Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(In thousands, except for share and per share data and unless otherwise noted)

Note 1 – Description of the Business

FreightCar America, Inc. (“FreightCar” or the “Company”), operating primarily in North America through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, is a leading designer, producer and supplier of railroad freight cars including coal cars, bulk commodity cars, covered hopper cars, intermodal and non-intermodal flat cars, mill gondola cars, coil steel cars and boxcars, as well as railcar parts and components. The Company also specializes in railcar repairs, complete railcar rebody services and railcar conversions that repurpose idled rail assets back into revenue service. The Company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, with facilities in Johnstown, Pennsylvania; Shanghai, People’s Republic of China; and Castaños, Coahuila, Mexico (the “Castaños Facility”).

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FreightCar America, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The foregoing financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying interim financial information is unaudited; however, the Company believes the financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. The 2022 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2022. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified, where necessary, to conform to the current year presentation. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Note 3 – Revenue Recognition

The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenues by major source:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2023		2022			2023		2022
Railcar sales	$	58,407	$	82,017		$	220,752	$	224,089
Parts sales		3,340		2,927			9,613		9,231
Revenues from contracts with customers		61,747		84,944			230,365		233,320
Leasing revenues		147		799			1,124		2,445
Total revenues	$	61,894	$	85,743		$	231,489	$	235,765

Contract Balances and Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable payments for railcar sales are typically due within 5 to 10 business days of invoicing, while payments from parts sales are typically due within 30 to 45 business days of invoicing. The Company has not experienced significant historical credit losses.

Contract assets represent the Company’s rights to consideration for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which the terms of the contract do not permit billing at the reporting date. The Company had no contract assets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company may receive cash payments from customers in advance of the Company satisfying performance obligations under its sales contracts resulting in deferred revenue or customer deposits, which are considered contract liabilities. Deferred revenue and customer deposits are classified as either current or long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the related revenue. Deferred revenue and customer deposits are included in customer deposits, other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and were $19,644 and $219 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

9

Performance Obligations

The Company is electing not to disclose the value of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligation with a duration of one year or less as permitted by ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company had remaining unsatisfied performance obligations as of September 30, 2023 with expected duration of greater than one year of $14,850.

Note 4 – Segment Information

The Company’s operations consist of two operating segments, Manufacturing and Parts, and one reportable segment, Manufacturing. The Company’s Manufacturing segment includes new railcar manufacturing, railcar leasing and major railcar conversions and rebuilds. The Company’s Parts operating segment is not significant for reporting purposes and has been combined with corporate and other non-operating activities as Corporate and Other.

Segment operating income is an internal performance measure used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker to assess the performance of each segment in a given period. Segment operating income includes all external revenues attributable to the segments as well as operating costs and income that management believes are directly attributable to the current production of goods and services. The Company’s internal management reporting package does not include interest revenue, interest expense or income taxes allocated to individual segments and these items are not considered as a component of segment operating income. Segment assets represent operating assets and exclude intersegment accounts, deferred tax assets and income tax receivables. The Company does not allocate cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to its operating segments as the Company’s treasury function is managed at the corporate level. Intersegment revenues were not material in any period presented.

Credit Agreement

In October 2020, the Company entered into a $40,000 Credit Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as guarantor, FreightCar North America, LLC (“Borrower” and together with the Company and certain other subsidiary guarantors, collectively, the “Loan Parties”), CO Finance LVS VI LLC, as lender (the “Lender”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as disbursing agent and collateral agent (“Agent”). The $40,000 term loan under the Credit Agreement closed and was funded on November 24, 2020 (the “Closing Date”). The Company incurred $2,872 in deferred financing costs that are presented as a reduction of the long-term debt balance and amortized to interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement.

12

The term loan outstanding under the Credit Agreement bears interest, at Borrower’s option and subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, at Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for each such interest rate set forth in the Credit Agreement.

In May 2021, the Loan Parties entered into an Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with Lender and the Agent, pursuant to which the principal amount of the Credit Agreement was increased by $16,000 to a total of $56,000 (the “Additional Loan”). The Additional Loan closed and was funded on May 17, 2021. The Company incurred $480 in deferred financing costs related to the Second Amendment which are presented as a reduction of the long-term debt balance and amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the term of the Second Amendment.

Pursuant to the Second Amendment, in the event that the Additional Loan was not repaid in full by March 31, 2022, the Company was to issue to the Lender and/or a Lender affiliate, a warrant (the “2022 Warrant”) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 5% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis at the time the 2022 Warrant is exercised. The Company believed it was probable that the 2022 Warrant would be issued and recorded an additional Warrant liability of $7,351 during the third quarter of 2021. The 2022 Warrant was issued on April 4, 2022 with an exercise price of $0.01 and a term of ten (10) years. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the 2022 Warrant was exercisable for an aggregate of 1,894,047 and 1,473,726 shares of Common Stock, respectively with a per share exercise price of $0.01.

Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company was required to, among other things, i) obtain a term sheet for additional financing of no less than $15,000 by July 31, 2021 and ii) file a registration statement on Form S-3 registering Company securities by no later than August 31, 2021. The Company has met each of the aforementioned obligations. The Form S-3 registering Company securities was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2021 and became effective on September 9, 2021.

In July 2021, the Loan Parties entered into an Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with the Lender and the Agent, pursuant to which, among other things, Lender obtained a standby letter of credit (as may be amended from time to time, the “Third Amendment Letter of Credit”) from Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in the principal amount of $25,000 for the account of the Company and for the benefit of the Revolving Loan Lender (as defined below).

In December 2021, the Loan Parties entered into an Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) with the Lender and the Agent, pursuant to which the principal amount of the term loan credit facility was increased by $15,000 to a total of $71,000, with such additional $15,000 (the “Delayed Draw Loan”) to be funded, at the Borrower’s option, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent set forth in the Fourth Amendment. The Borrower had the option to draw on the Delayed Draw Loan through January 31, 2023. The Delayed Draw Loan, if funded, would bear the same interest rate as the original term loan.

In January 2023, the Company, certain other subsidiary guarantors of the Company, CO Finance LVS VI LLC and OC III LFE II LP (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) entered into Amendment No. 6 to Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”), with respect to the Credit Agreement. The Sixth Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to extend the date for the Company to draw on the Delayed Draw Loan of $15,000 from January 31, 2023 to March 3, 2023.

In February 2023, the Loan Parties entered into Amendment No. 7 to Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”), with respect to the Credit Agreement. The Seventh Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to extend the date for the Company to draw on the Delayed Draw Loan of $15,000 from March 3, 2023 to April 3, 2023 (“Delayed Draw Extension Deadline”). The Delayed Draw Loan expired as the Company did not draw on the Delayed Draw Loan by April 3, 2023.

In March 2023 prior to the Delayed Draw Extension Deadline, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company and OC III LFE II LP (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company issued 85,412 shares upon Closing of new non-convertible Series C Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) at an initial stated value of $1,000 per share. Upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement on May 22, 2023 (the “Closing”), the Purchaser received a detached warrant to purchase 1,636,313 shares of Common Stock of the Company, for an exercise price equal to $3.57 (the “2023 Warrant”). See Note 9 - Mezzanine Equity and 2023 Warrant.

In March 2023, contemporaneous with the execution of the Purchase Agreement and the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement (as defined below), the Loan Parties, the Purchaser, and the designated disbursing and collateral agent (the “Agent”) entered into Amendment No. 8 to Credit Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”), with respect to the Credit Agreement. The Eighth Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to provide the Company the option to pay all interest during the period between signing of the Purchase Agreement and the Closing (the “Pre-Closing Period”) in kind.

Upon the Closing, the Company settled $60,178 in-full all of the principal amount of the outstanding Term Loan Credit Agreement, together with all $1,727 accrued unpaid interest, fees, penalties, and other obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement through

13

the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of $17,772. Any excess proceeds are to be used for general corporate purposes.

Reimbursement Agreement

Pursuant to the Third Amendment, on July 30, 2021, the Company, the Lender, Alter Domus (US) LLC, as calculation agent, and the Agent entered into a reimbursement agreement (the “Reimbursement Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to reimburse the Agent, for the account of the Lender, in the event of any drawings under the Third Amendment Letter of Credit by the Revolving Loan Lender.

