WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 (UNAUDITED)
1. BUSINESS
Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation (the "Company", "Wabtec") is
North America's largest manufacturer of value-added equipment for locomotives,
railway freight cars and passenger transit vehicles. Our major products are
intended to enhance safety, improve productivity and reduce maintenance costs
for our customers and include electronic controls and monitors, air brakes,
traction motors, cooling equipment, turbochargers, low-horsepower locomotives,
couplers, door controls, draft gears and brake shoes. The Company aggressively
pursues technological advances with respect to both new product development and
product enhancements.
The Company has two reporting segments: Freight Group and Transit Group.
Although approximately 60% of the Company's sales are to the aftermarket, a
significant portion of the Freight Group's operations and revenue base is
generally dependent on the capital replacement cycles for locomotives and
freight cars of the large North American-based railroad companies. The Transit
Group's operations are dependent on the budgeting and expenditure appropriation
process of federal, state and local governmental units for mass transit needs
established by public policy.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and include the accounts of Wabtec and its majority owned
subsidiaries. These condensed interim financial statements do not include all of
the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In
management's opinion, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, which
are of a normal, recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the interim periods presented. Results for these interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified, where necessary, to conform to the
current period presentation.
The Company operates on a four-four-five week accounting quarter, and
accordingly, the quarters end on or about March 31, June 30, September 30 and
December 31.
The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements included in Wabtec's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenue is recognized when products have been shipped to the
respective customers and the price for the product has been determined.
The Company recognizes revenues on long-term contracts based on the percentage
of completion method of accounting. Contract revenues and cost estimates are
reviewed and revised at a minimum quarterly and adjustments are reflected in the
accounting period as known. Provisions are made currently for estimated losses
on uncompleted contracts.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings ("underbillings") and
billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings ("overbillings") on the
contract in progress are recorded on the balance sheet and are classified as
non-current .
USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the
estimates.
OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income is defined as net income and all
nonowner changes in shareholders' equity. The Company's accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) consists entirely of foreign currency translation
adjustments. Total comprehensive income for the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $2.9 million and $16.9 million, and $24.3
million and $44.6 million, respectively.
3. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
On November 19, 1999, Westinghouse Air Brake Company (WABCO) merged with
MotivePower Industries, Inc. (MotivePower) to form Wabtec. The Company issued
approximately 18 million shares of the Company's Common Stock to former
MotivePower shareholders and reserved approximately 2 million shares for the
contingent exercise of stock options. The transaction was accounted for by the
pooling-of-interests accounting method. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated
financial statements have been restated giving effect to this transaction as if
it had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented.
The combined results of the Company and separate results of WABCO and
MotivePower for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999 were as
follows:

privately held designer of high voltage electrical cabinets and control
stands for locomotives, for total consideration of $17.8 million.
ii) In January 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the Common Stock of Q-Tron,
Ltd., a privately held designer and manufacturer of locomotive electronics
equipment, for total consideration of $14.9 million.
iii) In February 1999, the Company acquired the mass transit electrical inverter
and converter product line of AGC System & Technologies, Inc. of Canada for
approximately $960,000.
The 1999 acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method. Accordingly,
the results of operations of the applicable acquisition are included in the
Company's financial statements prospectively from the acquisition date.
4. 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. Cores inventory is defined as inventory units designated for unit
exchange programs. The components of inventory, net of reserves, were:

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to a RCRA Part B Closure Permit ("the Permit") issued by
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Idaho Department of Health and
Welfare, Division of Environmental Quality relating to the monitoring and
treatment of groundwater contamination on, and adjacent to, the MotivePower
Company facility. In compliance with the Permit, the Company has drilled wells
onsite to retrieve and treat contaminated groundwater, and onsite and offsite to
monitor the amount of hazardous constituents. The Company has estimated the
expected aggregate discounted liability at June 30, 2000, using a discount rate
of 6% for remediation costs to be approximately $4 million, which has been
accrued. The Company was in compliance with the Permit at June 30, 2000.
On February 12, 1999, GE Harris Railway Electronics, LLC and GE Harris Railway
Electronic Services, LLC (collectively, "GE Harris") brought suit against the
Company for alleged patent infringement and unfair competition related to a
communications system installed in one of the Company's products. GE Harris is
seeking to prohibit the Company from future infringement and is seeking an
unspecified amount of money damages to recover, in part, royalties. As this
lawsuit is in the discovery stages, the Company is unable to estimate the cost,
if any, of resolving litigation and thus, no costs have been provided for. The
Company's insurance carrier has agreed to defend and reimburse a portion of the
costs of defending this matter.
7. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN TERMINATION
The Westinghouse Air Brake Company Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust
(ESOP) terminated August 1, 2000. Cash contributions will be made to the
Company's existing defined contribution 401(k) plan as opposed to Company Common
Stock previously under the ESOP. In connection with the termination of the ESOP,
the Company anticipates making additional discretionary cash contributions to
former ESOP participants over the next three years, which the Company estimates
the costs to be $2 million in each of the years and incurring a non-cash charge
for the write-off of the related deferred tax asset.
8. 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 Company's internal operations, the nature of the products
and services, and customer type. Financial information for these segments has
been restated in conjunction with the operational realignment of our
organization pursuant to the merger of WABCO and MotivePower. 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, engines, traction motors, on-board electronic components and
train coupler equipment. Revenues are derived from aftermarket and OEM component
sales, locomotive overhauls and from freight car repairs and services.
TRANSIT GROUP consists of products for passenger transit vehicles (typically
subways, rail and buses) that include braking, monitoring, climate control and
door equipment engineered to meet individual customer specifications. Revenues
are derived from OEM component sales and aftermarket sales as well as from
repairs and services.
The Company evaluates its business segments' operating results based on income
from operations before merger and restructuring charges. 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.
Segment financial information for the three months ended June 30, 2000 is as

9. MERGER AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
The Company estimates the charges to complete its merger and restructuring plan
will now total $75 million pre-tax, with approximately $58 million of the charge
previously expensed. The Company incurred additional merger and
restructuring-related charges of approximately $7.9 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2000 and expects to incur an additional $17 million of merger and
restructuring-related expenses later in 2000.
The $7.9 million charge included the following actions:
o Plant closings and plant relocation costs.
o Employee severance and relocation payments related to closing certain plants
and consolidating others.
In the six month period ended June 30, 2000, the Company has expended
approximately $10.3 million for merger and restructuring activities comprising
of the $7.9 million current year charge and $2.4 million for payments made on
the remaining 1999 accrual further discussed below.

As of June 30, 2000, $6.3 million of the $50 million merger and
restructuring-related charge incurred in 1999 remained accrued on the balance
sheet. The table below identifies the significant components of the accrual:

