NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 (UNAUDITED)

1. BUSINESS

Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation (“Wabtec”) is one of the world’s largest providers of value-added, technology-based products and services for the global rail industry. Our products are found on virtually all U.S. locomotives, freight cars and passenger transit vehicles, as well as in more than 100 countries throughout the world. Our products enhance safety, improve productivity and reduce maintenance costs for customers, and many of our core products and services are essential in the safe and efficient operation of freight rail and passenger transit vehicles. Wabtec is a global company with operations in 19 countries. In the first six months of 2014, about 46% of the Company’s revenues came from customers outside the U.S.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include the accounts of Wabtec and its majority owned subsidiaries. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, these financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The Company operates on a four-four-five week accounting quarter, and the quarters’ end on or about March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31.

The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in Wabtec’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The December 31, 2013 information has been derived from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Capital Structure On May 14, 2013, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock to 200.0 million shares. In addition, on May 14, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock in the form of a 100% stock dividend. The increase in the authorized shares and the stock split became effective on May 14, 2013 and June 11, 2013, respectively.

The Company issued approximately 66.2 million shares of its common stock as a result of the two-for-one stock split. The par value of the Company’s common stock remained unchanged at $0.01 per share.

Information regarding shares of common stock (except par value per share), retained earnings, and net income per common share attributable to Wabtec shareholders for all periods presented reflects the two-for-one split of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of other stock-based awards was proportionally increased, and the exercise price per share thereof was proportionally decreased, in accordance with the terms of the stock incentive plans.

Reclassifications Certain prior year footnote amounts have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the current year presentation.

Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue is recognized when products have been shipped to the respective customers, title has passed and the price for the product has been determined.

In general, the Company recognizes revenues on long-term contracts based on the percentage of completion method of accounting. The units-of-delivery method or other input-based or output-based measures, as appropriate, are used to measure the progress toward completion of individual contracts. Contract revenues and cost estimates are reviewed and revised at a minimum quarterly and adjustments are reflected in the accounting period as such amounts are determined. Provisions are made currently for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts. Unbilled accounts receivables were $252.0 million and $205.0 million, customer deposits were $72.4 million and $66.6 million, and provisions for loss contracts were $7.2 million and $14.0 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Certain pre-production costs relating to long-term production and supply contracts have been deferred and will be recognized over the life of the contracts. Deferred pre-production costs were $19.5 million and $19.2 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of changes in currency exchange rates. Forward contracts are agreements with a counter-party to exchange two distinct currencies at a set exchange rate for delivery on a set date at some point in the future. There is no exchange of funds until the delivery date. At the delivery date the Company can either take delivery of the currency or settle on a net basis. At June 30, 2014, the Company had no material foreign currency forward contracts.

To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on a portion of its variable-rate debt, the Company has entered into two forward starting interest rate swap agreements with notional values of $150.0 million. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has recorded a current liability of $3.5 million and a corresponding offset in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $2.1 million, net of tax, related to this agreement. For further information regarding the forward starting interest rate swap agreements, see Footnote 6.

Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, except for the Company’s Mexican operations whose functional currency is the U.S. Dollar, are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date while income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions and the translation of financial statements are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements based upon the provisions of ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters.” The effects of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions and balances of a long-term investment nature are accumulated and carried as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The effects of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are charged or credited to earnings.

Non-controlling Interests In accordance with ASC 810, the Company has classified non-controlling interests as equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Net income attributable to non-controlling interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was not material.

Other Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is defined as net income and all other non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity.

The changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss by component, net of tax, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are as follows:

2013 Refinancing Credit Agreement

On December 19, 2013, the Company amended its existing revolving credit facility with a consortium of commercial banks. This “2013 Refinancing Credit Agreement” provides the Company with an $800 million, five-year revolving credit facility. The Company incurred approximately $1.0 million of deferred financing cost related to the 2013 Refinancing Credit Agreement. The facility expires on December 19, 2018. The 2013 Refinancing Credit Agreement borrowings bear variable interest rates indexed as described below. At June 30, 2014, the Company had available bank borrowing capacity, net of $18.1 million of letters of credit, of approximately $531.9 million, subject to certain financial covenant restrictions.

Under the 2013 Refinancing Credit Agreement, the Company may elect a Base Rate of interest for U.S. Dollar denominated loans or, for certain currencies, an interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) of interest, or other rates appropriate for such currencies (in any case, “the Alternate Rate”). The Base Rate adjusts on a daily basis and is the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% per annum, the PNC, N.A. prime rate or the Daily LIBOR Rate plus 100 basis points, plus a margin that ranges from 0 to 75 basis points. The Alternate Rate is based on the quoted rates specific to the applicable currency, plus a margin that ranges from 75 to 175 basis points. Both the Base Rate and Alternate Rate margins are dependent on the Company’s consolidated total indebtedness to cash flow ratios. The initial Base Rate margin is 0 basis points and the Alternate Rate margin is 75 basis points.

