Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

Share-based compensation · 8,162 characters as filed

Stock-based Compensation The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock-based Compensation, to account for the Companys stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award and is recognized over the employees requisite service period. Stock forfeitures and cancellations are recognized as they occur.

The Company determined the implied fair value of its reporting units by using assumptions we believe would be a reasonable market participant's view in a hypothetical purchase to develop the discounted cash flows of the respective reporting units. These assumptions include future cash flows, discount rates, and market participant assumptions. The results of the test indicated that all reporting units that maintain goodwill adequately exceeded their carrying value and were not subject to impairment. As a result of the procedures performed as outlined above, no impairments were recorded in 2025. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the components of the Companys intangible assets were as follows: December 31, 2025 Weighted Average Amortization Period In Years Gross Carrying Value Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Patents 10 $ 324 $ (211) $

Leases · 4,424 characters as filed

Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets, Other accrued liabilities, and Long-term operating lease liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in Property, plant, and equipment - net, Current maturities of long-term debt, and Long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets represent the Companys right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Companys obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Companys leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease right-of-use asset also includes indirect costs incurred and lease payments made prior to the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. The Companys lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease and will be recognized when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease

Revenue recognition · 8,138 characters as filed

Revenue The Companys revenues are comprised of product and service sales, including products and services provided under long-term agreements with its customers. All revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligations under the contract, either implicit or explicit, by transferring the promised product or rendering a service to its customer either when its customer obtains control of the product or as the service is rendered. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or render a specific service to a customer. A contracts transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation. The majority of the Companys contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer products or render services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services. Revenue is recorded net of returns, allowances, and customer discounts. Sales, value added, and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net (excluded from revenues) basis. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. The Companys performance obligations under long-term agreements with its customers are generally satisfied over time. Over time revenue is primarily comprised of tra

Segment reporting · 12,941 characters as filed

Business Segments The Company determines its operating segments based on how the Companys CODM, the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer, manages the businesses, including resource allocation and operating decisions. The Company is organized into two operating segments, which represent the individual businesses that are run separately within this operational structure. Operating segments are evaluated on their segment operating income contribution to the Companys consolidated results. The Company considers the aggregation of operating segments into reporting segments based on the nature of offerings, nature of production services, the type or class of customer for products and services, methods used to distribute products and services, and economic and regulatory environment conditions. The Company has two reportable segments: Rail and Infrastructure. The Companys segments represent components of the Company (a) that engage in activities from which revenue is generated and expenses are incurred, (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the CODM, who uses such information to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments, and (c) for which discrete financial information is available. The CODM uses segment operating income to determine resources to allocate to each segment (including personnel and financial resources) during the annual budgeting process.

Fair value · 3,541 characters as filed

Fair Value Measurements The Company determines the fair value of assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair values are based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in valuation techniques and the inputs to valuations. The fair value hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Companys own assumptions of what market participants would use. The fair value hierarchy includes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as described below. Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Qualitative factors are assessed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, which includes the impacts of current economic conditions, including but not limited to concerns related to inflation, tariffs, labor markets, supply chains, and changes in trade policy. However, these factors can be unpredictable and are subject to change. No interim goodwill impairment test was required as a result of the evaluation of qualitative factors as of September 30, 2025.

Income Taxes For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $2,812 and an income tax benefit of $29,745, respectively, on pre-tax income of $7,137 and $6,153, respectively, for an effective income tax rate of 39.4% and (483.4%), respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $5,625 and an income tax benefit of $29,110, respectively, on pre-tax income of $10,672 and $14,010, respectively, for an effective income tax rate of 52.7% and (207.8)%, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of pre-tax losses in the United Kingdom, for which no income tax benefit was recognized due to a valuation allowance. The Company's effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a $30,045 income tax benefit resulting from the change in valuation allowance previously recorded against certain U.S. federal and state deferred taxes. Changes in pre-tax income projections, combined with the seasonal nature of our businesses, also impact the effective income tax rate each quarter.
