PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 2026-- Wabtec Corporation (NYSE: WAB) today reported fourth quarter 2025 GAAP earnings per diluted share of $1.18, down 4.1% versus the fourth quarter of 2024. Fourth quarter adjusted earnings per diluted share were $2.10, up 25.0% versus the same quarter a year ago. Fourth quarter sales were $2.97 billion and cash from operations was $992 million. Full year 2025 GAAP earnings per diluted share were $6.83, up 13.1% versus full year 2024. Full year adjusted earnings per diluted share were $8.97, up 18.7% versus full year 2024. Total 2025 sales were $11.17 billion and cash from operations was $1.76 billion.

“The Wabtec team delivered a strong fourth quarter and full year results, reflecting the strength of our business and our ability to execute in dynamic markets,” said Rafael Santana, Wabtec’s President and CEO.

“In the fourth quarter, we achieved double digit sales growth, expanded adjusted operating margins, and grew adjusted EPS 25% … all while building a very strong backlog and generating robust operating cash flow.

“As we exit 2025, I am very encouraged by the underlying momentum of our business and our recent acquisitions, both of which we expect to drive significant value going forward.

“Looking ahead, our record $27 billion multi-year backlog provides strong visibility and positions Wabtec for sustained growth. At the same time, our team remains committed to advancing innovation, driving operational excellence, and maintaining disciplined capital allocation to deliver long-term value for our shareholders.”

2025 Fourth Quarter Consolidated Results

• Sales increased 14.8% compared to the year-ago quarter driven by increased sales in the Freight segment, which included acquisitions (Inspection Technologies & Frauscher Sensor Technology), and in the Transit segment.

• GAAP operating margin was lower than the prior year at 12.0% and adjusted operating margin was up versus the prior year at 17.7%. Both GAAP and adjusted operating margins benefited from higher gross margin, which was partially offset by higher operating expenses as a percent of revenue. GAAP operating margins were also adversely impacted by restructuring costs associated with Integration 2.0 & 3.0, Portfolio Optimization charges, and transaction costs associated with recent acquisitions.

• GAAP and adjusted EPS benefited from higher sales and operating margin expansion which was partially offset by higher operating expenses as a percent of revenue. GAAP EPS was further impacted by restructuring charges and transaction costs tied to recent acquisitions.

2025 Fourth Quarter Freight Segment Results

• Freight segment sales for the fourth quarter were up 18.3%. Equipment sales were up 33.5% driven by higher locomotive deliveries, while Digital sales were up 74.4% driven by the acquisition of Inspection Technologies & Frauscher Sensor Technology. Components sales were up 11.1%. Services sales were down 5.0% as expected due to the timing of modernization deliveries.

• GAAP and adjusted operating margin benefited from gross margin improvement which was partially offset by higher operating expenses as a percent of revenue. In addition, GAAP operating margin was adversely impacted by one time costs associated with the Portfolio Optimization initiative and purchase accounting adjustments resulting from Inspection Technologies acquisition.

2025 Fourth Quarter Transit Segment Results

• Transit segment sales for the fourth quarter were up 6.7% due to strong OE and aftermarket sales.

• GAAP and adjusted operating margins were impacted by manufacturing inefficiencies and higher operating expenses as a percent of revenue.

Backlog

The Company’s 12-month and multi-year backlogs continue to provide strong visibility. At the end of the fourth quarter, the 12-month backlog was $553 million higher than the prior year. And at December 31, 2025, the multi-year backlog was $5,135 million higher than the same time a year ago. Excluding the impacts of foreign currency exchange, the 12-month backlog was up 4.7% and the multi-year backlog was up 20.5%.

Cash Flow and Liquidity Summary

Forecasted GAAP Earnings Reconciliation

Wabtec is not presenting a quantitative reconciliation of our forecasted GAAP earnings per diluted share to forecasted adjusted earnings per diluted share in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exemption provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. Wabtec is unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the impact and timing of restructuring-related and other charges, including acquisition-related expenses and the outcome of regulatory, legal and tax matters. The financial impact of these items is uncertain and is dependent on various factors, including timing, and could be material to our Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

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

Wabtec’s earnings release and 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 for 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.
