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 U.S. 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, 2015 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 2014 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2014. 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, 2014.

Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330), which requires entities to measure most inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under ASU 2015-11, inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which eliminates the need to determine replacement cost and evaluate whether it is above the ceiling (net realizable value) or below the floor (net realizable value less normal profit margin). ASU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This standard is effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (early adoption is permitted). The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the debt issuance costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. This standard is effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (early adoption is permitted). 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.

Table of Contents

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. The new guidance affects the following areas: (1) limited partnerships and similar legal entities; (2) evaluating fees paid to a decision maker or a service provider as a variable interest; (3) the effect of fee arrangements on the primary beneficiary determination; (4) the effect of related parties on the primary beneficiary determination; and (5) certain investment funds. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the guidance in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in this guidance using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued 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. On July 9, 2015 the FASB voted to approve a one year delay of the effective date to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and to permit companies to voluntarily adopt the new standard as of the original effective date. 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.

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.

Table of Contents

No non-financial assets were recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis at each of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 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 June 30, 2015 of $42,002 consisted of U.S. treasury securities held to maturity and certificates of deposit with original maturities of greater than 90 days and up to one year. Marketable securities as of December 31, 2014 of $47,961 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 $4,001 and $2,381 relating to excess and obsolete inventory for parts and work in progress at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Note 8 – Leased Railcars

Inventory on lease was $0 and $116 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Railcars available for lease, net at June 30, 2015 was $16,247 (cost of $19,230 and accumulated depreciation of $2,983) and at December 31, 2014 was $22,897 (cost of $26,852 and accumulated depreciation of $3,955). The Company’s lease utilization rate for railcars in its lease fleet was 65% and 100% at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Leased railcars at June 30, 2015 are subject to lease agreements with external customers with terms of up to six years and are accounted for as operating leases.

Future minimum rental revenues on leased railcars at June 30, 2015 are as follows:

Note 10 – Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets consist of the following:

Patents are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their remaining legal life from the date of acquisition. The weighted average remaining life of the Company’s patents is approximately two years. Amortization expense related to patents, which is included in cost of sales, was $148 for each of the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and $295 for each of the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Customer-related intangibles are being amortized from the date of acquisition and have a remaining life of 15 years. Amortization expense related to customer intangibles, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses, was $27 and $32 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $54 and $65 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The estimated future intangible amortization at June 30, 2015 is as follows:

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 six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, are as follows:

Note 12 – State Incentives

The Company records state incentives when there is reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received and the Company is able to comply with the conditions attached to the incentives received. State incentives related to assets are recorded as deferred income and recognized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the related assets.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company received a cash payment of $4,907 for Alabama state incentives related to the Company’s capital investment and employment levels at its Cherokee, Alabama (“Shoals”) facility. Under the incentive agreement, a certain portion of the incentives may be repayable by the Company to the State of Alabama if a targeted level of employment is not maintained. The Company’s level of employment at its Shoals facility currently exceeds and is expected to continue to exceed the targeted level of employment.

The changes in deferred income from state incentives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, are as follows:

Note 13 – 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 June 30, 2015, 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 June 30, 2015, the Company had $7,885 in outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility and therefore had $42,115 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, 2014, the Company had $6,015 in outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility and therefore had $43,985 available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Note 14 – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

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

Table of Contents

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss consist of the following:

Note 15 – 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 $575 and $560 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1,178 and $1,100 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of June 30, 2015, there was $3,413 of unearned compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock awards, which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period of 31 months.

Note 16 – 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 17). 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 six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, are as follows:

The Company made contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans of $0 and $48 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $0 and $109 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company expects to make no contributions to its pension plans in 2015.

16

Table of Contents

The Company made contributions to the Company’s postretirement benefit plan of $99 and $110 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $195 and $216 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company expects to make $409 in contributions (including contributions already made) to its postretirement benefit plan in 2015 for salaried retirees. However, because the Company’s postretirement benefit plan obligation is currently subject to litigation, the postretirement benefit contributions 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 $761 and $387 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1,363 and $699 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Note 17 – 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 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.

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. On March 30, 2015, the Pennsylvania Court issued an order denying both parties’ summary judgment motions. A trial has been scheduled to commence on August 25, 2015 in the Pennsylvania Court. The ultimate outcome of the proceedings before the Pennsylvania Court cannot be determined at this time.

17

Table of Contents

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 Pennsylvania Court (see Note 16).

On April 17, 2015, National Steel Car Limited filed a Complaint for Patent Infringement against the Company in the Illinois Court. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and an unspecified amount of damages. The Company believes that the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations. While the ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be determined at this time, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of this action will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 18 – 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 June 30, 2015 are as follows:

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, 2015 and 2014, was approximately $2,604 and $2,330, respectively. Total rental expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, was approximately $5,201 and $4,669, 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 June 30, 2015, the Company had purchase commitments under these agreements as follows:

Note 19 – Earnings Per Share

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

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. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, 289,102 and 451,965 shares, respectively, were not included in the weighted average common shares outstanding calculation as they were anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, 289,870 and 824,334 shares, respectively, were not included in the weighted average common shares outstanding calculation as they were anti-dilutive.