At June 30, 2014 the weighted average interest rate on the Company’s variable rate debt was 0.91%. On January 12, 2012, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with a notional value of $150 million. The effective date of the interest rate swap agreement is July 31, 2013, and the termination date is November 7, 2016. The impact of the interest rate swap agreement converts a portion of the Company’s outstanding debt from a variable rate to a fixed-rate borrowing. During the term of the interest rate swap agreement the interest rate on the notional value will be fixed at 1.415% plus the Alternate Rate margin. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty. However, since only the cash interest payments are exchanged, exposure is significantly less than the notional amount. The counterparty is a large financial institution with an excellent credit rating and history of performance. The Company currently believes the risk of nonperformance is negligible.

On June 5, 2014, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with a notional value of $150.0 million. The effective date of the interest rate swap agreement is November 7, 2016, and the termination date is December 19, 2018. The impact of the interest rate swap agreement converts a portion of the Company’s outstanding debt from a variable rate to a fixed-rate borrowing. During the term of the interest rate swap agreement the interest rate on the notional value will be fixed at 2.56% plus the Alternate Rate margin. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty. However, since only the cash interest payments are exchanged, exposure is significantly less than the notional amount. The counterparty is a large financial institution with an excellent credit rating and history of performance. The Company currently believes the risk of nonperformance is negligible.

The 2013 Refinancing Credit Agreement limits the Company’s ability to declare or pay cash dividends and prohibits the Company from declaring or making other distributions, subject to certain exceptions. The 2013 Refinancing Credit Agreement contains various other covenants and restrictions including the following limitations: incurrence of additional indebtedness; mergers, consolidations, sales of assets and acquisitions; additional liens; sale and leasebacks; permissible investments, loans and advances; certain debt payments; and imposes a minimum interest expense coverage ratio of 3.0 and a maximum debt to cash flow ratio of 3.25. The Company does not expect that these measurements will limit the Company in executing our operating activities.

2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement

On November 7, 2011, the Company refinanced its existing revolving credit and term loan facility with a consortium of

commercial banks. This “2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement” provided the company with a $600 million, five-year revolving credit facility. The Company incurred approximately $1.9 million of deferred financing cost related to the 2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement. The facility was set to expire on November 7, 2016.

Under the 2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement, the Company may have elected a Base Rate of interest or an interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) of interest (“the Alternate Rate”). The Base Rate adjusted on a daily basis and was the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5% per annum, the PNC, N.A. prime rate or the Daily LIBOR Rate plus 100 basis points plus a margin that ranged from 0 to 75 basis points. The Alternate Rate was based on quoted LIBOR rates plus a margin that ranged from 75 to 175 basis points. Both the Base Rate and Alternate Rate margins were dependent on the Company’s consolidated total indebtedness to cash flow ratios. The current Base Rate margin was 0 basis points and the Alternate Rate margin was 100 basis points.

4.375% Senior Notes Due August 2023

In August 2013, the Company issued $250.0 million of Senior Notes due in 2023 (the “2013 Notes”). The 2013 Notes were issued at 99.879% of face value. Interest on the 2013 Notes accrues at a rate of 4.375% per annum and is payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The proceeds were used to repay debt outstanding under the Company’s existing credit agreement, and for general corporate purposes. The principal balance is due in full at maturity. The Company incurred $2.6 million of deferred financing costs related to the issuance.

The 2013 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu with all existing and future senior debt and senior to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The indenture under which the 2013 Notes were issued contains covenants and restrictions which limit among other things, the following: the incurrence of indebtedness, payment of dividends and certain distributions, sale of assets, change in control, mergers and consolidations and the incurrence of liens.

The Company is in compliance with the restrictions and covenants in the indenture under which the 2013 Notes were issued and expects that these restrictions and covenants will not be any type of limiting factor in executing our operating activities.

6.875% Senior Notes Due July 31, 2013

In August 2003, the Company issued $150.0 million of Senior Notes due in 2013 (“the 2003 Notes”). The 2003 Notes were issued at par. Interest on the 2003 Notes accrued at a rate of 6.875% per annum and was payable semi-annually on January 31 and July 31 of each year. The proceeds were used to repay debt outstanding under the Company’s existing credit agreement, and for general corporate purposes. The Company paid off the 2003 Notes, which matured on July 31, 2013 utilizing available capacity under the 2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement.

7. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Defined Benefit Pension Plans

The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans that cover certain U.S., Canadian, German, and United Kingdom employees and which provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of service of the employee.

The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for the plans.

The following tables provide information regarding the Company’s defined benefit pension plans summarized by U.S. and international components.

The Company’s funding methods are based on governmental requirements and differ from those methods used to recognize pension expense. The Company expects to contribute $5.2 million to the international plans and does not expect to make a contribution to the U.S. plans during 2014.

