The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. will report first quarter results after the market close on Thursday, January 8, 2025. In the days leading up to the call, the most accurate independent analysts in the transportation equipment sector have adjusted their revenue and earnings estimates. Consensus revenue forecasts have risen by 2.5% compared with projections published just six weeks earlier, reflecting stronger order backlogs across North America and Europe. On the profitability front, analysts now expect adjusted EBITDA margins to expand by approximately 120 basis points year-over-year, driven by ongoing pricing enhancements in the railcar manufacturing segment and improved utilization across Greenbrier’s aftermarket services business. Investors will be watching for management’s guidance on capital expenditure plans, particularly for the company’s new joint venture facility in Brazil and upgrades to its North American wheel services network.

Lorie Tekorius, President and Chief Executive Officer of Greenbrier, will address attendees at the Midwest Association of Rail Shippers (MARS) 2026 Winter Meeting on Wednesday, January 14 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time. Tekorius is slated to speak on evolving supply chain dynamics, railcar manufacturing trends and policy developments affecting freight transportation. Her remarks will underscore Greenbrier’s strategic investments in infrastructure and service enhancements, including the expansion of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures that design, build and market freight railcars in North America, Europe and Brazil. The company currently owns a lease fleet of approximately 17,000 railcars, originating primarily from its manufacturing operations, and provides wheel services, parts, maintenance and retrofitting services to railroads and private car owners. Tekorius is expected to highlight Greenbrier’s policy advocacy efforts on regulatory compliance and railcar management solutions that aim to bolster network reliability and cost efficiency for shippers across the continent.