The Company shall make certain other payments as set forth below, so long as the Third Amendment Letter of Credit remains outstanding:

Letter of Credit Fee

The Company shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lender, an annual fee of $500, which shall be due and payable quarterly beginning on August 2, 2021, and every three months thereafter. In connection with the Closing, the Purchaser has agreed to extend the maturity date of the Third Amendment Letter of Credit for two (2) years and eliminate the Letter of Credit Fee paid by the Company.

Equity Fee

Every three months (the “Measurement Period”), commencing on August 6, 2021, the Company shall pay to the Lender or designee thereof a fee (the “Equity Fee”) payable in shares of Common Stock. The Equity Fee shall be calculated by dividing $1,000 by the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market for the ten (10) trading days ending on the last business day of the applicable Measurement Period. The Company may pay the Equity Fee in cash if certain conditions are met.

The Equity Fee shall no longer be paid once the Company has issued Equity Fees in an amount of Common Stock equal to 9.99% multiplied by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 30, 2021, rounded down to the nearest whole share of Common Stock, or 1,547,266 shares of Common Stock (the “Maximum Equity”). By March 2023, the Company had paid the Maximum Equity.

Cash Fee

The Company shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lender or a designee thereof a cash fee (the “Cash Fee”) which shall be due and payable in cash quarterly beginning on the date that the Maximum Equity has been issued and thereafter on the business day immediately succeeding the last business day of the applicable Measurement Period. The Cash Fee shall be equal to $1,000, provided that, in the quarter in which the Maximum Equity is issued, such fee shall be equitably reduced by the value of any Equity Fee issued by the Company that quarter. In connection with the Closing, the Purchaser has agreed to reduce the Cash Fee paid by the Company to $375 per quarter.

Amendment to Reimbursement Agreement

In March 2023, the Company, the Purchaser, the Agent, and the designated calculation agent entered into Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement (“First Amendment to Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties have agreed the Letter of Credit Fee, Equity Fee or Cash Fee that would otherwise be due and payable for the Pre-Closing Period will accrue and become payable and be paid on the date the Pre-Closing Period terminates. Upon Closing, the Company paid $280 in accordance with the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement.

Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement

In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”) with the Loan Parties (as defined therein), CO Finance LVS VI LLC (the “LC Provider”), and U.S. Bank, National Association, as disbursing agent and collateral agent. Amendment No. 2 amends and sets forth the terms of the Company’s continuing obligations to the LC Provider in connection with its outstanding standby letter of credit issued by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in the principal amount of $25.0 million for the account of the Company and for the benefit of Siena Lending Group LLC.

Warrants

14

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company issued to an affiliate of the Lender (the “Warrantholder”) a warrant (the “2020 Warrant”), pursuant to that certain warrant acquisition agreement, dated as of October 13, 2020, by and between the Company and the Lender, to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 23% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis at the time the 2020 Warrant is exercised (after giving effect to such issuance). The 2020 Warrant was issued on November 24, 2020 and is exercisable for a term of ten (10) years from the date of the issuance of the 2020 Warrant. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the 2020 Warrant was exercisable for an aggregate of 8,712,618 and 6,799,139 shares, respectively, of Common Stock with a per share exercise price of $0.01. The Company determined that the 2020 Warrant should be accounted for as a derivative instrument and classified as a liability on its Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily due to the instrument obligating the Company to settle the 2020 Warrant in a variable number of shares of Common Stock. The 2020 Warrant was recorded at fair value and is treated as a discount on the term loan. The discount on the associated debt is amortized over the life of the Credit Agreement and included in interest expense.

Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment and a warrant acquisition agreement, dated as of December 30, 2021, the Company issued to the Lender a warrant (the “2021 Warrant”) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 5% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis at the time the 2021 Warrant is exercised. The 2021 Warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 and a term of ten years. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the 2021 Warrant was exercisable for an aggregate of 1,894,047 and 1,473,726 shares of Common Stock, respectively with a per share exercise price of $0.01.

To the extent the Delayed Draw Loan is funded, the Company has agreed to issue to the Lender a warrant (the “3% Additional Warrant”) to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 3% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis at the time the 3% Additional Warrant is exercised (after giving effect to such issuance). The 3% Additional Warrant, if issued, will have an exercise price of $0.01 and a term of ten years. The 3% Additional Warrant was never issued as the Delayed Draw Loan expired undrawn on April 3, 2023.

The 2020 Warrant, 2021 Warrant, 2022 Warrant, and 2023 Warrant collectively are referred to herein as the “Warrant”. The following schedule shows the change in fair value of the Warrant as of September 30, 2023.

Warrant liability as of December 31, 2022	$	31,028
Warrant issued	$	3,544
Change in fair value		1,869
Warrant liability as of September 30, 2023	$	36,441

The change in fair value of the Warrant is reported on a separate line in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Siena Loan and Security Agreement

In October 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Siena Loan Agreement”) by and among the Company, as guarantor, and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (together with the Company, the “Revolving Loan Parties”), and Siena Lending Group LLC, as lender (“Revolving Loan Lender”). Pursuant to the Siena Loan Agreement, the Revolving Loan Lender provided an asset backed credit facility, in the maximum aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000 (the “Maximum Revolving Facility Amount”) consisting of revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”), subject to certain borrowing base requirements set forth in the Siena Loan Agreement.

In July 2021, the Revolving Loan Parties and the Revolving Loan Lender entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement”), which amended and restated the terms and conditions of the Siena Loan Agreement, including, among other things, an increase of $25,000 to the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount.

The Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement has a term ending on October 8, 2023. Revolving Loans outstanding under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement bear interest, subject to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, at an interest rate of 2% per annum in excess of the Base Rate (as defined in the Siena Loan Agreement).

In February 2022, the Revolving Loan Parties and the Revolving Loan Lender entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount was increased to $35,000.

Revolving Loans outstanding under the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement bear interest, subject to the provisions of the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, at a rate of 2% per annum in excess of the Base Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing,

15

Revolving Loans made in respect of Excess Availability (as defined in the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement) arising from clause (b) of the definition of “Borrowing Base” (as defined in the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement) bear interest, subject to the provisions of the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, at a rate of 1.5% per annum in excess of the Base Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement).

In September 2023, the Revolving Loan Parties entered into a Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, which amends the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated July 30, 2021, as amended by the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated February 23, 2022, and by the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 22, 2023, by and among the Revolving Loan Parties.

The Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, among other things, (i) extended the scheduled maturity date of the Siena Loan Agreement from October 8, 2023 to October 31, 2024, and (ii) increased the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount by $10.0 million to a total of $45.0 million, provided, however, that after giving effect to each Revolving Loan and each letter of credit made available to the Loan Parties, (A) the outstanding balance of all Revolving Loans and the Letter of Credit Balance (which is defined in the Siena Loan Agreement as the sum of (a) the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and (b) all interest, fees and costs due or, in Lender’s estimation, likely to become due in connection therewith) will not exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount and (y) the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Siena Loan Agreement, as amended by the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement), and (B) none of the other Loan Limits (as defined in the Siena Loan Agreement) for Revolving Loans will be exceeded.

The outstanding debt under the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement bears the same interest under the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement as described above. As of September 30, 2023, the interest rate on outstanding debt under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement was 10% and under the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement was 10.5%.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $31,062 in outstanding debt under the Siena Loan Agreement and remaining borrowing availability of $1,467. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $33,825 in outstanding debt under the Siena Loan Agreement and remaining borrowing availability of zero. The Company incurred $1,101 in deferred financing costs related to the Siena Loan Agreement during the fourth quarter of 2020, $1,037 in additional deferred financing costs related to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement during the third quarter of 2021, and $352 in additional deferred financing costs related to the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. The deferred financing costs are presented as an asset and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the Siena Loan Agreement.

