Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this report, concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future performance, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to business trends and other information referred to under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" are forward-looking statements. We use words such “affect,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “backlog,” “be,” “believe,” “can,” “contingent,” “conclude,” “continue,” “could,” “due to,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “ongoing,” “opinion,” “optimize,” “plan,” “potential,” “schedule,” “trend,” “realize,” “result,” “seek,” “should,” “strategy,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

Note 1 – Interim Financial Statements

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Greenbrier or the Company) as of May 31, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024 and May 31, 2023 have been prepared to reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods indicated. All references to years refer to the fiscal years ended August 31st unless otherwise noted. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending August 31, 2024.

Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2023.

Management Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) requires judgment on the part of management to arrive at estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates may affect the amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities within the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are periodically evaluated and may be adjusted in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Share Repurchase Program – The Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase in aggregate up to $100.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The program may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without prior notice and currently has an expiration date of January 31, 2025. Under the share repurchase program, shares of common stock may be purchased from time to time on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of purchases is based upon market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors.

During the nine months ended May 31, 2024, the Company purchased a total of 38 thousand shares for $1.3 million. There were no share repurchases during the three months ended May 31, 2024. As of May 31, 2024, the amount remaining for repurchase under the share repurchase program was $45.1 million. During the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, the Company purchased a total of 1.2 million and 1.7 million shares for $32.0 million and $49.4 million, respectively.

Reclassifications - Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to the accompanying prior year Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 5 – Goodwill

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test during the third quarter. The Company utilized the qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its respective carrying value. This qualitative assessment may include, but is not limited to, reviewing factors such as macroeconomic considerations and industry indicators, financial performance, and cost estimates associated with a particular reporting unit. If, based on a review of qualitative factors, it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a quantitative impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Based on the qualitative assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit with goodwill exceeded its respective carrying value and a quantitative impairment test was not necessary; therefore, the Company concluded that goodwill was not impaired.

As of May 31, 2024, the goodwill balance was $128.0 million of which $85.4 million related to the Manufacturing segment and $42.6 million related to the Maintenance Services segment. The Manufacturing segment includes the North America Manufacturing reporting unit with a goodwill balance of $56.3 million and the Europe Manufacturing reporting unit with a goodwill balance of $29.1 million.

Asset-backed term notes

GBX Leasing 2022-1 LLC (GBXL I) was formed as a wholly owned special purpose entity of GBX Leasing to securitize the leasing assets of GBX Leasing. On November 20, 2023, GBXL I (Issuer) issued $178.5 million of term notes secured by a portfolio of railcars and associated operating leases and other assets, acquired and owned by GBXL I (the 2023 GBXL Notes). Issued debt of GBXL I as of May 31, 2024 includes the $323.3 million GBXL I Series 2022-1 Notes, as described in Note 3 of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the 2023 GBXL Notes, collectively the GBXL Notes. GBX Leasing used the net proceeds received from the issuance of the term notes to pay down the GBX Leasing warehouse credit facility.

The 2023 GBXL Notes include $158.9 million of GBXL I Series 2023-1 Class A Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (2023 Class A Notes) and $19.6 million of GBXL I Series 2023-1 Class B Secured Railcar Equipment Notes (2023 Class B Notes). The 2023 GBXL Notes bear interest at fixed rates of 6.42% and 7.28% for the 2023 Class A Notes and 2023 Class B Notes, respectively. The Company incurred $2.2 million in debt issuance costs, which will be amortized to interest expense through the expected repayment period. The 2023 GBXL Notes are payable monthly, with a legal maturity date of November 20, 2053 and an anticipated repayment date of November 20, 2030. While the legal maturity date is in 2053, the cash flows generated from the railcar assets will pay down the 2023 GBXL Notes in line with the agreement, which based on expected cash flow payments, would result in repayment in advance of the legal maturity date. If the principal amount of the 2023 GBXL Notes has not been repaid in full by the anticipated repayment date, then the Issuer will also be required to pay additional interest to the holders at a rate equal to 4.00% per annum.

The GBXL Notes are obligations of the Issuer only and are nonrecourse to Greenbrier. The GBXL Notes are subject to a Master Indenture between the Issuer and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, as supplemented by the Series 2022-1 Supplement dated February 9, 2022 and the Series 2023-1 Supplement dated November 20, 2023. The GBXL Notes may be subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of certain events of default.

(1) The dilutive effect of the 2.875% Convertible notes due 2024 was excluded for the nine months ended May 31, 2023 as they were considered anti-dilutive under the “if converted” method as further discussed below. These notes were retired on February 1, 2024.

(2) The dilutive effect of the 2.875% Convertible notes due 2028 was excluded for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024 and May 31, 2023 as the average stock price was less than the applicable conversion price and therefore was considered anti-dilutive. As these notes require cash settlement for the principal, only a premium is potentially dilutive under the "if converted" method as further discussed below.

(3) Restricted stock units 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.

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier by weighted average basic common shares outstanding.

For the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024 and May 31, 2023, diluted EPS was calculated using the more dilutive of two methods. The first method includes the dilutive effect, using the treasury stock method, associated with restricted stock units and performance based restricted stock units subject to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved. The second method supplements the first by also including the “if converted” effect of the 2.875% Convertible notes due 2024 during the periods in which they were outstanding and shares underlying the 2.875% Convertible notes due 2028, when there is a conversion premium. Under the “if converted” method, debt issuance and interest costs, both net of tax, associated with the convertible notes due 2024 are added back to net earnings and the share count is increased by the shares underlying the convertible notes.

