Stock-Based Compensation Effective January 1, 2006, Wabtec adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which requires the company to recognize compensation expense for stock-based compensation based on the grant date fair value. This expense must be recognized ratably over the requisite service period following the date of grant. Wabtec has elected the modified prospective transition method for adoption, and prior periods financial statements have not been restated. Prior to January 1, 2006, Wabtec accounted for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.
Pro Forma Effect Prior to the Adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) Wabtecs net income and earnings per share for 2005 would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts shown below if compensation expense had been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.

Stock-Based Plans Stock options have been granted at not less than market prices on the dates of grant. Generally, the options become exercisable over a three-year vesting period and expire ten years from the date of grant. In January 2006, Wabtec granted 32,000 stock options to certain individuals. The Company has now adopted a non-vested stock plan and issued 200,500 awards to executives in February 2006. The non-vested stock generally vests over four years from the date of grant. In addition, the Company established in 2004, a stock-based incentive plan for eligible employees. The plan provides stock awards which vest upon attainment of certain three year performance targets. Wabtec also sponsors an employee stock purchase plan, whereby participants can purchase the Companys common stock at a discount of about 15% of the lesser of fair market value on the first or last day of each offering period.
Stock based compensation was $6.0 million and $625,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This included $5 million and $625,000, respectively, related to non-vested stock and the stock awards under the incentive plan, the accounting for which was not impacted significantly by the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), compensation expense increased by $291,000 and $670,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and basic and diluted earnings per share decreased by about $0.01 and $0.01, respectively. At June 30, 2006, unamortized compensation expense related to those stock options, non-vested shares and stock awards expected to vest totaled $15.3 million and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

Wabtec uses a Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate fair value at grant date for future option grants. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Stock price volatility |

The dividend yield is based on the Companys dividend rate and the current market price of the underlying common stock at the date of grant. Expected life in years is determined from historical stock option exercise data. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Wabtec stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury bond rates for the expected life of the option.

As of June 30, 2006, stock awards issued under the incentive plan are awarded but not vested. These stock awards will vest based upon the achievement of certain financial goals for each three year periods ending December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The stock awards included in the table above represent the maximum number of shares that may ultimately vest. As of June 30, 2006, based on the Companys performance, we estimate that the majority of these stock awards will vest and have recorded compensation expense

accordingly. If our estimate of the number of these stock awards expected to vest changes in a future accounting period, compensation expense could be reduced and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period.
Financial Derivatives and Hedging Activities The Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of changes in currency exchange rates. Forward contracts are agreements with counterparty to exchange two distinct currencies at a set exchange rate for delivery on a set date at some point in the future. There is no exchange of funds until the delivery date. At the delivery date the Company can either take delivery of the currency or settle on a net basis. All outstanding forward contracts are for the sale of U.S. Dollars (USD) and the purchase of Canadian Dollars (CAD). As of June 30, 2006, the Company had forward contracts with a notional value of $30.0 million CAD (or $25.2 million U.S.), with an average exchange rate of $.84 USD per $1 CAD, resulting in the recording of a current asset and an increase in comprehensive income of $1.1 million, net of tax.
Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, except for the Companys Mexican operations whose functional currency is the U.S. Dollar, are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date while income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions, and the translation of financial statements are recorded in the Companys consolidated financial statements based upon the provisions of SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. The effects of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions and balances of a long-term investment nature are accumulated and carried as a component of shareholders equity. The effects of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions that are non U.S. dollar denominated amounts are charged or credited to earnings. Foreign exchange loss was $1.3 million and $637,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $930,000 and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as net income and all other non-owner changes in shareholders equity. The Companys accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, foreign currency hedges and pension related adjustments. Six month changes in the table below, adjust components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Total comprehensive income was:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective in the first quarter of 2007. Wabtec is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on the company.
3. ACQUISITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On February 1, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of Rütgers Rail S.p.A, a business with operations in Italy, Germany, France and Spain. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the respective assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Operating results were included in the consolidated statement of operations from the acquisition date forward. The new company formed to hold the newly purchased assets of Rütgers Rail S.p.A. is named CoFren S.r.l. (CoFren). CoFren is one of the leading manufacturers of brake shoes, disc pads and interior trim components for rail applications in Europe. The purchase price was $35.9 million, net of cash received, resulting in additional goodwill of $5.7 million.
For pro forma purposes, this acquisition would only impact the results for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as CoFren was included in its entirety for all periods beginning afterwards. The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents income statement results as if the acquisition had occurred January 1, 2005:

With the acquisition of Rutgers Rail, S.p.A., the Company decided to offer for sale a non-core product division. As part of the purchase accounting, the net amount of this division had been revalued to its estimated net realizable value and had been classified as assets held for sale, which is included in other noncurrent assets on the balance sheet.

