Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings Per Share | Note 14 — Earnings Per Share The shares used in the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per common share are reconciled as follows:
|  | Year Ended August 31, |
(In thousands) |  | 2025 |  |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
Weighted average basic common shares outstanding |  |  | 31,171 |  |  |  | 31,102 |  |  |  | 31,983 |
Dilutive effect of 2.875% Convertible notes, due 2024 1 |  | N/A |  |  |  | 345 |  |  |  | 824 |
Dilutive effect of 2.875% Convertible notes, due 2028 2 |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Dilutive effect of restricted stock units 3 |  |  | 968 |  |  |  | 916 |  |  |  | 992 |
Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding |  |  | 32,139 |  |  |  | 32,363 |  |  |  | 33,799 |
1 The 2.875% Convertible notes due 2024 were retired on February 1, 2024. 2 The dilutive effect of the 2.875% Convertible notes, due 2028 was excluded for the years ended August 31, 2025, 2024 and 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 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 EPS is computed by dividing Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier by weighted average basic common shares outstanding. For the years ended August 31, 2025, 2024, and 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.