MANAGEMENT'S 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 Corporation's Financial
Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations included in its 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K .
OVERVIEW
Net income for the first six months of 2000 was $24.4 million, or $.56 per
diluted share, as compared to $42.2 million, or $.95 per diluted share in the
same period of 1999. The results for the first six months of 2000 include a $7.9
million merger and restructuring charge and a $4.4 million gain on the
disposition of a product line. Without the effect of the items aforementioned,
net income would have been $26.7 million or $0.61 per diluted share. Net sales
decreased 14% in the first six months of 2000 as compared to the same period in
1999. Operating margins in the first six months of 2000 decreased to 10.8% as
compared to 15.2% in the first six months of 1999. After excluding the merger
and restructuring charges that affect operating income, operating margins in the
first six months of 2000 would have been 12.4%.
MERGER AND RESTRUCTURING PLAN
The Company previously announced a merger and restructuring plan pursuant to the
merger of the Company and MotivePower Industries, Inc., which is anticipated to
yield synergies of $20 million pre-tax in 2000 and produce an ongoing annualized
benefit of $25 million pre-tax, by year-end 2000. The Company expects the
benefits to be realized through reduced cost of sales and reduced selling,
general and administrative expenses. The merger and restructuring plan involves
the elimination of duplicate facilities and excess capacity, operational
realignment and related workforce reductions, and the evaluation of certain
assets as to their perceived ongoing benefit to the Company. The Company
estimates the charges to complete the merger and restructuring plan will now
total $75 million pre-tax, due to an acceleration of the plan, with
approximately $58 million of the charge previously expensed. Of the $17 million
charge left to be incurred, the Company expects the remaining charge to occur in
the third and fourth quarter of 2000.
The accrual on the balance sheet is discussed in greater detail in Note 9 to
"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" included in this report.
SECOND QUARTER 2000 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 1999
The following table sets forth the Company's net sales by business segment:
THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30
----------------------------
In thousands 2000 1999
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Freight Group $180,678 $231,159
Transit Group 68,486 61,485
----------------------------
Net sales $249,164 $292,644
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the second quarter of 2000 decreased $43.5 million, or 14.9%, to
$249.2 million. This decrease was attributable to decreased OEM freight car and
locomotive component sales volumes and lower locomotive overhauls, both within
the Freight Group. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher Transit
Group sales. Sales volumes within the Freight Group reflect a softening OEM
market for freight cars, with 14,179 freight cars delivered in the second
quarter of 2000 compared to 18,882 in the same period of 1999. In 2000, the
Company expects the OEM freight car and locomotive industries to deliver
approximately 50,000 and 1,100 new freight cars and locomotives, respectively.
Gross profit decreased to $67.3 million in the second quarter of 2000 compared
to $91 million in the same period of 1999. Gross margin is dependent on a number
of factors including sales volume and product mix. Gross margin, as a percentage
of sales, was 27% compared to 31.1% in 1999. Overall, this decrease is primarily
attributed to the effect of the decrease in sales volumes totaling approximately
$17 million. The balance is a result of changes to sales mix primarily from
increased sales of Transit Group products at lower margins as compared to the
Company's historical results and manufacturing inefficiencies principally
related to merger integration efforts.
Total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 18% in the second
quarter of 2000 and 15.2% in the same period a year ago. After excluding the
second quarter 2000 $5.6 million merger and restructuring charge, operating
expenses would have been 15.8% of net sales. Total operating expenses remained
virtually the same, or without the merger and restructuring charge, decreased by
$5.3 million in the comparison. This reduction was primarily due to continuing
cost reduction programs and synergies from the merger.
Operating income totaled $22.3 million (or 8.9% of sales) in the second quarter
of 2000 compared with $46.4 million (or 15.9%) in the same period of 1999. After
excluding the merger and restructuring charges that affect operating income,
operating income would have been $27.9 million (or 11.2% of sales). Lower
operating income resulted from decreased sales volumes in the Freight Group and
overall changes to product
11
<PAGE> 12
mix. (See Note 8 - "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements"
regarding segment-specific information, included elsewhere in this report).
Other income of approximately $1 million was recorded in the second quarter of
2000 representing a foreign exchange gain as compared to a $31,000 loss in the
prior year period.
SIX MONTH PERIOD OF 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTH PERIOD OF 1999
A number of events have occurred over the comparative period that impacted the
Company's results of operations and financial condition including:
o Expected decreases in component sales due to a slowdown in U.S. freight car
and locomotive deliveries, and a downturn in the locomotive overhauling
market.
o Improved sales and backlog in the transit business due to increased
governmental spending for transit equipment.
The following table sets forth the Company's net sales by business segment:

Transit Group 133,297 116,347

Net sales $508,023 $591,122
------------------------------------ ------------- --------------
Net sales for the first six months of 2000 decreased $83 million, or 14.1%, to
$508 million. This decrease was attributable to decreased OEM freight car and
locomotive component sales volumes and lower locomotive overhauls, both within
the Freight Group. Partially offsetting these decreases were higher Transit
Group sales. Sales volumes within the Freight Group reflect a softening OEM
market for freight cars, with 31,046 freight cars delivered in the first six
months of 2000 compared to 40,442 in the same period of 1999. In 2000, the
Company expects the OEM freight car and locomotive industries to deliver
approximately 50,000 and 1,100 new freight cars and locomotives, respectively.
Gross profit decreased to $143.8 million in the first six months of 2000
compared to $180.1 million in the same period of 1999. Gross margin, as a
percentage of sales, was 28.3% compared to 30.5% in 1999. Gross margin is
dependent on a number of factors including sales volume and product mix.
Favorable sales volumes in the Transit Group were offset by decreases in volumes
within the Freight Group. Overall, this decrease is attributed to the affect of
a decrease in sales volumes totaling approximately $33 million with the balance
a result of changes to sales mix primarily from increased sales of Transit Group
products at lower margins as compared to the Company's historical results.
Total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 17.5% in the first
six months of 2000 as compared to 15.2% in the same period a year ago. After
excluding the six month period of 2000 merger and restructuring charges of $7.9
million, operating expenses would have been 15.9% of net sales. Total operating
expenses decreased $1.3 million, or $9.2 million without the merger and
restructuring charge, in the comparison. This reduction was primarily due to
continuing cost reduction programs and synergies from the merger.
Operating income totaled $55.1 million (or 10.8% of sales) in the first six
months of 2000 compared with $90.1 million (or 15.2% of sales) in the same
period of 1999. After excluding the merger and restructuring charges that effect
operating income, operating income would have been $63 million (or 12.4% of
sales). Lower operating income resulted from decreased sales volumes in the
Freight Group and overall changes to product mix. (See Note 8 - "Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" regarding segment-specific
information, included elsewhere in this report).
In February 2000, the Company disposed of a product line for $5.5 million in
cash and recognized a gain of $4.4 million, which is reported as other income.
In the first six months of 2000, the effective tax rate improved to an annual
rate of 36% from 36.7% a year ago, primarily from additional benefits through
our Foreign Sales Corporation.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is provided primarily by operating cash flow and borrowings under the
Company's credit facilities with a consortium of commercial banks ("credit
agreement"). The following is a summary of selected cash flow information and
other relevant data.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Operating cash flow in the first six months of 2000 was $21.3 million compared
to $44.6 million in the same period a year ago. Working capital increased 11%
since December 31, 1999, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and
inventories. During the first six months of 2000, cash outlays for merger and
restructuring activities were approximately $10.3 million and are reported as a
reduction to cash provided by operating activities. Excluding these cash
outlays, cash provided by operating activities would have been approximately
$31.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the merger and restructuring charge,
was $84.6 million in the first six months of 2000 as compared to $110.5 million
in the same period in 1999.
Cash used for investing activities declined in the first six months of 2000 to
$6.5 million from $51.8 million a year ago. In the first six months of 2000,
cash received from the sale of a product line was $5.5 million. In the first six
months of 1999, $32.2 million was used for certain business acquisitions.
Capital expenditures were $12 million and $18 million in the first six months of
2000 and 1999, respectively. The majority of capital expenditures for these
periods relates to upgrades to existing equipment, replacement of existing
equipment and purchases of new equipment due to expansion of Wabtec's
operations, where the Company believes overall cost savings can be achieved
through increasing efficiencies. The Company expects 2000 capital expenditures
for equipment purchased for similar purposes to approximate $30 million to $35
million.
Cash used for financing activities was $9.1 million in the first six months of
2000 versus cash provided by financing activities of $10.4 million in the same
period a year ago. In the first six months of 2000, the Company reduced
long-term debt by approximately $7.4 million. The Company issued $75 million of
senior notes in the first quarter of 1999 to repay amounts outstanding on
certain unsecured bank term debt and repaid a portion of the Company's previous
revolving credit facility. Historically, the Company has financed the purchase
of significant businesses utilizing the amounts available under its credit
facilities.
The Company estimates the charges to complete the merger and restructuring plan
will total $75 million pre-tax with approximately $58 million of the charge
expensed to date.
The Company has recently adopted a plan by which it may purchase up to $75
million of Company Common Stock through open market purchases, utilizing
primarily cash generated from operations and equity forward contracts.
Based on anticipated cash flow provided by operations, forecasted results and
credit available under the credit agreement, the Company believes it will be
able to make planned capital expenditures and required debt payments over the
next twelve months.
The following table sets forth the Company's outstanding indebtedness and
average interest rates at June 30, 2000. The revolving credit note and other

