Trinity Industries (TRN) Misses Q1 EPS by 2c, Revenues Beat

Trinity Industries (NYSE: TRN) reported Q1 EPS of $0.11, $0.02 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.13. Revenue for the quarter came in at $615.2 million versus the consensus estimate of $584.7 million.

“Coming into 2020, Trinity was rapidly and effectively executing on a number of optimization efforts to align with the Company’s go-forward business strategy as well as responding to the decline in railcar demand from the slowing industrial economy in the preceding year,” said Jean Savage, Trinity Industries CEO and President. “Our first quarter results reflect solid progress on a number of actions taken to improve the performance of the business. While we have not lost sight of our longer-term goals, the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic is unprecedented, and our first priority is the health and safety of our employees and the residents of the communities in which we live and work. The United States government cited the rail and highway industries as critical infrastructure to our country’s response efforts to this pandemic. I applaud our dedicated employees for their service and commitment to business continuity and keeping critical supply chains operational for essential goods and services to move across North America.”

Ms. Savage continued, “We expect COVID-19 to have a negative impact on demand for our products and services, clouding our forecasting abilities and limiting visibility into our financial performance for 2020. Trinity’s leadership team has stress tested our business model in several scenarios, and we continue to expect positive cash flow generation from our platform of businesses. Based on our current knowledge and analysis of market conditions, we believe the resiliency of Trinity’s rail platform, solid cash flow generation, and strong liquidity and balance sheet position the Company to withstand the volatile disruption from the global pandemic and take advantage of potential opportunities that can lead to long-term value creation.”
