Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

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

Note 1 – Description of the Business

FreightCar America, Inc. (“FreightCar”) operates primarily in North America through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, JAC Operations, Inc., Johnstown America, LLC, Freight Car Services, Inc., JAIX Leasing Company (“JAIX”), FreightCar America Leasing, LLC, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC, FreightCar Roanoke, LLC, FreightCar Mauritius Ltd. (“Mauritius”), FreightCar Rail Services, LLC (“FCRS”), FreightCar Short Line, Inc.

The Company designs and builds high-quality railcars, including coal cars, bulk commodity cars, covered hopper cars, intermodal andnon-intermodal flat cars, mill gondola cars, coil steel cars and boxcars.boxcars as well as railcar conversions. The Company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and has facilities in the following locations: Cherokee, Alabama; Danville, Illinois; Grand Island, Nebraska; Johnstown, Pennsylvania; Roanoke, Virginia; and Shanghai, People’s Republic of China.China, and in Castaños, Mexico.

The Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries are wholly owned except for the Fasemex entities related to our Mexico operations. The Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are all Delaware corporations or Delaware limited liability companies except Mauritius, which is incorporated in Mauritius, and FreightCar (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd., which is organized in the People’s Republic of China.China, and FCA-FASEMEX, S. de R.L., de C.V. and FCA-FASEMEX Enterprise, S. de R.L. de C.V. which are organized in Mexico.

On September 19, 2019, the Company announced the formation of a joint venture with Fabricaciones y Servicios de México, S.A. de C.V. (“Fasemex”), a Mexican company with operations in both Mexico and the United States. The Company’s directjoint venture will lease a manufacturing facility in Castaños, Mexico in which it will manufacture railcars. Production of railcars at the facility is expected to begin in the second half of 2020. The Company ceased operations at its Roanoke, Virginia manufacturing facility and indirect subsidiaries are all wholly owned.has vacated the facility as of March 31, 2020.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FreightCar America, Inc. and subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. During 2019 the Company entered into a joint venture arrangement with Fasemex to manufacture railcars in Castaños, Mexico, in exchange for a 50% interest in the operation. Under the terms of the joint venture operating agreement, the Company has the right to appoint the majority of the members of the board and management for the joint venture. The Company therefore, has determined that it has the power to direct the activities of the related entities that most significantly impact their economic performance and it also has the right to receive significant benefits and obligation to absorb losses from the operations, and as such, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Therefore, these entities are consolidated as VIEs. The Company’s initial commitments under the joint venture include capital contributions of up to $25.0 million over several years through a combination of assets and cash of which $7.1 million has been provided as of June 30, 2020. The total assets of the Mexico operations amount to $5.2 million, consisting primarily of construction in progress as of June 30, 2020. The total liabilities of the Mexico operations amount to $0.1 million as of June 30, 2020. The net loss of the Mexico operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 is $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The noncontrolling minority interest as of June 30, 2020 and net loss attributable to the noncontrolling minority interest for the six months ended June 30, 2020 amounted to $(0.5) million and $(0.4) million, respectively.

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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 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 20162019 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2016.2019. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2019.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2017,2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2017-07,Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, which provides companies with optional guidance, including expedients and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.The ASU does not change how benefit costs are measured but changes where the components of net periodic benefit cost are reported within the income statement. Under ASU2017-07, the service component of net periodic benefit cost will be included with other employee compensation costs within income from operationsexceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts and other componentstransactions affected by reference rate reform, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). This new standard was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. Adoption of net periodic benefit cost will be presented separately (in one or more line items) outsidethis standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software, which requires capitalization of income from operations. This standardcertain implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017,2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoptionAdoption of this standard toon January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on itsthe Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017,August 2018, the FASB issued ASU2017-04,Intangibles 2018-14, CompensationGoodwillRetirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General, which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit and Other (Topic 350): Simplifyingother postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 eliminates certain disclosures related to accumulated other comprehensive income, plan assets, related parties and the Testeffects of interest rate basis point changes on assumed health care costs, and adds disclosures to address significant gains and losses related to changes in benefit obligations. ASU 2018-14 also clarifies disclosure requirements for Goodwill Impairment.Topic 350 currently requires an entity to perform atwo-step test to determine the amount, if any, of goodwill impairment. The amendment inprojected benefit and accumulated benefit obligations. ASU2017-04 removes the second step of the test. An entity will apply aone-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. This standard 2018-14 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginningending after December 15, 2019 and early2020. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption on a retrospective basis for all periods presented is required. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash. The ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. As a result restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included inbeginning-of-period andend-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows and changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will no longer be included in cash flows from investing activities. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Note 4 – Leases

