FreightCar America, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except for share and per share data and unless otherwise noted)
Note 1 – Description of the Business
FreightCar America, Inc. (“FreightCar”) operates primarily in North America through its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively with FreightCar, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), and designs and manufactures a wide range of railroad freight cars, completes railcar rebody and repair services, provides railcar conversion services that repurpose idled rail assets back into revenue service, and supplies railcar replacement parts and components for all railcar types. The Company designs and builds high-quality railcars, including boxcars, covered and open-top hopper cars, intermodal and non-intermodal flat cars, mill gondola cars, coil steel cars and coal cars.
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FreightCar and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The foregoing financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying interim financial information is unaudited; however, the Company believes the financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. The 2025 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2025.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified, where necessary, to conform to the current year presentation. There is no impact on previously reported consolidated statements of operations or statements of cash flows as a result of these reclassifications. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and the placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The Company classifies the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices for Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets that were recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and the Company’s non-financial assets that were recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for Common Stock and participating securities. The Company’s participating securities are its grants of restricted stock which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. The Company allocates earnings between both classes; however, in periods of undistributed losses, they are only allocated to common shares as the unvested restricted stockholders do not contractually participate in losses of the Company. The Company computes basic earnings per share by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Warrants issued in connection with the Company’s long-term debt were issued at a nominal exercise price and are considered outstanding at the date of issuance. The 2023 Warrant was issued out-of-the money and the Company will apply the treasury stock method to the 2023 Warrant when computing earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and the assumed vesting of non-vested share awards. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025,
Shareholder Rights Plan
On September 2, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”), payable on September 8, 2025, for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to stockholders of record on September 2, 2025. Each Right entitles the shareholder to purchase from the Company one one-hundredth of a share of Series D Junior Participating Preferred Stock for $

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects. We have used the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “likely,” “unlikely,” “intend” and similar expressions in this report to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. However, forward-looking statements inherently involve potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These potential risks and uncertainties relate to, among other things, the cyclical nature of our business; adverse economic and market conditions, including inflation; material disruption in the movement of rail traffic for deliveries; fluctuating costs of raw materials, including steel and aluminum; delays in the delivery of raw materials; our ability to maintain relationships with our suppliers of railcar components; our reliance upon a small number of customers that represent a large percentage of our sales; the variable purchase patterns of our customers and the timing of completion; delivery and customer acceptance of orders; the highly competitive nature of our industry; the risk of lack of acceptance of our new railcar offerings; potential unexpected changes in laws, rules, and regulatory requirements, including tariffs and trade barriers (including recent United States tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on China, Canada, Mexico and other countries and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries); and other competitive factors. The factors listed above are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include additional factors that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict the impact of all of these factors on our business, financial condition or results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We expressly disclaim any duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, in order to reflect changes in circumstances or expectations or the occurrence of unanticipated events except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
We are a diversified manufacturer of railcars and railcar components. We design and manufacture a broad variety of railcar types for transportation of bulk commodities and containerized freight products primarily in North America. We also provide railcar rebody and repair services, railcar conversion services that repurpose idled rail assets back into revenue service, and supply railcar parts. We have been manufacturing railcars since 1901.
The Company’s operations consist of two operating and reportable segments, Manufacturing and Aftermarket. The Company identifies reportable segments based on differences in products and services. The Company’s Manufacturing segment includes new railcar manufacturing, used railcar sales, and major conversions and rebodies. The Company’s Aftermarket segment includes the selling of forged, cast and fabricated railcar parts and supplies for all railcar types, and provides aftermarket services including safety training, railcar inspections, and preventative maintenance.
Our Manufacturing segment revenues are generated primarily from sales of the railcars that we manufacture. Our Manufacturing segment sales depend on industry demand for new railcars, which is driven by overall economic conditions and the demand for railcar transportation of various products such as steel products, minerals, cement, motor vehicles, forest products, agricultural commodities and coal. Our Manufacturing segment sales are also affected by competitive market pressures that impact our market share, the prices for our railcars and by the types of railcars sold. Our Manufacturing segment revenues also include revenues from railcar conversions and rebodies. Our Aftermarket segment revenues are generated primarily from sales of forged, cast and fabricated railcar parts and supplies for all railcar types.
