NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

GATX Corporation ("GATX" or the "Company") is headquartered in Chicago,
Illinois and provides services primarily through three operating segments: GATX
Rail ("Rail"), GATX Air ("Air"), and GATX Specialty ("Specialty"). GATX
specializes in railcar and locomotive leasing, aircraft leasing, and the leasing
of other large-ticket equipment. In addition, GATX owns and operates a fleet of
self-unloading vessels on the Great Lakes through its wholly owned subsidiary
American Steamship Company ("ASC"). GATX also invests in companies and joint
ventures that complement its existing business activities. GATX partners with
financial institutions and operating companies to improve its scale in certain
markets, broaden its diversification within asset classes and enter new markets.

On June 30, 2004, GATX completed the sale of substantially all the assets
and related nonrecourse debt of its former Technology segment consisting of GATX
Technology Services, its Canadian affiliate and interests in two joint ventures.
Financial data for the Technology segment has been segregated as discontinued
operations for all periods presented. See Note 12 for additional information on
GATX's discontinued operations.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of GATX
Corporation and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by these accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the entire year
ending December 31, 2006. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes set forth in the Company's Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005. Certain reclassifications have been made to the
2005 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2006 presentation.

Share-based Compensation -- In December 2004, Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments was issued. SFAS
No. 123(R), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, supersedes Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25. Generally, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all
share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options,
to be recognized in the income statement, establishes fair value as the
measurement objective and requires entities to apply a fair value-based
measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions. The
statement originally applied to all awards granted, modified, repurchased or
cancelled after July 1, 2005, and unvested portions of previously issued and
outstanding awards. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") issued Release No. 33-8568, which deferred the effective date of SFAS
No. 123(R) to the first interim or annual reporting period of fiscal years
beginning on or after June 15, 2005.

GATX adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified-prospective method ("MPT")
as of January 1, 2006. Under the MPT, entities are required to recognize
compensation expense in financial statements issued subsequent to the date of
adoption for all share-based payments granted, modified, or settled after the
date of adoption as well as for any rewards that were granted prior to the
adoption date for which the requisite service period has not been provided as of
the adoption date. As a result, GATX now recognizes the estimated fair value of
employee stock options as an expense in its financial statements. The Company
previously accounted for share-based payments to employees using APB Opinion No.
25's intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognized no compensation
costs for employee stock options. See Note 9 for details on GATX's share-based
compensation plans.

NOTE 3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting for Leveraged Leases -- Prior to 2006, GATX entered into two
structured leasing investments that are accounted for in the consolidated
financial statements as leveraged leases in accordance with SFAS No. 13,
Accounting for Leases. SFAS No. 13 requires total income over the term of a
leveraged lease to be recognized on a proportionate basis in those years in
which the net investment in a lease is positive. The net investment is based on
net cash flows earned from the lease, including the effect of related income
taxes. During 2004, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") challenged the timing
of certain tax deductions claimed with respect to these leveraged leases. GATX
believes that its tax position related to these leveraged leases was proper,
based upon applicable statutes, regulations and case law in effect at the time
the leveraged leases were entered into. GATX and the IRS have entered into a
confidential closing agreement with respect to one of the leveraged leases.
Resolution with respect to the other transaction has not concluded and may
ultimately be litigated.

Under existing accounting guidance provided in SFAS No. 13, changes in
estimates or assumptions not affecting estimated total net income from a
leveraged lease, including the timing of income tax cash flows, do not change
the timing of leveraged lease income recognition. On July 14, 2005, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued proposed Staff Position
("FSP") No. FAS 13-a, Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing
of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease
Transaction. The guidance in this proposal would apply to all transactions
classified as leveraged leases in accordance with SFAS No. 13, and would require
that the expected timing of income tax cash flows generated by a leveraged lease
transaction be reviewed annually or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that a change in timing is probable of occurring. If,
during the lease term, the expected timing of income tax cash flows generated by
a leverage lease is revised, the rate of return and the allocation of income
would be recalculated from the inception of the lease following the methodology
provided in SFAS No. 13, which may result in a one-time, non-cash charge to
earnings in the period of changed expectations. An equivalent amount of any such
adjustment would then be recognized as income over the remaining term of the
applicable leases; over the full term of these leases, cumulative accounting
income would not change. This FSP is anticipated to be effective beginning in
2007 and is not expected to be material to the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.

