DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS & BASIS OF PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS & BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Wabash National Corporation (the “Company,” “Wabash,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) was founded in 1985 and incorporated as a corporation in Delaware in 1991, with its principal executive offices in Lafayette, Indiana. The Company was founded as a dry van trailer manufacturer—today, the Company enables customers to thrive by providing insight into tomorrow and delivering pragmatic solutions today to move everything from first to final mile. The Company designs, manufactures, and services a diverse range of products, including dry freight and refrigerated trailers, platform trailers, tank trailers, dry and refrigerated truck bodies, structural composite panels and products, trailer aerodynamic solutions, and specialty food grade processing equipment. This diversification has been achieved through acquisitions, organic growth, and product innovation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company, its results of operations, and its cash flows. The Company consolidates into its financial statements the accounts of the Company and any partially owned subsidiary it has the ability to control (see Note 6). The Company does not have any subsidiaries it consolidates based solely on the power to direct the activities and significant participation in the entity’s expected results that would not otherwise be consolidated based on control through voting interests. Further, its affiliates are businesses established and maintained in connection with its operating strategy and are not special purposes entities. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]  
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. A public entity is also required to provide a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The amendments also remove certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial. The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and retrospective application is permitted. Although the ASU only modifies the Company's required income tax disclosures, the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the consolidated financial statements. The effective date of this ASU is for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is evaluating the effect this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
REVENUE RECOGNITION REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied; this occurs with the transfer of control of our products and replacement parts or throughout the completion of service work. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer and excludes all taxes collected from the customer. Shipping and handling fees are included in Net sales, and the associated costs are included in Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For shipping and handling costs that occur after the transfer of control, the Company applies the practical expedient and treats such costs as a fulfillment cost. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense.
The Company has identified three separate and distinct performance obligations: (1) the sale of a trailer or equipment, (2) the sale of replacement parts, and (3) service work. For trailer, truck body, equipment, and replacement part sales, control is transferred and revenue is recognized from the sale upon shipment to, or pick up by, the customer in accordance with the contract terms. The Company does not have any material extended payment terms as payment is received shortly after the point of sale. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. The Company does have customers who pay for the product prior to the transfer of control, which is recorded as customer deposits in Other accrued liabilities as shown in Note 12. Customer deposits are recognized as revenue when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and transfers control of the product. Typically, customer deposits are recognized as revenue within 30 days under standard terms as customers pick up trailers.

Trailerhawk.AI, LLC
The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with guidance found in ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). The guidance requires consideration given, including contingent consideration, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed to be valued at their fair values at the acquisition date. The guidance further provides that: (1) acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred, (2) restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and (3) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. ASC 805 requires that any excess of purchase price over fair value of assets acquired, including identifiable intangibles and liabilities assumed, be recognized as goodwill.
On February 3, 2025, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and certain of the liabilities of TrailerHawk.ai, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Trailerhawk”), from Loadsmith Holding Corporation for an initial purchase price of $2.5 million less an allowance of $0.8 million for 2025 development activities, plus the release of $3.0 million and accrued interest of $0.1 million on convertible promissory notes, and contingent consideration related to the earnout liability as described below. Trailerhawk is an innovation leader leveraging artificial intelligence and telematics to create digital solutions that allow customers to protect trailer and cargo through the logistics chain. This investment is synergistic with our recurring revenue initiatives, particularly for our Linq Venture Holdings, LLC and Trailers as a Service (TaaS)SM offerings. Trailerhawk is included within the Parts and Services reportable segment. The acquisition agreement includes a purchase price adjustment clause that provides for the possibility of additional earnout payments of up to $15.0 million over a period of seven years after the closing date of the transaction based on certain profitability metrics as a percentage of revenue for each of the subsequent seven years from the acquisition.
The initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete due to the pending finalization of the valuation of certain tangible assets, intangible assets and the earnout liability. Consequently, provisional amounts for these assets and liabilities have been recorded based on the information currently available. The provisional amounts are as follows: Identifiable intangible assets $9.1 million, other assets $0.3 million, and earnout liability $4.7 million. The provisional amounts are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as the valuation studies are finalized. The primary areas of uncertainty include the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and earnout liabilities. During the measurement period, the Company will adjust the provisional amounts retrospectively to reflect any new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Any such adjustments will be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Any significant measurement period adjustments will be disclosed in subsequent financial statements, including the impact on the statement of operations and balance sheet. As of September 30, 2025, the Company recognized $8.2 million of Goodwill due to the acquisition of Trailerhawk. The Goodwill from this transaction is deductible for tax purposes.