The variable purchase patterns of our customers and the timing of completion, delivery and customer acceptance may cause our revenues and income from operations to vary substantially each quarter, which will result in significant fluctuations in our quarterly results. Further, recent changes to United States and foreign trade policies, including the imposition of new tariffs, have created increased geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. Future changes in governmental and economic policies could impact our cost structure, demand for our products and results of operation. We continue to actively monitor new global trade policies and remain focused on strategic initiatives to drive operational efficiencies.

Total net railcar orders received for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were 709 units, consisting of 509 new railcars and 200 converted and rebodied railcars, compared to orders for 1,250 units, consisting of 1,250 new railcars and 0 converted and rebodied railcars, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Total backlog of unfilled orders was 2,058 units as of March 31, 2026, compared to 1,926 railcars as of December 31, 2025. The estimated sales value of the backlog was $156 million and $137 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The decrease in the number of net railcar orders received for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the prior year period is a reflection of industry order cadence.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Revenues
Our consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $64.3 million, compared to $96.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Manufacturing segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $53.0 million, compared to $90.2 million for the corresponding prior year period. The $37.2 million decrease in Manufacturing segment revenues was primarily driven by a decrease in the volume of railcar units delivered from 710 railcars during the three months ended March 31, 2025, to 577 railcars during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and a lower average sales price in the mix of cars delivered in the current period. Aftermarket segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $11.4 million, compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting increased volume of component sales during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Gross Profit
Our consolidated gross profit was $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Consolidated gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 16.8% and 14.9%, respectively. Manufacturing segment gross profit was $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Manufacturing segment gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, was 13.8% and 13.4%, respectively. The $3.6 million decrease and 1.9% increase in consolidated gross profit and gross margin, respectively, driven by the $4.8 million decrease and 0.4% increase in Manufacturing segment gross profit and gross margin, respectively, reflect lower sales volume with a favorable price mix. Aftermarket segment gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $3.5 million, compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $1.2 million increase in Aftermarket segment is driven by favorable volume.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $0.9 million increase in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in finance expenses and a $1.3 million increase in legal expenses, offset by a $0.9 million decrease in stock-based compensation during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, were 0.8% of revenue. Aftermarket segment selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by the aforementioned increases in finance and legal expenses and the corresponding reduction in stock based compensation during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Gain on Change in Fair Market Value of Warrant Liability
Our gain on change in fair market value of Warrant liability was $49.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $52.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change in fair market value of Warrant liability is driven by the fluctuation of stock price used to remeasure the liability at the end of each period as well as fluctuations in the number of shares underlying the outstanding warrants.
20
Other Income (Expense)
Other income was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to other expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in other income is driven by a favorable change in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency.
Income Taxes
Our income tax provision was $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to our income tax provision of $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The income tax provision is due to changes in the mix of income among jurisdictions with different statutory tax rates and the impact of permanent items.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
(In thousands, except for share and per share data and unless otherwise noted)
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalent balances on hand and our credit and debt facilities outlined below.
On December 31, 2024, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with FreightCar North America, LLC, certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto, and Blue Torch Finance LLC, as administrative and collateral agent, providing for a $115,000 term loan maturing December 31, 2028 (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan includes customary affirmative and negative covenants and financial covenants, including minimum liquidity requirements and quarterly leverage ratio testing beginning March 31, 2025. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2026. The Term Loan also includes an annual mandatory prepayment provision based on Excess Cash Flow, as defined in the agreement, requiring the Company to apply a portion of such cash flow to repay outstanding borrowings. Deferred financing costs of $6,511 are recorded as a reduction of long-term debt and amortized to interest expense over the term of the Term Loan.