Note 12 – Derivative Instruments

Foreign operations give rise to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts with established financial institutions are utilized to hedge a portion of that risk. Interest rate swap agreements are used to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on certain current and probable future debt. The Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges, and therefore the effective portion of unrealized gains and losses is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income.

At May 31, 2024 exchange rates, notional amounts of forward exchange contracts for the purchase of Polish Zlotys and the sale of Euros; and the purchase of Mexican Pesos and the sale of U.S. Dollars aggregated to $126.9 million. The fair value of the contracts is included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Accounts payable and accrued liabilities when in a loss position, or as Accounts receivable, net when in a gain position. As the contracts mature at various dates through March 2027, any such gain or loss remaining will be recognized in manufacturing revenue or cost of revenue along with the related transactions. In the event that the underlying transaction does not occur or does not occur in the period designated at the inception of the hedge, the amount classified in accumulated other comprehensive loss would be reclassified to the results of operations in Interest and foreign exchange at the time of occurrence. At May 31, 2024 exchange rates, approximately $2.8 million would be reclassified to revenue or cost of revenue in the next year.

At May 31, 2024, interest rate swap agreements maturing from June 2024 through January 2032 had notional amounts that aggregated to $659.7 million. The fair value of the contracts is included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities when in a loss position, or in Accounts receivable, net when in a gain position. As interest expense on the underlying debt is recognized, amounts corresponding to the interest rate swap are reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss and charged or credited to interest expense. At May 31, 2024 interest rates, approximately $13.9 million of gain would be reclassified to reduce interest expense in the next year.

Note 13 – Segment Information

The Company operates in three reportable segments: Manufacturing; Maintenance Services; and Leasing & Management Services.

Performance is evaluated based on Earnings (loss) from operations. Corporate includes selling and administrative costs not directly related to goods and services and certain costs that are intertwined among segments due to our integrated business model. The Company does not allocate Interest and foreign exchange or Income tax expense for either external or internal reporting purposes. Intersegment sales and transfers are valued as if the sales or transfers were to third parties. Related revenue and margin are eliminated in consolidation and therefore are not included in consolidated results in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The information in the following table is derived directly from the segments’ internal financial reports used for corporate management purposes.

Note 14 – Leases

Lessor

Equipment on operating leases is reported net of accumulated depreciation of $83.6 million and $68.0 million as of May 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023, respectively. Depreciation expense was $8.6 million and $24.8 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024, respectively and $6.9 million and $19.7 million for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023, respectively. In addition, certain railcar equipment leased-in by the Company on operating leases is subleased to customers under non-cancelable operating leases with lease terms ranging from one to approximately twelve years. Operating lease rental revenues included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024 was $30.4 million and $88.5 million, respectively, which included $4.5 million and $15.0 million, respectively, of revenue as a result of daily, monthly or car hire utilization arrangements. Operating lease rental revenues included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2023 was $23.1 million and $66.5 million, respectively, which included $4.0 million and $13.7 million, respectively, of revenue as a result of daily, monthly or car hire utilization arrangements.

Lessee

The Company leases railcars, real estate, and certain equipment under operating and, to a lesser extent, finance lease arrangements. As of and for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2024 and May 31, 2023, finance leases were not a material component of the Company's lease portfolio. The Company’s real estate and equipment leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than one year to 74 years, with some including options to extend up to 7 years. The Company recognizes a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use (ROU) asset based on the present value of lease payments. To determine the present value of lease payments, as most of its leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate is used to discount the lease payments based on information available at each lease commencement date. The Company gives consideration to its recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when estimating its incremental borrowing rate.

The components of operating lease costs were as follows:

Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies

Portland Harbor Superfund Site

The Company’s former Portland, Oregon manufacturing facility (the Portland Property) is located adjacent to the Willamette River. In December 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classified portions of the Willamette River bed known as the Portland Harbor, including the portion fronting the Company’s manufacturing facility, as a federal "National Priority List" or "Superfund" site due to sediment contamination (the Portland Harbor Site). The Company and more than 140 other parties have received a "General Notice" of potential liability from the EPA relating to the Portland Harbor Site. The letter advised the Company that it may be liable for the costs of investigation and remediation (which liability may be joint and several with other potentially responsible parties) as well as for natural resource damages resulting from releases of hazardous substances to the site. Ten private and public entities, including the Company (the Lower Willamette Group or LWG), signed an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) to perform a remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) of the Portland Harbor Site under EPA oversight, and several additional entities did not sign such consent, but nevertheless contributed financially to the effort. The EPA-mandated RI/FS was produced by the LWG and cost over $110 million during a 17-year period. The Company bore a percentage of the total costs incurred by the LWG in connection with the investigation. The Company’s aggregate expenditure during the 17-year period was not material. Some or all of any such outlay may be recoverable from other responsible parties. The EPA issued its Record of Decision (ROD) for the Portland Harbor Site on January 6, 2017 and accordingly on October 26, 2017, the AOC was terminated.

Separate from the process described above, which focused on the type of remediation to be performed at the Portland Harbor Site and the schedule for such remediation, 96 parties, including the State of Oregon and the federal government, are participating in a non-judicial, mediated allocation process to try to allocate costs associated with remediation of the Portland Harbor Site. The Company will continue to participate in the allocation process. Approximately 110 additional parties signed tolling agreements related to such allocations. On April 23, 2009, the Company and the other AOC signatories filed suit against 69 other parties due to a possible limitations period for some such claims; Arkema Inc. et al v. A & C Foundry Products, Inc. et al, U.S. District Court, District of Oregon, Case #3:09-cv-453-PK. All but 12 of these parties elected to sign tolling agreements and be dismissed without prejudice, and the case has been stayed by the court until January 14, 2025.