NONCONTROLLING INTEREST, VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (“VIEs”) AND INVESTMENTS

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
NONCONTROLLING INTEREST, VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (“VIEs”) AND INVESTMENTS NONCONTROLLING INTEREST, VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (“VIEs”) AND INVESTMENTS
VIEs & Consolidation
The Company consolidates those entities in which it has a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either the variable interest model (the “VIE model”) or the voting interest model (the “VOE model”).
VIEs are entities that, by design, either (i) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (ii) have equity investors that do not have the ability to make significant decisions relating to the entity’s operations through voting rights, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses, or do not have the right to receive the residual returns of the entity.
The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the VIE. The primary beneficiary is the party that has both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE through its interest in the VIE.
To assess whether the Company has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, the Company considers all the facts and circumstances, including its role in establishing the VIE and its ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and identifying which party, if any, has power over those activities. In general, the parties that make the most significant decisions affecting the VIE (typically management and representation on the board of directors as well as control of the overall strategic direction of the entity) and have the right to unilaterally remove those decision-makers are deemed to have the power to direct the activities of a VIE.
To assess whether the Company has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, the Company considers all of its economic interests, which primarily include the obligation to absorb losses or fund expenditures or losses (if needed), that are deemed to be variable interests in the VIE. This assessment requires the Company to apply judgment in determining whether these interests, in the aggregate, are considered potentially significant to the VIE. Factors considered in assessing the significance include: the design of the VIE, including its capitalization structure; subordination of interests; payment priority; relative share of interests held across various classes within the VIE’s capital structure; and the reasons why the interests are held by the Company.
At the VIE’s inception, the Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary and if the VIE should be consolidated based on the facts and circumstances. The Company then performs on-going reassessments of the VIE based on reconsideration events and reevaluates whether a change to the consolidation conclusion is required each reporting period. If the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary in a VIE, the Company accounts for the investment or other variable interests in a VIE in accordance with the applicable GAAP.
Entities that do not qualify as a VIE are assessed for consolidation under the VOE model. Under the VOE model, the Company consolidates the entity if it determines that it, directly or indirectly, has greater than 50% of the voting shares and that other equity holders do not have substantive voting, participating or liquidation rights. The Company has no entities consolidated under the VOE model.
At each reporting period, the Company reassesses whether it remains the primary beneficiary for VIEs consolidated under the VIE model.
If the Company concludes it is not the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company evaluates whether it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entity requiring the equity method of accounting. The Company’s judgment regarding the level of influence over an equity method investment includes, but is not limited to, considering key factors such as the Company’s ownership interest (generally represented by ownership of at least 20 percent but not more than 50 percent), representation on the board of directors, participation in policy making decisions, technological dependency, and material intercompany transactions. Generally, under the equity method, investments are recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted by the Company’s share of equity in income or losses after the date of the initial investment. Equity in income or losses is recorded according to the Company’s level of ownership; if losses accumulate, the Company records its share of losses until the investment has been fully depleted. If the Company’s investment has been fully depleted, the Company recognizes additional losses only when it is committed to provide further financial support. Dividends received from equity method reduce the amount of the Company’s investment when received and do not impact the Company’s earnings. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for an other-than-temporary impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable.
Linq Venture Holdings LLC
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company continued to unify and expand its parts and services capabilities and ecosystem by executing an agreement with a partner to create Linq Venture Holdings LLC, (“Linq”). Linq aims to develop and scale a digital marketplace for the transportation and logistics distribution industry. It intends to serve as the digital channel for marketing Wabash equipment and parts & services, as well as non-Wabash parts & services, in a digital marketplace format to end-customers as well as dealers.
The Company holds 49% ownership of the membership units in Linq, while its partner holds 51%. Initial capital contributions to Linq were made in proportion to the respective ownership interests, with the Company contributing approximately $2.5 million and its partner contributing approximately $2.6 million. At formation, Linq had no debt or other financial obligations beyond typical operating expenses. Creditors of Linq do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company. The operating agreement requires excess cash distributions, as defined in the agreement, to be made no later than 30 days after the end of the second and fourth quarters of each year, in proportion to the respective ownership interests.
