Earnings Disclosure Analyst

Wabtec furnished Q3 results and FY2025 guidance; details reside in exhibits and are furnished, not filed.

On October 22, 2025, Wabtec (WAB) furnished its Q3 results and provided fiscal year 2025 guidance via Form 8‑K Items 2.02 and 7.01. The earnings press release (Exhibit 99.1) and the Q3 investor presentation (Exhibit 99.2) contain the operative data and outlook. The company designates these materials as “furnished, not filed,” which limits Section 18 liability and avoids automatic incorporation into other filings.

The 8‑K highlights forward‑looking statements covering sales, earnings, cash conversion, cost actions tied to Integration 2.0/3.0, portfolio optimization, and a 5‑year outlook. It also enumerates risk factors that could affect outcomes, including macro conditions, customer strategies, integration costs, regulatory shifts, timing of projects, demand in freight/passenger rail, manufacturing costs, and cybersecurity. This framing signals that guidance and synergy expectations depend on these variables.

Key items to watch reside in Exhibit 99.1 under “2025 Financial Guidance,” and in the Q3 deck for any commentary on cost savings and demand conditions through FY2025. The materials are also posted on the company’s website as of October 22, 2025. Any subsequent update would arrive through later 8‑Ks or periodic reports covering the remainder of 2025.