NOTE 4. INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED COMPANIES

Investments in affiliated companies represent investments in, and loans to
and from, domestic and foreign companies and joint ventures that are in
businesses similar to those of GATX, such as lease financing and related
services for customers operating commercial aircraft, rail, marine and
industrial equipment assets, as well as other business activities, including
ventures that provide asset residual value guarantees in both domestic and
foreign markets.


5
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

For purposes of preparing the following information, GATX made adjustments
to the operating results reported by certain of its affiliates. GATX recorded
its loans to certain affiliates as equity contributions. As a result, the
affiliates' loan balances were reclassified from liabilities to equity and
pre-tax income was adjusted to reverse related interest expense. Additionally,
the impacts of any basis differences between GATX's carrying value and its share
of the affiliates' net assets, including the effects of impairment losses
recorded by GATX at the investor level, are not reflected in the operating
results of the affiliates.

Operating results for GATX's affiliates for the three months ending March
31, assuming GATX held a 100% interest, were (in millions):

</TABLE>

The previous tables include amounts allocated to discontinued operations,
all of which are immaterial.

GATX uses a December 31 measurement date for all of its plans. The amounts
reported herein are based on estimated annual costs. Actual annual costs for the
year ending December 31, 2006 may differ from these estimates.

GATX expects to contribute approximately $3.0 million to its pension plans
(domestic and foreign) and approximately $7.8 million to its other
post-retirement benefit plans in 2006. Through March 31, 2006, contributions of
$0.2 million have been made to the foreign and domestic pension plans and
contributions of $1.8 million have been made to the other post-retirement
benefit plans. Additional contributions will be dependent on a number of factors
including plan asset investment returns and actuarial experience. Subject to the
impact of these factors, the Company may make additional plan contributions.

NOTE 6. GUARANTEES

In connection with certain investments or transactions, GATX has entered
into various commercial commitments, such as guarantees and standby letters of
credit, which could potentially require performance in the event of demands by
third parties. Similar to GATX's balance sheet investments, these guarantees
expose GATX to credit, market and equipment risk; accordingly, GATX evaluates
its commitments and other contingent obligations using techniques similar to
those used to evaluate funded transactions.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

The following table sets forth GATX's guarantees as of (in millions):

<TABLE>

<S> <C> <C>

$388.9 $526.8
====== ======
</TABLE>

At March 31, 2006, the maximum potential amount of lease, loan or residual
value guarantees under which GATX or its subsidiaries could be required to
perform was $367.3 million. The related carrying value of the guarantees on the
balance sheet, including deferred revenue primarily associated with residual
value guarantees entered into prior to the effective date of FASB Interpretation
No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees,
Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, was a liability of $1.9
million. The expirations of these guarantees range from 2007 to 2017. Any
liability resulting from GATX's performance pursuant to the residual value
guarantees will be reduced by the value realized from the underlying asset or
group of assets. Historically, gains associated with the residual value
guarantees have exceeded any losses and were recorded in asset remarketing
income in the consolidated statements of operations. Based on known facts and
current market conditions, management does not believe that the asset residual
value guarantees will result in any significant adverse financial impact to the
Company. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any accrual for contingent
losses with respect to the residual value guarantees as of March 31, 2006. GATX
believes these asset residual value guarantees will likely generate future
income in the form of fees and residual sharing proceeds.

Affiliate guarantees generally involve guaranteeing an affiliate's
repayment of the financing it utilized to acquire or lease in assets that it
leases to customers, and are in lieu of making direct equity investments in the
affiliate. GATX is not aware of any event of default which would require it to
satisfy these guarantees, and expects the affiliates to generate sufficient cash
flow to satisfy their lease and loan obligations.

Asset residual value guarantees represent GATX's commitment to third
parties that an asset or group of assets will be worth a specified amount at the
end of a lease term. Revenue is earned for providing these asset value
guarantees in the form of an initial fee (which is amortized into income over
the period of the guarantee) and by sharing in any proceeds received upon
disposition of the assets to the extent such proceeds are in excess of the
amount guaranteed (which is recorded when realized).

Lease payment guarantees represent GATX's guarantees to financial
institutions of finance and operating lease payments of an unrelated party in
exchange for a fee.

