[added: For example, although the] economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic did not result in any material cancellations of the Company's backlog, it did impact the timing of some orders in backlog as, in certain cases, the delivery of goods and services were pushed out from their original timelines.
Additionally, [added: in an environment of heightened global geopolitical uncertainty,] market factors, such as broad-based inflation, escalation of commodities costs, transportation and logistics costs, [added: tariffs,] labor costs, and [added: volatility in] foreign currency exchange [removed: rate fluctuations] [added: rates] may exacerbate the impacts of [removed: such] [added: supply chain] disruptions.

Operations in such emerging markets are inherently risky due to a number of regulatory, economic, social and political [removed: uncertainties.][added: uncertainties, which may be exacerbated in environments of heightened geopolitical uncertainty and volatility.]
Significant changes in economic and regulatory policy in emerging [removed: countries] [added: countries,] as well as social or political [removed: uncertainties] [added: uncertainties,] could significantly harm business and economic conditions in these markets generally and could disproportionately impact the rail industry, which could adversely affect our business and prospects in these markets.
[removed: A protectionist trade environment in either the United States or those foreign countries in which we do] business, such as a change in the current tariff structures, export compliance or other trade policies, may adversely affect our business.
We are subject to a variety of [removed: increasingly] stringent environmental laws and regulations governing air emissions, discharges into water, chemical substances in products, the use, handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous substances or waste materials, as well as the remediation of contamination associated with releases of hazardous substances.
We have incurred, and will continue to incur, both operating and capital costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations, [added: including costs associated with the clean-up and investigation of some of our current and former properties and offsite disposal locations.]
[removed: The potential challenges posed by evolving climate change policy and prospective regulation are heavily dependent on the] nature and degree of such legislation, the consistency (or lack of consistency) of legislation across jurisdictions in which we operate, and the extent to which such regulation and legislation applies to our industry.
[removed: For instance, we] [added: We] have experienced cyber-security incidents that have impacted the Company's network.
However, a successful exploitation of our [removed: own or] [added: own,] our vendors’ [added: or our customers'] information technology infrastructure could result in service interruptions, safety hazards, misappropriation of confidential information, process failures, security breaches or other operational difficulties.
[added: Such an event could result in] decreased revenues and increased capital, insurance or operating costs, including the increased costs of security to protect the Company’s infrastructure, among other results.
[removed: If we were to experience a strike or work stoppage, it could be difficult for us to find a] sufficient number of employees with the necessary skills to replace these employees.

The indentures for our outstanding Senior Notes and [added: the agreements governing certain of] our [removed: 2022 and 2024 Credit Agreements contain] [added: credit facilities contains] various covenants that limit our management’s discretion in the operation of our businesses.

The advancement of artificial intelligence technologies may significantly accelerate the pace and broaden the scope of technological innovation impacting the industry.
As a result of our acquisitions from time to time, we have goodwill recorded on our balance sheet.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment may exist.
Factors that could indicate that our goodwill could be impaired include a decline in our stock price and market capitalization, lower than projected operating results and cash flows, and slower growth rates in our industry.
If we determine at a future time that impairment exists, it may result in a significant non-cash charge to earnings and lower stockholders' equity.
Further, we regularly implement organization changes and streamlining, such as divestitures and realignments, to support our growth and cost management strategies and to encourage efficiencies.
If we are unable to successfully manage these and other organizational changes, the ability to complete such activities and realize anticipated benefits and cost savings as well as our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

Estimates for [removed: these programs] [added: this program] could change based on the specific programs approved or changes to the scope of the review.
Future macroeconomic volatility, [added: changes to tariffs and trade policies,] supply chain [removed: disruptions] [added: disruptions,] and labor [removed: availability] [added: availability, amongst other things,] could cause [removed: component] [added: a negative impact on revenue] and [removed: raw material shortages] [added: cost increases] resulting in an adverse effect on the [removed: timing of the] Company’s [removed: revenue and cash flows.][added: operating results.]
The Company utilizes various mitigating actions intended to lessen the impact of macroeconomic [removed: volatility.][added: volatility, including the impact of current tariffs.]
During the first quarter of [removed: 2024, Company] [added: 2025,] Management determined that certain [removed: parts of] [added: businesses within] the [removed: business] [added: Services product line] would be better aligned with Management oversight in [removed: different] [added: the Components] product [removed: lines.][added: line.]
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company purchased the remaining ownership shares of [removed: LKZ,] [added: Locomotiv Kurastyru Zuayty ("LKZ"),] a locomotive manufacturing and assembly company located in Kazakhstan for $111 million, at which time it became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

