(In thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1 – Description of the Business

FreightCar America, Inc. (“FreightCar”) operates primarily in North America through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, JAC Operations, Inc. (“Operations”), Johnstown America, LLC (“JA LLC”), Freight Car Services, Inc. (“FCS”), JAIX Leasing Company (“JAIX”), FreightCar Roanoke, LLC (“FCR”), FreightCar Mauritius Ltd. (“Mauritius”), FreightCar Rail Services, LLC (“FCRS”), FreightCar Rail Management Services, LLC (“FCRMS”), FreightCar Short Line, Inc. (“Short Line”) and FreightCar Alabama, LLC (“FCAL”) (herein collectively referred to as the “Company”), and manufactures railroad freight cars, supplies railcar parts, leases freight cars and provides railcar maintenance, repairs and management. The Company designs and builds coal cars, bulk commodity cars, flat cars, mill gondola cars, intermodal cars, coil steel cars and motor vehicle carriers. The Company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and has facilities in the following locations: Clinton, Indiana; Cherokee, Alabama; Danville, Illinois; Lakewood, Colorado; Grand Island, Nebraska; Hastings, Nebraska; Johnstown, Pennsylvania; and Roanoke, Virginia. The Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are all Delaware corporations or Delaware limited liability companies except Mauritius, which is incorporated in Mauritius. The Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries are all wholly owned.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FreightCar America, Inc. and subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The foregoing financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying interim financial information is unaudited; however, the Company believes the financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. The 2012 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2012. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 requires entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, entities are required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, entities are required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail on these amounts. This standard is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2012. The adoption of these changes had no impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Note 4 – Segment Information

The Company’s operations comprise two reportable segments, Manufacturing and Services. The Company’s Manufacturing segment includes new railcar manufacturing, used railcar sales, railcar leasing and major railcar rebuilds. The Company’s Services segment includes general railcar repair and maintenance, inspections, parts sales and railcar fleet management services. Corporate includes selling, general and administrative expenses not related to production of goods and services, retiree pension and other postretirement benefit costs, and all other non-operating activity.

Segment operating income is an internal performance measure used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker to assess the performance of each segment in a given period. Segment operating income includes all external revenues attributable to the segments as well as operating costs and income that management believes are directly attributable to the current production of goods and services. The Company’s management reporting package does not include interest revenue, interest expense or income taxes allocated to individual segments and these items are not considered as a component of segment operating income. Segment assets represent operating assets and exclude intersegment accounts, deferred tax assets and income tax receivables. The Company does not allocate cash and cash equivalents to its operating segments as the Company’s treasury function is managed at the corporate level. Intersegment revenues were not material in any period presented.

Note 11 – Revolving Credit Facility

On July 26, 2013, the Company entered into a new $50,000 senior secured revolving credit facility and cancelled its previous credit facility. The new revolving credit facility can be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital. As of August 9, 2013, the Company had no borrowings under the new revolving credit facility. The new revolving credit facility also contains a sub-facility for letters of credit not to exceed the lesser of $30,000 and the amount of the senior secured revolving credit facility at such time. The Company had no outstanding letters of credit under the new revolving credit facility as of August 9, 2013.

The Company entered into the new revolving credit facility pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated July 26, 2013 (the “Revolving Loan Agreement”) by and among FreightCar and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers and guarantors (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), and Bank of America, N.A., as lender. The Revolving Loan Agreement has a term ending on July 26, 2016 and revolving loans outstanding thereunder will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.50% or at a base rate, as selected by the Company. Base rate loans will bear interest at the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate or (c) LIBOR plus 1.00%. The Company is required to pay a non-utilization fee of between 0.10% and 0.30% on the unused portion of the revolving loan commitment depending on the Company’s quarterly average balance of unrestricted cash and the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Revolving Loan Agreement are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets excluding railcars held by its railcar leasing subsidiary, JAIX. The Borrowers also agreed to pledge all of the equity interests in the Company’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries. The Revolving Loan Agreement has both affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, a minimum consolidated net liquidity requirement of $35,000 and limitations on indebtedness, liens and investments. The Revolving Loan Agreement also provides for customary events of default.

The Revolving Loan Agreement replaces the Company’s prior revolving credit facility pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 29, 2010 among FreightCar and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), and Fifth Third Bank, as lender (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), which was terminated and cancelled effective July 26, 2013.

The Prior Credit Agreement consisted of a $30,000 senior secured revolving credit facility and a sub-facility for letters of credit not to exceed $20,000. The Prior Credit Agreement had a term ending on July 29, 2013 and bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.50% or at prime, as selected by the Company. The Company was required to pay a non-utilization fee of 0.35% on the unused portion of the revolving loan commitment under the Prior Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Prior Credit Agreement were secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets of the Company, and borrowing availability was tied to a borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The Prior Credit Agreement had both affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, a minimum tangible net worth covenant and limitations on indebtedness, liens and investments.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no borrowings and therefore had $30,000 available under the Prior Credit Agreement. The Company had no outstanding letters of credit under the Prior Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Note 12 – Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for stock option awards based on the fair value of the award on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Expected life in years for all stock options awards was determined using the simplified method. The Company believes that it is appropriate to use the simplified method in determining the expected life for options because the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term for stock options and due to the limited number of stock option grants to date. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury bond rate for the expected life of the option. The expected dividend yield was based on the latest annualized dividend rate and the current market price of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation for restricted stock awards over the vesting period based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of the award, calculated as the average of the high and low trading prices for the Company’s common stock on the award date.

