WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 (UNAUDITED)

1. BUSINESS

Wabtec is one of the world’s largest providers of value-added, technology-based products and services for the global rail industry. Our products are found on virtually all U.S. locomotives, freight cars and passenger transit vehicles, as well as in approximately 100 countries throughout the world. Our products enhance safety, improve productivity and reduce maintenance costs for customers, and many of our core products and services are essential in the safe and efficient operation of freight rail and passenger transit vehicles. Wabtec is a global company with operations in 17 countries. In the first six months of 2011, about 47% of the Company’s revenues came from customers outside the U.S.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include the accounts of Wabtec and its majority owned subsidiaries. These condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In Management’s opinion, these financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The Company operates on a four-four-five week accounting quarter, and the quarters end on or about March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31.

The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in Wabtec’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The December 31, 2010 information has been derived from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the current year presentation.

Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue is recognized when products have been shipped to the respective customers, title has passed and the price for the product has been determined.

In general, the Company recognizes revenues on long-term contracts based on the percentage of completion method of accounting. The units-of-delivery method or other input-based or output-based measures, as appropriate, are used to measure the progress toward completion of individual contracts. Contract revenues and cost estimates are reviewed and revised at a minimum quarterly and adjustments are reflected in the accounting period as such amounts are determined. Provisions are made currently for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts.

Certain pre-production costs relating to long-term production and supply contracts have been deferred and will be recognized over the life of the contracts. Deferred pre-production costs were $14.2 million and $11.9 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported

FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 (UNAUDITED)

 

amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based compensation based on the grant date fair value amortized ratably over the requisite service period following the date of grant.

Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities The Company has periodically entered into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of changes in currency exchange rates. Forward contracts are agreements with a counter-party to exchange two distinct currencies at a set exchange rate for delivery on a set date at some point in the future. There is no exchange of funds until the delivery date. At the delivery date the Company can either take delivery of the currency or settle on a net basis.

At June 30, 2011, the Company had forward contracts for the sale of South African Rand (ZAR) and the purchase of U.S. Dollars (USD). The Company concluded that these foreign currency forward contracts qualify for cash flow hedge accounting which permits the recording of the fair value of the forward contract and corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, on the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had forward contracts with a notional value of 16.7 million ZAR (or $2.3 million U.S.) with an average exchange rate of 7.23 ZAR per $1 USD, resulting in the recording of a current liability of $140,000 and a corresponding offset in accumulated other comprehensive income of $89,000, net of tax.

To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on a portion of its variable-rate debt, the Company entered into interest rate swaps which effectively converted a portion of the debt from variable to fixed-rate borrowings during the term of the swap contracts. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties. However, since only the cash interest payments are exchanged, exposure is significantly less than the notional amount. The counterparties are large financial institutions with an excellent credit ratings and history of performance. The Company currently believes the risk of nonperformance is negligible. The Company concluded that these interest rate swap agreements qualify for cash flow hedge accounting which permits the recording of the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements and corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, on the balance sheet. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had interest rate swap agreements with a notional value of $137.0 million and which effectively changed the Company’s interest rate on bank debt at June 30, 2011 from a variable rate to a fixed rate of 2.24%. The interest rate swap agreements mature at various times through December 2012. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has recorded a current liability of $2.3 million and a corresponding offset in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.4 million, net of tax, related to these agreements.

Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, except for the Company’s Mexican operations whose functional currency is the U.S. Dollar, are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date while income and expenses are translated at the weighted average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions, and the translation of financial statements are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements based upon the provisions of ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters.” The effects of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions and balances of a long-term investment nature are accumulated and carried as a component of shareholders’ equity. The effects of currency exchange rate changes on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are charged or credited to earnings. Foreign exchange transaction losses recognized in other income (expense), net were $589,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Foreign exchange transaction gains recognized in other income (expense), net were $893,000 for the three

months ended June 30, 2010. Foreign exchange transaction losses recognized in other income (expense), net were $266,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Foreign exchange transaction gains recognized in other income (expense), net were $296,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Non-controlling Interests In accordance with ASC 810, the Company has classified non-controlling interests as equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was not material.