The following discussion compares our results for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] to the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
The discussion comparing our results for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] to the year ended December 31, [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] is included within Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] filed with the SEC on February [removed: 14, 2024.][added: 12, 2025.]
Net sales for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] increased by [removed: $710] [added: $780] million, or [removed: 7.3%,] [added: 7.5%,] to [removed: $10.39] [added: $11.17] billion compared to the same period in [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
During the fourth quarter of 2025, Wabtec signed $2.2 billion in new locomotive orders in North America, which included $1.3 billion for locomotive modernizations and $0.9 billion for new locomotives.
Also during the fourth quarter, Digital Intelligence secured $75 million of PTC and KinetiX orders in key international markets.
In the third quarter of 2025, Wabtec announced an agreement with National Company Kazakhstan Temir Zholy ("KTZ"), the national railway of Kazakhstan, to deliver Evolution Series locomotives and provide long-term service support.
The multi-national order, valued by the Company at approximately $4.2 billion, marks the largest locomotive agreement in Wabtec's history.
Wabtec also continued to drive recurring revenue in the global market by winning a new service contract in Kazakhstan worth $299 million earlier in 2025.
Additionally in the Freight Segment, the first Simandou locomotives reached Guinea, marking the first exports from the Company's India locomotive facility.
We also signed a $140 million new locomotive order with a North American Class I railroad, signed new locomotive, mining and service orders in the Asia-Pacific region totaling $127 million, and signed a $125 million ultra class mining order.
During 2025, the Transit Segment signed $140 million in new Transit brake orders, two multi-year transit platform door contracts valued at $85 million and a $47 million order to provide brakes and couplers for servicing a North American customer, among many other orders.
In March of 2025, Moody's upgraded the Senior Notes ratings to Baa2 from Baa3 and changed the outlook to stable from positive, and S&P Global Ratings reaffirmed Wabtec's credit rating at BBB with a stable outlook.
In addition to Integration 3.0, there are other ongoing restructuring initiatives, including Portfolio Optimization and Integration 2.0, focused on driving operational efficiency and improving
profitability while reducing manufacturing complexity.
The Company has experienced increased tariff costs which unfavorably impacted our cash from operations for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Although we did not experience a material impact to our results of operations in 2025 because of mitigation efforts, due to the volatility of trade policies, we are unable to reasonably predict the future impact.
As such, Sales by product line for 2024 and 2023 have been recast to conform to the current period presentation.
These changes were within the Freight Segment and had no impact on Total Freight Segment Sales, Gross profit, or Income from operations.
On July 1, 2025, the Company acquired Inspection Technologies for approximately $1.788 billion.
On December 1, 2025, the Company acquired Frauscher, a global market leader in train detection, wayside object control solutions and axle counting systems, for approximately $792 million.
Also during 2025, the Freight Segment completed two additional acquisitions which were individually and collectively immaterial.
Also during the first quarter of 2025, Wabtec announced a definitive agreement to acquire Dellner Couplers, a global leader in highly engineered safety-critical train connection systems and services for passenger rail rolling stock, for approximately €890 million.
The acquisition subsequently closed on February 10, 2026.
Transaction costs incurred for the year ended December 31, 2025 related to completed and announced acquisitions were approximately $49 million.

Sales
The improvement in gross margin is attributable to strong productivity and cost management, savings from restructuring initiatives, and the exit of low margin business offerings through Portfolio Optimization.
Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 included $53 million of costs related to purchase price accounting for the step-up of Inspection Technologies and Frauscher inventories to fair value on the respective dates of acquisition.
The increase is primarily from costs incurred to support the higher sales volume, transaction costs associated with completed and announced acquisitions, incremental expense from acquisitions, and higher employee compensation and benefit costs, partially offset by the impacts of restructuring initiatives.
Transaction costs associated with completed and announced acquisitions included in SG&A were $49 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.
SG&A for the year ended December 31, 2025 included $60 million of costs related to restructuring initiatives, including a $38 million loss on disposition of a business associated with Portfolio Optimization.
SG&A for the year ended December 31, 2024 included $18 million of costs related to restructuring initiatives.
Engineering expenses increased $17 million primarily due to incremental expense from acquisitions and increased investments in new technology.
Other income, net, increased $22 million to $24 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a $19 million net gain on mark-to-market derivatives in the current period associated with the acquisition of Frauscher and anticipated acquisition of Dellner Couplers and lower foreign exchange losses, partially offset by lower equity income.
The year over year increase in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by changes in jurisdictional mix of earnings and the non-deductible loss generated from the divestiture of a business as part of the Portfolio Optimization initiative.