The Company does not expect the adoptiondetermines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,to simplify the accounting for stock compensation. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017 and, on a prospective basis,contract. Substantially all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to share-based payments are recognized as income tax expense or benefit rather than additionalpaid-in capital and are classified as operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. Excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are considered discrete items in the reporting period during which they occur and are not included in the estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate. Additionally, excess tax benefits and tax deficienciesleases are prospectively excluded from the assumed proceeds in the calculation of diluted shares. As permitted by ASU2016-09, the Company elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than continuing to estimate expected forfeitures. This election was applied using a modified retrospective transition method whereby the cumulative effectoperating leases. A significant portion of the change as of January 1, 2017 was recorded as a decrease of $215 to retained earningsCompany’s operating lease portfolio includes manufacturing sites, component warehouses and an increase of $215 to additional paid in capital.corporate offices. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impactremaining lease terms on the majority of the Company’s financial position, resultsleases is between 2.5 to 8 years, some of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-02,Leases (Topic 842),which requires a lesseeinclude options to record aright-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than twelve months regardless of whetherextend the lease is classified as an operating lease or a financing lease.terms. Leases with aan initial term of twelve12 months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets are presented within long term assets, the current portion of operating lease liabilities is presented within current liabilities and the non-current portion of operating lease liabilities are presented within long term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make the lease payments arising during the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will beexercise that option. As most of the Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The components of the lease costs were as follows:

On February 26, 2019, the Company entered into an Amendment to its lease of the Shoals, Alabama manufacturing facility to extend the initial term thereof from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2026, with two five-year extension terms thereafter through December 31, 2031 and December 31, 2036, at the Company’s option. In addition, the Company will vacate up to 40% of the manufacturing facility on or before December 31, 2021 with the base rent payable to the Landlord reduced on proportional basis. The Company accounted for the amendment as a modification of the lease, resulting in a similar mannernon-cash increase to existing guidance for operating leases. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Entities are required tolease liability and right of use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginningasset of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU2015-11,Inventory (Topic 330), which requires entities to measure most inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under ASU2015-11, inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which eliminates the need to determine replacement cost and evaluate whether it is above the ceiling (net realizable value) or below the floor (net realizable value less normal profit margin). ASU2015-11 defines net realizable value as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The adoption of this standard$32,079 during the first quarter of 2017 did2019. The Company concluded that the initial term through December 31, 2026 would be included in the measurement of lease liabilities as of the modification date. The Company has concluded that the options for extensions beyond that date are not reasonably certain of exercise, and have been excluded from the measurement of lease liabilities.

During 2019, the Company entered into a material impactlease agreement of new office space for which the Company took possession on February 1, 2020. The new lease arrangement requires total minimum lease payments of approximately $3,000 over 11.5 years.

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. However, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company recognized a provision for doubtful accounts of $334 largely related to one customer in its leasing portfolio that filed for bankruptcy.

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 has 0 contract assets as of June 30, 2020. 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 Consolidated Balance Sheet based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the related revenue. Deferred revenue and customer deposits included in customer deposits, other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s financial statements.Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were $36,198 and $5,607 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Performance Obligations

The Company is electing not to disclose the FASB issuedvalue of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligation with a duration of one year or less as permitted by ASUNo. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which was further clarified in March 2016. The ASU outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most prior revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The ASU is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the new standard. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 is permitted.

Customers.The Company plans to adopt ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method of adoption. Under this method, the guidance will be applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements and the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard will result in an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earningshad remaining unsatisfied performance obligations as of the dateJune 30, 2020 with expected duration of adoption.

greater than one year of $55,684.

The Company continues to evaluate the requirements of the standard and its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures. The Company currently expects to complete its analysis in the fourth quarter of 2017. However, to date, the Company has not identified any material differences between the new standard and its existing revenue recognition methods or contract costs that would require modification under the new standard. Additionally, the Company does not expect significant changes in business processes or systems as a result of the adoption of the standard.

Note 810Goodwill

The Company assesses the carrying value of goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently whenever events occurDebt Financing and circumstances change indicating potential impairment. On August 1, 2017, the Company performed its annual assessment of its Manufacturing reporting unit, the only reporting unit carrying goodwill, and concluded that the estimated fair value of the Manufacturing reporting unit exceeded the carrying value as of the testing date. Management determined the fair value of the Manufacturing reporting unit using a combination of the income approach, utilizing the discounted cash flow method, and the market approach, utilizing the guideline company method. Fair value based on the income approach was given a 60% weighting and fair value based on the market approach was given a 40% weighting.

Fair value calculations using the income approach contain significant judgments and estimates with respect to a variety of factors that will significantly impact the future performance of the business, including: future railcar volume projections based on an industry-specific outlook for railcar demand; estimated margins on railcar sales; estimated growth rate for selling, general and administrative costs; future effective tax rate for the Company; and weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”). Management estimated a WACC of 14% for the Company’s August 1, 2017 goodwill impairment valuation analysis.