The operating agreement provides the Company’s partner with put rights that would require the Company to purchase its partner’s interest in Linq. In addition, the operating agreement provides the Company with call rights that would allow it to purchase its partner’s interest in Linq. These put and call rights vary depending upon when they may be exercised, which is generally from formation of Linq up to and including the seven-year anniversary of formation. Upon receiving notice that the Company’s partner has exercised the put right or the Company has exercised the call right, a valuation will occur as stipulated within the operating agreement. On October 1, 2025, the Company delivered notice of the Company’s exercise of a call right to its partner (the “Exercise Notice”). The Exercise Notice provides for the Company’s purchase of its partner’s entire equity position in Linq, at an aggregate purchase price of $6.4 million and the forgiveness of the loan receivable for amounts borrowed under the Wabash Notes with an anticipated closing date of January 1, 2026.
Because Linq does not have sufficient equity at risk to permit it to carry on its activities without additional financial support, the Company concluded that Linq is a VIE. The Company has the ability to significantly influence the activities of Linq through minority representation on the Board of Directors as well as through participation in certain management and strategic decisions of Linq. The Company’s partner is responsible for the overall development and management of the digital marketplace, the primary purpose for which Linq was formed. Both the Company and its partner are required to provide funding to Linq if needed.
As part of Linq’s formation, the Company executed a credit agreement with Linq, providing a $10 million revolving line of credit (the “Wabash Note”) with a 7% simple accrued interest rate, paid quarterly. During the fourth quarter of 2024, an additional $15 million Wabash Note was approved by the Board of Directors, increasing the revolving line of credit to $25 million. The commitment under the Wabash Note may be increased to $35 million subject to the approval of the Board of Directors as stipulated in the operating agreement. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, $12.4 million was borrowed under the Wabash Notes and as of September 30, 2025, there was $23.5 million outstanding. As of and through the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, there was $8.7 million borrowed under the Wabash Note. Interest income resulting from the Wabash Notes for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 was $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Interest income from the Wabash Notes for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Interest income under the Wabash Notes is included in Other, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not provide financial or other support to Linq that it was not contractually obligated to provide.
Given the facts and circumstances specific to Linq, the Company concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE. However, the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Linq. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss in this unconsolidated VIE is limited to the Company’s initial capital contribution and any amounts borrowed under the Wabash Notes. The partner’s put right does not have a standalone value as it is based upon a fair value calculation when exercised, as stipulated in the operating agreement.
The Company’s equity method investment in Linq is recorded in Investment in unconsolidated entity on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any amounts borrowed under the Wabash Notes are recorded in Other assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Linq is considered operationally integral. The Company’s share of the results from its equity method investment is included in Loss from unconsolidated entity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(1) As the Company is not required to advance additional funds to Linq, excess losses beyond its initial investment have been recorded against the basis of its other investments in Linq, which is comprised of the loan receivable for amounts borrowed under the Wabash Notes.
Wabash Parts LLC
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company unified and expanded its parts and distribution capabilities by executing an agreement with a partner to create Wabash Parts LLC, (“WP”) to operate a parts and services distribution platform. The Company holds 50% ownership in WP while its partner holds the remaining 50%. Initial capital contributions were insignificant. WP has no debt or other financial obligations other than typical operating expenses and costs. Creditors of WP do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company. The operating agreement requires excess cash distributions, as defined in the agreement, no later than 30 days after the end of the second and fourth quarters of each year in proportion to the respective ownership interests.
The operating agreement provides the Company’s partner with a put right that would require the Company to purchase its partner’s interest in WP. Upon receiving notice that the Company’s partner has exercised the put right, a valuation will occur as stipulated within the operating agreement. Such put right has not been exercised by the Company’s partner and is therefore not mandatorily redeemable as of the current period end date, however the existence of the put right that is beyond the Company’s control requires the noncontrolling interest to be presented in the temporary equity section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Because the entity does not have sufficient equity at risk to permit it to carry on its activities without additional financial support, the Company concluded that WP is a VIE. The Company has the power to direct the activities of WP through majority representation on the Board of Directors as well as control related to the management and overall strategic direction of the entity. In addition, the Company has the obligation to absorb the benefits and losses of WP that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Company also has a requirement to provide funding to the entity if needed. Given the facts and circumstances specific to WP, the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary and, as such, is required to consolidate the entity. WP’s results of operations are included in the Parts & Services operating and reportable segment. Through September 30, 2025, the Company did not provide financial or other support to this VIE that it was not contractually obligated to provide. As of September 30, 2025, the Company does not have any obligations to provide financial support to WP.