Post Retirement Benefit Plans

In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company has provided certain unfunded postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for a portion of North American employees. The Company is not obligated to pay health care and life insurance benefits to individuals who had retired prior to 1990.

The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for all post retirement plans.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

As of June 30, 2014, the Company maintains employee stock-based compensation plans for stock options, restricted stock, restricted units, and incentive stock awards as governed by the 2011 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2000 Plan”). The 2011 Plan has a 10-year term through March 27, 2021 and provides a maximum of 3,800,000 shares for grants or awards. The 2011 Plan was approved by stockholders of Wabtec on May 11, 2011. The Company also maintains a Non-Employee Directors’ Fee and Stock Option Plan (“Directors Plan”). No awards may be made under the Directors Plan subsequent to October 31, 2016.

Stock-based compensation expense was $12.1 million and $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Included in the stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 above is $1.1 million of expense related to stock options, $3.0 million related to restricted stock, $1.2 million related to restricted units, $6.3 million related to incentive stock awards and $0.5 million related to awards issued for Directors’ fees. At March 31, 2014, unamortized compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock, restricted units and incentive stock awards expected to vest totaled $31.1 million and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.

Stock Options Stock options are granted to eligible employees and directors at the fair market value, which is the average of the high and low Wabtec stock price on the date of grant. Under the 2011 Plan and the 2000 Plan, options become exercisable over a four-year vesting period and expire 10 years from the date of grant.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity and related information for the 2011 Plan, the 2000 Plan and the Directors Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2014:

				Weighted		Weighted
				Average		Average		Aggregate
				Exercise		Remaining		Intrinsic value
	Options			Price		Contractual Life		(in thousands)
Outstanding at December 31, 2013		1,232,862		$	24.36		6.1	$	61,530
Granted		78,232			72.82				773
Exercised		(84,502	)		21.82				(5,145	)
Canceled		(3,070	)		52.73				(92	)
Outstanding at June 30, 2014		1,223,522		$	27.56		5.9	$	67,459
Exercisable at June 30, 2014		875,226		$	20.65		5.1	$	54,306

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
	2014			2013
Dividend yield		0.11	%		0.21	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.19	%		1.38	%
Stock price volatility		33.2	%		43.8	%
Expected life (years)		5.0			5.0

The dividend yield is based on the Company’s dividend rate and the current market price of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. Expected life in years is determined from historical stock option exercise data. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury bond rates for the expected life of the option.

Restricted Stock, Restricted Units and Incentive Stock Beginning in 2006 the Company adopted a restricted stock program. As provided for under the 2011 and 2000 Plans, eligible employees are granted restricted stock or restricted units that generally vest over four years from the date of grant. Under the Directors Plan, restricted stock awards vest one year from the date of grant.

In addition, the Company has issued incentive stock awards to eligible employees that vest upon attainment of certain cumulative three year performance goals. Based on the Company’s performance for each three-year period then ended, the incentive stock awards can vest and be awarded ranging from 0% to 200% of the initial incentive stock awards granted. The incentive stock awards included in the table below represent the number of shares that are expected to vest based on the Company’s estimate for meeting those established performance targets. As of June 30, 2014, the Company estimates that it will achieve 167%, 100% and 100% for the incentive stock awards expected to vest based on performance for the three-year periods ending December 31, 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively, and has recorded incentive compensation expense accordingly. If our estimate of the number of these stock awards expected to vest changes in a future accounting period, cumulative compensation expense could increase or decrease and will be recognized in the current period for the elapsed portion of the vesting period and would change future expense for the remaining vesting period.

Compensation expense for the restricted stock and incentive stock awards is based on the average of the high and low Wabtec stock price on the date of grant and recognized over the applicable vesting period.

The following table summarizes the restricted stock and unit activity for the 2011 Plan, the 2000 Plan and the Directors Plan, and incentive stock awards activity for the 2011 Plan and the 2000 Plan with related information for the six months ended June 30, 2014:

							Weighted

9. INCOME TAXES

The overall effective income tax rate was 30.7% and 31.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 32.0% and 31.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the decrease in the effective rate is primarily due to an increase in foreign income taxed at lower statutory rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the increase in the effective rate is due to R&D tax credits recorded in the first quarter of 2013, not currently extended by statute for 2014.

As of June 30, 2014, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions is $10.3 million, of which $4.5 million, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2013 the liability associated with

uncertain tax positions was $10.5 million, of which $4.7 million, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company includes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2014 the total accrued interest and penalties are $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 the total accrued interest and penalties are $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

At this time, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0.2 million may change within the next 12 months due to the expiration of statutory review periods and current examinations. The Internal Revenue Service is currently auditing the 2012 tax year. With limited exception, the Company is no longer subject to examination by various U.S. and foreign taxing authorities for years before 2011.

