Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $2.27, up 15.8% versus the same quarter a year ago. Second quarter sales were $2.71 billion and cash from operations was $209 million.

"The Wabtec team has delivered another strong quarter, highlighted by margin expansion and double digit earnings per share growth," said Rafael Santana, Wabtec's President and CEO.

"With the first half of the year complete, we remain focused on executing our priorities for the second half. Demand across our end markets and our pipeline of opportunities continues to be strong, with significant activity underway in key businesses.

"Alongside the strength of our core business, I am especially proud of our year to date progress on M&A. We have committed $3.5 billion to investments that are expected to create immediate value for Shareholders, with projected accretive growth profiles, higher adjusted EBITDA margins, increased adjusted EPS in the first year, and improving ROIC over time.

"While the broader economic environment remains uncertain, we are committed to maintaining discipline and taking the necessary actions to achieve our goals."

2025 Second Quarter Consolidated Results

• Sales increased 2.3% compared to the year-ago quarter driven by higher sales in the Transit segment partially offset by lower Equipment sales. Freight revenue was adversely impacted by lower locomotive deliveries than expected due to a supplied part issue.

• GAAP operating margin was higher than the prior year at 17.4%, and adjusted operating margin was higher than the prior year at 21.1%. Both GAAP and adjusted operating margins benefited from higher sales and improved gross margins.

• GAAP EPS and adjusted EPS increased from the year-ago quarter primarily due to higher sales, operating margin expansion and benefits from share repurchases.

2025 Second Quarter Freight Segment Results

• Freight segment sales for the second quarter were largely flat compared to the year ago quarter. Services sales were up 6.0% due to higher parts sales and modernization deliveries; however, this was largely offset with the impact of lower locomotive deliveries in the quarter due to a supplied part issue and lower mining sales. These deliveries are expected to shift to the 2nd half of 2025.

• GAAP operating margin and adjusted operating margin benefited from improved gross margin.

2025 Second Quarter Transit Segment Results

• Transit segment sales for the second quarter were up 8.7% driven by higher OE and aftermarket sales.

• GAAP and adjusted operating margins were up as a result of higher sales and improved gross margins.

Backlog

• The Company's multi-year backlog continues to provide strong visibility. At June 30, 2025, the 12-month backlog was $876 million higher than the prior year period. At June 30, 2025, the multi-year backlog was $247 million lower than the prior year period, and excluding foreign currency exchange, the multi-year backlog was $448 million lower, down 2.0%.

Cash Flow and Liquidity Summary

• During the second quarter, cash provided by operations was $209 million versus $235 million in the year ago period partially due to higher working capital, which was affected by higher inventories due to the delay in Q2 locomotive deliveries and timing of customer deposits.

• At the end of the quarter, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $1.50 billion and total debt of $4.78 billion. At June 30, 2025, the Company's total available liquidity was $4.09 billion, which includes cash and cash equivalents plus $2.25 billion available under current credit facilities and $350 million borrowings available under our Revolving Receivables Program.

• During the quarter, the Company paid $44 million in dividends and repurchased $50 million of Wabtec shares.

2025 Financial Guidance

• Wabtec revenue guidance was increased by $200 million at the mid-point with a range of $10.925 billion to $11.225 billion, largely reflecting the acquisition of Evident Inspection Technologies Division completed on July 1, 2025.

• Wabtec increased its 2025 adjusted EPS guidance range to $8.55 to $9.15, up $0.20 at the mid-point.

• For full year 2025, Wabtec expects operating cash flow conversion of greater than 90 percent.

Forecasted GAAP Earnings Reconciliation

Wabtec is not presenting a quantitative reconciliation of our forecasted GAAP earnings per diluted share to forecasted adjusted earnings per diluted share in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exemption provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Wabtec is unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the impact and timing of restructuring-related and other charges, including acquisition-related expenses and the outcome of certain regulatory, legal and tax matters. The financial impact of these items is uncertain and is dependent on various factors, including timing, and could be material to our Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Information about non-GAAP Financial Information and Forward-Looking Statements

Wabtec's earnings release and 2025 financial guidance mentions certain non-GAAP financial performance measures, including adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating margin, adjusted gross margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted income from operations, adjusted interest and other expense, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share and operating cash flow conversion. Wabtec defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted by restructuring costs. Wabtec defines operating cash flow conversion as net cash provided by operating activities divided by net income plus depreciation and amortization including deferred debt cost amortization. While Wabtec believes these are useful supplemental measures for investors, they are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operations, or any other items calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this release have inherent material limitations as performance measures because they add back certain expenses incurred by the Company to GAAP financial measures, resulting in those expenses not being taken into account in the applicable non-GAAP financial measure. Because not all companies use identical calculations, Wabtec's presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Included in this release are reconciliation tables that provide details about how adjusted results relate to GAAP results.