In addition to estimating the fair value of the Company’s Manufacturing reporting unit using the discounted cash flow method in the base case scenario, the Company also estimated the fair value of its Manufacturing reporting unit using the discounted cash flow method for alternate scenarios. From a sensitivity perspective, the estimated fair value of the net assets in the Company’s Manufacturing reporting unit exceeded the carrying value even if the WACC used in the discounted cash flow method was increased by one hundred basis points or the terminal margin was decreased by seventy basis points. If market conditions further deteriorate or the performance of the Manufacturing reporting unit is worse than projected over an extended period of time, the reporting unit could potentially be at risk of an impairment charge. As of September 30, 2017, the total goodwill balance of the Manufacturing reporting unit was $21,521.

Note 9 – Revolving Credit FacilityFacilities

BMO Credit Agreement

On June 13, 2016,April 12, 2019, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment”“BMO Credit Agreement”) by and among FreightCarthe Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers and guarantors (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), and BMO Harris Bank of America, N.A., as lender administrative agent, swingline lender(“BMO”). Pursuant to the BMO Credit Agreement, BMO extended an asset-based credit facility, in the maximum aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000, consisting of revolving loans and lettera sub-facility for letters of credit issuer (the “Bank”).

not to exceed the lesser of $10,000 and the amount of the revolving credit facility.

The First AmendmentBMO Credit Agreement has a term ending on April 12, 2024. Revolving loans outstanding thereunder will bear interest, at the Borrowers’ option and subject to the provisions of the BMO Credit Agreement, at Base Rate (as defined in the BMO Credit Agreement) or LIBOR Rate (as defined in the BMO Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin for each such interest rate set forth in the BMO Credit Agreement.

The BMO Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility with maximum availability of $42,500, subject to borrowing base requirements set forth in the BMO Credit Agreement. The maximum availability under the BMO Credit Agreement is determined by a formula and may fluctuate depending on the value of the borrowing base included in such formula at the time of determination. On February 21, 2020, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers and guarantors, and BMO, amended the BMO Credit Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2013 (the “Original Credit Agreement” and, as amended by the First Amendment, the ”Revolving Credit Facility”), by and among the Borrowers and the Bank in order to, among other things: (1) extendthings, increase the termborrowing base during the period commencing February 21, 2020 until May 15, 2020 by the lesser of (i) 100% of qualified unrestricted cash and (ii) $4,000.

The BMO Credit Agreement has both affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, limitations on indebtedness, liens and investments.

SBA Paycheck Protection Program Loan

In March 2020, Congress passed the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), authorizing loans to small businesses for use in paying employees that they continue to employ throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and for rent, utilities and interest on mortgages. In June 2020, Congress enacted the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (“PPPFA”), amending the PPP.

Loans obtained through the PPP, as amended, are eligible to be forgiven as long as the proceeds are used for qualifying purposes and certain other conditions are met. On April 16, 2020, the Company received a loan in the amount of $10,000 through the Paycheck Protection Program. Management expects that the entire loan will be used for payroll, utilities and interest; therefore, management anticipates that the majority of the PPP Loan will be forgiven. To the extent it is not forgiven, the Company would be required to repay that portion at an interest rate of 1% over a period of two years, with $7,500 due in 2021 and with $2,500 due in 2022 with a final installment in April 2022.

Note 1112 – Stock-Based Compensation

In each of January 2015, 2016 and 2017, the Company granted performance shares with performance measurement periods of three calendar years. The shares will vest and be earned at the end of each performance measurement period, if at all, based on the Company’s three-year cumulative basic earnings per share, provided that a minimum three-year average return on invested capital goal is also met or exceeded. The earnings per share thresholds and return on invested capital goals were established by the Company’s board of directors on the grant dates. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost for performance shares over the vesting period based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the award date multiplied by the estimated number of shares to be awarded based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions.

On July 31, 2017, the Company grantednon-qualified stock options to purchase 350,000 shares of our common stock to an executive of the Company. The award features a performance earning vesting schedule whereby the stock options will vest if the average closing price per share of the Company’s stock over the trailing 90 calendar days (the “Threshold Stock Price”) exceeds the closing price per share of the Company’s stock on July 31, 2017 (the “Reference Stock Price”) as follows: 34% of the stock options will vest if the Threshold Stock Price exceeds the Reference Stock Price by $5.00; another 33% of the stock options will vest if the Threshold Stock Price exceeds the Reference Stock Price by $10.00; and the remaining 33% of the stock options will vest if the Threshold Stock Price exceeds the Reference Stock Price by $15.00. Such stock price appreciation goals can be achieved at any point during the options’ten-year contractual term. When vesting of an award of stock-based compensation is dependent upon the attainment of a target stock price, the award is considered to be subject to a market condition. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost for stock options with market conditions over the derived service period of the stock options. The estimated fair value and derived service period for the stock options were calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Assumptions used in valuing the July 31, 2017 stock options include the expected stock option life, expected volatility, expected dividend yield and risk-free rate. The stock options were assumed to have an expected life equal to the midpoint of (a) the date the performance goal is attained and (b) the date the stock options expire. The expected volatility assumption of 49.22% was based on the Company’s historical stock price volatility over theten-year period ended on the grant date. The expected dividend yield assumption of 2.19% was based on the Company’s quarterly dividend payment of $0.09 and the grant date stock price of $16.44. The risk-free rate assumption of 2.30% was based on the yields on U.S. Treasury STRIPS with a remaining term that approximates the life assumed at the date of the grant. The estimated fair value of the three vesting tranches for the stock options ranged from $6.88 to $7.25 with derived service periods from 0.98 years to 2.39 years.

