    Railcar Deliveries

    Increased from 5,500 (Q2 2025) to 5,600 (Q3 2025)

    Slight growth in deliveries reflects minor operational improvements and consistent production performance compared to the previous period.

    Syndication Activity

    Increased from 800 (Q2 2025) to 1,700 (Q3 2025)

    A significant jump indicates enhanced liquidity and margin generation as the company ramped up its syndication efforts in Q3 relative to the lower baseline in Q2.

    New Railcar Orders

    Increased from 3,100 units ($400M) (Q2 2025) to 3,900 units (> $500M) (Q3 2025)

    Increased customer activity and market demand led to higher order volumes and value, showing a clear improvement from Q2 to Q3.

    Recurring Revenue

    Increased from $157M (39% growth from two years ago) (Q2 2025) to nearly $165M (close to 50% growth) (Q3 2025)

    Enhanced recurring revenue growth suggests improved customer retention and operational performance, outperforming the previous period’s growth rate.

    Global Backlog

    Decreased from 20,400 units valued at $2.6B (Q2 2025) to 19,000 units (Q3 2025)

    A slight decrease in backlog may be attributed to higher order fulfillment and shifting focus towards revenue visibility, despite a lower overall volume compared to Q2.

    Market Dynamics

    Shift from order delays in Q2 to improved order activity in Q3

    Improved market conditions in Q3, marked by overcoming previous uncertainties (e.g., U.S. trade policy and production adjustments), resulted in a steadier sales pipeline and better overall customer confidence compared to Q2.

    Leasing Fleet

    Stable Q2 performance evolving to 98% fleet utilization in Q3

    Stronger leasing outcomes are seen in Q3, with most lease renewals completed and high fleet utilization, reflecting better customer retention and operational efficiency compared to Q2’s more tentative renewal process.