M&T Credit Agreement

In April 2019, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“FreightCar Leasing Borrower”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “M&T Credit Agreement”) with M & T Bank, N.A., as lender (“M&T”), with a term that ended on April 16, 2021 (the “Term End”). Pursuant to the M&T Credit Agreement, M&T extended a revolving credit facility to FreightCar Leasing Borrower in an aggregate amount of up to $40,000 for the purpose of financing railcars to be leased to third parties. In connection with the M&T Credit Agreement, FreightCar Leasing LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and parent of FreightCar Leasing Borrower (“FreightCar Leasing Guarantor”), entered into a Guaranty Agreement (the “M&T Guaranty Agreement”) and Pledge Agreement with M&T.

The Loans outstanding under the M&T Credit Agreement are non-recourse to the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries (other than the assets of FreightCar Leasing Borrower and FreightCar Leasing Guarantor), and bear interest, accrued daily, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) or the Adjusted Base Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement).

Between August 2020 and April 2021, FreightCar Leasing Borrower received notices from M&T that various Events of Default (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) had occurred, including a notice in April 2021 that an Event of Default had occurred due to all amounts outstanding under the M&T Credit Agreement having not been paid by the Term End.

In December 2021 (the “Execution Date”), FreightCar Leasing Borrower, FreightCar Leasing Guarantor (together with FreightCar Leasing Borrower, the “Obligors”), the Company, FreightCar America Railcar Management, LLC (“FCA Management”), and M&T, entered into a Forbearance and Settlement Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with respect to the M&T Credit Agreement and its related Credit Documents (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement), as well as certain intercompany services agreements related thereto.

16

Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Obligors will continue to perform and comply with all of their performance obligations (as opposed to payment obligations) under certain provisions of the M&T Credit Agreement (primarily related to information obligations and the preservation of the collateral pledged by FreightCar Leasing Borrower to M&T pursuant to the M&T Security Agreement (the “Collateral”) and all the provisions of the M&T Security Agreement.

On December 1, 2023, or sooner if requested by the Lender (the “Turnover Date”), FreightCar Leasing Borrower shall execute and deliver to M&T documents required to deliver and assign to M&T all the leased railcars and related leases serving as Collateral for the M&T Credit Agreement, and the Company shall turn over to M&T certain rents in the amount of $715 that it had previously collected as servicing agent for FreightCar Leasing Borrower.

Upon the Turnover Date and the Obligors’ performance of their respective obligations under the Forbearance Agreement, including the delivery of certain Collateral to M&T upon the Turnover Date, all Obligations (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) shall be deemed satisfied in full, M&T shall no longer have any further claims against the Obligors under the Credit Documents and the Credit Documents shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect except for the provisions thereof that expressly survive termination.

On June 30, 2023, FreightCar Leasing Borrower paid an aggregate of $4,480 under the M&T Credit Agreement and with respect to the Forbearance Agreement. The payment consisted of proceeds from the sale to a third party of certain railcars and related leases, in lieu of turning over such railcars to M&T as contemplated by the Forbearance Agreement. As part of the payment terms, it was a condition that certain lease payments be made by the current lessees of the railcars to M&T in accordance with the Forbearance Agreement, which payments were timely made. Accordingly, FreightCar Leasing Borrower’s obligations under the M&T Credit Agreement are deemed satisfied in full and the M&T Credit Agreement and all other Credit Documents (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement), as well as the Forbearance Agreement, are terminated, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of $2,892.

As of December 31, 2022, FreightCar Leasing Borrower had $6,917 in outstanding debt under the M&T Credit Agreement, which was collateralized by leased railcars with a carrying value of $4,116.

Note 9 – Mezzanine Equity and 2023 Warrant

On March 23, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company and OC III LFE II LP (the “Purchaser”). On May 22, 2023, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement were consummated (the “Closing”), pursuant to which the Company issued 85,412 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), at an initial stated value of $1,000 per share, and the 2023 Warrant to purchase up to 1,636,313 shares of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.57. This transaction resulted in $2,591 of total issuance costs, of which $2,301 were allocated against the Series C Preferred Shares.

Preferred Stock

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company settled its Term Loan Credit Agreement through the issuance of 85,412 of its authorized Series C Preferred Stock to the Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement at an initial stated and fair value of $85,412. The Series C Preferred Stock was initially stated at fair value net of $2,591 issuance costs. The Company determined the Series C Preferred Stock should be classified as Mezzanine Equity (temporary equity outside of permanent equity) since a deemed liquidation event following a change of control may require redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock that is not solely within the control of the Company.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, a certificate of designation was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State in connection with the Closing (the “Certificate of Designation”) and contained rights, terms and provisions applicable to the Series C Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designation provided, among other things, that the Series C Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up. Dividends will accrue on the Series C Preferred Stock at a rate of 17.5% per annum (the “Dividend Rate”) on the Stated Value and Accrued Dividends (each defined in the Certificate of Designation), whether or not declared, and shall be cumulative. The Series C Preferred Stock will not participate in any dividends paid to the holders of shares of Common Stock.

The Company may redeem the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock at any time by payment of the Stated Value plus all accrued dividends (the “Redemption Price”). If the Company has not redeemed the Series C Preferred Stock on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing, the Dividend Rate will increase by 0.5% for every quarter thereafter until the Series C Preferred Stock is redeemed in full. The Purchaser has the right to request the Company redeem the Series C Preferred Stock at any time after the sixth anniversary of the Closing. If the Company does not redeem the Series C Preferred Stock within six months after receipt of a

17

redemption request from the Purchaser, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to certain limited voting rights as described in the Certificate of Designation.

The Series C Preferred Stock has similar characteristics of an “Increasing Rate Security” as described by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5Q, Increasing Rate Preferred Stock. As a result, and as the Company has the ability to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock before the increasing Dividend Rate occurs, the discount on Series C Preferred Stock is considered an unstated dividend cost that is amortized over the period preceding commencement of the increasing Dividend Rate using the effective interest method, by charging imputed dividend cost against retained earnings, or additional paid in capital in the absence of retained earnings, and increasing the carrying amount of the Series C Preferred Stock by a corresponding amount. Accordingly, the discount is amortized over four years using the effective yield method. The Company recognized discount amortization of $203 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

2023 Warrant

At the Closing, the Company issued a liability-classified warrant to purchase an aggregate of 1,636,313 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, exercisable for a term of ten years from the date of issuance with an exercise price of $3.57. The 2023 Warrant had a fair value of $3,544 upon issuance, calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. As of September 30, 2023, the 2023 Warrant had a fair value of $3,189.

Total stock-based compensation related to the Inducement Options was $81 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Note 12 – Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a qualified, defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) that was established to provide benefits to certain employees. The Plan is frozen and participants are no longer accruing benefits. Generally, contributions to the Plan were not less than the minimum amounts required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and not more than the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. The Plan assets are held by an independent trustee and consist primarily of equity and fixed income securities.

The components of net periodic benefit cost (benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, are as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

The Company made no contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company expects to make no further contributions to its pension plan.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company offered a one-time, lump sum pay-out option to its terminated vested participants under the Plan. The lump sum pay-out was funded by the assets of the Plan. As a result of the lump sum pay-out, the Company reduced its gross Plan liabilities by $536 and recognized a non-cash pre-tax pension settlement loss of $313 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The Company also maintains qualified defined contribution plans, which provide benefits to employees based on employee contributions and employee earnings with discretionary contributions allowed.

Note 13 – Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company’s operations and expenditures in its normal course of business are subject to opportunities and risks related to foreign currency fluctuations. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to protect against downward currency exposure by

19

hedging Mexican Peso denominated expenses against the risk of variability in foreign currency exchange rates between the Mexican Peso and the U.S. Dollar.

During the second and third quarters of 2023, the Company entered into forward contracts to hedge the Company’s anticipated and probable Mexican Peso denominated expenses against the foreign currency rate exposure. The contracts have terms between one and 12 months and require the Company to exchange currencies at agreed-upon rates at each settlement date. The counterparties to the contracts consist of a limited number of major domestic and international financial institutions. The Company classifies these contracts as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company does not have any non-designated derivatives.

The Company will assess the assumed effectiveness of the contracts at each reporting period. The foreign currency derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company records unrealized gains or losses related to changes in the fair value of the forward contracts in other comprehensive income as long as the contracts are assumed to be effective. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to the consolidated statement of operations when the hedged item impacts earnings or upon determination that the contract is no longer assumed to be effective.

