Current report

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $62 million, or 2.3%, to $2.71 billion compared to the same period in 2024. Organic sales increased $24 million which was attributable to the Transit Segment, partially offset by the Freight Segment. Transit sales increased from higher demand for Original Equipment Manufacturing and Aftermarket products and services driven by increased investments in sustainable infrastructure, fleet expansion and renewals and increased passenger ridership levels. Freight Components sales decreased primarily due to lower North America rail car build and the exit of low margin business offerings through Portfolio Optimization. Freight Equipment sales decreased primarily due to lower mining sales and lower locomotive deliveries due to a supplied part issue. Freight Services sales increased from higher deliveries of locomotive modernizations and higher parts sales. Sales from acquisitions contributed $27 million, and favorable changes in foreign exchange increased Net sales by $11 million.

Current report

Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $2 million, or 0.1%, to $1.77 billion compared to the same period in 2024. Cost of sales as a percentage of Net sales was 65.3% and 67.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