Total stock-based compensation was $195$(156) and $142$(415) for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, respectively and $566$94 and $815$274 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, respectively. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, there was $884$1,569 of unearned compensation expense related to restricted stock awards, which will be recognized over the remaining weighed average requisiteservice period of 3522 months. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, there was $2,204$330 of unearned compensation related to performancetime-vested stock options, which will be recognized over the remaining derivedrequisite service period of 18 months.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company granted 1,129,464 cash settled stock appreciation rights to certain employees of which 260,431 were forfeited during 2020 and 869,033 remain outstanding as of June 30, 2020. Each stock appreciation right represents the right to receive a payment measured by the increase in the fair market value of one share of the Company’s stock from the date of grant of the stock appreciation right to the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right. The cash settled stock appreciation rights vest ratably over three years and have a contractual life of 10 years. Cash settled stock appreciation rights are classified as liabilities. The Company measures the fair value of cash settled stock appreciation rights using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and remeasures the fair value of the award each reporting period until the award is settled. Compensation cost for cash settled stock appreciation rights is trued up each vesting tranche.reporting period for changes in fair value pro-rated for the portion of the requisite service period rendered. Once vested the Company immediately recognizes compensation cost for any changes in fair value of cash settled stock appreciation rights until settlement. The estimated fair value of the cash settled stock appreciation rights as of June 30, 2020 was $470. Stock-based compensation for cash settled stock appreciation rights for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was not material.

The fair value of cash settled stock appreciation rights as of June 30, 2020 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions:

Note 1213 – Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a qualified, defined benefit pension plansplan that werewas established to provide benefits to certain employees. These plans areThe plan is frozen and participants are no longer accruing benefits. Generally, contributions to the plansplan are 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 plans’plan assets are held by an independent trusteestrustee and consist primarily of equity and fixed income securities.

The Company also historically provided certain postretirement health care benefits for certain of its salaried and hourly retired employees. Generally, employees may becomebecame eligible for health care benefits if they retireretired after attaining specified age and service requirements. These benefits arewere subject to deductibles,co-payment provisions and other limitations.

On March 25, 2016,October 15, 2019, the Company made a cash payment of $31,616 (including $166 of interest)notified retirees and affected active employees that it would terminate medical benefits offered to settle disputed retiree medical and life insurance benefits for hourly retirees of the Company’s Johnstown manufacturing facility. The settlement resulted in apre-tax gain of $14,306 (net of plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees of $1,300)Company and a reduction in the postretirement benefit obligation of approximately $68,806 as of March 25, 2016. Additionally, as a result of the cost reduction programs initiated in August 2016 and January 2017 (see Note 15), certain employees participating in the salaried pension and postretirement benefit plans were impacted, which triggered curtailments of the respective plans.

As oftheir dependents effective January 1, 2017,2020. The retiree benefits that were terminated include medical insurance and vison insurance that were offered under the Company changed the method it used to estimate the serviceFreightCar America, Inc. Health and interest components of net periodic benefit cost for postretirement benefits and the interest component for pension benefits. Historically, the Company estimated these service and interest cost components utilizing a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the benefit obligation at the beginning of the period. The Company has elected to utilize a full yield curve approach in estimating these components by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in determining the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. The Company made this change to provide a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected benefit cash flows and the corresponding spot yield curve rates. This change will not affect the measurement of the Company’s total benefit obligation at the Company’s annual measurement date, as the refinement compared to the previous method results in a decrease in the service cost and interest components of net periodic benefit cost with an equal offset to actuarial gains (losses) with no net impact on the total benefit obligation.

Welfare Plan.

The refinement did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 or the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. This change is accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.

The components of net periodic benefit cost (benefit) for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, are as follows:

Note 13 – Contingencies

The Company is involved in various warranty and repair claims and, in certain cases, related pending and threatened legal proceedings with its customers in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company’s potential losses in excess of the accrued warranty and legal provisions, if any, are not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company received cash payments of $15,733 and $1,410 during 2015 and 2017, respectively, for Alabama state and local incentives related to its capital investment and employment levels at its Cherokee, Alabama (“Shoals”) facility. Under the incentive agreements a certain portion of the incentives may be repayable by the Company if targeted levels of employment are not maintained for a period of up to six years from the date of the incentive. The Company’s level ofIn the event that employment at its Shoals facility currently exceeds and is expected to continue to exceedlevels drop below the minimum targeted levels of employment. In the event thatemployment and any portion of the incentives is required to be paid back, the amount is unlikely to exceed the deferred liability balance of $5,831 as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.