The notional amounts of outstanding foreign currency derivatives are as follows:

	September 30,		December 31,
Notional Amount	2023		2022
Derivative instruments designated as hedges:
Foreign currency derivatives	$	9,143	$	-

The fair value of outstanding foreign currency derivatives designated as hedges are as follows:

	September 30,		December 31,
Fair Value	2023		2022
Prepaid expenses
Foreign currency derivatives	$	34	$	-

The pre-tax realized gain on foreign currency derivatives is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows:

Note 14 – Earnings Per Share

The net income (loss) available to common stockholders and weighted-average common shares outstanding are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023			2022			2023			2022
Numerator:
Net income (loss)		3,193			(17,806	)		(20,733	)		(29,114	)
Accretion of financing fees		(146	)		-			(203	)		-

Denominator:
Weighted average common shares outstanding		17,044,251			16,158,516			16,937,968			15,920,458
Issuance of Warrants		12,499,712			9,559,898			11,126,442			8,550,201
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic		29,543,963			25,718,414			28,064,410			24,470,659
Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted		29,543,963			25,718,414			28,064,410			24,470,659

The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. The Company’s participating securities are its grants of restricted stock which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. The Company allocates earnings between both classes; however, in periods of undistributed losses, they are only allocated to common shares as the unvested restricted stockholders do not contractually participate in losses of the Company. The Company computes basic earnings per share by dividing net income allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Warrants issued in connection with the Company's long-term debt were issued at a nominal exercise price and are considered outstanding at the date of issuance. The 2023 Warrant was issued out-of-the money and the Company will apply the treasury stock method to this warrant when computing earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and the assumed vesting of nonvested share awards. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 6,222,085 and 1,578,118 shares, respectively, were not included in the weighted average common shares outstanding calculation as they were anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 5,996,646 and 1,687,216 shares, respectively, were not included in the weighted average common shares outstanding calculation as they were antidilutive.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects. We have used the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “likely,” “unlikely,” “intend” and similar expressions in this report to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. However, forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties relate to, among other things, the cyclical nature of our business, the competitive nature of our industry, our reliance upon a small number of customers that represent a large percentage of our sales, the variable purchase patterns of our customers and the timing of completion, delivery and customer acceptance of orders, fluctuating costs of raw materials, including steel and aluminum, delays in the delivery of raw materials, the risk of lack of acceptance of our new railcar offerings, and other competitive factors. The factors listed above are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include additional factors that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict the impact of all of these factors on our business, financial condition or results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We expressly disclaim any duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, in order to reflect changes in circumstances or expectations or the occurrence of unanticipated events except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.

OVERVIEW

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

We are a diversified manufacturer of railcars and railcar components. We design and manufacture a broad variety of railcar types for transportation of bulk commodities and containerized freight products primarily in North America. We rebuild and convert railcars and sell forged, cast and fabricated parts for all of the railcars we produce, as well as those manufactured by others. We also lease freight cars. Our primary customers are financial institutions, railroads and shippers.

Total new orders received for railcars for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were 3,356 units, consisting of 3,166 new railcars and 190 rebuilt railcars, compared to orders for 2,240 units, consisting of 1,817 new railcars and 423 rebuilt railcars for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Total backlog of unfilled orders was 3,800 units at September 30, 2023, compared to 2,445 railcars as of December 31, 2022. The estimated sales value of the backlog was $452 million and $288 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The increase in the number of orders for new railcars for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period is a reflection of improvement in the railcar equipment market.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

Revenues

Our consolidated revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $61.9 million compared to $85.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Manufacturing segment revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $58.6 million compared to $82.8 million for the corresponding prior year period. The $24.2 million decrease in Manufacturing segment revenues was driven by a decrease in the volume of railcar units delivered. Railcar deliveries in the three months ended September 30, 2023 totaled 503 units, consisting of 382 new railcars and 121 rebuilt railcars, compared to 783 units in the same period of 2022, consisting of 483 new railcars and 300 rebuilt railcars.

Manufacturing segment gross profit was $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The $4.6 million increase in consolidated gross profit and $4.1 million increase in Manufacturing segment gross profit reflect a favorable price mix variance.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were $7.5 million compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The $0.4 million increase in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to an increase in recruiting and employee benefit expenses. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 were 1.0% of revenue, compared to 0.8% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The $0.5 million increase in Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily a result of the previously mentioned increase in employee procurement and benefit expenses in the current year.

Loss on Pension Settlement

Loss on pension settlement for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.3 million related to a one-time, lump sum pay-out. Loss on pension settlement for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $8.1 million related to an annuity purchase agreement.

Operating Income (Loss)

Our consolidated operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $1.4 million compared to a $10.7 million operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 driven primarily by the previously mentioned favorable price mix variance, decrease in pension settlement loss, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating income for the Manufacturing segment was $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to an operating income of $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, also reflecting the favorable price mix variance during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the 2022 period. Corporate and Other operating loss was $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $13.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The $7.7 million decrease in operating loss is primarily a result of the previously mentioned decrease in pension settlement loss, partially offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Income Taxes

Our income tax provision was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $0.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Net Income (Loss)

As a result of the changes and results discussed above, net income was $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net loss of $17.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Revenues

Our consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $231.5 million compared to $235.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Manufacturing segment revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $221.9 million compared to $226.5 million for the corresponding prior year period. The $4.6 million decrease in Manufacturing segment revenues was driven by a decrease in the volume of railcar units delivered. Railcar deliveries in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 totaled 2,001 units, consisting of 1,686 new railcars and 315 rebuilt railcars, compared to 2,034 units in the same

24

period of 2022, consisting of 1,331 new railcars and 703 rebuilt railcars. Corporate and Other revenues were $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $9.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Gross Profit

Our consolidated gross profit was $29.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $21.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Manufacturing segment gross profit was $26.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $18.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $8.5 million increase in consolidated gross profit and $7.4 million increase in Manufacturing segment gross profit reflect a favorable price mix variance.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $19.8 million compared to $21.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $2.2 million decrease in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to $1.8 million decrease in stock-based compensation expenses and $1.4 million decrease in legal expenses, partially offset by $0.7 million increase in consulting expenses and $0.2 million increase in Corporate related payroll expenses. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $2.1 million the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses were 0.9% of revenue for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $17.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $1.9 million decrease in Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily a result of the previously mentioned decreases in stock-based compensation expenses and legal expenses, offset by increases in consulting and Corporate payroll expenses.

Gain on Sale of Railcars Available for Lease

Gain on sale of railcars available for lease for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.6 million and represented the gain on sale of 424 leased railcars with a net book value of $7.7 million. We did not sell any railcars available for lease during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Loss on Pension Settlement

Loss on pension settlement for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.3 million related to a one-time, lump sum pay-out. Loss on pension settlement for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $8.1 million related to an annuity purchase agreement.

Operating Income (Loss)

Our consolidated operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $10.2 million compared to $8.8 million operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 driven primarily by the previously mentioned decrease in pension settlement loss and favorable price mix variance, as well as the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating income for the Manufacturing segment was $24.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to an operating income of $16.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, reflecting the favorable price mix variance and decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the 2022 period. Corporate and Other operating loss was $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $25.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $10.7 million decrease in operating loss is primarily a result of the previously mentioned decreases in pension settlement loss and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $14.9 million due to the settlement of the Term Loan Credit Agreement through the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock and the termination of the M&T Credit Agreement and Forbearance Agreement. There was no loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Income Taxes

Our income tax provision was $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Net Loss

25

As a result of the changes and results discussed above, net loss was $20.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $29.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.94 compared to $1.19 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

(In thousands, except for share and per share data and unless otherwise noted)

Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalent balances on hand and our credit and debt facilities outlined below. See Note 8 - Debt Financing and Revolving Credit Facilities for defined terms.

Preferred Share Issuance

In March 2023 prior to the Delayed Draw Extension Deadline, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company and OC III LFE II LP (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company issued 85,412 shares upon Closing of new non-convertible Series C Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) at an initial stated value of $1,000 per share. Upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement on May 22, 2023 (the “Closing”), the Purchaser received a detached warrant to purchase 1,636,313 shares of Common Stock of the Company, for an exercise price equal to $3.57 (the “2023 Warrant”). See Note 9 - Mezzanine Equity and 2023 Warrant.