At March 31, 2006, the sale of this division was completed for approximately $2.0 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment which is expected to be finalized with the buyer in the 3rd quarter. The assets sold primarily included transit car interior products and services for customers located in Europe. This sale resulted in a loss of approximately $740,000 subject to the working capital adjustment mentioned earlier. Also, in the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company decided to liquidate its bus door joint venture in China.
In accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the operating results of these businesses have been classified as discontinued operations for all years presented and are summarized as of December 31, as follows:

5. RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES
In the first six months of 2005, the Company recorded restructuring and asset impairment charges totaling $2.3 million related to consolidating two U.K. facilities into one, relocating a product line from Canada to the U.S., and completion of a data center migration. These charges consisted of severance costs of $593,000 for 43 employees, relocation and other costs of $469,000 and asset write-offs of $1.2 million. All but $475,000 of these costs were paid for in the first six months of 2005.
In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company recorded restructuring charges related to consolidating facilities of about $800,000. As of June 30, 2006, these costs have not been paid.
On July 19, 2006, the Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan to improve the profitability and efficiency of certain business units. As part of the plan, Wabtec will downsize two of its Canadian plants, in Stoney Creek and Wallaceburg, by moving certain products to lower-cost facilities and outsourcing. The restructuring plan will result in the recognition of $11 million of expenses, pre-tax, primarily for pension-related curtailment and settlement charges and fixed asset write downs for idled assets. These expenses will be recognized in the second half of 2006 and the first half of 2007.
6. INTANGIBLES
Goodwill on the balance sheet is $119.3 million at June 30, 2006 and $118.2 million at December 31, 2005.

Refinancing Credit Agreement
In January 2004, the Company refinanced its existing unsecured revolving credit agreement with a consortium of commercial banks. This Refinancing Credit Agreement provided a $175 million five-year revolving credit facility expiring in January 2009. In November 2005, the Company entered into an amendment to the Refinancing Credit Agreement which, among other things, extended the expiration of the agreement until

FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED)
December 2010. At June 30, 2006, the Company had available borrowing capacity, net of $23.9 million of letters of credit, of approximately $151.1 million, subject to certain financial covenant restrictions.
Refinancing Credit Agreement borrowings bear variable interest rates indexed to the indices described below. The Company did not borrow under the Refinancing Credit Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2006 or during the year ended December 31, 2005.
Under the Refinancing Credit Agreement, the Company may elect a base interest rate or an interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rates of Interest (LIBOR). The base rate is the greater of LaSalle Bank National Associations prime rate or the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% per annum. The LIBOR rate is based on LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 62.5 to 175 basis points depending on the Companys consolidated total indebtedness to cash flow ratios. The current margin is 62.5 basis points.
The Refinancing Credit Agreement limits the Companys ability to declare or pay cash dividends and prohibits the Company from declaring or making other distributions, subject to certain exceptions. The Refinancing Credit Agreement contains various other covenants and restrictions including the following limitations: incurrence of additional indebtedness; mergers, consolidations and sales of assets and acquisitions; additional liens; sale and leasebacks; permissible investments, loans and advances; certain debt payments; capital expenditures; and imposes a minimum interest expense coverage ratio and a maximum debt to cash flow ratio.
The Refinancing Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, failure of representations or warranties to be true in any material respect, covenant defaults, defaults with respect to other indebtedness of the Company, bankruptcy, certain judgments against the Company, ERISA defaults and change of control of the Company. The Refinancing Credit Agreement includes the following covenants: a minimum interest coverage ratio of three, maximum debt to cash flow ratio of 3.25 and a minimum net worth of $180 million plus 50% of consolidated net income since September 30, 2003. The Company is in compliance with these measurements and covenants.
6 7/8% Senior Notes Due August 2013
In August 2003, the Company issued $150 million of Senior Notes due in 2013 (Notes). The Notes were issued at par. Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 6.875% per annum and is payable semi-annually on January 31 and July 31 of each year. The proceeds were used to repay debt outstanding under the Companys existing credit agreement, and for general corporate purposes.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu with all existing and future senior debt and are senior to all our existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The indenture under which the Notes were issued contains covenants and restrictions which limit among other things, the following: the incurrence of indebtedness, payment of dividends and certain distributions, sale of assets, change in control, mergers and consolidations and the incurrence of liens.
On July 31, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Companys outstanding shares. The Company intends to purchase these shares on the open market or in negotiated or block trades. No time limit was set for the completion of the program which qualifies under the Refinancing Credit Agreement, as well as the 6 7/8% Senior Notes currently outstanding.