The EPA's January 6, 2017 ROD identifies a clean-up remedy that the EPA estimates will take 13 years of active remediation, followed by 30 years of monitoring with an estimated undiscounted cost of $1.7 billion. The EPA typically expects its cost estimates to be accurate within a range of -30% to +50%, but this ROD states that changes in costs are likely to occur. The EPA has identified several Sediment Decision Units within the ROD cleanup area. One of the units, RM9W, includes the nearshore area of the river sediments offshore of the Portland Property as well as downstream of the facility. It also includes a portion of the Portland Property's riverbank. The ROD does not break down total remediation costs by Sediment Decision Unit. The EPA requested that potentially responsible parties enter AOCs during 2019 agreeing to conduct remedial design studies. Some parties have signed AOCs, including one party with respect to RM9W which includes the area offshore of the Portland Property. The Company has not signed an AOC in connection with remedial design, but is assisting in funding a portion of the RM9W remedial design.

The ROD does not address responsibility for the costs of clean-up, nor does it allocate such costs among the potentially responsible parties. Responsibility for funding and implementing the EPA's selected cleanup remedy will be determined at an unspecified later date. Based on the investigation to date, the Company believes that it did not contribute in any material way to contaminants of concern in the river sediments or the damage of natural resources in the Portland Harbor Site and that the damage in the area of the Portland Harbor Site adjacent to the Portland Property precedes the Company’s ownership of the Portland Property. Because these environmental investigations are still underway, sufficient information is currently not available to determine the Company’s liability, if any, for the cost

22

of any required remediation or restoration of the Portland Harbor Site or to estimate a range of potential loss. Based on the results of the pending investigations and future assessments of natural resource damages, the Company may be required to incur costs associated with additional phases of investigation or remedial action, and may be liable for damages to natural resources.

On January 30, 2017 the Confederated Tribes and Bands of Yakama Nation sued 33 parties including the Company as well as the federal government and the State of Oregon for costs it incurred in assessing alleged natural resource damages to the Columbia River from contaminants deposited in Portland Harbor. Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation v. Air Liquide America Corp., et al., U.S. Court for the District of Oregon Case No. 3i17-CV-00164-SB. The complaint does not specify the amount of damages the plaintiff will seek. The case has been stayed until January 14, 2025.

Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Regulation of Portland Property

The Company entered into a Voluntary Cleanup Agreement with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in which the Company agreed to conduct an investigation of whether, and to what extent, past or present operations at the Portland Property may have released hazardous substances into the environment. The Company has also signed an Order on Consent with the DEQ to finalize the investigation of potential onsite sources of contamination that may have a release pathway to the Willamette River. The Company’s aggregate expenditure has not been material, however it could incur significant expenses for remediation. Some or all of any such outlay may be recoverable from other responsible parties.

Sale of Portland Property

The Company sold the Portland Property in May 2023, but remains potentially liable with respect to the above matters. Any of these matters could adversely affect the Company's business and Consolidated Financial Statements. However, any contamination or exacerbation of contamination that occurs after the sale of the property will be the liability of the current and future owners and operators of the Portland Property.

Other Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved as a defendant in litigation in the ordinary course of business, the outcomes of which cannot be predicted with certainty. While the ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings cannot be determined at this time, the Company believes that the resolution of pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of May 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding letters of credit aggregating to $5.9 million associated with performance guarantees, facility leases and workers compensation insurance.

Note 16 – Fair Value Measures

Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value, for this disclosure, is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 - observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments;

Level 2 - inputs, other than the quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments, which are observable, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 - unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Summary

We operate in three reportable segments: Manufacturing; Maintenance Services; and Leasing & Management Services. Our segments are operationally integrated. The Manufacturing segment, which currently operates from facilities in the U.S., Mexico, Poland, and Romania, produces freight railcars, tank cars, intermodal railcars and automotive railcar products. The Maintenance Services segment performs wheel and axle servicing, railcar maintenance and produces a variety of parts for the rail industry in North America. The Leasing & Management Services segment owns approximately 15,200 railcars as of May 31, 2024. We also provide management services for railroads, shippers, carriers, institutional investors and other leasing and transportation companies in North America.

Management identifies the following trends which continue to impact our business and our results for the nine months ended May 31, 2024. Overall, demand in the marketplace is steady for our products and services. Supply chain challenges, rail service congestion, inflation, high interest rates, and labor shortages continue to impact our business. Despite this operating environment, we accomplished the following during the nine months ended May 31, 2024:

•
Margin has improved $52.9 million and 16.8% compared to the same period last year driven by operating efficiencies and favorable product mix at our Manufacturing segment and higher rents associated with a larger fleet and improved lease rates in our Leasing and & Management Services segment.
•
Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier of $98.5 million reflects an increase of $60.8 million compared to the same period last year driven in part by operating efficiencies in connection with the ongoing optimization of our industrial footprint to support our strategic plan discussed below.
•
Obtained new railcar orders of 17,300 units valued at approximately $2.2 billion during the nine months ended May 31, 2024.

We believe our results highlight our continued focus on our strategic plan and we remain focused on increasing recurring revenue, expanding our aggregate gross margin, and raising our return on invested capital. Recurring revenue is defined as Leasing & Management Services revenue excluding the impact of syndication transactions.

