Chicago, IL, February 19, 2013 — FreightCar America, Inc. (NASDAQ: RAIL) today reported results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012, with revenues of $116.6 million and a net loss of $1.0 million, or $(0.08) per diluted share. For the same quarter in 2011, the Company reported revenues of $187.1 million and net income of $8.5 million, or $0.71 per diluted share. Revenues were $160.6 million and net income was $4.8 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the third quarter of last year.
“2012 was a good year for FreightCar despite the fact that fourth quarter results were impacted by a decrease in coal car demand and product line change-over costs at both our manufacturing plants,” said Ed Whalen, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As we look forward, 2013 will be a challenging year for our traditional coal car business, but the long term need to replace the Eastern coal car fleet remains. In the near term, we will focus closely on the factors within our control, including improving production efficiency, improving the results of our services business and controlling costs throughout the Company. I am encouraged by the prospects for our non-coal railcar products and the value that our new Shoals facility will bring to our bottom line when operational,” Whalen concluded.
FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
In line with Company’s expectations, deliveries decreased to 1,308 railcars in the fourth quarter of 2012, which included 528 new railcars and 780 rebuilt railcars. This compares to 2,489 railcars delivered in the fourth quarter of 2011 and 1,618 railcars delivered in the third quarter of 2012. There were 473 units ordered in the fourth quarter of 2012. This compares to 4,481 units ordered in the fourth quarter of 2011 and 225 units ordered in the third quarter of 2012. Total manufacturing backlog was 2,881 units at December 31, 2012, compared to 8,303 units at December 31, 2011 and 3,716 units at September 30, 2012.
The Manufacturing segment had revenues of $109.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $179.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $152.5 million in the third quarter of 2012. Operating income for the Manufacturing segment was $6.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $16.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $13.9 million in the third quarter of 2012.
Revenues for the Services segment were $7.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $7.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $8.1 million in the third quarter of 2012. Services segment operating income was $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2012.
Corporate costs were $6.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to $7.6 million in the same quarter of 2011 and $6.6 million in the third quarter of 2012.
The Company’s income tax expense of $0.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 included a provision to adjust deferred tax balances due to enacted changes in certain states’ statutory tax rates and to reflect a reduction of the blended effective state rate.
Cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash as of December 31, 2012 increased to $155.2 million from $144.2 million as of September 30, 2012. The Company’s $30.0 million revolving credit facility remains undrawn.
Railcars under lease totaled $43.4 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $51.0 million at the end of the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in railcars under lease reflects sales of leased railcars.
FULL YEAR RESULTS
Revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 were $677.4 million compared to $487.0 million in 2011. Net income in 2012 was $19.1 million, or $1.60 per share, compared to net income of $4.9 million, or $0.41 per diluted share in 2011.
The Manufacturing segment revenues increased to $644.0 million in 2012 from $453.1 million in 2011. The increase in revenues reflects higher railcar deliveries and higher average revenue per car. Operating income in 2012 for the Manufacturing segment was $58.3 million, compared to $25.9 million in 2011. Railcar deliveries totaled 8,325 (6,484 new, 441 used and 1,400 rebuilt) for 2012, up 35% from 6,188 railcars delivered in 2011 (5,824 sold and 364 leased).
The Services segment had revenues of $33.4 million, down slightly from $33.9 million in 2011. Operating income for the Services segment was $2.1 million in 2012 compared to $3.7 million in 2011, reflecting lower repair volumes and unfavorable work and parts sales mix.
Corporate costs of $27.2 million for 2012 were $3.1 million higher than in 2011 due to increased consulting related expenses.
The Company’s effective tax rate was 41.9% for the full year 2012. The effective tax rate for 2011 was 6.7%, which included a $1.7 million benefit resulting from a change in statutory tax rates and a change in estimated state tax apportionment on deferred tax balances.