During 2024, Wabtec continued to execute on our value creation framework by signing several key agreements including: a multi-year Tier 4 locomotive order in North America for over $600 million, a multi-year locomotive order in Kazakhstan for over $400 million, international orders for new locomotives for $401 million across six customers, and multi-year orders for new locomotives in Africa for approximately $525 million.
Additionally, Wabtec won a long-term parts agreement with a Class I railroad for over $300 million, signed its first multi-year service contract with a customer in Brazil worth over $240 million, won signaling contracts with Transit customers in North America, and secured a long-term parts agreement with a customer in Asia.
Operationally, Wabtec began commercial operations for its Green Friction braking solution in Paris and launched the next generation of railcar movers with its Shuttlewagon Commander NXT.
Additionally, as a result of Wabtec's strong revenue and profitable growth over the past few years, rating agencies have made the following changes to our credit ratings: both Fitch Ratings and S&P Global Ratings upgraded Wabtec's credit rating from BBB- to BBB with a Stable outlook, and Moody's updated Wabtec's outlook to positive from stable.
During the first quarter of 2022, Wabtec announced Integration 2.0, a multi-year strategic initiative to target incremental run rate synergies now estimated to be approximately $100 million by the end of 2026.
The scope of the review included consolidating our operating footprint, reducing headcount, streamlining the end-to-end manufacturing process, restructuring the North America distribution channels, expanding operations in low-cost countries and simplifying the business through systems enablement.
The Company now expects to incur approximately $170 million of one-time restructuring charges related to Integration 2.0, of which approximately $146 million has been incurred through December 31, 2024.
Approved programs resulted in approximately 15 facility closures and impacted approximately 1,000 employees.
In addition to Integration 2.0, Wabtec is focused on exiting various low margin product offerings through Portfolio Optimization to improve profitability while reducing manufacturing complexity.
Wabtec now expects to incur approximately $70 million in net exit charges related to Portfolio Optimization, which will be predominately non-cash asset write downs.
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, Wabtec recorded charges of approximately $28 million primarily for asset write
downs related to Portfolio Optimization.
Total one-time restructuring charges related to Portfolio Optimization to date are approximately $56 million.
Concurrently, Wabtec announced an additional Portfolio Optimization initiative for 2025 targeting approximately $100 million of low margin revenues.
The 2025 Portfolio Optimization actions are expected to result in approximately $40 million of net exit charges, primarily for non-cash asset write downs.
A portion of our workers are represented by labor unions.
The United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE), Locals 506 and 618 collective bargaining agreement, covering approximately 1,400 locomotive manufacturing workers in Erie, Pennsylvania, expired on June 9, 2023.
Negotiations with UE officially began on April 27, 2023 and an agreement between the Company and the UE was not reached before the contract expired.
On June 22, 2023, the UE voted against ratification of the Company's proposed agreement and authorized a strike.
The Company and the UE subsequently reached an agreement that was ratified by the UE on August 31, 2023, ending the labor strike.
The Company continuously monitors its labor activity.
These changes were immaterial to the individual product lines and segments affected, and historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
*Cyber Incident*
As previously announced, on June 26, 2022, we detected a cyber security incident which impacted the Company’s network.

