Trinity Industries, Inc. Completes Railcar Partnership Restructuring; Raises EPS Guidance

Key Terms

non-cash pre-tax gain financial

A non-cash pre-tax gain is an increase in reported profit shown before taxes that does not involve receiving actual cash — for example, an accounting adjustment when an asset is revalued or a past loss is reversed. Investors watch these gains because they can make a company’s earnings look stronger on paper without improving real cash available for operations, so distinguishing them from cash-generated profit helps assess true financial health.

forward-looking statements regulatory

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Form 10-K regulatory

A Form 10-K is a comprehensive report that publicly traded companies are required to file annually with regulators. It provides a detailed overview of a company's financial health, operations, and risks, similar to a detailed health report. Investors use this information to assess the company's performance and make informed decisions about buying or selling its stock.

Form 10-Q regulatory

A Form 10-Q is a detailed report that publicly traded companies are required to file with regulators three times a year, providing an update on their financial health and business activities. It is important for investors because it offers timely insights into a company's performance, helping them make informed decisions about buying or selling stocks. Think of it as a regular check-up report that shows how well a company is doing.

Form 8-K regulatory

A Form 8-K is a report that companies file with the government to share important news quickly, such as changes in leadership, major business deals, or financial updates. It matters because it helps investors stay informed about significant events that could affect the company's value or stock price.

Anticipated EPS impact: $1.50

Revised full-year 2025 EPS guidance: $3.05 - $3.20

Expected non-cash pre-tax gain: $190 million

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Trinity Industries, Inc. (NYSE: TRN) (“Trinity” or the “Company”) today announced that on December 30, 2025 it completed a strategic restructuring of its railcar investment partnerships with Napier Park, a leading alternative credit platform. These transactions deliver an anticipated 2025 EPS impact of $1.50. As a result, Trinity is raising its full year EPS guidance to a range of $3.05 to $3.20.

Before the restructuring, Trinity held a 43% stake in TRIP Rail Holdings LLC (“TRIP Holdings”), which owned over 17,000 railcars through its subsidiaries Tribute Rail LLC (“Tribute”) and Triumph Rail LLC (“Triumph”). Trinity also owned 31% of RIV 2013 Rail Holdings LLC (“RIV 2013”), which owns more than 6,200 railcars via its subsidiary TRP 2021 LLC (“TRP 2021”).

Through this transaction, Napier Park acquired 99.8% ownership of Triumph’s immediate parent company, Triumph Rail Holdings LLC (“Triumph Holdings”), and Trinity acquired sole ownership of RIV 2013 and TRP 2021. TRP 2021 and Triumph hold similarly diversified railcar fleets with attractive, below-market interest rates on their debt with anticipated repayment dates in 2027. Trinity now wholly owns RIV 2013 and 0.2% of Triumph Holdings, while Napier Park owns 99.8% of Triumph Holdings. Tribute remains a subsidiary of TRIP Holdings under the current joint venture ownership structure, with Napier Park owning 57% and Trinity owning 43% of TRIP Holdings.

In the fourth quarter, Trinity preliminarily expects to recognize a non-cash pre-tax gain of approximately $190 million from the sale of its equity stake in Triumph Holdings, which highlights the intrinsic market value of Trinity’s lease fleet above book value and the long-term appreciation of rail assets.

“This transaction demonstrates the strength of our investor partnerships and that railcars are ideal investable assets for private capital. Napier Park began investing with Trinity in 2013 and is our longest-standing RIV partner. During this time, they have contributed $850 million in equity and have grown their invested fleet to 33,000 railcars,” said Eric Marchetto, Trinity’s Chief Financial Officer. “We look forward to expanding our partnership with Napier Park and leveraging new opportunities for long-term growth.”

“I want to congratulate the team on this successful restructuring,” said Trinity’s Chief Executive Officer and President, Jean Savage. “This partnership proves the value creation that comes from railcar management and the strength of the Trinity platform.”
