Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FreightCar America, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The foregoing financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying interim financial information is unaudited; however, the Company believes the financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. The 2023 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2023. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified, where necessary, to conform to the current year presentation. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company had no contract assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company may receive cash payments from customers in advance of the Company satisfying performance obligations under its sales contracts resulting in deferred revenue or customer deposits, which are considered contract liabilities. Deferred revenue and customer deposits are classified as either current or long-term in the condensed consolidated balance sheet based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the related revenue. There was no deferred revenue or customer deposits as of March 31, 2024.

Segment Information

Note 4 – Segment Information

The Company’s operations consist of two operating segments, Manufacturing and Parts, and one reportable segment, Manufacturing. The Company’s Manufacturing segment includes new railcar manufacturing, railcar repairs, complete railcar rebody services, railcar conversions for repurposed use, and servicing railcars. The Company’s Parts operating segment is not significant for reporting purposes and has been combined with corporate and other non-operating activities as Corporate and Other.

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

Equity [Abstract]

Mezzanine Equity

Note 11 – Mezzanine Equity

In May 2023, the Company issued to OC III LFE 85,412 shares of non-convertible Series C Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, with an initial stated and fair value of $85,412 or $1,000 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). As of March 31, 2024, 85,412 shares of the Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding. The Company classifies the Preferred Stock as mezzanine equity (temporary equity outside of permanent equity) since a deemed liquidation event following a change of control may require redemption of the Preferred Stock that is not solely within the control of the Company.

The Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up. Dividends accrue at a rate of 17.5% per annum on the initial stated value of the Preferred Stock. Accrued dividends, whether or not declared, are cumulative. OC III LFE will not participate in any dividends paid to holders of Common Stock.

The Company may redeem outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at any time by payment of the initial stated value plus accrued dividends. If the Company has not redeemed all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock on or prior to the fourth anniversary of issuance, the dividend rate will increase by 0.5% for every quarter thereafter until redeemed in full (the “Dividend Rate Increase”). OC III LFE has the right to request the Company redeem all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at any time after the sixth anniversary of issuance. If the Company does not redeem all of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock within six months after receipt of a redemption request, OC III LFE will be entitled to certain limited voting rights.

The Preferred Stock has similar characteristics of an “Increasing Rate Security” as described by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5Q, Increasing Rate Preferred Stock. As a result, and as the Company has the ability to redeem all of the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock before the occurrence of a Dividend Rate Increase, the discount on outstanding shares of Preferred Stock is considered an unstated dividend cost that is amortized over the period preceding commencement of the Dividend Rate Increase using the effective interest method, by charging imputed dividend cost against retained earnings, or additional paid in capital in the absence of retained earnings, and increasing the carrying amount of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock by a corresponding amount. Accordingly, the discount is amortized over four years using the effective yield method. Issuance costs of $2,301 were allocated against the outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock upon issuance. The Company recognized discount amortization of $144 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company did not recognize any discount amortization during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives

Note 15 – Derivatives

The Company’s operations and expenditures in its normal course of business are subject to opportunities and risks related to foreign currency fluctuations. The Company currently utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to protect against downward currency exposure by hedging Mexican Peso denominated expenses against the risk of volatility in foreign currency exchange rates between the Mexican Peso and the U.S. Dollar.

During 2023 and 2024, the Company entered into forward contracts to hedge the Company’s anticipated and probable Mexican Peso denominated expenses against the foreign currency rate exposure. The contracts have terms between one and 12 months and require the Company to exchange currencies at agreed-upon rates at each settlement date. The counterparties to the contracts consist of a limited number of major domestic and international financial institutions. The Company classifies these contracts as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company does not have any non-designated derivatives.

The Company assesses the assumed effectiveness of the contracts at each reporting period. The foreign currency derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company records unrealized gains or losses related to changes in the fair value of the forward contracts in other comprehensive income as long as the contracts are assumed to be effective. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to the condensed consolidated statements of operations on the same line as the items being hedged when the hedged item impacts earnings or upon determination that the contract is no longer assumed to be effective.

The notional amounts of outstanding foreign currency derivatives are as follows:


	March 31,		December 31,
Notional Amount	2024		2023
Derivative instruments designated as hedges:
Foreign currency derivatives	$	10,815	$	11,562

The fair value of outstanding foreign currency derivatives designated as hedges are as follows:


	March 31,		December 31,
Fair Value	2024		2023
Prepaid expenses:
Foreign currency derivatives	$	813	$	606

The pre-tax realized gain on foreign currency derivatives is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows:


		Amount of (Gain) Recognized
		Three Months Ended March 31,

Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted		29,580,182			26,545,463

The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for Common Stock and participating securities. The Company’s participating securities are its grants of restricted stock which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. The Company allocates earnings between both classes; however, in periods of undistributed losses, they are only allocated to common shares as the unvested restricted stockholders do not contractually participate in losses of the Company. The Company computes basic earnings per share by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Warrants issued in connection with the Company's long-term debt were issued at a nominal exercise price and are considered outstanding at the date of issuance. The 2023 Warrant was issued out-of-the money and the Company will apply the treasury stock method to the 2023 Warrant when computing earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share is calculated to give effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options and the assumed vesting of nonvested share awards. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 4,781,274 and 2,086,898 shares, respectively, were not included in the weighted average common shares outstanding calculation as they were anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes

Mar. 31, 2024

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Note 18 – Income Taxes

The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. The Company’s reported effective income tax rate was 18.2% and (2.3)% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate of 18.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was higher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to an increase in the mix of forecasted earnings and permanent items. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 varies from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to earnings from international jurisdictions and permanent differences, predominantly Mexico, taxed at higher tax rates and a full valuation allowance in the U.S. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 was lower than the 21% U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to earnings from international jurisdictions and permanent differences and discrete events, predominantly Mexico, taxed at higher tax rates and a full valuation allowance in the U.S.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Basis of Presentation (Policy)	3 Months Ended
Basis of Presentation (Policy)	Mar. 31, 2024
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FreightCar America, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The foregoing financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying interim financial information is unaudited; however, the Company believes the financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. The 2023 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2023. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified, where necessary, to conform to the current year presentation. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