The Term Loan bears interest at the Term Secured Overnight Refinancing Rate (“Term SOFR”), with a floor of 3.00% per annum, plus an applicable margin of 6.00% per annum or at a base rate, as selected by the Company as the borrower. Base rate loans, with respect to the Term Loan, bear interest at the highest of (a) 4.00% per annum, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (c) the prime rate or (d) the Term SOFR rate plus 1.00% per annum plus an applicable margin of 5.00%. The Term Loan bears interest at 9.7% as of March 31, 2026.
On February 12, 2025, the Company entered into a $35,000 asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, maturing February 12, 2030, subject to a springing maturity of October 2, 2028 if the Term Loan is not repaid or refinanced by October 1, 2028. Availability under the ABL is subject to a borrowing base derived from eligible inventory and accounts receivable, which secure the facility.
The ABL contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and financial covenants that are triggered upon reduced availability and remain in effect while such condition exists. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2026. Revolving loans outstanding bear interest at the Term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum or at a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.00% per annum, as selected by the Company as the borrower. Base rate loans, with respect to the ABL, bear interest at the highest of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (c) Term SOFR rate plus 1.00%, provided that the base rate may not be less than 1.00%. As of March 31, 2026, the ABL bears interest at 5.5%.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $31,253 of availability under the ABL, net of $452 reserved for foreign currency derivative mark-to-market adjustments and $197 reserved for a standby letter of credit. Deferred financing costs of $874 are recorded as an asset and amortized to interest expense over the term of the ABL.
Warrant
The Company issued warrants to OC III LFE II LP (“OC III LFE”) and various affiliates of OC III LFE (collectively, the “Warrantholder”) in previous years which are exercisable on the terms described in Note 11 - Warrants.
21
Additional Liquidity Factors
Based on our current level of operations and known changes in planned volume based on our backlog, we believe that our cash balances will be sufficient to meet our expected liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. Our long-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance and our ability to continue to meet financial covenants under our revolving credit facilities, any other indebtedness and the availability of additional financing if needed. We may also require additional capital in the future to fund working capital for various reasons, such as future railcar demand; payments for contractual obligations; organic growth opportunities, including new plant and equipment and development of railcars; joint ventures; international expansion; and acquisitions, and these capital requirements could be substantial.
Based upon our operating performance and capital requirements, we may, from time to time, be required to raise additional funds through additional offerings of our equity or debt and through long-term borrowings. There can be no assurance that long-term debt, if needed, will be available on terms attractive to us, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Our failure to raise capital if and when needed could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flow activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Operating Activities. Our net cash used in operating activities reflects net income adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash flows from operating activities are affected by several factors, including fluctuations in business volume, contract terms for billings and collections, the timing of collections on our contract receivables, processing of payroll and associated taxes, payments to our suppliers and other operating activities. As some of our customers accept delivery of new railcars in train-set quantities, variations in our sales could lead to significant fluctuations in our operating profits and cash from operating activities.
Our net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $4.3 million compared to $12.8 million provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 reflects changes in working capital, including an increase in inventories of $10.2 million, a decrease in accounts and contractual payables of $3.5 million, and an increase in income taxes payable of $1.4 million, partially offset by an increase in customer deposits of $5.3 million. Our net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflects changes in working capital, including an increase in accounts payable of $18.6 million, and an increase in customer deposits of $17.6 million, offset by increases in inventory of $6.6 million and accounts receivable of $5.9 million and a decrease in other assets and liabilities of $9.8 million.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $0.1 million and consisted of capital expenditures related to enhancement of machinery and equipment on current production lines of the Manufacturing Facility. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.3 million and consisted of capital expenditures related to the enhancement of machinery and equipment on current production lines of the Manufacturing Facility.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $7.0 million which included borrowing and repayment on revolving line of credit of $8.0 million, repayment on term loan of $6.6 million, and employee stock settlements of $0.4 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $2.8 million which included deferred financing costs of $1.3 million, repayment on term loan of $0.7 million, employee stock settlements of $0.5 million, and principal payments on the finance lease of $0.3 million.
22
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures were $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. We anticipate capital expenditures during 2026 to be in the range of $7 million to $10 million, related to the enhancement of machinery and equipment on current production lines at the Manufacturing Facility, as well as investment in new machinery and equipment related to production of tank cars.
