Financial Statements and Exhibits (b) Pro Forma Financial Information On October 26, 2001, Trinity Industries, Inc. ("Trinity") completed its merger transaction between a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trinity and privately owned Thrall Car Manufacturing Company ("Thrall"). Thrall is a leading railcar manufacturer, with operations in both the United States and Europe. Under terms of the agreement, Trinity paid $165.5 million in cash and issued 7.15 million shares of its common stock at the closing. Additional estimated amounts have been accrued related to the working capital adjustment per the merger agreement ($15.2 million) and transaction fees ($5.6 million). In addition, Trinity under certain circumstances has agreed to make additional payments, not to exceed $45 million over five years, based on a formula related to annual railcar industry production levels. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated Statement of Operations is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Trinity and Thrall, adjusted to give effect to the transactions described herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated Statement of Operations is for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 and gives effect to the transaction as if it had occurred as of April 1, 2001. In September 2001, Trinity changed its year-end to December 31 from March 31. Thrall's historical information is for the seven months ended October 26, 2001. The post acquisition period of October 26, 2001 to December 31, 2001 is included in the historical data for the nine months ended December 31, 2001 for Trinity. The merger of Thrall and the related adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. In our opinion, all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma data have been made. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated Statement of Operations does not purport to represent what the results of operations would actually have been had the transaction in fact occurred on such dates or to project the results of operations for any future period or date. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated Statement of Operations should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements of Trinity and Thrall and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Pro Forma results include after-tax charges of $50.4 million ($1.30 per share) related to restructuring the Rail group in connection with the Thrall merger and the down cycle in the railcar industry and other matters. These restructuring charges were recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2001. The merger of Thrall has been accounted for as a purchase and the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon estimated fair market values. The purchase price allocation for the Thrall merger is subject to change when additional information concerning asset and liability valuations is obtained. The historical consolidated statements of operations of Trinity and Thrall were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 2 TRINITY INDUSTRIES, INC.