Our backlog remains strong with railcar deliveries into 2027. Our railcar backlog was 29,400 units with an estimated value of $3.7 billion as of May 31, 2024. Our backlog includes nearly $740 million of railcars intended for syndication which are supported by lease agreements with external customers and may be syndicated to third parties or held in our lease fleet depending on a variety of factors. Approximately 2% of backlog units and estimated backlog value as of May 31, 2024 was associated with our Brazilian manufacturing operations which is accounted for under the equity method.

Our backlog of railcar units is not necessarily indicative of future results of operations. Certain orders in backlog are subject to customary documentation and completion of terms. Customers may attempt to cancel or modify orders in backlog. Historically, little variation has been experienced between the quantity ordered and the quantity actually delivered, though the timing of deliveries may be modified from time to time.

As described in Part I Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2023 the items described above may have a material negative impact on our business, liquidity, results of operations and stock price. Beyond these general observations, we are unable to predict when, how, or with what magnitude these items will impact our business.

Through our integrated business model, we provide a broad range of custom products and services in each of our segments, which have various selling prices and margins. The demand for and mix of products and services delivered changes from period to period, which causes fluctuations in our results of operations.

The 21.0% decrease in Revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2023 was primarily due to a 21.3% decrease in Manufacturing revenue and 43.1% decrease in Maintenance Services revenue. The decrease in Manufacturing revenue was primarily attributed to a 21.9% decrease in railcar deliveries during the three months ended May 31, 2024. The decrease in Maintenance Services revenue was primarily due to 27.6% lower volumes in our wheels business and a change in product mix during the three months ended May 31, 2024.

The 23.5% decrease in Cost of revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2023 was primarily due to a 22.4% decrease in Manufacturing cost of revenue and a 43.8% decrease in Maintenance Services cost of revenue. The decrease in Manufacturing cost of revenue was primarily attributed to a 21.9% decrease in railcar deliveries during the three months ended May 31, 2024. The decrease in Maintenance Services cost of revenue was primarily due to operating at lower volumes and a change in product mix during the three months ended May 31, 2024.

Margin as a percentage of revenue was 15.1% and 12.3% for the three months ended May 31, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. Margin as a percentage of revenue was positively impacted by favorable product mix within our Manufacturing segment during the three months ended May 31, 2024. This was partially offset by a 6.7% decrease in Leasing & Management Services margin as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2024 from higher sales of railcars that we purchased from third parties which have lower margin percentages.

The $12.6 million increase in Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier for the three months ended May 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2023 was primarily due to:

•
Prior year included $16.4 million in Asset impairment, disposal, and exit costs during the three months ended May 31, 2023.
•
$5.5 million increase in Net gain on disposition of equipment from higher sales of assets from our lease fleet during the three months ended May 31, 2024.
•
$4.0 million decrease in Selling and administrative expense for the three months ended May 31, 2024.

These were partially offset by the following:

•
$7.1 million increase in Income tax expense associated with higher pre-tax earnings during the three months ended May 31, 2024.
•
$4.3 million decrease in Margin for the three months ended May 31, 2024 primarily due to fewer railcar deliveries.

Our Leasing & Management Services segment generates revenue from leasing railcars from our lease fleet, providing various management services, syndication revenue associated with leases attached to new railcar sales, interim rent on leased railcars for syndication and the sale of railcars purchased from third parties with the intent to resell.

Leasing & Management Services Revenue increased $20.2 million or 44.9% for the three months ended May 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributed to a $8.9 million increase in the sale of railcars which we had purchased from third parties with the intent to resell and an increase of $5.3 million in rents associated with a larger fleet and improved lease rates during the three months ended May 31, 2024.

Leasing & Management Services Cost of revenue increased $10.5 million or 76.6% for the three months ended May 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher costs from an increase in the volume of railcars sold that we purchased from third parties and a larger fleet during the three months ended May 31, 2024.

Leasing & Management Services Margin as a percentage of revenue decreased 6.7% for the three months ended May 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2023. Margin as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2024 was negatively impacted by higher sales of railcars that we purchased from third parties which have lower margin percentages.

Leasing & Management Services Operating profit increased $14.6 million for the three months ended May 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributed to higher rents associated with a larger fleet and improved lease rates and $5.0 million higher Net gain on disposition of equipment during the three months ended May 31, 2024.

Selling and Administrative Expense

|  | Three months ended May 31, |  |  |  |  |  |  |
(in millions) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | Increase (Decrease) |  |  | % Change |
Selling and administrative expense |  | $ | 59.3 |  |  | $ | 63.3 |  |  | $ | (4.0 | ) |  |  | (6.3 | %)

Selling and administrative expense was $59.3 million or 7.2% of Revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2024 compared to $63.3 million or 6.1% of Revenue for the prior comparable period. The $4.0 million decrease was primarily attributed to lower short-term incentive compensation for the three months ended May 31, 2024 as a result of timing of financial performance when compared to the prior year.

Net Gain on Disposition of Equipment

Net gain on disposition of equipment typically includes the sale of assets from our lease fleet (Equipment on operating leases, net) and disposition of property, plant and equipment. Assets are periodically sold in the normal course of business in order to optimize our fleet and to manage risk and liquidity.

Net gain on disposition of equipment was $7.8 million for the three months ended May 31, 2024 compared to $2.3 million for the prior comparable period. The increase in Net gain on disposition of equipment was primarily attributed to higher sales of assets from our lease fleet during the three months ended May 31, 2024.

