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”) operates primarily in North America through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, and manufactures a wide range of railroad freight cars, supplies railcar parts and leases freight cars. The Company designs and builds high-quality railcars, including coal cars, bulk commodity cars, covered hopper cars, intermodal and non-intermodal flat cars, mill gondola cars, coil steel cars and boxcars, and also specializes in the conversion of railcars for re-purposed use. The Company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and has facilities in the following locations: Johnstown, Pennsylvania; Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, and Castaños, Coahuila, Mexico (“Castaños”).

During 2019, the Company entered into a joint venture arrangement with Fabricaciones y Servicios de México, S.A. de C.V. (“Fasemex”), a Mexican company with operations in both Mexico and the United States to manufacture railcars in Castaños, in exchange for a 50% interest in the operation. Production of railcars at the Castaños facility began during the third quarter of 2020. On October 16, 2020, the Company acquired Fasemex’s 50% ownership in the joint venture. As of March 2021, the Company has moved all of its production to the Castaños facility.

The Company ceased operations at its Roanoke Virginia manufacturing facility (the “Roanoke Facility”) and vacated the facility as of March 31, 2020.  On September 10, 2020, the Company announced its plan to permanently close its manufacturing facility in Cherokee, Alabama (the “Shoals Facility”) in light of the ongoing cyclical industry downturn, which has been magnified by the global pandemic. The closure will reduce costs and align the Company’s manufacturing capacity with the current rail car market. The Company ceased production at the Shoals Facility in February 2021. See Note 14–Restructuring and Impairment Charges.

We are closely monitoring the spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and are continually assessing its potential effects on our business and our financial performance as well as the businesses of our customers and vendors. The Company cannot predict the duration or severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we cannot reasonably estimate the financial impact the COVID-19 outbreak will have on our results and significant estimates going forward.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FreightCar America, Inc. 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 months ended March 31, 2021 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 2020 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Note 3 – Revenue Recognition

The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenues by major source:

	Three months ended
	March 31,
		2021		2020
Railcar sales	$	28,929	$	1,526
Parts sales		2,328		2,213
Other sales		38		-
Revenues from contracts with customers		31,295		3,739
Leasing revenues		1,075		1,458
Total revenues	$	32,370	$	5,197

Contract Balances and Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable payments for railcar sales are typically due within 5 to 10 business days of invoicing, while payments from parts sales are typically due within 30 to 45 business days of invoicing. The Company has not experienced significant historical credit losses.

Contract assets represent the Company’s rights to consideration for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which the terms of the contract do not permit billing at the reporting date. The Company has no contract assets as of March 31, 2021. The Company had contract assets of $445 as of December 31, 2020 which were fully recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company may receive cash payments from customers in advance of the Company satisfying performance obligations under its sales contracts resulting in deferred revenue or customer deposits, which are considered contract liabilities. Deferred revenue and customer deposits are classified as either current or long-term in the Consolidated Balance Sheet based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the related revenue. Deferred revenue and customer deposits included in customer deposits, other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were $0 and $6,930 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Performance Obligations

The Company is electing not to disclose the value of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligation with a duration of one year or less as permitted by ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company had remaining unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2021 with expected duration of greater than one year of $14,850.

Note 4 – Segment Information

The Company’s operations comprise two operating segments, Manufacturing and Parts, and one reportable segment, Manufacturing. The Company’s Manufacturing segment includes new railcar manufacturing, used railcar sales, railcar leasing and major railcar conversions and rebuilds. The Company’s Parts operating segment is not significant for reporting purposes and has been combined with corporate and other non-operating activities as Corporate and Other.

Segment operating income is an internal performance measure used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker to assess the performance of each segment in a given period. Segment operating income includes all external revenues attributable to the segments as well as operating costs and income that management believes are directly attributable to the current production of goods and services. The Company’s internal management reporting package does not include interest revenue, interest expense or income taxes allocated to individual segments and these items are not considered as a component of segment operating income. Segment assets represent operating assets and exclude intersegment accounts, deferred tax assets and income tax receivables. The Company does not allocate cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to its operating segments as the Company’s treasury function is managed at the corporate level. Intersegment revenues were not material in any period presented.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets that were recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and the Company’s non-financial assets that were recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Railcars available for lease, net	$	-	$	-	$	13,175	$	13,175

The fair value of the Company’s warrant liability recorded in the Company’s financial statements, determined using the quoted price of the Company’s common stock in an active market, exercise price ($0.01/share) and number of shares exercisable at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, is a Level 2 measurement.

11

On September 10, 2020, the Company announced its plan to permanently close its Shoals Facility. In connection with the announcement, the Company estimated the fair value of the related asset group because it determined that an impairment trigger had occurred due to the shortened asset recoverability timeframe. Non-cash impairment charges of $8,978 for property, plant and equipment at the Shoals Facility and $17,540 for the right of use asset were recognized during September 2020. Assets held for sale represents property, plant and equipment to be sold or transferred to the Shoals landlord as consideration for the landlord’s entry into the lease amendment.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the oil and gas proppants (or “frac sand”) industry continued to experience economic pressure created by low oil prices, reduced fracking activity, and the ongoing economic impact of COVID-19. In particular, small cube covered hopper railcars are primarily used in North America to serve the frac sand industry. The Company believes that the events and circumstances that arose during the fourth quarter of 2020 constituted an impairment triggering event related to the small cube covered hopper car type in its leased railcar portfolio. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $16,952 related to its small cube covered hopper railcars. Additionally, the Company evaluated the ROU asset associated with its leased railcar portfolio of small cube covered hopper railcars and determined that these assets were impaired based on consideration of an expected decline in future cash flows over the remaining lease term, which resulted in an additional pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of approximately $1,999 during the fourth quarter of 2020.

Note 8 – Debt Financing and Revolving Credit Facilities

Siena Loan and Security Agreement

On October 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Siena Loan Agreement”) by and among the Company, as guarantor, and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”), and Siena Lending Group LLC, as lender (“Siena”). Pursuant to the Siena Loan Agreement, Siena provided an asset backed credit facility, in the maximum aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000, consisting of revolving loans.

The Siena Loan Agreement replaced the Company’s prior revolving credit facility under the Credit and Security Agreement (the “BMO Credit Agreement”) dated as of April 12, 2019, among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers and

12

guarantors, and BMO Harris Bank N.A., as lender, as amended from time to time, which was terminated effective October 8, 2020 and otherwise would have matured on April 12, 2024.

The Siena Loan Agreement has a term ending on October 8, 2023. Revolving loans outstanding thereunder bear interest, subject to the provisions of the Siena Loan Agreement, at the Base Rate (as defined in the Siena Loan Agreement) plus 3.00% per annum. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate on outstanding debt under the Siena Loan Agreement was 6.26%.

The Siena Loan Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility with maximum availability of $20,000, subject to borrowing base requirements set forth in the Siena Loan Agreement, which generally limit availability under the revolving credit facility to (a) 85% of the value of eligible accounts and (b) up to the lesser of (i) 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible inventory and (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, and as reduced by reserves established by Siena from time to time in accordance with the Siena Loan Agreement.

The Siena Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, limitations on future indebtedness, liens and investments. The Siena Loan Agreement also provides for customary events of default. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Siena Loan Agreement, each of the Loan Parties granted Siena a continuing lien upon certain assets of the Loan Parties to secure the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Siena Loan Agreement.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $7,039 in outstanding debt under the Siena Loan Agreement and remaining borrowing availability of $1,399. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $6,874 in outstanding debt under the Siena Loan Agreement and remaining borrowing availability of $9,701. The Company incurred $1,101 in deferred financing costs related to the Siena Loan Agreement. The deferred financing costs are presented as an asset and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the Siena Loan Agreement.