Other guarantees consists of GATX's indemnification of Airbus Industrie
("Airbus") related to the dissolution of Flightlease Holdings Limited ("FHG")
and the allocation by Airbus of $77.8 million of pre-delivery payments to GATX
towards the purchase of aircraft in 2001. These pre-delivery payments are also
the subject of active litigation. No liability has been recorded with respect to
this indemnification as GATX believes that the likelihood of having to perform
under the indemnity is remote.

GATX and its subsidiaries are also parties to standing letters of credit
and bonds primarily related to workers' compensation and general liability
insurance overages. No material claims have been made against these obligations.
At March 31, 2006, management does not expect any material losses to result from
these off balance sheet instruments since performance is not expected to be
required.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

NOTE 7. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

GATX has ownership interests in certain investments that are considered
Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") in accordance with FASB Interpretation No.
46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. GATX does not believe it is
the primary beneficiary with respect to any of the VIEs. As a result, GATX does
not consolidate these entities. GATX's maximum exposure to loss with respect to
these VIEs is approximately $230.6 million of which $205.0 million was the
aggregate carrying value of these investments recorded on the balance sheet at
March 31, 2006.

GATX provides equity awards to its employees under the GATX Corporation
2004 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended ("the 2004 Plan"). An
aggregate of 3.5 million shares of common stock is authorized under the 2004
Plan and as of March 31, 2006, and 2.7 million shares were available for
issuance. The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of nonqualified stock options,
stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock and phantom stock awards.
These awards are more fully described below.

GATX adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition
method as of January 1, 2006. Under this transition method, share-based
compensation expense for the first quarter of 2006 included expense for all
share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 1, 2006,
based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original
provisions of SFAS 123. Share-based compensation expense for all awards granted
after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair value estimated in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. For the first quarter of 2006, the
total share-based compensation expense was $1.9 million ($1.2 million after
tax).

Stock Option/SAR Awards

Stock options/SARs provide for the purchase of common stock and may be
granted for periods not longer than seven years from the date of grant (ten
years for options granted prior to 2004). Options/SARs entitle the holder to
receive the difference between the market price of GATX's stock at the time of
exercise, and the exercise price either in shares of common stock, cash or a
combination thereof, at GATX's discretion. The exercise price may not be less
than the higher of the trading price of GATX stock on the date of grant or par
value of the common stock. Options/SARs vest and become exercisable commencing
on a date no earlier than one year from the date of grant. Compensation expense
for these awards is recognized over the applicable vesting period, generally
three years. Dividend equivalents accrue on all stock options/SARs granted under
the 2004 Plan and are paid upon vesting. Dividend equivalents continue to be
paid until the options/SARs are exercised or cancelled. During 2006, only SARs
were awarded.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

GATX values its stock option/SAR awards using the Black-Scholes model. The
Black-Scholes model is one of the most frequently referenced models used to
value options and was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded
options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option
valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The
assumptions GATX uses in valuing its option/SAR awards are expected stock price
volatility (based on the historical volatility of its stock price), the risk
free interest rate (based on the treasury yield curve) and the expected life of
the option (based on historical exercise patterns and post-vesting termination
behavior). Additionally, the value of each option reflects an estimate of the
dividend equivalents to be paid during the expected life of the option/SAR.

The assumptions GATX used to estimate the fair value of its 2006 SAR awards
and the weighted average estimated fair value are noted in the table below:

<TABLE>

</TABLE>

As of March 31, 2006, there was $6.3 million of unrecognized compensation
expense related to nonvested stock options/SARs, which is expected to be
recognized over a weighted averaged period of 2.2 years. Cash received from
employee exercises of stock options, for the three months ended March 31, 2006,
was $4.8 million. GATX did not recognize any excess tax benefits associated with
these exercises.

Restricted Stock and Performance Share Awards

Restricted stock may be granted to key employees, entitling them to receive
a specified number of shares of restricted common stock. The recipients of
restricted common stock are entitled to all dividend and voting rights, but the
shares are not transferable prior to the expiration of a "restriction period" as
determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors ("Compensation Committee"). Compensation expense is recognized for
these awards over the applicable vesting period, generally three years.