Upon the Closing, the Company settled $60,178 in-full all of the principal amount of the outstanding Term Loan Credit Agreement, together with all $1,727 accrued unpaid interest, fees, penalties, and other obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement through the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of $17,772. Any excess proceeds are to be used for general corporate purposes.

Reimbursement Agreement

The Company shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lender or a designee thereof a cash fee (the “Cash Fee”) which shall be due and payable in cash quarterly beginning on the date that the Maximum Equity has been issued and thereafter on the business day immediately succeeding the last business day of the applicable Measurement Period. The Cash Fee shall be equal to $1,000, provided that, in the quarter in which the Maximum Equity is issued, such fee shall be equitably reduced by the value of any Equity Fee issued by the Company that quarter. In connection with the Closing, the Purchaser has agreed to reduce the Cash Fee paid by the Company to $375 per quarter.

Warrants

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company issued to an affiliate of the Lender (the “Warrantholder”) a warrant (the “2020 Warrant”), pursuant to that certain warrant acquisition agreement, dated as of October 13, 2020, by and between the Company and the Lender, to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 23% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis at the time the 2020 Warrant is exercised (after giving effect to such issuance). The 2020 Warrant was issued on November 24, 2020 and is exercisable for a term of ten (10) years from the date of the issuance of the 2020 Warrant. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the 2020 Warrant was exercisable for an aggregate of 8,712,618 and 6,799,139 shares, respectively, of Common Stock with a per share exercise price of $0.01. The Company determined that the 2020 Warrant should be accounted for as a derivative instrument and classified as a liability on its Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily due to the instrument obligating the Company to settle the 2020 Warrant in a variable number of shares of Common Stock. The 2020 Warrant was recorded at fair value and is treated as a discount on the term loan. The discount on the associated debt is amortized over the life of the Credit Agreement and included in interest expense.

Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment and a warrant acquisition agreement, dated as of December 30, 2021, the Company issued to the Lender a warrant (the “2021 Warrant”) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 5% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis at the time the 2021 Warrant is exercised. The 2021 Warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 and a term of ten years. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the 2021 Warrant was exercisable for an aggregate of 1,894,047 and 1,473,726 shares of Common Stock, respectively with a per share exercise price of $0.01.

The 2020 Warrant, 2021 Warrant, 2022 Warrant, and 2023 Warrant collectively are referred to herein as the “Warrant”. The following schedule shows the change in fair value of the Warrant as of September 30, 2023.

26

Warrant liability as of December 31, 2022	$	31,028
Warrant issued	$	3,544
Change in fair value		1,869
Warrant liability as of September 30, 2023	$	36,441

The change in fair value of the Warrant is reported on a separate line in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Siena Loan and Security Agreement

In October 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Siena Loan Agreement”) by and among the Company, as guarantor, and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (together with the Company, the “Revolving Loan Parties”), and Siena Lending Group LLC, as lender (“Revolving Loan Lender”). Pursuant to the Siena Loan Agreement, the Revolving Loan Lender provided an asset backed credit facility, in the maximum aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000 (the “Maximum Revolving Facility Amount”) consisting of revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”), subject to certain borrowing base requirements set forth in the Siena Loan Agreement.

In July 2021, the Revolving Loan Parties and the Revolving Loan Lender entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement”), which amended and restated the terms and conditions of the Siena Loan Agreement, including, among other things, an increase of $25,000 to the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount.

The Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement has a term ending on October 8, 2023. Revolving Loans outstanding under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement bear interest, subject to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, at an interest rate of 2% per annum in excess of the Base Rate (as defined in the Siena Loan Agreement).

In February 2022, the Revolving Loan Parties and the Revolving Loan Lender entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount was increased to $35,000.

Revolving Loans outstanding under the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement bear interest, subject to the provisions of the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, at a rate of 2% per annum in excess of the Base Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Revolving Loans made in respect of Excess Availability (as defined in the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement) arising from clause (b) of the definition of “Borrowing Base” (as defined in the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement) bear interest, subject to the provisions of the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, at a rate of 1.5% per annum in excess of the Base Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement).

In September 2023, the Revolving Loan Parties entered into a Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, which amends the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated July 30, 2021, as amended by the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated February 23, 2022, and by the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 22, 2023, by and among the Revolving Loan Parties.

The Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, among other things, (i) extended the scheduled maturity date of the Siena Loan Agreement from October 8, 2023 to October 31, 2024, and (ii) increased the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount by $10.0 million to a total of $45.0 million, provided, however, that after giving effect to each Revolving Loan and each letter of credit made available to the Loan Parties, (A) the outstanding balance of all Revolving Loans and the Letter of Credit Balance (which is defined in the Siena Loan Agreement as the sum of (a) the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and (b) all interest, fees and costs due or, in Lender’s estimation, likely to become due in connection therewith) will not exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount and (y) the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Siena Loan Agreement, as amended by the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement), and (B) none of the other Loan Limits (as defined in the Siena Loan Agreement) for Revolving Loans will be exceeded.

The outstanding debt under the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement bears the same interest under the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement as described above. As of September 30, 2023, the interest rate on outstanding debt under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement was 10% and under the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement was 10.5%.

27

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $31,062 in outstanding debt under the Siena Loan Agreement and remaining borrowing availability of $1,467. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $33,825 in outstanding debt under the Siena Loan Agreement and remaining borrowing availability of zero. The Company incurred $1,101 in deferred financing costs related to the Siena Loan Agreement during the fourth quarter of 2020, $1,037 in additional deferred financing costs related to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement during the third quarter of 2021, and $352 in additional deferred financing costs related to the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. The deferred financing costs are presented as an asset and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the Siena Loan Agreement.

Additional Liquidity Factors

Our restricted cash, restricted cash equivalents and restricted certificates of deposit balances were $5.1 million and $4.1 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Restricted deposits of $0.3 million as of each of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 relate to a customer deposit for the purchase of railcars. Restricted deposits of $3.6 million as of each of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are used to collateralize standby letters of credit with respect to performance guarantees. The standby letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2023 are a requirement as long as the performance guarantees are in place. Restricted deposits of $1.2 million as of September 30, 2023 and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2022 relate to an employee savings fund paid biannually in Mexico.

Based on our current level of operations and known changes in planned volume based on our backlog, we believe that our cash balances will be sufficient to meet our expected liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. Our long-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance and our ability to continue to meet financial covenants under our revolving credit facilities, our Credit Agreement and any other indebtedness and the availability of additional financing if needed. We may also require additional capital in the future to fund working capital as demand for railcars increases, payments for contractual obligations, organic growth opportunities, including new plant and equipment and development of railcars, joint ventures, international expansion and acquisitions, and these capital requirements could be substantial.

Based upon our operating performance and capital requirements, we may, from time to time, be required to raise additional funds through additional offerings of our equity or debt and through long-term borrowings. There can be no assurance that such offerings or long-term debt, if needed, will be available on terms attractive to us, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Our failure to raise capital if and when needed could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

	2023			2022
	(In thousands)
Net cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(26,410	)	$	(13,585	)
Investing activities		(615	)		(3,380	)
Financing activities		4,492			9,096
Total	$	(22,533	)	$	(7,869	)

Operating Activities. Our net cash used in operating activities reflects net loss adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash flows from operating activities are affected by several factors, including fluctuations in business volume, contract terms for billings and collections, the timing of collections on our contract receivables, processing of payroll and associated taxes, payments to our suppliers and other operating activities. As some of our customers accept delivery of new railcars in train-set quantities, variations in our sales lead to significant fluctuations in our operating profits and cash from operating activities.

Our net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $26.4 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $13.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 reflects changes in working capital, primarily an increase in inventory of $57.2 million related to inventory to be used in production of railcars to be delivered during the fourth quarter of 2023, offset by an increase of $19.6 million customer deposits during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Our net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 reflects changes in working capital, including an increase in accounts payable of $4.4 million and a decrease in VAT receivable of $24.6 million, all of which were partially offset by increases in both accounts receivable of $2.6 million and inventory of $30.1 million.

