- Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $73.3 million, or 12.0% of revenue.

Fiscal Year 2017 Highlights
- Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier for the year were $116.1 million, or $3.65 per diluted share, and include a $3.5 million ($0.11 per share) impact associated with a goodwill impairment charge recorded by GBW.
- Adjusted net earnings attributable to Greenbrier for the year were $119.6 million, or $3.76 per diluted share, on revenue of $2.17 billion.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the year was $317.3 million, or 14.6% of revenue.
- New railcar deliveries totaled 16,000 units for the year.
- Orders for the year exceeded 16,500 units valued at over $1.5 billion across a broad range of railcar types.
- Cash provided by operating activities exceeded $280 million for the year.
William A. Furman, Chairman and CEO, said, "Greenbrier delivered strong results for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2017. This positive financial performance was achieved by successfully executing on Greenbrier's strategy to foster and grow its North American business, while simultaneously expanding to global markets. Greenbrier's earnings exceeded our guidance range for fiscal 2017. Aggregate gross margin for the year remained healthy at 19.4%. Operationally, in a competitive North American freight railcar market, Greenbrier added market share during fiscal 2017, receiving orders exceeding 16,500 railcars valued at $1.5 billion – about double the number and value of railcar orders received in fiscal 2016. Management services added approximately 70,000 railcars to its managed fleet in the year and an additional 15,000 railcars post quarter end. Greenbrier now provides management services for over 20% of the North American fleet."
Furman continued, "Financially, we ended the year with a strong balance sheet and liquidity. The Board of Directors increased the quarterly dividend by 4.5% to $0.23 per share or an annualized rate of $0.92. We extended share repurchase authorization through March 2019, and improved the capital efficiency of Greenbrier through a newly formed lease warehouse facility. Greenbrier's approach to capital deployment will continue to balance investing in internal projects, funding strategic growth, and returning capital to shareholders."
Furman concluded, "The past year was transformative for Greenbrier, as we diversified our business with increased investments in Europe, Brazil and in the Gulf Cooperation Council region. Greenbrier will advance its international agenda further in fiscal 2018. Greenbrier's backlog of over 28,600 units valued at $2.8 billion is higher now than at the beginning of fiscal 2017, providing visibility into fiscal 2018 and beyond. Backlog spans almost all railcar types and has grown both internationally and domestically. As we grow Greenbrier's core North American business and see a larger contribution from international operations, we expect more deliveries to produce greater revenue and higher EPS in fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017."
Business Outlook
Based on current business trends, industry forecasts and production schedules for fiscal 2018, Greenbrier believes:
- Deliveries will be 20,000 – 22,000 units including Greenbrier-Maxion (Brazil) which will account for up to 10% of deliveries
- Revenue will be $2.4 – $2.6 billion
- Diluted EPS of up to $4.00
As noted in the "Safe Harbor" statement, there are risks to achieving this guidance. Certain orders and backlog in this release are subject to customary documentation and completion of terms.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, GBW performed an interim goodwill test as sales and profitability trends declined beyond what was anticipated. As a result, GBW recorded a pre-tax impairment loss of $11.2 million. GBW is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, therefore our share of the non-cash impairment loss recognized by GBW was $3.5 million after-tax ($0.11 per share) and is included as part of Earnings (loss) from unconsolidated affiliates on our Consolidated Statement of Income.

Reconciliation of common shares outstanding, adjusted net earnings attributable to Greenbrier and adjusted diluted earnings per share | ||||

Restricted stock grants and restricted stock units, including some grants subject to certain performance criteria, are included in weighted average basic common shares outstanding when the Company is in a net earnings position. |
(2) |
The dilutive effect of the 2018 Convertible notes are included in the Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding as they were considered dilutive under the "if converted" method as further discussed below. |
(3) |
Restricted stock units subject to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved, and are included in Weighted average diluted shares outstanding when the company is in a net earnings position. |
Diluted earnings per share was calculated using the more dilutive of two approaches. The first approach includes the dilutive effect, using the treasury stock method, associated with shares underlying the 2024 Convertible notes and performance based restricted stock units that are subject to performance criteria, for which actual levels of performance above target have been achieved. The second approach supplements the first by including the "if converted" effect of the 2018 Convertible notes issued in March 2011. Under the "if converted method" debt issuance and interest costs, both net of tax, associated with the convertible notes are added back to net earnings and the share count is increased by the shares underlying the convertible notes.
