WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 (UNAUDITED)

1. BUSINESS

Wabtec is one of the world’s largest providers of value-added, technology-based products and services for the global rail industry. Our products are found on virtually all U.S. locomotives, freight cars and passenger transit vehicles, as well as in more than 100 countries throughout the world. Our products enhance safety, improve productivity and reduce maintenance costs for customers, and many of our core products and services are essential in the safe and efficient operation of freight rail and passenger transit vehicles. Wabtec is a global company with operations in 19 countries. In the first six months of 2012, about 51% of the Company’s revenues came from customers outside the U.S.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

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

The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in Wabtec’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The December 31, 2011 information has been derived from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

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

In general, the Company recognizes revenues on long-term contracts based on the percentage of completion method of accounting. The units-of-delivery method or other input-based or output-based measures, as appropriate, are used to measure the progress toward completion of individual contracts. Contract revenues and cost estimates are reviewed and revised at a minimum quarterly and adjustments are reflected in the accounting period as such amounts are determined. Provisions are made currently for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts. Unbilled accounts receivables were $95.3 million and $58.9, customer deposits were $84.1 million and $72.8, and provisions for loss contracts were $11.4 million and $9.3 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Certain pre-production costs relating to long-term production and supply contracts have been deferred and will be recognized over the life of the contracts. Deferred pre-production costs were $16.4 million and $15.4 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and

Table of Contents

expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based compensation based on the grant date fair value amortized ratably over the requisite service period following the date of grant.

Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities The Company has periodically entered into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of changes in currency exchange rates. Forward contracts are agreements with a counter-party to exchange two distinct currencies at a set exchange rate for delivery on a set date at some point in the future. There is no exchange of funds until the delivery date. At the delivery date the Company can either take delivery of the currency or settle on a net basis. At June 30, 2012, the Company had no forward contracts.

To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on a portion of its variable-rate debt, the Company entered into interest rate swaps which effectively converted a portion of the debt from variable to fixed-rate borrowings during the term of the swap contracts. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties. However, since only the cash interest payments are exchanged, exposure is significantly less than the notional amount. The counterparties are large financial institutions with excellent credit ratings and history of performance. The Company currently believes the risk of nonperformance is negligible. The Company concluded that these interest rate swap agreements qualify for cash flow hedge accounting which permits the recording of the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements and corresponding adjustment to other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, on the balance sheet.

Effective June 30, 2012, the Company had interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $107.0 million and which effectively changed the Company’s interest rate on bank debt at June 30, 2012 from a variable rate to a fixed rate of 1.81%. The interest rate swap agreements mature on December 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has recorded a current liability of $0.8 million and a corresponding offset in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $0.5 million, net of tax, related to these agreements.

Also, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with a notional value of $150.0 million. Effective July 31, 2013, with a termination date of November 7, 2016, the interest rate swap agreement will convert a portion of the Company’s then outstanding debt from a variable rate to a fixed-rate borrowing. During the term of the interest rate swap agreement the interest rate on the notional value will be fixed at 1.415% plus the applicable borrowing margin. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has recorded a current liability of $2.8 million and a corresponding offset in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.7 million, net of tax, related to this agreement.

Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, except for the Company’s Mexican operations whose functional currency is the U.S. Dollar, are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date while income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions, and the translation of financial statements are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements based upon the provisions of ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters.” The effects of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions and balances of a long-term investment nature are accumulated and carried as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The effects of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are charged or credited to earnings. Foreign exchange transaction gains recognized in other income (expense), net were $631,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Foreign exchange transaction losses recognized in other income (expense), net were $589,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Foreign exchange transaction gains recognized in other income (expense), net were $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Foreign exchange transaction losses recognized in other income (expense), net were $266,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement

On November 7, 2011, the Company refinanced its existing revolving credit and term loan facility with a consortium of commercial banks. This “2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement” provides the Company with a $600 million, five-year revolving credit facility. The Company incurred approximately $2.0 million of deferred financing cost related to the 2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement. The facility expires on November 7, 2016. The 2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement borrowings bear variable interest rates indexed to the indices described below. At June 30, 2012, the Company had available bank borrowing capacity of approximately $259.0 million, net of $49.0 million of letters of credit, subject to certain financial covenant restrictions.