UpLabs Ventures, LLC
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company established a collaborative framework with UpLabs Ventures, LLC to identify, design, incubate, develop, and launch new businesses (Portfolio Companies) in the mobility and digital solutions sector. This partnership aims to leverage the strengths of both parties to create innovative solutions and new market opportunities. The agreement includes detailed provisions for investment, equity sharing, intellectual property, revenue recognition, indemnification, purchase options, governance, and terminations, ensuring a structured and mutually beneficial partnership.
The Company’s initial capital investment in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $6.0 million to launch venture labs aimed at providing solutions that optimize customer end-to-end supply chains across transportation, logistics and infrastructure markets. The $6.0 million nonrefundable investment covers the first contract year. The cost method investment is recorded in Investment in unconsolidated entities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Additionally, for each contract year of the collaboration during the term, the Company pays fees in the amount of 2% of the investment amount, inclusive of any inflation adjustments and expenses of $0.5 million, subject to equivalent upward inflation adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index, compounded annually.

Senior Notes
On October 6, 2021, the Company closed on an offering of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.50% unsecured Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of October 6, 2021, by and among the Company, certain subsidiary guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Senior Notes bear interest at the rate of 4.50% and pay interest semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The Senior Notes will mature on October 15, 2028.
The Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 101.125% for the twelve-month period beginning October 15, 2025 and 100.000% beginning on October 15, 2026, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture), unless the Company has exercised its optional redemption right in respect of the Senior Notes, the holders of the Senior Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase.
The Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all direct and indirect existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain restrictions. The Senior Notes and related guarantees are the Company’s and the Guarantors’ general unsecured senior obligations and will be subordinated to all of the Company and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing that secured obligation. In addition, the Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to any existing and future debt of any of the Company’s subsidiaries that are not Guarantors, to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries.
Subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, the Indenture restricts the Company’s ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem, its capital stock or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits; (iii) make loans and certain investments; (iv) sell assets; (v) create or incur liens; (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (vii) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.
During any time when the Senior Notes are rated investment grade by at least two of Moody’s, Fitch and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and no Default (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing, many of such covenants will be suspended and the Company and its subsidiaries will cease to be subject to such covenants during such period.
The Indenture contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants, failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, may be declared immediately due and payable. These amounts automatically become due and payable if an event of default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occurs. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
Contractual coupon interest expense and accretion of fees for the Senior Notes for each three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 was $4.5 million and $0.2 million, and $13.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Contractual coupon interest expense and accretion of fees for the Senior Notes for each three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 was $4.5 million and $0.2 million, and $13.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Contractual coupon interest expense and accretion of fees for the Senior Notes are included in Interest expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Revolving Credit Agreement
On September 23, 2022, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries as borrowers (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors, the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC, as the administrative agent (the “Agent”), which amended the Company’s existing Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 21, 2018 (as amended from time to time, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”).
Under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the lenders agree to make available a $350 million revolving credit facility to the Borrowers with a scheduled maturity date of September 23, 2027. The Company has the option to increase the total commitments under the facility by up to an additional $175 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining agreements from one or more lenders, whether or not party to the Revolving Credit Agreement, to provide such additional commitments. Availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement is based upon quarterly (or more frequent under certain circumstances) borrowing base certifications of the Borrowers’ eligible inventory, eligible leasing inventory and eligible accounts receivable, and is reduced by certain reserves in effect from time to time.
Subject to availability, the Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a letter of credit subfacility in the amount of $25 million and allows for swingline loans in the amount of $35 million. Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at an annual rate, at the Borrowers’ election, equal to (i) adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% or (ii) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.75%, in each case depending upon the monthly average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Borrowers are required to pay a monthly unused line fee equal to 0.20% times the average daily unused availability along with other customary fees and expenses of the Agent and the lenders.