Other Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is defined as net income and all other non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, foreign currency hedges, foreign exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, and pension and post retirement related adjustments. Total comprehensive income was:

On February 25, 2011, the Company acquired Brush Traction Group (“Brush Traction”), a UK-based provider of locomotive overhauls, services and aftermarket components for a net purchase price of approximately $30.7 million, resulting in additional goodwill of $20.5 million, on a preliminary basis, which will be deductible for tax purposes.

2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement

On November 4, 2008, the Company refinanced its existing unsecured revolving credit agreement with a consortium of commercial banks. This “2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement” provides the company with a $300 million five-year revolving credit facility and a $200 million five-year term loan facility. The Company incurred $2.9 million of deferred financing cost related to the 2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement. Both facilities expire in January 2013. The 2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement borrowings bear variable interest rates indexed

to the indices described below. At June 30, 2011, the Company had available bank borrowing capacity, of approximately $113.1 million, net of $48.9 million of letters of credit, subject to certain financial covenant restrictions.

Under the 2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement, the Company may elect a Base Rate of interest or an interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) of interest (“the Alternate Rate”). The Base Rate adjusts on a daily basis and is the greater of the PNC, N.A. prime rate, 30-day LIBOR plus 150 basis points or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% per annum, plus a margin that ranges from 25 to 50 basis points. The Alternate Rate is based on quoted LIBOR rates plus a margin that ranges from 125 to 200 basis points. Both the Base Rate and Alternate Rate margins are dependent on the Company’s consolidated total indebtedness to cash flow ratios. The initial Base Rate margin is 25 basis points and the Alternate Rate margin is 125 basis points. At June 30, 2011 the weighted average interest rate on the Company’s variable rate debt was 1.45%. To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on a portion of this variable-rate debt, the Company entered into interest rate swaps which effectively converted a portion of the debt from variable to fixed-rate borrowings during the term of the swap contracts. On June 30, 2011, the notional value of the interest rate swaps outstanding was $137.0 million and effectively changed the Company’s interest rate on bank debt at June 30, 2011 from a variable rate to a fixed rate of 2.24%. The interest rate swap agreements mature at various times through December 2012. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties. However, since only the cash interest payments are exchanged, exposure is significantly less than the notional amount. The counterparties are large financial institutions with an excellent credit rating and history of performance. The Company currently believes the risk of nonperformance is negligible.

The 2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement limits the Company’s ability to declare or pay cash dividends and prohibits the Company from declaring or making other distributions, subject to certain exceptions. The 2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement contains various other covenants and restrictions including the following limitations: incurrence of additional indebtedness; mergers, consolidations, sales of assets and acquisitions; additional liens; sale and leasebacks; permissible investments, loans and advances; certain debt payments; and imposes a minimum interest expense coverage ratio of 3.0 and a maximum debt to cash flow ratio of 3.25. The Company is in compliance with these measurements and covenants and expects that these measurements will not be any type of limiting factor in executing our operating activities.

On January 28, 2011, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the 2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement. The amendment increased the limit on surety bonds, performance bonds, bid bonds, or similar obligations arising in the ordinary course of business from $350 million to $500 million in the aggregate. The amendment also expanded the definition of Issuing Lender to allow additional banks to issue Letters of Credit.

6.875% Senior Notes Due August 2013

In August 2003, the Company issued $150 million of Senior Notes due in 2013 (“the Notes”). The Notes were issued at par. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 6.875% per annum and is payable semi-annually on January 31 and July 31 of each year. The proceeds were used to repay debt outstanding under the Company’s existing credit agreement, and for general corporate purposes. The principal balance is due in full at maturity.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu with all existing and future senior debt and senior to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The indenture under which the Notes were issued contains covenants and restrictions which limit among other things, the following: the incurrence of indebtedness, payment of dividends and certain distributions, sale of assets, change in control, mergers and consolidations and the incurrence of liens.

Under the Directors Plan, options become exercisable over a three-year vesting period and expire 10 years from the date of grant.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity and related information for the 2011 Plan, the 2000 Plan and the Directors Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2011:

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

     Six months ended

         2011             2010

Stock price volatility

     45.6     46.1

Expected life (years)

     5.0        5.0   

The dividend yield is based on the Company’s dividend rate and the current market price of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. Expected life in years is determined from historical stock option exercise data. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury bond rates for the expected life of the option.

