Greenbrier Reports Second Quarter Results

Operating cash flow of $159 million

Continued strong fleet utilization of 98%

Increases quarterly dividend by 6% to $0.34 per share

The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (NYSE: GBX) ("Greenbrier"), a leading international supplier of equipment and services to global freight transportation markets, today reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2026.

Second Quarter Highlights

Strong operating cash flow of $159 million.
In Q2, new railcar orders for 2,900 units valued at $390 million and deliveries of 3,800 units, resulting in a new railcar backlog of 15,200 units with an estimated value of $2.1 billion as of February 28, 2026.
Board increased quarterly dividend by 6% to $0.34 per share, payable on May 11, 2026 to shareholders of record as of April 20, 2026, representing Greenbrier's 48th consecutive quarterly dividend.
Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier of $15 million, or $0.47 per diluted share.
EBITDA of $61 million, or 10% of revenue.

"Greenbrier delivered resilient second quarter results in a low-volume environment," said Lorie L. Tekorius, CEO and President. "Our integrated business model, supported by disciplined execution and strong cash generation, continued to drive performance. We further strengthened our liquidity and balance sheet, providing flexibility while customer commitments remain measured and market conditions continue to evolve."

Tekorius added, "Our focus remains on operational execution, cost discipline and improving our through-cycle performance across the business. The increase in our quarterly dividend reflects the Board's confidence in the strength of our business model, cash generation and long-term outlook. The higher dividend underscores the durability of Greenbrier's earnings, supported by an enhanced operating platform, strong liquidity, and a continued focus on sustained shareholder value."

Business Update & Outlook

Greenbrier updates fiscal 2026 guidance to reflect a more gradual production ramp-up resulting from a shift of deliveries into early fiscal 2027. This is driven by order timing rather than changes to underlying demand. The revised outlook also includes increased investment in the lease fleet, with double digit fleet growth expected in fiscal 2026 to grow recurring revenue.

Effective September 1, 2025, the Company changed its methodology for allocating revenue and expenses associated with syndication activity between the two reportable segments. Syndication activity is now being reflected in the Manufacturing segment. This change had no impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position and prior period segment results have been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

Supplemental Leasing Information

(In millions, except owned fleet, unaudited)

Greenbrier's leasing strategy provides an additional "go-to-market" element to Greenbrier's Commercial strategy of direct sales, partnerships with operating leasing companies, and origination of leases for syndication partners as well as providing a platform for further growth at scale. Investing in leasing assets also provides a recurring stream of revenue and tax-advantaged cash flows, however in the short-term it reduces Greenbrier's Manufacturing revenue and margin as a result of deferring revenue recognition.

During the April 2023 Investor Day, Greenbrier provided a long-term target to more than double recurring revenue from leasing and management fees by investing up to $300 million net annually for the next five years. Recurring revenue is defined as Leasing & Fleet Management revenue excluding the impact of syndication transactions.