The Revolving Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantors”) and is secured by substantially all personal property of the Borrowers and the Guarantors.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, pay cash dividends, incur debt or liens, redeem or repurchase stock, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge, dissolve, repay subordinated indebtedness, make investments and dispose of assets. In addition, the Company will be required to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the end of any period of 12 fiscal months when excess availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement is less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the lesser of (i) the total revolving commitments and (ii) the borrowing base (such lesser amount, the “Line Cap”) and (b) $25 million. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
If availability under the Revolving Credit Agreement is less than the greater of (i) 10% of the Line Cap and (ii) $25 million for three consecutive business days, or if there exists an event of default, amounts in any of the Borrowers’ and the Guarantors’ deposit accounts (other than certain excluded accounts) will be transferred daily into a blocked account held by the Agent and applied to reduce the outstanding amounts under the facility.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders may, among other things, require the immediate payment of all amounts outstanding and foreclose on collateral. In addition, in the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, the lenders’ obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement would automatically terminate, and all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement would automatically become due and payable.
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company had payments of principal totaling $15.8 million and borrowings of principal totaling $0.8 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Commodity Pricing Risk
The Company was party to commodity swap contracts for specific commodities with notional amounts of approximately $18.7 million as of September 30, 2025 and $15.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company uses commodity swap contracts to mitigate the risks associated with fluctuations in commodity prices impacting its cash flows related to inventory purchases from suppliers. The Company does not hedge all commodity price risk.
At inception, the Company designated the commodity swap contracts as cash flow hedges. The contracts mature at specified monthly settlement dates and will be recognized into earnings through January 2026. The effective portion of the hedging transaction is recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) and transferred to earnings when the forecasted hedged transaction takes place or when the forecasted hedged transaction is no longer probable to occur.

LEASES LEASES
Lessee Activities
The Company records a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability for substantially all leases for which it is a lessee, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At inception of a contract, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances to assess whether or not the contract represents a lease by determining whether or not the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, either explicit or implicit, for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company leases certain industrial spaces, office spaces, land, and equipment. Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from generally 1 to 5 years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion, and are included in the lease term only to the extent such renewal options are reasonably certain of being exercised at lease commencement. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, leased assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities totaled approximately $8.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, leased assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities totaled approximately $7.5 million. As of September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, obligations related to operating leases that the Company has executed but have not yet commenced were $4.8 million and nominal, respectively.

Lessor and Sublessor Activities
The Company leases dry van trailers to customers under full-service lease agreements and operating lease agreements. At the inception of a contract, in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance (ASC 842, Leases) the Company considers whether the arrangement contains a lease and, as applicable, performs the required lease classification tests. The Company, as a lessor, has no sales-type or direct financing lease arrangements as of September 30, 2025.
The Company’s full-service lease agreements are an integrated service that include lease component amounts related to the use of the trailer, as well as non-lease components for preventative maintenance, certain repairs as defined in the related agreement, and ad valorem taxes. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance (ASC 842, Leases), the Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components when reporting revenue for the full-service underlying class of leased assets.
Initial lease terms are generally three to five years. Certain of the Company’s leases provide customers with renewal options that provide the ability to extend the lease term for a period of generally one to five years. In addition, some leases include options for the customer to purchase the trailers at fair market value, as determined by the Company at or near the end of the lease. The Company’s lease agreements generally do not have residual value guarantees nor permit customers to terminate the lease agreements prior to natural expiration. As stipulated in the lease agreements, the Company may receive reimbursements from customers for certain damage or required repairs to the trailers.
Certain of the Company’s leases and subleases are with a related party—such transactions were at market value and at arm’s length.
Lease income is included in Net sales on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and is recorded in the Parts & Services operating segment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s lease income consisted of the following components (in thousands):

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s fair value measurements are based upon a three-level valuation hierarchy. These valuation techniques are based upon the transparency of inputs (observable and unobservable) to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 — Valuation is based on quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 — Valuation is based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for the full term of the financial instrument; and
Level 3 — Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan which is offered to senior management and other key employees. The amount owed to participants is an unfunded and unsecured general obligation of the Company. Participants are offered various investment options with which to invest the amount owed to them, and the plan administrator maintains a record of the liability owed to participants by investment. To minimize the impact of the change in market value of this liability, the Company has elected to purchase a separate portfolio of investments through the plan administrator similar to those chosen by the participant.