Performance shares may be granted to key employees to focus attention on
the achievement of certain strategic objectives. The shares are converted to
restricted common stock based on the achievement of predetermined performance
goals at the end of a specified performance period as determined by the
Compensation Committee. Full vesting of the restricted stock may then be subject
to an additional service period, ending no later than the third anniversary of
the grant, absent the occurrence of certain events such as retirement, death or
disability. Recipients are credited with dividend equivalents on the number of
shares that are converted to restricted stock. Performance shares do not carry
voting rights. Compensation expense is recognized for these awards over the
applicable vesting period, generally three years.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

GATX values its restricted stock awards based on the closing price of its
stock on the grant date. As of March 31, 2006, there was $7.6 million of
unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards, which is expected to
be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

Certain data with respect to restricted stock and performance share
activity for three months ended March 31, 2006 are set forth below:

Phantom Stock Awards

Phantom stock is granted to external Directors as a portion of their
compensation for service on GATX's Board. In accordance with the terms of the
phantom stock awards, each director is credited with a quantity of units that
equate to, but are not, shares in the company. At the expiration of each
director's service on the Board, settlement of the units of phantom common stock
will be made in shares of common stock equal to the numbers of units of phantom
stock. Any fractional units will be paid in cash. In 2006, GATX granted 3,641
units of phantom stock and 111,365 units were outstanding as of March 31, 2006.

NOTE 10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during each reporting period. Shares issued during the reporting
period and shares reacquired during the reporting period, if applicable, are
weighted for the portion of the reporting period that they were outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic
earnings per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are
increased to include awards of restricted stock, the assumed conversion of
preferred stock, convertible debt, and the assumed exercise of employee stock
options, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming
that outstanding options were exercised and that the proceeds from such
exercises were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market
price during the reporting period.

GATX has two convertible debt securities, one issued in 2002 for $175.0
million and the other, which is contingently convertible, issued in 2003 for
$125.0 million.

Shares underlying the 2002 issue and the related interest expense
adjustment were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for
the first three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. As of March 31, 2006,
these securities were convertible into common stock at a price of $34.09 per
share, which would have resulted in 5,133,471 common shares issued upon
conversion.


10
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

Shares underlying the 2003 issue and the related interest expense were
included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for each of the 2006
and 2005 periods. As of March 31, 2006, these securities were convertible into
common stock at a current conversion price of $24.54 per share, which would have
resulted in 5,094,244 common shares issued upon conversion. The conversion price
is subject to adjustment based on various factors, including changes in the
dividend on GATX's common stock. The conversion into common stock is subject to
a number of contingencies including the market price of GATX's common stock and
the trading price of the notes.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net
income per common share (in millions, except per share amounts):

NOTE 11. FINANCIAL DATA OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The financial data presented below conforms to SFAS No. 131, Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, and depicts the
profitability, financial position and capital expenditures of each of GATX's
continuing business segments. Segment profitability is presented to reflect
operating results inclusive of allocated support expenses from the Parent
Company.

GATX provides services primarily through three operating segments: Rail,
Air and Specialty. In addition, GATX operates a fleet of self-unloading vessels
on the Great Lakes through its wholly owned subsidiary American Steamship
Company .

Rail is principally engaged in leasing rail equipment, including tank cars,
freight cars and locomotives. Rail provides full-service leases under which Rail
maintains and services the railcars, pays ad valorem taxes, and provides other
ancillary services. Rail also provides net leases, under which the lessee is
responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes.

Air is principally engaged in leasing narrowbody aircraft to airlines
throughout the world. Air typically provides net leases under which the lessee
is responsible for maintenance, insurance and taxes. Air also engages in fee
based aircraft management activities that involve remarketing, repossession and
sales efforts on behalf of clients.

Specialty is principally engaged in pursuing investment opportunities in
marine assets and in long-lived industrial equipment in targeted mature
industries. Specialty also provides portfolio management services that generate
fee based income, some of which is based on the residual value of the equipment
under management. The Specialty portfolio consists primarily of leases, loans,
joint venture investments and interests in residual values involving a variety
of underlying asset types, including marine, aircraft, rail, industrial and
other equipment.

Other is comprised of corporate results, including SG&A expenses and
interest expense not allocated to segments, and the operating results of ASC.

Management evaluates the performance of each segment based on several
measures, including net income. These results are used to assess performance and
determine resource allocation among the segments.