2020.

On April 17, 2015 and September 30, 2015, National Steel Car Limited (“NSC”) filed Complaints for Patent Infringement againstAs part of a settlement agreement reached with one of its customers during 2019, the Company agreed to pay $7,500 to settle all claims related to a prior year’s commercial dispute. During 2019, the Company paid $3,500 of the settlement amount and the remaining $4,000 will be paid over a period of three years, or on an accelerated basis in the United States District Court forevent both parties agree to accelerate delivery of railcars currently in the Northern District of Illinois (Eastern Division) in Chicago, Illinois. The complaints assert five United States patents against certain aggregate gondola freight cars sold to certain customers. The complaints seek injunctive relief and an unspecified amount of damages. The Court consolidated both cases on November 12, 2015. On January 29, 2016, NSC filed an amended complaint, alleging that 18 offers to sell made by the Company also infringed NSC’s patents. The Company filed its answer to NSC’s amended complaint on February 16, 2016, responding to NSC’s newly raised allegations and adding new affirmative defenses as well as counterclaims fornon-infringement and invalidity. The Company also filedinter partesreview (“IPR”) petitions in March 2016 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) for two of the five asserted patents. In June 2015, the parties began conducting the first phase of fact discovery, which concluded on August 9, 2016. In September 2016, the PTAB granted the IPR petitions and instituted trials on all asserted claims for both patents. On October 5, 2016, the Company filed a motion to stay the district court litigation in order to allow the IPR trials to run their course, which the district court denied. A claim construction hearing before the district court took place on January 31, 2017, and the court’s ruling was issued on June 8, 2017. The PTAB rendered its final written decisions in both IPR trials on September 22 and 25, 2017, finding that the Company had not shown by a preponderance of the evidence that the subject claims of the two patents were unpatentable. On October 4, 2017, the court entered a new case schedule for the litigation, although a trial date has not yet been set, and the parties have engaged in settlement discussions. A status hearing has been set for December 19, 2017. The Company believes that the complaints are without merit and, subject to the ongoing settlement discussions, intends to vigorously defend against the allegations. While the ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be determined at this time, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.backlog.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company is involved in certain other pending and threatened legal proceedings, including commercial disputes and workers’ compensation and employee matters arising out of the conduct of its business. While the ultimate outcome of these other legal proceedings cannot be determined at this time, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these other actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the potential outcome of all significant contingencies and estimates the likelihood that a future event or events will confirm the loss of an asset or the incurrence of a liability. When information available prior to the issuance of the Company’s financial statements indicates that, in management’s judgment, it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, the contingency is accrued by a charge to income. During the third quarter of 2017, the Company recorded contingency losses of $2,850 related to the foregoing matters, which is reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations in “Selling, general and administrative expenses”.

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

OVERVIEW

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, risks relating to the potential financial and operational impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; 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, and delays in the delivery of raw materials, the risk of lack of acceptance of our new railcar offerings by our customers, risks relating to our relationship with our unionized employees and their unions 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 Form10-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 railroads, shippers and financial institutions.

The Company’s operations comprise two operating segments, Manufacturing and Parts, and one reportable segment, Manufacturing. The Company’s Manufacturing segment includes new railcar

On July 22, 2019, the Company announced its intention to close its Roanoke, Virginia manufacturing used railcar sales, railcar leasing and major railcar rebuilds. The Company’s Parts operating segment is not significant for reporting purposes and has been combined with corporate and othernon-operating activitiesfacility as Corporate and Other.

Our railcar manufacturing facilities are located in Cherokee, Alabama (“Shoals”), Danville, Illinois and Roanoke, Virginia. Our Shoals facility is an important part of our long-term growth strategy as we continueits “Back to expand our railcar product and service offerings. Our Roanoke facility has the capacity to build a variety of railcar types in a cost-effective manner and will continue to support our coal car products when market conditions improve. During the second quarter of 2017,Basics” strategy. The Company ceased operations were significantly curtailed in response to market conditions as we identify new production opportunities. Our Danville facility resumed production in June 2014 after being idled for 14 months. Given the challenged coal market, operations there were again significantly curtailed in 2016 andat the facility was idledas of November 29, 2019. The Company terminated its leases for railcar productionthe facility effective as of March 31, 2017.

On August 1, 2016, we announced2020. Restructuring and impairment charges of $3.3 million and a cost reduction program whereby approximately 15%lease termination gain of our salaried administrative workforce would be eliminated, our Johnstown, Pennsylvania administrative facility would be closed and certain discretionary spending would be reduced. During$2.2 million related to the third and fourth quartersplant closure were recorded during the last half of 2016, we recorded2019. Additional restructuring and impairment charges of $2.3$1.1 million which consisted primarily ofnon-cashwere recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Restructuring and impairment charges of $1.3 million forrelated to the plant closure primarily include charges related to property, plant and equipment disposed of or abandoned at our Johnstown administrativethe Roanoke facility and employee severance and other employment termination costsretention charges.