The investments purchased by the Company include mutual funds, which are classified as Level 1, and life-insurance contracts valued based on the performance of underlying mutual funds, which are classified as Level 2. Additionally, the Company holds a pool of investments made by a wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary. These investments are comprised of mutual funds, which are classified as Level 1.
The fair value of the Company’s derivatives is estimated with a market approach using third-party pricing services, which have been corroborated with data from active markets or broker quotes, and are classified as Level 2.

Estimated Fair Value of Debt
The estimated fair value of debt at September 30, 2025 consists of the Senior Notes due 2028 (see Note 9). The fair value of the Senior Notes due 2028 are based upon third party pricing sources, which generally do not represent daily market activity or represent data obtained from an exchange, and are classified as Level 2. The interest rates on the Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement are adjusted regularly to reflect current market rates and thus carrying value approximates fair value for any borrowings.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
As of September 30, 2025, the Company was named as a defendant or was otherwise involved in numerous legal proceedings and governmental examinations, including class action lawsuits, in connection with the conduct of its business activities, in various jurisdictions, both in the United States and internationally. Accrual for losses have been recorded in accordance with GAAP. Based on the information currently available, management does not believe that existing proceedings and investigations will have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or liquidity if determined in a manner adverse to the Company except as otherwise described below. However, such matters are unpredictable, and we could incur judgments or enter into settlements for current or future claims that could materially and adversely affect our financial statements. Costs associated with the litigation and settlements of legal matters are reported within General and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Product Liability Claims
The Company is and has been, and may in the future be, subject to product liability claims and litigation incidental to the Company’s normal operating activities. On October 9, 2025, the Company finalized a settlement (the “Settlement”) with the plaintiffs in a lawsuit, Eileen Williams, Elizabeth Perkins, et al. v. Wabash National Corporation, et al., filed in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, Missouri (the “Product Liability Matter”), in which the Company was named as co-defendant. The Product Liability Matter related to a vehicle accident that resulted in two fatalities following a rear-end collision by a passenger vehicle with an unobstructed view which struck the back of a nearly stopped tractor-trailer owned and operated by co-defendant GDS Express Inc.
The Settlement will be covered by insurance, other than a $30 million contribution to be made by the Company. The Company, after taking into account the insurance coverage, recognized a $81.2 million reduction to the charge taken in the third quarter of 2024, as previously reported within General and Administrative expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation. This reduction reflects the reversal of an (1) insurance receivable of $11.5 million included in Other assets (the “Insurance Receivable”) and (2) aggregate liability for the Product Liability Matter of $122.7 million included in Other non-current liabilities (the “Matter Liability”), each, as previously reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2025. As of the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company has recognized a $418.6 million reduction in charges related to the Product Liability Matter in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation within General and Administrative expenses. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025, includes a current insurance receivable of $47 million recorded in Prepaid expenses and other and $77 million recorded in Other accrued liabilities related to the Settlement.
The evidence in the Product Liability Matter was undisputed that the trailer fully complied with all applicable regulations. Despite precedent to the contrary, the jury was prevented from hearing critical evidence in the case, including that the driver’s blood alcohol level was over the legal limit at the time of the accident and the fact that neither the driver nor the passenger was wearing a seatbelt.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, on September 5, 2024, a jury awarded compensatory damages of $12 million and punitive damages of $450 million against the Company in the Product Liability Matter. On November 22, 2024, applying an offset related to the plaintiff’s settlement with a separate defendant, the Circuit Court entered judgment in the Product Liability Matter consisting of compensatory damages of $11.5 million and punitive damages of $450 million. On March 20, 2025, the Circuit Court determined that the punitive damage award in the Product Liability Matter did not comport with the Company’s constitutional rights. Accordingly, the Circuit Court ordered the punitive damages award reduced to $108 million with the compensatory damages award remaining at $11.5 million (collectively, the “Adjusted Award”).
Based on the Adjusted Award, in the first quarter of 2025, the Company recognized a $342 million reduction to the $461.5 million charge taken in the third quarter of 2024. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company accrued a $3.2 million contingent liability for penalty costs using an annual interest rate based on the amended judgment. As of June 30, 2025, the Company (1) recognized the Matter Liability and (2) included the $342 million adjustment and a total of $4.6 million bond and contingent penalty interest expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operation within General and Administrative expenses for the period ended June 30, 2025.
