- Net loss attributable to Greenbrier for the quarter was $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, on revenue of $636.4 million. Net loss includes $1.9 million, net of tax, ($0.06 per share) of integration related expenses from the American Railcar Industries (ARI) acquisition and $3.6 million, net of tax and noncontrolling interest, ($0.10 per share) of severance expenses.
- Adjusted net earnings attributable to Greenbrier for the quarter were $5.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, excluding $5.5 million, net of tax, ($0.16 per share) of integration and severance expenses.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $55.7 million, or 8.7% of revenue.

- Generated new railcar orders of 16,600 units, valued at $1.6 billion, with 40% originating internationally.
William A. Furman, Chairman & CEO commented, "Greenbrier continued to perform well during this period of weaker demand.  Critically, our diverse $2.4 billion backlog remains supported by strong customer commitments and provides clear visibility for several years. Entering fiscal 2021, we remain focused on maintaining our strong liquidity position. Greenbrier ended the quarter with more than $830 million of cash, an increase of nearly $100 million from the end of the third quarter. Net debt decreased by nearly $360 million since Greenbrier's fiscal second quarter. Our adjusted manufacturing footprint meets today's demand levels without constraining our ability to increase capacity as markets improve, allowing Greenbrier to maintain our presence in every region we serve around the world. Looking forward, we see early signs that demand will improve later in calendar 2021. Greenbrier is well-positioned to benefit from improving conditions in our core markets."
Business Update & Outlook
As we enter fiscal 2021, Greenbrier continues to execute on its COVID-19 response plan, and protecting our employees within the work environment remains our top priority. The strict protocols enacted and rapid response to clusters has allowed us to operate safely and efficiently throughout the world. Continued vigilance is required as community spread of COVID-19 is increasing in many areas where we operate. We are continuously working to maintain a low incident rate of COVID-19 among our employees by focusing on their health and enhancing the preventative and remedial actions of our rapid response teams across the company.
We also remain focused on preserving the near-term and longer-term financial health of Greenbrier in light of the economic consequences of the pandemic and an industry downturn. Maintaining cash flow and liquidity are essential components of Greenbrier's current operating strategy, and we have been very successful in this regard. We addressed our cost structure by reducing operating expenses and capital expenditures and are appropriately positioned for today's market environment. We closed 13 rail production lines in fiscal 2020 and are continuously adjusting capacity to align with an evolving demand outlook. We also reduced our global workforce by over 6,500 employees, or by about 40%, including both staff and production employees. Looking forward, while we remain focused on managing our cost base, we will be nimble and adjust capacity to ensure Greenbrier's ability to fully participate in an economic recovery. Coupled with a new railcar backlog valued at approximately $2.4 billion, we have preserved Greenbrier's ability to operate in a very challenging market environment.

(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 2.875% Convertible notes issued in February 2017 and the 2.25% Convertible notes issued in July 2019 were excluded for the periods in which they were outstanding as the average stock price was less than the applicable conversion price and therefore was anti-dilutive. |
(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 common shares outstanding when the Company is in a net earnings position. |

"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, and variations of words, such as "achieve," "align," "believe," "continue," "improve," "maintain," "target," "will," "working," and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about backlog, future liquidity and cash flow, spending reductions, available borrowing capacity, lower capital expenditures, expected trends as well as other information regarding future performance and strategies and appear throughout this press release including in the headlines and the sections "Fourth Quarter Highlights" and "Business Update & Outlook." 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. (1) We are unable to predict when, how, or with what magnitude COVID-19 governmental reaction to the pandemic, and related economic disruptions will negatively impact our business: we may be prevented from operating our facilities; the operations of our customers may be disrupted increasing the likelihood that our customers may attempt to delay, defer or cancel orders, or cease to operate as going concerns; the operations of our suppliers may be disrupted; our indebtedness may increase; we may breach the covenants in our credit agreement; the market price of our common stock may drop or remain volatile; we may incur significant employee health care costs under our self-insurance programs. The longer the pandemic continues, the more likely that negative impacts on our business will occur, some of which we cannot now foresee. (2) Our backlog of railcar units and marine vessels is not necessarily indicative of future results of operations. Certain orders in backlog are subject to customary documentation which may not occur. Customers may attempt to cancel or modify orders or refuse to accept and pay for products. The likelihood of cancellations, modifications, rejection and non-payment for our products generally increases during periods of market weakness. The timing of converting backlog to revenue is also materially impacted by our decision whether to lease railcars, sell railcars, or syndicate railcars with a lease attached to an investor. 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. 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.
Adjusted Financial Metric Definitions
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 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, 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.