On January 14, 2013, the Company awarded 3,250 non-qualified stock options to an executive of the Company pursuant to its 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan. The stock options will vest in three equal annual installments beginning on January 14, 2014 and have a contractual term of 10 years. The exercise price of each option is $24.27, which was the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. The estimated fair value of $10.70 per option will be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is the vesting period. The following assumptions were used to value the January 14, 2013 stock options: expected lives of the options of 6 years; expected volatility of 51.36%; risk-free interest rate of 0.78%; and expected dividend yield of 0.98%.

On January 18, 2013, the Company awarded 96,800 non-qualified stock options to certain employees of the Company pursuant to its 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan. The stock options will vest in three equal annual installments beginning on January 18, 2014 and have a contractual term of 10 years. The exercise price of each option is $24.56, which was the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. The estimated fair value of $10.82 per option will be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is the vesting period. The following assumptions were used to value the January 18, 2013 stock options: expected lives of the options of 6 years; expected volatility of 51.38%; risk-free interest rate of 0.77%; and expected dividend yield of 0.99%.

On May 1, 2013, the Company awarded 1,660 non-qualified stock options to an executive of the Company pursuant to its 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan. The stock options will vest in three equal annual installments beginning on May 1, 2014 and have a contractual term of 10 years. The exercise price of each option is $20.39, which was the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. The estimated fair value of $8.79 per option will be recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is the vesting period. The following assumptions were used to value the May 1, 2013 stock options: expected lives of the options of 6 years; expected volatility of 51.43%; risk-free interest rate of 0.65%; and expected dividend yield of 1.19%.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company awarded 50,365 shares of restricted stock to certain employees of the Company pursuant to its 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan. Each restricted stock award will vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the award date, with continued vesting of the award subject to the recipient’s continued employment with the Company. Stock compensation expense will be recognized over the vesting period based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of the award, calculated as the average of the high and low trading prices for the Company’s common stock on the award date.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company awarded 15,270 shares of restricted stock to certain individuals for service on the Company’s board of directors pursuant to its 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan. Each restricted stock award will vest on the earlier of May 17, 2014 or the last trading day before the date of the Company’s 2014 annual meeting of stockholders. Stock compensation expense will be recognized over the vesting period based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of the award, calculated as the average of the high and low trading prices for the Company’s common stock on the award date.

As of June 30, 2013, there was $3,234 of unearned compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock awards, which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period of 34 months.

Note 13 – Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has qualified, defined benefit pension plans that were established to provide benefits to certain employees. These plans are frozen and participants are no longer accruing benefits. The Company also provides certain postretirement health care benefits for certain of its salaried and hourly retired employees. Generally, employees may become eligible for health care benefits if they retire after attaining specified age and service requirements. These benefits are subject to deductibles, co-payment provisions and other limitations.

A substantial portion of the Company’s postretirement benefit plan obligation relates to a settlement with the union representing employees at the Company’s and its predecessors’ Johnstown manufacturing facilities. The terms of that settlement agreement required the Company to pay until November 30, 2012 certain monthly amounts toward the cost of retiree health care coverage. The Company engaged in voluntary negotiations for two years in an effort to reach a consensual agreement related to the expired settlement agreement but no agreements were reached. In July 2013, the Company provided notice of its intent to terminate, effective October 1, 2013, its contributions for medical coverage and life insurance benefits to affected retirees. On July 8, 2013, the Company filed a complaint seeking declaratory relief from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois to confirm its rights to reduce or terminate retiree medical coverage and life insurance benefits pursuant to the plans that were the subject of the prior settlement agreement, and on July 9, 2013, the union and certain retiree defendants filed suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania regarding the same dispute (See Note 14). The outcome of the pending litigation and the impact on the Company’s postretirement benefit plan obligation cannot be determined at this time. The Company’s recorded postretirement benefit plan obligation assumes for accounting purposes a continuation of those monthly payments after November 30, 2012 (as permitted under the settlement). However, the Company’s postretirement benefit plan obligation could significantly increase or decrease as a result of the litigation or if the parties agree to an alternative settlement agreement.

Generally, contributions to the plans are not less than the minimum amounts required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and not more than the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. The plans’ assets are held by independent trustees and consist primarily of equity and fixed income securities.

The components of net periodic benefit cost (benefit) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, are as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Pension Benefits
Interest cost	$	632		$	725		$	1,264		$	1,450

Amortization of unrecognized net loss		131			126			262			252

	$	(124	)	$	(11	)	$	(248	)	$	(22	)


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013			2012			2013			2012
Postretirement Benefit Plan
Service cost	$	18		$	16		$	36		$	32
Interest cost		657			755			1,314			1,510
Amortization of prior service cost		60			60			120			120
Amortization of unrecognized net loss		153			93			307			187

	$	888		$	924		$	1,777		$	1,849

Amortization of unrecognized net loss for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans was reclassified to income, from accumulated other comprehensive income, of which $118 and $13 was recognized in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2013, and $77 and $49 was recognized in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Amortization

of unrecognized net loss for the Company’s defined benefit pension plans was reclassified to income, from accumulated other comprehensive income, of which $236 and $26 was recognized in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and $154 and $98 was recognized in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company made contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans of $61 and $513 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $61 and $1,556 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company expects to make $759 in contributions to its pension plans in 2013 to meet its minimum funding requirements.

