2009-11-04 18:29 ET - News Release


ST. CHARLES, Mo. -- (Business Wire)

American Railcar Industries, Inc. (ARI or the Company) (NASDAQ: ARII) today reported its third quarter 2009 financial results.

“We shipped approximately 610 railcars in the third quarter of 2009, resulting in EBITDA of $9.1 million and net earnings of $1.1 million,” said James Cowan, President and CEO of ARI. “As the weak economy is driving low demand for railcars, we shipped 71% fewer railcars in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to the same quarter of 2008. The weak railcar market has and will continue to require us to evaluate our production levels at all manufacturing locations and we plan to continue to adjust our workforce and production levels as needed. In addition, we have reduced overhead costs at all manufacturing locations as a result of reduced spending. Our railcar services segment continues to experience strong results with revenues increasing 32% in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same quarter of 2008. Our balance sheet continues to be strong with $287.1 million in cash and $50.1 million in short-term investments.”
