Insights

Wabtec's second quarter results showcase a strong performance, with GAAP diluted EPS up 54.7 and adjusted diluted EPS up 39.0. This growth is notable given the economic uncertainties that many companies face. The company's sales growth of 9.8 to $2.64 billion and a substantial increase in GAAP operating margin to 16.3 are impressive. Key drivers include higher sales in the Freight and Transit segments, with the Freight segment showing a remarkable 13.1 increase. Additionally, Wabtec's ability to generate operating cash flow of $235 million highlights strong operational efficiency.

Strategic Actions & Guidance: The decision to raise and tighten the 2024 adjusted EPS guidance to be between $7.20-$7.50 indicates confidence in ongoing performance. This is a positive signal for investors, suggesting sustained profitability and business stability. Additionally, returning $235 million to shareholders through repurchases and dividends underscores Wabtec's commitment to shareholder value.

Wabtec's second quarter results highlight the company's resilience and ability to capitalize on market opportunities. The Freight segment showed strong performance with a 13.1 sales growth, driven by substantial increases in Equipment and Components sales. This segment's GAAP operating margin rose to 20.4, an increase of 4.5, reflecting effective cost management and robust demand.

Transit Segment Analysis: Though the Transit segment's sales growth was modest at 2.0, the improvements in gross and operating margins (up 2.3 and 1.7 respectively) indicate a positive trend. This segment's performance, driven by higher aftermarket sales, suggests potential for growth as transportation infrastructure investments continue globally. Investors should monitor this segment for future opportunities.

Wabtec's strong financial performance is supported by its technological advancements and product quality. The company's ability to deliver reliable and productive solutions has resonated well with customers, driving demand. Technology plays a important role in the growth of both the Freight and Transit segments. Enhanced equipment and components have contributed significantly to the 36.4 and 17.5 growth in these areas respectively.

Innovation Focus: Wabtec's focus on innovation and strategic planning is evident in their annual review. By continuously refining their offerings and anticipating market needs, the company positions itself well to sustain long-term growth. The strategic planning initiatives mentioned by CEO Rafael Santana suggest an ongoing commitment to leveraging technology for competitive advantage.

Information about non-GAAP Financial Information and Forward-Looking Statements

Wabtec’s earnings release and 2024 financial guidance mentions certain non-GAAP financial performance measures, including adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating margin, adjusted gross margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted income from operations, adjusted interest and other expense, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share and operating cash flow conversion. Wabtec defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted by restructuring costs. Wabtec defines operating cash flow conversion as net cash provided by operating activities divided by net income plus depreciation and amortization including deferred debt cost amortization. While Wabtec believes these are useful supplemental measures for investors, they are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operations, or any other items calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures included in this release have inherent material limitations as performance measures because they add back certain expenses incurred by the Company to GAAP financial measures, resulting in those expenses not being taken into account in the applicable non-GAAP financial measure. Because not all companies use identical calculations, Wabtec’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Included in this release are reconciliation tables that provide details about how adjusted results relate to GAAP results.

This communication contains “forward-looking” statements as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than historical facts, including statements regarding Wabtec’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions; Wabtec’s expectations about future sales, earnings and cash conversion and statements regarding macro-economic conditions and evolving production and demand conditions; and any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements concern future circumstances and results and other statements that are not historical facts and are sometimes identified by the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “endeavor,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “overestimate,” “underestimate,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue,” “target” or other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are based upon current plans, estimates and expectations that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements. The inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such plans, estimates or expectations include, among others, (1) changes in general economic and/or industry specific conditions, including the impacts of tax and tariff programs, inflation, supply chain disruptions, foreign currency exchange, and industry consolidation; (2) changes in the financial condition or operating strategies of Wabtec’s customers; (3) unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from acquisitions and potential failure to realize synergies and other anticipated benefits of acquisitions, including as a result of integrating acquired targets into Wabtec; (4) inability to retain and hire key personnel; (5) evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes; (6) changes in the expected timing of projects; (7) a decrease in freight or passenger rail traffic; (8) an increase in manufacturing costs; (9) actions by third parties, including government agencies; (10) the impacts of epidemics, pandemics, or similar public health crises on the global economy and, in particular, our customers, suppliers and end-markets, (11) potential disruptions, instability, and volatility in global markets as a result of global military action, acts of terrorism or armed conflict, including from the imposition of economic sanctions on Russia resulting from the invasion of Ukraine; (12) cybersecurity and data protection risks and (13) other risk factors as detailed from time to time in Wabtec’s reports filed with the SEC, including Wabtec’s annual report on Form 10-K, periodic quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed with the SEC. The foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this communication.
