With one quarter in 2021 under its belt, railcar manufacturer FreightCar America believes its new manufacturing footprint, coupled with positive market conditions, will make 2021 a good year for the company. "The year 2021 is about building momentum in support of expansion and profitable growth as we move forward. We're very pleased with how the new operation is performing … We believe that we are in a good position to start winning," FreightCar America President and CEO Jim Meyer said during his company's first-quarter earnings call Monday. FreightCar America sees a number of tailwinds that could support the company, including declining storage numbers for railcars and higher rail traffic volumes. However, steel prices are more than double the past year and are at all-time high levels, and so the company is looking to ways to mitigate costs, Meyer said. "In addition to the tight and expensive steel supply, the competitive landscape continues to be intense with manufacturers anxious to fill their factories," Meyer said. "The good news is that orders are increasing and demand recovery seems to be gaining momentum.

The COVID-19 pandemic, high number of railcars in storage and low rail volumes hastened FreightCar America (NASDAQ: RAIL ) decision to move all of its railcar production to Mexico. In September, FreightCar America said it would close its Shoals facility in Alabama and move all of its railcar production to the Castaños facility in Mexico by 2021. It had previously taken part in a 50-50 joint venture (JV) for the facility but it acquired the other 50% from the JV partner this fall, meaning that FreightCar America now fully owns the facility. "We must change our cost structure and we must do so quickly. We cannot afford to sustain the current level of losses and we must put quarters like this one behind us once and for all. This move gets us to where we need to be," said FreightCar America Chief Commercial Officer Matt Tonn during his company's third-quarter earnings call Tuesday. The company reported that it sustained a net loss of $40.3 million, or $3.03 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2020 compared with a net loss of $35.7 million, or $2.83 per diluted share, a year ago.

FreightCar America (NASDAQ: RAIL ) is starting to ramp up railcar production, but its executives warned that the company could see an extended downturn that includes high volumes of railcars in storage.
