Greenbrier announces new $425 million leasing term loan

The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. announced that its Greenbrier Leasing Company subsidiary has entered into a new $425 million term loan, with improved pricing and terms, to finance the continued growth of its lease fleet. The new loan is non-recourse to Greenbrier, replaces the existing leasing term loan set to mature in August 2027, and extends the maturity to May 2032.

At closing, $300 million of the term loan will be drawn. Greenbrier intends to use $125 million of delayed draw commitments to purchase railcars in the secondary market during fiscal 2026.

Lorie Tekorius, Chief Executive Officer & President said, "This debt replacement provides efficient, long-term funding to support the continued growth of our lease fleet. Expanding our leasing platform is a strategic priority, enabling us to increase recurring revenue and generate attractive, tax-advantaged cash flows through our disciplined approach to capital allocation and leverage. We appreciate the continued support of our banking partners, which demonstrates confidence in Greenbrier's strategy and business model."