Term Loan Credit Agreement

On October 13, 2020, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as guarantor, FreightCar North America (“Borrower” and together with the Company and certain other subsidiary guarantors, collectively, the “Loan Parties”), CO Finance LVS VI LLC, as lender (the “Lender”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as disbursing agent and collateral agent (“Agent”). Pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Lender committed to the extension of a term loan credit facility in the principal amount of $40,000, consisting of a single term loan to be funded upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement, including stockholder approval of the issuance of the common stock underlying the Warrant described below (the funding date of such term loan, the “Closing Date”). FreightCar America, Inc. stockholders approved the issuance of the common stock underlying the Warrant at a special stockholders’ meeting on November 24, 2020. The $40,000 term loan closed and was funded on November 24, 2020. The Company incurred $2,872 in deferred financing costs related to the Term Loan Agreement. The deferred financing costs are presented as a reduction of the long-term debt balance and amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the term of the Term Loan Agreement.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement has a term ending five years following the Closing Date. The term loan outstanding under the Term Loan Credit Agreement bears interest, at Borrower’s option and subject to the provisions of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, at Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) or Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) for each such interest rate set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate on outstanding debt under the Term Loan Credit Agreement was 14.0%.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement has both affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, minimum liquidity, limitations on indebtedness, liens and investments. The Term Loan Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the related loan documents, each of the Loan Parties granted to Agent a continuing lien upon all of such Loan Parties’ assets to secure the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

Warrant

In connection with the entry into the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company issued to an affiliate of the Lender (the “Warrantholder”) a warrant (the “Warrant”), pursuant to that certain warrant acquisition agreement, dated as of October 13, 2020 (the “Warrant Acquisition Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Lender to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, equal to 23% of the outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis at the time the Warrant is exercised (after giving effect to such issuance). The Warrant is exercisable for a term of ten years from the date of the issuance of the Warrant. The Warrant was issued on November 24, 2020 after the Company received stockholder approval of the issuance of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant by the Warrantholder. In connection with the issuance of the Warrant, the Company and the Lender entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) as of the

13

Closing Date of November 24, 2020. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Warrant was exercisable for an aggregate of 5,289,542 and 5,307,539 shares, respectively of common stock of the Company with a per share exercise price of $0.01. The Company determined that the Warrant should be accounted for as a derivative instrument and classified as a liability on its Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily due to the instrument obligating the Company to settle the Warrant in a variable number of shares of common stock. The Warrant was recorded at fair value and is treated as a discount on the term loan. The discount on the associated debt is amortized over the life of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and included in interest expense.

The following schedule shows the change in fair value of the Warrant as of March 31, 2021.

Warrant liability as of December 31, 2020	$	12,730
Change in fair value		22,128
Warrant liability as of March 31, 2021	$	34,858

The change in fair value of the Warrant is reported on a separate line in the consolidated statement of operations. The Term Loan Credit Agreement is presented net of the unamortized discount and unamortized deferred financing costs.

SBA Paycheck Protection Program Loan

In March 2020, Congress passed the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), authorizing loans to small businesses for use in paying employees that they continue to employ throughout the global pandemic and for rent, utilities and interest on mortgages. In June 2020, Congress enacted the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (“PPPFA”), amending the PPP.

Loans obtained through the PPP, as amended, are eligible to be forgiven as long as the proceeds are used for qualifying purposes and certain other conditions are met. On April 16, 2020, the Company received a loan in the amount of $10,000 (the “PPP Loan”). Since the entire PPP Loan was used for payroll, utilities and interest, management anticipates that the majority of the PPP Loan will be forgiven. To the extent it is not forgiven, the Company would be required to repay that portion at an interest rate of 1% over a period of two years, with $7,500 due in 2021 and with $2,500 due in 2022. The Company filed an application for PPP Loan forgiveness on October 28, 2020 along with a request for extension of the term of the PPP Loan to five years.

M&T Credit Agreement

On April 16, 2019, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Freightcar Leasing Borrower”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “M&T Credit Agreement”) with M & T Bank, N.A., as lender (“M&T”). Pursuant to the M&T Credit Agreement, M&T extended a revolving credit facility to Freightcar Leasing Borrower in an aggregate amount of up to $40,000 for the purpose of financing railcars which will be leased to third parties.

On April 16, 2019, Freightcar Leasing Borrower also entered into a Security Agreement (the “M&T Security Agreement”) pursuant to which it granted a security interest in all of its assets to M&T to secure its obligations under the M&T Credit Agreement.

On April 16, 2019, FreightCar America Leasing, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and parent of Freightcar Leasing Borrower (“Freightcar Leasing Guarantor”), entered into (i) a Guaranty Agreement (the “M&T Guaranty Agreement”) pursuant to which Freightcar Leasing Guarantor guarantees the repayment and performance of certain obligations of Freightcar Leasing Borrower and (ii) a Pledge Agreement (the “M&T Pledge Agreement”) pursuant to which Freightcar Leasing Guarantor pledged all of the equity of Freightcar Leasing Borrower held by Freightcar Leasing Guarantor.

The loans under the M&T Credit Agreement are non-recourse to the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries other than the assets of Freightcar Leasing Borrower and Freightcar Leasing Guarantor.

The M&T Credit Agreement had a term ending on April 16, 2021 (the “Term End”). Loans outstanding thereunder will bear interest, accrued daily, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) or the Adjusted Base Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement).

The M&T Credit Agreement has both affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, maintaining an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.25:1.00, measured quarterly, and limitations on indebtedness, loans, liens and investments. The M&T Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, FreightCar Leasing Borrower had $9,940 and $10,105, respectively, in outstanding debt under the M&T Credit Agreement, which was collateralized by leased railcars with a carrying value of $6,936 and $6,975, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate on outstanding debt under the M&T Credit Agreement was 4.18%.

14

On August 7, 2020, FreightCar Leasing Borrower received notice (the “First Notice”) from M&T that, based on an appraisal (the “Appraisal”) conducted by a third party at the request of M&T with respect to the railcars in FreightCar Leasing Borrower’s Borrowing Base (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) under the M&T Credit Agreement, the unpaid principal balance under the M&T Credit Agreement exceeded the availability under the M&T Credit Agreement as of the date of the Appraisal by $5,081 (the “Payment Demand Amount”). In the First Notice, M&T Bank: (a) asserted that an Event of Default under the M&T Credit Agreement has occurred because FreightCar Leasing Borrower did not pay the Payment Demand Amount to M&T within five days of the asserted change in availability; (b) demanded payment of the amount within five days of the date of the First Notice; and (c) terminated the commitment to advance additional loans under the M&T Credit Agreement.

On December 18, 2020, FreightCar Leasing Borrower received a revised notice (the “Second Notice,” and together with the First Notice, the “Notices”) from M&T asserting that: (a) as a result of the continuing Event of Default that M&T alleged to have occurred under the M&T Credit Agreement, M&T has declared a default and accelerated and demands immediate payment by FreightCar Leasing Borrower of $10,114 (the “Outstanding Amount”); (b) FreightCar Leasing Borrower is liable for all interest that continues to accrue on the Outstanding Amount; and (c) FreightCar Leasing Borrower is liable for all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses as set forth in the M&T Credit Agreement.

On April 20, 2021, FreightCar Leasing Borrower received a notice from M&T that an Event of Default had occurred due to all amounts outstanding under the M&T Credit Agreement having not be paid by the Term End.