Restricted Stock and Incentive Stock Beginning in 2006 the Company adopted a restricted stock program. As provided for under the 2011 and 2000 Plans, eligible employees are granted restricted stock that generally vests over four years from the date of grant. Under the Directors Plan, restricted stock awards vest one year from the date of grant.

In addition, the Company has issued incentive stock awards to eligible employees that vest upon attainment of certain cumulative three-year performance goals. The incentive stock awards included in the table below represent the number of shares that may vest if the performance targets are met. As of June 30, 2011, based on

the Company’s performance, we estimate that these stock awards will vest and have recorded compensation expense accordingly. If our estimate of the number of these stock awards expected to vest changes in a future accounting period, compensation expense could be reduced or increased and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period.

Compensation expense for the restricted stock and incentive stock awards is based on the average of the high and low Wabtec stock price on the date of grant and recognized over the applicable vesting period.

9. INCOME TAXES

The overall effective income tax rate was 30.3% and 33.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and 33.1% and 33.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate is due primarily to a $1.7 million benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2011 relating to settlements with taxing authorities and the expiration of statutory review periods in various taxing jurisdictions.

As of June 30, 2011, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions is $7.8 million, of which $1.7 million, if recognized would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2010 the liability associated with uncertain tax positions was $10.0 million, of which $3.1 million, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company includes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2011 the total accrued interest and penalties are $2.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2010 the total accrued interest and penalties were $3.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

With limited exception, the Company is no longer subject to examination by various U.S. and foreign taxing authorities for the years before 2009.

At this time, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $1.5 million may change within the next 12 months due to the expiration of statutory review periods and current examinations.

The Company’s non-vested restricted stock contains rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends, and thus, are participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The calculation of earnings per share for common stock shown above excludes the income attributable to the non-vested restricted stock from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those shares from the denominator.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and explains the related disclosure requirements. ASC 820 indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability and defines fair value based upon an exit price model.

Valuation Hierarchy. ASC 820 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table provides the liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011, which are included in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance sheet:

As a result of our global operating activities, the Company is exposed to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial position. When deemed appropriate, the Company minimizes these risks through entering into foreign currency forward contracts. The foreign currency forward contracts are valued using broker quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or over-the counter markets. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within level 2.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Claims have been filed against the Company and certain of its affiliates in various jurisdictions across the United States by persons alleging bodily injury as a result of exposure to asbestos-containing products. Most of these claims have been made against our wholly owned subsidiary, Railroad Friction Products Corporation (“RFPC”), and are based on a product sold by RFPC prior to the time that the Company acquired any interest in RFPC.

Most of these claims, including all of the RFPC claims, are submitted to insurance carriers for defense and indemnity or to non-affiliated companies that retain the liabilities for the asbestos-containing products at issue. We cannot, however, assure that all these claims will be fully covered by insurance or that the indemnitors or insurers will remain financially viable. Our ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these claims, as is the case with other pending litigation, cannot be estimated.

It is Management’s belief that the potential range of loss for asbestos-related bodily injury cases is not reasonably determinable at present due to a variety of factors, including: (1) the asbestos case settlement history of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, RFPC; (2) the unpredictable nature of personal injury litigation in general; and (3) the uncertainty of asbestos litigation in particular. Despite this uncertainty, and although the results of the Company’s operations and cash flows for any given period could be adversely affected by asbestos-related lawsuits, Management believes that the final resolution of the Company’s asbestos-related cases will not be material to the Company’s overall financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In general, this belief is based upon: (1) Wabtec’s and RFPC’s history of settlements and dismissals of asbestos-related cases to date; (2) the inability of many plaintiffs to establish any exposure or causal relationship to RFPC’s product; and (3) the inability of many plaintiffs to demonstrate any identifiable injury or compensable loss.