Credit Agreement
In November 1999, in connection with the merger, WABCO terminated its then
existing credit agreement and refinanced the then existing MotivePower credit
agreement with a consortium of commercial banks. This unsecured credit agreement
provides for a $275 million five-year revolving credit facility and a 364-day
$275 million convertible revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2000, the
Company had available borrowing capacity, net of letters of credit, of
approximately $147 million.
9 3/8% Senior Notes Due June 2005
In June 1995, the Company issued $100 million of 9.375% Senior Notes due in 2005
(the "1995 Notes"). In January 1999, the Company issued an additional $75
million of 9.375% Senior Notes which are due in 2005 (the "1999 Notes"; the 1995
Notes and the 1999 Notes are collectively, the "Notes"). The 1999 Notes were
issued at a premium resulting in an effective rate of 8.5%. The terms of the
1995 Notes and the 1999 Notes are substantially the same, and the 1995 Notes and
the 1999 Notes were issued pursuant to indentures that are substantially
13
<PAGE> 14
the same. The issuance of the 1999 Notes improved the Company's financial
liquidity by i) using a portion of the proceeds to repay a short-term, $30
million loan associated with the Rockwell acquisition that bore interest at
9.56%; ii) using a portion of the proceeds to repay variable-rate revolving
credit borrowings thereby increasing amounts available under the revolving
credit facility; and iii) repaying the remaining unpaid principal of $10.2
million from the Comet acquisition. As a result of this issuance, the Company
wrote off previously capitalized debt issuance costs of $469,000, net of tax, or
approximately $.01 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 1999.
Pulse Note
As partial payment for the Pulse acquisition, the Company issued a $17 million
note due January 31, 2004, with interest in 1999 at 9.5%. In January 2000, this
note was repaid.
Principal repayments of outstanding loan balances are due at various intervals
until maturity.
Management believes, based upon current levels of operations and forecasted
earnings, that cash flow from operations, together with borrowings under the
credit agreement, will be adequate to make payments of principal and interest on
debt, including the Notes, to permit anticipated capital expenditures, and to
fund working capital requirements and other cash needs for the foreseeable
future, including 2001. The increase in financial liquidity was primarily the
result of changing the base available for borrowing under the November 1999
refinanced credit agreement. The issuance of the 1999 Notes also increased the
Company's liquidity by reducing its outstanding revolving credit borrowings and
thereby increasing its available borrowing capacity.
Nevertheless, the Company will remain leveraged to a significant extent and its
debt service obligations will continue to be substantial. The debt of the
Company requires the dedication of a substantial portion of future cash flows to
the payment of principal and interest on indebtedness, thereby reducing funds
available for capital expenditures and future business opportunities that the
Company believes are available. The Company believes cash flow and liquidity
will be sufficient to meet its debt service requirements. If the Company's
sources of funds were to fail to satisfy the Company's 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.

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 $269.7 million of variable-rate debt (considering the effects of
existing interest rate swaps), which represents 48% of total long-term debt at
June 30, 2000. The Company has recently entered into several new interest rate
swap agreements which combined together with previously existing swaps,
currently total $110 million in notional value. At June 30, 2000, an
instantaneous 100 basis point increase in interest rates would reduce the
Company's net income annually by approximately $1.7 million, net of tax,
assuming no additional intervention strategies by management.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RISK The Company periodically 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, 2000, the Company had no material
instruments outstanding.
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 2000, approximately 73%
of net sales are in the United States, 11% in Canada, 5% in Mexico and 11% in
other international locations, primarily Europe. At June 30, 2000, the Company
does not believe changes in foreign currency exchanges rates represent a
material risk to results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
There were no significant changes to report regarding the Company's legal
proceedings and commitments and contingencies.
SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