The Settlement does not constitute an admission of liability or wrongdoing by the Company.
Environmental Disputes
In August 2014, the Company received notice as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (the “DHEC”) pertaining to the Philip Services Site located in Rock Hill, South Carolina pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and corresponding South Carolina statutes. PRPs include parties identified through manifest records as having contributed to deliveries of hazardous substances to the Philip Services Site between 1979 and 1999. The DHEC’s allegation that the Company was a PRP arises out of four manifest entries in 1989 under the name of a company unaffiliated with Wabash National Corporation (or any of its former or current subsidiaries) that purport to be delivering a de minimis amount of hazardous waste to the Philip Services Site “c/o Wabash National Corporation.” As such, the Philip Services Site PRP Group (the “PRP Group”) notified Wabash in August 2014 that it was offering the Company the opportunity to resolve any liabilities associated with the Philip Services Site by entering into a Cash Out and Reopener Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the PRP Group, as well as a Consent Decree with the DHEC. The Company has accepted the offer from the PRP Group to enter into the Settlement Agreement and Consent Decree, while reserving its rights to contest its liability for any deliveries of hazardous materials to the Philips Services Site. The requested settlement payment is immaterial to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and as a result, if the Settlement Agreement and Consent Decree are finalized, the payment to be made by the Company thereunder is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
On November 13, 2019, the Company received a notice that it was considered one of several PRPs by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (“IDEM”) under CERCLA and state law related to substances found in soil and groundwater at a property located at 817 South Earl Avenue, Lafayette, Indiana (the “Site”). The Company has never owned or operated the Site, but the Site is near certain of the Company’s owned properties. In 2020, the Company agreed to implement a limited work plan to further investigate the source of the contamination at the Site and worked with IDEM and other PRPs to finalize the terms of the work plan. The Company submitted its initial site investigation report to IDEM during the third quarter of 2020, indicating that the data collected by the Company’s consultant confirmed that the Company’s properties are not the source of contamination at the Site. In December 2021, after completing further groundwater sampling work, the Company submitted to IDEM a supplemental written report, which again stated that the Company is not a responsible party and the Company’s properties are not a source of any contamination. In June 2022, the Company and other PRPs finalized Work Plan Addendum No. 3, which provided for additional groundwater sampling on another PRP property. The Company completed all additional sampling and submitted supplemental reports to IDEM as of the first quarter of 2024. All available information and reports establish there is no source of any contamination on the Company’s owned properties. As of September 30, 2025, based on the information available, the Company does not expect this matter to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.
Chassis Converter Pool Agreements
The Company obtains vehicle chassis for its specialized vehicle products directly from the chassis manufacturers under converter pool agreements. Chassis are obtained from the manufacturers based on orders from customers, and in some cases, for unallocated orders. The agreements generally state that the manufacturer will provide a supply of chassis to be maintained at the Company’s facilities with the condition that we will store such chassis and will not move, sell, or otherwise dispose of such chassis except under the terms of the agreement. In addition, the manufacturer typically retains the sole authority to authorize commencement of work on the chassis and to make certain other decisions with respect to the chassis including the terms and pricing of sales of the chassis to the manufacturer’s dealers. The manufacturer also does not transfer the certificate of origin to the Company nor permit the Company to sell or transfer the chassis to anyone other than the manufacturer (for ultimate resale to a dealer). Although the Company is party to related finance agreements with manufacturers, the Company has not historically settled, nor expects to in the future settle, any related obligations in cash. Instead, the obligation is settled by the manufacturer upon reassignment of the chassis to an accepted dealer, and the dealer is invoiced for the chassis by the manufacturer. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2025, the Company’s outstanding chassis converter pool with the manufacturer totaled $70.3 million and has included this financing agreement on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Other accrued liabilities. Typically, chassis are converted and delivered to customers within 90 days of the receipt of the chassis by the Company.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic earnings per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including vested shares deferred under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Diluted earnings per common share is determined based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period combined with the incremental average common shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares into common shares as of the earliest date possible. The calculation of basic and diluted net income attributable to common stockholders per common share is determined using net income attributable to common stockholders as the numerator and the number of shares included in the denominator as shown below (in thousands, except per share amounts). The number of antidilutive securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share (“EPS”) in the future but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would be antidilutive was 304,077 and 657,074 shares, respectively for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2025. For the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2024, there were 299,944 and 249,891 antidilutive shares, respectively.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract]  