The Companys funding methods are based on governmental requirements and differ from those methods used to recognize pension expense. The Company expects to contribute $9.4 million to the pension plans during 2006 but expects that this level of funding will decrease in future periods. Rebalancing of the asset allocation occurs on a quarterly basis.
In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company has provided certain unfunded postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for a portion of North American employees. The Company is not obligated to pay health care and life insurance benefits to individuals who had retired prior to 1990.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Claims have been filed against the Company and certain of its affiliates in various jurisdictions across the United States by persons alleging bodily injury as a result of exposure to asbestos-containing products. Since 2000, the number of such claims has increased and the resolution of these claims may take a significant period of time. Most of these claims have been made against our wholly owned subsidiary, Railroad Friction Products Corporation (RFPC), and are based on a product sold by RFPC prior to the time that the Company acquired any interest in RFPC. On April 17, 2005, a claim against the Company by a former stockholder of RFPC contending that the Company assumed that entitys liability for asbestos claims arising from exposure to RFPCs product was resolved in the Companys favor.
Most of these claims, including all of the RFPC claims, are submitted to insurance carriers for defense and indemnity or to non-affiliated companies that retain the liabilities for the asbestos-containing products at issue. We cannot, however, assure that all these claims will be fully covered by insurance or that the indemnitors will remain financially viable. Our ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these claims, as is the case with other pending litigation, cannot be estimated.
It is Managements belief that the potential range of loss for asbestos-related bodily injury cases is not reasonably determinable at present for a variety of factors, including: (1) the limited asbestos case settlement history of the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, Railroad Friction Products Corporation (RFPC); (2) the unpredictable nature of personal injury litigation in general; and (3) the uncertainty of asbestos litigation in particular. Despite this uncertainty, and although the results of the Companys operations and cash flows for any given period could be adversely affected by asbestos-related lawsuits, Management believes that the final resolution of the Companys asbestos-related cases will not be material to the Companys overall financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In general, this belief is based upon: (1) Wabtecs and RFPCs limited history of settlements and dismissals of asbestos-related cases to date; (2) the inability of many plaintiffs to establish any exposure or causal relationship to RFPCs product; and (3) the inability of many plaintiffs to demonstrate any identifiable injury or compensable loss.
More specifically, as to RFPC, Managements belief that any losses due to asbestos-related cases would not be material is also based on the fact that RFPC owns insurance which provides coverage for asbestos-related bodily injury claims. To date, RFPCs insurers have provided RFPC with defense and indemnity in these actions. As to Wabtec and its divisions, Managements belief that asbestos-related cases will not have a material impact is also based on its position that it has no legal liability for asbestos-related bodily injury claims, and that the former owners of Wabtecs assets retained asbestos liabilities for the products at issue. To date, Wabtec has been able to successfully defend itself on this basis, including an arbitration decision and a judicial opinion, both of
16
WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 (UNAUDITED)
which confirmed Wabtecs position that it did not assume any asbestos liabilities from a former owner of a majority of Wabtecs assets. Although Wabtec has incurred defense and administrative costs in connection with asbestos bodily injury actions, these costs have not been material, and the company has no information that would suggest these costs would become material in the foreseeable future.
The GETS-GS litigation described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2005 was settled in April of 2006 for $3.8 million, which had been reserved for in prior years.
In April 2005, Amtrak decided to suspend its Acela Express train service due to cracks in the spokes of some of the cars brake discs. Amtraks Acela service was resumed on a limited basis in July, 2005, and complete service was resumed in September, 2005. Wabtec did not design or supply the braking system for the Acela cars. The braking system was supplied by Knorr Brake Corporation and the brake discs were designed by Faiveley Transport. Wabtec did provide and machined approximately one-third of the brake discs for the cars and assisted Amtrak and others, including Bombardier Corporation, Alstom Transportation Inc., Knorr and Faiveley, in their evaluation and investigation of the brake disc cracks.
On July 11, 2005 Wabtec received a written notice of a potential claim for damages from Knorr and on March 2, 2006 received a notice from Knorr in which Knorr stated that Amtrak is of the view that it may have warranty claims against Wabtec, Knorr, and Faiveley. Neither Knorr notice specified any amount or range of claims against the Company, although Knorr has indicated that it expects the Company to participate in any financial settlement arising from the alleged defects and failures of the Acela brake discs. Wabtec, in turn, has forwarded Knorrs notices to Faiveley and has notified Faiveley of potential claims by Wabtec against Faiveley.
Bombardier recently reported to Wabtec and Faiveley that Bombardier and Knorr have incurred approximately $48 million in costs and losses due to the suspension of Amtraks Acela service, including the cost of compensating Amtrak. In turn, Wabtec has contacted Faiveley, asserting that Faiveley is fully responsible for the claims of Bombardier and Knorr. Wabtec does not believe that it has any material legal liability with regard to this matter.
In March 2006, management began an internal investigation related to business transactions conducted by a subsidiary, Pioneer Friction Limited (Pioneer), in West Bengal, India. Through an internal compliance review, management discovered that disbursements were made which may be in violation of applicable laws and regulations. Pioneer is a fourth-tier subsidiary of Wabtec; two of the intermediate subsidiaries are Australian companies which are, in turn, owned by a U.S. holding company.
While the transactions are inconsequential and not material to the overall operations of Wabtec, they may result in potential penalties. Management has concluded its initial investigation, and has notified Wabtecs Audit Committee, Board of Directors, and the appropriate authorities of its findings so far. Wabtec has not recorded a reserve related to this matter as of June 30, 2006; because the Companys potential exposure cannot be estimated based on managements current assessment of the situation.
The Company is subject to a number of other commitments and contingencies as described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2005, filed on March 16, 2006. During the first six months of 2006, there were no material changes other than what is discussed above to the information described in Note 18 therein.

