Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2017 included $12.2 million of revenues from G&W's Continental Europe intermodal business, ERS Railways B.V. (ERS), which was sold in June 2018.

Jack Hellmann, Chairman and CEO of G&W, commented, “In the fourth quarter of 2018, our reported diluted EPS were $0.94 compared with $6.81 in the fourth quarter of 2017. Our adjusted diluted EPS increased 30% to $1.00 in the fourth quarter of 2018, led by a 17% increase in our North American operating income due to 5.8% growth in carloads and a 250 basis point improvement in our operating ratio. The strong results in North America more than offset weaker performance in our Australian and U.K./European operations.”(1)
“For the full year, our reported diluted EPS were $4.03 in 2018 compared with $8.79 in 2017. Our adjusted diluted EPS increased 32.3% to $3.85 in 2018 and we expect double digit adjusted diluted EPS growth in 2019.”(1)
“In addition to solid earnings growth, G&W generated record cash flow in 2018. With strong cash generation, which significantly exceeded our reported net income, and approximately $455 million of availability under our revolving credit facility, we continue to evaluate potential investments in multiple geographies as well as investments in our own shares. During the fourth quarter of 2018, we repurchased 2.4 million shares of our common stock for approximately $190 million.”

| (a) |
|
Allocation of adjusted cash flow to noncontrolling interest (Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets' (MIRA) 48.9% equity ownership of G&W Australia Holdings LP (GWA) since December 1, 2016) is calculated as 48.9% of the total of (i) cash flow provided by operating activities of G&W’s Australian Operations, less (ii) net purchases of property and equipment of G&W’s Australian Operations. The timing and amount of actual distributions, if any, from GWA to G&W and MIRA made in any given period will vary and could differ materially from the amounts presented. During the year ended December 31, 2018, GWA made A$65.0 million of such distributions of which A$33.2 million (or $24.6 million at the applicable exchange rates at the time the payments were made) and A$31.8 million (or $23.6 million at the applicable exchange rates at the time the payments were made) was distributed to G&W and MIRA, respectively, and no such distributions were made for the year ended December 31, 2017. G&W expressly disclaims any direct correlation between the allocation of adjusted cash flow to noncontrolling interest and actual distributions made in any given period. |
| (b) |
|
Core capital expenditures represent purchases of property and equipment, as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, less grant proceeds from outside parties, insurance proceeds for the replacement of assets and proceeds from disposition of property and equipment, each of which as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, less new business investments and grant funded projects. |
| (c) |
|
Grant funded projects represent purchases of property and equipment for projects partially or entirely funded by outside parties, net of grant proceeds from outside parties as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. |

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) and the adjusted free cash flow measures of adjusted net cash provided by operating activities attributable to G&W, adjusted free cash flow attributable to G&W and adjusted free cash flow attributable to G&W before new business investments and grant funded projects, 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 the adjusted free cash flow measures, 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 adjusted free cash flow measures 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 percentages and per share amounts).

| (a) |
|
Allocation of adjusted cash flow to noncontrolling interest (MIRA's 48.9% equity ownership of GWA since December 1, 2016) is calculated as 48.9% of the total of (i) cash flow provided by operating activities of G&W’s Australian Operations, less (ii) net purchases of property and equipment of G&W’s Australian Operations. The timing and amount of actual distributions, if any, from GWA to G&W and MIRA made in any given period will vary and could differ materially from the amounts presented. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, GWA made A$65.0 million of such distributions of which A$33.2 million (or $24.6 million at the applicable exchange rates at the time the payments were made) and A$31.8 million (or $23.6 million at the applicable exchange rates at the time the payments were made) was distributed to G&W and MIRA, respectively, and no such distributions were made for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017. G&W expressly disclaims any direct correlation between the allocation of adjusted cash flow to noncontrolling interest and actual distributions made in any given period. |