Asset Impairment, Disposal and Exit Costs

The three months ended May 31, 2023 included a loss on the sale of Gunderson Marine of $14.3 million and $2.1 million of severance costs related to ceasing rail production at the Gunderson Facility.

Interest and Foreign Exchange

Interest and foreign exchange expense was composed of the following:

|  | Three months ended May 31, |  |  |  |
(in millions) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | Increase (Decrease) |
Interest and foreign exchange: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Interest and other expense |  | $ | 23.4 |  |  | $ | 20.0 |  |  | $ | 3.4 |
Foreign exchange loss |  |  | 1.3 |  |  |  | 2.8 |  |  |  | (1.5 | )
|  | $ | 24.7 |  |  | $ | 22.8 |  |  | $ | 1.9 |

The $1.9 million increase in Interest and foreign exchange expense for the three months ended May 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2023 was primarily attributed to an increase in interest expense from higher borrowings.

31

Income Tax

For the three months ended May 31, 2024, we had Income tax expense of $10.7 million on pre-tax income of $47.6 million for an effective tax rate of 22.5%. The effective tax rate primarily benefited from net favorable adjustments related to our foreign subsidiaries and U.S. tax credits.

For the three months ended May 31, 2023, we had Income tax expense of $3.6 million on a pre-tax income of $27.9 million for an effective tax rate of 12.9%. Tax expense included net favorable discrete items primarily related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates for our U.S. Dollar denominated foreign operations.

The provision for income taxes during interim quarterly reporting periods is based on our estimates of the effective tax rates for the full fiscal year and may be positively or negatively impacted by adjustments that are required to be reported in the quarter. The effective tax rate can fluctuate year-to-year due to changes in the mix of foreign and domestic pre-tax earnings. It can also fluctuate with changes in the proportion of pre-tax earnings attributable to our Mexican railcar manufacturing joint venture. The joint venture is treated as a partnership for tax purposes and, as a result, the partnership’s entire pre-tax earnings are included in earnings before income taxes and earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, whereas only our 50% share of the tax is included in Income tax expense.

Earnings From Unconsolidated Affiliates

Through unconsolidated affiliates we produce rail and industrial components and have an ownership stake in a railcar manufacturer in Brazil. We record the results from these unconsolidated affiliates on an after-tax basis.

Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates were $3.7 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended May 31, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The increase was primarily related to $2.4 million in higher earnings at our Brazil operations for the three months ended May 31, 2024.

Noncontrolling Interest

Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest was $6.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2024 compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended May 31, 2023. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest primarily represents our joint venture partner's share in the results of operations of our Mexican railcar manufacturing joint ventures, adjusted for intercompany sales, and our European partner’s share of the results of our European operations.

Through our integrated business model, we provide a broad range of custom products and services in each of our segments, which have various selling prices and margins. The demand for and mix of products and services delivered changes from period to period, which causes fluctuations in our results of operations.

The 14.9% decrease in Revenue for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2023 was primarily due to a 15.6% decrease in Manufacturing revenue. The decrease in Manufacturing revenue was primarily attributed to a 14.4% decrease in railcar deliveries during the nine months ended May 31, 2024.

The 18.7% decrease in Cost of revenue for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2023 was primarily due to a 18.5% decrease in Manufacturing cost of revenue. The decrease in Manufacturing cost of revenue was primarily attributed to a 14.4% decrease in railcar deliveries during the nine months ended May 31, 2024.

Margin as a percentage of revenue was 14.7% and 10.7% for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. Margin as a percentage of revenue was positively impacted by an increase in Manufacturing margin from 7.8% to 10.9% primarily attributed to operating efficiencies and favorable product mix during the nine months ended May 31, 2024.

The $60.8 million increase in Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2023 was primarily due to the following:

•
$52.9 million increase in Margin for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 primarily due to operating efficiencies and a favorable product mix within our Manufacturing segment and an increase in rents associated with a larger fleet and improved lease rates in our Leasing & Management Services segment.
•
Prior year included $40.6 million in Asset impairment, disposal and exit costs for the nine months ended May 31, 2023 related to the sale and closure of our Gunderson Facility.

These were partially offset by the following:

•
$18.3 million increase in Income tax expense associated with higher pre-tax earnings during the nine months ended May 31, 2024.
•
$8.5 million increase in Interest and foreign exchange primarily attributed to an increase in interest expense from higher borrowings for the nine months ended May 31, 2024.

Our Leasing & Management Services segment generates revenue from leasing railcars from our lease fleet, providing various management services, syndication revenue associated with leases attached to new railcar sales, interim rent on leased railcars for syndication and the sale of railcars purchased from third parties with the intent to resell.

Leasing & Management Services Revenue increased $31.1 million or 23.1% for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributed to an increase of $14.9 million in rents associated with a larger fleet and improved lease rates, an $8.9 million increase in the sale of railcars which we had purchased from third parties with the intent to resell and $7.0 million higher interim rent on leased railcars for syndication during the nine months ended May 31, 2024.

Leasing & Management Services Cost of revenue increased $13.3 million or 32.4% for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher costs from an increase in the volume of railcars sold that we purchased from third parties and a larger fleet and during the nine months ended May 31, 2024.

Leasing & Management Services Margin as a percentage of revenue decreased 2.3% for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2023. Margin as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 was negatively impacted by higher sales of railcars that we purchased from third parties which have lower margin percentages.

Leasing & Management Services Operating profit increased $17.8 million or 21.7% for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2023.

