Competition could result in decreased profitability. Weak economic conditions, financial market volatility and other factors may decrease customer demand for GATX s assets and services and negatively impact GATX s business and results of operations. GATX s allowance for possible losses may prove inadequate. Continued deterioration in the global capital markets, weakening of macroeconomic conditions, and changes in credit ratings may limit the ability of GATX to secure financing and may increase its borrowing costs. Changes in laws, rules or regulations could negatively affect GATX s business and profitability. GATX s assets may become obsolete. High energy prices could have a negative effect on the demand for GATX s products and services. Events or conditions negatively affecting certain assets, customers or geographic regions in which GATX has a large investment could have a negative impact on its results of operations. GATX is subject to extensive environmental regulations and the costs of remediation may be material. GATX has been, and may in the future be, involved in various types of litigation. GATX may not be able to procure insurance on a cost-effective basis. The fair market value of GATX s long-lived assets may differ from the value of those assets reflected in its financial statements. GATX may incur future asset impairment charges. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates could have a negative impact on GATX s results of operations. GATX may be unable to maintain assets on lease or charter at satisfactory rates. GATX is subject to the inherent risks of its joint venture investments. GATX cannot predict with certainty the impact that inflation or deflation will have on its financial results. Unfavorable conditions on the Great Lakes could disrupt normal business operations, which could result in increased costs and decreases in revenues. Many of GATX s employees are represented by unions, and the failure to successfully negotiate collective bargaining agreements may result in strikes, work stoppages or substantially higher labor costs.
