FreightCar America Q3 revenue falls to $76.5M in 2026
Nine-month operating cash flow was $33.1 million, and September 30 backlog was valued at $285 million.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
FreightCar America, Inc. (RAIL) reported third-quarter revenue of $76.5 million, compared with $160.5 million a year earlier, and gross profit of $6.7 million versus $24.2 million. Third-quarter net income was $8,000, compared with a $7.445 million loss. For the first nine months, revenue was $253.9 million versus $375.4 million and net income was $11.554 million versus $54.682 million; gross margin was 9.3%, compared with 15.0%.
Operating cash flow for the nine months was $33.1 million, compared with $24.7 million. As of September 30, backlog was 2,660 railcars with estimated sales value of $285 million; 1,285 railcars were removed during the quarter, reducing backlog value by approximately $81 million. After quarter-end, FreightCar completed the acquisition of substantially all assets and certain specified liabilities of Trinity Equipment Co. and TEC Manufacturing & Distribution on October 16, 2026, paying approximately $2.8 million cash at closing, plus contingent consideration of up to $1.4 million based on qualifying gross profit from specified product lines during the following 12 months.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 to conform to the current-year presentation, including the reclassification of lease liability changes to other assets and liabilities within the consolidated statements of cash flows. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported consolidated statements of operations or net cash flows. 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:

Note 15 – Derivatives
The Company’s operations and expenditures in its normal course of business are subject to opportunities and risks related to foreign currency and commodity price fluctuations.

The Company does not have any non-designated derivatives. The Company assesses the assumed effectiveness of the contracts at each reporting period. The derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheets at fair value. The Company records unrealized gains or losses related to changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments in other comprehensive income as long as the contracts are assumed to be effective. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the condensed consolidated statements of operations on the same line as the items being hedged when the hedged item impacts earnings or upon determination that the contract is no longer assumed to be effective.

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 September 30, 2026 and 2025,