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

At June 30, 2012 the weighted average interest rate on the Company’s variable rate debt was 1.25%. To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on a portion of this variable-rate debt, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements which effectively convert a portion of the debt from a variable to a fixed-rate borrowing during the term of the swap contracts. On June 30, 2012, the notional value of the interest rate swaps outstanding was $107.0 million and effectively changed the Company’s interest rate on bank debt at June 30, 2012 from a variable rate to a fixed rate of 1.81%. The interest rate swap agreements mature on December 31, 2012. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties. However, since only the cash interest payments are exchanged, exposure is significantly less than the notional amount. The counterparties are large financial institutions with excellent credit ratings and history of performance. The Company currently believes the risk of nonperformance is negligible.

Also, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with a notional value of $150.0 million. Effective July 31, 2013, with a termination date of November 7, 2016, the interest rate swap agreement will convert a portion of the Company’s then outstanding debt from a variable rate to a fixed-rate borrowing. During the term of the interest rate swap agreement the interest rate on the notional value will be fixed at 1.415% plus the applicable borrowing margin.

The 2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement limits the Company’s ability to declare or pay cash dividends and prohibits the Company from declaring or making other distributions, subject to certain exceptions. The 2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement contains various other covenants and restrictions including the following limitations: incurrence of additional indebtedness; mergers, consolidations, sales of assets and acquisitions; additional liens; sale and leasebacks; permissible investments, loans and advances; certain debt payments; and imposes a minimum interest expense coverage ratio of 3.0 and a maximum debt to cash flow ratio of 3.25. The Company does not expect that these measurements will limit the Company in executing our operating activities.

6.875% Senior Notes Due August 2013

In August 2003, the Company issued $150.0 million of Senior Notes due in 2013 (“the Notes”). The Notes were issued at par. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 6.875% per annum and is payable semi-annually on January 31 and July 31 of each year. The proceeds were used to repay debt outstanding under the Company’s existing credit agreement, and for general corporate purposes. The principal balance is due in full at maturity.

The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu with all existing and future senior debt and senior to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The indenture under

which the Notes were issued contains covenants and restrictions which limit among other things, the following: the incurrence of indebtedness, payment of dividends and certain distributions, sale of assets, change in control, mergers and consolidations and the incurrence of liens.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

As of June 30, 2012, the Company maintains employee stock-based compensation plans for stock options, restricted stock, restricted units, and incentive stock awards as governed by the 2011 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2000 Plan”). The 2011 Plan was approved by stockholders of Wabtec on May 11, 2011. The Company also maintains a Non-Employee Directors’ Fee and Stock Option Plan (“Directors Plan”). No awards may be made under the 2000 Plan or the Directors Plan subsequent to October 31, 2016. The 2011 Plan has a 10- year term through March 27, 2021 and provides a maximum of 1,900,000 shares for grants or awards.

Stock-based compensation expense was $10.1 million and $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Included in the stock-based compensation expense for 2012 above is $1.3 million of expense related to stock options, $2.4 million related to restricted stock, $377,000 related to restricted units, $5.6 million related to incentive stock awards and $400,000 related to awards issued for Directors’ fees. At June 30, 2012, unamortized compensation expense related to stock options, restricted stock, restricted units and incentive stock awards expected to vest totaled $28.2 million and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.

Table of Contents

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

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity and related information for the 2011 Plan, the 2000 Plan and the Directors Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2012:

     562,786      $ 31.69         6.1       $ 26,070   

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

 

     Six months ended
June 30,
 
         2012             2011      

Dividend yield

     .23     .07

Risk-free interest rate

Stock price volatility

     44.95     45.58

Expected life (years)

     5.0        5.0   

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

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

In addition, the Company has annually issued incentive stock awards to eligible employees that vest, upon attainment of certain three year performance goals. Based on the Company’s performance for each three year period then ended, the incentive stock awards can vest and be awarded ranging from 0% to 200% of the initial incentive stock awards granted. The incentive stock awards included in the table below represent the number of shares that are expected to vest based on the Company’s estimate for meeting those established performance targets. As of June 30, 2012, the Company estimates that it will achieve 200%, 200% and 100% for the incentive stock awards expected to vest based on performance for the three year periods ending December 31, 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively, and has recorded incentive compensation expense accordingly. If our estimate of the number of these stock awards expected to vest changes in a future accounting period, cumulative compensation expense could increase or decrease and will be recognized in the current period for the elapsed portion of the vesting period and would change future expense for the remaining vesting period.

