WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 (UNAUDITED)
1. BUSINESS
Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation (the "Company", "Wabtec") is one
of North America's largest providers of value-added, technology-based equipment
and services for the rail industry. 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 58% 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, 2000.
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 if estimated losses on
uncompleted contracts are projected.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings ("contract underbillings")
and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings ("contract overbillings")
on a 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.
FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES AND HEDGES ACTIVITY The Company has adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, and as amended by SFAS 138,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" effective January
1, 2001. In the application, the Company has concluded its interest rate swap
contracts qualify for "special cash flow hedge accounting" which permit
recording the fair value of the swap and corresponding adjustment to other
comprehensive income on the balance sheet while creating some volatility in
future earnings, due to market sensitivity and ineffectiveness in offsetting
changes in interest rates of the Company's variable rate borrowings.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
Under its provisions, all goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite
lives will no longer be routinely amortized under a straight-line basis of
estimated useful life. Instead, they will be subject to assessments for
impairment by applying a fair-value-based test. SFAS No. 142 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company has not completed
the process of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting it.
6
7
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations," which establishes new accounting and reporting
standards for business combinations. The Company has not completed the process
of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting it.
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 of foreign currency translation adjustments
and cumulative adjustment relating to the fair value of cash flow hedge
derivatives. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 133, the company's accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) consisted solely of foreign currency translation
adjustments. Total comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June
30 was:

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under the terms of the purchase agreement and related documents for the 1990
Acquisition, American Standard, Inc. ("ASI"), has indemnified the Company for
certain items including, among others, environmental claims. The indemnification
provisions of the agreement expired at various dates through 2000, except for
those claims, which were timely asserted, which continue until resolved. If ASI
was unable to honor or meet these indemnifications, the Company would be
7
8
responsible for such items. In the opinion of management, ASI currently has the
ability to meet its indemnification obligations.
The Company's operations do not use and its products do not contain any
asbestos. Asbestos actions have been filed against the Company and certain of
its affiliates. These cases involve products manufactured prior to the time the
Company was formed. The Company has not incurred any significant costs related
to these asbestos claims as the claims are indemnified or the liabilities are
retained by the companies who manufactured the products in question or the
claims are covered by insurance. Management believes that these claims will not
be material; and accordingly, the financial statements do not reflect any costs
or reserves for such claims.
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,
2000. During the second quarter, there were no material changes to the
information described in Note 15 therein.
Also, as described in Note 15 of the Form 10-K, 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 Boise Locomotive Company facility. In
compliance with the Permit, the Company has completed the first phase of an
accelerated plan for the treatment of contaminated groundwater, and continues
onsite and offsite monitoring for the amount of hazardous constituents. At June
30, 2001, the Company has accrued $2 million representing the estimated
remaining costs for remediation. The Company was in compliance with the Permit
at June 30, 2001.
6. 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. 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 OEM sales and locomotive
overhauls, aftermarket sales and from freight car repairs and services.
TRANSIT GROUP consists of products for passenger transit vehicles (typically
subways, rail and buses) that include braking and monitoring systems, climate
control and door equipment that are 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 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.

7. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
The Company previously announced a merger and restructuring plan pursuant to the
merger of the Company and MotivePower Industries, Inc. ("the merger"). The
Company estimates synergies from the plan yielded approximately $20 million of
pre-tax cost savings in 2000 and reached an ongoing annualized savings of $25
million pre-tax, with such benefits 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 $84 million pre-tax, due to an acceleration
and refinement of the plan, with approximately $50 million of the charge
previously expensed in 1999 and $29 million in 2000. The Company expects to
incur $5 million in 2001, of which $3 million has been incurred through June 30.
The $82 million charge to date included the following announced actions:
o Costs associated with the transaction for items such as investment
bankers, legal fees, accountant fees, SEC fees, etc.
o Consolidation of the corporate headquarters to Wilmerding, PA and the
elimination of duplicate corporate functions.
o Closing and moving of Young Radiator's Centerville, IA plant and
consolidating the Young administrative offices into the Company's
Jackson, TN facility from Racine, WI.
o Closing and relocation of several production operations to San Luis
Potosi, Mexico.
o Closing and relocation of several additional manufacturing operations.
o Eliminating duplicate sales functions.
As of June 30, 2001, $4.3 million of the merger and restructuring charge was
still remaining as accrued on the balance sheet. The table below identifies the
significant components of the charge and reflects the accrual balance at that
date.

The lease impairment charges and asset writedowns are associated with the
Company's closing of the plants noted, the relocation of the corporate
headquarters, and the Company's evaluation of certain assets where projected
cash flows from such assets over their remaining lives are estimated to be less
than their carrying values. The other category represents other related costs
that have been incurred and not yet paid as of June 30, 2001.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On July 25, 2001, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell certain
assets to GE Transportation Systems for $240 million in cash. The assets to be
sold primarily include locomotive aftermarket products and services for which
Wabtec is not the original equipment manufacturer. The transaction is expected
to close at the end of the third quarter, subject to regulatory approvals.

