Greenbrier Companies Inc (NYSE:GBX)’s shares dropped -10.29% to $53.44.
Greenbrier Companies Inc (GBX) declared that it has closed on the formerly stated acquisition of a 19.5% ownership stake in Amsted-Maxion Hortolandia, the leading railcar manufacturer in South America, for about $15 million. Greenbrier has an option to acquire an additional 40.5% ownership interest, to be exercised no later than September 30, 2017.
Amsted-Maxion Hortolandia will use Greenbrier’s planned investment to pay down outstanding debt and position the company for future growth. Amsted-Maxion Hortolandia holds an estimated 70% annual market share in the South American new railroad freight car market. Market demand in Brazil is forecast to exceed about 4,000 new railcars annually for the near term and potentially through the end of this decade. Longer term new railcar demand is predictable to enhance significantly in Brazil, the world’s 7th largest economy measured by GDP. This demand is predictable to be driven by both its extensive investment in infrastructure, counting plans to expand and modernize the Brazilian railway network, and an aging railcar fleet where more than 60% of rail freight rolling stock is 30 years or older and less efficient than the railcar design technology accessible.
Amsted-Maxion, a 50/50 joint venture between Amsted Rail and Iochpe-Maxion, will continue to own the remaining 80.5% in Amsted-Maxion Hortolandia.
