Tank car retrofit order removed from backlog. FreightCar America removed 1,285 railcars associated with a tank car retrofit contract from its backlog after determining that the customer was unlikely to fulfill its contractual obligations. The order included deliveries scheduled for the second half of 2026 and throughout 2027. Management emphasized that the cancellation is specific to one customer and does not affect other orders. Following the adjustment, the September 30, 2026, backlog totaled 2,660 railcars valued at $284.5 million.
Preliminary Q3 2026 results reflect lower production volumes. FreightCar America expects third-quarter revenue of $75 million to $77 million, down approximately 53% from $160.5 million in the prior-year period. Railcar deliveries declined 49% to 662 units, while adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately breakeven, compared with $17.0 million a year earlier. We now forecast revenue of $76.1 million, adjusted EBITDA of $0.0 million, and a loss of $(0.13) per share.

New charter at an attractive rate. Euroseas announced a new time charter for its 2001-built, 2,556 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) feeder containership, M/V EM Corfu, at a gross daily rate of $62,500 for a minimum period of 12 to a maximum period of 14 months. The charter, expected to commence in mid-December following a scheduled dry-dock, represents a significant increase from the previous rate of $28,000 per day. The new charter is expected to generate approximately $17.8 million in EBITDA over the minimum 12-month period. The agreement increases charter coverage to approximately 100% for 2026, 91% for 2027, and 49% for 2028.
Monetizing an older vessel. Euroseas also agreed to sell the M/V Evridiki G, a 2001-built sister vessel of the EM Corfu, for approximately $26 million. The transaction is expected to generate a gain of $22.5 million, or $3.19 per share. We view the sale favorably given the vessel’s age and the opportunity to realize an attractive price while reducing the fleet’s exposure to older tonnage.

Transaction. As noted, NN is eliminating its outstanding Preferred stock, which will eliminate the associated dividends that cost the Company approximately $19 million in 2025. NN issued 11.3 million shares in the PIPE transaction and an additional 4.8 million pre-funded warrants. Eliminating the dividends and increasing the share count would lower our 4Q26 estimated loss per share to $0.03 from a prior $0.06. The elimination of $122.1 million of outstanding preferred stock as of June 30th significantly improves NN’s capital structure.
Term Loan. At the end of June, NN had $133.5 million outstanding under its term loan facility at a 13.5% interest rate. We believe the elimination of the preferred, along with solid operating performance, gives management the opportunity to refi the term debt at a lower rate. For illustrative purposes, reducing the interest rate to 10% from 13.5% would save the Company $4.6 million in annual interest costs, or about $0.04/sh, based on 100 million shares outstanding.

After federal and state taxes and transaction fees and expenses, GEO anticipates receiving approximately $705 million in net proceeds from these sales.
GEO expects to continue providing support services under the Company’s existing contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) for Adelanto East, Adelanto West, and Desert View, which has a full term effective through December 19, 2034, inclusive of the current term ending December 19, 2029 and a five-year option period.

At this time, there is no definitive agreement in place nor a precise timeline for the closing of any additional transactions, and GEO can provide no assurance that any additional transactions will occur.
George C. Zoley, GEO’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, said, “We are pleased with the completion of these important asset sales to the U.S. federal government, and we look forward to continuing to provide high-quality secure support services under our existing long-term contracts with ICE. We are proud of our 40-year public-private partnership with ICE, and we stand ready to continue to assist the federal government in meeting its immigration enforcement priorities. We remain focused on allocating capital to enhance long-term value for shareholders, including through share repurchases.”

Management Commentary. NN management noted, “Our business continues to build momentum as we ramp up in our key growth markets of Data Center, Defense & Electronics, and Medical, where demand for our solutions remains strong and actively expanding. Our year-to-date results and year-to-go forecast underpin this improved guidance and reflect the steady performance of our growth and cost programs.”

A Sale. Titan International entered into an agreement to sell its Italtractor ITM undercarriage business. The sale is expected to generate cash value of approximately $285 million, which includes a $207 million initial purchase price, $6 million of potential earnout proceeds, $23 million of customary adjustments based on ITM’s net assets and financial position at closing, and $49 million of dividends, consisting of $38 million received in recent years and $11 million expected prior to closing. The deal is expected to close in early January.
Focus. We expect Titan to use the proceeds to sharpen its focus on the core global wheel and tire operations serving the agriculture, construction, and consumer markets.