The Company’s non-vested restricted stock contains rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends, and thus, are participating securities requiring the two-class method of computing earnings per share. The calculation of earnings per share for common stock shown above excludes the income attributable to the non-vested restricted stock from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those shares from the denominator.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and explains the related disclosure requirements. ASC 820 indicates, among other things, that a fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability and defines fair value based upon an exit price model.

Valuation Hierarchy ASC 820 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input

that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table provides the liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014, which are included in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance sheet:

To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on a portion of its variable-rate debt, the Company entered into interest rate swaps which effectively converted a portion of the debt from variable to fixed-rate borrowings during the term of the swap contracts. For certain derivative contracts whose fair values are based upon trades in liquid markets, such as interest rate swaps, valuation model inputs can generally be verified and valuation techniques do not involve significant management judgment. The fair values of such financial instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

As a result of our global operating activities the Company is exposed to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect our operating results and financial position. When deemed appropriate, the Company minimizes these risks through entering into foreign currency forward contracts. The foreign currency forward contracts are valued using broker quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or over-the counter markets. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within Level 2.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and are considered Level 1 on the fair value valuation hierarchy. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximated the carrying value at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company’s defined benefit pension plan assets consist primarily of equity security funds, debt security funds and temporary cash and cash equivalent investments. Generally, all plan assets are considered Level 2 based on the fair value valuation hierarchy. These investments are comprised of a number of investment funds that invest in a diverse portfolio of assets including equity securities, corporate and governmental bonds, and money markets. Trusts are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) as determined by their custodian. NAV represent the accumulation of the unadjusted quoted close prices on the reporting date for the underlying investments divided by the total shares outstanding at the reporting dates. The 2013 Notes are considered Level 2 based on the fair value valuation hierarchy.

The estimated fair values and related carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

	June 30, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Carry		Fair		Carry		Fair
In thousands	Value		Value		Value		Value

4.375% Senior Notes		250,000		260,890		250,000		253,135

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreement and the 2013 Notes were based on dealer quotes and represent the estimated amount the Company would pay to the counterparty to terminate the agreement.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Wabtec has two reportable segments—the Freight Segment and the Transit Segment. The key factors used to identify these reportable segments are the organization and alignment of the Company’s internal operations, the nature of the products and services, and customer type. The business segments are:

Freight Segment primarily manufactures and services components for new and existing freight cars and locomotives, builds new switcher locomotives, rebuilds freight locomotives, supplies railway electronics, positive train control equipment, signal design and engineering services, friction products, and provides related heat exchange and cooling systems. Customers include large, publicly traded railroads, leasing companies, manufacturers of original equipment such as locomotives and freight cars, and utilities.

Transit Segment primarily manufactures and services components for new and existing passenger transit vehicles, typically subway cars and buses, builds new commuter locomotives, friction products, and refurbishes subway cars. Customers include public transit authorities and municipalities, leasing companies, and manufacturers of subway cars and buses around the world.

The Company evaluates its business segments’ operating results based on income from operations. Corporate activities include general corporate expenses, elimination of intersegment transactions, interest income and expense and other unallocated charges. Since certain administrative and other operating expenses and other items have not been allocated to business segments, the results in the following tables are not necessarily a measure computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other companies.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein and Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation’s Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2014.

OVERVIEW

Wabtec is one of the world’s largest providers of value-added, technology-based products and services for the global rail industry. Our products are found on virtually all U.S. locomotives, freight cars and passenger transit vehicles, as well as in more than 100 countries throughout the world. Our products enhance safety, improve productivity and reduce maintenance costs for customers, and many of our core products and services are essential in the safe and efficient operation of freight rail and passenger transit vehicles. Wabtec is a global company with operations in 19 countries. In the first six months of 2014, about 46% of the Company’s revenues came from customers outside the U.S.

Management Review and Future Outlook

Wabtec’s long-term financial goals are to generate cash flow from operations in excess of net income, maintain a strong credit profile while minimizing our overall cost of capital, increase margins through strict attention to cost controls and implementation of the Wabtec Performance System, and increase revenues through a focused growth strategy, including global and market expansion, new products and technologies, aftermarket products and services, and acquisitions. In addition, management evaluates the Company’s current operational performance through measures such as quality and on-time delivery.

The Company monitors a variety of factors and statistics to gauge activity in key freight rail and passenger transit markets such as North and South America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. In these and other markets, the freight rail industry is largely driven by general economic conditions, which can cause fluctuations in rail traffic and the level of investment spending by railroads and governments to expand, upgrade, and modernize their networks. Based on those fluctuations, railroads and governments can increase or decrease purchases of new locomotives and freight cars, and spending on rail-related infrastructure. The passenger transit industry is driven mainly by the spending of government agencies and authorities as they maintain, expand and modernize their transit systems. In doing so, they will increase or decrease spending on new locomotives, transit/subway cars, buses and related infrastructure. Farebox revenues, the fees paid by riders to use public transit, also provide funding for maintaining and operating the systems. Many government entities at all levels are facing budget issues, which could have a negative effect on demand for the Company’s products and services.