On September 19, 2019, the Company announced the formation of $1.0 million. The annualized cost savings resulting from this restructuring program will be approximately $5.0 million.

In light of the current cyclical downturna joint venture with Fabricaciones y Servicios de México, S.A. de C.V. (“Fasemex”), a Mexican company with operations in the railcar industryboth Mexico and the challenged coal market,United States. The joint venture will lease a manufacturing facility in the first quarter of 2017 we announced further reductions to our salaried workforce, initiatives to reduce discretionary spending and the idling of our Danville, Illinois facility. In connection with our cost reduction programCastanos, Mexico in 2017, we recorded restructuring charges of $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which consisted primarily of employee severance and other employment termination costs and pension and postretirement benefit plan curtailment and special termination benefits. The annualized cost savings resulting from these actionsit will be approximately $3.0 million when fully implemented. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recordednon-cash impairment charges of $0.4 million for property, plant and equipment at our idled Danville, Illinois facility.

Total orders for railcars in the third quarter of 2017 were 920 units, consisting of 260manufacture new railcars and 660 leasedconvert existing railcars. Production of railcars at the facility is expected to begin in the second half of 2020. The Company’s initial obligations under the joint venture include capital contributions of $25 million over several years through a combination of assets and cash. The Company expects to contribute between $3 million and $5 million to the joint venture during the remainder of 2020.

Total new orders received for railcars for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were 300 units all of which were rebuilt railcars, compared to orders for 620792 units, consisting of 520292 new railcars and 100 leased500 rebuilt railcars, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in the third quarternumber of 2016.new orders for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior year period is a reflection of the cyclical downturn (“Cyclical Downturn”) in the railcar equipment market, which began prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has served to, and may continue to, intensify the Cyclical Downturn. Total backlog of unfilled orders was 3,3171,839 units at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, compared to 4,2591,650 units at December 31, 2016.2019. The estimated sales value of the backlog was $291$207 million and $419$206 million,

respectively, as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016.

2019. Of the backlog as of June 30, 2020, the Company anticipates that between 750 to 1,000 cars will be recognized as revenue by December 31, 2020.

Since first being reported in December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to create a general disruption across the world economy.  We are closely monitoring and managing the impacts of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic on our business, as well as the significant decline in global economic activity, and governmental reactions to the pandemic. The United States government and the Mexico Federal Ministry of Health and Federal Ministry of Communications and Transportation cited the railcar industry as critical to the United States and Mexico’s response efforts to the pandemic. The railcar industry is susceptible to a reduction in demand associated with the overall economic slowdown caused by the virus. In addition, public health organizations and national, state and local governments have implemented measures to combat the spread of COVID-19, including restrictions on movement such as quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders and social distancing ordinances and restricting or prohibiting some forms of business activity.  Accordingly, our ability to predict industry demand and establish forecasts for sales, operating results and cash flows may be impacted. Furthermore, our plant operations and supply chain are potentially susceptible to large-scale outbreaks of the virus within our workforce or that of any of our suppliers.  

Our management is focused on mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the risk to our employees. Therefore, we have taken a number of precautionary measures intended to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the risk to our employees, including implementing detailed cleaning and disinfecting processes at our facilities, adhering to social distancing protocols, suspending non-essential air travel and encouraging employees to work remotely, when possible.

The Company recorded a decrease in revenue compared against the corresponding prior year quarter which we attribute primarily to the backlog delivery schedule and the Cyclical Downturn in economic activity in the railcar industry which began prior to the pandemic. The Cyclical Downturn has intensified as a result of the COVID-19. As discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material negative impact on our business financially and or operationally.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2016 reflects the impact of changes in our full-year forecasted effective tax rate during the third quarter of 2016, which during periods of low income before income taxes have a significant impact on the effective tax rate for the quarter.

Net (Loss) Income

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss was $11.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to net income of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 our diluted net loss per share was $0.94 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.00 for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Our consolidated revenues for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 were $330.2$22.7 million compared to $388.2$144.4 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2019. Manufacturing segment revenues for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 were $323.6$18.1 million compared to $382.3$138.4 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2019. Corporate and Other revenues were $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, largely reflecting lower parts sales driven by soft industry demand.