Selling and administrative expense was $179.2 million or 7.2% of Revenue for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 compared to $175.7 million or 6.0% of Revenue for the prior comparable period. The $3.5 million increase was primarily attributed to an increase in employee related costs including higher long-term incentive compensation during the nine months ended May 31, 2024.

Net Gain on Disposition of Equipment

Net gain on disposition of equipment typically includes the sale of assets from our lease fleet (Equipment on operating leases, net) and disposition of property, plant and equipment. Assets are periodically sold in the normal course of business in order to optimize our fleet and to manage risk and liquidity.

Net gain on disposition of equipment was $12.6 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 compared to a gain of $15.2 million for the prior comparable period. The decrease in Net gain on disposition of equipment was primarily attributed to fewer sales of assets from our lease fleet during the nine months ended May 31, 2024.

Asset Impairment, Disposal and Exit Costs

The nine months ended May 31, 2023 included an impairment of long-lived assets of $24.2 million related to our change in the future use of our Gunderson Facility, loss on the sale of Gunderson Marine of $14.3 million and $2.1 million of severance associated with ceasing rail production at the Gunderson Facility.

The $8.5 million increase in Interest and foreign exchange expense for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2023 was primarily attributed to an increase in interest expense from higher borrowings and interest rates.

Income Tax

For the nine months ended May 31, 2024, we had Income tax expense of $30.0 million on pre-tax income of $128.2 million for an effective tax rate of 23.4%. The effective tax rate benefited from net favorable discrete items related to U.S. tax credits and changes in foreign currency exchange rates for our U.S. Dollar denominated foreign operations.

For the nine months ended May 31, 2023, we had Income tax expense of $11.7 million on pre-tax income of $49.3 million for an effective tax rate of 23.7%. Tax expense included net favorable discrete items primarily related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates for our U.S. Dollar denominated foreign operations.

The provision for income taxes during interim quarterly reporting periods is based on our estimates of the effective tax rates for the full fiscal year and may be positively or negatively impacted by adjustments that are required to be reported in the quarter. The effective tax rate can fluctuate year-to-year due to changes in the mix of foreign and

38

domestic pre-tax earnings. It can also fluctuate with changes in the proportion of pre-tax earnings attributable to our Mexican railcar manufacturing joint venture. The joint venture is treated as a partnership for tax purposes and, as a result, the partnership’s entire pre-tax earnings are included in earnings before income taxes and earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, whereas only our 50% share of the tax is included in Income tax expense.

Earnings From Unconsolidated Affiliates

Through unconsolidated affiliates we produce rail and industrial components and have an ownership stake in a railcar manufacturer in Brazil. We record the results from these unconsolidated affiliates on an after-tax basis.

Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates were $9.2 million and $8.6 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The increase was primarily related to $4.4 million higher earnings at our Brazil operations during the nine months ended May 31, 2024. This was partially offset by a $3.7 million lower earnings related to a temporarily idle facility during the nine months ended May 31, 2024.

Noncontrolling Interest

Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest was $8.9 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 compared to $8.5 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2023. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest primarily represents our joint venture partner's share in the results of operations of our Mexican railcar manufacturing joint ventures, adjusted for intercompany sales, and our European partner’s share of the results of our European operations.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

The $137.2 million increase in cash from operating activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2023 was primarily due to a $61.2 million increase in Net earnings and $56.2 million net change in working capital.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities primarily related to capital expenditures net of proceeds from the sale of assets and investment activity with our unconsolidated affiliates. Proceeds from the sale of assets primarily relate to fleet sales in our Leasing & Management Services segment. The $79.5 million increase in cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to a $70.8 million increase in capital expenditures compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2023.

|  | Nine months ended May 31, |
(in millions) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |

Capital expenditures primarily relate to additions to our lease fleet and on-going investments into the safety and productivity of our facilities. Proceeds from the sale of assets primarily relate to sales of railcars from our lease fleet within Leasing & Management Services. Assets from our lease fleet are periodically sold in the normal course of business to accommodate customer demand and to manage risk and liquidity. Proceeds from sales of assets are expected to be approximately $75 million for 2024.

Gross capital expenditures for 2024 are expected to be approximately $280 million for Leasing & Management Services, approximately $150 million for Manufacturing and approximately $15 million for Maintenance Services. Capital expenditures for 2024 primarily relate to additions to our lease fleet reflecting our leasing strategy and continued investments into the safety and productivity of our facilities.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

The $165.3 million increase in cash flow from financing activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2024 compared to the nine months ended May 31, 2023 was primarily attributed to a $71.6 million increase in net proceeds from revolving notes and $53.7 million higher proceeds from the issuance of notes payable, net of repayments. During the nine months ended May 31, 2024 we issued $178.5 million of asset backed securities and used proceeds to pay down $139.9 million of our GBX Leasing warehouse facility. We also drew $146.9 million on the GBX Leasing warehouse facility to grow the fleet. In February 2024, we paid $47.7 million to retire our 2024 Convertible Notes.

The program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares in any period.

During the nine months ended May 31, 2024, we purchased a total of 38 thousand shares for $1.3 million. As of May 31, 2024, the amount remaining for repurchase under the share repurchase program was $45.1 million. During the nine months ended May 31, 2023, we purchased a total of 1.7 million shares for $49.4 million.

Cash, Borrowing Availability and Credit Facilities

As of May 31, 2024, we had $271.6 million in Cash and cash equivalents and $333.7 million in available borrowings. The available balance to draw under committed credit facilities includes $223.7 million on the North American credit facility, $39.0 million on the European credit facilities and $71.0 million on the Mexican credit facilities.