Amortization of prior service cost for the Company’s postretirement benefit plan was reclassified to income, from accumulated other comprehensive income, of which $57 and $3 was recognized in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $57 and $3 was recognized in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Amortization of unrecognized net loss for the Company’s postretirement benefit plan was reclassified to income, from accumulated other comprehensive income, of which $146 and $7 was recognized in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $88 and $5 was recognized in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Amortization of prior service cost for the Company’s postretirement benefit plan was reclassified to income, from accumulated other comprehensive income, of which $114 and $6 was recognized in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and $113 and $7 was recognized in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Amortization of unrecognized net loss for the Company’s postretirement benefit plan was reclassified to income, from accumulated other comprehensive income, of which $292 and $15 was recognized in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and $176 and $11 was recognized in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company made payments to the Company’s postretirement benefit plan of approximately $1,277 and $1,222 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $2,469 and $2,535 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. When the Company terminates, effective October 1, 2013, its contributions to fund its postretirement benefit plan, then the Company would make approximately $2,924 in payments to the plan in 2013. The Company would have made approximately $4,946 in payments to the plan in 2013 based on the expired settlement agreement.

The Company also maintains qualified defined contribution plans, which provide benefits to employees based on employee contributions, employee earnings or certain subsidiary earnings, with discretionary contributions allowed. Expenses related to these plans were $332 and $525 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $880 and $966 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Note 14 – Contingencies

The Company is involved in various warranty and repair claims and, in certain cases, related pending and threatened legal proceedings with its customers in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company’s potential losses in excess of the accrued warranty and legal provisions, if any, are not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On July 8, 2013, the Company filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment (the “Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “Illinois Court”). The case names as defendants the United Steel, Paper & Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial & Services Workers International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC (the “USW”), as well as approximately 650 individual Retiree Defendants (as defined in the Complaint), and has been assigned Case No 1:13-cv-4889.

As described in the Complaint, pursuant to a prior settlement agreement among the Company, the USW and the Retiree Defendants, the Company agreed to make certain levels of contributions to medical coverage for the Retiree Defendants and to continue to provide life insurance benefits at their amount at that time under certain of the Company’s employee welfare benefit plans. The settlement agreement expressly provided that, as of November 30, 2012, the Company could cease making these contributions. In June 2011, the Company and the USW began discussing the possibility of an extension beyond November 30, 2012 for the Company’s contributions to retiree medical coverage and life insurance benefits at a reduced amount and on other mutually acceptable terms. The Company engaged in voluntary negotiations for two years with the USW and counsel for the Retiree Defendants in an effort to reach a consensual agreement regarding such medical and life insurance benefits, but the parties were unable to reach a final agreement. The Company is terminating, effective October 1, 2013, its contributions for medical coverage provided to the Retiree Defendants and the provision of life insurance benefits and is seeking declaratory relief from the Illinois Court to confirm its rights under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, to reduce or terminate retiree medical coverage and life insurance benefits pursuant to the plans that were the subject of the prior settlement agreement.

On July 9, 2013, the USW and certain Retiree Defendants filed a putative class action in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (the “Pennsylvania Court”), captioned as Zanghi, et al. v. FreightCar America, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:13-cv-146. The complaint filed with the Pennsylvania Court alleges that the Company does not have the right to terminate welfare benefits previously provided to the Retiree Defendants and requests, among other relief, entry of a judgment finding that the Retiree Defendants have a vested right to specified welfare benefits.

On July 26, 2013, the USW filed with the Illinois Court a Motion to Dismiss Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b) or in the Alternative, to Transfer Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1404(a), as well as a Motion to Stay and/or Prevent Plaintiff from Obtaining Defaults against the Retiree Defendants. On August 5, 2013, the Company filed with the Pennsylvania Court a Motion to Dismiss Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b) or in the Alternative, to Transfer Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1404(a). Both the Illinois Court and the Pennsylvania Court have established briefing schedules relating to the respective motions to dismiss and/or transfer venue.

As noted in the Company’s audited financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company has recorded postretirement benefit plan obligations, a substantial portion of which relates to the dispute now before the Illinois Court and the Pennsylvania Court (see Note 13).

On September 29, 2008, Bral Corporation, a supplier of certain railcar parts to the Company, filed a complaint against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (the “Pennsylvania Lawsuit”). The complaint alleged that the Company breached an exclusive supply agreement with Bral by purchasing parts from CMN Components, Inc. (“CMN”) and sought damages in an unspecified amount, attorneys’ fees and other legal costs. On December 14, 2007, Bral sued CMN in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, alleging among other things that CMN interfered in the business relationship between Bral and the Company (the “Illinois Lawsuit”) and seeking damages in an unspecified amount, attorneys’ fees and other legal costs. On October 22, 2008, the Company entered into an Assignment of Claims Agreement with CMN under which CMN assigned to the Company its counterclaims against Bral in the Illinois Lawsuit and the Company agreed to defend and indemnify CMN against Bral’s claims in that lawsuit. On March 4, 2013, Bral Corporation and the Company agreed to settle the Illinois Lawsuit and the Pennsylvania Lawsuit. The settlement resulted in a $3,884 reduction in litigation reserves, which favorably impacted the Company’s results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates the potential outcome of all significant contingencies and estimates the likelihood that a future event or events will confirm the loss of an asset or incurrence of a liability. When information available prior to issuance of the Company’s financial statements indicates that in management’s judgment, it is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, the contingency is accrued by a charge to income.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company is involved in certain other pending and threatened legal proceedings, including commercial disputes and workers’ compensation and employee matters arising out of the conduct of its business. While the ultimate outcome of these other legal proceedings cannot be determined at this time, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these other actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 15 – Other Commitments

The Company leases certain property and equipment under long-term operating leases expiring at various dates through 2024. On February 19, 2013, the Company subleased space at a production facility located in the Shoals region of Alabama. The Company operates approximately 543,399 square feet of a 2,150,000-square foot facility located on approximately 700 acres of land. The subleased premises includes production lines, an assembly area, storage and fabrication areas and office space. The initial term of the sublease expires on December 31, 2021 and, at the Company’s option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, may be extended for an additional 120 months.