GATX allocates corporate SG&A and applicable interest expense to the
segments. Corporate SG&A expenses relate to administration and support functions
performed at the corporate office. Such expenses include information technology,
human resources, legal, tax, financial support and executive costs. Directly
attributable expenses are generally allocated to the segments and shared costs
are retained in Other. Amounts allocated to the segments are approximated based
on management's best estimate and judgment of direct support services.

Debt balances and interest expense are allocated based upon a fixed
recourse leverage ratio for each individual operating segment across all
reporting periods, expressed as a ratio of recourse debt (including off balance
sheet debt) to equity. Unallocated debt and interest are retained in Other.
Beginning in 2006, GATX modified its methodology for calculating the estimated
value of its off balance sheet debt, which is based on the present value of
committed future operating lease payments. GATX now uses the implicit interest
rate in each of its operating leases as the discount rate in calculating the
present value amount, whereas it previously used a fixed 10% discount rate. This
modification generally resulted in a lower discount rate and therefore a higher
calculated off balance sheet debt amount.

In connection with this methodology change, GATX also modified the recourse
leverage ratios assigned to each segment. For 2006, the recourse leverage ratios
for Rail, Air and Specialty were set at 4.75:1, 3:1 and 4:1, respectively. For
2005, the leverage ratios were 4.5:1, 3:1 and 4:1, respectively. In the
aggregate, the amount of debt and interest expense allocated to each segment on
the basis of the 2006 method approximated the amounts that would have been
allocated under the prior method. Management believes this leverage and interest
expense allocation methodology provides a reasonable approximation of each
operating segment's risk-adjusted financial return.

COMPARISON OF THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF 2006 TO THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF 2005.

SUMMARY

Market conditions in the first quarter of 2006 remained strong. In both
North America and Europe, fleet utilization increased and lease rates continued
to improve. Strong demand continued to drive high renewal success in the current
quarter. North American average lease renewal rates on a basket of common car
types increased 13.7% from the average expiring lease rates. GATX expects the
current market conditions will have a positive impact on lease income as leases
that were entered into during the recessionary period of late 2001 - 2003
reprice at higher rates. Additionally, Rail is extending the term on certain
renewals, an action that is expected to help temper future earnings volatility.
Utilization is expected to remain high through the remainder of 2006. During the
first three months of 2006 Rail invested $70.2 million, acquiring approximately
800 railcars. This amount was comparable to $70.1 million invested in 2005. High
asset prices in both the primary and secondary markets continued to limit
railcar investment opportunities. In the first quarter of 2006, Rail also
exercised a purchase option on approximately 2,700 railcars leased-in under an
operating lease for $160.6 million.

Rail's net income increased $4.8 million from the prior year period to
$24.8 million for the first three months of 2006. The increase was driven
primarily by significant increases in lease rates in North America and an
average of approximately 2,300 more railcars on lease.

GROSS INCOME

Rail's 2006 gross income of $214.7 million for the first three months was
$10.7 million higher than the prior year period. In North America, lease income
increased $11.7 million, reflecting the effects of higher lease rates and, on
average, 2,300 more cars on lease over the first quarter of 2005. In Europe, an
average of 900 additional railcars were on lease compared to the prior year
period, causing an increase in lease income. This increase was largely offset by
the effect of foreign currency exchange differences.

OWNERSHIP COSTS

Ownership costs of $100.0 million were comparable to the prior year
quarter. Depreciation was lower than the prior year period mainly due to the
sale and leaseback of railcars with a net book value of $170.0 million that
occurred at the end of first quarter of 2005, partially offset by additional
depreciation on railcars added during 2005 and 2006. The sale leaseback
transaction also resulted in the increase in operating lease expense from the
prior period. Lower interest expense than the prior year period reflects the
benefit of debt refinancings, executed in late 2005 and early 2006, that
replaced higher cost debt at lower rates.

OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES

Maintenance expense increased $2.9 million from the prior year period to
$51.1 million. The increase reflects more cars being repaired in North American
major shops as well as higher cost spot repair work performed by railroads.
Additionally, in order to take advantage of the strong market conditions
in North America, Rail has increased conversions of certain railcars for use in
different types of services. These costs were partially offset by lower
maintenance spending on Europe's tank car fleet, which was driven by timing of
scheduled maintenance work. Additionally, Rail continues to face the possibility
of newly mandated security or safety legislation or regulations that, if
enacted, may increase future maintenance costs.