Long-term debt consists of the following as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2021		2020
M&T Credit Agreement outstanding	$	9,940	$	10,105
SBA Payroll Protection Program Loan outstanding		10,000		10,000
Siena Loan Agreement outstanding		7,039		6,874
Term Loan Credit Agreement outstanding		40,256		40,000
Total debt		67,235		66,979
Less Term Loan Credit Agreement discount		(8,438)		(8,892)
Less Term Loan Credit Agreement deferred financing costs		(2,671)		(2,814)
Total debt, net of discount and deferred financing costs		56,126		55,273
Less amounts due within one year		(19,315)		(17,605)
Long-term debt, net of current portion	$	36,811	$	37,668

The fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Note 9 – Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

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

		Pre-Tax		Tax		After-Tax
Three months ended March 31, 2021
Pension liability activity:
Reclassification adjustment for amortization of net loss (pre-tax other income)	$	156	$	-	$	156

		Pre-Tax		Tax		After-Tax
Three months ended March 31, 2020
Pension liability activity:
Reclassification adjustment for amortization of prior service cost (pre-tax other income)	$	140	$	-	$	140

15

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

	March 31,		December 31,
		2021		2020
Unrecognized pension cost, net of tax of $6,282 and $6,282, respectively	$	(11,607)	$	(11,763)

Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation

Total stock-based compensation was $2,662 and $227 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, there was $1,218 of unearned compensation expense related to restricted stock awards, which will be recognized over the remaining weighed average requisite service period of 26 months. As of March 31, 2021, there was $1,277 of unearned compensation related to time-vested stock options, which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period of 33 months.

2020 Grants of Stock Appreciation Rights

During 2020, the Company granted 1,139,464 cash settled stock appreciation rights to certain employees. Each stock appreciation right represents the right to receive a payment measured by the increase in the fair market value of one share of the Company’s stock from the date of grant of the stock appreciation right to the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right. The cash settled stock appreciation rights vest ratably over three years and have a contractual life of 10 years. Cash settled stock appreciation rights are classified as liabilities. The Company measures the fair value of unvested cash settled stock appreciation rights using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and remeasures the fair value of the award each reporting period until the award is vested. Once vested the Company immediately recognizes compensation cost for any changes in fair value of cash settled stock appreciation rights until settlement. Fair value of vested cash settled stock appreciation rights represents the fair market value of one share of the Company’s stock on the measurement date less the exercise price per share. Compensation cost for cash settled stock appreciation rights is trued up each reporting period for changes in fair value pro-rated for the portion of the requisite service period rendered.

2021 Grants of Stock Appreciation Rights

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company granted 1,735,500 cash settled stock appreciation rights to certain employees. Each of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights allows the holder to receive, upon exercise, and subject to the vesting restrictions, a distribution in cash equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price. The 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights vest ratably over three years and have a contractual life of 10 years. Vesting of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights is contingent upon the achievement of a thirty-day trailing average fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock of 133.3% ($3.17) or more of the exercise price per share ($2.38). When vesting of an award of stock-based compensation is dependent upon the attainment of a target stock price, the award is considered to be subject to a market condition.

The 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights are classified as liabilities. Because vesting of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights included a market condition, the grant date fair market value of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights of $1.74 was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the market condition for the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights was met. Thereafter the Company measures the fair value of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and remeasures the fair value of the award each reporting period until the award is vested. Once vested, the Company immediately recognizes compensation cost for any changes in fair value of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights until settlement. Fair value of vested 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights represents the fair market value of one share of the Company’s stock on the measurement date less the exercise price per share. Compensation cost for the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights is trued up each reporting period for changes in fair value pro-rated for the portion of the requisite service period rendered.

The estimated fair value of the cash settled stock appreciation rights as of March 31, 2021 was $12,656. Stock-based compensation for cash settled stock appreciation rights was $2,553 and $20 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

16

The fair value of unvested cash settled stock appreciation rights as of March 31, 2021 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions:

				Expected	Risk Free
			Expected	Dividend	Interest	Fair Value
Grant Year	Grant Date	Expected Life	Volatility	Yield	Rate	Per Award
2020	1/24/2020	5.1 years	71.67%	0.00%	0.93%	$5.45
2020	9/14/2020	5.5 years	70.66%	0.00%	1.00%	$5.30
2020	11/30/2020	5.7 years	70.21%	0.00%	1.03%	$5.11
2021	1/5/2021	5.8 years	69.82%	0.00%	1.05%	$5.19

Note 11 – Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a qualified, defined benefit pension plan that was established to provide benefits to certain employees. The plan is frozen and participants are no longer accruing benefits. Generally, contributions to the plan are not less than the minimum amounts required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and not more than the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. The plan assets are held by an independent trustee and consist primarily of equity and fixed income securities.

The components of net periodic benefit cost (benefit) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, are as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
Pension Benefits	2021		2020
Interest cost	$	236	$	358
Expected return on plan assets		(584)		(609)
Amortization of unrecognized net loss		156		140
	$	(192)	$	(111)

The Company made no contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plan for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company expects to make no contributions to its pension plan in 2021.

The Company also maintains qualified defined contribution plans, which provide benefits to employees based on employee contributions and employee earnings with discretionary contributions allowed.

Note 12 – Contingencies and Legal Settlements

The Company is involved in various warranty and repair claims and, in certain cases, related pending and threatened legal proceedings with its customers in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company’s potential losses in excess of the accrued warranty and legal provisions, if any, are not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company received cash payments of $15,733 and $1,410 during 2015 and 2017, respectively, for Alabama state and local incentives related to its capital investment and employment levels at the Shoals Facility. Under the incentive agreements a certain portion of the incentives may be repayable by the Company if targeted levels of employment are not maintained for a period of up to six years from the date of the incentive. In April 2021, the Company received a letter from representatives of the Shoals Economic Development Authority (“SEDA”) regarding repayment of local incentives. The Company views this notice as premature, as the Company believes that any repayment obligations have not yet arisen under the terms of the incentive agreements. In the event that any portion of the incentives is required to be paid back, the Company believes the amount is unlikely to exceed the deferred liability balance of $4,167 as of March 31, 2021.

17

As part of a settlement agreement reached with one of its customers during 2019, the Company agreed to pay $7,500 to settle all claims related to a prior year’s commercial dispute. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company paid $1,000 and $3,500, respectively, of the settlement amount and the remaining $3,000 will be paid over a period of 15 months or on an accelerated basis in the event both parties agree to accelerate delivery of railcars currently in the backlog.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company is involved in certain other pending and threatened legal proceedings, including commercial disputes and workers’ compensation and employee matters arising out of the conduct of its business. The Company has reserved $0.5 million to cover probable and estimable liabilities with respect to these matters.

Note 13 – Loss Per Share

The weighted-average common shares outstanding are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021	2020
Weighted average common shares outstanding	14,702,964	12,366,880
Issuance of warrants	5,298,541	-
Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic	20,001,505	12,366,880
Dilutive effect of employee stock options and nonvested share awards	-	-
Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding	20,001,505	12,366,880

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. 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 March 31, 2021 and 2020, 1,383,191 and 1,039,850 shares, respectively, were not included in the weighted average common shares outstanding calculation as they were anti-dilutive.

Note 14 – Restructuring and Impairment Charges

On September 10, 2020, the Company announced its plan to permanently close its Shoals Facility in light of the ongoing cyclical industry downturn, which has been magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic. On October 8, 2020, the Company reached an agreement with the Shoals facility owner and landlord, to shorten the Shoals lease term by amending the expiration date to the end of February 2021. In addition, the landlord agreed to waive the base rent payable under the original lease for the months of October 2020 through February 2021. Property, plant and equipment with an estimated fair value of $10,148 was sold or transferred to the Shoals landlord during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as consideration for the landlord’s entry into the lease amendment and the aforementioned rent waiver. Restructuring and impairment charges related to the plant closure for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily represented costs related to relocating some of the facility’s equipment to Castaños.

