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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 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 2013 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2013. 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, 2013.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition. ASU 2014-09 provides for a single five-step model to be applied to all revenue contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional financial statement disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis whereby the new standard would be applied to new contracts and existing contracts with remaining performance obligations as of the effective date, with a cumulative catch-up adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings at the effective date for existing contracts with remaining performance obligations. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the methods of adoption allowed by the new standard and the effect that the standard is expected to have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows and related disclosures.

Table of Contents

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08 changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and expands disclosures about discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations should be presented as discontinued operations when the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is classified as held for sale or is disposed of by sale or other means. Examples include a disposal of operations in a major geographic area, a major line of business or a major equity method investment. This standard is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 (early adoption is permitted only for disposals that have not been previously reported). The adoption of these changes is not expected to have a material 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 and parts sales. 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 5 – Fair Value Measurements

The following table sets forth by level within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets that were recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and the Company’s non-financial assets that were recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

The carrying values of property, plant and equipment at the Company’s Danville and Clinton facilities were reduced to their estimated fair market values during the fourth quarter of 2013. Fair market values for the Danville and Clinton facilities were estimated using the market approach using market data such as recent sales of comparable assets in active markets and estimated salvage values. No non-financial assets were recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2014.

Note 6 – Marketable Securities

The Company’s current investment policy is to invest in cash, certificates of deposit, U.S. treasury securities, U.S. government agency obligations and money market funds invested in U.S. government securities. Marketable securities as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $47,990 and $38,988, respectively, consisted of U.S. treasury securities held to maturity with original maturities of greater than 90 days and up to one year. Due to the short-term nature of these securities and their low interest rates, there is no material difference between their fair market values and amortized costs.

Note 7 – Inventories

Inventories, net of reserve for excess and obsolete items, consist of the following:

Inventory on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets includes reserves of $1,893 and $1,793 relating to excess or slow-moving inventory for parts and work in progress at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Note 8 – Leased Railcars

Inventory on lease was $25,676 and $16,955 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Railcars available for lease, net at September 30, 2014 was $30,123 (cost of $35,225 and accumulated depreciation of $5,102) and at December 31, 2013 was $36,110 (cost of $41,389 and accumulated depreciation of $5,279). The Company’s lease utilization rate for railcars in its lease fleet was 100% at each of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Leased railcars at September 30, 2014 are subject to lease agreements with external customers with terms of up to seven years and are accounted for as operating leases.

Future minimum rental revenues on leased railcars at September 30, 2014 are as follows:

Note 9 – Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment consists of the following:

As part of the Company’s strategic initiative to improve the contribution of its Services business to the Company’s results of operations, management evaluated the long-term profitability of each of its railcar maintenance and repair shops during the fourth quarter of 2013 and decided to close its underperforming maintenance and repair shop in Clinton, Indiana. The estimated fair market values, representing the estimated salvage values of buildings, equipment and rail at the facility and the estimated sales value of the associated land as of December 31, 2013 are included in the table above. During the third quarter of 2014, these assets were sold to a third party resulting in a gain on sale of $1,078, which is included in gain on sale of assets held for sale in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Note 10 – Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets consist of the following:

Patents are being amortized on a straight-line method over their remaining legal life from the date of acquisition. The weighted average remaining life of the Company’s patents is three years. Amortization expense related to patents, which is included in cost of sales, was $148 for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and $443 for each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Customer-related intangibles are being amortized from the date of acquisition and have a remaining life of 16 years. Amortization expense related to customer intangibles, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses, was $32 and $37 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $97 and $111 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The estimated future intangible amortization at September 30, 2014 is as follows:

The Company assesses the carrying value of goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently whenever events occur and circumstances change indicating potential impairment. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company performed its annual assessment and concluded that the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units exceeded the carrying value as of the testing date.

Management determines the fair value of the reporting units using a combination of the income approach, utilizing the discounted cash flow method, and the market approach, utilizing the guideline company method.

