Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except for share and per share data and unless otherwise noted)
Note 1 – Description of the Business
FreightCar America, Inc. (“FreightCar”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”) operates primarily in North America through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, and designs and manufactures a wide range of railroad freight cars, completes railcar rebody services and railcar conversions that repurpose idled rail assets back into revenue service, supplies railcar parts, and services freight cars. The Company designs and builds high-quality railcars, including bulk commodity cars, covered hopper cars, intermodal and non-intermodal flat cars, mill gondola cars, coil steel cars, coal cars and boxcars, and also specializes in railcar repairs, complete rebody services and the conversion of railcars for re-purposed use. The Company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and has facilities in the following locations: Johnstown, Pennsylvania; Qingdao, People’s Republic of China; and Castaños, Coahuila, Mexico (the “Castaños Facility”).
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FreightCar and its 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, 2024 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 2023 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2023. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified, where necessary, to conform to the current year presentation. 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, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, the Warrant is classified as a liability and subject to fair value remeasurement at each balance sheet date. The fair value of the Warrant at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $
Note 11 – Mezzanine Equity
In May 2023, the Company issued to OC III LFE
The Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up. Dividends accrue at a rate of
The Company may redeem outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at any time by payment of the initial stated value plus accrued dividends. If the Company has not redeemed all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock on or prior to the fourth anniversary of issuance, the dividend rate will increase by
13
anniversary of issuance. If the Company does not redeem all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock within six months after receipt of a redemption request, OC III LFE will be entitled to certain limited voting rights.
The Preferred Stock has similar characteristics of an “Increasing Rate Security” as described by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5Q, Increasing Rate Preferred Stock. As a result, and as the Company has the ability to redeem all of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock before the occurrence of a Dividend Rate Increase, the discount on outstanding shares of Preferred Stock is considered an unstated dividend cost that is amortized over the period preceding commencement of the Dividend Rate Increase using the effective interest method, by charging imputed dividend cost against retained earnings, or additional paid in capital in the absence of retained earnings, and increasing the carrying amount of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock by a corresponding amount. Accordingly, the discount is amortized over four years using the effective yield method. Issuance costs of $

Note 15 – Derivatives
The Company’s operations and expenditures in its normal course of business are subject to opportunities and risks related to foreign currency fluctuations. The Company currently utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to protect against downward currency exposure by hedging Mexican Peso denominated expenses against the risk of volatility in foreign currency exchange rates between the Mexican Peso and the U.S. Dollar.
During 2023 and 2024, the Company entered into forward contracts to hedge the Company’s anticipated and probable Mexican Peso denominated expenses against the foreign currency rate exposure.
The Company assesses the assumed effectiveness of the contracts at each reporting period. The foreign currency derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company records unrealized gains or losses related to changes in the fair value of the forward contracts in other comprehensive income as long as the contracts are assumed to be effective. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to the condensed consolidated statements of operations on the same line as the items being hedged when the hedged item impacts earnings or upon determination that the contract is no longer assumed to be effective.
The notional amounts of outstanding foreign currency derivatives are as follows:

The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for Common Stock and participating securities. The Company’s participating securities are its grants of restricted stock which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. The Company allocates earnings between both classes; however, in periods of undistributed losses, they are only allocated to common shares as the unvested restricted stockholders do not contractually participate in losses of the Company. The Company computes basic earnings per share by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Warrants issued in connection with the Company's long-term debt were issued at a nominal exercise price and are considered outstanding at the date of issuance. The 2023 Warrant was issued
16
out-of-the money and the Company will apply the treasury stock method to the 2023 Warrant when computing earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period. 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, 2024 and 2023,

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects. We have used the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “likely,” “unlikely,” “intend” and similar expressions in this report to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. However, forward-looking statements inherently involve potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These potential risks and uncertainties relate to, among other things, the cyclical nature of our business; adverse economic and market conditions, including inflation; material disruption in the movement of rail traffic for deliveries; fluctuating costs of raw materials, including steel and aluminum; delays in the delivery of raw materials; our ability to maintain relationships with our suppliers of railcar components; our reliance upon a small number of customers that represent a large percentage of our sales; the variable purchase patterns of our customers and the timing of completion; delivery and customer acceptance of orders; the highly competitive nature of our industry; the risk of lack of acceptance of our new railcar offerings; and other competitive factors. The factors listed above are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include additional factors that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict the impact of all of these factors on our business, financial condition or results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We expressly disclaim any duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, in order to reflect changes in circumstances or expectations or the occurrence of unanticipated events except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.
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 are a diversified manufacturer of railcars and railcar components. We design and manufacture a broad variety of railcar types for transportation of bulk commodities and containerized freight products primarily in North America. We also provide railcar rebody services and railcar conversions that repurpose idled rail assets back into revenue service, supply railcar parts, and service freight cars. We have been manufacturing railcars since 1901.