28

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.6 million and consisted of $8.4 million proceeds from the sale of railcars available for lease, net of selling costs, offset by capital expenditures of $9.0 million related to the expansion of the Castaños Facility. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $3.4 million and consisted of capital expenditures related to the expansion of the Castaños Facility.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $4.5 million which primarily included $13.3 million proceeds from the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock, net of issuance costs, partially offset by net repayments on revolving line of credit of $7.9 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $9.1 million which consisted of $84.4 million of borrowings on our revolving line of credit, offset by $75.2 million of repayments on our revolving line of credit.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures were $9.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $3.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We anticipate capital expenditures during 2023 to be in the range of $12.0 million to $13.0 million, primarily related to the expansion of the Castaños Facility.

Basis of Presentation

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FreightCar America, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The foregoing financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying interim financial information is unaudited; however, the Company believes the financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. The 2022 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2022. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified, where necessary, to conform to the current year presentation. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Contract Balances and Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable payments for railcar sales are typically due within 5 to 10 business days of invoicing, while payments from parts sales are typically due within 30 to 45 business days of invoicing. The Company has not experienced significant historical credit losses.

Contract assets represent the Company’s rights to consideration for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which the terms of the contract do not permit billing at the reporting date. The Company had no contract assets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company may receive cash payments from customers in advance of the Company satisfying performance obligations under its sales contracts resulting in deferred revenue or customer deposits, which are considered contract liabilities. Deferred revenue and customer deposits are classified as either current or long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the related revenue. Deferred revenue and customer deposits are included in customer deposits, other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and were $19,644 and $219 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Performance Obligations

The Company is electing not to disclose the value of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligation with a duration of one year or less as permitted by ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company had remaining unsatisfied performance obligations as of September 30, 2023 with expected duration of greater than one year of $14,850.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Note 4 – Segment Information

The Company’s operations consist of two operating segments, Manufacturing and Parts, and one reportable segment, Manufacturing. The Company’s Manufacturing segment includes new railcar manufacturing, railcar leasing and major railcar conversions and rebuilds. The Company’s Parts operating segment is not significant for reporting purposes and has been combined with corporate and other non-operating activities as Corporate and Other.

Segment operating income is an internal performance measure used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker to assess the performance of each segment in a given period. Segment operating income includes all external revenues attributable to the segments as well as operating costs and income that management believes are directly attributable to the current production of goods and services. The Company’s internal management reporting package does not include interest revenue, interest expense or income taxes allocated to individual segments and these items are not considered as a component of segment operating income. Segment assets represent operating assets and exclude intersegment accounts, deferred tax assets and income tax receivables. The Company does not allocate cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to its operating segments as the Company’s treasury function is managed at the corporate level. Intersegment revenues were not material in any period presented.

Credit Agreement

In October 2020, the Company entered into a $40,000 Credit Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as guarantor, FreightCar North America, LLC (“Borrower” and together with the Company and certain other subsidiary guarantors, collectively, the “Loan Parties”), CO Finance LVS VI LLC, as lender (the “Lender”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as disbursing agent and collateral agent (“Agent”). The $40,000 term loan under the Credit Agreement closed and was funded on November 24, 2020 (the “Closing Date”). The Company incurred $2,872 in deferred financing costs that are presented as a reduction of the long-term debt balance and amortized to interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement.

The term loan outstanding under the Credit Agreement bears interest, at Borrower’s option and subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, at Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for each such interest rate set forth in the Credit Agreement.

In May 2021, the Loan Parties entered into an Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with Lender and the Agent, pursuant to which the principal amount of the Credit Agreement was increased by $16,000 to a total of $56,000 (the “Additional Loan”). The Additional Loan closed and was funded on May 17, 2021. The Company incurred $480 in deferred financing costs related to the Second Amendment which are presented as a reduction of the long-term debt balance and amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the term of the Second Amendment.

Pursuant to the Second Amendment, in the event that the Additional Loan was not repaid in full by March 31, 2022, the Company was to issue to the Lender and/or a Lender affiliate, a warrant (the “2022 Warrant”) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 5% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis at the time the 2022 Warrant is exercised. The Company believed it was probable that the 2022 Warrant would be issued and recorded an additional Warrant liability of $7,351 during the third quarter of 2021. The 2022 Warrant was issued on April 4, 2022 with an exercise price of $0.01 and a term of ten (10) years. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the 2022 Warrant was exercisable for an aggregate of 1,894,047 and 1,473,726 shares of Common Stock, respectively with a per share exercise price of $0.01.

Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company was required to, among other things, i) obtain a term sheet for additional financing of no less than $15,000 by July 31, 2021 and ii) file a registration statement on Form S-3 registering Company securities by no later than August 31, 2021. The Company has met each of the aforementioned obligations. The Form S-3 registering Company securities was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2021 and became effective on September 9, 2021.

In July 2021, the Loan Parties entered into an Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) with the Lender and the Agent, pursuant to which, among other things, Lender obtained a standby letter of credit (as may be amended from time to time, the “Third Amendment Letter of Credit”) from Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in the principal amount of $25,000 for the account of the Company and for the benefit of the Revolving Loan Lender (as defined below).

In December 2021, the Loan Parties entered into an Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”) with the Lender and the Agent, pursuant to which the principal amount of the term loan credit facility was increased by $15,000 to a total of $71,000, with such additional $15,000 (the “Delayed Draw Loan”) to be funded, at the Borrower’s option, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent set forth in the Fourth Amendment. The Borrower had the option to draw on the Delayed Draw Loan through January 31, 2023. The Delayed Draw Loan, if funded, would bear the same interest rate as the original term loan.

In January 2023, the Company, certain other subsidiary guarantors of the Company, CO Finance LVS VI LLC and OC III LFE II LP (collectively, the “Loan Parties”) entered into Amendment No. 6 to Credit Agreement (the “Sixth Amendment”), with respect to the Credit Agreement. The Sixth Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to extend the date for the Company to draw on the Delayed Draw Loan of $15,000 from January 31, 2023 to March 3, 2023.

In February 2023, the Loan Parties entered into Amendment No. 7 to Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”), with respect to the Credit Agreement. The Seventh Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to extend the date for the Company to draw on the Delayed Draw Loan of $15,000 from March 3, 2023 to April 3, 2023 (“Delayed Draw Extension Deadline”). The Delayed Draw Loan expired as the Company did not draw on the Delayed Draw Loan by April 3, 2023.

In March 2023 prior to the Delayed Draw Extension Deadline, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company and OC III LFE II LP (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company issued 85,412 shares upon Closing of new non-convertible Series C Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.01 (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) at an initial stated value of $1,000 per share. Upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement on May 22, 2023 (the “Closing”), the Purchaser received a detached warrant to purchase 1,636,313 shares of Common Stock of the Company, for an exercise price equal to $3.57 (the “2023 Warrant”). See Note 9 - Mezzanine Equity and 2023 Warrant.

In March 2023, contemporaneous with the execution of the Purchase Agreement and the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement (as defined below), the Loan Parties, the Purchaser, and the designated disbursing and collateral agent (the “Agent”) entered into Amendment No. 8 to Credit Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”), with respect to the Credit Agreement. The Eighth Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to provide the Company the option to pay all interest during the period between signing of the Purchase Agreement and the Closing (the “Pre-Closing Period”) in kind.

Upon the Closing, the Company settled $60,178 in-full all of the principal amount of the outstanding Term Loan Credit Agreement, together with all $1,727 accrued unpaid interest, fees, penalties, and other obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement through

the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of $17,772. Any excess proceeds are to be used for general corporate purposes.

Reimbursement Agreement

Pursuant to the Third Amendment, on July 30, 2021, the Company, the Lender, Alter Domus (US) LLC, as calculation agent, and the Agent entered into a reimbursement agreement (the “Reimbursement Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to reimburse the Agent, for the account of the Lender, in the event of any drawings under the Third Amendment Letter of Credit by the Revolving Loan Lender.

The Company shall make certain other payments as set forth below, so long as the Third Amendment Letter of Credit remains outstanding:

Letter of Credit Fee

The Company shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lender, an annual fee of $500, which shall be due and payable quarterly beginning on August 2, 2021, and every three months thereafter. In connection with the Closing, the Purchaser has agreed to extend the maturity date of the Third Amendment Letter of Credit for two (2) years and eliminate the Letter of Credit Fee paid by the Company.