The $121.7 million decrease in Manufacturing segment revenues for the 2020 period compared to the 2019 period was largely driven by a decline in the volume of railcar units delivered ($124.2 million), the impact of which was partially offset by an increase of $4.3 million due to combined impact of pricing increases and a higher mix of new versus rebuilt cars. Railcar deliveries totaled 3,450111 units, all of which were new railcars, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017first half of 2020, compared to 4,1951,370 units, substantially allconsisting of which were1,119 new railcars and 251 rebuilt railcars, in the ninefirst half of 2019. Although the backlog as of December 31, 2019 ($206.0 million) was higher than the backlog as of December 31, 2018 ($160.2 million), railcar deliveries decreased in the current year period primarily due to the Cyclical Downturn and as a function of the 2020 delivery schedule that is heavily weighted towards the last half of 2020, as defined by the delivery terms of our customers. The Company anticipates that between 750 to 1,000 cars will be delivered to customers in the second half of 2020. The 2019 delivery schedule was more heavily weighted to the first half of the year. Further impacting our deliveries, are build inefficiencies related to the initial production of two orders received in late 2019, due in part to the closure of the Shoals plant during the first week of the quarter due to COVID-19.

Our consolidated gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $7.4 million compared to $33.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, reflecting decreases in gross profit from our Manufacturing segment of $28.4 million, which were partially offset by increases in gross profit from Corporate and Other of $2.3 million.2019. The decline in railcar deliveries contributed a $9.3 million decrease in gross profit infor our Manufacturing segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to unabsorbed costs due to significantly lower volume, inefficiencies related to line-changeovers and unfavorablethe beginning of production of certain railcar types in 2020 and the positive impact in 2019 gross profit related to the resolution of a previous year’s product mix of lower margin railcars, increased production inefficiencies and two facilities that were largely idled contributed another $19.1 million decrease in Manufacturing segment gross profit. The increase inclaim ($3.5 million).

See Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

On August 1, 2016, we announced a cost reduction program whereby approximately 15% of our salaried administrative workforce would be eliminated, our Johnstown, Pennsylvania administrative facility would be closed and certain discretionary spending would be reduced. In the first quarter of 2017, in response to lower order trends in the industry, we announced further reductions to our salaried workforce, initiatives to reduce discretionary spending and the idling of our Danville, Illinois facility. In connection with our cost reduction programs, we recorded restructuring charges of $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which consisted primarily of employee severance and other employment termination costs and pension and postretirement benefit plan curtailment and special termination benefits.

Our primary sources of liquidity for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, wereare our cash provided by operations, cash and cash equivalent balances on hand our securities held to maturity and our revolving credit facility.

and debt facilities outlined below.

The Company manufactures and provides essential products and services to a variety of critical infrastructure customers, and it intends to continue providing its products and services to these customers. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. and Mexico governments, state and local government officials, and other international governments to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Accordingly, our ability to predict industry demand and establish forecasts for sales, operating results and cash flows may be impacted.

On June 13, 2016, weMarch 25, 2020, the United States enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) which, among other things, removed the 80% taxable income limitation for utilization of net operating losses generated in tax years 2018 through 2020, allowing for 5-year net operating loss carrybacks, increased the adjusted taxable income limitation for the disallowance of interest expense from 30% to 50%, and provided for refunds of any remaining alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credits. As a result of the CARES Act, the Company has a total of $1.0 million of AMT refunds in income tax receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to the AMT refund that was received in July 2020.

On April 16, 2020, the Company received a loan of approximately $10.0 million (the “PPP Loan”) from BMO Harris Bank N.A., (“BMO”), pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program of the CARES Act. BMO is also the lender under the BMO Credit Agreement defined below. The Company intends to use all proceeds from the PPP Loan to retain employees, maintain payroll and make lease and utility payments to support business continuity throughout the COVID-19 pandemic; therefore, management anticipates that the majority of the PPP Loan will be forgiven. To the extent it is not forgiven, the Company would be required to repay that portion at an interest rate of 1% over a period of two years, beginning in early 2021 with a final installment in April 2022. On April 14, 2020, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers and guarantors, and BMO, amended the BMO Credit Agreement to add CARES Act covenants related to the PPP Loan.

On April 12, 2019, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement (the “First Amendment”“BMO Credit Agreement”) by and among FreightCarthe Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers and guarantors (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), and BMO Harris Bank of America, N.A., as lender administrative agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issuer (the “Bank”(“BMO”). The First Amendment amended the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2013 (the “Original Credit Agreement” and, as amended by the First Amendment, the “Revolving Credit Facility”), by and amongOn February 21, 2020, the Borrowers and BMO amended the Bank in orderBMO Credit Agreement, to, among other things: (1) extendthings, increase the termborrowing base during the period commencing February 21, 2020 until May 15, 2020 by the lesser of the Original Credit Agreement to July 26, 2019;(i) 100% of qualified unrestricted cash and (2) replace the negative covenant requiring a minimum consolidated net liquidity of $35.0 million with a negative covenant requiring a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00.

We have a $4 million letter of credit outstanding under the letter of credit sub-facility of the BMO Credit Agreement. See Note 10 Debt Financing and

Revolving Credit Facility.Facilities.

