LEASING

BENEFITS

PROVIDES FINANCIAL FLEXIBILITY

Financial benefits of a full-service lease from UTLX may include:

Cash flow management
Better use of capital
Tax benefits

Off balance sheet financing
More predictable cash flow and expense budgeting

reduces equipment risk

By leasing from UTLX, you gain the flexibility to manage your fleet size and mix of car types as your business conditions and needs change. Given the maximum railcar useful life of 50 years, combined with a highly-regulated environment, evolving product specifications and the potential for unforeseen events, the risk of equipment obsolescence is high. These risks can be mitigated through a full-service lease with UTLX.

Many of the administrative costs associated with railcar ownership are covered under the terms of a UTLX full-service lease, including:

Maintenance scheduling and railcar repair
Property tax and claims administration
Regulatory compliance and industry committee leadership

Car design engineering
UMLER registration
Personalized customer service support
