DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS | DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS Wabash National Corporation (the “Company” or “Wabash”) was founded in 1985 in Lafayette, Indiana as a dry van trailer manufacturer. The Company designs and manufactures a diverse range of products, including dry freight and refrigerated trailers, platform trailers, bulk tank trailers, dry and refrigerated truck bodies, structural composite panels and products, trailer aerodynamic solutions, and specialty food grade processing equipment. This diversification has been achieved through acquisitions, organic growth, and product innovation. The One Wabash organizational transformation began during the first quarter of 2020 to better align resources and processes on serving the customer and to enable long-term growth. In connection with the substantial completion of the Company’s One Wabash strategic initiatives, including organizational and structural changes as well as portfolio rationalization, beginning in September 2021 the Company realigned its operating and reportable segments based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions, and evaluates operating performance. Based on this realignment, the Company has established two operating and reportable segments: Transportation Solutions (“TS”) and Parts & Services (“P&S”), and eliminated the historical Commercial Trailer Products (“CTP”), Diversified Products (“DPG”), and Final Mile Products (“FMP”) segments. Accordingly, historical segment operating information and disclosures have been revised to conform to the current period segment presentation. Refer to Note 19 for additional discussion regarding segments and to Note 5 for the impact thereof to the evaluation of recorded goodwill balances. As further described in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, on January 10, 2022, the Company completed its review and approval of its plan for rebranding as Wabash®. As part of the planning process, the Company assessed its usage of trade names and brand names in connection with the long-term growth strategy as One Wabash. Under the plan as approved, the Company no longer plans to use certain trade names or brand names, and will predominantly use Wabash (or variations thereof) to refer to the Company. Refer to Note 5 for additional details regarding non-cash impairment charges related to trade name and trademark intangible assets as a result of the Company’s rebranding.