On July 22, 2019, the Company announced its intention to close its Roanoke, Virginia manufacturing facility as part of its “Back to Basics” strategy. The Company ceased operations at the facility as of November 29, 2019 and terminated its leases for the facility effective as of March 31, 2020. Restructuring and impairment charges related to the plant closure for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily represented impairment charges for property, plant and equipment and costs related to relocating some of the facility’s equipment to other manufacturing locations.

18

Restructuring and impairment charges are reported as a separate line item on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and are detailed below:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

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 risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties relate to, among other things, risks relating to the potential financial and operational impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the cyclical nature of our business, the competitive nature of our industry, 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, fluctuating costs of raw materials, including steel and aluminum, and delays in the delivery of raw materials, the risk of lack of acceptance of our new railcar offerings by our customers, risks relating to our relationship with our unionized employees and their unions 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 rebuild and convert railcars and sell forged, cast and fabricated parts for all of the railcars we produce, as well as those manufactured by others. We also lease freight cars. Our primary customers are financial institutions, railroads and shippers.

During 2019, we entered into a joint venture arrangement with Fabricaciones y Servicios de México, S.A. de C.V. (“Fasemex”), a Mexican company with operations in both Mexico and the United States, to manufacture railcars in Castaños, Coahuila, Mexico (“Castaños”), in exchange for a 50% interest in the operation. Production of railcars at the facility began during the third quarter of 2020. On October 16, 2020, we acquired Fasemex’s 50% ownership in the joint venture. As of March 2021, we have moved all of our production to the Castaños facility.

We ceased operations at the Roanoke Facility and vacated the facility as of March 31, 2020.  On September 10, 2020, we announced our plan to permanently close the Shoals Facility in light of the ongoing cyclical industry downturn, which has been magnified by the global pandemic. The closure will reduce costs and align our manufacturing capacity with the current rail car market. We ceased production at the Shoals Facility in February 2021.

Total new orders received for railcars for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were 300 units, consisting of 200 new railcars and 100 rebuilt railcars, compared to orders for 300 units, all of which were rebuilt railcars for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Total backlog of unfilled orders was 1,380 units at March 31, 2021, compared to 1,389 railcars as of December 31, 2020. The estimated sales value of the backlog was $137 million and $146 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The increase in the number of orders for new railcars for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the prior year period is a reflection of improvement in the railcar equipment market.

Since first being reported in December 2019, the global pandemic continues to create a general disruption in the world economy.  We are closely monitoring and managing the impacts of the global pandemic on our business, as well as the significant decline in global economic activity, and governmental reactions to the pandemic. The United States government and the Mexico Federal Ministry of Health and Federal Ministry of Communications and Transportation cited the railcar industry as critical to the United States and Mexico’s response efforts to the pandemic. The railcar industry is susceptible to a reduction in demand associated with the overall

20

economic slowdown caused by the virus. In addition, public health organizations and national, state and local governments have implemented measures to combat the spread of COVID-19, including restrictions on movement such as quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders and social distancing ordinances and restricting or prohibiting some forms of business activity.  Accordingly, our ability to predict industry demand and establish forecasts for sales, operating results and cash flows may be impacted. Furthermore, our plant operations and supply chain are potentially susceptible to large-scale outbreaks of the virus within our workforce or that of any of our suppliers.  

Our management is focused on mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the risk to our employees. We have taken a number of precautionary measures including implementing detailed cleaning and disinfecting processes at our facilities, adhering to social distancing protocols, suspending non-essential air travel and encouraging employees to work remotely, when possible.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2020

Revenues

Our consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $32.4 million compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Manufacturing segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $30.0 million compared to $2.9 million for the corresponding prior year quarter. The $27.1 million increase in Manufacturing segment revenues was largely driven by an increase in the volume of railcar units delivered, the impact of which was partially offset by a lower average selling price for railcars in 2021. Railcar deliveries totaled 309 units for the first quarter of 2021, consisting of 160 new railcars and 149 rebuilt railcars, compared to 11 units, all of which were new railcars, in the first quarter of 2020. Corporate and Other revenues were $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Gross Profit (Loss)

Our consolidated gross profit was $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to a gross loss of $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Manufacturing segment gross profit was $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to a gross loss of $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The $10.6 million increase in consolidated gross profit and $10.9 million increase Manufacturing segment gross profit reflect a favorable volume variance and a reduction in overhead costs due to the restructuring of our manufacturing footprint.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $9.2 million compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included increases in stock-based compensation expenses of $2.4 million and legal costs of $0.5 million, which were partially offset by decreases in salaries and wages of $0.9 million and insurance costs of $0.6 million. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and was primarily due to decreases in allocated costs, salaries and wages and the provision for doubtful accounts. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were 1.7% of revenue, compared to 54.2% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included increases in stock-based compensation expenses of $2.4 million, allocated costs of $0.8 million and legal costs of $0.5 million, which were partially offset by decreases in salaries and wages of $0.7 million and insurance costs of $0.6 million.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

On September 10, 2020, we announced our plan to permanently close our Shoals facility in light of the ongoing cyclical industry downturn, which has been magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic. On October 8, 2020, we reached an agreement with the Shoals facility owner and landlord to shorten the Shoals lease term by amending the expiration date to the end of February 2021. In addition, the landlord agreed to waive the base rent payable under the original lease for the months of October 2020 through February 2021. Property, plant and equipment with an estimated fair value of $10.1 million was sold or transferred to the Shoals landlord during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as consideration for the landlord’s entry into the lease amendment and the aforementioned rent waiver. Restructuring and impairment charges of $6.7 million related to the plant closure for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily represented costs related to relocating some of the facility’s equipment to Castaños as well as shutting down the Shoals facility.

21

On July 22, 2019, we announced our intention to close our Roanoke, Virginia manufacturing facility as part of our “Back to Basics” strategy. We ceased operations at the facility as of November 29, 2019 and terminated our leases for the facility effective as of March 31, 2020. Restructuring and impairment charges of $0.9 million related to the plant closure for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily represented impairment charges for property, plant and equipment and costs related to relocating some of the facility’s equipment to other manufacturing locations.

Operating Loss

Our consolidated operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $14.0 million compared to $17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Operating loss for the Manufacturing segment was $5.5 million compared to $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, reflecting increases in Manufacturing segment gross profit of $10.9 million and previously described decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.1 million, which were partially offset by increases in Manufacturing segment restructuring and impairment charges of $5.7 million, compared to the 2020 period. Corporate and Other operating loss was $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to the previously described $2.8 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Income Taxes

Our income tax benefit was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 0.4%. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 0.0%.

Net Loss

As a result of the changes and results discussed above, net loss was $38.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $16.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, basic and diluted net loss per share was $1.92 compared to $1.29 for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalent balances on hand and our credit and debt facilities outlined below.

The Company manufactures and provides essential products and services to a variety of critical infrastructure customers, and it intends to continue providing its products and services to these customers. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. and Mexico governments, state and local government officials, and other international governments to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Accordingly, our ability to predict industry demand and establish forecasts for sales, operating results and cash flows may be impacted.

SBA Paycheck Protection Program Loan

In March 2020, Congress passed the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), authorizing loans to small businesses for use in paying employees that they continue to employ throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and for rent, utilities and interest on mortgages. In June 2020, Congress enacted the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (“PPPFA”), amending the PPP.