Total net railcar orders received for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were 3,301 units, consisting of 1,906 new railcars and 1,395 rebuilt railcars, compared to orders for 2,341 units, consisting of 2,151 new railcars and 190 rebuilt railcars for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Total backlog of unfilled orders was 3,833 units at June 30, 2024, compared to 2,914 railcars as of December 31, 2023. The estimated sales value of the backlog was $382 million and $348 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The increase in the number of net railcar orders received for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period is primarily a reflection of improvement in the railcar equipment market.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2023
Revenues
Our consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $147.4 million compared to $88.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Manufacturing segment revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $142.5 million compared to $85.7 million for the corresponding prior year period. The $56.8 million increase in Manufacturing segment revenues was primarily driven by an increase in the volume of railcar units delivered during the quarter. Railcar deliveries in the three months ended June 30, 2024 totaled 1,159 units, consisting of 1,049 new railcars and 110 rebuilt railcars, compared to 760 units in the same period of 2023, consisting of 665 new railcars and 95 rebuilt railcars. Corporate and Other revenues were $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
18
Gross Profit
Our consolidated gross profit was $18.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Manufacturing segment gross profit was $16.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $5.4 million increase in consolidated gross profit and $4.3 million increase in Manufacturing segment gross profit primarily reflects a favorable volume variance.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $8.5 million compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $2.7 million increase in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation expenses of $0.9 million and legal expenses of $1.0 million. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.5 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were 0.4% of revenue, compared to 0.6% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $2.7 million increase in Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily a result of the previously mentioned increases in stock-based compensation expenses and legal expenses in the current year.
Gain on Sale of Railcars Available for Lease
There was no gain on sale of railcars available for lease for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Gain on sale of railcars available for lease for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.6 million and represented the gain on sale of 424 leased railcars with a net book value of $7.7 million.
Litigation Settlement
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a pre-tax litigation settlement of $3.2 million related to a dispute with a former lessee of our railcars. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we did not record any litigation settlements.
Operating Income (Loss)
Our consolidated operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $13.1 million compared to a $7.7 million consolidated operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 driven primarily by the previously mentioned gross profit, partially offset by the previously mentioned increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating income for the Manufacturing segment was $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to an operating income of $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, reflecting the increase in railcars delivered during the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Corporate and Other operating loss was $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $1.6 million increase in operating loss is primarily a result of the previously mentioned increases in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
There was no loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $14.9 million due to the settlement of the Term Loan Credit Agreement through the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock and the termination of the M&T Credit Agreement and Forbearance Agreement.
Income Taxes
Our income tax provision was $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to our income tax provision of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to an increase in the mix of forecasted earnings and permanent items generated mainly in jurisdictions with higher tax rates.
Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the changes and results discussed above, as well as the change in fair value of the Warrant liability, net income was $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net loss of $18.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. For
19
the three months ended June 30, 2024, basic net income per share was $0.12 and diluted net income per share was $0.11 compared to basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.73 for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
Revenues
Our consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $308.5 million compared to $169.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Manufacturing segment revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $298.3 million compared to $163.3 million for the corresponding prior year period. The $135 million increase in Manufacturing segment revenues was primarily driven by an increase in the volume of railcar units delivered during the current period, which includes the railcars impacted by the closure of the U.S.-Mexico border in December 2023. Railcar deliveries in the six months ended June 30, 2024 totaled 2,382 units, consisting of 2,272 new railcars and 110 rebuilt railcars, compared to 1,498 units in the same period of 2023, consisting of 1,304 new railcars and 194 rebuilt railcars. Corporate and Other revenues were $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Gross Profit
Our consolidated gross profit was $29.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $20.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Manufacturing segment gross profit was $24.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $9.4 million increase in consolidated gross profit and $6.6 million increase in Manufacturing segment gross profit primarily reflects a favorable volume variance.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $16.0 million compared to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $3.8 million increase in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a increases in stock-based compensation expenses of $1.7 million and legal expenses of $1.0 million. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $0.4 million decrease in Manufacturing selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily due to a $0.3 million decrease in consulting expenses. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were 0.3% of revenue, compared to 0.8% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $4.2 million increase in Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily a result of the previously mentioned increases in stock-based compensation expenses and legal expenses in the current year.
Gain on Sale of Railcars Available for Lease
There was no gain on sale of railcars available for lease for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Gain on sale of railcars available for lease for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.6 million and represented the gain on sale of 424 leased railcars with a net book value of $7.7 million.
Litigation Settlement
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a pre-tax litigation settlement of $3.2 million related to a dispute with a former lessee of our railcars. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we did not record any litigation settlements.
Operating Income (Loss)
Our consolidated operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $17.0 million compared to a $8.8 million consolidated operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 driven primarily by the previously mentioned gross profit, partially offset by the previously mentioned increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating income for the Manufacturing segment was $26.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to an operating income of $17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, reflecting the increase in railcars delivered during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Corporate and Other operating loss was $9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $1.3 million increase in operating loss is primarily a result of the previously mentioned increases in selling, general and administrative expenses.
20
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
There was no loss on extinguishment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Loss on extinguishment of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $14.9 million due to the settlement of the Term Loan Credit Agreement through the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock and the termination of the M&T Credit Agreement and Forbearance Agreement.
Income Taxes
Our income tax benefit was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to our income tax provision of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to an increase in the mix of forecasted earnings and permanent items generated mainly in jurisdictions with higher tax rates.