On April 16, 2019, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a credit agreement (the “M&T Credit Agreement”) with M&T Bank N.A. As of December 31, 2016, weJune 30, 2020, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC had $5.7$10.2 million in outstanding letters of creditdebt under the M&T Credit Agreement, which was collateralized by leased railcars with a carrying value of $16.3 million. See Note 10 Debt Financing and Revolving Credit Facility and therefore had $44.3 million available for borrowingFacilities.

On August 7, 2020, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC (the “Leasing Company”) received notice (the “Notice”) from M&T Bank that, based on an appraisal (the “Appraisal”) conducted by a third party at the request of M&T Bank with respect to the railcars in the Leasing Company’s Borrowing Base under the RevolvingM&T Credit Facility.Agreement, the unpaid principal balance under the M&T Credit Agreement exceeded the availability under the M&T Credit Agreement as of the date of the Appraisal by $5.1 million (the “Payment

Demand Amount”). In the Notice, M&T Bank has: (a) asserted that an Event of Default under the M&T Credit Agreement has occurred because the Leasing Company did not pay the Payment Demand Amount to M&T Bank within five days of the asserted change in availability; (b) demanded payment of the amount within five days of the date of the Notice; and (c) terminated the commitment to advance additional loans under the M&T Credit Agreement. The Leasing Company does not believe that an Event of Default has occurred and is contesting M&T Bank’s assertion.  The Leasing Company has contacted M&T Bank with a demand to withdraw the Notice.

Our restricted cash, restricted cash equivalents and restricted certificates of deposit balance was $6.1balances were $17.9 million and $4.2 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and $6.0December 31, 2019, respectively. Restricted deposits of $13.7 million as of June 30, 2020 relate to a customer deposit for purchase of railcars. Restricted deposits of $4.2 million as of each of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2016, and consisted of certificates of deposit2019 are used to collateralize standby letters of credit with respect to performance guarantees and to support our worker’sworkers’ compensation insurance claims. The standby letters of credit outstanding as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 are scheduled to expire at various dates through January 31, 2018. We expect to establish restricted cash balances and restricted certificates of deposit in future periods to minimize bank fees related to standby letters of credit.February 1, 2021.

Based on our current level of operations and known changes in planned volume based on our backlog, we believe that our operating cash flows, our marketable securities and our cash balances together with amounts available under our revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our expected short-term liquidity needs. Our long-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance and our ability to continue to meet financial covenants under our revolving credit facilityfacilities and the PPP loan and any other indebtedness.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 common stock and through long-term borrowings. There can be no assurance that 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.

On November 1, 2017, we announced that our Board of Directors approved the suspension of our quarterly dividend to our shareholders to maintain our strong balance sheet and financial flexibility. The suspension of the quarterly dividend, which was previously $0.09 per share, is expected to result in additional liquidity of approximately $1.1 million per quarter. Any future determination to declare and pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors, after taking into account our future earnings, cash flows, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

the risk of equipment failures, delays in deliveries or extensive damage to our facilities;

the risk that we are unable to renew our lease arrangements at our manufacturing facilities at commercially acceptable terms;

the risk of failing to adequately protect our intellectual property;

cybersecurity risks relating to our information technology and other systems;

our ability to maintain relationships with our suppliers of railcar components;

the risk of changes in U.S. tax law and rates;

Our actual results could be different from the results described in or anticipated by our forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates, forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than anticipated. Given these uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions onlywhich $7.1 million has been advanced as of the date that they were made.

We expressly disclaim any dutyJune 30, 2020, leaving up 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. All of the forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We have a $50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which can be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital. On an annual basis, a 1% change in the interest rate in our revolving credit facility will increase or decrease our interest expense by $10,000 for every $1.0$17.9 million of outstanding borrowings. As of September 30, 2017, we had $5.8 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility and therefore had $44.2 million available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility.remaining obligations.

The production of railcars and our operations require substantial amounts of aluminum and steel. The cost of aluminum, steel and all other materials (including scrap metal) used in the production of our railcars represents a significant majority of our direct manufacturing costs. Our business is subject to the risk of price increases and periodic delays in the delivery of aluminum, steel and other materials, all of which are beyond our control. Any fluctuations in the price or availability of aluminum or steel, or any other material used in the production of our railcars, may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, if any of our suppliers were unable to continue its business or were to seek bankruptcy relief, the availability or price of the materials we use could be adversely affected. When market conditions permit us to do so, we negotiate contracts with our customers that allow for variable pricing to protect us against future changes in the cost of raw materials. When raw material prices increase rapidly or to levels significantly higher than normal, we may not be able to pass price increases through to our customers, which could adversely affect our operating margins and cash flows.

We are not exposed to any significant foreign currency exchange risks as our general policy is to denominate foreign sales and purchases in U.S. dollars.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures arewere effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our non-production employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the impact of COVID-19 on our internal control over financial reporting to minimize the impact on its design and operating effectiveness.