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Wabtec has two reportable segments the Freight Group and the Transit Group. The key factors used to identify these reportable segments are the organization and alignment of the Companys internal operations, the nature of the products and services, and customer type. The business segments are:
Freight Group manufactures products and provides services geared to the production and operation of freight cars and locomotives, including braking control equipment, on-board electronic components and train coupler equipment. Revenues are derived from OEM sales, aftermarket sales and freight car repairs and services.
Transit Group consists of products for passenger transit vehicles and locomotives (typically subways, commuter rail and buses) that include braking, coupling, monitoring systems, climate control and door equipment engineered to meet individual customer specifications. Revenues are derived from OEM and aftermarket sales as well as from repairs and services.
The Company evaluates its business segments operating results based on income from operations. Corporate activities include general corporate expenses, elimination of intersegment transactions, interest income and expense and other unallocated charges. Since certain administrative and other operating expenses and other items have not been allocated to business segments, the results in the following tables are not necessarily a measure computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other companies.
Beginning with the first quarter of 2006, the Company transferred certain operations from the Freight to the Transit Group to reflect a shift in the markets and customers served by those operations. For the three month period ended June 30, 2005, this reclassification increased Transit Group sales by about $25 million and income from continuing operations before income taxes by $4.4 million. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2005, this reclassification increased Transit Group sales by about $41 million, and income from continuing operations before income taxes by $5.3 million. Prior period results have been adjusted for comparability purposes.

Item 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein and Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporations Financial Statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in its 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 16, 2006.
OVERVIEW
Wabtec is one of the worlds largest providers of value-added, technology-based products and services for the global rail industry. Our products are found on virtually all U.S. locomotives, freight cars and passenger transit vehicles, as well as in more than 80 countries throughout the world. Our products enhance safety, improve productivity and reduce maintenance costs for customers, and many of our core products and services are essential in the safe and efficient operation of freight rail and passenger transit vehicles. Wabtec is a global company with operations in 11 countries. In the first half of 2006, about 32 percent of the Companys revenues came from outside the U.S.
Management Review and Outlook
Wabtecs long-term financial goals are to generate free cash flow in excess of net income, maintain a strong credit profile while minimizing our overall cost of capital, increase margins through strict attention to cost controls, and increase revenues through a focused growth strategy. In addition, management monitors the Companys short-term operational performance through measures such as quality and on-time delivery.
Freight rail industry statistics, such as carloadings and orders for new freight cars, are continuing to improve in 2006. Deliveries of new freight cars increased to 68,657 in 2005, and orders increased to 80,703. As a result, at year-end the backlog of freight cars ordered was 69,408. This trend continued in the first half of 2006, with orders climbing to 54,181, deliveries of 38,008, and a backlog of 85,692. Sales in our freight segment have benefited from that trend. Following are quarterly freight car statistics for the past three years:

In addition to this cyclical rebound in orders and rail traffic, we expect to generate future increases in sales and earnings from executing our four-point growth strategy:
| Global and Market Expansion; |
| Aftermarket Products and Services; |
| New Products and Technologies; and |
| Acquisitions. |
In 2006 and beyond, we will continue to face many challenges, including increased costs for raw materials, especially steel; higher costs for medical and insurance premiums; and foreign currency fluctuations. In addition, we face general economic risks, as well as the risk that our customers could curtail spending on new and existing equipment. Risks associated with our four-point growth strategy include the level of investment that customers are willing to make in new technologies developed by the industry and the Company, and risks inherent in global expansion. When necessary, we will modify our financial and operating strategies to reflect changes in market conditions and risks.
On July 19, 2006, the Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan to improve the profitability and efficiency of certain business units. As part of the plan, Wabtec will downsize two of its Canadian plants, in Stoney Creek and Wallaceburg, by moving certain products to lower-cost facilities and outsourcing. The restructuring plan will result in the recognition of $11 million in expenses, pre-tax, primarily for pension-related curtailment and settlement charges and fixed asset write downs for idled assets. These expenses will be recognized in the second half of 2006 and the first half of 2007.

Net sales decreased by $4.4 million to $261.9 from $266.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease is primarily related to 2005 contract sales for the renovation of air conditioning units for transit cars of about $6 million, and modules provided under a locomotive supply contract of about $5 million that were not realized in 2006. However, the Company increased sales of freight components by about $6 million due to strong freight car deliveries and demand for locomotive components. The Company did not realize any significant net sales improvement because of price increases or foreign exchange. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $21.1 million or $0.43 per diluted share. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $15.1 million or $0.32 per diluted share. This increase in net income was primarily due to improved profitability on the Companys locomotive modules contract, higher than anticipated steel and other material expenses in 2005 that management was not able to pass on to customers in the way of surcharges, offset by stock based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R).
Net sales Beginning with the first quarter of 2006, the Company transferred certain operations from the Freight to Transit Group to reflect a shift in the markets and customers served by those operations. Prior period results have been adjusted for comparability purposes. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, this
28
reclassification increased Transit Group sales by about $24 million. The following table shows the Companys net sales by business segment:

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006, decreased $4.4 million, or -1.7%, as compared to three months ended June 30, 2005. The Freight Groups increased sales of $6.3 million reflected higher sales of aftermarket parts of $4.5 million; higher demand for pneumatic air brake components related to increased deliveries of freight cars of $6.5 million; offset by a $5 million decrease in sales from a locomotive module contract. Industry deliveries of new freight cars for the second quarter of 2006 increased to 19,466 units as compared to 17,914 for the 2nd quarter 2005. As long as freight car deliveries and freight car loadings continue to increase, similar positive trends are expected to be realized by the Company. Transit Group sales were lower mostly by $10.7 million due to a contract completed in 2005 to renovate air conditioning systems for transit cars resulting in a decrease in revenue of $6 million, and $4.4 million decline in transit revenue demand while certain large transit car contracts ramp up for 2007. As transit car deliveries for certain large transit authorities begin to increase in late 2006 and 2007, sales volume is expected to increase.
Gross profit Gross profit increased to $76.7 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to $66.2 million in the same period of 2005. Gross profit is dependent on a number of factors including pricing, sales volume and product mix. In the second quarter of 2006, gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 29.3% compared to 24.9% in 2005. This increase in gross profit percentage is due to a variety of factors including improved performance of a locomotive module contract which was profitable for the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to a loss in the prior year same period. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, the locomotive module contract overall improvement was $6.2 million from the losses realized in the prior year. The remaining improvement is due to cost savings realized from sourcing raw materials from lower cost suppliers, reduced labor costs, and continuing improvements in our manufacturing processes.
The provision for warranty expense was $1.8 million higher for the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year, which negatively impacted gross profit. The most significant reason for the increase is due to specific reserves related to certain freight components and electronic products manufactured at our U.S. plants. In general, reserves, which are established based on historical claims as a percentage of revenue, were higher for locomotive manufacture and overhaul business unit. Sales have increased resulting in a higher reserve compared to prior quarter. Overall, our warranty reserve increased at June 30, 2006 compared to June 30, 2005 by $2.0 million as reserves were established before claims were paid related to specific and general provisions discussed above.

Operating expenses increased $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period of 2005. These expenses were 15.7% and 15.0% of sales for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase is due to expense recognized in connection with the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and certain other share-based compensation accruals for long-term incentive plans. Stock based compensation was $1.6 million and $474,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The primary reason for the increase in stock based compensation expense between years is the issuance of shares in 2006 under a non-vested stock plan and increased expense under a stock based incentive plan as a result of the improved performance of the Company.
Income from operations Income from operations totaled $33.5 million (or 13.6% of sales) in the second quarter of 2006 compared with $26.3 million (or 9.9% of sales) in the same period of 2005. The increase is due primarily to the improved gross margin on current period sales, offset by increased operating costs specific to the adoption of SFAS 123(R).
Interest expense, net Interest expense, net decreased 80.6% in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the same period of 2005 primarily due to the Companys overall higher cash balances and rising interest rates, resulting in higher interest income.
Other income (expense), net The Company recorded foreign exchange loss of $1.3 million and $637,000, in the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, due to the effect of currency exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions that are non U.S. dollar denominated amounts and charged or credited to earnings.
Income taxes The effective income tax rate was 35.0% and 36.4% for the second quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Net income Net income for the second quarter of 2006 increased $5.9 million, compared with the same period of 2005. The increase due primarily to the improved gross margin on current period sales, decreased interest expense, net, and lower income taxes, offset by increased operating costs specific to the adoption of SFAS 123(R).

Net sales increased by 3.2% from $508.1 million in the first six months of 2005 to $524.3 million in the same period in 2006. The increase is due to increased sales of freight components of about $38 million related to strong freight car deliveries and demand for locomotive components, which was offset by decreased contract sales compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2005, for the renovation of air conditioning units for transit cars of about $14 million, and modules provided under a locomotive supply contract of about $8 million. Net income for the first six months of 2006 was $41.2 million or $0.84 per diluted share. Net income for the same period of 2005 was $24.4 million or $0.52 per diluted share. This increase in net income was primarily due to increased sales volume, improved profitability on the Companys locomotive modules contract, offset by stock based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R).
Net sales Beginning with the first quarter of 2006, the Company transferred certain operations from the Freight to the Transit Group to reflect a shift in the markets and customers served by those operations. Prior
30
period results have been adjusted for comparability purposes. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, this reclassification increased Transit Group sales by about $41 million. The following table shows the Companys net sales by business segment:

Net sales for the first six months of 2006 increased $16.2 million, or 3.2%, as compared to the same period of 2005. The Freight Groups increased sales reflected higher sales of aftermarket parts of $5.9 million; higher demand for pneumatic air brake components related to increased deliveries of freight cars of $31.2 million; offset by a $8 million decrease in sales from a locomotive module contract. Industry deliveries of new freight cars for the first half of 2006 increased to 38,008 units as compared to 33,695 for the first half of 2005. As long as freight car deliveries and freight car loadings continue to increase, similar positive trends are expected to be realized by the Company. Transit Group sales were lower mostly due to a 2005 non-recurring contract to renovate air conditioning systems for transit cars resulting in a decrease in revenue of $14 million, and overall decline in transit revenue demand while certain large transit car contracts ramp up for 2007. As transit car deliveries for certain large transit authorities begin to increase in late 2006 and 2007, sales volume is expected to increase.
Gross profit Gross profit increased to $151.8 million for the first six months of 2006 compared to $123.2 million in the same period of 2005. Gross profit is dependent on a number of factors including pricing, sales volume and product mix. In the first half of 2006, gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was 29.0% compared to 24.2% in 2005. This increase in gross profit percentage is due to a variety of factors including improved performance of a locomotive module contract which was profitable for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to a loss in the prior year same period. The locomotive module contract overall improvement was $11 million from the losses realized in the prior year. In the first six months of 2005, the Company recorded $2.3 million in restructuring and asset impairment charges related to consolidating two U.K. facilities into one, relocating a product line from Canada to the U.S., and completion of a data center migration. The remaining improvement is due to costs savings realized from sourcing raw materials from lower cost suppliers, reduced labor costs, and continuing improvements in our manufacturing processes.
The provision for warranty expense was $2.4 million higher for the first half of 2006 compared to the same period in the prior year, which negatively impacted gross profit. The most significant reason for the increase is due to specific reserves related to certain freight components and electronic products manufactured at our U.S. plants. In general, reserves, which are established based on historical claims as a percentage of revenue, were higher for locomotive manufacture and overhaul business unit. Sales have increased resulting in a higher reserve compared to prior quarter. Overall, our warranty reserve increased at June 30, 2006 compared to June 30, 2005 by $2.0 million as reserves were established before claims were paid related to specific provisions discussed above.