Equity Fee

Every three months (the “Measurement Period”), commencing on August 6, 2021, the Company shall pay to the Lender or designee thereof a fee (the “Equity Fee”) payable in shares of Common Stock. The Equity Fee shall be calculated by dividing $1,000 by the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market for the ten (10) trading days ending on the last business day of the applicable Measurement Period. The Company may pay the Equity Fee in cash if certain conditions are met.

The Equity Fee shall no longer be paid once the Company has issued Equity Fees in an amount of Common Stock equal to 9.99% multiplied by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 30, 2021, rounded down to the nearest whole share of Common Stock, or 1,547,266 shares of Common Stock (the “Maximum Equity”). By March 2023, the Company had paid the Maximum Equity.

Cash Fee

The Company shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lender or a designee thereof a cash fee (the “Cash Fee”) which shall be due and payable in cash quarterly beginning on the date that the Maximum Equity has been issued and thereafter on the business day immediately succeeding the last business day of the applicable Measurement Period. The Cash Fee shall be equal to $1,000, provided that, in the quarter in which the Maximum Equity is issued, such fee shall be equitably reduced by the value of any Equity Fee issued by the Company that quarter. In connection with the Closing, the Purchaser has agreed to reduce the Cash Fee paid by the Company to $375 per quarter.

Amendment to Reimbursement Agreement

In March 2023, the Company, the Purchaser, the Agent, and the designated calculation agent entered into Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement (“First Amendment to Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties have agreed the Letter of Credit Fee, Equity Fee or Cash Fee that would otherwise be due and payable for the Pre-Closing Period will accrue and become payable and be paid on the date the Pre-Closing Period terminates. Upon Closing, the Company paid $280 in accordance with the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement.

Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement

In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”) with the Loan Parties (as defined therein), CO Finance LVS VI LLC (the “LC Provider”), and U.S. Bank, National Association, as disbursing agent and collateral agent. Amendment No. 2 amends and sets forth the terms of the Company’s continuing obligations to the LC Provider in connection with its outstanding standby letter of credit issued by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in the principal amount of $25.0 million for the account of the Company and for the benefit of Siena Lending Group LLC.

Warrants

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company issued to an affiliate of the Lender (the “Warrantholder”) a warrant (the “2020 Warrant”), pursuant to that certain warrant acquisition agreement, dated as of October 13, 2020, by and between the Company and the Lender, to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 23% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis at the time the 2020 Warrant is exercised (after giving effect to such issuance). The 2020 Warrant was issued on November 24, 2020 and is exercisable for a term of ten (10) years from the date of the issuance of the 2020 Warrant. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the 2020 Warrant was exercisable for an aggregate of 8,712,618 and 6,799,139 shares, respectively, of Common Stock with a per share exercise price of $0.01. The Company determined that the 2020 Warrant should be accounted for as a derivative instrument and classified as a liability on its Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily due to the instrument obligating the Company to settle the 2020 Warrant in a variable number of shares of Common Stock. The 2020 Warrant was recorded at fair value and is treated as a discount on the term loan. The discount on the associated debt is amortized over the life of the Credit Agreement and included in interest expense.

Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment and a warrant acquisition agreement, dated as of December 30, 2021, the Company issued to the Lender a warrant (the “2021 Warrant”) to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 5% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis at the time the 2021 Warrant is exercised. The 2021 Warrant has an exercise price of $0.01 and a term of ten years. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the 2021 Warrant was exercisable for an aggregate of 1,894,047 and 1,473,726 shares of Common Stock, respectively with a per share exercise price of $0.01.

To the extent the Delayed Draw Loan is funded, the Company has agreed to issue to the Lender a warrant (the “3% Additional Warrant”) to purchase up to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 3% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis at the time the 3% Additional Warrant is exercised (after giving effect to such issuance). The 3% Additional Warrant, if issued, will have an exercise price of $0.01 and a term of ten years. The 3% Additional Warrant was never issued as the Delayed Draw Loan expired undrawn on April 3, 2023.

The 2020 Warrant, 2021 Warrant, 2022 Warrant, and 2023 Warrant collectively are referred to herein as the “Warrant”. The following schedule shows the change in fair value of the Warrant as of September 30, 2023.

Warrant liability as of December 31, 2022	$	31,028
Warrant issued	$	3,544
Change in fair value		1,869
Warrant liability as of September 30, 2023	$	36,441

The change in fair value of the Warrant is reported on a separate line in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Siena Loan and Security Agreement

In October 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Siena Loan Agreement”) by and among the Company, as guarantor, and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (together with the Company, the “Revolving Loan Parties”), and Siena Lending Group LLC, as lender (“Revolving Loan Lender”). Pursuant to the Siena Loan Agreement, the Revolving Loan Lender provided an asset backed credit facility, in the maximum aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000 (the “Maximum Revolving Facility Amount”) consisting of revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”), subject to certain borrowing base requirements set forth in the Siena Loan Agreement.

In July 2021, the Revolving Loan Parties and the Revolving Loan Lender entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement”), which amended and restated the terms and conditions of the Siena Loan Agreement, including, among other things, an increase of $25,000 to the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount.

The Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement has a term ending on October 8, 2023. Revolving Loans outstanding under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement bear interest, subject to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, at an interest rate of 2% per annum in excess of the Base Rate (as defined in the Siena Loan Agreement).

In February 2022, the Revolving Loan Parties and the Revolving Loan Lender entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount was increased to $35,000.

Revolving Loans outstanding under the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement bear interest, subject to the provisions of the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, at a rate of 2% per annum in excess of the Base Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing,

Revolving Loans made in respect of Excess Availability (as defined in the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement) arising from clause (b) of the definition of “Borrowing Base” (as defined in the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement) bear interest, subject to the provisions of the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, at a rate of 1.5% per annum in excess of the Base Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement).

In September 2023, the Revolving Loan Parties entered into a Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, which amends the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated July 30, 2021, as amended by the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated February 23, 2022, and by the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated May 22, 2023, by and among the Revolving Loan Parties.

The Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, among other things, (i) extended the scheduled maturity date of the Siena Loan Agreement from October 8, 2023 to October 31, 2024, and (ii) increased the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount by $10.0 million to a total of $45.0 million, provided, however, that after giving effect to each Revolving Loan and each letter of credit made available to the Loan Parties, (A) the outstanding balance of all Revolving Loans and the Letter of Credit Balance (which is defined in the Siena Loan Agreement as the sum of (a) the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and (b) all interest, fees and costs due or, in Lender’s estimation, likely to become due in connection therewith) will not exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount and (y) the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Siena Loan Agreement, as amended by the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement), and (B) none of the other Loan Limits (as defined in the Siena Loan Agreement) for Revolving Loans will be exceeded.

The outstanding debt under the Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement bears the same interest under the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement as described above. As of September 30, 2023, the interest rate on outstanding debt under the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement was 10% and under the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement was 10.5%.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $31,062 in outstanding debt under the Siena Loan Agreement and remaining borrowing availability of $1,467. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $33,825 in outstanding debt under the Siena Loan Agreement and remaining borrowing availability of zero. The Company incurred $1,101 in deferred financing costs related to the Siena Loan Agreement during the fourth quarter of 2020, $1,037 in additional deferred financing costs related to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement during the third quarter of 2021, and $352 in additional deferred financing costs related to the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. The deferred financing costs are presented as an asset and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the Siena Loan Agreement.

M&T Credit Agreement

In April 2019, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“FreightCar Leasing Borrower”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “M&T Credit Agreement”) with M & T Bank, N.A., as lender (“M&T”), with a term that ended on April 16, 2021 (the “Term End”). Pursuant to the M&T Credit Agreement, M&T extended a revolving credit facility to FreightCar Leasing Borrower in an aggregate amount of up to $40,000 for the purpose of financing railcars to be leased to third parties. In connection with the M&T Credit Agreement, FreightCar Leasing LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and parent of FreightCar Leasing Borrower (“FreightCar Leasing Guarantor”), entered into a Guaranty Agreement (the “M&T Guaranty Agreement”) and Pledge Agreement with M&T.