More specifically, as to RFPC, Management’s belief that any losses due to asbestos-related cases would not be material is also based on the fact that RFPC owns insurance which provides coverage for asbestos-related bodily injury claims. To date, RFPC’s insurers have provided RFPC with defense and indemnity in these actions. The overall number of new claims being filed against RFPC has dropped significantly in recent years; however, these new claims, and all previously filed claims, may take a significant period of time to resolve. As to Wabtec and its divisions, Management’s belief that asbestos-related cases will not have a material impact is also based on its position that it has no legal liability for asbestos-related bodily injury claims, and that the former owners of Wabtec’s assets retained asbestos liabilities for the products at issue. To date, Wabtec has been able to successfully defend itself on this basis, including two arbitration decisions and a judicial opinion, all of which confirmed Wabtec’s position that it did not assume any asbestos liabilities from the former owners of certain Wabtec assets. Although Wabtec has incurred defense and administrative costs in connection with asbestos bodily injury actions, these costs have not been material, and the Company has no information that would suggest these costs would become material in the foreseeable future.

On October 18, 2007, Faiveley Transport Malmo AB (“Faiveley Malmo”) filed a request for arbitration with the International Chamber of Commerce alleging breach of contract and trade secret violations relating to the Company’s manufacture and sale of certain components. The components at issue are limited in number and used in the transit industry. On that same day, Faiveley Malmo also filed a related proceeding against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“Federal Court”), requesting a preliminary injunction in aid of the arbitration. In both forums, Faiveley sought to prevent the Company from manufacturing and selling the subject components until the arbitration panel decides Faiveley’s claim. In the arbitration, Faiveley also sought monetary damages.

In the Federal Court action, Faiveley Malmo’s request for a preliminary injunction was initially granted, in part, on August 22, 2008. That injunction was vacated by the appellate court on March 9, 2009, and the case was remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. On remand, Faiveley Malmo renewed its request for injunctive relief. The District Court denied that request on August 31, 2009, and Faiveley Malmo appealed that denial to the appellate court. Faiveley Malmo later voluntarily dismissed that appeal.

In the international arbitration proceeding, Faiveley Malmo originally alleged $128 million in damages, but later reduced its claim to $91 million in damages. The Company has stated that Faiveley Malmo’s claims were grossly overstated, not supported by the facts or circumstances surrounding the case, and frivolous in most respects. An ICC International Court of Arbitration Arbitral Tribunal heard the case during the first half of 2009 and issued an award dated December 21, 2009. Pursuant to the Award, the Company was required to make a $3.9 million royalty payment to Faiveley Malmo, with respect to Faiveley Malmo’s claims against the Company alleging breach of contract and trade secret violations. Faiveley Malmo’s parent company, Faiveley Transport, stated that other Faiveley entities were considering filing claims against the Company arising from the same allegations.

On May 14, 2010, Faiveley Transport USA, Inc., Faiveley Transport Nordic AB, Faiveley Transport Amiens S.A.S, and Ellcon National, Inc. filed a complaint against Wabtec Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. That complaint was amended on June 8, 2010. The claims in the amended complaint include misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair competition, tortious interference with prospective business relations, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage, and unjust enrichment. On June 25, 2010, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Faiveley entities’ amended complaint in its entirety. That motion to dismiss was denied. In November 2010, the plaintiffs asserted a claim for $17.2 million in compensatory and other unspecified damages. On December 10, 2010 the Company filed a motion for summary judgment and the plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment. Briefing on those motions was completed on December 29, 2010 and oral argument was heard on January 7, 2011. On April 13, 2011, a judge issued an order, without an opinion, that granted the plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment on three of their four claims and denied Wabtec’s motion for summary judgment. A jury trial on damages took place from June 20, 2011 to June 28, 2011, and the jury awarded the plaintiffs $18.1 million. On July 29, 2011, after considering post-trial motions on prejudgment interest and on potential adjustments to the jury’s award, the Court entered a final verdict in the amount of $18.1 million, plus interest. The Company intends to appeal the verdict. The Company recorded a charge in the second quarter in the amount of $18.1 million.