Loans obtained through the PPP, as amended, are eligible to be forgiven as long as the proceeds are used for qualifying purposes and certain other conditions are met. On April 16, 2020, the Company received a loan in the amount of $10.0 million through the PPP (the ”PPP Loan”). Since the entire loan was used for payroll, utilities and interest, management anticipates that the majority of the PPP Loan will be forgiven. To the extent it is not forgiven, the Company would be required to repay that portion at an interest rate of 1% over a period of two years, with $7.5 million due in 2021 and $2.5 million due in 2022. The Company filed an application for PPP Loan forgiveness on October 28, 2020 along with a request for extension of the term of the PPP Loan to five years.

Siena Loan and Security Agreement

On October 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Siena Loan Agreement”) by and among the Company, as guarantor, and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”), and Siena Lending Group LLC, as lender (“Siena”). Pursuant to the Siena Loan Agreement, Siena provided an asset backed credit facility, in the maximum aggregate principal amount of up to $20.0 million, consisting of revolving loans.

22

The Siena Loan Agreement replaced the Company’s prior revolving credit facility under the Credit and Security Agreement (the “BMO Credit Agreement”) dated as of April 12, 2019, among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers and guarantors, and BMO Harris Bank N.A., as lender, as amended from time to time, which was terminated effective October 8, 2020 and otherwise would have matured on April 12, 2024.

The Siena Loan Agreement has a term ending on October 8, 2023. Revolving loans outstanding thereunder bear interest, subject to the provisions of the Siena Loan Agreement, at the Base Rate (as defined in the Siena Loan Agreement) plus 3.00% per annum. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate on outstanding debt under the Siena Loan Agreement was 6.26%.

The Siena Loan Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility with maximum availability of $20.0 million, subject to borrowing base requirements set forth in the Siena Loan Agreement, which generally limit availability under the revolving credit facility to (a) 85% of the value of eligible accounts and (b) up to the lesser of (i) 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible inventory and (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, and as reduced by reserves established by Siena from time to time in accordance with the Siena Loan Agreement.

The Siena Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on future indebtedness, liens and investments. The Siena Loan Agreement also provides for customary events of default. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Siena Loan Agreement, each of the Loan Parties granted Siena a continuing lien upon certain assets of the Loan Parties to secure the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Siena Loan Agreement.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $7.0 million in outstanding debt under the Siena Loan Agreement and remaining borrowing availability of $1.4 million. The Company incurred $1.1 million in deferred financing costs related to the Siena Loan Agreement. The deferred financing costs are presented as an asset and amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the term of the Siena Loan Agreement.

Term Loan Credit Agreement

On October 13, 2020, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as guarantor, FreightCar North America (“Borrower” and together with the Company and certain other subsidiary guarantors, collectively, the “Loan Parties”), CO Finance LVS VI LLC, as lender (the “Lender”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as disbursing agent and collateral agent (“Agent”). Pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Lender committed to the extension of a term loan credit facility in the principal amount of $40.0 million, consisting of a single term loan to be funded upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement, including stockholder approval of the issuance of the common stock underlying the Warrant described below (the funding date of such term loan, the “Closing Date”). FreightCar America, Inc. stockholders approved the issuance of the common stock underlying the Warrant at a special stockholders’ meeting on November 24, 2020. The $40.0 million term loan closed and was funded on November 24, 2020. The Company incurred $2.9 million in deferred financing costs related to the Term Loan Agreement. The deferred financing costs are presented as a reduction to the long-term debt balance and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the Term Loan Agreement.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement has a term ending five years following the Closing Date. The term loan outstanding under the Term Loan Credit Agreement bears interest, at Borrower’s option and subject to the provisions of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, at Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) or Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) for each such interest rate set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate on outstanding debt under the Term Loan Credit Agreement was 14.0%.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement has both affirmative and negative covenants, including minimum liquidity, limitations on indebtedness, liens and investments. The Term Loan Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the related loan documents, each of the Loan Parties granted to Agent a continuing lien upon all of such Loan Parties’ assets to secure the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

On May 14, 2021, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Second Amendment”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Lender advanced additional term loans in the principal amount of $16.0 million to the Company (“Second Amendment Loans”).

Warrant

In connection with the entry into the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company issued to an affiliate of the Lender (the “Warrantholder”) a warrant (the “Warrant”), pursuant to that certain warrant acquisition agreement, dated as of October 13, 2020 (the “Warrant Acquisition Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Lender to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, equal to 23% of the outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis at the time the Warrant is exercised (after giving effect to such issuance). The Warrant is exercisable for a term of ten years from the date of the issuance of the Warrant. The Warrant was issued on November 24, 2020 after the Company received stockholder approval of the issuance of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant by the Warrantholder. In connection with the issuance of the Warrant, the Company and the Lender entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) as of the Closing Date of November 24, 2020. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Warrant was exercisable for an aggregate of 5,289,542 and 5,307,539 shares, respectively, of common stock of the Company with a per share exercise price of $0.01. The Company determined that the Warrant should be accounted for as a derivative instrument and classified as a liability on its Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily due to the instrument obligating the Company to settle the Warrant in a variable number of shares of common stock. The Warrant was recorded as a liability at fair value and is treated as a discount on the associated debt. The discount on the associated debt is amortized over the life of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and included in interest expense.

As part of the Second Amendment Loans executed on May 14, 2021, if any amount remains outstanding on March 31, 2022, the Company shall immediately issue to the Lenders additional Warrants to purchase 5.0% of the outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis at the date of any partial or full exercise of such Warrants at the agreed purchase price of $0.01 per share.

M&T Credit Agreement

On April 16, 2019, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Freightcar Leasing Borrower”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “M&T Credit Agreement”) with M & T Bank, N.A., as lender (“M&T”). Pursuant to the M&T Credit Agreement, M&T extended a revolving credit facility to Freightcar Leasing Borrower in an aggregate amount of up to $40.0 million for the purpose of financing railcars which will be leased to third parties.

On April 16, 2019 Freightcar Leasing Borrower also entered into a Security Agreement (the “M&T Security Agreement”) pursuant to which it granted a security interest in all of its assets to M&T to secure its obligations under the M&T Credit Agreement.

On April 16, 2019, FreightCar America Leasing, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and parent of Freightcar Leasing Borrower (“Freightcar Leasing Guarantor”), entered into (i) a Guaranty Agreement (the “M&T Guaranty Agreement”) pursuant to which Freightcar Leasing Guarantor guarantees the repayment and performance of certain obligations of Freightcar Leasing Borrower and (ii) a Pledge Agreement (the “M&T Pledge Agreement”) pursuant to which Freightcar Leasing Guarantor pledged all of the equity of Freightcar Leasing Borrower held by Freightcar Leasing Guarantor.

The loans under the M&T Credit Agreement are non-recourse to the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries other than the assets of Freightcar Leasing Borrower and Freightcar Leasing Guarantor.

The M&T Credit Agreement had a term ending on April 16, 2021 (the ”Term End”. Loans outstanding thereunder will bear interest, accrued daily, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) or the Adjusted Base Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement).

The M&T Credit Agreement has both affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, maintaining an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.25:1.00, measured quarterly, and limitations on indebtedness, loans, liens and investments. The M&T Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, FreightCar Leasing Borrower had $9.9 million and $10.1 million, respectively, in outstanding debt under the M&T Credit Agreement which was collateralized by leased railcars with a carrying value of $6.9 million and $7.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate on outstanding debt under the M&T Credit Agreement was 4.18%.

On August 7, 2020, FreightCar Leasing Borrower received notice (the “First Notice”) from M&T Bank, N.A. (“M&T”) that, based on an appraisal (the “Appraisal”) conducted by a third party at the request of M&T with respect to the railcars in FreightCar Leasing Borrower’s Borrowing Base (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) under the M&T Credit Agreement, the unpaid principal balance under the M&T Credit Agreement exceeded the availability under the M&T Credit Agreement as of the date of the Appraisal by $5.1 million (the “Payment Demand Amount”). In the First Notice, M&T Bank: (a) asserted that an Event of Default under the M&T Credit Agreement has occurred because FreightCar Leasing Borrower did not pay the Payment Demand Amount to M&T within five days of the asserted change in availability; (b) demanded payment of the amount within five days of the date of the First Notice; and (c) terminated the commitment to advance additional loans under the M&T Credit Agreement.