9. INCOME TAXES

The overall effective income tax rate was 33.7% and 34.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and 30.3% and 33.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is due to a $1.7 million benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2011 relating to settlements with taxing authorities and the expiration of statutory review periods in various jurisdictions.

As of June 30, 2012, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions is $7.5 million, of which $1.6 million, if recognized would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2011 the liability associated with uncertain tax positions was $8.2 million, of which $2.1 million, if recognized, would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company includes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2012 the total accrued interest and penalties are $2.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 the total accrued interest and penalties were $2.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

The Internal Revenue Service is currently auditing the 2009 and 2010 tax years. With limited exception, the Company is no longer subject to examination by various U.S. and foreign taxing authorities for years before 2009.

At this time, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0.1 million may change within the next 12 months due to the expiration of statutory review periods and current examinations.

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

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

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

 

18


Table of Contents

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

The following table provides the liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012, which are included in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance sheet:

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

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Claims have been filed against the Company and certain of its affiliates in various jurisdictions across the United States by persons alleging bodily injury as a result of exposure to asbestos-containing products.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

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

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

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

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

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein and Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation’s Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 24, 2012.

OVERVIEW

Wabtec is one of the world’s largest providers of value-added, technology-based products and services for the global rail industry. Our products are found on virtually all U.S. locomotives, freight cars and passenger transit vehicles, as well as in more than 100 countries throughout the world. Our products enhance safety, improve productivity and reduce maintenance costs for customers, and many of our core products and services are essential in the safe and efficient operation of freight rail and passenger transit vehicles. Wabtec is a global company with operations in 19 countries. In the first six months of 2012, about 51% of the Company’s revenues came from customers outside the U.S.

Management Review and Future Outlook

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

The Company monitors a variety of factors and statistics to gauge market activity. The North America freight rail industry is largely driven by general economic conditions, which can cause fluctuations in rail traffic. Based on those fluctuations, railroads can increase or decrease purchases of new locomotives and freight cars. In 2011 U.S. freight rail traffic increased due to the improving overall economy, which had a favorable effect on the Company’s Freight Segment, with increased demand for new locomotives and freight cars, and for aftermarket products and services. Whether demand continues to improve will depend largely on the overall economy and in rail traffic volumes. Through June 30, 2012 compared to the previous year, according to the Association of American Railroads, carloadings decreased 2.8% and revenue ton-miles decreased 2.0%, while intermodal loadings increased 3.4%. Excluding coal, carloadings increased 3.3%.

The North American transit rail industry is driven by government spending and ridership. According to the American Public Transportation Association, ridership increased 2.3% in 2011 and 5% in the first quarter of 2012. In June 2012, the U.S. federal government passed a two-year transportation funding bill, called MAP-21. As part of this bill, funding for transit programs is expected to be about $10.5 billion in each of the next two fiscal years, about the same as it was in the previous three years. Most government entities at all levels continue to face budget issues, which could have a negative effect on demand for the Company’s products and services.

In 2008, the U.S. government enacted rail safety legislation that requires certain freight and passenger railroads to equip certain locomotives with positive train control (“PTC”) technology by the end of 2015. This technology includes an on-board locomotive computer and related software, which are being developed by Wabtec. As the industry leader, Wabtec expects to benefit from increased sales of train control-related products and engineering services as the technology is deployed throughout the industry. Wabtec expects PTC revenue to exceed $200 million in 2012 compared to about $125 million in 2011.

