Wabash Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results

LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wabash (NYSE: WNC), a leader in end-to-end supply chain solutions for the transportation, logistics and infrastructure markets, today reported results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, net sales were $321.5 million. Operating loss was $59.9 million, or (18.6)% of sales. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $49.9 million, or $(1.23) per diluted share. Non-GAAP adjusted operating loss was $43.8 million, or (13.6)% of sales and Non-GAAP adjusted net loss attributable to common stockholders was $37.8 million, or $(0.93) per diluted share. For the full year 2025, revenue totaled $1.54 billion with operating income of $307.5 million or non-GAAP adjusted operating loss of $95 million, representing (6.2)% of sales. Full year net income attributable to common stockholders was $211.5 million, or $5.07 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, full year net income was $(89.9) million, or $(2.15) per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure that excludes the effects of certain items, for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $(26.2) million, or (8.1)% of net sales, and full year adjusted EBITDA was $(24.6) million, or (1.6)% of net sales.

Total Company backlog as of December 31, 2025 was approximately $705 million, as capital spending decisions continue to be delayed and highly managed.

Given the current market conditions and lack of visibility, we are providing guidance only for the first quarter of 2026, and will not be issuing full-year 2026 guidance at this time. For the first quarter, we expect revenue be in the range of $310 million to $330 million and adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of ($0.95) to ($1.05).

“While conditions on the ground are improving for our customers, we have limited visibility into timing, pace and sustainability of the freight market recovery. With that said, the underlying conditions for a strong trailer demand response is growing once the freight market recovery threshold is met and our customers look to recapture profitability and get back to a growth mindset. But for now, our customers continue to defer capital spending decisions, and order patterns remain uneven, reflecting a highly managed near term reality across freight, construction, and industrial end markets.," explained Brent Yeagy, President and Chief Executive Officer. "While near-term conditions remain challenging, customer engagement around 2026 purchasing decisions is ongoing, and many fleet order commitments for the year remain open and active, a positive departure from historic norms for this period of the sales cycle for trailers. Based on these discussions and early order activity, we believe full-year 2026 revenue and operating margin is likely to be higher than 2025, even though the timing and shape of demand recovery remain uncertain.”

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the financial information included in this release contains non-GAAP financial measures including adjusted operating (loss) income, adjusted operating (loss) income margin, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss) income, adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share, free cash flow, adjusted segment EBITDA, and adjusted segment EBITDA margin. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures and results calculated in accordance with GAAP, including net (loss) income, net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, and reconciliations to GAAP financial statements should be carefully evaluated.

Adjusted operating (loss) income and margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, excludes certain costs, expenses, other charges, gains or income that are included in the determination of operating (loss) income under U.S. GAAP, but that management would not consider important in evaluating the quality of the Company’s operating results as they are not indicative of the Company’s core operating results or may obscure trends useful in evaluating the Company’s continuing activities. Accordingly, the Company presents adjusted operating (loss) income and margin excluding these special items to help investors evaluate our operating performance and trends in our business consistent with how management evaluates such performance and trends. Further, the Company presents adjusted operating (loss) income and margin to provide investors with a better understanding of the Company’s view of our results as compared to prior periods. Adjusted operating (loss) income margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating (loss) income by total net sales. A reconciliation of adjusted operating (loss) income to operating (loss) income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in the tables following this release.

Adjusted EBITDA includes noncontrolling interest & excludes loss from unconsolidated entity and is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, the Missouri legal matter, impairment and other, net, and other non-operating income and expense. Management believes providing adjusted EBITDA is useful for investors to understand the Company’s performance and results of operations period to period with the exclusion of the items identified above. Management believes the presentation of adjusted EBITDA, when combined with the GAAP presentations of operating (loss) income and net (loss) income, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of the Company’s operating performance. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in the tables following this release.

Adjusted net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders and adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share reflect an adjustment for Impairments, the Missouri legal matter and the related tax effect of those adjustments. Management believes providing adjusted measures and excluding certain items facilitates comparisons to the Company’s prior year periods and, when combined with the GAAP presentation of net (loss) income and diluted net (loss) income per share, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of the Company’s performance. A reconciliation of adjusted net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders and adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share to net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders and diluted net (loss) earnings per share, the most comparable GAAP financial measures, are included in the tables following this release.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities minus cash payments for capital expenditures minus expenditures for revenue generating assets. Management believes providing free cash flow is useful for investors to understand the Company’s performance and results of cash generation period to period with the exclusion of the item identified above. Management believes the presentation of free cash flow, when combined with the GAAP presentations of cash provided by operating activities, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of the Company’s operating performance. A reconciliation of free cash flow to cash (used in) provided by operating activities, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in the tables following this release.

Adjusted segment EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, includes noncontrolling interest & excludes loss from unconsolidated entity and is calculated by adding back segment depreciation and amortization expense to segment operating (loss) income, and excludes certain costs, expenses, other charges, gains or income that are included in the determination of operating (loss) income under GAAP, but that management would not consider important in evaluating the quality of the Company’s segment operating results as they are not indicative of each segment's core operating results or may obscure trends useful in evaluating the segment's continuing activities. Adjusted segment EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted segment EBITDA by segment total net sales. A reconciliation of adjusted segment EBITDA to (loss) income from operations, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, is included in the tables following this release.

Information reconciling any forward-looking adjusted operating (loss) income, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net (loss) income, adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share, free cash flow, adjusted segment EBITDA and adjusted segment EBITDA margin to GAAP financial measures is unavailable to us without unreasonable effort. We cannot provide reconciliations of the above noted forward looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP financial measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Preparation of such reconciliations would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flows, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to us without unreasonable effort.