In North America, the AAR compiles freight rail industry statistics such as carloadings, generally referred to as “rail traffic,” and the Railway Supply Institute (RSI) releases data on freight car orders, deliveries, and backlog. Through July 19, 2014 carloadings in North America increased 4.3% from 2013, including a 6.0% increase in intermodal traffic. According to the RSI, in the second quarter of 2014, the industry multi-year backlog of freight cars on order increased to about 100,000. In 2014, with some carbuilders already at capacity, we expect deliveries of new locomotives and new freight cars to be higher than in 2013. Future demand depends largely on the strength in the overall economy and in rail traffic volumes.

The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) provides quarterly transit ridership statistics for the U.S. and Canada. In its most recent report, APTA said first quarter 2014 ridership was consistent with the prior quarter in United States and Canada. In 2012, the U.S. Congress passed a new, two-year transportation funding bill, which maintained transit spending at about the same level, about $10.7 billion, as in prior years. Spending in 2014 is expected to remain at about the same level. The Company also expects deliveries of new subway cars and buses in 2014 to remain about the same as in 2013.

In 2008, the U.S. federal government enacted a rail safety bill that mandates the use of PTC technology, which includes on-board locomotive computer and related software, on a majority of the locomotives and track in the U.S. With our Electronic Train Management System^®, we are the leading supplier of this on-board train control equipment, and we are working with the U.S. Class I railroads, commuter rail authorities and other industry suppliers to implement this technology by the December 31, 2015 deadline set in the rail safety bill. The railroads and commuter rail authorities have said they cannot complete full implementation by the deadline. The U.S. Congress has discussed extending the deadline but has not done so. An extension of the deadline could affect the rate of industry spending on this technology. Wabtec’s PTC revenue was about $145 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Wabtec continues to expand its presence in freight rail and passenger transit markets outside the U.S., particularly in Europe, Asia-Pacific and South America. In Europe, the majority of the rail system serves the passenger transit market, which is larger than the transit market in the U.S. Our presence in the U.K., Germany and Italy has positioned the Company to take advantage of this market. Asia-Pacific is a growth market and our various joint ventures and direct exports to China have positioned the Company to take advantage of this growth. Australia has also been an area of expansion for the Company as commodity suppliers use our products to meet the demands of their regional customers. In Brazil, the Company is delivering on a PTC contract, has expanded locations and has completed two acquisitions, allowing us to increase our sales in that market.

Current conditions in these international markets vary based on general economic factors and specific freight rail and passenger transit drivers, as mentioned above. In its most recent quarterly data, the Office of Rail Regulation in the U.K. reported an increase in passenger ridership of 7% and a 5.6% increase in freight moved. In Germany, the government statistics bureau reported an increase of 0.5% for passenger ridership in 2013, and an increase in rail freight transport of 4.4% in the first quarter of 2014. In China, the government said China Railway Corporation increased railway investment by 9% in the first quarter of 2014, compared to the year-ago quarter. Russian Railways announced an increase of 0.4% in passenger ridership in the first six months of 2014 compared to the year-ago period, and it said freight tons loaded were 1% lower than the year-ago period.

In 2014 and beyond, general economic and market conditions in our key markets could have an impact on our sales and operations. To the extent that these factors cause instability of capital markets, shortages of raw materials or component parts, longer sales cycles, deferral or delay of customer orders or an inability to market our products effectively, our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In addition, we face risks associated with our four-point growth strategy including the level of investment that customers are willing to make in new technologies developed by the industry and the Company, and risks inherent in global expansion. When necessary, we will modify our financial and operating strategies to reflect changes in market conditions and risks.

Second Quarter 2014 Net Sales	$	411,502		$	319,566	$	731,068

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $93.1 million to $731.1 million from $638.0 million. The increase is primarily due to a $24.4 million increase for Specialty Products and Electronics sales from higher demand for freight original equipment products and aftermarket electronic products and $18.8 million for Brake Products sales due to higher demand for original equipment brakes for freight customers and aftermarket brakes from certain transit authorities. Acquisitions increased sales $39.6 million and favorable foreign exchange increased sales $11.3 million.

Freight Segment sales increased by $56.7 million, or 16.0%, primarily due to an increase of $20.6 million for Specialty Products and Electronics sales from higher demand for freight original equipment rail products, positive train control electronics, and aftermarket rail products; $17.4 million for Brake Products due to higher demand for original equipment brakes. These increases were partially offset by $12.0 million in lower sales for original equipment freight locomotives. Acquisitions increased sales by $24.1 million, while unfavorable foreign exchange decreased sales by $1.3 million.