Operating expenses increased $5.3 million in the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period of 2005. These expenses were 16.0% and 15.5% of sales for the first six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase is due to expense recognized in connection with the adoption of SFAS 123(R) and certain other share-based compensation accruals for long-term incentive plans. During 2005, operating expenses included an information technology asset write-off of $1.1 million. Stock based compensation was $6 million and $625,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The primary reason for the increase in stock based compensation expense between years is the issuance of shares in 2006 under a non-vested stock plan and increased expense under a stock based incentive plan as a result of the improved performance of the Company.
Income from operations Income from operations totaled $68.0 million (or 13.0% of sales) in the first six months of 2006 compared with $44.7 million (or 8.8% of sales) in the same period of 2005. The increase is due primarily to the improved gross margin on current period sales, offset by increased operating costs specific to the adoption of SFAS 123(R).
Interest expense, net Interest expense, net decreased 66.8% in the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period of 2005 primarily due to the Companys overall higher cash balances and rising interest rates, resulting in higher interest income.

Net income Net income for the first six months of 2006 increased $16.8 million, compared with the same period of 2005. The increase due primarily to the improved gross margin on current period sales, decreased interest expense, net, and lower income taxes, offset by increased operating costs specific to the adoption of SFAS 123(R).
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating activities Cash provided by operations in the first six months of 2006 was $73 million as compared to $30 million in the same period of 2005. This $43 million increase was the result of increased earnings as well as certain changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net income for the Company increased $21.8 million primarily as a result of higher gross profit with relatively stable sales levels. Cash provided by accounts receivable improved operating cash flows by $59 million, and was the result of the Company collecting large customer receivables in 2006 for certain locomotive contracts. In particular, customer deposits from certain
32
locomotive contracts accounted for the majority of the cash provided from operations. Inventory reduced operating cash flows by $15.2 million compared to the first half of 2005. This inventory increase was anticipated since it was related to the same locomotive contracts as the units to be provided are in an initial start-up phase. Accrued income taxes increased operating cash flows by $12 million due to the timing of tax payments. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities were a use of cash by about $39.6 million compared to the prior period as accounts payable and other certain liabilities were reduced based on the timing of certain payments.
Investing activities In the first six months of 2006 and 2005, cash used in investing activities was $6.0 million and $46.9 million, respectively. In 2005, The Company acquired the assets of Rütgers Rail S.p.A. for $35.6 million, net of cash received. Capital expenditures were $9.0 million and $11.5 million in the first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively. The majority of capital expenditures for these periods relates to upgrades to and replacement of existing equipment.
Financing activities In the first six months of 2006 and 2005, cash provided by financing activities was $13.1 million and $15.6 million, respectively. The cash provided in 2006 included $9.9 million of proceeds from the issuance of treasury stock for stock options and other benefit plans, offset by $970,000 of dividend payments. The cash provided in 2005 included $17.1 million of proceeds from the issuance of treasury stock for stock options and other benefit plans, offset by $932,000 of dividend payments.

