make such payments from its anticipated cash balances and net cash flow from operations prior to that date. Although the quarterly installment due dates are subject to extension by written agreement between TRIP Leasing and its lenders, TRIP Leasing’s lenders have the right to direct that TRIP Leasing take certain actions including the sale of assets sufficient to retire the installment that is due. TRIP Leasing is considering a number of financing alternatives to address these quarterly installments. If TRIP Leasing is unable to achieve such alternatives to the satisfaction of the TRIP Warehouse Loan’s lenders, the Company’s investment in TRIP Holdings of $95.5 million as of March 31, 2011 may become impaired. See Note 5 Investment in TRIP Holdings for a discussion of the Company’s investment in TRIP Holdings. Also see Financing Activities.
     On December 9, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new $200 million share repurchase program, effective January 1, 2011. This program replaced the Company’s previous share repurchase program and expires December 31, 2012. No shares were repurchased under this program for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

     Other Income and Expense. Interest expense, net of interest income, was $44.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 and did not change significantly when compared to $45.3 million for the same period last year. Interest income decreased $0.1 million over the same three month period last year. The increase in Other, net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 of $2.3 million was primarily due to the $1.8 million write-down of the Company’s pre-acquisition investment in Quixote Corporation during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and higher gains on equity investments.
     Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes results in effective tax rates different from the statutory rates. The effective tax rate for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 varied from the Federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to state income taxes and changes in certain tax reserves and, in 2010, the release of income tax reserves in Mexico in excess of the amounts settled. The following is a reconciliation between the statutory United States Federal income tax rate and the Company’s effective income tax rate:

     For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Rail Group received orders for approximately 18,770 railcars including a supply agreement with GATX Corporation to deliver 12,500 railcars over a five-year period. Approximately 43% of our railcar backlog is expected to be delivered in 2011 with the remainder to be delivered from 2012 through 2015. The total amount of the backlog dedicated to the Leasing Group was supported by lease commitments with external customers.
     For the three month period ended March 31, 2011, the operating profit for the Rail Group increased $17.2 million compared to the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to significantly higher volume of railcars delivered during the period.
     In the three months ended March 31, 2011, railcar shipments included sales to the Leasing Group of $85.4 million compared to $38.0 million in the comparable period in 2010 with a deferred profit of $8.1 million compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2010. Sales to the Leasing Group and related profits are included in the operating results of the Rail Group but are eliminated in consolidation.

     Revenues increased for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 due to higher shipments of structural wind towers and storage tanks. Operating profit for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was substantially unchanged from the same period in 2010 as profit from increased shipments was offset by production inefficiencies and a change in product mix of structural wind tower shipments. As of March 31, 2011, the backlog for structural wind towers was approximately $974.0 million compared to approximately $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2010. Approximately 25% of our backlog for structural wind towers is expected to be delivered in 2011 with the remainder to be delivered evenly over 2012 and 2013.

     Total revenues increased for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period last year due to increased utilization, rental revenues related to additions to the lease fleet, higher rental rates, and total sales from the lease fleet.
     Operating profit for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 increased compared to the same period in 2010 due to increased utilization, rental revenues related to lease fleet additions, higher rental rates, and lower maintenance expenses partially offset by lower profit from lease fleet sales.
     To fund the continued expansion of its lease fleet to meet market demand, the Leasing Group generally uses its non-recourse $475 million warehouse facility or excess cash to provide initial financing for a portion of the purchase price of the railcars. After initial financing, the Leasing Group generally obtains long-term financing for the railcars in the lease fleet through non-recourse asset-backed securities, long-term non-recourse operating leases pursuant to sales/leaseback transactions, or long-term recourse debt such as equipment trust certificates. See Financing Activities.

