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.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
warrant liability financial
"change in fair market value of the Company's warrant liability"
Warrant liability is the financial obligation a company records when it grants warrants—special options giving the holder the right to buy company shares at a set price in the future. It matters to investors because changes in this liability can affect a company's reported earnings and overall financial health, similar to how a pending contract can influence a company's future value.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures financial
"Non-GAAP Financial Measures"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
Free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow represents the amount of Cash flows provided by operating activities less capital expenditures."
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

Press Release

 

FreightCar America, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results

 

Backlog Value Up 28% Year over Year

Aftermarket Revenue Growth of 65% Year over Year

 

Reaffirms Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook Provided on October 19

 

CHICAGO, November 9, 2026 – FreightCar America, Inc. (NASDAQ: RAIL) (“FreightCar America” or the “Company”), a diversified manufacturer and supplier of railroad freight cars, railcar parts and components, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. Third quarter results were consistent with the preliminary results the Company announced on October 19, 2026.

 

Third Quarter 2026 Highlights

 

•
Revenues of $76.5 million, compared to $160.5 million in the third quarter of 2025, with railcar deliveries of 662 units compared to 1,304 units in the prior year period
•
Aftermarket revenues grew 65% year over year, reflecting continued organic growth in parts and components and the contribution from our recent acquisitions
•
Gross margin of 8.8% with gross profit of $6.7 million, compared to gross margin of 15.1% with gross profit of $24.2 million in the third quarter of 2025
•
Recorded a $4.7 million non-cash gain related to the change in fair market value of the warrant liability, resulting in net income of $8 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, and adjusted net loss of $9.5 million, or $(0.28) per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $7.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the prior year period
•
Adjusted EBITDA of $0.1 million, representing a margin of 0.2%, compared to $15.9 million and a margin of 9.9% in the third quarter of 2025
•
Ended the quarter with a backlog of 2,660 units valued at $284.5 million, up 28% from $222.0 million at September 30, 2025
•
Completed the acquisition of Trinity Equipment Company following quarter end, expanding our aftermarket platform and marking our third transaction in less than a year

 

“While our third quarter results reflect a challenging period for the business, they were consistent with the preliminary figures we reported in October,” said Nick Randall, President and Chief Executive Officer of FreightCar America. “We continued to make progress on our commercial priorities, with order intake through the first nine months exceeding our total for all of 2025 and backlog value up 28% year over year. Following quarter end, we completed our third aftermarket acquisition, further expanding our parts and components offering.”

Randall continued, “Looking ahead, some industry indicators are improving, although we have yet to see that translate into broader growth in railcar demand. Our backlog provides visibility into planned production, and our focus remains on disciplined execution, cost control and converting orders into profitable deliveries. We continue to integrate our acquisitions and grow our aftermarket business, while maintaining the manufacturing flexibility to respond to changes in customer demand.”

 

 

 


 

Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook

 

The Company is reaffirming its outlook for fiscal year 2026, as provided on October 19, 2026:

 

 

Fiscal 2026 Outlook

Railcar Deliveries

3,100 - 3,300 railcars

Revenue

$370 - $410 million

Adjusted EBITDA1

$15 - $19 million

 

 

1. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying adjustments necessary to calculate such non-GAAP measure without unreasonable effort. Material changes to such adjustments, including warrant liability and non-core operating items, could affect future GAAP results.

 

Mike Riordan, Chief Financial Officer of FreightCar America, added, “Our balance sheet remains solid, with no borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our cost structure has improved, and our aftermarket business is contributing a growing share of our results. Integration of our acquired businesses is on track, and our most recent acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive, consistent with our capital allocation priorities. With our full-year outlook unchanged, our focus is on converting our backlog into profitable deliveries.”

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release contains statements relating to our expected financial performance, financial condition, and/or future business prospects, events and/or plans that are “forward-looking statements” as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this press release. Our actual results may differ materially from the results described in or anticipated by our forward-looking statements due to certain risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties relate to, among other things, the cyclical nature of our business; adverse geopolitical, 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; our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; 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. New factors emerge from time to time that may cause our business not to develop as we expect, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We expressly disclaim any duty to provide updates to any forward-looking statements made in this press release, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(1) EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry. In addition, our management uses EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance. The calculation of EBITDA eliminates the effects of financing, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending. These items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to the overall performance of the company’s business. EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, when analyzing our operating performance, investors should not consider EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other statements of operations or statements of cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our calculation of EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to that of other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

 

(2) Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before the following charges:

(a)
This adjustment removes the non-cash (income) expense associated with the change in fair market value of the Company’s warrant liability.
(b)
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company incurred workforce realignment costs as a result of sustained productivity gains in its Manufacturing segment.
(c)
During 2026 and 2025, the Company incurred certain professional services expenses associated with governance items.
(d)
During 2026, the Company incurred costs related to the acquisition and integration of businesses in its Aftermarket segment.
(e)
Represents lease payments recorded within Interest expense due to certain leases previously classified as financing prior to December 2025.

 

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because it eliminates the impact of certain non-cash charges and other special items that affect the comparability of results in past quarters. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, when analyzing our operating performance, investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other statements of operations or statements of cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to that of other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
