•

Regular lease fleet optimization and monetization generated $155 million of proceeds and $35 million of gains.

•

Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier were $47 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, on revenue of nearly $3.0 billion.

•

In February, GBX Leasing completed issuance of $323 million of asset-backed notes with a blended interest rate of 2.9% and a weighted average life of six years.

•

Fixed the interest rate on most long-term floating rate debt to mitigate risk in current rising rate environment. No significant debt maturities until 2026.

•

EBITDA was $231 million, or 7.8% of revenue.

“Greenbrier’s fourth quarter performance marked a strong end to our fiscal year and demonstrates the value of our diverse business activities. Despite challenges throughout the year, including ongoing supply chain disruptions, increasing input costs and the war in Ukraine, our operations are building momentum. Greenbrier achieved a book-to-bill rate of 1.2x for fiscal 2022 on orders for 24,600 units during the fiscal year. Greenbrier also continued to execute our leasing strategy, increasing the number of railcars in the lease fleet in 2022 by nearly 40% to 12,200 units. Importantly, our expanded leasing platform is protected from interest rate risk since our leasing debt is non-recourse and at fixed interest rates. Our lease platform offers a strong source of liquidity, as demonstrated by robust syndication activity in 2022.” said Lorie Tekorius, Chief Executive Officer & President.

Tekorius concluded, “Our outlook for Greenbrier’s business is broadly optimistic for fiscal 2023 despite uncertain macroeconomic conditions. Our backlog of nearly 30,000 units, valued at $3.5 billion, coupled with our strong liquidity position, provides visibility and an opportunity to drive higher performance, building on the momentum in our business. We expect railcar utilization levels to remain high as scrapping continues to outpace new deliveries contributing to a strong North American leasing market for originations and lease renewals.”

Business Update & Outlook

Greenbrier’s strategy during the fourth fiscal quarter produced strong operating performance amid ongoing economic volatility. Based on current trends and production schedules, Greenbrier expects the following performance in fiscal 2023:

•

Deliveries of 22,000 – 24,000 units including approximately 1,000 units in Greenbrier-Maxion (Brazil)

•

Revenue at $3.2 – $3.6 billion

•

Capital expenditures at approximately $240 million in Leasing & Management Services, $80 million in Manufacturing and $10 million in Maintenance Services

•

Proceeds of equipment sales are expected to be approximately $100 million

•

Build and capitalize into the lease fleet approximately 2,000 units. These units are not included in the delivery guidance.

We will provide additional operating commentary during the earnings call.

SUPPLEMENTAL LEASING INFORMATION

(In millions, except owned and managed fleet, unaudited)

In April 2021, Greenbrier announced an enhanced leasing strategy that included the formation of GBX Leasing (GBXL), a joint venture with The Longwood Group and Greenbrier. Greenbrier owns approximately 95% of GBXL and consolidates it in Greenbrier’s financial statements in the Leasing & Management Services segment. GBXL 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 delivers predictable, tax-advantaged cash flows. Together, Greenbrier and GBX Leasing have nearly $900 million of railcar assets and expect to continue investing to grow over the next several years.

Our leasing operations observe Greenbrier’s established portfolio standards including working with customers with strong credit profiles, a diverse equipment mix and staggered maturity ladders. To mitigate the volatile interest rate environment, Greenbrier Leasing and GBX Leasing have fixed all floating rate debt. Investing in leasing assets reduces Greenbrier’s Manufacturing revenue and margin in the short-term but provides meaningful tax benefits, longer-term earnings and cash flow stability.

Greenbrier Reports Fourth Quarter and 2022 Fiscal Year Results *(Cont.)*				Page 13

“SAFE HARBOR” STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995: This press release may contain forward-looking statements, including statements that are not purely statements of historical fact. Greenbrier uses words, and variations of words, such as “believe,” “continue,” “enhance,” “estimate,” “expect,” “mitigate,” “momentum,” “opportunities,” “outlook,” “protected,” “provides,” “position,” “will,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about backlog and other orders, leasing performance, financing, future liquidity, cash flow, tax treatment, and other information regarding future performance and strategies and appear throughout this press release including in the headlines and the sections titled “Fourth Quarter Highlights,” “Fiscal Year 2022 Highlights,” “Business Update & Outlook,” and “Supplemental Leasing Information.” 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: an economic downturn and economic uncertainty; inflation (including rising energy prices, interest rates, wages and other escalators) and policy reactions thereto (including actions by central banks); disruptions in the supply of materials and components used in the production of our products; the war in Ukraine and related events; and the COVID-19 pandemic, variants thereof, governmental reaction thereto, and related economic disruptions (including, among other factors, operations and supply disruptions and labor shortages). Our backlog of railcar units and marine vessels and other orders not included in backlog are not necessarily indicative of future results of operations. Certain orders in backlog are subject to customary documentation which may not occur. 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 and subsequent reports on 10-Q. 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

EBITDA is not a financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This metric is a performance measurement tool used by rail supply companies and Greenbrier. You should not consider this metric in isolation or as a substitute for other financial statement data determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because this metric is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, the measure presented may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

We define EBITDA as Net earnings before Interest and foreign exchange, Income tax expense, Depreciation and amortization. We believe the presentation of 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.