The Company is subject to a number of other commitments and contingencies as described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed on February 25, 2011. During the first six months of 2011, there were no material changes other than what is discussed above to the information described in Note 18 therein.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Wabtec has two reportable segments—the Freight Group and the Transit Group. The key factors used to identify these reportable segments are the organization and alignment of the Company’s internal operations, the nature of the products and services, and customer type. The business segments are:

Freight Group primarily manufactures and services components for new and existing freight cars and locomotives, builds new switcher locomotives, rebuilds freight locomotives, supplies railway electronics, positive train control equipment, signal design and engineering services, friction products, and provides related heat exchange and cooling systems. Customers include large railroads, leasing companies, manufacturers of original equipment such as locomotives and freight cars, and utilities.

Transit Group primarily manufactures and services components for new and existing passenger transit vehicles, typically subway cars and buses, builds new commuter locomotives, friction products, and refurbishes subway cars. Customers include public transit authorities and municipalities, leasing companies, and manufacturers of subway cars and buses around the world.

The Company evaluates its business segments’ operating results based on income from operations. Corporate activities include general corporate expenses, elimination of intersegment transactions, interest income and expense and other unallocated charges. Since certain administrative and other operating expenses and other items have not been allocated to business segments, the results in the following tables are not necessarily a measure computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other companies.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein and Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation’s Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2011.

OVERVIEW

Wabtec is one of the world’s largest providers of value-added, technology-based products and services for the global rail industry. Our products are found on virtually all U.S. locomotives, freight cars and passenger transit vehicles, as well as in approximately 100 countries throughout the world. Our products enhance safety, improve productivity and reduce maintenance costs for customers, and many of our core products and services are essential in the safe and efficient operation of freight rail and passenger transit vehicles. Wabtec is a global company with operations in 17 countries. In the first six months of 2011, about 47% of the Company’s revenues came from customers outside the U.S.

Management Review and Future Outlook

Wabtec’s long-term financial goals are to generate cash flow in excess of net income, maintain a strong credit profile while minimizing our overall cost of capital, increase margins through strict attention to cost controls and implementation of the Wabtec Performance System, and increase revenues through a focused growth strategy, including global and market expansion, new products and technologies, aftermarket products and services, and acquisitions. In addition, Management evaluates the Company’s current operational performance through measures such as quality and on-time delivery.

The Company monitors a variety of factors and statistics to gauge market activity. The North America freight rail industry is largely driven by general economic conditions, which can cause fluctuations in rail traffic. Based on those fluctuations, railroads can increase or decrease purchases of new locomotives and freight cars. In 2010, U.S. freight rail traffic increased due to the improving overall economy. According to the Association of American Railroads, in 2010, revenue ton-miles increased 8.5%, carloadings increased 7.3% and intermodal loadings increased 14.2%, compared to the same period of 2009, as rail traffic rebounded strongly from the 2008-09 economic recession. Through mid-July 2011, revenue ton-miles were up 3.5%, carloadings were up 2.4% and intermodal loadings were up 7.2%, compared to the same period of 2010. This has had a favorable effect on the Company’s Freight Group, with increased demand for new locomotives and freight cars, and for aftermarket products and services. About 15% of the Company’s revenues are directly related to deliveries of new freight cars, so the improvement in that market has had a favorable effect on the Company’s financial results. Whether demand continues to improve will depend largely on continued strength in the overall economy and in rail traffic volumes.

In 2008, the U.S. government enacted rail safety legislation that requires certain freight and passenger railroads to equip certain locomotives with positive train control technology by the end of 2015. This technology includes an on-board locomotive computer and related software, which are being developed by Wabtec. As the industry leader, Wabtec expects to benefit from increased sales of train control-related products and engineering services as the technology is deployed throughout the industry. PTC revenue was about $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

The North American transit rail industry is driven by government spending and ridership. According to the American Public Transportation Association, spending under SAFETEA-LU, the federal government’s transportation funding bill increased about 6% in 2009 and remained consistent in 2010, while ridership

 

30


Table of Contents

decreased about 4% and 1% in 2009 and 2010, respectively, due to the recession and its impact on employment levels. Ridership increased 1.6% in the first quarter of 2011, the first quarterly increase since the fourth quarter of 2008. Although SAFETEA-LU expired in September 2009, the bill has been extended through September 2011, with funding at about 2009 levels. Spending in 2011 is expected to remain at about current levels at least until a new bill has been passed.