Note 11 – Product Warranties

Warranty terms are based on the negotiated railcar sales contracts. The Company typically warrants that new railcars produced by it will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service identified for a period of up to five years from the time of sale. The changes in the warranty reserve for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, are as follows:

Note 12 – Revolving Credit Facility

The Company entered into a $50,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated as of July 26, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among FreightCar and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (together the “Borrowers”), and Bank of America, N.A., as lender. The Revolving Credit Facility can be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Agreement 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. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $5,435 in outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility and therefore had $44,565 available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit 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 Credit Facility are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the Borrowers’ assets excluding railcars held by the Company’s railcar leasing subsidiary, JAIX. The Borrowers also have pledged all of the equity interests in the Company’s direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries as security for the Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Agreement has both affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, a covenant requiring minimum consolidated net liquidity of $35,000 and limitations on indebtedness, liens and investments. The Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $4,605 in outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility and therefore had $45,395 available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Note 13 – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consist of the following:

Table of Contents

Note 14 – 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.

Total stock-based compensation was $476 and $629 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1,576 and $1,703 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, there was $3,043 of unearned compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock awards, which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period of 36 months.

Note 15 – 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 an expired settlement agreement with the union representing employees at the Company’s and its predecessors’ Johnstown manufacturing facilities. The terms of that settlement agreement (the “2005 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 2005 Settlement Agreement but no agreement was reached. The Company terminated, effective November 1, 2013, its contributions for medical coverage and life insurance benefits to affected retirees and is seeking declaratory relief to confirm the Company’s rights under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), to reduce or terminate retiree medical coverage and life insurance benefits pursuant to the plans that were the subject of the 2005 Settlement Agreement. 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 16). 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 was 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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, are as follows:

15

Table of Contents

The Company made contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans of $108 and $61 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $217 and $122 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company expects to make $341 in contributions (including contributions already made) to its pension plans in 2014 to meet its minimum funding requirements.

The Company made payments to the Company’s postretirement benefit plan of $107 and $508 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $323 and $2,977 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company expects to make $407 in contributions (including contributions already made) to its postretirement benefit plan in 2014 for salaried retirees. However, because the Company’s postretirement benefit plan obligation is currently subject to litigation the postretirement benefit payments for hourly retirees, if any, are unknown at this time.

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 $443 and $310 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1,142 and $1,190 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 16 – 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 was assigned Case No 1:13-cv-4889.

As described in the Complaint, pursuant to the 2005 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 2005 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 terminated, effective November 1, 2013, its contributions for medical coverage provided to the Retiree Defendants and the provision of life insurance benefits and is seeking declaratory relief to confirm its rights under the ERISA to reduce or terminate retiree medical coverage and life insurance benefits pursuant to the plans that were the subject of the 2005 Settlement Agreement.

On July 9, 2013, the USW and certain Retiree Defendants (collectively, the “Pennsylvania Plaintiffs”) 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.

Table of Contents

On July 26, 2013, the Pennsylvania Plaintiffs 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). On January 14, 2014, the Pennsylvania Court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss and, on January 16, 2014, the Illinois Court transferred the Company’s case to the Pennsylvania Court. On January 31, 2014, the Company filed a motion to consolidate both cases before the Pennsylvania Court. On April 3, 2014, the Pennsylvania Court entered an order (the “Initial Procedural Order”) that, among other things, consolidated both cases before the Pennsylvania Court, certified a class for purposes of the consolidated actions, established discovery parameters and deadlines and established a briefing schedule applicable to the parties’ cross motions for summary judgment as to liability only. On July 17, 2014, the parties filed with the Pennsylvania Court their respective motions for summary judgment as to liability. The parties have submitted their responses and replies with respect to each of the motions. There can be no assurance as to when the Pennsylvania Court will issue its ruling on such motions, or how the Pennsylvania Court will rule.

On September 5, 2013, the Pennsylvania Plaintiffs and certain putative class representatives filed a Plaintiffs’ Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction (the “TRO Motion”) with the Pennsylvania Court. In the TRO Motion, the plaintiffs requested that the Pennsylvania Court enter an injunction requiring the Company to continue to make monthly contributions at the same rate established by the 2005 Settlement Agreement until the parties’ dispute is fully adjudicated on the merits. Following entry of the Initial Procedural Order, the Pennsylvania Court denied the TRO Motion without prejudice.

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 15).

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 nine months ended September 30, 2013.

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 17 – Other Commitments

The Company leases certain property and equipment under long-term operating leases expiring at various dates through 2024. The leases generally contain specific renewal options at lease-end at the then fair market amounts.

Future minimum lease payments at September 30, 2014 are as follows:

17

Table of Contents

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 September 30, 2014 and 2013, was approximately $2,331 and $2,334, respectively. Total rental expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, was approximately $7,000 and $6,551, respectively.

The Company is party to 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 September 30, 2014, the Company had purchase commitments under these agreements as follows:
