Greenbrier Reports Third Quarter Results

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 third fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2026.

Third Quarter Highlights

Aggregate gross margin percentage increased 230 basis points sequentially to 14.1%, driven by improved manufacturing margin.
Owned lease fleet grew to 20,600, up 23% sequentially.
Lease fleet utilization remained exceptionally strong at 99%.
Entered into a new, $425 million non-recourse term loan, with improved pricing and terms, to support continued lease fleet growth.
Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier were $19 million, or $0.60 per diluted share.
EBITDA was $69 million, or 12% of revenue.
New railcar orders for 2,200 units valued at $340 million and deliveries of 3,600 units, resulting in a new railcar backlog of 13,800 units with an estimated value of $2.0 billion as of May 31, 2026.
Board approved quarterly dividend of $0.34 per share, payable on August 6, 2026 to shareholders of record as of July 16, 2026, representing Greenbrier's 49th consecutive quarterly dividend.

"Greenbrier executed well in Q3, delivering solid results across both Leasing & Fleet Management and Manufacturing," said Lorie L. Tekorius, CEO and President. "The current freight railcar environment enhances the value of our growing lease fleet, supporting strong performance as reflected in the 99% utilization. Aggregate gross margin of 14.1% reflects the strength and stability of our operating platform."

Tekorius added, "We remain committed to disciplined operational execution, prudent cost management, and continuous improvement across the business. We are working closely with customers to assess deferred demand for railcars in North America. During the quarter, we continued our lease fleet investments, maintaining our commitment to thoughtful growth, recurring revenue and long-term shareholder value. These actions strengthen Greenbrier's earnings power and support the durability of our business."

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.