In 2011, market conditions have improved in the North America freight rail market and are stable in the North America passenger transit market. Demand for new freight cars and locomotives is higher, due to increasing freight rail traffic. In the passenger transit market, the Company believes that stable federal funding and ridership has resulted in stable demand for new equipment and aftermarket parts; however, most government entities at all levels are facing budget issues, which could have a negative effect on demand for the Company’s products and services.

Wabtec continues to expand its presence in freight rail and passenger transit markets outside the U.S., particularly in Europe, Asia-Pacific and South America. In Europe, the majority of the rail system serves the passenger transit market, which is larger than the transit market in the U.S. Our presence in the U.K., Germany and Italy has positioned the Company to take advantage of this market. Asia-Pacific is a growth market and our various joint ventures and direct exports to China have positioned the Company to take advantage of this growth. Economic growth in Australia has been an area of expansion for the Company as commodity suppliers use our products to meet the demands of their regional customers. Recently, the Company has announced a contract and an acquisition in Brazil, allowing us to expand our presence in that market.

In 2011 and beyond, unfavorable general economic and market conditions in the United States and internationally could have a negative impact on our sales and operations. To the extent that these factors cause instability of capital markets, shortages of raw materials or component parts, longer sales cycles, deferral or delay of customer orders or an inability to market our products effectively, our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In addition, we face risks associated with our four-point growth strategy including the level of investment that customers are willing to make in new technologies developed by the industry and the Company, and risks inherent in global expansion. When necessary, we will modify our financial and operating strategies to reflect changes in market conditions and risks.

Net income attributable to Wabtec shareholders

   $ 36,334       $ 31,211         16.4

Net sales increased by $104.8 million to $478.9 million from $374.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase is due to increased freight original equipment and aftermarket sales of $75.8 million and sales related to acquisitions of $37.1 million. Partially offsetting this increase was primarily lower sales for the build of transit locomotives of $29.4 million. The Company realized a net sales increase of $16.0 million and an income from operations increase of $2.5 million due to favorable effects of foreign exchange. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $36.4 million or $0.75 per diluted share. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $31.2 million or $0.65 per diluted share. Net income increased due to higher sales volume.

Freight Group sales increased by $90.0 million, or 47.4%, due to higher sales of $59.4 million for electronics and specialty products, $9.3 million for brake products and $9.2 million from acquisitions. For the Freight Group, net sales increased by $5.0 million due to favorable effects of foreign exchange on sales mentioned above.

Transit Group sales increased by $14.7 million, or 8.0%, due to increased sales of $27.9 million from acquisitions and $10.3 million for electronics and specialty products, partially offset by decreased sales of $29.4 million for the build of locomotives and a $7.3 million decrease for transit products, due to the completion of major contracts, as well as project delays and budget constraints at municipal transit authorities. For the Transit Group, net sales were increased by $11.0 million due to favorable effects of foreign exchange on sales mentioned above.

Gross profit Gross profit, which is dependent on a number of factors including pricing, sales volume and product mix, increased to $142.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $113.4 million in the same period of 2010. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 29.8% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 30.3%, for the second quarter of 2010, mainly due to mix of products. The provision for warranty expense is generally established for specific losses, along with historical estimates of customer claims as a percentage of sales, which can cause variability in warranty expense between quarters. Warranty expense was $3.1 million lower in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 due primarily to decreased warranty expense related to certain transit contracts. The warranty reserve recorded on the balance sheet was $15.4 million higher at June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010. This is due to assuming opening balance sheet warranty reserves of $12.0 million from 2011 acquisitions.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $22.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 because of an $18.1 million charge for a court ruling, acquisitions, and incentive and non-cash compensation, partially offset by a benefit of $2.4 million from a settlement related to a prior acquisition. Engineering expense decreased by $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 as the company focused engineering resources on completing original equipment contracts which caused the related engineering costs to be charged to cost of sales. Amortization expense increased in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 due to amortization of intangibles associated with acquisitions. Total operating expenses were 18.0% and 17.1% of sales for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income from operations Income from operations totaled $56.4 million (or 11.8% of sales) in the second quarter of 2011 compared with $49.6 million (or 13.3% of sales) in the same period of 2010. Income from operations increased due to higher sales volume and operating margins, and a benefit from a settlement related to a prior acquisition, partially offset by a charge for a court ruling.

