Lake Oswego, Oregon, January 8, 2020 – The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (NYSE: GBX) today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2019.

First Quarter Highlights

Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier for the quarter were $7.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, on<br>revenue of $769.4 million. Quarterly results include $2.2 million, net of tax, ($0.07 per share) of integration and acquisition-related expenses from the American Railcar Industries (ARI) acquisition.
Adjusted net earnings attributable to Greenbrier for the quarter were $9.9 million, or $0.30 per diluted<br>share, excluding $0.07 of ARI integration and acquisition-related expenses.
--- ---
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $74.2 million, or 9.6% of revenue.
--- ---
Pre-tax ARI synergies of $2.8 million were achieved in the<br>quarter. Annual synergy target of $15.0 million is affirmed.
--- ---
Orders for 4,500 diversified railcars were received during the quarter, valued at $450 million.<br>
--- ---
Orders subsequent to Q1 exceed 4,400 units driven by international sources, including a significant multi-year<br>order in Brazil for new railcars. Additionally, an agreement to rebuild nearly 850 Brazilian railcars was finalized.
--- ---
New railcar backlog as of November 30, 2019 was 28,500 units with an estimated value of $3.1 billion.<br>Subsequent to the quarter, Greenbrier agreed in principle to remove 575 units in backlog in exchange for financial consideration.
--- ---
New railcar deliveries totaled 6,200 units for the quarter.
--- ---
Board increases quarterly dividend 8.0% to $0.27 per share, payable on February 18, 2020 to shareholders<br>as of January 28, 2020.
--- ---

William A. Furman, Chairman and CEO, said, “Greenbrier’s strategy of strengthening its core North American market, international diversification, talent development and growing the business at scale is working. Employees performed well as we continued the integration of our largest-ever

acquisition in North America. The synergies Greenbrier sought in acquiring the ARI manufacturing assets yielded $2.8 million in the first quarter, a good start toward achieving the fiscal 2020 synergy target of $15 million. Despite a weak North American freight railcar market, Greenbrier secured worldwide orders in the first quarter of 4,500 units valued at $450 million. Subsequent to quarter-end, Greenbrier received orders for nearly 4,400 railcars including a large multi-year order for our Greenbrier-Maxion JV in Brazil. Europe also recorded strong post-quarter orders. Included in post-quarter orders was a large award in North America from a customer in Saudi Arabia. These orders underline the traction Greenbrier is gaining internationally and the power of a developing globally integrated model. The December orders, along with Greenbrier’s backlog of 28,500 units at November 30, worth more than $3 billion, provide good global visibility. Given overall progress through the first three months, we are on track to achieve our guidance for the year, although quarterly performance will not be linear.”

Furman added, “Greenbrier’s uneven performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 fell short of our expectations. Operating inefficiencies and component supply issues triggered lost production days and reduced production at one of our newly-acquired ARI facilities. Therefore, a higher proportion of quarterly railcar deliveries originated from our 50/50 joint venture at GIMSA in Mexico, which impacted net earnings. The operating inefficiencies and supplier issues are being addressed.”

Furman concluded, “Looking ahead, fiscal 2020 remains a year of execution and responsiveness to a rapidly changing demand environment. The ARI integration is complex, but progressing favorably. Likewise, we are continuing remedial actions at Greenbrier Rail Services including Repair, and expect these operations to improve through the year. Our focus remains on managing recent acquisitions, generating positive cash flow, and creating long-term shareholder value through efficient capital allocation.”

Fiscal 2020 Outlook

Based on current business trends and production schedules for fiscal 2020, Greenbrier believes:

Deliveries will be 26,000 – 28,000 units including Greenbrier-Maxion (Brazil) (which will account for<br>approximately 2,000 units).
Revenue will be approximately $3.5 billion.
--- ---
Adjusted diluted EPS will be $2.60 – 3.00 excluding approximately $20 – $25 million of pre-tax integration and acquisition-related expenses from the ARI acquisition.
--- ---

As noted in the “Safe Harbor” statement, there are risks to achieving this guidance. Certain orders and backlog in this release are subject to customary documentation and completion of terms.

Adjusted Financial Metric Definition

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net earnings attributable to Greenbrier, Adjusted diluted EPS and Adjusted diluted EPS range excluding integration and acquisition-related expenses from the ARI acquisition are not financial measures under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These metrics are performance measurement tools used by rail supply companies and Greenbrier. You should not consider these metrics in isolation or as a substitute for other financial statement data determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because these metrics are not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, the measures presented may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as Net earnings before Interest and foreign exchange, Income tax expense (benefit), Depreciation and amortization and excluding the impact associated with items we do not believe are indicative of our core business or which affect comparability. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information as it excludes the impact of financing, foreign exchange, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending. These items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to the overall operating performance of a company’s core business. We believe this assists in comparing our performance across reporting periods.

Adjusted net earnings attributable to Greenbrier and Adjusted diluted EPS excludes the impact associated with items we do not believe are indicative of our core business or which affect comparability. Adjusted diluted EPS range excluding integration and acquisition-related expenses from the ARI acquisition excludes integration and acquisition-related expenses from the ARI acquisition. We believe this assists in comparing our performance across reporting periods.

Reconciliation of common shares outstanding

The shares used in the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per common share are reconciled as follows:

Three Months Ended
November 30,<br> <br>2019 August 31,<br> <br>2019
Weighted average basic common shares outstanding<br>^(1)^ 32,629 32,591
Dilutive effect of convertible notes<br>^(2)^ - -
Dilutive effect of restricted stock units<br>^(3)^ 655 585
Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding 33,284 33,176
^(1)^ Restricted stock grants and restricted stock units that are considered participating securities, including<br>some grants subject to certain performance criteria, are included in weighted average basic common shares outstanding when the Company is in a net earnings position.
--- ---
^(2)^ The dilutive effect of the 2.875% Convertible notes issued in February 2017 and the 2.25% Convertible notes<br>issued in July 2019 were excluded for the periods in which they were outstanding as the average stock price was less than the applicable conversion price and therefore was anti-dilutive.

^(3)^ Restricted stock units that are not considered participating securities and restricted stock units subject<br>to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved, are included in weighted average diluted common shares outstanding when the Company is in a net earnings position.