24

On December 18, 2020, FreightCar Leasing Borrower received a revised notice (the “Second Notice,” and together with the First Notice, the “Notices”) from M&T asserting that: (a) as a result of the continuing Event of Default that M&T alleged to have occurred under the M&T Credit Agreement, M&T has declared a default and accelerated and demands immediate payment by FreightCar Leasing Borrower of $10.1 million (the “Outstanding Amount”); (b) FreightCar Leasing Borrower is liable for all interest that continues to accrue on the Outstanding Amount; and (c) FreightCar Leasing Borrower is liable for all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses as set forth in the M&T Credit Agreement.

On April 20, 2021, FreightCar Leasing Borrower received a notice from M&T that an Event of Default had occurred due to all amounts outstanding under the M&T Credit Agreement having not be paid by the Term End.

Additional Liquidity Factors

Our restricted cash, restricted cash equivalents and restricted certificates of deposit balances were $8.9 million and $10.6 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Restricted deposits of $2.0 million and $3.2 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively relate to a customer deposit for purchase of railcars. Restricted deposits of $6.7 million and $7.4 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 respectively are used to collateralize standby letters of credit with respect to performance guarantees. The standby letters of credit outstanding as of March 31, 2021 are scheduled to expire at various dates through December 10, 2021.

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, our Term Loan Credit Agreement and the PPP Loan and any other indebtedness and the availability of additional financing if needed. We may also require additional capital in the future to fund working capital as demand for railcars increases, payments for contractual obligations, organic growth opportunities, including new plant and equipment and development of railcars, joint ventures, international expansion and acquisitions, and these capital requirements could be substantial.

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 common stock and through long-term borrowings such as the $40.0 million term loan under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. 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.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

		2021		2020
		(In thousands)
Net cash (used in) provided by:
Operating activities	$	(22,276)	$	(6,027)
Investing activities		(169)		263
Financing activities		(46)		(9)
Total	$	(22,491)	$	(5,773)

Operating Activities. Our net cash provided by or 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 bi-weekly 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 lead to significant fluctuations in our operating profits and cash from operating activities. We do not usually experience business credit issues, although a payment may be delayed pending completion of closing documentation.

Our net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $22.3 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Our net cash used in operating activities for the three

25

months ended March 31, 2021 reflects changes in working capital, including increases in VAT receivable of $8.8 million and decreases in customer deposits and deferred revenue of $6.9 million. Our net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 reflects our net loss and changes in working capital.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $0.2 million and included capital expenditures of $0.5 million, related to the construction in progress for our Mexico operations and the $0.4 million proceeds from sale of equipment from our Shoals facility. Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $0.3 million and represented the $3.8 million maturity of restricted certificates of deposit and $0.2 million proceeds from sale of property plant and equipment, which were partially offset by capital expenditures of $3.7 million.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities for each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was immaterial.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures were $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $3.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020. We anticipate capital expenditures during 2021 to be in the range of $2 million to $3 million, primarily related to the construction of our Mexico facility.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Description of the Business [Abstract]

Description of the Business

Note 1 – Description of the Business

FreightCar America, Inc. (“FreightCar”) operates primarily in North America through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, and manufactures a wide range of railroad freight cars, supplies railcar parts and leases freight cars. The Company designs and builds high-quality railcars, including coal cars, bulk commodity cars, covered hopper cars, intermodal and non-intermodal flat cars, mill gondola cars, coil steel cars and boxcars, and also specializes in the conversion of railcars for re-purposed use. The Company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and has facilities in the following locations: Johnstown, Pennsylvania; Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, and Castaños, Coahuila, Mexico (“Castaños”).

During 2019, the Company entered into a joint venture arrangement with Fabricaciones y Servicios de México, S.A. de C.V. (“Fasemex”), a Mexican company with operations in both Mexico and the United States to manufacture railcars in Castaños, in exchange for a 50% interest in the operation. Production of railcars at the Castaños facility began during the third quarter of 2020. On October 16, 2020, the Company acquired Fasemex’s 50% ownership in the joint venture. As of March 2021, the Company has moved all of its production to the Castaños facility.

The Company ceased operations at its Roanoke Virginia manufacturing facility (the “Roanoke Facility”) and vacated the facility as of March 31, 2020.  On September 10, 2020, the Company announced its plan to permanently close its manufacturing facility in Cherokee, Alabama (the “Shoals Facility”) in light of the ongoing cyclical industry downturn, which has been magnified by the global pandemic. The closure will reduce costs and align the Company’s manufacturing capacity with the current rail car market. The Company ceased production at the Shoals Facility in February 2021. See Note 14–Restructuring and Impairment Charges.

We are closely monitoring the spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and are continually assessing its potential effects on our business and our financial performance as well as the businesses of our customers and vendors. The Company cannot predict the duration or severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we cannot reasonably estimate the financial impact the COVID-19 outbreak will have on our results and significant estimates going forward.

Basis of Presentation

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FreightCar America, Inc. 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 months ended March 31, 2021 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 2020 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Accounts receivable payments for railcar sales are typically due within 5 to 10 business days of invoicing, while payments from parts sales are typically due within 30 to 45 business days of invoicing. The Company has not experienced significant historical credit losses.

Contract assets represent the Company’s rights to consideration for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which the terms of the contract do not permit billing at the reporting date.

The fair value of the Company’s warrant liability recorded in the Company’s financial statements, determined using the quoted price of the Company’s common stock in an active market, exercise price ($0.01/share) and number of shares exercisable at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, is a Level 2 measurement.

On September 10, 2020, the Company announced its plan to permanently close its Shoals Facility. In connection with the announcement, the Company estimated the fair value of the related asset group because it determined that an impairment trigger had occurred due to the shortened asset recoverability timeframe. Non-cash impairment charges of $8,978 for property, plant and equipment at the Shoals Facility and $17,540 for the right of use asset were recognized during September 2020. Assets held for sale represents property, plant and equipment to be sold or transferred to the Shoals landlord as consideration for the landlord’s entry into the lease amendment.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the oil and gas proppants (or “frac sand”) industry continued to experience economic pressure created by low oil prices, reduced fracking activity, and the ongoing economic impact of COVID-19. In particular, small cube covered hopper railcars are primarily used in North America to serve the frac sand industry. The Company believes that the events and circumstances that arose during the fourth quarter of 2020 constituted an impairment triggering event related to the small cube covered hopper car type in its leased railcar portfolio. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $16,952 related to its small cube covered hopper railcars. Additionally, the Company evaluated the ROU asset associated with its leased railcar portfolio of small cube covered hopper railcars and determined that these assets were impaired based on consideration of an expected decline in future cash flows over the remaining lease term, which resulted in an additional pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of approximately $1,999 during the fourth quarter of 2020.

Debt Financing and Revolving Credit Facilities

Note 8 – Debt Financing and Revolving Credit Facilities

Siena Loan and Security Agreement

On October 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Siena Loan Agreement”) by and among the Company, as guarantor, and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers (together with the Company, the “Loan Parties”), and Siena Lending Group LLC, as lender (“Siena”). Pursuant to the Siena Loan Agreement, Siena provided an asset backed credit facility, in the maximum aggregate principal amount of up to $20,000, consisting of revolving loans.