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company recognizes all share-based payments based upon their grant date fair value. The Company grants restricted stock units subject to specific service, performance, and/or market conditions. The Company’s policy is to recognize expense for awards that have service conditions only subject to graded vesting using the straight-line attribution method. In addition, the Company’s policy is to estimate expected forfeitures on share-based awards. The fair value of service and performance-based units is based on the market price of a share of underlying common stock at the date of grant. The fair values of the awards that contain market conditions are estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation approach in a risk-neutral framework to model future stock price movements based upon historical volatility, risk-free rates of return, and correlation matrix. The amount of compensation costs related to restricted stock units and performance units not yet recognized, excluding estimated forfeitures, was $13.7 million at September 30, 2025, for which the expense will be recognized through 2028.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized income tax expense of $11.6 million compared to income tax benefit of $108.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The Company recognized income tax expense of $87.0 million in the first nine months of 2025 compared to income tax benefit of $92.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rates for the three- and nine-months of 2025 were 22.5% and 25.0%, respectively. For the three- and nine-month period of 2024, the effective tax rates were 24.7% and 24.6%. The effective three- and nine-month tax rates from 2025 and 2024 differ from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of state taxes.
On July 4, 2025, The One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into legislation and includes numerous tax incentives and provisions. The Company is evaluating the impact of the new legislation but does not expect a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

SEGMENTS SEGMENTS
a. Segment Reporting
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is comprised of the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors. Based on how the CODM manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions, and evaluates operating performance, the Company manages its business in two operating and reportable segments: Transportation Solutions and Parts & Services.
Additional information related to the composition of each segment is included below.
Transportation Solutions (“TS”): The TS segment comprises the design and manufacturing operations for the Company’s transportation-related equipment and products. This includes dry and refrigerated van trailers, platform trailers, and the Company’s wood flooring production facility. The Company’s EcoNex™ products, which are part of the Company’s AcuthermTM portfolio of solutions designed for intelligent thermal management, are also reported in the TS segment. Additionally, the TS segment includes tank trailers and truck-mounted tanks. Finally, truck-mounted dry and refrigerated bodies, as well as service and stake bodies, are also in the TS segment.
Parts & Services (“P&S”): The P&S segment comprises the Company’s Parts and Services business, as well as the Upfitting Solutions and Services business (a component of our Truck Bodies business). Additionally, the Company’s Composites business, which focuses on the use of DuraPlate® composite panels beyond the semi-trailer market, is also part of the P&S segment. This segment also includes the Wabash Parts LLC and Linq Venture Holdings LLC entities, which we created with our partners as further described in Note 6. Our Trailers as a Service (TaaS)SM initiatives, which combine our market-leading trailer products with emerging capabilities like parts distribution and a growing maintenance and repair network to provide a valuable suite of services to our customers, are included in the P&S segment as well. Finally, the P&S segment includes the Company’s Engineered Products business, which manufactures stainless-steel storage tanks and silos, mixers and processors for a variety of end markets. Growing and expanding the Parts and Services offerings continues to be a key strategic initiative for the Company.
The accounting policies of the TS and P&S segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies except that the Company evaluates segment performance based on income from operations. The CODM evaluates performance by considering comparative period and forecast-to-actual variances for these measures monthly. The Company has not allocated certain corporate related administrative costs, interest, and income taxes included in the corporate and eliminations segment to the Company’s other reportable segments. The Company accounts for intersegment sales and transfers at cost. Segment assets are not presented as it is not a measure reviewed by the CODM in allocating resources and assessing performance.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]  
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. A public entity is also required to provide a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The amendments also remove certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial. The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and retrospective application is permitted. Although the ASU only modifies the Company's required income tax disclosures, the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the consolidated financial statements. The effective date of this ASU is for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is evaluating the effect this guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied; this occurs with the transfer of control of our products and replacement parts or throughout the completion of service work. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer and excludes all taxes collected from the customer. Shipping and handling fees are included in Net sales, and the associated costs are included in Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For shipping and handling costs that occur after the transfer of control, the Company applies the practical expedient and treats such costs as a fulfillment cost. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense.