Wabtec continues to expand its presence in freight rail and passenger transit markets outside the U.S., particularly in Europe, Asia-Pacific and South America. In Europe, the majority of the rail system serves the

passenger transit market, which is larger than the transit market in the U.S. Our presence in the U.K., Germany and Italy has positioned the Company to take advantage of this market. Asia-Pacific is a growth market and our various joint ventures and direct exports to China have positioned the Company to take advantage of this growth. Economic growth in Australia and Brazil led to growth for the Company in those markets as commodity suppliers use our products to meet the demands of their regional customers.

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

Net sales increased by $130.9 million to $609.8 million from $478.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase is due to higher Specialty Products and Electronics sales of $74.7 million primarily from increased demand for freight original equipment rail products, positive train control electronics and aftermarket products; higher Remanufacturing, Overhaul and Build sales of $24.7 million from increased demand for freight original equipment locomotives and aftermarket services for locomotives; and sales from acquisitions of $25.1 million. Company net sales decreased $10.0 million due to unfavorable effects of foreign exchange, but income from operations was generally not impacted by foreign exchange. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $64.7 million or $1.33 per diluted share. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $36.4 million or $0.75 per diluted share. Net income increased due to higher sales volume and decreased operating expenses discussed below.

Freight Segment sales increased by $127.7 million, or 45.6%, due to higher sales of $72.4 million for Specialty Products and Electronics, primarily resulting from increased demand for original equipment rail products, positive train control electronics and aftermarket rail products; $21.8 million from demand for freight original equipment locomotives and aftermarket services for locomotives; $20.6 million from acquisitions and $14.9 million for Brake Products. For the Freight Segment, net sales decreased by $3.9 million due to unfavorable effects of foreign exchange.

Transit Segment sales increased by $3.2 million, or 1.6%, due to higher sales of $6.6 million primarily from certain transit car build contracts and demand for transit bus doors, $4.5 million from acquisitions, and $3.0 million from increased demand for transit car rebuild and overhauls. Partially offsetting these increases were lower sales of $7.6 million from decreased demand for transit brake products. For the Transit Segment, net sales decreased by $6.1 million due to unfavorable effects of foreign exchange.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. Cost of Sales increased by $100.2 million to $436.4 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $336.2 million in the same period of 2011. In the second quarter of 2012, cost of sales, as a percentage of sales was 71.6% compared to 70.2% in the same period of 2011.

Raw material costs increased as a percentage of sales to approximately 45% in the second quarter of 2012 from 43% in the same period of 2011. Labor costs as a percentage of sales were approximately 11% in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011. Overhead costs as a percentage of sales were approximately 16% in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011. Freight Segment raw material costs increased as a percentage of sales to approximately 46% in the second quarter of 2012 from 44% in the same period of 2011. Freight Segment labor costs as a percentage of sales were approximately 10% in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, and overhead costs decreased as a percentage of sales to approximately 14% in the second quarter of 2012 from 15% in the same period of 2011. Transit Segment raw material costs decreased as a percentage of sales to approximately 42% in the second quarter of 2012 from 43% in the same period of 2011. Transit Segment labor costs increased as a

percentage of sales to approximately 14% in the second quarter of 2012 from 11% in the same period of 2011, and overhead costs as a percentage of sales were approximately 18% in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011. Transit Segment labor costs increased as a percentage of sales due to higher service related sales, which carry higher labor costs on a cost of sales percentage basis.

In general, raw material costs increased as a percentage of sales reflecting the higher mix of revenue generated from freight original equipment sales, which has a higher raw material component as cost of sales, partially offset by lower transit raw material costs. Overhead costs vary as a percentage of sales depending on product mix and changes in sales volume.

In addition, included in cost of sales is warranty expense. The provision for warranty expense is generally established for specific losses, along with historical estimates of customer claims as a percentage of sales, which can cause variability in warranty expense between quarters. Warranty expense was $2.8 million higher in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 due to increased sales and increases for certain transit contracts.