Net Loss
As a result of the changes and results discussed above, as well as the change in fair value of the Warrant liability, net loss was $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $23.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.41 compared to $0.93 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
(In thousands, except for share and per share data and unless otherwise noted)
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalent balances on hand and our credit and debt facilities outlined below.
Revolving Credit Facility
The Company had no outstanding debt and remaining availability of $39,586 under the Company’s revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $29,415 in outstanding debt and remaining availability of $10,853 under the revolving credit facility.
As of June 30, 2024, a revolving line of credit maturing on October 31, 2024 existed in the maximum aggregate principal amount of up to $45,000, secured by a standby letter of credit in the principal amount of $25,000 and the Company’s accounts receivable. In connection with the standby letter of credit, the Company has agreed to pay an affiliate of OCI III LFE (as defined below) a fee due and payable in cash of $375 per quarter.
The standby letter of credit bears interest at the prime rate of interest (“Prime”) plus 1.5%, or 10% as of June 30, 2024. Advances secured by the Company’s accounts receivable bear interest at Prime plus 2%, or 10.5% as of June 30, 2024.
Warrant
The Company issued warrants to OC III LFE II LP (“OC III LFE”) and various affiliates of OC III LFE (collectively, the “Warrantholder”) in previous years which are exercisable on the terms described in Note 10 - Warrants.
Preferred Shares
In May 2023, the Company issued to OC III LFE 85,412 shares of non-convertible Series C Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, with an initial stated and fair value of $85,412 or $1,000 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). As of June 30, 2024, 85,412 shares of the Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding. The Company classifies the Preferred Stock as mezzanine equity (temporary equity outside of permanent equity) since a deemed liquidation event following a change of control may require redemption of the Preferred Stock that is not solely within the control of the Company.
The Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up. Dividends accrue at a rate of 17.5% per annum on the initial stated value. Accrued dividends, whether or not declared, are cumulative. The Preferred Stock will not participate in any dividends paid to the holders of shares of Common Stock.
The Company may redeem the outstanding Preferred Stock at any time by payment of the initial stated value plus accrued dividends. If the Company has not redeemed on or prior to the fourth anniversary of issuance, the dividend rate will increase by 0.5% for every quarter thereafter until redeemed in full. OC III LFE has the right to request the Company redeem at any time after the sixth
21
anniversary of issuance. If the Company does not redeem within six months after receipt of a redemption request, OC III LFE will be entitled to certain limited voting rights.
Additional Liquidity Factors
Our restricted cash, restricted cash equivalents and restricted certificates of deposit balances were $2.5 million and $0.7 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Restricted deposits of $0.3 million as of each of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 relate to a customer deposit for the purchase of railcars. Restricted deposits of $0.1 million as of each of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are used to collateralize standby letters of credit with respect to performance guarantees. The standby letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2024 are a requirement as long as the performance guarantees are in place. Restricted deposits of $2.1 million and $0.3 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, are used to collateralize foreign currency derivatives.
Based on our current level of operations and known changes in planned volume based on our backlog, we believe that our cash balances will be sufficient to meet our expected liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. Our long-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance and our ability to continue to meet financial covenants under our revolving credit facilities, any other indebtedness and the availability of additional financing if needed. We may also require additional capital in the future to fund working capital for future railcar demand, 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.
Based upon our operating performance and capital requirements, we may, from time to time, be required to raise additional funds through additional offerings of our equity or debt 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.

Operating Activities. Our net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reflects net loss adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash flows from operating activities are affected by several factors, including fluctuations in business volume, contract terms for billings and collections, the timing of collections on our contract receivables, processing of payroll and associated taxes, payments to our suppliers and other operating activities. As some of our customers accept delivery of new railcars in train-set quantities, variations in our sales could lead to significant fluctuations in our operating profits and cash from operating activities.
Our net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $31.9 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $25.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 reflects changes in working capital, including a decrease in inventory of $63.7 million, offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $6.4 million. The decrease in inventory relates to inventory on hand at December 31, 2023 used in production of railcars delivered in the first half of 2024. The increase in accounts receivable relates to the timing of collections with current railcar builds based on contractual payment terms. Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 reflects changes in working capital, primarily an increase in inventory of $25.1 million related to inventory to be used in production of railcars to be delivered during the second half of 2023. VAT receivable decreased $3.0 million as a result of recovering VAT refunds during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
22
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $2.3 million and consisted of capital expenditures related to maintenance of current production lines of the Castaños Facility. Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $3.4 million and consisted of $8.4 million proceeds from the sale of railcars available for lease, net of selling costs, offset by capital expenditures of $5.0 million related to the expansion of the Castaños Facility.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $30.8 million which included net repayments on revolving line of credit of $29.4 million and principal payments on the finance lease of $1.3 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $3.7 million which primarily included net repayments on revolving line of credit of $16.7 million and $13.3 million proceeds from the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock, net of issuance costs.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures were $2.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $5.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease primarily due to the completion of the Castaños Facility expansion in 2023. We anticipate capital expenditures during 2024 to be in the range of $5.0 million to $7.0 million, primarily related to maintenance of current production lines at the Castaños Facility.
