Financial Summary
Wabtec Corp. manufactures value-added equipment for locomotives, railway freight cars and passenger transit vehicles. For the six months ended 6/30/01, revenues rose less than 1% to $508.2 million. Net income fell 25% to $18.3 million. Revenues reflect higher Transit Group sales due to significant shipments of product under the MTA contract. Earnings were offset by lower gross margin due to the effect of lower sales volumes of OEM freight car components.