Gross profit increased to $173.4 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $142.7 million in the same period of 2011, for the reasons discussed above. Accordingly, for the second quarter of 2012, gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 28.4% compared to 29.8%, for the second quarter of 2011.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 primarily due to an $18.1 million charge for a court ruling, partially offset by a benefit of $2.4 million for a settlement related to a prior acquisition which were both recorded in the second quarter of 2011. Engineering expense increased by $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 as the company focused engineering resources on product development. Costs related to engineering for specific customer contracts are included in cost of sales. Total operating expenses were 11.9% and 18.0% of sales for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Segment operating expenses consist of specific segment costs such as, sales and marketing, information technology, insurance, and audit and tax fees, allocated corporate costs, and other segment specific discrete charges. Corporate costs are allocated to the freight and transit segments based on segment revenues. Certain corporate departmental expenses are not allocated. Corporate non-allocated operating expenses decreased $17.6 million because of the charge for a court ruling discussed above, partially offset by increases in other non-allocated departmental expenses.

Freight segment operating expenses increased $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 because of $2.0 million of incremental expense from acquisitions and an increase in selling, general and administrative expense supporting higher sales volume. Freight segment operating expenses were 9.2% and 12.5% of sales for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Transit segment operating expenses increased $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 because of $0.9 million of incremental expense from acquisitions and a benefit of $2.4 million for a settlement related to a prior acquisition which was recorded in the second quarter of 2011,

partially offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in the expenses allocated to the operating segments and a decrease in other selling, general and administrative expenses from cost saving initiatives. Transit segment operating expenses were 14.5% and 14.3% of sales for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Income from operations Income from operations totaled $100.9 million or 16.5% of sales in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $56.4 million or 11.8% of sales in the same period of 2011. Income from operations increased due to higher sales volume and decreased operating expenses discussed above.

Interest expense, net Overall interest expense, net, was comparable to the prior period.

Other income (expense), net The Company recorded foreign exchange gains of $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2012 and foreign exchange losses of $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2011 due to the effect of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions that are non U.S. dollar denominated and charged or credited to earnings.

Income taxes The effective income tax rate was 33.7% and 30.3% for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in the effective rate is due to a $1.7 million benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2011 relating to settlements with taxing authorities and the expiration of statutory review periods in various jurisdictions.

Net income Net income for the second quarter of 2012 increased $28.4 million, compared with the same period of 2011. The increase in net income is due to higher sales volume and decreased operating expenses discussed above.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $7.6 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. The decrease is due primarily due to an $18.1 million charge for a court ruling, partially offset by a benefit of $2.4 million for a settlement related to a prior acquisition which were both recorded in the second quarter of 2011, $5.4 million of expenses from acquisitions, and $2.5 million of incentive and non-cash compensation. Engineering expense increased by $2.3 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 as the company focused engineering resources on product development. Costs related to engineering for specific customer contracts are included in cost of sales. Amortization expense decreased slightly in the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to amortization of intangibles in 2011 associated with acquisitions. Total operating expenses were 12.4% and 16.4% of sales for the first six months of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Segment operating expenses consist of specific segment costs such as, sales and marketing, information technology, insurance, and audit and tax fees, allocated corporate costs, and other segment specific discrete charges. Corporate costs are allocated to the freight and transit segments based on segment revenues. Certain corporate departmental expenses are not allocated. Corporate non-allocated operating expenses decreased $18.8 million because of the charge for a court ruling discussed above and decreases in other non-allocated departmental expenses.

Freight segment operating expenses increased $10.4 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 because of $3.9 million of expenses from acquisitions, an increase of $2.9 million in expenses allocated to the operating segments and an increase in selling, general and administrative expense supporting higher sales volume. Freight segment operating expenses were 9.9% and 12.8% of sales for the first six months of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Transit segment operating expenses increased $3.0 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 because of $1.7 million of expenses from acquisitions and a benefit of $2.4 million for a settlement related to a prior acquisition which was recorded in the second quarter of 2011, partially offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in the expenses allocated to the operating segments and a decrease in other selling, general and administrative expenses from cost saving initiatives. Transit segment operating expenses were 14.8% and 14.1% of sales for the first six months of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Income from operations Income from operations totaled $195.0 million or 16.3% of sales in the first six months of 2012 compared to $122.7 million or 13.1% of sales in the same period of 2011. Income from operations increased due to higher sales volume and decreased operating expenses discussed above.

Other income (expense), net The Company recorded foreign exchange gains of $1.0 million in the first six months of 2012 and foreign exchange losses of $0.3 million in the first six months of 2011 due to the effect of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions that are non U.S. dollar denominated and charged or credited to earnings.