Selling, general and administrative costs increased $1.6 million versus the
prior period primarily due to higher employee costs in North America. These
costs were partially offset by overall lower selling, general and
administrative expenses at Rail's wholly owned European operations resulting
from integration activities executed in 2005.

Other expenses were $1.1 million lower than the prior year period. The
decrease was primarily due to lower insurance liability reserve requirements and
favorable foreign currency exchange rates. Asset impairment losses in the prior
year period included the write down of a repair facility that was held for sale.
The facility was sold during the current year period at its adjusted book value.

</TABLE>

(A) Includes wholly owned and partnered aircraft

COMPARISON OF THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF 2006 TO THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF 2005.

SUMMARY

Air continues to leverage its industry expertise by identifying aircraft
management activities, including remarketing and sale efforts on behalf of
clients. Marketing activities for air assets targeted for disposition continued
in the first quarter of 2006. GATX expects that the dispositions will be
substantially completed by year end.

Net income of $11.3 million was $6.5 million higher than the prior year
quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to lower depreciation expense
on aircraft targeted for disposition and higher fee income. Aircraft utilization
remained high with 97.4% of the owned fleet on lease with customers.

GROSS INCOME

Gross income of $49.4 million was $5.7 million higher than the prior year
period primarily due to increased lease income, fees and share of affiliates'
earnings. Lease income was $1.0 million higher than the prior year due to the
impact of higher interest rates on variable rate leases offset by the absence of
income from three aircraft transferred to a new joint venture in March 2005 and
from off-lease aircraft transitioning between lessees. Fee income of $4.5
million was $2.3 million higher than the prior year primarily due to fees earned
for managing the sale of aircraft for a third party. Share of affiliates'
earnings increased $3.4 million over the comparable 2005 period primarily due to
current year earnings from a new joint venture formed in March 2005 and the
absence and reduction of depreciation expense in the current year on joint
venture aircraft held for sale or whose book values were written down in
December 2005 due to impairment.

OWNERSHIP COSTS

Ownership costs of $25.8 million were $3.7 million lower than the prior
year. Depreciation expense decreased $4.7 million primarily due to the absence
of depreciation in 2006 on aircraft classified as held for sale. Interest
expense increased $0.9 million due to higher interest rates on variable rate
debt partially offset by lower average debt balances.

OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES

Other costs and expenses of $5.9 million were $1.3 million lower than the
prior year. The net asset impairment gain in the current period resulted from
the reversal of $2.9 million of maintenance reserves, related to one held for
sale aircraft that was placed on an 18 month direct finance lease, offset by a
$2.0 million impairment loss related to the net change in estimated fair value
of the remaining held for sale aircraft. Air expects that results for the
remainder of 2006 will continue to include gains and losses as additional fair
value remeasurements and/or final disposition results for held for sale aircraft
are recognized.

</TABLE>

(A) Includes off balance sheet assets

COMPARISON OF THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF 2006 TO THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF 2005.

SUMMARY

Specialty's net income increased from the prior year primarily due to asset
remarketing fees earned from two transactions in the managed portfolio. During
the first quarter of 2006, Specialty invested $39.5 million in new assets.

GROSS INCOME

Gross income of $42.4 million was $15.1 million higher than the prior year.
The increase was primarily due to higher asset remarketing and lease income,
partially offset by lower gain on sale of securities and interest income. Asset
remarketing in the current year primarily related to residual sharing fees of
$19.4 million from the sale of assets and related transactions in the managed
portfolios, including a fee of $14.0 million on one transaction. The timing of
asset remarketing income is dependent on market conditions and therefore such
revenues will not occur evenly from period to period. The increase of $1.6
million in lease income was primarily due to new investment activity. Interest
income decreased $1.0 million as result of the run-off of Venture Finance and
other portfolio loans during 2005. Gains on sale of securities were $1.2 million
in the current quarter compared to $4.9 million in the prior year, which
included a $3.7 million gain on the sale of shares in an internet search engine
company.

OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES

Other costs and expenses of $5.3 million increased $1.2 million primarily
due to impairment losses recorded in the current year on certain cost method
investments in the remaining Venture Finance portfolio.

