FreightCar America, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results

Fourth consecutive quarter of positive gross margin, second consecutive quarter of positive manufacturing operating income

Company reiterates delivery outlook for fiscal year 2021

FreightCar America, Inc. (NASDAQ: RAIL) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Business Highlights

"Overall, we are pleased with FreightCar America's continuing momentum, including our fourth consecutive quarter of positive gross margin," said Jim Meyer, President and Chief Executive Officer of FreightCar America. "However, our results for the quarter were impacted by the difficult launch of a new railcar model. That event aside, which is now well behind us, we wholeheartedly believe in the business transformation we've completed and remain focused on returning to long-term growth and profitability."

Meyer continued, "While industry demand fundamentals remain strong, the pace of recovery is being gated by certain external factors starting with raw material cost inflation. Sales inquiries, however, continue to be very healthy and support our footprint expansion announced earlier this year."

Meyer concluded, "We are also pleased to announce that subsequent to quarter-end, we received a portion of the outstanding VAT receivable in Mexico. As of today, we have received $10.2 million of the outstanding VAT receivable, which was $30.1 million on September 30, 2021."