     The increase in revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 over the same period last year was primarily due to an increase in intersegment sales by our transportation company. Operating loss decreased for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 over the same period last year primarily due to higher intersegment transportation sales, gains on property dispositions, and the recognition of certain gains related to fuel hedges.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
     Operating Activities. Net cash required by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $11.5 million and $16.5 million, respectively. Cash flow required by operating activities decreased slightly due to higher operating profits in 2011 compared with 2010 partially offset by an overall increase in accounts receivable and inventories in 2011.
     Accounts receivables at March 31, 2011 as compared to the accounts receivables balance at December 31, 2010 increased by $75.6 million or approximately 32.6% due primarily to higher receivables from the Rail and Energy Equipment groups. Raw materials inventory at March 31, 2011 increased by $45.8 million or approximately 27.0% since December 31, 2010 primarily attributable to higher levels in our Rail and Inland Barge groups required to meet production demands. Finished goods inventory at March 31, 2011 increased by $18.8 million or approximately 23.9% since December 31, 2010 primarily attributable to our Inland Barge and Construction Products groups reflecting higher levels of production. Accounts payable increased by $47.0 million from December 31, 2010 primarily due to higher production levels in the business groups mentioned. Accrued liabilities did not change significantly from December 31, 2010. We continually review reserves related to bad debt as well as the adequacy of lower of cost or market valuations related to accounts receivable and inventory.
     Investing Activities. Net cash required by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $35.6 million compared to $268.1 million of cash required by investing activities for the same period last year. Investments in short-term marketable securities decreased by $41.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with an increase of $195.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $89.5 million, of which $81.5 million were for additions to the lease fleet. This compares to $44.0 million of capital expenditures for the same period last year, of which $37.8 million were for additions to the lease fleet. Proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment were $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 composed primarily of railcar sales from the lease fleet totaling $10.0 million. This compares to $10.9 million for the same period in 2010 composed primarily of railcar sales from the lease fleet of $8.1 million.
     Financing Activities. Net cash required by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $46.6 million compared to $69.5 million of cash required by financing activities for the same period in 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 we retired $42.8 million and $62.9 million, respectively, in debt. We intend to use our cash and credit facilities to fund the operations, expansions, and growth initiatives of the Company.
     At March 31, 2011 and for the three month period then ended, there were no borrowings under our $425 million revolving credit facility that matures on October 19, 2012. Interest on the revolving credit facility is calculated at prime or Libor plus 75.0 basis points. After $81.8 million was considered for letters of credit, $343.2 million was available under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2011.
     The $475 million TILC warehouse loan facility, established to finance railcars owned by TILC, had $80.2 million outstanding and $394.8 million available as of March 31, 2011. The warehouse loan is a non-recourse obligation secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases, certain cash reserves, and other assets acquired and owned by the warehouse loan facility. The principal and interest of this indebtedness are paid from the cash flows of the underlying leases. Advances under the facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin, for an all-in interest rate of 2.29% at March 31, 2011. In February 2011, the warehouse loan facility was renewed for an additional two years and now matures in February 2013. Amounts outstanding at maturity, absent renewal, will be payable in three installments in August 2013, February 2014, and August 2014.

     In June 2007, TRIP Leasing entered into a $1.19 billion Warehouse Loan Agreement which contains a floating rate revolving facility of which $980.5 million in borrowings were outstanding as of March 31, 2011. The TRIP Warehouse Loan is a non-recourse obligation, secured by a portfolio of railcars and operating leases, certain cash reserves, and other assets acquired and owned by TRIP Leasing. The TRIP Warehouse Loan consists of Tranche A bearing an interest rate of the one month USD Libor plus 1.00% and Tranche B bearing an interest rate of the one month USD Libor plus 2.25%. The TRIP Warehouse Loan had a two-year revolving availability period that ended in June 2009. Commencing July 1, 2010, all excess cash flow, as defined by the Warehouse Loan Agreement, must be applied to reductions in principal in lieu of dividends to equity members of TRIP Holdings. Commencing June 2011, a majority of the TRIP Warehouse Loan lenders have the right to compel TRIP Leasing to commence repayment of the outstanding balance in four quarterly installments ending March 2012. In the event such action is taken, it is not expected that TRIP Leasing will be able to make such payments from its anticipated cash balances and net cash flow from operations prior to that date. Although the quarterly installment due dates are subject to extension by written agreement between TRIP Leasing and its lenders, TRIP Leasing’s lenders have the right to direct that TRIP Leasing take certain actions including the sale of assets sufficient to retire the installment that is due. TRIP Leasing is considering a number of financing alternatives to address these quarterly installments. If TRIP Leasing is unable to achieve such alternatives to the satisfaction of the TRIP Warehouse Loan’s lenders, the Company’s investment in TRIP Holdings of $95.5 million may become impaired. See Note 5 Investment in TRIP Holdings for a discussion of the Company’s investment in TRIP Holdings.
     On December 9, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new $200 million share repurchase program, effective January 1, 2011. This program replaced the Company’s previous share repurchase program and expires December 31, 2012. No shares were repurchased under this program for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
     The economic and financial crisis experienced by the United States economy since 2008 has impacted our businesses. New orders for railcars and barges dropped in 2009 as the transportation industry suffered a significant decline in the shipment of freight. The transportation industry experienced weakness throughout 2009, but showed signs of recovery in late 2010. New orders for railcars improved significantly in early 2011 due to demand for the shipment of commodities, replacement of older railcars, and tax benefits from taking delivery of railcars in 2011 and 2012. Orders for structural wind towers have been slow since mid-2008 when energy development companies encountered tightened credit markets coupled with lower demand and prices for electricity and natural gas sales. The slowdown in the residential and commercial construction markets impacted our Construction Products Group as well. We continually assess our manufacturing capacity and take steps to align our production capacity with demand for our products. As a result of our assessment, we have adapted to the rapid decline in market conditions by reducing our production footprint and staffing levels and causing certain facilities to be on non-operating status, but to the extent that demand increases, these facilities on non-operating status would be available for future operations. Due to recent improvements in demand, certain facilities have taken on additional production staff in late 2010 and early 2011.
Equity Investment
     See Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about the investment in TRIP Holdings.
Future Operating Requirements
     We expect to finance future operating requirements with cash flows from operations, and depending on market conditions, short-term and long-term debt, and equity. Debt instruments that the Company has utilized include its revolving credit facility, the TILC warehouse facility, senior notes, convertible subordinated notes, asset-backed securities, and sale/leaseback transactions. The Company has also issued equity at various times. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had $343.2 million available under its revolving credit facility and $394.8 million available under its TILC warehouse facility. Despite the volatile conditions in both the credit and stock markets, the Company believes it has access to adequate capital resources to fund operating requirements and is active in the credit markets.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
     See Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about off balance sheet arrangements.
Derivative Instruments
     We use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates and pricing for zinc, natural gas, and diesel fuel, as well as to convert a portion of our variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt. Additionally, we use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We also use derivatives to lock in fixed interest rates in anticipation of future debt issuances. Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting standards. See Note 2 Fair Value Accounting to the consolidated financial statements for discussion of how the Company valued its commodity hedges and interest rate swaps and options at March 31, 2011.