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.
OVERVIEW
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 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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2026 were 4,185 units, consisting of 3,785 new railcars and 400 converted and rebodied railcars, compared to orders for 2,906 units, consisting of 2,206 new railcars and 700 converted and rebodied railcars, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Total backlog of unfilled orders was 2,660 units as of September 30, 2026, compared to 1,926 railcars as of December 31, 2025. The estimated sales value of the backlog was $285 million and $137 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company removed 1,285 railcars from its backlog because the Company believes that the customer in question is unlikely to be able to meet its obligations under the associated customer contract, resulting in a reduction in backlog value of approximately $81 million. The increase in the number of net railcar orders received for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the prior year period represents the continued growth of the Company’s commercial footprint.
Our backlog is not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Certain orders included in backlog remain subject to customary documentation and completion of contractual terms. Customers may modify or cancel orders, although historically there has been limited variation between the number of railcars ordered and those ultimately delivered. Delivery schedules may also change from time to time.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2025
Revenues
Our consolidated revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2026 were $76.5 million, compared to $160.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Manufacturing segment revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2026 were $65.7 million, compared to $154.0 million for the corresponding prior year period. The $88.3 million decrease in Manufacturing segment revenues was primarily driven by a combination of lower railcar delivery volumes and an unfavorable product mix in the cars delivered in the period. Aftermarket segment revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2026 were $10.8 million, compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, primarily reflecting sales from acquisitions.
Gross Profit
Our consolidated gross profit decreased $17.5 million to $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $24.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Consolidated gross margin decreased 6.3% to 8.8% from 15.1% for the respective periods. Manufacturing segment gross profit decreased $20.3 million to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $22.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Manufacturing segment gross margin decreased 11.5% to 2.9% from 14.4% for the respective periods. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by lower railcar delivery volumes, while the decline in gross margin was primarily attributable to an unfavorable product mix of railcars delivered during the period. Aftermarket segment gross profit increased $2.8 million to $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to increased sales and contributions from acquisitions.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses for each of the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, were 0.5% and 0.3% of revenue, respectively. Aftermarket segment selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $0.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025. Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses were $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
26
Gain/(Loss) on Change in Fair Market Value of Warrant Liability
Our gain on change in fair market value of Warrant liability was $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to a loss of $17.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Changes in the fair value of the warrant liability were primarily driven by fluctuations in the Company's common stock price and the number of shares underlying the warrants. During the second quarter of 2026, the partial exercise of the 2020, 2021 and 2022 Warrants resulted in a substantial reduction in the outstanding warrant liability, as further discussed in Note 11 – Warrants.
Other (Expense) Income
Other expense was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to other income of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The change in other (expense) income was primarily attributable to foreign currency remeasurement gains recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Income Tax Benefit
Our income tax benefit was $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to our income tax benefit of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in income tax benefit was primarily driven by the effects of permanent book/tax differences, discrete tax events, and jurisdictional mix of pre-tax earnings.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
Revenues
Our consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $253.9 million, compared to $375.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Manufacturing segment revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $222.9 million, compared to $354.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The $132.0 million decrease in Manufacturing segment revenues was primarily driven by a combination of lower railcar delivery volumes and an unfavorable product mix in the cars delivered in the period. Aftermarket segment revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were $31.0 million, compared to $20.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily reflecting sales from acquisitions.
Gross Profit
Our consolidated gross profit decreased $32.7 million to $23.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $56.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Consolidated gross margin decreased 5.7% to 9.3% from 15.0% for the respective periods. Manufacturing segment gross profit decreased $36.7 million to $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $49.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Manufacturing segment gross margin decreased 8.3% to 5.6% from 13.9% for the respective periods. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by lower railcar delivery volumes, while the decline in gross margin was primarily attributable to an unfavorable product mix of railcars delivered during the period. Aftermarket segment gross profit increased $4.0 million to $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to increased sales and contributions from acquisitions.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses were $31.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $30.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The $1.3 million increase in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in legal costs and a $1.3 million increase in transaction costs, partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in salaries expense, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, were 0.6% and 0.3% of revenue, respectively. Aftermarket segment selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses were $27.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $27.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily driven by the aforementioned increase in transaction costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
27
Gain/(Loss) on Change in Fair Market Value of Warrant Liability
Our gain on change in fair market value of Warrant liability was $28.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to a loss of $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Changes in the fair value of the warrant liability were primarily driven by fluctuations in the Company's common stock price and the number of shares underlying the warrants. During the second quarter of 2026, the partial exercise of the 2020, 2021 and 2022 Warrants resulted in a substantial reduction in the outstanding warrant liability, as further discussed in Note 11 – Warrants.
Other (Expense) Income
Other expense was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to other income of $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease in other income is primarily driven by the $3.3 million Employee Retention Credit received during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, partially offset by a $0.1 million loss on sale of assets held for sale recognized in the same period.
Income Tax Benefit
Our income tax benefit was $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to our income tax benefit of $51.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The income tax benefit primarily reflects the release of the majority of the valuation allowance in the United States on federal deferred tax assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
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 equivalents 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 September 30, 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 Financing 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2026, the ABL bears interest at 5.8%.
As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $16,779 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.
28
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.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Warrantholder partially exercised the 2020, 2021 and 2022 Warrants through the contractual net exercise provisions, resulting in the issuance of 13,619,377 shares of Common Stock. Because the warrants were exercised on a net settlement basis, the Company did not receive any cash proceeds from the transaction.
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

Operating Activities. Our net cash provided by 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 provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $33.1 million compared to $24.7 million provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Our net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 reflects changes in working capital, including increases in accounts payable of $51.0 million and customer deposits of $15.7 million, partially offset by increases in inventory of $9.9 million and accounts receivable of $6.6 million. Our net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 reflects changes in working capital, including increases in accounts payable of $47.7 million and customer deposits of $8.2 million, partially offset by increases in inventory of $27.9 million and accounts receivable of $20.0 million. The changes in inventory and accounts payable were primarily attributable to the timing of raw material purchases and payments to suppliers in support of railcar production and deliveries. Changes in customer deposits and accounts receivable were primarily driven by the timing of customer billings and collections based on contractual payment terms and railcar production schedules.
29
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $2.2 million and primarily consisted of $1.2 million in capital expenditures related to enhancement of machinery and equipment on current production lines of the Manufacturing Facility, a $0.4 million payment of holdback liability in connection with the CRC acquisition, and $0.5 million payment for the acquisition of certain assets of SPE. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $1.5 million and consisted of capital expenditures of $2.1 million related to additional machinery and equipment on current production lines of the Manufacturing Facility, offset by proceeds of $0.6 million from the sale of assets held for sale.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $8.5 million, primarily consisting of $8.0 million in term loan repayments and $0.4 million in employee stock settlements. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $4.9 million which included deferred financing costs of $1.3 million, repayments on term loan of $2.2 million, employee stock settlements of $0.5 million, and principal payments on the finance lease of $0.9 million.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures were $1.2 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We anticipate capital expenditures during 2026 to be in the range of $2 million to $3 million, related to the replacement and enhancement of machinery and equipment used in manufacturing of railcars.
