Current report
The Company’s operations consist of two operating and reportable segments, Manufacturing and Aftermarket. The Company identifies reportable segments based on differences in products and services. The Company’s Manufacturing segment includes new railcar manufacturing, used railcar sales, and major conversions and rebodies. The Company’s Aftermarket segment includes the selling of forged, cast and fabricated railcar parts and supplies for all railcar types, and provides aftermarket services including safety training, railcar inspections, and preventative maintenance.
Current report
Our Manufacturing segment revenues are generated primarily from sales of the railcars that we manufacture. Our Manufacturing segment sales depend on industry demand for new railcars, which is driven by overall economic conditions and the demand for railcar transportation of various products such as steel products, minerals, cement, motor vehicles, forest products, agricultural commodities and coal. Our Manufacturing segment sales are also affected by competitive market pressures that impact our market share, the prices for our railcars and by the types of railcars sold. Our Manufacturing segment revenues also include revenues from railcar conversions and rebodies. Our Aftermarket segment revenues are generated primarily from sales of forged, cast and fabricated railcar parts and supplies for all railcar types.
Current report
The variable purchase patterns of our customers and the timing of completion, delivery and customer acceptance may cause our revenues and income from operations to vary substantially each quarter, which will result in significant fluctuations in our quarterly results. Further, recent changes to United States and foreign trade policies, including the imposition of new tariffs, have created increased geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. Future changes in governmental and economic policies could impact our cost structure, demand for our products and results of operation. We continue to actively monitor new global trade policies and remain focused on strategic initiatives to drive operational efficiencies.

Operating Activities. Our net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reflects net loss adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash flows from operating activities are affected by several factors, including fluctuations in business volume, contract terms for billings and collections, the timing of collections on our contract receivables, processing of payroll and associated taxes, payments to our suppliers and other operating activities. As some of our customers accept delivery of new railcars in train-set quantities, variations in our sales could lead to significant fluctuations in our operating profits and cash from operating activities.