     During 2005 and 2006, we entered into interest rate swap transactions in anticipation of a future debt issuance. These instruments, with a notional amount of $200 million, fixed the interest rate on a portion of a future debt issuance associated with a railcar leasing transaction in 2006 and settled at maturity in the first quarter of 2006. These interest rate swaps were being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $4.5 million in income recorded in AOCL through the date the related debt issuance closed in May 2006. The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance.
     In anticipation of a future debt issuance, we entered into interest rate swap transactions during the fourth quarter of 2006 and during 2007. These instruments, with a notional amount of $370 million, hedged the interest rate on a portion of a future debt issuance associated with an anticipated railcar leasing transaction, which closed in May 2008. These instruments settled during the second quarter of 2008 and were accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $24.5 million recorded as a loss in AOCL through the date the related debt issuance closed in May 2008. The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance.
     During 2008, we entered into interest rate swap transactions, with a notional amount of $200 million, which were being used to counter our exposure to changes in the variable interest rate associated with our TILC warehouse facility. The effect on interest expense included the mark to market valuation on the interest rate swap transactions and monthly interest settlements. These interest rate hedges expired during the fourth quarter of 2010.
     In May 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap transaction that is being used to fix the Libor component of the debt issuance which closed in May 2008. The effect on interest expense results primarily from monthly interest settlements.
     Between 2007 and 2009, TRIP Holdings, as required by its warehouse loan agreement, entered into interest rate swap and option transactions, all of which qualify as cash flow hedges. The purpose of these transactions was to reduce the effect of changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2011, maturities for cash flow hedges ranged from 2011-2023. The effect on interest expense results from monthly interest settlements.

     Natural gas and diesel fuel
     We maintain a program to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the price of natural gas and diesel fuel purchases. The intent of the program is to protect our operating profit from adverse price changes by entering into derivative instruments. For those instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, any changes in their valuation are recorded directly to the consolidated statement of operations. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 for diesel fuel hedges was an asset of $1.0 million and $0.4 million of income in AOCL. There were no outstanding natural gas hedges at March 31, 2011.
     Foreign exchange hedge
     During the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we entered into foreign exchange hedges to mitigate the impact on operating profit of unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These instruments are short term with quarterly maturities and no remaining balance in AOCL as of March 31, 2011.
     Zinc
     We maintain a program to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the price of zinc purchases. The intent of this program is to protect our operating profit from adverse price changes by entering into derivative instruments. The effect of these derivative instruments on the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was not significant.
Contractual Obligation and Commercial Commitments
     As of March 31, 2011, other commercial commitments related to letters of credit increased slightly to $81.8 million from $79.9 million as of December 31, 2010. Refer to Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for changes to our outstanding debt and maturities. Other commercial commitments that relate to operating leases including sale/leaseback transactions were basically unchanged as of March 31, 2011.

Item 5. Other Information
     On July 21, 2010, the United States Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Financial Reform Act”).
