Revenue Operating Margin % ^ (millions)
^: Manufacturing segment revenues and operating margin % presented above include an
estimate of revenue and profit, respectively, for railcars built for our lease fleet. Such revenues
and profit are based on an estimated fair market value of the leased railcars as if they had been
sold to a third party, less the cost to manufacture for operating margin %. Estimated revenues
related to railcars built for our lease fleet are eliminated in consolidation.
Broad manufacturing base allows ARI to be competitive and provide quality railcars and components

Exhibit A – Adj. EBITDA Reconciliation
EBITDA represents net earnings before income tax expense, interest expense (income) and depreciation of property, plant and equipment. The
Company believes EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating ARI’s operating performance compared to that of other companies in the same
industry. In addition, ARI’s management uses EBITDA to evaluate operating performance. The calculation of EBITDA eliminates the effects of
financing, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending. These items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to the
overall operating performance of a company’s business. EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). Accordingly, when analyzing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider EBITDA in
isolation or as a substitute for net earnings (loss), cash flows provided by operating activities or other statements of operations or cash flow data
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The calculation of EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to that of other similarly titled measures reported
by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before share based compensation expense (income) related to stock appreciation rights (SARs) and other
income related to our short-term investments. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s
operating performance, and therefore uses Adjusted EBITDA for that purpose. The Company’s SARs, which settle in cash, are revalued each period
based primarily upon changes in ARI’s stock price. Management believes that eliminating the expense (income) associated with share-based
compensation and income associated with short-term investments allows management and ARI’s investors to understand better the operating
results independent of financial changes caused by the fluctuating price and value of the Company’s common stock and short-term investments.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, when analyzing operating performance,
investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, cash flows provided by operating activities or other
statements of operations or cash flow data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not
necessarily comparable to that of other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