Refinancing Credit Agreement
In January 2004, the Company refinanced its existing unsecured revolving credit agreement with a consortium of commercial banks. This Refinancing Credit Agreement provided a $175 million five-year revolving credit facility expiring in January 2009. In November 2005, the Company entered into an amendment to the Refinancing Credit Agreement which, among other things, extended the expiration of the agreement until December 2010. At June 30, 2006, the Company had available bank borrowing capacity, net of $23.9 million of letters of credit, of approximately $151.1 million, subject to certain financial covenant restrictions.
Refinancing Credit Agreement borrowings bear variable interest rates indexed to the indices described below. The Company did not borrow under the Refinancing Credit Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2006 or during the year ended December 31, 2005.
Under the Refinancing Credit Agreement, the Company may elect a base interest rate or an interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rates of Interest (LIBOR). The base interest rate is the greater of LaSalle Bank National Associations prime rate or the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% per annum. The LIBOR rate is based on LIBOR plus a margin that ranges from 62.5 to 175 basis points depending on the Companys consolidated total indebtedness to cash flow ratios. The current margin is 62.5 basis points.
33
The Refinancing Credit Agreement limits the Companys ability to declare or pay cash dividends and prohibits the Company from declaring or making other distributions, subject to certain exceptions. The Refinancing Credit Agreement contains various other covenants and restrictions including the following limitations: incurrence of additional indebtedness; mergers, consolidations and sales of assets and acquisitions; additional liens; sale and leasebacks; permissible investments, loans and advances; certain debt payments; capital expenditures; and imposes a minimum interest expense coverage ratio and a maximum debt to cash flow ratio.
The Refinancing Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, failure of representations or warranties to be true in any material respect, covenant defaults, defaults with respect to other indebtedness of the Company, bankruptcy, certain judgments against the Company, ERISA defaults and change of control of the Company. The Refinancing Credit Agreement includes the following covenants: a minimum interest coverage ratio of three, maximum debt to cash flow ratio of 3.25 and a minimum net worth of $180 million plus 50% of consolidated net income since September 30, 2003. The Company is in compliance with these measurements and covenants.
6 7/8% Senior Notes Due August 2013
In August 2003, the Company issued $150 million of Senior Notes due in 2013 (the Notes). The Notes were issued at par. Interest on the notes accrues at a rate of 6.875% per annum and is payable semi-annually on January 31 and July 31 of each year. The proceeds were used to repay debt outstanding under the Companys existing credit agreement, and for general corporate purposes.
The Company believes, based on current levels of operations and forecasted earnings, cash flow and liquidity will be sufficient to fund its working capital and capital equipment needs as well as to meet its debt service requirements. If the Companys sources of funds were to fail to satisfy the Companys cash requirements, the Company may need to refinance its existing debt or obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that such new financing alternatives would be available, and, in any case, such new financing, if available, would be expected to be more costly and burdensome than the debt agreements currently in place.
On July 31, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Companys outstanding shares. The Company intends to purchase these shares on the open market or in negotiated or block trades. No time limit was set for the completion of the program which qualifies under the Refinancing Credit Agreement, as well as the 6 7/8% Senior Notes currently outstanding.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the
35
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Areas of uncertainty that require judgments, estimates and assumptions include the accounting for derivatives, environmental matters, warranty reserves, the testing of goodwill and other intangibles for impairment, proceeds on assets to be sold, pensions and other postretirement benefits, and tax matters. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these judgments and estimates, and actual results will inevitably differ from those estimates and assumptions that are used to prepare the Companys financial statements at any given time. Despite these inherent limitations, management believes that Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) and the financial statements and related footnotes provide a meaningful and fair perspective of the Company. A discussion of the judgments and uncertainties associated with accounting for derivatives and environmental matters can be found in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.
On January 1, 2006, Wabtec adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which requires the company to recognize compensation expense for stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the share-based employee grants. SFAS No. 123(R) revises SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Wabtec elected the modified prospective application method for adoption, and prior periods financial statements have not been restated.
SFAS No. 123(R) requires Wabtec to recognize compensation expense for stock-based compensation ratably over the requisite service period based on the fair value of the grant. Compensation expense for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and Non-Vested Stock awards are based on fair market values determined at the date of award. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the company accounted for stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations using the intrinsic value method, which resulted in no compensation cost for options granted.
Stock based compensation was $6 million and $625,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The primary reason for the increase in stock based compensation expense between years is the issuance of shares in 2006 under a non-vested stock plan and increased expense under a stock based incentive plan as a result of the improved performance of the Company. The accounting for the non-vested stock and the stock awards under the incentive plan was not impacted significantly by the adoption of FAS 123(R). In addition, compensation expense of $593,000 was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2006 related to the expensing of stock options in accordance with FAS 123(R).
The Company uses a Black-Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options at grant date. Determining the fair value of stock options at grant date requires judgment, including estimates for the dividend yield, the average risk-free interest rate, expected volatility and expected life. The dividend yield is based on the Companys dividend rate and the current market price of the underlying common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury bond rate for the expected life of the option. Expected life in years is determined from historical stock option exercise data. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Wabtec stock. If any of these assumptions differ significantly from actual, stock-based compensation expense could be impacted.
Stock awards under the incentive plans vest upon the achievement of certain financial goals for each three year period ending at December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. We estimate that the majority of stock awards granted will vest and have recorded compensation expense accordingly. If our estimate of the number of these stock awards expected to vest changes in a future accounting period, compensation expense could be reduced and will be recognized over the remaining vesting period.

A summary of the Companys significant accounting policies is included in Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report. Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables the Company to provide the users of the financial statements with useful and reliable information about the Companys operating results and financial condition.
Description |
Judgments and Uncertainties |
Effect if Actual Results Differ From Assumptions | ||
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: | ||||
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts to cover anticipated losses on uncollectible accounts receivable. | The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in our receivable portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available evidence. | If our estimates regarding the collectibility of troubled accounts, and/or our actual losses within our receivable portfolio exceed our historical experience, we may be exposed to the expense of increasing our allowance for doubtful accounts. | ||
Inventories: | ||||
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. | Cost is determined under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory costs include material, labor and overhead. | If the market value of our products were to decrease due to changing market conditions, the Company could be at risk of incurring the cost of additional reserves to adjust inventory value to a market value lower than stated cost. | ||
Inventory is reviewed to ensure that an adequate provision is recognized for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventories. | The Company compares inventory components to prior year sales history and current backlog and anticipated future requirements. To the extent that inventory parts exceed estimated usage and demand, a reserve is recognized to reduce the carrying value of inventory. Also, specific reserves are established for known inventory obsolescence. | If our estimates regarding sales and backlog requirements are inaccurate, we may be exposed to the expense of increasing our reserves for slow moving and obsolete inventory. |