Future minimum lease payments at June 30, 2013 are as follows:


Six months ending December 31, 2013	$	5,081
Year ending December 31, 2014		10,279
Year ending December 31, 2015		9,995
Year ending December 31, 2016		9,066
Year ending December 31, 2017		8,768
Thereafter		44,531

	$	87,720

The Company is liable for maintenance, insurance and similar costs under most of its leases and such costs are not included in the future minimum lease payments. Total rental expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, was approximately $2,394 and $808, respectively. Total rental expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, was approximately $4,217 and $1,590, respectively.

In addition, the Company has other non-cancelable agreements with its suppliers to purchase certain materials used in the manufacturing process. The commitments may vary based on the actual quantities ordered and be subject to the actual price when ordered. At June 30, 2013, the Company had purchase commitments under these agreements of $10,869 for the six months ending December 31, 2013 and $16,879 for the year ending December 31, 2014.

Note 16 – Earnings Per Share

Shares used in the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per common share are reconciled as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Weighted average common shares outstanding		11,950,652		11,931,565		11,947,058		11,927,992
Dilutive effect of employee stock options and nonvested share awards		—		52,336		—		64,816

Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding		11,950,652		11,983,901		11,947,058		11,992,808

Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and the assumed vesting of nonvested share awards. Because the Company had a net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, all stock options and shares of nonvested share awards were anti-dilutive and not included in the above calculation for that period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, there were 341,850 share- based payment awards that were anti-dilutive and not included in the above calculation.

Note 17 – Income Taxes

The income tax provision was $876 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $9,918 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The addition of the Company’s Shoals facility changed the mix of income from states in which it operates, resulting in changes to the Company’s estimated state tax apportionment and effective state tax rates. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included a provision of $1,538 resulting from applying these changes in effective state tax rates on the Company’s deferred tax balances. Additionally, projected taxable income in certain states in which the Company operates may not be sufficient to realize the full value of net operating loss carryforwards. As a result, the income tax provision also includes the recognition of a valuation allowance of $2,503 against deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards in certain states in which the Company operates. These discrete tax provisions during the six months ended June 30, 2013 were partially offset by $891 of discrete tax benefits recorded during the period associated with tax- deductible goodwill. Excluding these discrete items, the Company’s forecasted full-year effective tax rate applied against pre-tax income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 44.6%. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 39.3% and was higher than the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to a 4.6% blended state tax rate and other permanent items.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

OVERVIEW

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

We believe we are the leading manufacturer of aluminum-bodied railcars and coal cars in North America, based on the number of railcars delivered. Our railcar manufacturing facilities are located in Danville, Illinois; Roanoke, Virginia; and Cherokee, Alabama. Additionally, we refurbish and rebuild railcars and sell forged, cast and fabricated parts for all of the railcars we produce, as well as those manufactured by others. We provide railcar repair and maintenance, inspections and railcar fleet management services for all types of freight railcars through our FCRS and FCRMS subsidiaries. FCRS has repair and maintenance and inspection facilities in Clinton, Indiana, Grand Island, Nebraska and Hastings, Nebraska and services freight cars and unit coal trains utilizing key rail corridors in the Midwest and Western regions of the United States. We also lease freight cars through our JAIX Leasing Company subsidiary. Our primary customers are financial institutions, shippers and railroads.

In February 2013, we subleased approximately 25% of a state-of-the-art production facility located in the Shoals region of Alabama. Our Shoals production facility was designed to efficiently build a wide variety of railcar types and is an important part of our long-term growth strategy as we continue to expand our railcar product and service offerings outside of our traditional coal car market. While our Danville, Illinois and Roanoke, Virginia facilities will continue to support our coal car products, our Shoals facility will allow us to produce a broader variety of railcars in a cost-effective and efficient manner. In addition, the facility layout, automated production equipment, proximity to key suppliers and new supply agreements will increase our flexibility and make us more competitive in the marketplace. Deliveries of the first railcars produced at the Shoals facility are expected in the third quarter of 2013.

We have two reportable segments, Manufacturing and Services. Our Manufacturing segment includes new railcar manufacturing, used railcar sales, railcar leasing and major railcar rebuilds. Our Services segment includes general railcar repair and maintenance, inspections, parts sales and railcar fleet management services. Corporate includes administrative activities and all other non-operating costs.

Total orders for railcars in the second quarter of 2013 were 693 units, all of which were new railcars, compared to 274 units, consisting of 174 new railcars and 100 rebuilt railcars, ordered in the first quarter of 2013 and 961 units, consisting of 600 new railcars and 361 used railcars, ordered in the second quarter of 2012. Railcar deliveries totaled 710 units, consisting of 160 new railcars, 200 leased railcars and 350 rebuilt railcars, in the second quarter of 2013, compared to 1,073 units, consisting of 448 new railcars and 625 rebuilt railcars, in the first quarter of 2013 and 2,786 units, consisting of 1,815 new railcars, 361 used railcars sold and 610 leased railcars, in the second quarter of 2012. Total backlog of unfilled orders was 2,065 units, consisting of 1,040 new railcars and 1,025 rebuilt railcars, at June 30, 2013, compared to 2,881 units, consisting of 981 new railcars and 1,900 rebuilt railcars, at December 31, 2012. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, orders for over 5,500 railcars were received, which include orders for about 4,000 rebuilt coal cars to serve the Eastern coal market.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

Revenues

Our consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $47.1 million compared to $181.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Manufacturing segment revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $37.1 million compared to $171.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in Manufacturing segment revenues for the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period reflects the decrease in the number of railcars delivered and an unfavorable product mix. Services segment revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $10.1 million compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in Services segment revenues for the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period reflects higher parts sales revenue and repair volumes.

