Segment Information

Note 17 — Segment Information

The Company operates in two reportable segments: Manufacturing and Leasing & Fleet Management. See Note 1 - Nature of Operations to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the change in the Company’s reportable segments effective September 1, 2024. Prior period segment results have been recast to reflect the Company’s new reportable segments.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company’s CODM is Greenbrier’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Segment earnings from operations is the measure of profit or loss used by the CODM. As part of the Company’s budgeting and forecasting process, the CODM uses Segment earnings from operations to allocate capital and resources to each segment and considers variances from budget, forecasts, and prior period results to assess current period performance for each segment. Segment earnings from operations includes all revenues, expenses, and net gains or losses on asset dispositions that are directly attributable to each segment. Corporate expenses include selling and administrative costs not directly attributable to the reportable segments due to the Company’s integrated business model and therefore are not allocated to Segment earnings from operations. The Company does not allocate Interest and foreign exchange, Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, or Income tax benefit (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 Consolidated Financial Statements.

The information in the following tables is derived directly from the segments’ internal financial reports used for corporate management purposes, which includes the significant expense categories that are regularly reviewed by the CODM.
