Adam Roszkowski's questions to Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corp (WAB) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Adam Roszkowski, on for Ken Hoexter at Bank of America, requested insights into the financial shape of the second half of the year, specifically regarding revenue and margin cadence for the Freight and Transit segments, and followed up on the backlog pipeline.
Answer
CFO John Olin detailed a strong second-half outlook, with organic revenue growth accelerating and robust margin expansion. He noted H2 margins would be tempered slightly compared to H1 due to a mix shift towards more new locomotive deliveries and fewer modernizations. CEO Rafael Santana added that the strong 12-month backlog provides solid coverage for 2025 and growing visibility into 2026.