Interest expense, net Overall interest expense, net, decreased due to higher interest income on higher invested cash balances.

Other income (expense), net The Company recorded foreign exchange losses of $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2011 and foreign exchange gains of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, due to the effect of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions that are non U.S. dollar denominated and charged or credited to earnings.

Income taxes The effective income tax rate was 30.3% and 33.1% for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate is due primarily to a $1.7 million benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2011 relating to settlements with taxing authorities and the expiration of statutory review periods in various taxing jurisdictions.

Net income Net income for the second quarter of 2011 increased $5.1 million, compared with the same period of 2010. The increase in net income is due to higher sales volume, a benefit from a settlement related to a prior acquisition, and a tax benefit from the successful resolution of certain outstanding tax issues from prior years, partially offset by a charge for a court ruling.

Net sales increased by $196.1 million to $934.1 million from $738.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase is due to increased freight original equipment and aftermarket sales of $150.9 million and sales related to acquisitions of $70.6 million. Partially offsetting this increase was primarily lower sales for the build of transit locomotives of $39.6 million. The Company realized a net sales increase of $18.0 million and an income from operations increase of $2.5 million due to favorable effects of foreign exchange. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $77.3 million or $1.60 per diluted share. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $61.6 million or $1.28 per diluted share. Net income increased due to higher sales volume.

Freight Group sales increased by $189.7 million, or 53.4%, due to higher sales of $121.6 million for electronics and specialty products, $30.4 million from acquisitions and $21.4 million for brake products. For the Freight Group, net sales increased by $8.4 million due to favorable effects of foreign exchange on sales mentioned above.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $32.9 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 because of an $18.1 million charge for a court ruling, acquisitions, and incentive and non-cash compensation, partially offset by a benefit of $2.4 million from a settlement related to a prior acquisition. Engineering expense decreased by $3.1 million in the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010 as the Company focused engineering resources on completing original equipment contracts which caused the related engineering costs to be charged to cost of sales. Amortization expense increased in the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 due to amortization of intangibles associated with acquisitions. Total operating expenses were 16.4% of sales for the first six months of 2011 and 2010.

Income from operations Income from operations totaled $122.7 million (or 13.1% of sales) in the first six months of 2011 compared with $100.8 million (or 13.7% of sales) in the same period of 2010. Income from operations increased due to higher sales volume and operating margins, a benefit from a settlement related to a prior acquisition, partially offset by a charge for a court ruling.

Interest expense, net Overall interest expense, net, decreased due to higher interest income on higher invested cash balances.

Other income (expense), net The Company recorded foreign exchange losses of $0.3 million in the first six months of 2011 and foreign exchange gains of $0.3 million in the first six months of 2010, due to the effect of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions that are non U.S. dollar denominated and charged or credited to earnings.

Income taxes The effective income tax rate was 33.0% and 33.9% for the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate is due primarily to a $1.7 million benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2011 relating to settlements with taxing authorities and the expiration of statutory review periods in various taxing jurisdictions.

Net income Net income for the first six months of 2011 increased $15.7 million, compared with the same period of 2010. The increase in net income is due to higher sales volume, a benefit from a settlement related to a prior acquisition, and a tax benefit from the successful resolution of certain outstanding tax issues from prior years, partially offset by a charge for a court ruling and higher income tax expense.

Investing activities In the first six months of 2011 and 2010, cash used in investing activities was $64.3 million and $44.5 million, respectively. Net cash paid for acquisitions was $51.8 million and $39.9 million for the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Refer to Note 3 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information on acquisitions. Capital expenditures were $12.8 million and $7.0 million in the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Financing activities In the first six months of 2011, cash used in financing activities was $25.1 million, which included $79.0 million in proceeds from debt and $75.0 million of repayments of debt on the revolving credit facility, $29.8 million of debt repayments on the term loan and other debt, $1.0 million of dividend payments and $6.2 million for the repurchase of 95,000 shares of stock. In the first six months of 2010, cash provided by financing activities was $13.6 million, which included $166.4 million in proceeds from debt and $125.4 million of repayments of debt on the revolving credit facility, $24.8 million of debt repayments on the term loan and other debt, $1.0 million of dividend payments and $6.3 million for the repurchase of 154,600 shares of stock.

