GATX Corporation Reports 2002 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

    *  Board of directors declares quarterly dividend of $.32 per common
        share, unchanged from prior quarter

    CHICAGO, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GATX Corporation (NYSE: GMT)
today announced its 2002 fourth quarter and full year results.  For the 2002
fourth quarter, GATX reported a net loss of $29.4 million or $.60 per diluted
share compared to a net loss of $12.1 million or $.25 per diluted share in the
prior year period.  For the full year, GATX reported net income of $.3 million
compared to $172.9 million or $3.51 per diluted share in 2001.
    The 2002 fourth quarter and full year results include a number of one-time
and air-related items which are detailed in an accompanying table.
Significant 2002 fourth quarter items include $18 million of after-tax
impairment charges on aircraft including GATX's 50% share of an impairment
charge on Fokker aircraft owned by Pembroke, an $11 million after-tax charge
for a reduction in workforce due to the company's exit of the specialty and
venture businesses and company-wide reorganization, and a $9 million after-tax
write-down of goodwill associated with the company's exit from the venture
leasing business.
    Ronald H. Zech, chairman and president of GATX, stated "Results for the
2002 fourth quarter and full year reflect the challenges we continue to face
in our markets.  The rail and technology sectors continue to mirror weak
economic conditions, and volatility and uncertainty remain in the air sector.
We have offset some of this pressure by aggressively maintaining asset
utilization, reducing costs, and maximizing our liquidity position, but we
cannot entirely overcome larger market forces.
    "Although financial results for the year were disappointing, a number of
steps taken in 2002 provide a basis to leverage our performance as underlying
markets recover:

    --  GATX Rail completed several fleet acquisitions in North America and
         expanded its presence in Europe through the acquisition of the
         remainder of KVG.
    --  GATX Air placed all 16 new aircraft deliveries and 10 renewals in
         2002, and maintained nearly 100% fleet utilization in a very
         difficult market.  GATX Air also completed an additional 18 aircraft
         placements within its managed portfolio.
    --  GATX reduced year-over-year SG&A by $40 million, exceeding the target
         established at the beginning of the year.
    --  Continued strong cash flow from operations and portfolio proceeds of
         $1.3 billion enabled GATX to invest over $1.2 billion in its markets
         while also repaying $1.2 billion of maturing debt.
    --  Despite capital market volatility, GATX completed over $1.5 billion of
         financing in 2002, supporting rail, air, and technology investment
         activity while maintaining a sizeable liquidity position.
    --  GATX announced its exit from the specialty and venture businesses,
         heightening the focus on its core markets, and reorganized its
         management structure across the company to institute a flatter, more
         efficient organization.

    "Looking forward to 2003, as previously indicated, we expect the
challenging conditions in our markets to persist throughout the year.  These
conditions, coupled with the potential impact from various macro factors, make
it very difficult to provide earnings guidance at this time.  However, based
in part on the assumption that there is no material change in the current
operating environment, we currently expect 2003 earnings to be in the range of
$1.30 per diluted share, or essentially flat with 2002 when adjusted for
significant one-time items and air impairments.
    "It is important to note that 2003 earnings performance is subject to a
high degree of uncertainty due to a number of factors, both positive and
negative, including: a significant change in the economic environment and
resulting impact on our markets, material deterioration in the air industry
from current conditions, unanticipated asset remarketing gains, timing of
further cost savings initiatives that we will pursue, and any impact of
geopolitical events on the world economy and our end markets."
    Mr. Zech added, "GATX has faced an operating environment that pressured
every facet of our business: weak economic conditions, a three-year downturn
in the rail sector, unprecedented events and uncertainty in the air industry,
a global slowdown in IT spending, and volatile capital markets.  However, I
believe that the steps taken in 2002 to focus on and invest in our franchise
businesses, along with the commitment of our outstanding employees, position
us for the eventual recovery in our markets."

    DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT
    GATX also announced that the board of directors of GATX Corporation
declared a quarterly dividend of $.32 per common share, payable March 31,
2003, to shareholders of record on March 7, 2003.  This quarterly dividend is
unchanged from the prior quarter.
    Mr. Zech added, "The decision to hold the 2003 first quarter dividend flat
with the prior quarter involved careful evaluation as the board balanced a
number of competing issues.  Our markets remain weak, our outlook is subject
to volatility, and if earnings were to remain at today's low level, they would
be insufficient to support the current dividend level.  However, we also
recognize the importance of the dividend to our shareholder base, the
stability it provides during these volatile times, the fact that it is
adequately supported by our strong cash flow, and the possibility that we are
at a low point in the economic and business cycle.
    "Going forward, the board's decision regarding the dividend will continue
to be based on factors such as the timing and magnitude of a recovery in
GATX's core markets and earnings, the stability of our operating environment,
and our capital structure and cash flow projections.  The board will continue
monitoring these factors as the dividend is regularly reviewed."
    The board also declared a quarterly dividend of $.625 per share on the
$2.50 preferred stock, payable March 1, 2003, to shareholders of record on
February 14, 2003.  This quarterly dividend is unchanged from the prior
quarter.