Gross Profit

Our consolidated gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.3 million compared to $17.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, representing a decrease of $14.7 million. The decrease in our consolidated gross profit for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 reflects a decrease in gross profit from our Manufacturing segment of $15.8 million, which was partially offset by an increase in gross profit from our Services segment of $0.9 million. The decrease in gross profit for our Manufacturing segment for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 reflects the decrease in deliveries and the impact of $1.9 million related to the start-up of our Shoals facility and the idling of our Danville facility in the second quarter of 2013. The increase in gross profit for our Services segment for the second quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2012 reflects higher parts sales and an increase in higher- margin program repairs. Our consolidated gross margin rate was 4.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 9.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $7.8 million compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, representing an increase of $0.2 million. Consulting costs decreased by $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 but these decreases were more than offset by various increases in other selling, general and administrative expenses. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $1.9 million compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Services segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 of $0.9 million were flat compared to the comparable period of 2012. Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $5.1 million compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 included $0.8 million related to the start-up of our Shoals facility.

Gain on Sale of Railcars Available for Lease

Gain on sale of railcars available for lease for each of the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, were not material and represented recognition of deferred gains on sale and leaseback transactions in prior periods.

Operating (Loss) Income

Our consolidated operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $5.6 million, compared to operating income of $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Operating loss for the Manufacturing segment was $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to operating income of $15.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The reduction in operating income for the Manufacturing segment reflects the decrease in deliveries and the impact of $1.9 million related to the start-up of our Shoals facility and the idling of our Danville facility in the second quarter of 2013. Services segment operating income was $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in Services segment operating income was primarily due to higher parts sales volume and higher volume of program repairs for the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period. Corporate costs were $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in Corporate costs was primarily due to a reduction in consulting costs. Corporate costs for the three months ended June 30, 2013 included $0.8 million related to the start-up of our Shoals facility.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0.1 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Interest expense primarily relates to commitment fees on our revolving credit facility and letter of credit fees.

Income Taxes

The income tax benefit was $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to an income tax provision of $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 39.4% compared to an effective tax rate of 40.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was higher than the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the 10.8% impact of changes in the valuation allowance, which was partially offset by the 3.2% benefit of changes in state tax rates applied against our deferred tax assets and other permanent adjustments. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was higher than the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to a 4.2% blended state tax rate and other permanent adjustments.

Net (Loss) Income

As a result of the foregoing, the net loss was $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, reflecting a decrease of $9.0 million from net income of $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, our basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.29 on basic and diluted shares outstanding of 11,950,652.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, our basic and diluted net income per share was $0.47 and $0.46, on basic and diluted shares outstanding of 11,931,565 and 11,983,901, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

Revenues

Our consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $134.7 million compared to $400.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Manufacturing segment revenues for the first half of 2013 were $114.8 million compared to $382.2 million for the first half of 2012. The decrease in Manufacturing segment revenues for the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period reflects the decrease in the number of railcars delivered and an unfavorable product mix. Our Manufacturing segment delivered 1,783 units, consisting of 608 new railcars, 200 leased railcars and 975 rebuilt railcars, in the first half of 2013, compared to 5,399 units, consisting of 3,961 new railcars, 441 used railcars sold and 997 leased railcars, in the first half of 2012. Services segment revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $19.9 million compared to $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in Services segment revenues for the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period reflects higher parts sales revenue and higher repair volumes.

Gross Profit

Our consolidated gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $7.2 million compared to $40.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, representing a decrease of $33.6 million. The decrease in our consolidated gross profit for the first half of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012 reflects a decrease in gross profit from our Manufacturing segment of $35.2 million, which was partially offset by an increase in gross profit from our Services segment of $1.5 million. The decrease in gross profit for our Manufacturing segment for the first half of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012 reflects the decrease in deliveries and the impact of $2.6 million related to the start-up of our Shoals facility and the idling of our Danville facility in the first half of 2013. The increase in gross profit for our Services segment for the first half of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012 reflects higher parts sales and an increase in higher margin program repairs. Our consolidated gross margin rate was 5.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to 10.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $12.3 million compared to $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, representing a decrease of $4.0 million. During the first half of 2013 we settled the Bral litigation (see note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements), which resulted in a $3.9 million reduction in litigation reserves. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 also included decreases in consulting costs. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $3.6 million compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Services segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $1.8 million compared to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $6.8 million compared to $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting the reduction in the litigation reserve (partially offset by related legal expenses) and decreases in consulting costs. Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included $0.8 million related to the start-up of our Shoals facility.

Gain on Sale of Railcars Available for Lease

Gain on sale of railcars available for lease for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were not material and represented recognition of deferred gains on sale and leaseback transactions in prior periods. Gain on sale of railcars available for lease for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $1.0 million and represented the gain on sale of leased railcars with a net book value of $10.4 million.