2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement

On November 4, 2008, the Company refinanced its existing unsecured revolving credit agreement with a consortium of commercial banks. This “2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement” provides the company with a $300 million five-year revolving credit facility and a $200 million five-year term loan facility. The Company incurred $2.9 million of deferred financing cost related to the 2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement. Both facilities expire in January 2013. The 2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement borrowings bear variable interest rates. At June 30, 2011, the Company had available bank borrowing capacity of approximately $113.1 million, net of $48.9 million of letters of credit, subject to certain financial covenant restrictions.

Refer to Note 6 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the 2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement.

6.875% Senior Notes Due August 2013

In August 2003, the Company issued $150 million of Senior Notes due in 2013 (“the Notes”). The Notes were issued at par. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 6.875% per annum and is payable semi-annually on January 31 and July 31 of each year. The proceeds were used to repay debt outstanding under the Company’s existing credit agreement, and for general corporate purposes. The principal balance is due in full at maturity. The Company is in compliance with the restrictions and covenants in the indenture under which the Notes were issued and expects that these restrictions and covenants will not be any type of limiting factor in executing our operating activities. Refer to Note 6 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the Notes.

Management believes that based on current levels of operations and forecasted earnings, cash flow and liquidity will be sufficient to fund working capital and capital equipment needs as well as meeting debt service requirements. If sources of funds were to fail to satisfy the Company’s cash requirements, the Company may need to refinance our existing debt or obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that such new financing alternatives would be available, and, in any case, such new financing, if available, may be more costly and burdensome than the debt agreements currently in place.

Company Stock Repurchase Plan

On May 11, 2011, the Board of Directors increased its stock repurchase authorization to $150 million of the Company’s outstanding shares. Through June 30, 2011 purchases have totaled $6.2 million, leaving $143.8 million under the authorization. The new share repurchase authorization supersedes the previous authorization of $150 million of which $39.4 million was remaining.

The Company intends to purchase shares on the open market or in negotiated or block trades. No time limit was set for the completion of the programs which conforms to the requirements under the 2008 Refinancing Credit Agreement, as well as the 6.875% Senior Notes currently outstanding.

During the first six months of 2011, the Company repurchased 95,000 shares of its stock at an average price of $65.14 per share. During 2010, the Company repurchased 206,560 shares of its stock at an average price of $40.57 per share. All purchases were on the open market.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2011, the Company has recognized a total liability of $7.8 million for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. At this time, the Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of cash settlement for any of the unrecognized tax benefits due to the uncertainty of the timing and outcome of its audits and other factors.

Since December 31, 2010, there have been no other significant changes in the total amount of the Company’s contractual obligations or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies

A summary of critical accounting policies is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. In particular, judgment is used in areas such as accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, warranty reserves, pensions and postretirement benefits, income taxes and revenue recognition. There have been no significant changes in accounting policies since December 31, 2010.

 

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

In the ordinary course of business, Wabtec is exposed to risks that increases in interest rates may adversely affect funding costs associated with its variable-rate debt. The Company’s variable rate debt represents 27% and 32% of total long-term debt at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. On an annual basis a 1% change in the interest rate for variable rate debt at June 30, 2011 would increase or decrease interest expense by $1.1 million. To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on a portion of this variable-rate debt, the Company entered into interest rate swaps which effectively converted a portion of the debt from variable to fixed-rate borrowings during the term of the swap contracts. Refer to “Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities” in Note 2 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The Company is subject to certain risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates to the extent our operations are conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For the first six months of 2011, approximately 53% of Wabtec’s net sales were to customers in the United States, 10% in the United Kingdom, 8% in Canada, 5% in Australia, 5% in Mexico, 2% in Germany and 17% in other international locations. To reduce the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, the Company has periodically entered into foreign currency forward contracts. Refer to “Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities” in Note 2 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information regarding foreign currency exchange risk.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Wabtec’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of Wabtec’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of June 30, 2011. Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that Wabtec’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Wabtec in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Wabtec in such reports is accumulated and communicated to Wabtec’s Management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in Wabtec’s “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Wabtec’s internal control over financial reporting.