COMPARISON OF THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF 2006 TO THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF 2005.

SUMMARY

Other reported a net loss of $6.6 million in 2006, comparable to a net loss
of $6.4 million reported in 2005. An increase in unallocated interest expense
was largely offset by higher income at ASC, which was due to the net
contribution from a new vessel added to its fleet at the end of the second
quarter of 2005.

GATX CONSOLIDATED

CONSOLIDATED INCOME TAXES

GATX's effective tax rate was 36% for the three months ended March 31, 2006
compared to 34% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. The increase in 2006
was primarily due to a greater relative contribution of domestic income, which
is subject to higher taxes than GATX's foreign operations. The difference in the
tax rate for the three months ending March 31, 2006 compared to the federal
statutory tax rate of 35% is attributable to state income taxes partially offset
by lower taxes on foreign sourced income.

CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY

Over the course of a full year, GATX generally expects to generate
significant cash flow from a combination of operating activities and investment
portfolio proceeds. This cash flow is used to service debt, pay dividends, and
fund portfolio investments and capital additions. Cash flow from operations and
portfolio proceeds are impacted by changes in working capital and the timing of
asset dispositions. As a result, cash flow components will vary quarter to
quarter. The following discussion of cash flow activity is presented excluding
the impact of discontinued operations.

Net cash provided by continuing operations for the first three months of
2006 was $50.4 million, an increase of $61.2 million from the prior year period
primarily due to higher lease income, asset remarketing fees and changes in
working capital.


23
Portfolio investments and capital additions for the first three months of
2006 totaled $116.3 million, an increase of $22.0 million from the comparable
2005 period. Rail's investments of $70.2 million were comparable to the prior
year quarter and included the addition of approximately 800 railcars to its
fleet. Air's investments of $3.1 million in the first three months of 2006
consisted primarily of capitalized costs. Specialty invested $39.5 million
during the first three months of 2006, an increase of $17.4 million from the
prior year period. Significant 2006 activity at Specialty includes $33.3 million
of investments in select long-lived industrial equipment. Additionally, in the
first quarter of 2006, Rail exercised a purchase option on 2,700 railcars
leased-in under an operating lease for $160.6 million.

Portfolio proceeds were $64.4 million for the first three months of 2006
compared to $90.6 million for the prior year period. Proceeds for the first
quarter of 2005 included $46.9 million related to the transfer of three aircraft
to a newly formed joint venture in which the Company had a 50% interest. In the
second quarter of 2005, an additional $15.8 million was received from the
transfer of a fourth aircraft to the joint venture. In 2006, GATX sold half of
its 50% interest in the joint venture for $30.6 million. Additionally, in 2005,
a sale-leaseback transaction was executed on approximately 2,900 railcars for
total proceeds of $201.3 million.

GATX's also expects to meet debt, lease and dividend obligations through
the use of uncommitted money market lines, commercial paper, committed revolving
credit facilities, the issuance of unsecured debt, and a variety of secured
borrowings. GATX utilizes both domestic and international banks and capital
markets.

In the first three months of 2006, GATX, through its principal subsidiary,
GATX Financial Corporation (GFC), issued $258.8 million of debt, primarily
consisting of $200.0 million of ten-year senior unsecured notes. The proceeds
from the senior debt were used to fund the purchase of leased-in railcars and to
repay $118.7 million of debt, which consisted primarily of scheduled maturities.

GFC has a $525.0 million five-year senior unsecured revolving facility
which matures in June 2010. At March 31, 2006, availability under the credit
facility was $481.3 million, with $19.7 million of letters of credit issued and
$24.0 million of commercial paper, both backed by the facility. The revolving
credit facility contains various restrictive covenants, including requirements
to maintain a defined net worth, an asset coverage test, and a fixed charge
coverage ratio. At March 31, 2006, GFC was in compliance with all covenants and
conditions of the credit facility.

The indentures for GFC's public debt also contain restrictive covenants,
including limitations on loans, advances or investments in related parties
(including GATX) and dividends it may distribute to GATX. Certain of the
indentures contain limitation on liens provisions that limit the amount of
secured indebtedness GFC may incur. At March 31, 2006, GFC was in compliance
with the covenants and all conditions of the indentures. A subsidiary financing
contains leverage and cash flow covenants that are specific to the subsidiary.
GATX does not anticipate any covenant violations in either the credit facility,
bank financing, or indentures, nor does GATX anticipate that any of these
covenants will restrict its operations or its ability to procure additional
financing.