Operating (Loss) Income

Our consolidated operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $5.0 million, compared to consolidated operating income of $25.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Operating income for the Manufacturing segment was $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $37.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The reduction in operating income for the Manufacturing segment reflects the decrease in deliveries and the impact of $2.6 million related to the start-up of our Shoals facility and the idling of our Danville facility in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Services segment operating income was $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in Services segment operating income was primarily due to higher parts sales volume and higher volume of program repairs for the 2013 period compared to the 2012 period. Corporate costs were $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in Corporate costs was primarily due to a reduction in the litigation reserve (partially offset by related legal expenses) and decreases in consulting costs. Corporate costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included $0.8 million related to the start-up of our Shoals facility.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0.2 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and primarily related to commitment fees on our revolving credit facility and letter of credit fees.

Income Taxes

The income tax provision was $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The addition of our Shoals facility changed the mix of income from states in which we operate, resulting in changes in our estimated state tax apportionment and effective state tax rates. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included a provision of $1.5 million resulting from applying these changes in effective state tax rates on our deferred tax balances. Additionally, projected taxable income in certain states in which we operate may not be sufficient to realize the full value of net operating loss carryforwards. As a result, the income tax provision also includes the recognition of a valuation allowance of $2.5 million against deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards in certain states in which we operate. These discrete tax provisions during the six months ended June 30, 2013 were partially offset by $0.9 million of discrete tax benefits recorded during the period associated with tax- deductible goodwill. Excluding these discrete items, our forecasted full-year effective tax rate applied against pre-tax income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 44.6%. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 39.3% and was higher than the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to a 4.6% blended state tax rate and other permanent items.

Net (Loss) Income

As a result of the foregoing, net loss was $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, reflecting a decrease of $21.4 million from net income of $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, our basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.51 on basic and diluted shares outstanding of 11,947,058. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our basic and diluted net income per share was $1.28 on basic and diluted shares outstanding of 11,927,992 and 11,992,808 respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, were our cash and cash equivalent balances on hand, our securities held to maturity, our lease fleet and our revolving credit facility.

On July 26, 2013, we entered into a new $50.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility and cancelled our previous credit facility. The new revolving credit facility can be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital. As of August 9, 2013, we had no borrowings under the new revolving credit facility. The new revolving credit facility also contains a sub-facility for letters of credit not to exceed the lesser of $30.0 million and the amount of the senior secured revolving credit facility at such time. We had no outstanding letters of credit under the new revolving credit facility as of August 9, 2013.

We entered into the new revolving credit facility pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated July 26, 2013 (the “Revolving Loan Agreement”) by and among FreightCar and certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers and guarantors (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), and Bank of America, N.A., as lender. The Revolving Loan Agreement has a term ending on July 26, 2016 and revolving loans outstanding thereunder will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.50% or at a base rate, as selected by the Company. Base rate loans will bear interest at the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate or (c) LIBOR plus 1.00%. We are required to pay a non-utilization fee of between 0.10% and 0.30% on the unused portion of the revolving loan commitment depending on our quarterly average balance of unrestricted cash and the our consolidated leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Revolving Loan Agreement are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of our assets excluding railcars held by our railcar leasing subsidiary, JAIX. We also agreed to pledge all of the equity interests in our direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries. The Revolving Loan Agreement has both affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, a minimum consolidated net liquidity of $35.0 million and limitations on indebtedness, liens and investments. The Revolving Loan Agreement also provides for customary events of default.

The Revolving Loan Agreement replaces our prior revolving credit facility pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 29, 2010 among FreightCar and certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), and Fifth Third Bank, as lender (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), which was terminated and cancelled effective July 26, 2013 and otherwise would have matured on June 29, 2013. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had no borrowings or outstanding letters of credit under the Prior Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2013, we had borrowing capacity of $30.0 million under the Prior Credit Agreement and we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the agreement.

Our restricted cash balance was $3.6 million as of June 30, 2013 and $14.7 million as of December 31, 2012, and consisted of cash used to collateralize standby letters of credit with respect to performance guarantees and to support our worker’s compensation insurance claims. The standby letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2013 are scheduled to expire at various dates through December 2015. We expect to establish restricted cash balances in future periods to minimize bank fees related to standby letters of credit while maximizing our ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility.

As of June 30, 2013, the value of leased railcars was $59.8 million. We may continue to offer railcars for lease to certain customers and pursue opportunities to sell leased railcars in our portfolio.

Based on our current level of operations and known changes in planned volume based on our backlog, we believe that our cash balances and our marketable securities, together with amounts available under our revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to meet our expected liquidity needs. Our long-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance and our ability to continue to meet financial covenants under our revolving credit facility and any other indebtedness. We may also require additional capital in the future to fund working capital as demand for railcars increases, organic growth opportunities, including new plant and equipment and development of railcars, joint ventures, international expansion and acquisitions, and these capital requirements could be substantial.

Our long-term liquidity needs also depend to a significant extent on our obligations related to our pension and welfare benefit plans. We provide pension and retiree welfare benefits to certain salaried and hourly employees upon their retirement. Benefits under our pension plans are now frozen and will not be impacted by increases due to future service. The most significant assumptions used in determining our net periodic benefit costs are the discount rate used on our pension and postretirement welfare obligations and expected return on pension plan assets. As of December 31, 2012, our benefit obligation under our defined benefit pension plans and our postretirement benefit plan was $65.0 million and $69.3 million, respectively, which exceeded the fair value of plan assets by $12.2 million and $69.3 million, respectively.