The Loans outstanding under the M&T Credit Agreement are non-recourse to the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries (other than the assets of FreightCar Leasing Borrower and FreightCar Leasing Guarantor), and bear interest, accrued daily, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) or the Adjusted Base Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement).

Between August 2020 and April 2021, FreightCar Leasing Borrower received notices from M&T that various Events of Default (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) had occurred, including a notice in April 2021 that an Event of Default had occurred due to all amounts outstanding under the M&T Credit Agreement having not been paid by the Term End.

In December 2021 (the “Execution Date”), FreightCar Leasing Borrower, FreightCar Leasing Guarantor (together with FreightCar Leasing Borrower, the “Obligors”), the Company, FreightCar America Railcar Management, LLC (“FCA Management”), and M&T, entered into a Forbearance and Settlement Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with respect to the M&T Credit Agreement and its related Credit Documents (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement), as well as certain intercompany services agreements related thereto.

Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the Obligors will continue to perform and comply with all of their performance obligations (as opposed to payment obligations) under certain provisions of the M&T Credit Agreement (primarily related to information obligations and the preservation of the collateral pledged by FreightCar Leasing Borrower to M&T pursuant to the M&T Security Agreement (the “Collateral”) and all the provisions of the M&T Security Agreement.

On December 1, 2023, or sooner if requested by the Lender (the “Turnover Date”), FreightCar Leasing Borrower shall execute and deliver to M&T documents required to deliver and assign to M&T all the leased railcars and related leases serving as Collateral for the M&T Credit Agreement, and the Company shall turn over to M&T certain rents in the amount of $715 that it had previously collected as servicing agent for FreightCar Leasing Borrower.

Upon the Turnover Date and the Obligors’ performance of their respective obligations under the Forbearance Agreement, including the delivery of certain Collateral to M&T upon the Turnover Date, all Obligations (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) shall be deemed satisfied in full, M&T shall no longer have any further claims against the Obligors under the Credit Documents and the Credit Documents shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect except for the provisions thereof that expressly survive termination.

On June 30, 2023, FreightCar Leasing Borrower paid an aggregate of $4,480 under the M&T Credit Agreement and with respect to the Forbearance Agreement. The payment consisted of proceeds from the sale to a third party of certain railcars and related leases, in lieu of turning over such railcars to M&T as contemplated by the Forbearance Agreement. As part of the payment terms, it was a condition that certain lease payments be made by the current lessees of the railcars to M&T in accordance with the Forbearance Agreement, which payments were timely made. Accordingly, FreightCar Leasing Borrower’s obligations under the M&T Credit Agreement are deemed satisfied in full and the M&T Credit Agreement and all other Credit Documents (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement), as well as the Forbearance Agreement, are terminated, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of $2,892.

As of December 31, 2022, FreightCar Leasing Borrower had $6,917 in outstanding debt under the M&T Credit Agreement, which was collateralized by leased railcars with a carrying value of $4,116.

Mezzanine Equity and 2023 Warrant

Equity [Abstract]

Mezzanine Equity and 2023 Warrant

Note 9 – Mezzanine Equity and 2023 Warrant

On March 23, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company and OC III LFE II LP (the “Purchaser”). On May 22, 2023, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement were consummated (the “Closing”), pursuant to which the Company issued 85,412 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), at an initial stated value of $1,000 per share, and the 2023 Warrant to purchase up to 1,636,313 shares of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.57. This transaction resulted in $2,591 of total issuance costs, of which $2,301 were allocated against the Series C Preferred Shares.

Preferred Stock

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company settled its Term Loan Credit Agreement through the issuance of 85,412 of its authorized Series C Preferred Stock to the Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement at an initial stated and fair value of $85,412. The Series C Preferred Stock was initially stated at fair value net of $2,591 issuance costs. The Company determined the Series C Preferred Stock should be classified as Mezzanine Equity (temporary equity outside of permanent equity) since a deemed liquidation event following a change of control may require redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock that is not solely within the control of the Company.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, a certificate of designation was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State in connection with the Closing (the “Certificate of Designation”) and contained rights, terms and provisions applicable to the Series C Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designation provided, among other things, that the Series C Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Common Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up. Dividends will accrue on the Series C Preferred Stock at a rate of 17.5% per annum (the “Dividend Rate”) on the Stated Value and Accrued Dividends (each defined in the Certificate of Designation), whether or not declared, and shall be cumulative. The Series C Preferred Stock will not participate in any dividends paid to the holders of shares of Common Stock.

The Company may redeem the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock at any time by payment of the Stated Value plus all accrued dividends (the “Redemption Price”). If the Company has not redeemed the Series C Preferred Stock on or prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing, the Dividend Rate will increase by 0.5% for every quarter thereafter until the Series C Preferred Stock is redeemed in full. The Purchaser has the right to request the Company redeem the Series C Preferred Stock at any time after the sixth anniversary of the Closing. If the Company does not redeem the Series C Preferred Stock within six months after receipt of a

redemption request from the Purchaser, the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to certain limited voting rights as described in the Certificate of Designation.

The Series C Preferred Stock has similar characteristics of an “Increasing Rate Security” as described by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5Q, Increasing Rate Preferred Stock. As a result, and as the Company has the ability to redeem the Series C Preferred Stock before the increasing Dividend Rate occurs, the discount on Series C Preferred Stock is considered an unstated dividend cost that is amortized over the period preceding commencement of the increasing Dividend Rate using the effective interest method, by charging imputed dividend cost against retained earnings, or additional paid in capital in the absence of retained earnings, and increasing the carrying amount of the Series C Preferred Stock by a corresponding amount. Accordingly, the discount is amortized over four years using the effective yield method.

Note 12 – Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a qualified, defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) that was established to provide benefits to certain employees. The Plan is frozen and participants are no longer accruing benefits. Generally, contributions to the Plan were not less than the minimum amounts required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and not more than the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. The Plan assets are held by an independent trustee and consist primarily of equity and fixed income securities.

Foreign Currency [Abstract]

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

Note 13 – Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company’s operations and expenditures in its normal course of business are subject to opportunities and risks related to foreign currency fluctuations. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to protect against downward currency exposure by

hedging Mexican Peso denominated expenses against the risk of variability in foreign currency exchange rates between the Mexican Peso and the U.S. Dollar.

During the second and third quarters of 2023, the Company entered into forward contracts to hedge the Company’s anticipated and probable Mexican Peso denominated expenses against the foreign currency rate exposure. The contracts have terms between one and 12 months and require the Company to exchange currencies at agreed-upon rates at each settlement date. The counterparties to the contracts consist of a limited number of major domestic and international financial institutions. The Company classifies these contracts as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company does not have any non-designated derivatives.

The Company will assess the assumed effectiveness of the contracts at each reporting period. The foreign currency derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company records unrealized gains or losses related to changes in the fair value of the forward contracts in other comprehensive income as long as the contracts are assumed to be effective. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to the consolidated statement of operations when the hedged item impacts earnings or upon determination that the contract is no longer assumed to be effective.

The notional amounts of outstanding foreign currency derivatives are as follows:

	September 30,		December 31,
Notional Amount	2023		2022
Derivative instruments designated as hedges:
Foreign currency derivatives	$	9,143	$	-

Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted		29,543,963			25,718,414			28,064,410			24,470,659

The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. The Company’s participating securities are its grants of restricted stock which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. The Company allocates earnings between both classes; however, in periods of undistributed losses, they are only allocated to common shares as the unvested restricted stockholders do not contractually participate in losses of the Company. The Company computes basic earnings per share by dividing net income allocated to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Warrants issued in connection with the Company's long-term debt were issued at a nominal exercise price and are considered outstanding at the date of issuance. The 2023 Warrant was issued out-of-the money and the Company will apply the treasury stock method to this warrant when computing earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and the assumed vesting of nonvested share awards. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 6,222,085 and 1,578,118 shares, respectively, were not included in the weighted average common shares outstanding calculation as they were anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 5,996,646 and 1,687,216 shares, respectively, were not included in the weighted average common shares outstanding calculation as they were antidilutive.