Note 20 – Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision was $3,458 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $494 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was 31.9% and was lower than the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the (2.8)% estimated impact of the domestic manufacturing deduction, the (2.8)% impact of state income tax credits, a blended state tax rate of 3.1% and (0.6)% for the effect of other differences. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was 23.4% and was lower than the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the (14.2)% impact of a change in the valuation allowance and deferred tax assets due to changes in the mix of income from states in which the Company operates, which was partially offset by a 1.5% blended state tax rate and 1.1% for the effect of other differences.

The Company’s income tax provision was $2,410 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to an income tax benefit of $4,356 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 31.2% and was lower than the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the (2.8)% estimated impact of the domestic manufacturing deduction, the (3.9)% impact of state income tax credits, a blended state tax rate of 3.1% and (0.2)% for the effect of other differences. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 45.0% and was higher than the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to a 7.5% blended state tax rate, a 1.9% impact of a change in the valuation allowance and deferred tax assets due to changes in the mix of income from states in which we operate and 0.6% for the effect of other differences.

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 Cherokee, Alabama (“Shoals”), Danville, Illinois and Roanoke, Virginia. Our Shoals facility 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 and Roanoke facilities will continue to support our coal car products, we believe the Shoals facility allows us to produce a broader variety of railcars in a cost-effective and efficient manner. During the fourth quarter of 2014, we announced a $10 million expansion at our Shoals facility to add an additional production capacity to meet demand for our new types of railcars. The new production capacity became operational early in the second quarter of 2015. During the first half of 2015, we added approximately 300 employees to support increased production levels at our Shoals facility.

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 for all types of freight railcars through our FCRS subsidiary. FCRS has repair and maintenance facilities in Grand Island, Nebraska and Hastings, Nebraska and services freight cars and unit coal trains utilizing key rail corridors in the Western regions of the United States. We also lease freight cars through our JAIX Leasing Company subsidiary. As of June 30, 2015, the value of leased railcars, consisting of railcars available for lease, was $16.2 million. Our primary customers are railroads, financial institutions and shippers.

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 railcar repair and maintenance and parts sales. Corporate includes administrative activities and all other non-operating activities.

Total orders for railcars in the second quarter of 2015 were 1,618 units compared to 2,401 units ordered in the second quarter of 2014. All of the orders for the second quarter of 2015 were for new railcars while orders for the second quarter of 2014 consisted of 2,201 new railcars and 400 leased railcars, offset by a 200 unit customer reduction to rebuilt railcars. Railcar deliveries totaled 2,611 units, consisting of 1,861 new railcars and 750 rebuilt railcars, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to 1,635 units, consisting of 510 new railcars, 800 rebuilt railcars and 325 leased railcars, in the second quarter of 2014. Total backlog of unfilled orders was 14,075 units, consisting of 12,633 new railcars and 1,442 rebuilt railcars, at June 30, 2015, compared to 14,791 units, consisting of 12,191 new railcars and 2,600 rebuilt railcars, at December 31, 2014. The estimated sales value of the backlog was $1,259 million and $1,269 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Revenues

Our consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $235.6 million compared to $139.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Manufacturing segment revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $227.0 million compared to $128.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in Manufacturing segment revenues for the 2015 period compared to the 2014 period reflects the increase in the number of railcars delivered and the change in the mix of new versus rebuilt railcars. Services segment revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were $8.6 million compared to $10.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in Services segment revenues for the 2015 period compared to the 2014 period reflects lower parts sales revenue, which was partially offset by higher repair volumes.

Gross Profit

Our consolidated gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $21.8 million compared to $11.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase reflects increases in gross profit from our Manufacturing segment of $10.5 million and from our Services segment of $0.7 million, which were partially offset by increases in Corporate costs of $0.5 million. The increase in gross profit for our Manufacturing segment reflects the increase in deliveries, a favorable product mix and improvement in production efficiencies. Gross profit for our Manufacturing segment for the three months ended June 30, 2015 included approximately $0.9 million of costs associated with the continued ramp up of the additional production capacity at our Shoals facility while Manufacturing segment gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2014 included costs associated with the ramp up of production volumes at Shoals, carrying costs associated with our idled Danville facility and incremental costs associated with the restart of production at Danville, which together totaled $2.6 million. Manufacturing segment gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was also impacted by a $0.8 million expense recorded to settle a warranty claim. The increase in gross profit for our Services segment for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 reflects higher repair volumes and changes in the mix of repair work and parts sales which were partially offset by lower parts sales. Our consolidated gross profit margin was 9.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 7.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Manufacturing segment operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 included approximately $0.9 million of costs associated with the continued ramp up of the additional production capacity at our Shoals facility. Manufacturing segment operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 included costs associated with the ramp up of production volumes at Shoals, carrying costs associated with our idled Danville facility and incremental costs associated with the restart of production at Danville, which together totaled $2.6 million. Manufacturing segment operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was also impacted by a $0.8 million expense recorded to settle a warranty claim. Services segment operating income was $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in Services segment operating income reflects higher repair volumes and changes in the mix of repair work and parts sales, which were partially offset by lower parts sales. Corporate costs were $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting increases in salaries and wages, legal costs and consulting fees.