Senior secured credit facilities aggregated to $1.4 billion as of May 31, 2024 which consisted of the following components:

Nonrecourse credit facilities

GBX Leasing – As of May 31, 2024, a $550.0 million non-recourse warehouse credit facility existed to support the operations of GBX Leasing. Advances under this facility bear interest at SOFR plus 1.85% plus 0.11% as a SOFR adjustment. Interest rate swap agreements cover approximately 99% of the outstanding balance to swap the floating interest rate to a fixed rate. The warehouse credit facility converts to a term loan in August 2025 and matures in August 2027.

Other credit facilities

North America – As of May 31, 2024, a $600.0 million revolving line of credit, maturing August 2026, secured by substantially all our U.S. assets not otherwise pledged as security for term loans or the warehouse credit facility, existed to provide working capital and interim financing of equipment, principally for our U.S. and Mexican operations. Advances under this North American credit facility bear interest at SOFR plus 1.50% plus 0.10% as a SOFR adjustment or Prime plus 0.50% depending on the type of borrowing. Available borrowings under the credit facility are generally based on defined levels of eligible inventory, receivables, property, plant and equipment and leased equipment, as well as total debt to consolidated capitalization and fixed charges coverage ratios.

Europe – As of May 31, 2024, lines of credit totaling $76.4 million secured by certain of our European assets, with variable rates that range from WIBOR plus 1.10% to WIBOR plus 1.45% and EURIBOR plus 1.90%, were available for working capital needs of our European manufacturing operations. The European lines of credit include $32.5 million which is guaranteed by us. European credit facilities are regularly renewed. Currently, these European credit facilities have maturities that range from July 2024 through November 2025.

Mexico – As of May 31, 2024, our Mexican railcar manufacturing operations had lines of credit totaling $196.0 million for working capital needs, $96.0 of which we and our joint venture partner have each guaranteed 50%. Advances under these facilities bear interest at variable rates that range from SOFR plus 2.22% to SOFR plus 4.25%. The Mexican credit facilities have maturities that range from February 2025 through January 2027.

Other Information

The revolving and operating lines of credit, along with notes payable, contain covenants with respect to us and our various subsidiaries, the most restrictive of which, among other things, limit our ability to: incur additional indebtedness or guarantees; pay dividends or repurchase stock; enter into financing leases; create liens; sell assets; engage in transactions with affiliates, including joint ventures and non U.S. subsidiaries, including but not limited to loans, advances, equity investments and guarantees; enter into mergers, consolidations or sales of substantially all our assets; and enter into new lines of business. The covenants also require certain maximum ratios of debt to total capitalization and minimum levels of fixed charges (interest plus rent) coverage. As of May 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all such restrictive covenants.

From time to time, we may seek to repurchase or otherwise retire or exchange securities, including outstanding convertible notes, borrowings and equity securities, and take other steps to reduce our debt, extend the maturities of our debt or otherwise improve our balance sheet. These actions may include open market repurchases, unsolicited or solicited privately negotiated transactions or other retirements, repurchases or exchanges. Such retirements, repurchases or exchanges of one note or security for another note or security (now or hereafter existing), if any, will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, prevailing market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our liquidity requirements and contractual restrictions, if applicable. The amounts involved in any such transactions may, individually or in the aggregate, be material and may involve all or a portion of a particular series of notes or other indebtedness which may reduce the float and impact the trading market of notes or other indebtedness which remain outstanding.

We have global operations that conduct business in their local currencies as well as other currencies. To mitigate the exposure to transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, we enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with established financial institutions to protect the margin on a portion of foreign currency sales in firm backlog.

To mitigate the exposure to changes in interest rates, we have managed a portion of our variable rate debt with interest rate swap agreements, effectively converting $659.7 million of variable rate debt to fixed rate debt as of May 31, 2024.

Given the strong credit standing of the counterparties, no provision has been made for credit loss due to counterparty non-performance.

We expect existing funds and cash generated from operations, together with proceeds from financing activities including borrowings under existing credit facilities and long-term financings, to be sufficient to fund expected debt repayments, working capital needs, planned capital expenditures, additional investments in our unconsolidated affiliates and dividends during the next twelve months.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires judgment on the part of management to arrive at estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates may affect the amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities within the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are periodically evaluated and may be adjusted in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Impairment of long-lived assets - We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, a recoverability test is performed based upon estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be realized over the remaining useful life of the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment would be measured as the difference between the fair value of the asset group and the carrying amount of the asset group.

An asset group is generally established by identifying the lowest level of cash flows generated by a group of assets that are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. Determining whether a long-lived asset is impaired requires various estimates and assumptions, including whether a triggering event has occurred, the identification of asset groups, and the determination of the fair value of real and personal property. Estimates of future cash flows are by nature highly uncertain and contemplate factors that may change over time.

Goodwill - We evaluate goodwill for possible impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of our reporting units exceed their fair value. When we perform a quantitative assessment, we exercise judgment to develop estimates of the fair values of our reporting units based on a weighting of income and market approaches. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows which incorporates forecasted revenues, long-term growth rate, gross margin percentages, operating expenses, and the use of discount rates. Under the market approach, we estimate the fair value based on observed market multiples for comparable businesses. If the fair value of a reporting unit is lower than its carrying value, an impairment to goodwill is recorded, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill in the reporting unit.

We make certain estimates and assumptions to determine our reporting units and whether the fair value of each reporting unit is greater than its respective carrying value. The above highlighted judgments contemplated estimates and effects of macroeconomic trends that are inherently uncertain. Changes in these estimates, which may include the effects of inflation and policy reactions thereto, increases in pricing of materials and components, changes in demand, or potential macroeconomic events may cause future assessment conclusions to differ.

