Trinity Industries, Inc. Announces the Impact of Border Issues on Quarterly Deliveries

Trinity Industries, Inc. (NYSE:TRN) (“Trinity” or the “Company”) today announced that the Company delivered 4,325 new railcars in the third quarter. Deliveries were 685 units below the Company’s third quarter projection due to the closing of the U.S.-Mexico border by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency (“CBP”). In addition, increased state vehicle inspections have resulted in truck traffic congestion, negatively impacting the Company’s supply chain. Continued rail and truck congestion at the border will negatively impact the Company’s deliveries and supply chain until the congestion is resolved. Trinity is actively monitoring rail and truck traffic as both continue to be impacted.

On September 20, 2023, the CBP suspended U.S. bound cross-border rail traffic in Eagle Pass, Texas, the primary border crossing Trinity uses for railcar deliveries from its manufacturing facilities in Sabinas and Monclova, Mexico. According to the CBP, this action was taken to assist U.S. Border Patrol due to the recent influx of migrants at the border. While rail traffic operations resumed on September 23, there are still substantial congestion and rail traffic challenges.

Trinity remains in close contact with all stakeholders, including the relevant government agencies, and continues to evaluate available alternatives for rail and truck transportation between Mexico and the United States. Trinity will provide an update on the situation and its financial impact on the Company’s third quarter earnings call, scheduled for November 2, 2023.