As of March 31, 2006, GFC had a shelf registration for $1.0 billion of debt
securities and pass through certificates from which $496.5 million of senior
unsecured notes had been issued.

The availability of these funding options may be affected by certain
factors including the global capital market environment and outlook as well as
GFC's financial performance. Access to capital markets at competitive rates is
dependent on GFC's credit rating and rating outlook, as determined by rating
agencies such as Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service
(Moody's). In January of 2006, S&P upgraded its credit rating on GFC's long-term
unsecured debt to BBB from BBB- and changed GFC's rating outlook to stable.
Also, S&P's credit rating for short-term unsecured debt was upgraded to A-2 from
A-3. Moody's credit rating and outlook on GFC's long-term unsecured debt
remained unchanged at Baa3 and positive, respectively. GFC's prior S&P rating
and current Moody's rating have restricted GFC's ability to utilize the
commercial paper market as a source of funding. Notwithstanding the ratings
restrictions however, GFC has had in excess of $150 million of commercial paper
outstanding at various times in the past 18 months and continues to successfully
utilize this market as a source of liquidity. The upgraded S&P rating on GFC's
short-term, unsecured debt is positive; however GFC's access to the commercial
paper market may continue to be restricted as a result of Moody's P-3 rating.


24
Unconditional purchase obligations of GATX's subsidiaries consist primarily
of committed aircraft deliveries and railcar orders. Unconditional purchase
obligations at March 31, 2006 were $403.0 million, comprised as follows (in

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no changes to GATX's critical accounting policies during
the three month period ending March 31, 2006; refer to GATX's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 for a summary of GATX's
policies.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES

This report includes certain financial performance measures computed using
non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") components as defined by
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These measures are: return on
equity; return on assets; and SG&A efficiency. As required under SEC rules, GATX
has provided a reconciliation of those non-GAAP components to the most directly
comparable GAAP components. Financial performance measures disclosed in this
report are meant to provide additional information and insight into historical
operating results and financial position of the business. Management uses these
performance measures to assist in analyzing GATX's underlying financial
performance from period to period and to establish criteria for compensation
decisions. These measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, GAAP
and may be different from, or inconsistent with, non-GAAP financial measures
used by other companies.

GLOSSARY OF KEY TERMS

- Initial Direct Costs - SG&A expenses incurred by GATX to originate new
loans and leases. Identified initial direct costs are deferred and
amortized over the term of the lease or loan.

- Managed Assets - Assets that GATX manages, but that are not included
in on balance sheet or off balance sheet assets. An asset is
considered managed if GATX performs the same activities relative to
the asset as performed for similar owned assets. Managed assets
include assets wholly owned by third parties and assets owned by joint
ventures in which GATX is both an investor and manager. Managed assets
are shown net of GATX's investment in a joint venture (if applicable),
to the extent the investment is already included in on balance sheet
or off balance sheet assets.

- Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Numerical or percentage based measures
of the company's historical performance, financial position or
liquidity calculated using a component different from that presented
in the financial statements as prepared in accordance with GAAP.

- Off Balance Sheet Assets - Assets, primarily railcars, which are
financed with operating leases and therefore not recorded on the
balance sheet. GATX estimates the off balance sheet asset amount by
calculating the present value of committed future operating lease
payments using the interest rate implicit in each lease.

- On Balance Sheet Assets - Total assets as reported on the balance
sheet excluding assets of discontinued operations.

- Return on Assets - Income from continuing operations divided by
average total on and off balance sheet assets.

- Return on Equity - Income from continuing operations divided by
average total shareholders' equity.


25
-    SG&A - Selling, general and administrative expenses.

- SG&A Efficiency - SG&A before capitalized initial direct costs divided
by average total owned and managed assets.

- Total Owned and Managed Assets - The sum of on and off balance sheet
assets and managed assets.

(1) Beginning in 2006, GATX modified its methodology for calculating the
present value of its off balance sheet assets. GATX now uses the implicit
interest rate in each of its operating leases as the discount rate, whereas
it previously used a fixed 10% discount rate. All off balance sheet asset
amounts and resulting performance measures have been restated to reflect