The Siena Loan Agreement replaced the Company’s prior revolving credit facility under the Credit and Security Agreement (the “BMO Credit Agreement”) dated as of April 12, 2019, among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers and

guarantors, and BMO Harris Bank N.A., as lender, as amended from time to time, which was terminated effective October 8, 2020 and otherwise would have matured on April 12, 2024.

The Siena Loan Agreement has a term ending on October 8, 2023. Revolving loans outstanding thereunder bear interest, subject to the provisions of the Siena Loan Agreement, at the Base Rate (as defined in the Siena Loan Agreement) plus 3.00% per annum. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate on outstanding debt under the Siena Loan Agreement was 6.26%.

The Siena Loan Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility with maximum availability of $20,000, subject to borrowing base requirements set forth in the Siena Loan Agreement, which generally limit availability under the revolving credit facility to (a) 85% of the value of eligible accounts and (b) up to the lesser of (i) 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible inventory and (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory, and as reduced by reserves established by Siena from time to time in accordance with the Siena Loan Agreement.

The Siena Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, limitations on future indebtedness, liens and investments. The Siena Loan Agreement also provides for customary events of default. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Siena Loan Agreement, each of the Loan Parties granted Siena a continuing lien upon certain assets of the Loan Parties to secure the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Siena Loan Agreement.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $7,039 in outstanding debt under the Siena Loan Agreement and remaining borrowing availability of $1,399. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $6,874 in outstanding debt under the Siena Loan Agreement and remaining borrowing availability of $9,701. The Company incurred $1,101 in deferred financing costs related to the Siena Loan Agreement. The deferred financing costs are presented as an asset and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the Siena Loan Agreement.

Term Loan Credit Agreement

On October 13, 2020, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, as guarantor, FreightCar North America (“Borrower” and together with the Company and certain other subsidiary guarantors, collectively, the “Loan Parties”), CO Finance LVS VI LLC, as lender (the “Lender”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as disbursing agent and collateral agent (“Agent”). Pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Lender committed to the extension of a term loan credit facility in the principal amount of $40,000, consisting of a single term loan to be funded upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement, including stockholder approval of the issuance of the common stock underlying the Warrant described below (the funding date of such term loan, the “Closing Date”). FreightCar America, Inc. stockholders approved the issuance of the common stock underlying the Warrant at a special stockholders’ meeting on November 24, 2020. The $40,000 term loan closed and was funded on November 24, 2020. The Company incurred $2,872 in deferred financing costs related to the Term Loan Agreement. The deferred financing costs are presented as a reduction of the long-term debt balance and amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the term of the Term Loan Agreement.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement has a term ending five years following the Closing Date. The term loan outstanding under the Term Loan Credit Agreement bears interest, at Borrower’s option and subject to the provisions of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, at Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) or Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) for each such interest rate set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate on outstanding debt under the Term Loan Credit Agreement was 14.0%.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement has both affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, minimum liquidity, limitations on indebtedness, liens and investments. The Term Loan Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default. Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the related loan documents, each of the Loan Parties granted to Agent a continuing lien upon all of such Loan Parties’ assets to secure the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

Warrant

In connection with the entry into the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Company issued to an affiliate of the Lender (the “Warrantholder”) a warrant (the “Warrant”), pursuant to that certain warrant acquisition agreement, dated as of October 13, 2020 (the “Warrant Acquisition Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Lender to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, equal to 23% of the outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis at the time the Warrant is exercised (after giving effect to such issuance). The Warrant is exercisable for a term of ten years from the date of the issuance of the Warrant. The Warrant was issued on November 24, 2020 after the Company received stockholder approval of the issuance of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant by the Warrantholder. In connection with the issuance of the Warrant, the Company and the Lender entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) as of the

Closing Date of November 24, 2020. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Warrant was exercisable for an aggregate of 5,289,542 and 5,307,539 shares, respectively of common stock of the Company with a per share exercise price of $0.01. The Company determined that the Warrant should be accounted for as a derivative instrument and classified as a liability on its Consolidated Balance Sheets primarily due to the instrument obligating the Company to settle the Warrant in a variable number of shares of common stock. The Warrant was recorded at fair value and is treated as a discount on the term loan. The discount on the associated debt is amortized over the life of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and included in interest expense.

The following schedule shows the change in fair value of the Warrant as of March 31, 2021.

Warrant liability as of December 31, 2020	$	12,730
Change in fair value		22,128
Warrant liability as of March 31, 2021	$	34,858

The change in fair value of the Warrant is reported on a separate line in the consolidated statement of operations. The Term Loan Credit Agreement is presented net of the unamortized discount and unamortized deferred financing costs.

SBA Paycheck Protection Program Loan

In March 2020, Congress passed the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), authorizing loans to small businesses for use in paying employees that they continue to employ throughout the global pandemic and for rent, utilities and interest on mortgages. In June 2020, Congress enacted the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (“PPPFA”), amending the PPP.

Loans obtained through the PPP, as amended, are eligible to be forgiven as long as the proceeds are used for qualifying purposes and certain other conditions are met. On April 16, 2020, the Company received a loan in the amount of $10,000 (the “PPP Loan”). Since the entire PPP Loan was used for payroll, utilities and interest, management anticipates that the majority of the PPP Loan will be forgiven. To the extent it is not forgiven, the Company would be required to repay that portion at an interest rate of 1% over a period of two years, with $7,500 due in 2021 and with $2,500 due in 2022. The Company filed an application for PPP Loan forgiveness on October 28, 2020 along with a request for extension of the term of the PPP Loan to five years.

M&T Credit Agreement

On April 16, 2019, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Freightcar Leasing Borrower”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “M&T Credit Agreement”) with M & T Bank, N.A., as lender (“M&T”). Pursuant to the M&T Credit Agreement, M&T extended a revolving credit facility to Freightcar Leasing Borrower in an aggregate amount of up to $40,000 for the purpose of financing railcars which will be leased to third parties.

On April 16, 2019, Freightcar Leasing Borrower also entered into a Security Agreement (the “M&T Security Agreement”) pursuant to which it granted a security interest in all of its assets to M&T to secure its obligations under the M&T Credit Agreement.

On April 16, 2019, FreightCar America Leasing, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and parent of Freightcar Leasing Borrower (“Freightcar Leasing Guarantor”), entered into (i) a Guaranty Agreement (the “M&T Guaranty Agreement”) pursuant to which Freightcar Leasing Guarantor guarantees the repayment and performance of certain obligations of Freightcar Leasing Borrower and (ii) a Pledge Agreement (the “M&T Pledge Agreement”) pursuant to which Freightcar Leasing Guarantor pledged all of the equity of Freightcar Leasing Borrower held by Freightcar Leasing Guarantor.

The loans under the M&T Credit Agreement are non-recourse to the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries other than the assets of Freightcar Leasing Borrower and Freightcar Leasing Guarantor.

The M&T Credit Agreement had a term ending on April 16, 2021 (the “Term End”). Loans outstanding thereunder will bear interest, accrued daily, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) or the Adjusted Base Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement).

The M&T Credit Agreement has both affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, maintaining an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.25:1.00, measured quarterly, and limitations on indebtedness, loans, liens and investments. The M&T Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, FreightCar Leasing Borrower had $9,940 and $10,105, respectively, in outstanding debt under the M&T Credit Agreement, which was collateralized by leased railcars with a carrying value of $6,936 and $6,975, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate on outstanding debt under the M&T Credit Agreement was 4.18%.