Income taxes The effective income tax rate was 34.0% and 33.0% for the first six months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in the effective rate is due to a $1.7 million benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2011 relating to settlements with taxing authorities and the expiration of statutory review periods in various jurisdictions.

Net income Net income for the first six months of 2012 increased $46.7 million, compared with the same period of 2011. The increase in net income is due to higher sales volume and decreased operating expenses discussed above.

2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement

On November 7, 2011, the Company refinanced its existing revolving credit and term loan facility with a consortium of commercial banks. This “2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement” provides the company with a $600 million, five-year revolving credit facility. The Company incurred approximately $2.0 million of deferred financing cost related to the 2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement. The facility expires on November 7, 2016.

Refer to Note 6 of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the 2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement.

6.875% Senior Notes Due August 2013

In August 2003, the Company issued $150.0 million of Senior Notes due in 2013 (“the Notes”). The Notes were issued at par. Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 6.875% per annum and is payable semi-annually on January 31 and July 31 of each year. The proceeds were used to repay debt outstanding under the Company’s existing credit agreement and for general corporate purposes. The principal balance is due in full at maturity. The Company is in compliance with the restrictions and covenants in the indenture under which the Notes were issued and expects that these restrictions and covenants will not be any type of limiting factor in executing our operating activities. Refer to Note 6 of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding the Notes.

Management believes that based on current levels of operations and forecasted earnings, cash flow and liquidity will be sufficient to fund working capital and capital equipment needs as well as meeting debt service requirements. If sources of funds were to fail to satisfy the Company’s cash requirements, the Company may need to refinance our existing debt or obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that such new financing alternatives would be available, and, in any case, such new financing, if available, may be more costly and burdensome than the debt agreements currently in place.

Company Stock Repurchase Plan

On May 11, 2011, the Board of Directors increased its stock repurchase authorization to $150 million of the Company’s outstanding shares. Through June 30, 2012, repurchases are $47.9 million, leaving $102.1 million under the authorization. This share repurchase authorization supersedes the previous authorization of $150 million of which $39.4 million was remaining.

The Company intends to purchase shares on the open market or in negotiated or block trades. No time limit was set for the completion of the programs which conforms to the requirements under the 2011 Refinancing Credit Agreement, as well as the Notes currently outstanding.

During the first six months of 2012, the Company repurchased 298,800 shares of its stock at an average price of $73.38 per share. During 2011, the Company repurchased 438,600 shares of its stock at an average price of $59.33 per share. All purchases were on the open market.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2012, the Company has recognized a total liability of $7.5 million for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. At this time, the Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of cash settlement for any of the unrecognized tax benefits due to the uncertainty of the timing and outcome of its audits and other factors.

Since December 31, 2011, there have been no other significant changes in the total amount of the Company’s contractual obligations or the timing of cash flows in accordance with those obligations, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

In the ordinary course of business, Wabtec is exposed to risks that increases in interest rates may adversely affect funding costs associated with its variable-rate debt. The Company’s variable rate debt represents 42% and 35% of total long-term debt at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. On an annual basis a 1% change in the interest rate for variable rate debt at June 30, 2012 would increase or decrease interest expense by about $1.9 million. To reduce the impact of interest rate changes on a portion of this variable-rate

debt, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements which effectively converted a portion of the debt from variable to fixed-rate borrowings during the term of the swap contracts. Refer to “Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities” in Note 2 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The Company is subject to certain risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates to the extent our operations are conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For the first six months of 2012, approximately 49% of Wabtec’s net sales were to customers in the United States, 10% in the United Kingdom, 10% in Australia, 9% in Canada, 6% in Mexico, 2% in Germany and 14% in other international locations. To reduce the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, the Company has periodically entered into foreign currency forward contracts. Refer to “Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities” in Note 2 of “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information regarding foreign currency exchange risk.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Wabtec’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of Wabtec’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of June 30, 2012. Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that Wabtec’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Wabtec in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Wabtec in such reports is accumulated and communicated to Wabtec’s Management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in Wabtec’s “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Wabtec’s internal control over financial reporting.