Transit Segment sales increased by $36.4 million, or 12.9%, due to $3.8 million for Specialty Products and Electronics sales from higher demand for transit original equipment electronic products, $1.4 million from increased demand for aftermarket brakes from certain transit authorities, and $2.6 million for aftermarket services for locomotives. Acquisitions increased sales by $15.5 million, while favorable foreign exchange increased net sales by $12.6 million.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. Cost of Sales increased by $61.3 million to $506.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $445.1 million in the same period of 2013. In the second quarter of 2014, cost of sales, as a percentage of sales was 69.3% compared to 69.8% in the same period of 2013.

Raw material costs were approximately 43% and 42% as a percentage of sales in the second quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Labor costs were approximately 11% and 12% as a percentage of sales in the second quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Overhead costs were approximately 14% in the second quarters of 2014 and 2013. Freight Segment raw material costs increased as a percentage of sales to approximately 43% in the second quarter of 2014 from 41% in the same period of 2013. Freight Segment labor costs were approximately 10% and 11% as a percentage of sales in the second quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively, and overhead costs were approximately 14% as a percentage of sales in the second quarters of 2014 and 2013. Transit Segment raw material costs as a percentage of sales increased from approximately 43% in the second quarter of 2013 to 44% in the same period of

2014. Transit Segment labor costs were approximately 13% as a percentage of sales in the second quarters of 2014 and 2013, and overhead costs remained unchanged at 15% for both the second quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2013..

In general, raw material costs as a percentage of sales increased due to the higher mix of revenue generated from freight and transit original equipment sales and aftermarket services, which have a higher raw material component as cost of sales. Overhead costs vary as a percentage of sales depending on product mix and changes in sales volume

Included in cost of sales is warranty expense. The provision for warranty expense is generally established for specific losses, along with historical estimates of customer claims as a percentage of sales, which can cause variability in warranty expense between quarters. Warranty expense was $1.5 million higher in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013. As a percentage of sales, warranty expense was 1.3% for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 1.5% for the same period in the previous year.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2014 increased $31.8 million to $224.7 million from $192.9 million and the gross profit margin increased 50 basis points to 30.7%. These increases are due to higher sales volume and the reasons discussed above.

Operating expenses The following table shows our operating expenses for the periods indicated:

	Three months ended June 30,
			Percentage of					Percentage of
In thousands	2014		Sales			2013		Sales
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	72,982		10.0	%	$	63,874		10.0	%
Engineering expenses		14,221		1.9	%		11,280		1.8	%
Amortization expense		5,132		0.7	%		5,173		0.8	%
Total operating expenses	$	92,335		12.6	%	$	80,327		12.6	%

Total operating expenses were 12.6% of sales for the second quarters of 2014 and 2013. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $9.1 million, or 14.3%, primarily due to $4.5 million of additional expenses from acquisitions and $1.5 million for incentive and non-cash compensation expense. Engineering expense increased by $2.9 million primarily due to a $1.4 million increase related to new product development and $0.8 million related to acquisitions. Costs related to engineering for specific customer contracts are included in cost of sales. Amortization expense remained stable period over period.

The following table shows our segment operating expense for the periods indicated:

	Three months ended June 30,
					Percent
In thousands	2014		2013		Change
Freight Segment	$	43,185	$	39,066		10.5	%
Transit Segment		44,433		39,321		13.0	%
Corporate		4,717		1,940		(143	)%
Total operating expenses	$	92,335	$	80,327		14.9	%

Freight Segment operating expenses increased $4.1 million, or 10.5%, in the second quarter of 2014 but decreased 50 basis points to 10.5% of sales. The increase primarily relates to $1.8 million of incremental selling, general and administrative expense and $0.3 million of incremental engineering expense from acquisitions, and an increase of $2.2 million in selling, general and administrative expense supporting the higher sales volume.

Transit Segment operating expenses increased $5.1 million, or 13.0%, in the second quarter of 2014, remaining consistent period over period. The increase is primarily related to $2.7 million of incremental selling, general, and administrative expense and $0.8 million of incremental engineering expense from acquisitions.

Corporate non-allocated operating expenses increased $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013.

Income from operations Income from operations totaled $132.3 million or 18.1% of sales in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $112.6 million or 17.6% of sales in the same period of 2013. Income from operations increased due to higher sales volume, partially offset by higher operating expenses discussed above.

Interest expense, net Interest expense, net, increased $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 due to higher debt balances resulting from acquisitions, partially offset by lower average interest rates.

Income taxes The effective income tax rate was 30.7% and 31.2% for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate is primarily due to an increase in foreign income taxed at lower statutory rates.

Net income Net income for the second quarter of 2014 was $88.7 million or $0.91 per diluted share compared to $74.6 million or $0.77 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. The increase in net income is due to higher sales volume, partially offset by higher operating expenses.

First Six Months of 2014 Net Sales	$	797,008		$	629,309		$	1,426,317

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $172.8 million to $1,426.3 million from $1,253.5 million. The increase is primarily due to a $68.7 million increase for Specialty Products and Electronics sales from higher demand for freight original equipment products and aftermarket electronic products and $31.5 million for Brake Products sales due to higher demand for original equipment brakes for freight customers and aftermarket brakes from certain transit authorities. Acquisitions increased sales $60.3 million and favorable foreign exchange increased sales $10.9 million.

