Greenbrier Reports Second Quarter Results
Operating cash flow of $159 million
Continued strong fleet utilization of 98%
Increases quarterly dividend by 6% to $0.34 per share
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 second fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2026.
Second Quarter Highlights
•
Strong operating cash flow of $159 million.
•
In Q2, new railcar orders for 2,900 units valued at $390 million and deliveries of 3,800 units, resulting in a new railcar backlog of 15,200 units with an estimated value of $2.1 billion as of February 28, 2026.
•
Board increased quarterly dividend by 6% to $0.34 per share, payable on May 11, 2026 to shareholders of record as of April 20, 2026, representing Greenbrier’s 48th consecutive quarterly dividend.
•
Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier of $15 million, or $0.47 per diluted share.
•
EBITDA of $61 million, or 10% of revenue.
“Greenbrier delivered resilient second quarter results in a low-volume environment,” said Lorie L. Tekorius, CEO and President. “Our integrated business model, supported by disciplined execution and strong cash generation, continued to drive performance. We further strengthened our liquidity and balance sheet, providing flexibility while customer commitments remain measured and market conditions continue to evolve.”
Tekorius added, “Our focus remains on operational execution, cost discipline and improving our through-cycle performance across the business. The increase in our quarterly dividend reflects the Board's confidence in the strength of our business model, cash generation and long-term outlook. The higher dividend underscores the durability of Greenbrier’s earnings, supported by an enhanced operating platform, strong liquidity, and a continued focus on sustained shareholder value.”

Business Update & Outlook
Greenbrier updates fiscal 2026 guidance to reflect a more gradual production ramp-up resulting from a shift of deliveries into early fiscal 2027. This is driven by order timing rather than changes to underlying demand. The revised outlook also includes increased investment in the lease fleet, with double digit fleet growth expected in fiscal 2026 to grow recurring revenue.

Effective September 1, 2025, the Company changed its methodology for allocating revenue and expenses associated with syndication activity between the two reportable segments. Syndication activity is now being reflected in the Manufacturing segment. This change had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position and prior period segment results have been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

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, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Greenbrier uses words, and variations of words, such as “affect,” “approximately,” “are,” “backlog,” “believe,” “continue,” “drive,” “estimate,” “grow,” “long-term,” “may,” “recurring,” “result,” “strategy,” “strong,” “target,” “trend,” 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
EBITDA is not a financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This metric is a performance measurement tool used by rail supply companies and Greenbrier. You should not consider this metric in isolation or as a substitute for other financial statement data determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because this metric is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, the measure presented may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
We define EBITDA as Net earnings before Interest and foreign exchange, Income tax expense, Depreciation and amortization. We believe the presentation of EBITDA provides useful information as it excludes the impact of financing, foreign exchange, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending. 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.
