Reported operating income from G&W's North American Operations decreased 5.8% to $82.1 million; Adjusted operating income from G&W's North American Operations decreased 5.9% to $83.0 million.(1)
  • Australia: Operating revenues from G&W's 51.1% owned Australian Operations increased 50.1% to $81.3 million from $54.2 million, primarily due to new operations as well as an increase in metallic ores revenues and agricultural products revenues. Reported operating income from G&W's Australian Operations increased to $22.3 million from $4.4 million; Adjusted operating income from G&W's Australian Operations increased to $21.8 million from $7.4 million.(1)
  • U.K./Europe: Operating revenues from G&W's U.K./European Operations increased 29.3% to $176.7 million from $136.7 million, primarily due to new operations.

Jack Hellmann, Chairman, President and CEO of G&W commented, "In the third quarter of 2017, we reported financial results that were modestly weaker than expected, with reported diluted EPS of $0.80 and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.81. In North America, our same railroad shipments declined 1.9% in the third quarter, primarily due to lower agricultural products carloads caused by drought in the Midwest. Overall we were pleased with the performance of our North American operating team in the third quarter as we successfully navigated through two hurricanes and related precautionary shutdowns of several short lines. In addition, we completed the formation of our CG Railway 50-50 joint venture through which we now provide rail ferry service from Mobile, Alabama to Coatzacoalcos, Mexico."(1)

"In the U.K./Europe, the turn-around in our financial performance was right on target and business conditions have continued to improve. In Australia, although shipments of coal were disrupted by strikes at certain customer mines in the Hunter Valley in the third quarter, the structure of our contract mitigated much of the financial impact and we also commenced spot movements of coal for new customers."

Mr. Hellmann continued, "Our outlook for G&W remains positive. In North America, although we continue to face weather-driven variability in our grain and coal shipments, broader economic activity is solid and we expect to benefit from a tightening trucking market. In Australia, we are pursuing multiple new projects amidst an improved commodity price environment. In the U.K., multiple revenue and efficiency measures have taken effect and we see a good peak season for intermodal shipments in the months ahead. Finally, we continue to generate strong free cash flow and to evaluate a range of acquisition and investment opportunities across our global footprint of railroads."

Impact of Glencore Rail (NSW) Pty Limited (GRail) Acquisition on G&W Financial Presentation

In conjunction with the December 1, 2016 acquisition of GRail, G&W issued a 48.9% equity stake in G&W's Australian subsidiary, G&W Australia Holdings LP (GWA), the holding company for all of G&W's Australian businesses, to Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets (MIRA). G&W retained a 51.1% interest in GWA and continues to consolidate 100% of GWA in its financial statements and reports a noncontrolling interest for MIRA's 48.9% equity ownership. As a result, G&W's third quarter 2017 operating income includes 100% of the Australian business, while net income attributable to G&W reflects its 51.1% ownership position in the Australian business.

Prior to the GRail acquisition, G&W's Australian Operations provided rail operator services to GRail, which were recorded as freight-related revenues. These freight-related services continued post acquisition, but are eliminated in consolidation. Revenues from the GRail acquisition are now included in G&W's consolidated freight revenues from new operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release contains references to adjusted operating income, adjusted operating ratio, adjusted net income attributable to G&W, adjusted diluted earnings per common share (EPS), free cash flow and free cash flow attributable to G&W, which are "non-GAAP financial measures" as this term is defined in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In accordance with these rules, G&W has reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

Management views these non-GAAP financial measures as important measures of G&W's operating performance or, in the case of free cash flow, an important financial measure of how well G&W is managing its assets and a useful indicator of cash flow that may be available for discretionary use by G&W. Management also views these non-GAAP financial measures as a way to assess comparability between periods. Key limitations of the free cash flow measure include the assumptions that G&W will be able to refinance its existing debt when it matures and meet other cash flow obligations from financing activities, such as principal payments on debt.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as an alternative to, their most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The following tables set forth reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure ($ in millions, except per share amounts).