    GATX RAIL
    GATX Rail reported net income of $6.3 million in the 2002 fourth quarter
compared to $22.1 million in the prior year period.  For the full year, 2002
net income was $16.3 million compared to $44.1 million in the prior year.  The
2002 and 2001 full year net income results include a number of large one-time
items such as the DEC goodwill write-down and reduction in workforce charges
in 2002, and the East Chicago repair facility closing costs in 2001.
    Net income in the 2002 fourth quarter was below the prior year period and
recent quarters primarily due to a number of non-comparable items including
positive tax benefits in prior quarters, the absence of material scrapping
gains in the 2002 fourth quarter relative to prior quarters, and unusually
high operating expenses in the 2002 fourth quarter.
    During the year, GATX Rail was primarily focused on balancing asset
utilization, lease rates, and length of renewal term, with a goal of
maximizing revenue while maintaining flexibility to capitalize on improved
market conditions in the future.  Lease renewal rates in 2002 continued to be
down from the prior lease rates.  With over 20,000 cars scheduled for renewal
in 2003, revenues will remain pressured.  However, certain long-term
indicators appear to have turned positive: activity within GATX Rail's
customer base has improved on the basis of order inquiries, utilization is
holding firm, and railcar order backlogs at the manufacturers have improved.
Additionally, GATX Rail is operating more efficiently as a result of SG&A
reductions.
    Utilization of GATX Rail's North American fleet was 91% at the end of the
fourth quarter, flat with the prior quarter and prior year levels.  GATX
Rail's North American fleet was 107,000 cars at year end, a slight decrease
from prior quarters.  In the 2002 fourth quarter, GATX Rail expanded its
international presence with the acquisition of the remainder of KVG, a leading
European-based railcar lessor with 9,000 cars.
North America manufacturing capacity utilization, as reported by the Federal
Reserve, declined to 75% at year end from 76% in the prior quarter.
Additionally, industry-wide chemical car load shipments were up 4% in the 2002
fourth quarter and 2% for the full year.  The increase in shipments is
amplified by the low base in 2001, and existing rail fleets have been
available to absorb this increased activity.

    FINANCIAL SERVICES
    Financial Services reported a fourth quarter net loss of $31.1 million
compared to a net loss of $29.8 million in the prior year period.  For the
2002 full year, Financial Services reported net income of $3.2 million
compared to a net loss of $18.9 million in the prior year.  The 2002 and 2001
net income results include a number of large items including reduction in
workforce charges, and air and goodwill impairments.  In addition, the 2002
results reflect market challenges and resulting weak performance within each
of Financial Services' business lines.
    The primary focal point in Financial Services remains the air sector.  As
noted in slides posted at http://www.gatx.com, GATX Air is scheduled to take delivery
of six new aircraft in 2003, and renew eight existing leases.  Additionally,
depending on developments in the air industry and consistent with activity
across the aircraft leasing sector, unplanned aircraft returns may occur
periodically.  GATX Air will continue to focus on maintaining high asset
utilization and customer and geographic diversity.
    Investment volume for the full year totaled $1.2 billion compared to $1.4
billion in the prior year.  The primary driver behind the investment volume
was the committed aircraft deliveries taken in 2002, and over $250 million of
technology volume.  The 2002 technology volume compares to $440 million in
2001, and reflects the fact that 2001 included a portfolio acquisition
accounting for $130 million of the volume, and general IT spending continued
to slow globally in 2002.  In addition to pursuing traditional new customer
volume, GATX Technology is actively pursuing portfolio acquisition
opportunities.
    Remarketing income, comprised of both gains on asset sales and residual
sharing fees, was $14 million in the fourth quarter compared to $13 million in
the prior year period.  Total 2002 remarketing income of $50 million compares
to $96 million in the prior year.  The 2002 gains were spread across a wide
range of asset classes, while the 2001 gains were heavily weighted toward air
and specialty portfolios.

    CREDIT STATISTICS
    At the end of 2002, the allowance for losses was 6.3% of reservable assets
compared to 6.0% at the end of 2001 and 6.5% at the end of the third quarter.
The Company continues to maintain an overall loss allowance position at the
high end of its stated target range of 4.0%-6.5%.
    Net charge-offs and impairments totaled $94 million during 2002, or 1.3%
of average total assets.  While significantly below the prior year, 2002
levels reflect continued weakness in GATX's markets.  In the prior year, net
charge-offs and impairments totaled $188 million, or 2.6% of average total
assets.
    Non-performing leases and loans at the end of the 2002 totaled $95 million
or 3.2% of Financial Services' investments compared to $96 million (3.4%) at
the end of 2001 and $93 million (3.3%) in the 2002 third quarter.

    (1)  In December 2002, GATX Corporation announced its intent to sell GATX
          Ventures, curtail investment in its Specialty unit, and reorganize
          its management structure.  Related charges include a reduction in
          workforce and the write-off of goodwill associated with the Ventures
          unit.
    (2)  As disclosed in GATX's third quarter 10-Q, the company intended to
          review its exposure, through its 50% interest in Pembroke Group
          Limited, to Fokker-100 jet and Fokker-50 turboprop aircraft.  Upon
          completion of this review, GATX recorded the noted impairment
          charge.
    (3)  Additional air charges recorded in the 2002 fourth quarter relate to
          certain B757, B767, and B737 aircraft.
    (4)  GATX recorded a write-down of goodwill associated with DEC, its
          tankcar leasing operation based in Poland.  This was reported in the
          2002 third quarter and recorded retroactive to January 1, 2002.  The
          goodwill impairment was in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill
          and Other Intangible Assets.
    (5)  As part of the final stages of its sale of GATX Terminals
          Corporation, GATX sold its interest in a bulk-liquid storage
          facility in Mexico and recorded the noted gain in the 2002 first
          quarter.