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 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
OVERVIEW
Net income for the first six months of 2001 was $18.3 million, or $0.42 per
diluted share, as compared to $24.4 million, or $0.56 per diluted share in the
same period in 2000. The results for the first six months of 2001 include a $2.7
million restructuring-related charge. The results for the same period in 2000
include a $7.9 million restructuring-related charge and a $4.4 million gain on
the disposition of a product line. Without the effect of the aforementioned
items, net income for the first six months of 2001 would have been $20.1 million
or $0.47 per diluted share as compared to $26.7 million or $0.61 per diluted
share in the same period in 2000. Net sales were flat in the first six months of
2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. Operating margins for the first six
months of 2001 decreased to 9.8% as compared to 10.8% in the same period in
2000. After excluding the restructuring-related charges that affect operating
income, operating margins in the first six months of 2001 would have been 10.4%
compared to 12.4% in the same period in 2000.
MERGER AND RESTRUCTURING PLAN
The Company previously announced a merger and restructuring plan pursuant to the
merger of the Company and MotivePower Industries, Inc. ("the merger"). The
Company estimates synergies from the plan yielded approximately an ongoing
annualized savings of $25 million pre-tax, with such benefits 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 $84 million pre-tax, $82 million incurred
through the end of the second quarter 2001 with the remaining charge of $2
million to be incurred in 2001.
The accrual on the balance sheet is discussed in greater detail in Note 7 to
"Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" included in this report.
SECOND QUARTER 2001 COMPARED TO SECOND QUARTER 2000
The following table sets forth the Company's net sales by business segment:
THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30
----------------------------
In thousands 2001 2000
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Freight Group $167,919 $180,678
Transit Group 73,750 68,486
----------------------------
Net sales $241,669 $249,164
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the second quarter of 2001 decreased $7.5 million, or 3%, to
$241.7 million as compared to the prior year period. This decrease was
attributable to lower Freight Group sales, reflecting lower OEM freight car and
locomotive component sales volumes and lower locomotive overhauls, partially
offset by higher continued significant shipments of product under the MTA
contract in the Transit Group. Sales volumes within the Freight Group reflect a
softening OEM market for freight cars, with approximately 9,000 freight cars
delivered in the second quarter of 2001 compared with 14,179 in the same period
in 2000.
Gross profit decreased to $62.3 million in the second quarter of 2001 compared
to $67.3 million in the same period of 2000. Gross profit is dependent on a
number of factors including pricing, sales volume and product mix. Gross profit,
as a percentage of sales, was 25.8% compared to 27% in the same period of 2000.
The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributed to the effect of a decrease
in sales volumes of OEM freight car components.
Total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 16.8% in the second
quarter of 2001 and 18% in the same period a year ago. After excluding
restructuring charges of $1.5 million and $5.6 million in the second quarter of
2001 and 2000, operating expenses would have been $39.1 million and $39.3
million, respectively. This change, excluding restructuring charges, is due to
higher engineering and amortization expense offset by lower sales, general and
administrative expenses.
Operating income totaled $21.7 million (or 9% of sales) in the second quarter of
2001 compared with $22.3 million (or 9% of sales) in the same period in 2000.
After excluding the restructuring-related charges that affect operating income
in both periods, operating income would have been $23.2 million (or 9.6% of
sales) and $27.9 million (or 11.2% of sales). Lower operating income resulted
from decreased sales volumes of OEM freight car components in the Freight Group
and overall changes to product mix. (See Note 6 - "Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements" regarding segment-specific information,
included elsewhere in this report).
SIX MONTH PERIOD OF 2001 COMPARED TO SIX MONTH PERIOD OF 2000
The following table sets forth the Company's net sales by business segment:

Transit Group 149,460 133,297
----------------------------
Net sales $508,213 $508,023
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales for the first six months of 2001 increased $0.2 million to $508.2
million as compared to the prior year period. This increase was attributable to
higher Transit Group sales, reflecting continued significant shipments of
product under the MTA contract, offset by lower OEM freight car and locomotive
component sales volumes and lower locomotive overhauls, both in the Freight
Group. Sales volumes within the Freight Group reflect a softening OEM market for
freight cars by 35%, with approximately 20,100 freight cars delivered in the
first six months of 2001 compared with 31,046 in the same period in 2000.
Gross profit decreased to $133.3 million in the first six months of 2001
compared to $143.8 million in the same period of 2000. Gross profit is dependent
on a number of factors including pricing, sales volume and product mix. Gross
profit, as a percentage of sales, was 26.2% compared to 28.3% in the same period
of 2000. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributed to the effect of a
decrease in sales volumes of OEM freight car components.
Total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 16.4% in the first
six months of 2001 and 17.5% in the same period a year ago. After excluding
restructuring charges of $2.7 million and $7.9 million in the first six months
of 2001 and 2000, operating expenses would have been $80.6 million and $80.7
million, respectively.
Operating income totaled $49.9 million (or 9.8% of sales) in the first six
months of 2001 compared with $55.1 million (or 10.8% of sales) in the same
period in 2000. After excluding the restructuring-related charges that affect
operating income in both periods, operating income would have been $52.6 million
(or 10.4% of sales) and $63 million (or 12.4% of sales). Lower operating income
resulted from decreased sales volumes of OEM freight car components in the
Freight Group and overall changes to product mix. (See Note 6 - "Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" regarding segment-specific
information, included elsewhere in this report).
In June 2001, the Company acquired a repair billings systems company for the
rail industry for $0.7 million in cash.
In March 2001, the Company disposed of its Vapor Power product line for $4.1
million in cash and a note receivable, and recognized a loss of $0.5 million,
which is reported as other expense.
In February 2000, the Company disposed its transit electrification product line
for $5.5 million in cash, and recognized a gain of $4.4 million, which is
reported as other income.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is provided primarily by operating cash flow and borrowings under the
Company's credit facility with a consortium of commercial banks ("credit
agreement"). The following is a summary of selected cash flow information and
other relevant data.
SIX MONTHS ENDED

depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) 70,623 76,702
Adjusted EBITDA (before

- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Operating cash flow in the first six months of 2001 was $75.1 million compared
to $21.3 million in the same period a year ago. Working capital decreased 11.3%
since December 31, 2000, primarily due to a decrease in inventories and accounts
receivable. During the first six months of 2001 and 2000, cash outlays for
restructuring-related activities were approximately $1.8 million and $10.3
million, respectively, and are reported as a reduction to cash provided by
operating activities.
Cash used for investing activities dropped in the first six months of 2001 to
$3.6 million from $6.5 million a year ago. In the first six months of 2001, cash
received from the sale of a product line was $4.1 million, compared to $5.5
million in the first six months of 2000. Also, in the first six months of 2001,
fixed assets were sold for $4.3 million in cash. Capital expenditures were
essentially the same at $12 million in the first six months of 2001 and 2000.
The majority of capital expenditures for these periods relates to upgrades to
existing equipment and replacement of existing equipment to improve the overall
cost savings through efficiencies.
Cash used for financing activities was $68.8 million in the first six months of
2001 versus $9.1 million in the same period a year ago. In the first six months
of 2001, the Company reduced long term debt, specifically outstanding borrowings
on its credit facility, by approximately $68 million.
The Company estimates the charges at completion of the merger and restructuring
plan will total approximately $84 million pre-tax with approximately $82 million
of the charge expensed to date and the remaining $2 million to be incurred in
the remainder of 2001.
The following table sets forth the Company's outstanding indebtedness and
average interest rates at June 30, 2001. The revolving credit note and other

Credit Agreement
The company currently has an unsecured credit agreement that provides a $275
million five-year revolving credit facility expiring in 2004 and a 364-day $213
million convertible revolving credit facility to be reconfirmed in November
2001. At June 30, 2001, the Company had available borrowing capacity, net of
letters of credit, of approximately $174 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 the
same.
Principal repayments of outstanding loan balances are due at various intervals
until maturity, with 2004 as the primary payment date.
The Company is highly leveraged 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, 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 meeting the 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."
Under its provisions, all goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite
lives will no longer be routinely amortized under a straight-line basis of
estimated useful life. Instead, they will be subject to assessments for
impairment by applying a fair-value-based test. SFAS No. 142 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company has not completed
the process of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting it.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations," which establishes new accounting and reporting
standards for business combinations. The Company has not completed the process
of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting it.
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 $231 million of variable-rate debt (after considering the
effects of interest rate swaps, further described below), which represent 49% of
total long-term debt at June 30, 2001. Management has entered into pay-fixed,
receive-variable interest rate swap contracts that partially mitigate the impact
of variable-rate debt interest rate increases. At June 30, 2001, an
instantaneous 100 basis point increase in interest rates would reduce the
Company's annual earnings by $1.5 million, assuming no additional intervention
strategies by management.
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
133, and as amended by SFAS 138, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" effective January 1, 2001. In the application, the Company
has concluded that its swap contracts qualify for "special cash flow hedge
accounting" which permit recording the fair value of the swap and corresponding
adjustment to other comprehensive income on the balance sheet while creating
some volatility in future earnings, due to market sensitivity and
ineffectiveness in offsetting changes in interest rates of Wabtec's variable
rate borrowings. This fluctuation is not expected to have a material effect on
the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
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, 2001, the Company had no such 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 2001, approximately 74%
of Wabtec's net sales are in the United States, 11% in Canada, 4% in Mexico, and
11% in other international locations, primarily Europe. At June 30, 2001, the
Company does not believe changes in foreign currency exchange rates represent a
material risk to results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
There have been no material changes to report regarding the Company's
commitments and contingencies as described in Note 15 of the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2000.
SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company was held May 22, 2001. Two
matters were considered and voted upon at the Annual Meeting: the election of
three persons to serve as directors and ratification of the appointment of
Arthur Andersen LLP as independent public accountants to audit the financial
statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the 2001 fiscal year.
Nominations of William E. Kassling, James P. Kelley and James P. Miscoll to
serve as directors for a term expiring in 2004 and the appointment of Arthur
Andersen LLP were considered and ultimately approved.