In 2023, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test and determined that the estimated fair values of all reporting units with goodwill exceeded their carrying values. We performed a qualitative assessment for our annual goodwill impairment test during the third quarter of 2024 and determined that it was more likely than not that the fair values of all reporting units with goodwill exceeded their carrying values; therefore, we concluded that goodwill was not impaired. For further information, see Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income taxes - The asset and liability method is used to account for income taxes. We are required to estimate the timing of the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities, make assumptions about the future deductibility of deferred tax assets and assess deferred tax liabilities based on enacted law and tax rates for each tax jurisdiction to determine the amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary effects of differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial statement and income tax reporting purposes. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized. We recognize a tax benefit from uncertain tax positions in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by relevant tax authorities.

Our annual tax rate is based on our income, statutory tax rates, and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Judgment is required in determining our tax expense and in evaluating our tax positions, as tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by taxpayers and government taxing authorities. Our income tax rate is affected by the tax rates that apply to our foreign earnings and could be adversely

43

impacted by higher or lower earnings than anticipated in a particular jurisdiction. In addition to local country tax laws and regulations, our income tax rate depends on the extent that our foreign earnings are taxed by the U.S. through provisions such as the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) tax and base erosion and anti-abuse tax (BEAT). We review our deferred tax assets and tax positions quarterly and adjust the balances as new information becomes available.

Environmental costs - At times we may be involved in various proceedings related to environmental matters. We estimate future costs for known environmental remediation requirements and accrue for them when it is probable that we have incurred a liability and the related costs can be reasonably estimated based on currently available information. Adjustments to these liabilities are made when additional information becomes available that affects the estimated costs to study or remediate any environmental issues or when expenditures for which reserves are established are made.

Judgments used in determining if a liability is estimable are subjective and based on known facts and our historic experience. If further developments in or resolution of an environmental matter result in facts and circumstances that differ from those assumptions used to develop these reserves, the accrual for environmental remediation could be materially understated or overstated. Due to the uncertain nature of environmental matters, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings or, if we were found to be responsible or liable in any litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to us. For further information regarding our environmental costs, see Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We have global operations that conduct business in their local currencies as well as other currencies. To mitigate the exposure to transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of each entity, we enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to protect revenue or margin on a portion of forecasted foreign currency sales and expenses. At May 31, 2024 exchange rates, notional amounts of forward exchange contracts for the purchase of Polish Zlotys and the sale of Euros; and the purchase of Mexican Pesos and the sale of U.S. Dollars aggregated to $126.9 million. Because of the variety of currencies in which purchases and sales are transacted and the interaction between currency rates, it is not possible to predict the impact that a movement in a single foreign currency exchange rate would have on future operating results.

In addition to exposure to transaction gains or losses, we are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to the net asset position of our foreign subsidiaries. At May 31, 2024, net assets of foreign subsidiaries aggregated to $155.3 million and a 10% strengthening of the U.S. Dollar relative to the foreign currencies would result in a decrease in equity of $15.5 million, or 1.2% of Total equity - Greenbrier. This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the U.S. Dollar.

Interest Rate Risk

We have managed a portion of our variable rate debt with interest rate swap agreements, effectively converting $659.7 million of variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. Notwithstanding these interest rate swap agreements, we are still exposed to interest rate risk relating to our revolving debt and a portion of term debt, which are at variable rates. At May 31, 2024, 85% of our outstanding debt had fixed rates and 15% had variable rates. At May 31, 2024, a uniform increase by 10% in variable interest rates would result in approximately $1.4 million of additional annual interest expense.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023.

Ongoing Remediation of Previously Identified Material Weakness

The Company’s management, under the oversight of the Audit Committee, has designed and implemented corrective actions to remediate the control deficiencies that contributed to the material weakness. These remediation actions included:

•
Enhancing risk assessment and control design to address potential financial reporting risk related to system implementations;
•
Improving policy and procedure documentation related to IT general controls to better define roles and responsibilities, improve control owner understanding, and provide a basis for knowledge transfer upon personnel changes; and
•
Enhancing our education concerning the principles and requirements of each control, with a focus on those related to user access, change management, and segregation of duties over IT systems impacting financial reporting.

45

As we continue to evaluate and enhance our internal control over financial reporting, we may determine that additional measures to address the material weaknesses or adjustments to the remediation plan may be required. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except for the changes noted above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended May 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information

On July 2, 2024, the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. Executive Officer Severance Policy.

The policy provides severance benefits to executive officers upon a “qualifying termination” unrelated to a change in control (subject to participant’s execution and, to the extent applicable, non-revocation of a release). The severance benefits are equal to (1) a cash amount equal to a number of months of the executive officer’s base salary; (2) a prorated annual bonus for the year of termination (based on actual achievement of performance goals); (3) a cash amount equal to a number of months of health benefit premiums; and (4) outplacement services not to exceed $12,000. With respect to clauses (1), (3) and (4), the number of applicable months is 24 for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, 18 for the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operations Officer and Business Unit Presidents, and 12 for all other executive officers. For purposes of the policy, a “qualifying termination” means the termination of a participant’s employment by (1) the Company or any successor thereto without “cause” or (2) the participant for “good reason”, each as defined in the policy. The foregoing description of the policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the policy, a copy of which will be filed with the Form 10-K for the period ended August 31, 2024.