We made $61,000 in contributions to our defined benefit pension plans during the first six months of 2013 and expect to make approximately $0.8 million in total contributions to our defined benefit pension plans during 2013. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 provides for changes to the method of valuing pension plan assets and liabilities for funding purposes as well as minimum funding levels. Our defined benefit pension plans are in compliance with the minimum funding levels established in the Pension Protection Act. Funding levels will be affected by future contributions, investment returns on plan assets, growth in plan liabilities and interest rates. Assuming that the plans are fully funded as that term is defined in the Pension Protection Act, we will be required to fund the ongoing growth in plan liabilities on an annual basis.

We made payments to our postretirement benefit plan of $2.5 million during the six months ended June, 2013. A substantial portion of our postretirement benefit plan obligation relates to a settlement with the union representing employees at the Company’s and its predecessors’ Johnstown manufacturing facilities. The terms of that settlement required us to pay until November 30, 2012 certain monthly amounts toward the cost of retiree health care coverage. We engaged in voluntary negotiations for two years in an effort to reach a consensual agreement related to the expired settlement agreement but no agreements were reached. In July 2013, we provided notice of our intent to terminate, effective October 1, 2013, our

contributions for medical coverage and life insurance benefits to those retirees who were receiving benefit contributions under the settlement agreement. On July 8, 2013, we filed a complaint seeking declaratory relief from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois to confirm our right to reduce or terminate retiree medical coverage and life insurance benefits pursuant to our plans and, on July 9, 2013, the union and certain retiree defendants filed suit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania regarding the same dispute (See Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The outcome of the pending litigation and the impact on our postretirement benefit plan obligation cannot be determined at this time. When we terminate, effective October 1, 2013 our contributions to fund our postretirement benefit plan, then we would make approximately $2.9 million in payments to the plan in 2013. We would have made approximately $4.9 million in payments to the plan in 2013 based on the expired settlement agreement. However, the Company’s postretirement benefit plan obligation could significantly increase or decrease as a result of the litigation or if the parties agree to an alternative settlement agreement. We anticipate funding pension plan contributions and postretirement benefit plan payments with cash from operations and available cash.

Based upon our operating performance, capital requirements and obligations under our pension and welfare benefit plans, we may, from time to time, be required to raise additional funds through additional offerings of our common stock and through long-term borrowings. There can be no assurance that long-term debt, if needed, will be available on terms attractive to us, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Our failure to raise capital if and when needed could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2013 and the effect that these obligations and commitments would be expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods:


	Payments Due by Period
Contractual Obligations	Total		1 Year		2-3 Years		4-5 Years		After 5 Years
	*(In thousands)*
Operating leases	$	87,720	$	10,232	$	19,691	$	17,693	$	40,104
Material and component purchases		27,748		19,309		8,439		—		—

Total	$	115,468	$	29,541	$	28,130	$	17,693	$	40,104

Material and component purchases consist of non-cancelable agreements with suppliers to purchase materials used in the manufacturing process. Purchase commitments for aluminum are made at a fixed price and are typically entered into after a customer places an order for railcars. The estimated amounts above may vary based on the actual quantities and price.

The above table excludes $3.6 million related to a reserve for unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties at June 30, 2013 because the timing of the payout of these amounts cannot be determined.

We are also required to make minimum contributions to our pension plans and postretirement welfare plans as discussed above.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our net cash (used in) provided by operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2013			2012
	*(In thousands)*
Net cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(57,064	)	$	14,872
Investing activities		(6,934	)		(7,820	)
Financing activities		17,896			(1,480	)

Total	$	(46,102	)	$	5,572

Operating Activities. Our net cash provided by or used in operating activities reflects net income or 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 bi-weekly payroll and associated taxes, and payments to our suppliers. As some of our customers accept delivery of new railcars in train-set quantities, consisting on average of 120 to 135 railcars, variations in our sales lead to significant fluctuations in our operating profits and cash from operating activities. We do not usually experience business credit issues, although a payment may be delayed pending completion of closing documentation.

Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $57.1 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included our net loss from operations and decreases in cash related to changes in accounts and contractual payables of $19.7 million, inventory on lease of $17.0 million, customer deposits of $12.6 million and inventory of $4.6 million. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 included our income from operations and increases in cash due to changes in account and contractual payables of $9.2 million, deferred income taxes of $8.9 million and accounts receivable of $2.9 million, which were partially offset by the cost of inventory on lease of $23.1 million.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $6.9 million compared to $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included purchases of property, plant and equipment of $15.1 million and securities (net of maturities) of $3.0 million, which were partially offset by restricted cash withdrawals (net of deposits) of $11.1 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 included restricted cash deposits for collateralization of letters of credit of $15.5 million and purchases of property, plant and equipment of $3.2 million, which were partially offset by proceeds from the sale of railcars on operating leases of $10.4 million.

Financing activities for each of the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, included $1.5 million of cash dividends paid to our stockholders.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures were $15.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $3.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were primarily purchases of equipment for our Shoals facility. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were primarily cash outlays to maintain our existing facilities. Excluding unforeseen expenditures, management expects that total capital expenditures will be approximately $20.0 million for 2013, including capital expenditures for our Shoals facility.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects. We have used the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “intend” and similar expressions in this report to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Our actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

Our forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including:

•

the cyclical nature of our business;

•

adverse economic and market conditions;

•

the highly competitive nature of our industry;

•

our reliance upon a small number of customers that represent a large percentage of our sales;

•

the variable purchase patterns of our customers and the timing of completion, delivery and customer acceptance of orders;

•

fluctuating costs of raw materials, including steel and aluminum, and delays in the delivery of raw materials;

•

our reliance on the sales of our coal cars;

•

the risk of lack of acceptance of our new railcar offerings by our customers;

•

our reported backlog may not indicate what our future sales will be;

•

potential significant warranty claims;

•

shortages of skilled labor;

•

our ability to manage our health care and pension costs;

•

risks relating to our relationship with our unionized employees and their unions;

•

our ability to maintain relationships with our suppliers of railcar components;

•

the cost of complying with environmental laws and regulations; and

•

various covenants in the agreement governing our indebtedness that limit our management’s discretion in the operation of our businesses.