Income Taxes

Our income tax provision was $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was 31.9% and was lower than the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the (2.8)% estimated impact of the domestic manufacturing deduction, the (2.8)% impact of state income tax credits, a blended state tax rate of 3.1% and (0.6)% for the effect of other differences. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was 23.4% and was lower than the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to the (14.2)% impact of a change in the valuation allowance and deferred tax assets due to changes in the mix of income from states in which the Company operates, which was partially offset by a 1.5% blended state tax rate and 1.1% for the effect of other differences.

Manufacturing segment revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $312.1 million compared to $176.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in Manufacturing segment revenues for the 2015 period compared to the 2014 period reflects the increase in the number of railcars delivered, a higher mix of new versus rebuilt railcars and changes in the product mix of new railcars. Our Manufacturing segment delivered 3,670 units, consisting of 2,512 new railcars and 1,158 rebuilt railcars, for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 2,388 units, consisting of 798 new railcars, 1,190 rebuilt railcars and 400 leased railcars, for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Services segment revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were $16.3 million compared to $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in Services segment revenues for the 2015 period compared to the 2014 period reflects lower parts sales revenue, which was partially offset by higher repair volumes.

Gross Profit

Our consolidated gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $26.4 million compared to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase reflects increases in gross profit from our Manufacturing segment of $17.0 million and from our Services segment of $2.1 million, which were partially offset by increases in Corporate costs of $0.6 million. The increase in gross profit for our Manufacturing segment for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 reflects the increase in deliveries, a higher mix of new versus rebuilt railcars, changes in the product mix of new railcars and improvement in production efficiencies. Gross profit for our Manufacturing segment for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included approximately $2.3 million of costs associated with the continued ramp up of the additional production capacity at our Shoals facility. Manufacturing segment gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included costs associated with the ramp up of production volumes at Shoals, carrying costs associated with our idled Danville facility and incremental costs associated with the restart of production at Danville, which together totaled $5.5 million.

Our consolidated operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $7.8 million compared to an operating loss of $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Operating income for the Manufacturing segment was $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting the increase in deliveries, a higher mix of new versus rebuilt railcars, changes in the product mix of new railcars and improvement in production efficiencies. Manufacturing segment operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included approximately $2.3 million of costs associated with the continued ramp up of the additional production capacity at our Shoals facility. Manufacturing segment operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included costs associated with the ramp up of production volumes at Shoals, carrying costs associated with our idled Danville facility and incremental costs associated with the restart of production at Danville, which together totaled $5.5 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, were our cash and cash equivalent balances on hand, our securities held to maturity and our revolving credit facility.

We entered into a $50.0 million 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 us and certain of our subsidiaries, as 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 June 30, 2015, we 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 $30.0 million and the amount of the senior secured revolving credit facility at such time. As of June 30, 2015, we had $7.9 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility and therefore had $42.1 million 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 us. 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 our consolidated leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets excluding railcars held by our railcar leasing subsidiary, JAIX. We also have pledged all of the equity interests in our 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 $35.0 million and limitations on indebtedness, liens and investments. The Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default.

As of December 31, 2014, we had $6.0 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility and therefore had $44.0 million available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2014, we had no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Our restricted cash and restricted certificates of deposit balance was $7.9 million as of June 30, 2015 and $6.0 million as of December 31, 2014, and consisted of cash and certificates of deposit used to collateralize standby letters of credit with respect to performance guarantees and to support our worker’s compensation insurance claims. The increase in restricted cash and restricted certificates of deposit balance as of June 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 was a result of increases in standby letters of credit with respect to performance guarantees and our corresponding obligation to collateralize them. The standby letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2015 are scheduled to expire at various dates through January 31, 2018. We expect to establish restricted cash balances and restricted certificates of deposit in future periods to minimize bank fees related to standby letters of credit.

As of June 30, 2015, the value of leased railcars, consisting of railcars available for lease, was $16.2 million. We 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 operating cash flows, our marketable securities and our cash balances, 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, payments for contractual obligations, 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, 2014, our benefit obligation under our defined benefit pension plans and our postretirement benefit plan was $58.0 million and $73.9 million, respectively, which exceeded the fair value of plan assets by $7.2 million and $73.9 million, respectively. We made no contributions to our defined benefit pension plans during the six months ended June 30, 2015. As disclosed in Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, we expect to make no contributions to our defined benefit pension plans in

2015. 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, interest rates and mortality estimates. 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 contributions to our postretirement benefit plan of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 for salaried retirees. We expect to make $0.4 million in contributions (including contributions already made) to our postretirement benefit plan in 2015 for salaried retirees. However, because our postretirement benefit plan obligation is currently subject to litigation the postretirement benefit payments for hourly retirees, if any, are unknown at this time. A substantial portion of our 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 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 2005 Settlement Agreement but no agreements were reached. We terminated, effective November 1, 2013, our contributions for medical coverage and life insurance benefits to affected retirees and are seeking declaratory relief to confirm our 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 17 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. Our 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, 2015 and the effect that these obligations and commitments would be expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods:
