Greenbrier Reports First Quarter Results

New railcar orders for 5,600 units results in book-to-bill of 1.2x

Continued strong lease fleet utilization of 98%

GAAP EPS of ($0.51) driven by $24 million ($18 million after tax) non-cash impairment at Portland manufacturing operation

Adjusted EPS of $0.05, excluding impairment

Lake Oswego, Oregon, January 6, 2023 – 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 first fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2022.

First Quarter Highlights

• Diversified new railcar orders for 5,600 units valued at $700 million and deliveries of 4,800 units. Deliveries exclude 2,300 leased railcars produced onto the Balance Sheet to either be syndicated in future quarters or capitalized into the long-term lease fleet.

• New railcar backlog of 28,300 units with an estimated value of $3.4 billion as of November 30, 2022; excludes railcar conversion backlog of 1,800 units valued at $150 million.

• Liquidity of $477 million, including $263 million in cash and $214 million of available borrowing capacity at quarter end.

• Ceasing railcar manufacturing at Portland, Oregon facility following completion of current production commitment and undertaking a strategic evaluation of Marine business, resulting in a non-cash charge of $24 million related to the impairment of long-lived assets.

• Net loss attributable to Greenbrier for the quarter was $17 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, on revenue of $767 million. Results include $18 million charge ($0.56 per share), net of tax, related to the non-cash asset impairment.

• Adjusted net earnings attributable to Greenbrier was $1.6 million or $0.05 per diluted share.

• Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $49 million, or 6.4% of revenue.

• Board declares a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share, payable on February 16, 2023 to shareholders of record as of January 26, 2023 representing Greenbrier’s 35^th consecutive quarterly dividend.

• Board renews and extends $100 million share repurchase program through January 2025.

• Subsequent to quarter end, Greenbrier acquired the minority interest in the GBX Leasing joint venture and now owns 100% to further support our leasing strategy.

“Greenbrier’s business momentum continued in our fiscal first quarter, driven by a strong commercial performance that led to a book-to-bill of 1.2x. However, as new railcar production ramped, manufacturing margins were impacted by higher costs for outsourced parts, material shortages, supplier issues and lingering supply chain complications. We have been executing a plan to source key components internally, which we expect will be completed by the fourth quarter of this fiscal year. This will meaningfully reduce our input costs and provide us greater control over our supply chains. Likewise, concluding manufacturing activity at our Portland facility will drive higher performance by optimizing production capacity and reducing our cost structure.” said Lorie Tekorius, Chief Executive Officer & President.

“Additionally, Greenbrier’s recent agreement to purchase the outstanding interest in GBX Leasing demonstrates our commitment to grow the leasing business. We are developing our railcar leasing platform and increased the owned fleet to 14,100 units, or nearly 65% since April 2021. Rising lease rates and high fleet utilization support our confidence in the value of leasing to our overall business. Managing through near-term economic uncertainty, we remain focused on execution and are confident in our outlook as railcar demand and our production efficiency normalizes through the fiscal year. In the meantime, Greenbrier is well-positioned with strong liquidity and a $3.4 billion manufacturing backlog.”

Business Update & Outlook

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 $110 million

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

SUPPLEMENTAL LEASING INFORMATION

(In millions, except owned and managed 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 delivers predictable, tax-advantaged cash flows although it reduces Greenbrier’s Manufacturing revenue and margin in the short-term. Greenbrier expects to invest a minimum of $200 million per year to support this growth strategy.

Greenbrier Reports First Quarter Results (Cont.) Page 12

“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,” “build,” “commitment,” “confident,” “continue,” “deliver,” “demonstrate,” “drive,” “execute,” “expect,” “focus,” “increase,” “momentum,” “optimize,” “outlook,” “provide,” “position,” “reduce,” “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 “First Quarter Highlights,” a “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. 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 earnings per share (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 (loss) before Interest and foreign exchange, Income tax benefit (expense), Depreciation and amortization and 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 and other items. 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.