On August 7, 2020, FreightCar Leasing Borrower received notice (the “First Notice”) from M&T that, based on an appraisal (the “Appraisal”) conducted by a third party at the request of M&T with respect to the railcars in FreightCar Leasing Borrower’s Borrowing Base (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) under the M&T Credit Agreement, the unpaid principal balance under the M&T Credit Agreement exceeded the availability under the M&T Credit Agreement as of the date of the Appraisal by $5,081 (the “Payment Demand Amount”). In the First Notice, M&T Bank: (a) asserted that an Event of Default under the M&T Credit Agreement has occurred because FreightCar Leasing Borrower did not pay the Payment Demand Amount to M&T within five days of the asserted change in availability; (b) demanded payment of the amount within five days of the date of the First Notice; and (c) terminated the commitment to advance additional loans under the M&T Credit Agreement.

On December 18, 2020, FreightCar Leasing Borrower received a revised notice (the “Second Notice,” and together with the First Notice, the “Notices”) from M&T asserting that: (a) as a result of the continuing Event of Default that M&T alleged to have occurred under the M&T Credit Agreement, M&T has declared a default and accelerated and demands immediate payment by FreightCar Leasing Borrower of $10,114 (the “Outstanding Amount”); (b) FreightCar Leasing Borrower is liable for all interest that continues to accrue on the Outstanding Amount; and (c) FreightCar Leasing Borrower is liable for all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses as set forth in the M&T Credit Agreement.

On April 20, 2021, FreightCar Leasing Borrower received a notice from M&T that an Event of Default had occurred due to all amounts outstanding under the M&T Credit Agreement having not be paid by the Term End.

Long-term debt consists of the following as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2021		2020
M&T Credit Agreement outstanding	$	9,940	$	10,105

Stock-Based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation

Total stock-based compensation was $2,662 and $227 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, there was $1,218 of unearned compensation expense related to restricted stock awards, which will be recognized over the remaining weighed average requisite service period of 26 months. As of March 31, 2021, there was $1,277 of unearned compensation related to time-vested stock options, which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period of 33 months.

2020 Grants of Stock Appreciation Rights

During 2020, the Company granted 1,139,464 cash settled stock appreciation rights to certain employees. Each stock appreciation right represents the right to receive a payment measured by the increase in the fair market value of one share of the Company’s stock from the date of grant of the stock appreciation right to the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right. The cash settled stock appreciation rights vest ratably over three years and have a contractual life of 10 years. Cash settled stock appreciation rights are classified as liabilities. The Company measures the fair value of unvested cash settled stock appreciation rights using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and remeasures the fair value of the award each reporting period until the award is vested. Once vested the Company immediately recognizes compensation cost for any changes in fair value of cash settled stock appreciation rights until settlement. Fair value of vested cash settled stock appreciation rights represents the fair market value of one share of the Company’s stock on the measurement date less the exercise price per share. Compensation cost for cash settled stock appreciation rights is trued up each reporting period for changes in fair value pro-rated for the portion of the requisite service period rendered.

2021 Grants of Stock Appreciation Rights

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company granted 1,735,500 cash settled stock appreciation rights to certain employees. Each of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights allows the holder to receive, upon exercise, and subject to the vesting restrictions, a distribution in cash equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price. The 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights vest ratably over three years and have a contractual life of 10 years. Vesting of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights is contingent upon the achievement of a thirty-day trailing average fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock of 133.3% ($3.17) or more of the exercise price per share ($2.38). When vesting of an award of stock-based compensation is dependent upon the attainment of a target stock price, the award is considered to be subject to a market condition.

The 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights are classified as liabilities. Because vesting of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights included a market condition, the grant date fair market value of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights of $1.74 was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the market condition for the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights was met. Thereafter the Company measures the fair value of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and remeasures the fair value of the award each reporting period until the award is vested. Once vested, the Company immediately recognizes compensation cost for any changes in fair value of the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights until settlement. Fair value of vested 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights represents the fair market value of one share of the Company’s stock on the measurement date less the exercise price per share. Compensation cost for the 2021 cash settled stock appreciation rights is trued up each reporting period for changes in fair value pro-rated for the portion of the requisite service period rendered.

The estimated fair value of the cash settled stock appreciation rights as of March 31, 2021 was $12,656. Stock-based compensation for cash settled stock appreciation rights was $2,553 and $20 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The fair value of unvested cash settled stock appreciation rights as of March 31, 2021 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions:

				Expected	Risk Free
			Expected	Dividend	Interest	Fair Value
Grant Year	Grant Date	Expected Life	Volatility	Yield	Rate	Per Award
2020	1/24/2020	5.1 years	71.67%	0.00%	0.93%	$5.45

Contingencies and Legal Settlements

Note 12 – Contingencies and Legal Settlements

The Company is involved in various warranty and repair claims and, in certain cases, related pending and threatened legal proceedings with its customers in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company’s potential losses in excess of the accrued warranty and legal provisions, if any, are not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company received cash payments of $15,733 and $1,410 during 2015 and 2017, respectively, for Alabama state and local incentives related to its capital investment and employment levels at the Shoals Facility. Under the incentive agreements a certain portion of the incentives may be repayable by the Company if targeted levels of employment are not maintained for a period of up to six years from the date of the incentive. In April 2021, the Company received a letter from representatives of the Shoals Economic Development Authority (“SEDA”) regarding repayment of local incentives. The Company views this notice as premature, as the Company believes that any repayment obligations have not yet arisen under the terms of the incentive agreements. In the event that any portion of the incentives is required to be paid back, the Company believes the amount is unlikely to exceed the deferred liability balance of $4,167 as of March 31, 2021.

As part of a settlement agreement reached with one of its customers during 2019, the Company agreed to pay $7,500 to settle all claims related to a prior year’s commercial dispute. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company paid $1,000 and $3,500, respectively, of the settlement amount and the remaining $3,000 will be paid over a period of 15 months or on an accelerated basis in the event both parties agree to accelerate delivery of railcars currently in the backlog.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company is involved in certain other pending and threatened legal proceedings, including commercial disputes and workers’ compensation and employee matters arising out of the conduct of its business. The Company has reserved $0.5 million to cover probable and estimable liabilities with respect to these matters.

Loss Per Share

Note 13 – Loss Per Share

The weighted-average common shares outstanding are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021	2020
Weighted average common shares outstanding	14,702,964	12,366,880
Issuance of warrants	5,298,541	-
Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic	20,001,505	12,366,880
Dilutive effect of employee stock options and nonvested share awards	-	-
Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding	20,001,505	12,366,880

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. 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 March 31, 2021 and 2020, 1,383,191 and 1,039,850 shares, respectively, were not included in the weighted average common shares outstanding calculation as they were anti-dilutive.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

Note 14 – Restructuring and Impairment Charges

On September 10, 2020, the Company announced its plan to permanently close its Shoals Facility in light of the ongoing cyclical industry downturn, which has been magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic. On October 8, 2020, the Company reached an agreement with the Shoals facility owner and landlord, to shorten the Shoals lease term by amending the expiration date to the end of February 2021. In addition, the landlord agreed to waive the base rent payable under the original lease for the months of October 2020 through February 2021. Property, plant and equipment with an estimated fair value of $10,148 was sold or transferred to the Shoals landlord during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as consideration for the landlord’s entry into the lease amendment and the aforementioned rent waiver. Restructuring and impairment charges related to the plant closure for the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily represented costs related to relocating some of the facility’s equipment to Castaños.

On July 22, 2019, the Company announced its intention to close its Roanoke, Virginia manufacturing facility as part of its “Back to Basics” strategy. The Company ceased operations at the facility as of November 29, 2019 and terminated its leases for the facility effective as of March 31, 2020. Restructuring and impairment charges related to the plant closure for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily represented impairment charges for property, plant and equipment and costs related to relocating some of the facility’s equipment to other manufacturing locations.

Restructuring and impairment charges are reported as a separate line item on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and are detailed below:

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FreightCar America, Inc. 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 months ended March 31, 2021 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 2020 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
