Term Loan Refi. NN announced the successful completion of its term loan refinancing. The new term loan has multiple improved operational features that management expects will enable the Company to improve and grow faster. Combined with the $65 million ABL refinancing announced in January, yesterday’s announcement sets the stage for a new chapter for NN, in our view.

Details. Although we are awaiting an 8-K filing to drill down into all the terms of the new financing, the term loan is $118 million, with a 2030 maturity. There is a $10 million add-on feature for certain borrowing and improved leverage and liquidity covenants. However, the interest rates are slightly higher than the previous term loan. Marathon Asset Management is the new lender.

FreightCar America (RAIL) – While the Tariff Overhang is Removed, RAIL Shares Remain Undervalued


Friday, April 04, 2025

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

No direct tariff impact. While the Trump administration recently announced sweeping new tariffs, goods from Mexico and Canada that comply with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) trade agreement remain exempt from tariffs, except for automobile exports and steel and aluminum, which fall under separate tariffs. FreightCar America sources most of its raw materials, including aluminum, from the United States.

Return to business as usual. FreightCar America, along with customers in its addressable markets, have greater certainty regarding tariff policies, which could promote a return to business as usual for those that might have previously deferred orders due to uncertainty. While the Trump administration’s trade policies could have implications for U.S. and global economic growth, we believe the tariffs are negotiable. Importantly, because RAIL continues to increase its market share serving an industry that is in a replacement cycle, we do not anticipate a change in RAIL’s near-term sales trajectory despite the potential for slower economic growth.

Release – NJ TRANSIT to Install Conduent 3D Fare Gates to Modernize Stations

Research News and Market Data on CNDT

April 02, 2025

Transportation

New gates will be installed at the Secaucus Junction and Newark Liberty International Airport stations

Contract follows a recent agreement with SEPTA to install Conduent’s fare gates at nine different transit stations in the nearby Philadelphia area

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Conduent Transportation, a global provider of smart mobility technology solutions and business unit of Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), today announced a contract with NJ TRANSIT to install state-of-the-art 3D fare gates across two of its stations in New Jersey. NJ TRANSIT will leverage Conduent’s advanced 3D Fare Gate Solution to modernize its infrastructure and enhance the reliability of fare collections.

The nearly 8-foot-tall gates will be installed in the coming months at NJ TRANSIT’s Secaucus Junction and Newark Liberty International Airport stations. The agency also has the option to expand the 3D gates to additional locations, further building on Conduent’s trusted 30 year-partnership with NJ TRANSIT.

“We’re honored to expand our relationship with NJ TRANSIT with their adoption of our 3D Fare Gate Solution,” said Adam Appleby, Group President, Public Sector Solutions at Conduent. “This innovative technology modernizes fare collection and helps ensure fair access to a transit system that benefits the entire region.”

In 2024, NJ TRANSIT awarded a five-year contract to Conduent for the continued implementation and enhancement of its contactless fare collection system.

The new fare gate agreement, for 72 gates in total, comes on the heels of a 2024 contract with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) to install 100 Conduent 3D fare gates at nine transit stations in the Philadelphia area. SEPTA’s decision followed a successful pilot program at one station, where the integration of 3D fare gates and transit police efforts to deter fare evasion led to an increase in annual revenue. The gates are also used in Paris by Transilien SNCF.

Favorable revenue growth. The company reported 7% year-over-year revenue growth to $23.7 million, largely in line with our estimate of $24.0 million. The adj. EBITDA loss of $3.8 million was greater than our estimated loss of $2.1 million, due to gross margin compression resulting from a shift in product mix on the company’s lighting website.

Mandatory standardization application. Management noted that the company’s team responsible for applying the mandatory standardization to the National Electrical Code believes it will receive assistance from certain key organizations during its application process. This is due to the significant safety advantages of the company’s technology. We view this development favorably, as the prospect of mandatory standardization represents a potentially transformative revenue opportunity for the company.

Investor Day. The GEO Group hosted an investor day at the end of last week, during which the Company outlined the substantial growth opportunities available under the new programs to manage undocumented migrants, as well as its goal to both significantly reduce debt and return capital to shareholders.

This new contract will add $70 million of annualized revenue. Management estimates currently unused bed capacity (including the three facilities recently contracted by ICE) could add $575-$625 million to revenue.
