PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wabtec Corporation (NYSE: WAB) today reported fourth quarter 2024 GAAP earnings per diluted share of $1.23, up 2.5% versus the fourth quarter of 2023. Fourth quarter adjusted earnings per diluted share were $1.68, up 9.1% versus the same quarter a year ago. Fourth quarter sales were $2.58 billion and cash from operations was $723 million. Full year 2024 GAAP earnings per diluted share were $6.04, up 33.3% versus full year 2023. Full year adjusted earnings per diluted share were $7.56, up 27.7% versus full year 2023. Total 2024 sales were $10.39 billion and cash from operations was a record $1.83 billion. “The Wabtec team delivered a strong 2024 as evidenced by higher orders, sales, margin expansion, increased earnings and robust cash flow,” said Rafael Santana, Wabtec’s President and CEO. “We remain committed to our capital deployment strategy to maximize shareholder returns. We returned $1.2 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. And, based on our strong performance in 2024 and confidence in the future, our Board of Directors approved a 25% increase in our quarterly dividend, and in December, increased our share buyback authorization by $1.0 billion. “I am encouraged by the underlying momentum of our business, and the team’s unrelenting focus on execution and delivering for our customers. And just as importantly, we continue to lay a solid foundation for us to build upon. Looking ahead, I believe Wabtec is well positioned to drive top quartile returns over time.” 2024 Fourth Quarter Consolidated Results Wabtec Corporation Consolidated Financial Results $ in millions except earnings per share and percentages; margin change in percentage points (pts) Fourth Quarter 2024 2023 Change Net Sales $2,583 $2,526 2.3 % GAAP Gross Margin 30.9 % 30.3 % 0.6 pts Adjusted Gross Margin 31.6 % 30.8 % 0.8 pts GAAP Operating Margin 12.9 % 12.2 % 0.7 pts Adjusted Operating Margin 16.9 % 17.0 % (0.1) pts GAAP Diluted EPS $1.23 $1.20 2.5 % Adjusted Diluted EPS $1.68 $1.54 9.1 % Cash Flow from Operations $723 $686 $37 Operating Cash Flow Conversion 212 % 182 % Sales increased 2.3% compared to the year-ago quarter driven by increased sales in the Transit segment. GAAP operating margin was higher than the prior year at 12.9% and adjusted operating margin was down slightly versus the prior year at 16.9%. GAAP operating margins benefited from higher gross margin and lower operating expenses as a percent of revenue. Adjusted operating margins benefited from higher gross margin which was offset by higher SG&A expenses as a percent of revenue. GAAP EPS increased from the year-ago quarter primarily due to higher sales and margin expansion, partially offset by the absence of last year’s gain resulting from an increase in ownership interest of an assembly joint venture. Adjusted EPS increased from the year ago quarter primarily due to higher sales. Both benefited from share repurchases during the year. 2024 Fourth Quarter Freight Segment Results Wabtec Corporation Freight Segment Financial Results Net sales $ in millions; margin change in percentage points (pts) Fourth Quarter 2024 2023 Change Net Sales $1,794 $1,789 0.3 % GAAP Gross Margin 31.0 % 31.0 % 0.0 pts Adjusted Gross Margin 31.4 % 31.3 % 0.1 pts GAAP Operating Margin 15.2 % 13.6 % 1.6 pts Adjusted Operating Margin 19.4 % 19.3 % 0.1 pts Freight segment sales were up modestly in the quarter due to the rebalance of Freight segment production to the first half of the year. Full year sales were up 7.9%. GAAP operating margin benefited from lower operating expenses as a percent of revenue behind lower intangible amortization expenses. Adjusted operating margin benefited from modest gross margin improvement. 2024 Fourth Quarter Transit Segment Results Wabtec Corporation Transit Segment Financial Results Net sales $ in millions; margin change in percentage points (pts) Fourth Quarter 2024 2023 Change Net Sales $789 $737 7.1 % GAAP Gross Margin 30.6 % 28.4 % 2.2 pts Adjusted Gross Margin 31.8 % 29.4 % 2.4 pts GAAP Operating Margin 13.0 % 11.9 % 1.1 pts Adjusted Operating Margin 16.4 % 14.9 % 1.5 pts Transit segment sales for the fourth quarter were up 7.1% due to strong OE and aftermarket sales. GAAP and adjusted operating margins were up as a result of higher sales, savings related to Integration 2.0, and favorable product mix.

In early December, the Board also increased our existing share repurchase authorization by $1 billion. 2025 Financial Guidance The Company has largely achieved its previous 5-year guidance over the past 3-year period. Consequently, the Company is replacing its previous long-term guidance with new 5-year guidance. The Company expects mid-single digit revenue growth CAGR, 350+ bps of adjusted operating margin expansion, and double digit EPS growth CAGR while delivering greater than 90% average cash conversion over the 5-year period through the end of 2029. Wabtec’s 2025 financial guidance expects sales to be in a range of $10.725 billion to $11.025 billion and adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in a range of $8.35 to $8.75. For full year 2025, Wabtec expects strong cash flow generation with operating cash flow conversion of greater than 90 percent. 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.
