  • Adjusted EBITDA for the year was $318.2 million, or 12.6% of revenue.
  • New railcar deliveries totaled 20,900 units for the year.
  • Orders of 21,900 units valued at approximately $2.2 billion across a broad range of railcar types. 30% of orders originated internationally.
  • Cash provided by operating activities exceeded $100 million for the year.

Fiscal Year 2019 Highlights     

  • Greenbrier renewed, extended and increased its revolving credit facility and leasing term loan totaling $825 million. Extending both facilities to 2023, the additional liquidity supports Greenbrier's strategic objective to grow at scale.
  • Today, Greenbrier separately announced an agreement to form a joint venture with Saudi Railway Company ("SAR") that will generate a total investment of 1 billion Saudi riyals (USD $270 million) in Saudi Arabia's railway system and a supply of freight railcars for the Saudi rail industry.

William A. Furman, Chairman and CEO, said, "Greenbrier delivered solid results for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2018.  Orders for 21,900 railcars valued at $2.2 billion in 2018 are up more than 30% compared to 2017, approaching record order levels set in 2015.  Additionally, 30% of Greenbrier's orders in 2018 came from international customers.  Order momentum in the second half of fiscal 2018 corresponds with an improving North American market.  Railcars in storage have been steadily declining and forecasts for annual railcar deliveries in 2019 and 2020 are expected to exceed 60,000 units each year.  Greenbrier's backlog of 27,400 units, valued at $2.7 billion, is diverse by product type and geographic markets served, providing visibility through fiscal 2019 and into 2020."

Furman added, "Greenbrier's earnings performance in fiscal 2018 was our third best ever.  Revenue and deliveries were within the guidance range for the year, and aggregate gross margin remains favorable considering the North American freight railcar pricing environment.  Greenbrier ended the year with a robust balance sheet, ample liquidity and low levels of debt, positioning us for strong operating cash flow in fiscal 2019."

"Our strategy to diversify internationally is succeeding.  Greenbrier has firmly established commercial and manufacturing operations on four continents.  In August, Greenbrier acquired a majority ownership of Turkish railcar builder Rayvag.  This morning GBX announced its intention to establish a joint venture with SAR to execute railway projects and supply railcars for profitable growth of the Saudi freight rail market.  This investment supports the objectives of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 plan.  Recent trade policy advancements in America are also favorable to Greenbrier's international business.  This includes progress by the United States, Mexico and Canada on a free trade agreement and Congressional action that blunts the advancement of state-owned enterprises and supports free markets for railcar manufacturing and its vast supply chain," Furman concluded.

Business Outlook

Based on current business trends and production schedules for fiscal 2019, Greenbrier believes:

  • Deliveries will be 24,000 – 26,000 units including Greenbrier-Maxion (Brazil) which will account for approximately 2,000 units
  • Revenue will exceed $3.0 billion
  • Diluted EPS of $4.20 – 4.40

As noted in the "Safe Harbor" statement, there are risks to achieving this guidance.  Certain orders and backlog in this release are subject to customary documentation and completion of terms.

"SAFE HARBOR" STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995:  This press release may contain forward-looking statements, including any statements that are not purely statements of historical fact. Greenbrier uses words such as "anticipates," "believes," "forecast," "potential," "goal," "contemplates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "hopes," "seeks," "estimates," "strategy," "could," "would," "should," "likely," "will," "may," "can," "designed to," "future," "foreseeable future" and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. 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, reported backlog and awards that are not indicative of Greenbrier's financial results; uncertainty or changes in the credit markets and financial services industry; high levels of indebtedness and compliance with the terms of Greenbrier's indebtedness; write-downs of goodwill, intangibles and other assets in future periods; sufficient availability of borrowing capacity; fluctuations in demand for newly manufactured railcars or failure to obtain orders as anticipated in developing forecasts; loss of one or more significant customers; customer payment defaults or related issues; policies and priorities of the federal government regarding international trade, taxation and infrastructure; sovereign risk to contracts, exchange rates or property rights; actual future costs and the availability of materials and a trained workforce; failure to design or manufacture new products or technologies or to achieve certification or market acceptance of new products or technologies; steel or specialty component price fluctuations and availability and scrap surcharges; changes in product mix and the mix between segments; labor disputes, energy shortages or operating difficulties that might disrupt manufacturing operations or the flow of cargo; production difficulties and product delivery delays as a result of, among other matters, costs or inefficiencies associated with expansion, start-up, or changing of production lines or changes in production rates, changing technologies, transfer of production between facilities or non-performance of alliance partners, subcontractors or suppliers; ability to obtain suitable contracts for the sale of leased equipment and risks related to car hire and residual values; integration of current or future acquisitions and establishment of joint ventures; succession planning; discovery of defects in railcars or services resulting in increased warranty costs or litigation; physical damage or product or service liability claims that exceed Greenbrier's insurance coverage; train derailments or other accidents or claims that could subject Greenbrier to legal claims; actions or inactions by various regulatory agencies including potential environmental remediation obligations or changing tank car or other railcar or railroad regulation; and issues arising from investigations of whistleblower complaints; all as may be discussed in more detail under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Forward Looking Statements" in Greenbrier's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017, Greenbrier's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2018, and Greenbrier's other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's opinions only as of the date hereof. Except as otherwise required by law, Greenbrier does not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net earnings attributable to Greenbrier and Adjusted diluted EPS are not financial measures under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These metrics are performance measurement tools commonly used by rail supply companies and Greenbrier. You should not consider these metrics in isolation or as a substitute for other financial statement data determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because these metrics are not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, the measures presented may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as Net earnings before Interest and foreign exchange, Income tax expense (benefit), Depreciation and amortization and excluding the impact associated with items we do not believe are indicative of our core business or which affect comparability. We believe the presentation of Adjusted 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.

Adjusted net earnings attributable to Greenbrier and Adjusted diluted EPS excludes the impact associated with items we do not believe are indicative of our core business or which affect comparability. We believe this assists in comparing our performance across reporting periods.

Reconciliation of common shares outstanding and diluted earnings per share

(1)

Restricted stock grants and restricted stock units that are considered participating securities, including some grants subject to certain performance criteria, are included in weighted average basic common shares outstanding when the Company is in a net earnings position. 

(2)

The dilutive effect of the 2018 Convertible notes was included as they were considered dilutive under the "if converted" method as further discussed below. The 2018 Convertible notes matured April 1, 2018.

(3)

Restricted stock units that are not considered participating securities and restricted stock units subject to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved, are included in Weighted average diluted shares outstanding when the Company is in a net earnings position.

Diluted EPS was calculated using the more dilutive of two approaches.  The first approach includes the dilutive effect, using the treasury stock method, associated with shares underlying the 2024 Convertible notes, restricted stock units that are not considered participating securities, and performance based restricted stock units that are subject to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved. The second approach supplements the first by including the "if converted" effect of the 2018 Convertible notes during the periods in which they were outstanding. Under the "if converted method" debt issuance and interest costs, both net of tax, associated with the convertible notes are added back to net earnings and the share count is increased by the shares underlying the convertible notes.  The 2024 Convertible notes are included in the calculation of both approaches when the average stock price is greater than the applicable conversion price.