Freight Segment sales increased by $128.5 million, or 19%, primarily due to an increase of $63.2 million for Specialty Products and Electronics sales from higher demand for freight original equipment rail products, positive train control electronics, and aftermarket rail products; $25.2 million for Brake Products due to higher demand for original equipment brakes. Acquisitions increased sales by $44.8 million, while unfavorable foreign exchange decreased sales by $9.0 million.

Transit Segment sales increased by $44.3 million, or 7.6%, due to $5.5 million for Specialty Products and Electronics sales from higher demand for transit original equipment electronic products and $6.3 million from increased demand for aftermarket brakes from certain transit authorities. These increases were partially offset by $1.8 million in lower sales for original equipment transit locomotives. Acquisitions increased sales by $15.5 million, while favorable foreign exchange increased net sales by $19.9 million.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. Cost of Sales increased by $114.3 million to $992.1 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to $877.7 million in the same period of 2013. In the first six months of 2014, cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 69.6% compared to 70.0% in the same period of 2013.

Raw material costs were approximately 43% as a percentage of sales in the first six months of 2014 and 2013 . Labor costs were approximately 11% and 12% as a percentage of sales in the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Overhead costs decreased as a percentage of sales to approximately 14% in the first six months of 2014 from approximately 15% in the same period of 2013. Freight Segment raw material costs increased as a percentage of sales to approximately 42% in the first six months of 2014 from 41% in the same period of 2013. Freight Segment labor costs were approximately 10% and 11% as a percentage of sales in the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively, and overhead costs were approximately 14% as a percentage of sales in the first six months of 2014 and 2013. Transit Segment raw material costs were approximately 45% and 44% as a percentage of sales in the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Transit Segment labor costs were approximately 13% as a percentage of sales in the first six months of 2014 and 2013, and overhead costs remained unchanged at 15% for both the first six months of 2014 and the first six months of 2013.

Included in cost of sales is warranty expense. The provision for warranty expense is generally established for specific losses, along with historical estimates of customer claims as a percentage of sales, which can cause variability in warranty expense between quarters. Warranty expense was $1.4 million higher in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013. As a percentage of sales, warranty expense was 1.1% for the first six months of 2014 and 2013.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased $58.5 million to $434.2 million from $375.8 million and the gross profit margin increased 40 basis points to 30.4%. These increases are due to higher sales volume and the reasons discussed above.

Operating expenses The following table shows our operating expenses for the periods indicated:

	Six months ended June 30,
			Percentage of					Percentage of
In thousands	2014		Sales			2013		Sales
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	143,063		10.0	%	$	128,174		10.2	%

Total operating expenses	$	180,058		12.6	%	$	159,548		12.7	%

Total operating expenses were 12.6% of sales for the first six months of 2014 compared to 12.7% for the same period in the previous year, a decrease of 10 basis points. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $14.9 million, or 11.6%, primarily due to $6.7 million of additional expenses from acquisitions and $2.0 million for incentive and non-cash compensation expense. Engineering expense increased by $4.6 million primarily due to a $3.2 million increase related to new product development and $1.4 million related to acquisitions. Costs related to engineering for specific customer contracts are included in cost of sales. Amortization expense increased $1.1 million, or 12.2%, due to amortization of intangibles associated with acquisitions.

The following table shows our segment operating expense for the periods indicated:

	Six months ended June 30,
					Percent
In thousands	2014		2013		Change
Freight Segment	$	86,240	$	76,051		13.4	%
Transit Segment		84,498		76,808		10.0	%
Corporate		9,320		6,689		(39	)%
Total operating expenses	$	180,058	$	159,548		12.9	%

Segment operating expenses consist of specific segment costs such as, sales and marketing, information technology, insurance, and audit and tax fees, allocated corporate costs, and other segment specific discrete charges. Certain corporate costs are allocated to the Freight and Transit Segments based on segment revenues.

Freight Segment operating expenses increased $10.2 million, or 13.4%, in the first six months of 2014 but decreased 10 basis points to 10.8% of sales. The increase primarily relates to $3.6 million of incremental selling, general and administrative expense and $0.6 million of incremental engineering expense from acquisitions, and an increase of $1.9 million in expenses allocated to the operating segments.

Transit Segment operating expenses increased $7.7 million, or 10.0%, in the first six months of 2014 and increased 5 basis points to 13.4% of sales. The increase is primarily related to an increase of $2.7 million of incremental selling, general, and administrative expense and $0.8 million of incremental engineering expense from acquisitions,

Corporate non-allocated operating expenses increased $2.6 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013.

