a total of $260 million under existing
provisions of the credit agreement.
During 2011, the Company strengthened its balance sheet,
extended debt maturity dates, and lowered its interest
costs by $10 million per annum through the
issuance of 3 million shares of common stock raising
$63 million of net proceeds, the sale of
$230 million of 3.5% senior convertible notes
and retirement of $235 million 8â...oe senior
unsecured notes, and the refinancing of its North American
credit facility.
Discussion of Quarterly Results and Outlook
William A. Furman, president and chief executive
officer, said, "We ended the quarter and the year with
strong operating momentum, particularly in our manufacturing
segment where we successfully executed at high production
volumes. We continue to see strength in our end markets
across each of our business segments and our new railcar
backlog continued to grow in our fourth quarter. These
factors give us good visibility and confidence that we can
support higher new railcar production levels in fiscal 2012.
We believe our industry fundamentals are sound, and that
several forces are driving new railcar demand that are
uncoupled from the more uncertain economic and political
environments. Among these forces are stronger railroad
balance sheets, truck traffic diversion to rail, replacement
demand, and a growing strength in the US energy market, which
will continue to create increased demand for covered hopper
cars and tank cars."
Mark Rittenbaum, chief financial officer added,
"We achieved the key objectives we outlined for fiscal
2011. Firstly, we delivered 4,000 railcars for the quarter
and 9,400 railcars in the year, consistent with the
expectations we set. Secondly, we successfully ramped
production and opened new production lines, ensuring
sufficient capacity to meet the anticipated increase in
demand during the industry upturn in 2012 and beyond.
Thirdly, we improved operational efficiencies by lowering our
cost structure. Lastly, we strengthened our balance sheet and
liquidity, saving approximately $10 million in
annual pre-tax interest expense and enhancing our capital
base. This savings was achieved by raising additional equity
and refinancing a substantial portion of our debt at lower
interest rates."
Segment Details
The Manufacturing segment consists of marine and new railcar
production in Europe and North
America. Manufacturing segment revenue for the fourth
quarter was $305.6 million, compared to
$69.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.
This revenue increase was primarily due to higher railcar
deliveries, including the delivery of leased railcars for
syndication, which were produced in previous periods. This
was partially offset by a decline in marine barge activity
and a change in railcar product mix. Current quarter new
railcar deliveries totaled 4,000 units, compared to 700 units
in the prior comparable period. Manufacturing gross margin
for the fourth quarter was 9.9% of revenues, compared to
10.8% in the fourth quarter of 2010. The gross margin
decrease was primarily a result of a less favorable product
mix, partially offset by operating at higher production
rates.
The Wheel Services, Refurbishment & Parts segment, consisting
of a network of 38 locations, provides wheel services, and
repairs and refurbishes railcars and provides railcar parts
across North America. Revenue for this segment
in the current quarter was $119.3 million,
compared to $90.6 million in the fourth quarter
of 2010. Gross margin for the Wheel Services, Refurbishment &
Parts segment was 10.8% of revenues, compared to 10.4% of
revenues in the prior comparable period. The revenue and
gross margin increases were primarily the result of higher
sales volumes in wheels and repair, and metal scrapping
programs that were in effect for only a portion of the prior
comparable year.
The Leasing & Services segment includes results from the
Company-owned lease fleet of approximately 9,000 railcars and
from fleet management services provided for approximately
216,000 railcars. Revenue for this segment was $17.9
million for the quarter, compared to $18.7
million in the same quarter last year. Leasing &
Services' gross margin for the quarter was 43.7% of
revenue, compared to 48.1% of revenue in the same quarter
last year. The decrease from the prior year's fourth
quarter was primarily a result of certain non-recurring
items. Lease fleet utilization as of the end of the quarter
was 95.7%, compared to 96.8% as of May 31, 2011,
and 94.4% as of August 31, 2010.
Gains on disposition of equipment in the current quarter were
$2.2 million, compared to $2.5
million in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Selling and administrative costs were $22.1
million for the quarter, or 5.0% of revenues, versus
$19.2 million, or 10.7% of revenues, for the
same quarter last year. The increase is primarily due to
increased employee related costs, including restoration of
salary reductions implemented during the down turn and
increases in incentive compensation.
Interest and foreign exchange expense was $6.3
million for the quarter, compared to $10.9
million for the same period in 2010. The current
quarter benefited from lower interest rates from our recent
refinancings.
Business Outlook
Based on current business trends, management anticipates that
both revenues and Adjusted EBITDA will be significantly
higher in fiscal 2012, compared to fiscal 2011. The major
drivers for the year will be continued momentum across all
business segments, particularly our manufacturing segment, as
the new freight car market continues to rebound. New railcar
deliveries are expected to exceed 15,000 units for the year.
The Company has increased its production rates on existing
production lines and its capacity at its facilities in
Mexico. Currently, railcars are being produced
on eight production lines in North America, with
the planned flexibility to produce railcars on three
additional lines later in the fiscal year.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure under generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We define Adjusted
EBITDA as earnings (loss) attributable to Greenbrier before
special items, loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt,
interest and foreign exchange, income tax expense (benefit),
depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a
performance measurement tool commonly used by rail supply
companies and Greenbrier. You should not consider Adjusted
EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for other financial
statement data determined in accordance with GAAP. In
addition, because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of
financial performance under GAAP and is susceptible to
varying calculations, the Adjusted EBITDA measure presented
may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures used by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure under
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We
define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings attributable to
Greenbrier before special items, loss (gain) on
extinguishment of debt, interest and foreign exchange,
income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and
amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a performance
measurement tool commonly used by rail supply companies
and Greenbrier. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA
in isolation or as a substitute for other financial
statement data determined in accordance with GAAP. In
addition, because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of
financial performance under GAAP and is susceptible to
varying calculations, the Adjusted EBITDA measure
presented may differ from and may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures used by other
companies.