Our actual results could be different from the results described in or anticipated by our forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates, forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than anticipated. Given these uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date that they were made. We expressly disclaim any duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, in order to reflect changes in circumstances or expectations or the occurrence of unanticipated events except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. All of the forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As of June 30, 2013, we had a $30.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which provided for financing of our working capital requirements and contained a sub-facility for letters of credit not to exceed $20.0 million. As of June 30, 2013, there were no borrowings or outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit facility.

The production of railcars and our operations require substantial amounts of aluminum and steel. The cost of aluminum, steel and all other materials (including scrap metal) used in the production of our railcars represents a significant majority of our direct manufacturing costs. Our business is subject to the risk of price increases and periodic delays in the delivery of aluminum, steel and other materials, all of which are beyond our control. Any fluctuations in the price or availability of aluminum or steel, or any other material used in the production of our railcars, may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, if any of our suppliers were unable to continue its business or were to seek bankruptcy relief, the availability or price of the materials we use could be adversely affected. When market conditions permit us to do so, we negotiate contracts with our customers that allow for variable pricing to protect us against future changes in the cost of raw materials. When raw material prices increase rapidly or to levels significantly higher than normal, we may not be able to pass price increases through to our customers, which could adversely affect our operating margins and cash flows.

We are not exposed to any significant foreign currency exchange risks as our general policy is to denominate foreign sales and purchases in U.S. dollars.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On July 8, 2013, we filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment (the “Complaint”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the “Court”). The case names as defendants the United Steel, Paper & Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial & Services Workers International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC (the “USW”), as well as approximately 650 individual Retiree Defendants (as defined in the Complaint), and has been assigned Case No. 1:13-cv-4889.

As described in the Complaint, pursuant to a prior settlement agreement among the Company, the USW and the Retiree Defendants, we agreed to make certain levels of contributions to medical coverage for the Retiree Defendants and to continue to provide life insurance benefits at their amount at that time under certain of our employee welfare benefit plans. The settlement agreement expressly provided that, as of November 30, 2012, we could cease making these contributions. In June 2011, the Company and the USW began discussing the possibility of an extension beyond November 30, 2012 for our contributions to retiree medical coverage and life insurance benefits at a reduced amount and on other mutually acceptable terms. We engaged in voluntary negotiations for two years with the USW and counsel for the Retiree Defendants in an effort to reach a consensual agreement regarding such medical and life insurance benefits, but the parties were unable to reach a final agreement. We are terminating, effective October 1, 2013, our contributions for medical coverage provided to the Retiree Defendants and the provision of life insurance benefits and are seeking declaratory relief from the Illinois Court to confirm our rights under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, to reduce or terminate retiree medical coverage and life insurance benefits pursuant to the plans that were the subject of the prior settlement agreement.

On July 9, 2013, the USW and certain Retiree Defendants filed a putative class action in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (the “Pennsylvania Court”), captioned as Zanghi, et al. v. FreightCar America, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:13-cv-146. The complaint filed with the Pennsylvania Court alleges that we do not have the right to terminate welfare benefits previously provided to the Retiree Defendants and requests, among other relief, entry of a judgment finding that the Retiree Defendants have a vested right to specified welfare benefits.

On July 26, 2013, the USW filed with the Illinois Court a Motion to Dismiss Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b) or in the Alternative, to Transfer Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1404(a), as well as a Motion to Stay and/or Prevent Plaintiff from Obtaining Defaults against the Retiree Defendants. On August 5, 2013, we filed with the Pennsylvania Court a Motion to Dismiss Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ P. 12(b) or in the Alternative, to Transfer Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1404(a). Both the Illinois Court and the Pennsylvania Court have established briefing schedules relating to the respective motions to dismiss and/or transfer venue.

As noted in our audited financial statements contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, we have recorded postretirement benefit plan obligations, a substantial portion of which relate to the dispute now before the Illinois Court and the Pennsylvania Court (see Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

On September 29, 2008, Bral Corporation, a supplier of certain railcar parts to us, filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (the “Pennsylvania Lawsuit”). The complaint alleged that we breached an exclusive supply agreement with Bral by purchasing parts from CMN Components, Inc. (“CMN”) and sought damages in an unspecified amount, attorneys’ fees and other legal costs. On December 14, 2007, Bral sued CMN in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, alleging among other things that CMN interfered in the business relationship between Bral and us (the “Illinois Lawsuit”) and seeking damages in an unspecified amount, attorneys’ fees and other legal costs. On October 22, 2008, we entered into an Assignment of Claims Agreement with CMN under which CMN assigned to us its counterclaims against Bral in the Illinois Lawsuit and we agreed to defend and indemnify CMN against Bral’s claims in that lawsuit. On March 4, 2013, Bral Corporation and the Company agreed to settle the Illinois Lawsuit and the Pennsylvania Lawsuit. The settlement resulted in a $3.9 million reduction in litigation reserves, which favorably impacted our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

In addition to the foregoing, we are involved in certain other pending and threatened legal proceedings, including commercial disputes and workers’ compensation and employee matters arising out of the conduct of our business. While the ultimate outcome of these other legal proceedings cannot be determined at this time, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these other actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