Income from operations Income from operations totaled $254.2 million or 17.8% of sales in the first six months of 2014 compared to $216.2 million or 17.2% of sales in the same period of 2013. Income from operations increased due to higher sales volume, partially offset by higher operating expenses discussed above.

Interest expense, net Interest expense, net, increased $2.1 million in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 due to higher debt balances resulting from acquisitions, partially offset by lower average interest rates.

Income taxes The effective income tax rate was 31.2% and 31.0% for the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in the effective rate is primarily due to a benefit recorded in 2013 related to the extension of the R&D tax credit.

Net income Net income for the first six months of 2014 was $168.8 million or $1.74 per diluted share compared to $144.3 million or $1.49 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. The increase in net income is due to higher sales volume, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is provided primarily by operating cash flow and borrowings under the Company’s unsecured credit facility with a consortium of commercial banks. The following is a summary of selected cash flow information and other relevant data:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
In thousands	2014			2013
Cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities	$	137,659		$	45,096
Investing activities		(217,557	)		(123,847	)
Financing activities		24,585			81,071
Decrease in cash	$	(59,853	)	$	(1,261	)

Operating activities In the first six months of 2014 and 2013, cash provided by operations was $137.7 million and $45.1 million, respectively. In comparison to the first six months of 2013, cash provided by operations in 2014 resulted from reduced cash outflows for working capital compared to the prior year, coupled with higher operating results. The major components of the higher cash outflows were as follows: a positive change in accounts receivable of $11.2 million as the number of days to collect cash decreased, a positive change in accounts payable of $22.3 million , and a favorable change in accrued income taxes of $20.5 million, both due to payment timing.

Investing activities In the first six months of 2014 and 2013, cash used in investing activities was $217.6 million and $123.8 million, respectively. The major components of the cash outflow in 2014 relate to planned additions to property, plant and equipment of $18.4 million for continued investments in our facilities and manufacturing processes and $199.4 million in net cash paid for acquisitions. This compares to $14.6 million in property, plant, and equipment and $115.1 million in net cash paid for acquisitions in 2013. Refer to Note 3 of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information on acquisitions.

Financing activities In the first six months of 2014, cash provided by financing activities was $24.6 million, which included $266.9 million in proceeds from the revolving credit facility, $216.7 million of repayments of debt on the revolving credit facility, $4.4 million for the settlement of contingent purchase price obligations related to a prior year acquisition, $16.6 million for the repurchase of 222,200 shares of stock, and $7.7 million of dividend payments. In the first six months of 2013, cash provided by financing activities was $81.1 million, which included $244.8 million in proceeds from debt and $165.7 million of repayments of debt on the revolving credit facility and $4.8 million of dividend payments.

Company Stock Repurchase Plan

On December 11, 2013, the Board of Directors amended its stock repurchase authorization to $200.0 million of the Company’s outstanding shares. During the first six months of 2014, the Company repurchased 222,200 shares at an average price of $74.81 per share, leaving $183.4 million under the authorization. All purchases were on the open market.

The Company intends to purchase shares on the open market or in negotiated or block trades. No time limit was set for the completion of the programs which conforms to the requirements under the 2013 Refinancing Credit Agreement, as well as the Notes currently outstanding.

Capital Structure

On May 14, 2013, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock to 200.0 million shares. In addition, on May 14, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock in the form of a 100% stock dividend. The increase in the authorized shares and the stock split became effective on May 14, 2013 and June 11, 2013, respectively.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2014, the Company has recognized a total liability of $10.3 million for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. At this time, the Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of cash settlement for any of the unrecognized tax benefits due to the uncertainty of the timing and outcome of its audits and other factors.

Since December 31, 2013, there have been no other significant changes in the total amount of the Company’s contractual obligations or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

In the ordinary course of business, Wabtec is exposed to risks that increases in interest rates may adversely affect funding costs associated with its variable-rate debt. The Company’s variable rate debt represents 20% and 11% of total long-term debt at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. On an annual basis a 1% change in the interest rate for variable rate debt at June 30, 2014 would increase or decrease interest expense by about $1.0 million. To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on a portion of this variable-rate debt, the Company entered into a forward interest rate swap agreement which converts a portion of the debt from variable to fixed-rate borrowings during the term of the swap contract. Refer to Note 6 – Long Term Debt of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The Company is subject to certain risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates to the extent our operations are conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For the first six months of 2014, approximately 54% of Wabtec’s net sales were to customers in the United States, 12% in the United Kingdom, 6% in Canada, 5% in Mexico, 4% in Australia, 3% in Brazil, 2% in Germany and 14% in other international locations. To reduce the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, the Company has periodically entered into foreign currency forward contracts. Refer to “Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities” in Note 2 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information regarding foreign currency exchange risk.

Item 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Wabtec’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of Wabtec’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of June 30, 2014. Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that Wabtec’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Wabtec in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Wabtec in such reports is accumulated and communicated to Wabtec’s Management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in Wabtec’s “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Wabtec’s internal control over financial reporting.
