FreightCar America, Inc. Segments Disclosure
Note 20 – Segment Information
The Company’s operations consist of two operating and reportable segments, Manufacturing and Aftermarket. The Company identifies reportable segments based on differences in products and services. The Company’s Manufacturing segment includes new railcar manufacturing, used railcar sales, and major railcar conversions and rebodies. The Company’s Aftermarket segment includes the selling of forged, cast and fabricated railcar parts and supplies for all railcar types, and provides aftermarket services including safety training, railcar inspections, and preventative maintenance.
The Company’s designated Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is our President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses segment gross profit and segment operating income to allocate resources to segments during the planning and forecasting process and assess performance in a given period. Segment gross profit and segment operating income include 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 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. Intersegment revenues were not material in any period presented.
A summary of segment information and reconciliation to consolidated loss before income taxes is as follows:

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