[removed: Ltd., Fanox Electronic, S.L., Kompozitum s.r.o.,] [added: During 2025, the Company completed the acquisitions of Continental Railworks Technology I Inc., Dotnetix Proprietary Limited] and [removed: Bloom Engineering Holdings, Inc. Management] [added: Dotnetix SA Proprietary Limited, Evident's Inspection Technologies Division, and Frauscher Sensor Technology Group GmbH, and] is currently integrating the acquisitions into its operations, compliance programs and internal control processes and as such, has excluded the acquisitions from its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
The acquisitions are all subsidiaries whose combined total assets represent [removed: 1.3%] [added: 2.4%] and combined net sales represent [removed: 0.1%] [added: 2.5%] of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2024.][added: 2025.]
Based on its assessment, Management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] based on criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation (the Company) as of December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and shareholders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February [removed: 12, 2025] [added: 13, 2026] expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Critical Audit [removed: Matter][added: Matters]
The critical audit [removed: matter] [added: matters] communicated below [removed: is a matter] [added: are matters] arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that [removed: was] [added: were] communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) [removed: relates] [added: relate] to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments.
The communication of [removed: the] critical audit [removed: matter] [added: matters] does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit [removed: matter] [added: matters] below, providing [removed: a] separate [removed: opinion] [added: opinions] on the critical audit [removed: matter] [added: matters] or on the accounts or disclosures to which [removed: it relates.][added: they relate.]
| *Description of the Matter* | | | As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has long-term customer arrangements involving the design and production of highly engineered products that require revenue to be recognized over time. The Company uses input-based measures for determining the amount of revenue, cost, and gross margin to recognize over time for these customer arrangements. The [removed: input methods] [added: inputs] used for these arrangements include costs of material and labor. During the year ended December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] a material amount of the Company's total revenues were derived from performance obligations that are satisfied over time. Auditing the Company's measurement of revenue recognized over time on long-term contracts is especially challenging because it involves subjective management assumptions regarding the estimated remaining costs of the long-term contracts that could span several years. These assumptions could be impacted by the future cost of materials, labor availability and productivity, complexity of the work to be performed, and the performance of suppliers, customers and subcontractors that may be associated with the contracts and may be affected by future market or economic conditions. | | |

| | | | Valuation of Customer Relationships Intangible Asset in the Acquisition of Evident’s Inspection Technologies Division | | |
| *Description of the Matter* | | | As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, on July 1, 2025, the Company acquired Evident’s Inspection Technologies division (“Inspection Technologies”). The transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company preliminarily determined the fair value of the identified customer relationships intangible asset to be $411 million using an income approach. Auditing the Company’s valuation of the acquired customer relationships intangible asset was complex due to estimation uncertainty in determining the fair value. The estimation uncertainty was primarily due to the sensitivity of the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset to underlying assumptions about the future performance of the acquired Inspection Technologies business. The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the customer relationships intangible asset included a discount rate and certain assumptions that form the basis of the forecasted results (future revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization margin). These significant assumptions are forward looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. | | |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | | | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s process to estimate the fair value of the acquired customer relationships intangible asset. We also tested controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions used in the fair value calculation described above and management’s review of the valuation model. To test the estimated fair value of the acquired customer relationships intangible asset, our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the Company's use of the income approach, testing the significant assumptions described above, and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the significant assumptions and estimates. For example, we compared the significant assumptions used by management to observable market data, current industry and economic trends, and actual operating results realized subsequent to the acquisition. We also performed sensitivity analyses of the significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of customer relationships intangible asset resulting from changes in the significant assumptions. In addition, we involved our valuation specialists to assist in our evaluation of the methodologies and certain significant assumptions used by the Company, such as the discount rate. | | |
Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Continental Railworks Technology I Inc., Dotnetix Proprietary Limited and Dotnetix SA Proprietary Limited, Evident's Inspection Technologies Division, and Frauscher Sensor Technology Group GmbH.

Revolving Receivables Program Effective January 1, 2025, the Company utilizes its Revolving Receivables Program to request borrowings from a financial institution against certain collateralized receivables for up to $350 million.
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company amended the Revolving Receivables Program to increase its availability from $350 million to up to $450 million.
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the "Originators") contribute receivables to our bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, which can then be collateralized on a recurring basis.
As customers pay their balances, we transfer additional receivables into the program.
Proceeds and remittances of receivables sold under the program prior to January 1, 2025 are classified as Operating activities on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the net cash proceeds remitted to the financial institution were $20 million and $60 million, respectively.

Treasury Stock The Company records treasury stock purchases at cost.
The cost of shares repurchased is recorded as a reduction of stockholders' equity.

As of December 31, 2025, the measurement period remains open, and the Company has not finalized the purchase accounting for the acquisition.
Certain information necessary to complete the purchase price allocation is not yet available, including, but not limited to, valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and final income tax computations.
The amounts recognized for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and may be adjusted as the Company continues to obtain and evaluate information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and complete the valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, consistent with the measurement‑period guidance in ASC 805.
Any necessary adjustments will be finalized within one year from the date of acquisition, once the Company has received the necessary information.
The fair value of these intangibles are preliminary in nature and subject to adjustments, which could be material as the Company has not completed its valuation of acquired assets and liabilities.
The net sales and results of operations subsequent to the acquisition date were not material to the Company’s consolidated net sales or results of operations.
On July 1, 2025, Wabtec acquired 100% ownership in Evident’s Inspection Technologies division ("Inspection Technologies") for approximately $1.788 billion.
