Greenbrier Reports First Quarter Results
Q1 Diluted EPS of $1.14
Operating cash flow of $76 million
Continued strong fleet utilization of 98%
The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (NYSE: GBX) (“Greenbrier”), a leading international supplier of equipment and services to global freight transportation markets, today reported financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2025.
First Quarter Highlights
- Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier of $36 million, or $1.14 per diluted share.
- EBITDA of nearly $98 million, or 14% of revenue.
- Operating cash flow of $76 million.
- In Q1, new railcar orders for 3,700 units valued at $550 million and deliveries of 4,400 units, resulting in a new railcar backlog of 16,300 units with an estimated value of $2.2 billion as of November 30, 2025.
- Repurchase of 303,000 shares for $13 million; $65 million remaining under current share repurchase program.
- Board approves quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share, payable on February 17, 2026 to shareholders of record as of January 27, 2026, representing Greenbrier’s 47th consecutive quarterly dividend.
“Greenbrier delivered solid results in Q1," said Lorie L. Tekorius, CEO and President. "Leasing and Fleet Management provided stability through strong execution and recurring cash flows including selectively recycling capital through fleet sales in a strong equipment market to support liquidity and balance sheet strength. Manufacturing achieved good operating performance on lower volumes."
Tekorius added, "Across the business, we remain focused on operational excellence, disciplined cost management, and maintaining the flexibility to respond quickly as market conditions evolve. Our strategy and priorities remain unchanged as we work to deliver improved through-cycle performance and long-term shareholder value.”

Supplemental Leasing Information
(In millions, except owned fleet, unaudited)
Greenbrier’s leasing strategy provides an additional “go to market” element to Greenbrier’s Commercial strategy of direct sales, partnerships with operating leasing companies, and origination of leases for syndication partners as well as providing a platform for further growth at scale. Investing in leasing assets also provides a recurring stream of revenue and tax-advantaged cash flows, however in the short-term it reduces Greenbrier’s Manufacturing revenue and margin as a result of deferring revenue recognition.
During the April 2023 Investor Day, Greenbrier provided a long-term target to more than double recurring revenue from leasing and management fees by investing up to $300 million net annually for the next five years. Recurring revenue is defined as Leasing & Fleet Management revenue excluding the impact of syndication transactions.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release may contain forward-looking statements, including statements that are not purely statements of historical fact. Greenbrier uses words, and variations of words, such as “affect,” “approximately,” “are,” “backlog,” “believe,” “continue,” “drive,” “estimate,” “grow,” “long-term,” "maintain," “may,” “recurring,” “result,” “strategy,” “strong,” “target,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about our guidance and outlook, backlog and other orders, leasing performance, leasing strategy, financing, cash flow, tax treatment, and other information regarding future performance and strategies and appear throughout this press release. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the following: an economic downturn and economic uncertainty; changes to tariffs or import duties, including retaliatory tariffs; changes in macroeconomic policies; inflation (including rising energy prices, interest rates, wages and other escalators) and policy reactions thereto (including actions by central banks); disruptions in the supply of materials and components used in the production of our products; labor disputes; loss of market share to other modes of freight shipment; geopolitical unrest including the war in Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East. Our backlog of railcar units and other orders not included in backlog are not necessarily indicative of future results of operations. Certain orders in backlog are subject to customary documentation which may not occur. More information on potential factors that could cause our results to differ from our forward-looking statements is included in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of the Company’s most recently filed periodic report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Except as otherwise required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information, which speak as of their respective dates. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof.
Financial Metric Definitions
Core EBITDA, Core net earnings attributable to Greenbrier, and Core diluted earnings per share (EPS) 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 measures 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 Core EBITDA as Net earnings before Interest and foreign exchange, Income tax expense, Depreciation and amortization and the impact associated with items we do not believe are indicative of our core business or which affect comparability. We believe the presentation of Core EBITDA provides useful information as it excludes the impact of financing, foreign exchange, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending and other items. 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.
Core net earnings attributable to Greenbrier and core diluted EPS excludes the impact associated with items we do not believe are indicative of our core business or which affect comparability. We believe this assists in comparing our performance across reporting periods.