Judgments and Uncertainties |
Effect if Actual Results Differ From Assumptions | ||
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangibles: | ||||
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are required to be tested for impairment at least annually. The evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of the business to the recorded value (including goodwill). | We use a combination of a guideline public company market approach and a discounted cash flow model (DCF model) to determine the current fair value of the business. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF model to forecast operating cash flows, including markets and market share, sales volume and pricing, costs to produce and working capital changes. | Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of its business are estimated. However, actual amounts realized may differ from those used to evaluate the impairment of goodwill.
If actual results are not | ||
Warranty Reserves: | ||||
The Company provides warranty reserves to cover expected costs from repairing or replacing products with durability, quality or workmanship issues occurring during established warranty periods. | In general, reserves are provided for as a percentage of sales, based on historical experience. In addition, specific reserves are established for known warranty issues and their estimable losses. | If actual results are not consistent with the assumptions and judgments used to calculate our warranty liability, the Company may be at risk of realizing material gains or losses. | ||
Accounting for Pensions and Postretirement Benefits: | ||||
These amounts are determined using actuarial methodologies and incorporate significant assumptions, including the rate used to discount the future estimated liability, the long-term rate of return on plan assets and several assumptions relating to the employee workforce (salary increases, medical costs, retirement age and mortality). | Significant judgments and estimates are used in determining the liabilities and expenses for pensions and other postretirement benefits.
The rate used to discount future estimated liabilities is determined considering the rates available at year-end on debt instruments that could be used to settle the obligations of the plan. The long-term rate of return is estimated by considering historical returns and expected returns on current and projected asset allocations and is generally applied to a five-year average market value of assets. |
If assumptions used in determining the pension and other postretirement benefits change significantly, these costs can fluctuate materially from period to period. |

Income Taxes: | ||||
As a global company, Wabtec records an estimated liability or benefit for income and other taxes based on what it determines will likely be paid in various tax jurisdictions in which it operates. | The estimate of our tax obligations are uncertain because management must use judgment to estimate the exposures associated with our various filing positions. | Management uses its best judgment in the determination of these amounts. However, the liabilities ultimately realized and paid are dependent on various matters including the resolution of the tax audits in the various affected tax jurisdictions and may differ from the amounts recorded.

Revenue Recognition: | ||||
Revenue is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletins (SABs) 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements and 104 Revision of Topic 13. | Revenue is recognized when products have been shipped to the respective customers, title has passed and the price for the product has been determined. | Should market conditions and customer demands dictate changes to our standard shipping terms, the Company may be impacted by longer than typical revenue recognition cycles. | ||
The Company recognizes revenues on long-term contracts based on the percentage of completion method of accounting. The units-of-delivery method or other measures, as appropriate, are used to measure the progress toward completion of individual contracts. Contract revenues and cost estimates are reviewed and revised at a minimum quarterly and adjustments are reflected in the accounting period as such amounts are determined. | For long-term contracts, revenues and cost estimates are reviewed and revised at a minimum quarterly and adjustments are reflected in the accounting period as such amounts are determined. | Provisions are made currently for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts. | ||
Certain pre-production costs relating to long term production and supply contracts have been deferred and will be recognized over the life of the contracts. | Pre-production costs are recognized over the expected life of the contract usually based on the Companys progress toward the estimated number of units expected to be delivered under the production or supply contract. | A charge to expense for unrecognized portions of pre- production costs could be realized if the Companys estimate of the number of units to be delivered changes or the underlying contract is cancelled. |

Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Interest Rate Risk
In the ordinary course of business, Wabtec is exposed to risks that increases in interest rates may adversely affect funding costs associated with its variable-rate debt. There was no outstanding variable-rate debt at June 30, 2006.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The Company occasionally enters into several types of financial instruments for the purpose of managing its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in countries in which the Company has significant operations. As of June 30, 2006, we had several such instruments outstanding to hedge currency rate fluctuation in 2006.
The Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the impact of changes in currency exchange rates. Forward contracts are agreements with a counterparty to exchange two distinct currencies at a set exchange rate for delivery on a set date at some point in the future. There is no exchange of funds until the delivery date. At the delivery date we can either take delivery of the currency or settle on a net basis. All outstanding forward contracts and option agreements are for the sale of U.S. Dollars (USD) and the purchase of Canadian Dollars (CAD). As of June 30, 2006, the Company has forward contracts with a notional value of $30.0 million CAD (or $25.2 million U.S.), with an average exchange rate of $0.84 USD per $1 CAD, resulting in the recording of a current asset and an increase in comprehensive income of $1.1 million, net of tax.
Wabtec is also subject to certain risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates to the extent its operations are conducted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For the first six months of 2006, approximately 67% of Wabtecs net sales are in the United States, 12% in Canada, 2% in Mexico, and 19% in other international locations, primarily Europe.
Item 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Wabtecs principal executive officer and its principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of Wabtecs disclosure controls and procedures, (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of June 30, 2006. Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that Wabtecs disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Wabtec in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Wabtec in such reports is accumulated and communicated to Wabtecs management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There was no change in Wabtecs internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2006, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Wabtecs internal control over financial reporting.
